CTYI stands for Centre for Talented Youth of Ireland, natch.

iMP.

LegacyUser

Actually no . it stands for Irish Centre for Talented Youth. I don't know how they did this. possibly through acronymic funneling. see aborted 1999 session 1 mc's act

Susan

LegacyUser

Ummm... you're not gonna get that are you? Hahaha. someone'll explain it

Susan

LegacyUser

locutus is spelt with an o.
why are you here if youve never heard of ctyi?

LegacyUser

Irish Centre for Talented Youth, Centre for Talented Youth of Ireland, doesn't really matter does it??

Yes, Locutus is spelt with an 'o'. However Lucutus isn't. (Thus avoiding Paramount copyright infringement and trust me, those guys come after you.)

The reason I am here is that these boards are public forum. And curiousity has taken over too, so I'm posting here asking about it.

another reason, "Damnit 'Ensign', I am a Commander round these parts, answer my bloody question!"

Lucutus of Borg

Damn straight

Seriously though, didnt think you guys would be interested Plus, id like to know how this got to be a public forum all of a sudden...

LegacyUser

Adam, do you actually know the new people, or did they just find us?

Umm... I don't think the name Locutus is trademarked, probably just Locutus of the Borg

Susan

LegacyUser

Oh no, Viacom wouldn't be THAT careless. No, EVERY Star Trek character's name, even if they've only been in one episode, is trademarked. Just in case.

Public Forum is anything on the net which can be accessed as easily as this!

If you people can say interesting stuff, I might just hang around here too *wink*

Brown paper envelpoes or we'll tell the Half-life children where ye are.

LegacyUser

I likes Half-Life!

LegacyUser

nooooo not the half-life board...

A

LegacyUser

So...

Action Half-Life then?

LegacyUser

Yes, or perhaps Counterstrike?

LegacyUser

Or perhaps even TFC?

LegacyUser

Spy, Engineer, Medic or Scout?

Which is better?

(Someone else PLEASE interupt this conversation before it goes beyond a joke)

Sven

LegacyUser

oh and to comment on the copyright argument thingy earlier...

I don't think they're able to prosecute you unless you use their copyrighted stuff for comercial purposes....

So there.

Sven

LegacyUser

CTYI = Colm Thinks You're Idiots!!!!!

C'mon people. Be honest, he does.

LegacyUser

half life is ******
there are only 5 games ever worth a damn
1)mario 2
2)tetris
3)quake
4)space invaders
5)diablo 2

so nih
and quake rocks

LegacyUser

Anybody else notice that 4 out of 5 of those games have at some stage appeared on one Nintendo Console or another? True gamers know that the PC is the best. Who gives a damn about Z-Buffering on the X-Box in two years time when we have it on a standard PC nowadays. Half-Life rocks. So does Counterstrike. So does TeamFortress Classic. So does Opposing Force. So does ALL of it.

iMP

LegacyUser

Counter Strike!

Cillian, dont dis half life if there are any half lifers around...

and if you value your life...

LegacyUser

Thats it, I'm telling the muppets

LegacyUser

So what if he walked into a door. Sven fell over a parked car. He just kinda, well, walked into it and fell over the bonnet like in a Hollywood movie.

Not-So-Interesting fact of the day: The RPG from half-life is the same weapon used to attack MI6 a few days ago.

I would like to support 90% of what Cillian said... except Half-Life is fun... and Mario 3 was the best Mario game ever (possibly best GAME ever)... And Ultima 7 should be on the list.

As for the car... I was running backwards and... YOU WEREN'T EVEN THERE YOU...

Finally...

Um...

Ian... looks... funny?
(I love you really)

Sven

LegacyUser

MARIO 3 RULES! I've got that game on a Nes converter (thank you brother) and I've completed it three times since we got it about a month ago...it is so much fun. Hammer Bros costumes rule.

Um, Eoin - your sexuality is your own business but I'm not that kind of person.

iMP

LegacyUser

um. hammer bros costumes are cool
but mario 2 is still THE BEST
anyone out there ever have a nes? i loved mine to bits
and i dont care, half life IS TERRIBLE
brutal even
n e 1 see daphne & celeste on nevermindthebuzz****s tonite? rather funny how much they can embarrass themselves (although they do have some good "assets" hehheh) im such a man.
hit me fiona.

