Okay...just a few hints to prompt you into getting off your fat, spreading butt and looking... 1) I had, at one time, a *very* popular x-com fiction site. Only became defunct because of the closure of the hosting company. Still have all the files for it...just haven't had the opportunity to write up a whole new site for it all....a little thing called "responsibilities" that us grown-ups have to deal with. You'll understand (hopefully) when your balls finally drop and your voice breaks. 2) After hearing about the closing of Chapel Hill, old Microprose's home of x-com, and the dumping of the X-Com Genesis game, myself and several other denziens of this newsgroup set up a bulletin board as an online protest/petition. Again, very popular, and even earned a few paragraphs in a few popular gaming magazines. Now, hop to it, you lazy bag of *bleep*!!! -- Daniel Blakemore Mini Gallery #1 - http://www.rottenlead.com/copper/thumbnails.php?album=8 #2 - http://www.voidgamers.com/channel/b.190.html?author_name=MYLORDKHORNE #3 - http://www.pbase.com/mylordkhorne/ ICQ:14459824 Yahoo IM: mylordkhorne
