Universal Combat Demo Plans [Sep 29, 2003, 2:59 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
3000AD sends news on plans for the demo for Universal Combat, the upcoming space
simulation formerly known as Battlecruiser Generations. They provide a hedge on
the "first week of October" timetable for the demo provided in the
game's press release (story), saying: "The demo is coming
along just fine and will be released this month ahead of the game's Thanksgiving
release. All things being equal." It seems pretty logical to deduce that
"this month" refers to October rather than September.

Derek Smart is NOT an idiot.
He's sheer genius.
The reason you all think he's stupid is because you have mistaken his function...
He's not a programmer; he's a comedian!
His performance art/comedy, cleverly disguised as the "game releases" that it parodies, are screamingly funny. I only wish he would do more stand-up material.

Heh yea, I noticed that too. It's like Doom, but really crappy!
Wonder if he'll grace us with his presence in this thread.

AAAAHHHHHHH!!! Hahaaha! Go check out some of the screenshots on the official website. They are using FUCKING SPRITES!! The vegetation on the planet is clearly sprite based, and poorly done at that.
Derek must enjoy being publicly raped.

Your mom's at the Taco Palace.
#14, it may not have originated there but it's the best known reference.
Aw yeah, the good old days... when Derek posted in a thread it was guaranteed to reach at least 500 if not 1000 posts full of flame-age. Every circus needs a sideshow, freaks, clowns, and a ringmaster, right?

The chanting 3 times thing is from the old VE forums where he would post on just about any thread relating to him (until AndyB banned him). So the joke was he showed up around the third time his name was chanted just like that movie.
The reference in the Desktop Commander vid isn't where it originated.

LOL yeah right. All those sycophants over at the Taco Palace are just Derek himself posing as fans.

Enahs put a link above that goes to a .wmv joke thing that has the derek smart Derek Smart DEREK SMART thing at the very end. It's actually pretty funny, tho 3 years old about.
P.S.
Whine about Battlecruiser series all you want, it has a dead serious niche following. Very cultish and very devoted. Game must have some plusses.

Where did that (chanting his name) start, anyway? I've seen it for years now, and always get a laugh...

I tried the demo, and it didnt have mouselook, atleast not by default, which in anycase is retarded. Also, its land based controls were more than awkward. Im going to give this one a shot though. LOOKS nice
>>Its predicesors did not have mouselook for FPS.<<
Sorry, but that's just flat out wrong. Both BCM and BCM Gold had mouselook for the FPS mode.

its amazing to me that anyone in this day and age making a FPS (even if its only a section of a greater whole space sim) wouldn't use mouselook.
I don't despise Derek... but... jeezus, thats crazy.

PAH!

Its predicesors did not have mouselook for FPS. Its SO sad, it bloody better, and actually play like a FPS on the planets, and not just a big flat ball.
This is old, but it says it all, and is funny!

No it has mouselook, and the piloting interfaces for other craft are significantly less complex - the whole vibe is heading more towards an oft ripped FPS from the X-box camp (take a guess).
The question is: do 4 or 5 mediocre games crammed together equal one amazing game? We'll find out when that demo drops. Somehow I doubt this will get DS out of his perpetual slump.

"They provide..." They? Who the fuck is "they?" Did Derek put on a few pounds (to add to the 10 pounds of fat already on top of his shoulders) and take to referring to himself in the third person?
Battlecruiser is no longer even entertaining as a laughing stock. Don't insult your own credibility by posting such garbage on your site, Blue.