LegacyUser

I had a NES! Wait a sec, I still have a NES! Yay for the NES (although I still stand by my statement that the PC is the best gaming machine).

iMP

LegacyUser

Oh right. Half-Life is f**king brilliant. OK?!? If you need proof look at the 100 Game of the Year awards it received and also PCG's no. 1 Game of All Time Award two years in a row. Have you even played Half-Life? It kicks ass.

iMP

LegacyUser

Ian, I think Cillian is allowed his somewhat flawed views... MARIO 3 IS THE BEST MARIO GAME EVER! Anyone who disagrees shall have their... <ahem>... removed with improper proceedure.

And yes, my sexuality IS my business, but Ian is right really, I shouldn't talk about him that way.

Anyway, has anyone here played Ultima 7? It won't run properly (ie. it goes WAY too fast) on my computer! Even MoSlo won't help! I'm deprived of my addiction... DAMN YOU PENTIUM AND YOUR FAST CHIPS!

Sven

LegacyUser

How can anyone not like Half-Life???

Its still one of the best single player games out (Only recently was it knocked off number one in my opinion by Deus Ex) and the Counter Strike mod is the best multiplayer game there is at the moment. And thats that.

TFC sucks donkeyb0llocks though.

A

LegacyUser

Anyone here remember the good ol' days of Quake Team Fortress? Those GREAT, GREAT days?

Anyone?

Sven

LegacyUser

Me for one. Thank you Sven, I probably wouldn't have played it for many years more if you and Shane hadn't brought me to that Cyber Cafe back in the days when the internet was not in great supply...

Kate doesn't like guns. But Sarah would love it (OP4 anyway), because it features the Desert Eagle, the mention of which..... oh never mind.

LegacyUser

Ooh! you know what's a fun game? that thing we were playing at Noirins where I kept slapping people(both in the game and out)and RUAIRI KEPT KILLING ME!!! Evil ruairi *grumblegrumble*

Susan

LegacyUser

Yes! The Desert Eagle is one of the most fu<king kick ass guns in the world. For list of all the most kick ass guns in the world, click here.

I don't remember editing that message...
Funny (looks at Ian suspiciously)...

Anyone here ever have an Amiga (the memories! )?

On the subject of weapons, goto www.tigerstrike.com for swords and stuff.

Sven

LegacyUser

I had an amiga. Well, I shared one with my brother. I was quite good at Simon the Sorceror (one of the funniest games ever made...not in the comic sense, it was just really funny).

LegacyUser

I had Simon The Sorcerer (for my PC, though). Was OK.

MONKEY ISLAND 2: LE'CHUCKS REVENGE is THE BEST GAME EVER!

Anyone ever read Amiga Power (the magazine of Champions)?

Sven

LegacyUser

Yeah, LeChuck's revenge is cool. Anyone here ever play any of the Monkey Island fangames? I hear some of them were quite good. Can't wait for Monkey Island IV (Escape from Monkey Island) anyway...

iMP

LegacyUser

Half-Life is a decent game, certainly the best shooter ever made. Still, it is a shooter, and still basically follows the "see bad guy, shoot bad guy" routine. Still, it did push the bar somewhat higher than the "see red door, find red key" DooM clones that were (and are) being churned out at the time. Half-Life did have key hunts, only their dynamic was more along the lines of, "see locked door, find scientist", which was at least something different.

On the multiplayer side of things, I get the feeling that I'm the only person on the face of the earth who likes Half-Life standard DM. Counter-Strike is nice, but still fairly simple gameplay-wise.

Thief, System Shock, and Deus Ex are all incredible games, which defy categorization. They have dynamic environments and wonderfully immersive gameplay, and Deus Ex even has a killer engine. I want more games like these; this isn't to say I want a bunch of Deus Ex clones, but rather, I want immersive, realistic games with rich open-ended environments (even more so than Deus Ex). Give me real physics in a dynamic world and true AI conversation over machine guns and blue keys any day.

Deus Ex doesn't come with multiplayer, but there are multiplayer mods being written. Think about a Deus Ex team assualt mode... ooh, the possibilities

For all you Quake fans, I'm sorry, but id software has seriously lost their touch. Quake was a solid shooter, with good multiplayer. Quake 2's single player is a nauseating and boring mix of browns and olive drab. Its multiplayer is also similarly colored, but at least it's fun. Quake 3 is graphically fairly nice, but contains absolutely no gameplay. If you want multiplayer action, Unreal Tournament is a far, far better game (with nicer graphics, to boot).

Now id is remaking DooM. Again. Yay?
