I must recommend http://www.unrealadmin.org for information on hosting an unreal server.

Maps, redirector locations and instructions for windows and linux.

Nice site...is your UT server up and running yet?

Post by **Osiramon** » Sat Nov 22, 2003 4:49 pm

Its up but not broadcasting properly. Looks like its the way I have my network setup. Am doing some modifications to it at this time.
Will make it a fixed ip on my local network.

Btw, the outside IP for it is 1 of 2:
67.80.49.40 - Cable Modem (this is the fastest upload side).
unclelouis.com (151.198.28.18) - Fixed DSL ip side.

Both routers are configured to go into server.

Interesting qt video. Not sure of what though. Movie or game. I always find it interesting when two decide to fight with swords and yet there are mech's?

The age of swords is over, probably never to return while there is still civilization. Future space fighting in close combat not withstanding. Guns are just too easy to make and keep around.

Its always sad when someone cannot enjoy entertainment for what it is but analyze and blame it for being less than real..

In reality sword play and the art is not dead. Bullits run out, machines break down, and life is elemental. When you rely on technology to much you loose site of reality itself. I will always carry a knife it is protection, it is a tool, it is simple. I can probably do more with a knife than most can do with a gun, a screwdriver, or most tools.

This short is superb in its fantasy, you actually comment on the reason why sword play comes into play. When one of the characters "with his sword" completely severs a Mech in two.. That does not seem like dead sword play to me..

I never said I didn't find it entertaining...

Swordplay is a close combat skill, therefore it may always return as a dueling method or even a combat skill where close combat is the only thing. As an artform and a romantic way of dealing oponents in a movie I understand it and appreciate it.

The problem I have is as you point out. Two mechs fighting with swords. One splitting the other. I just don't think it's a good thing for mech to be that weak. Even for a video. Now with regards to mechs I have no problems with 1-1 or other mech dueling as a symbol of past way of the Knight. I do play MechWarrior and have Steel Battalion. Stealth, using cover, Outmanouvering and tactics are what I like. Think cavalry or even Air-To-Air combat. It is skill and tactics that win.

As for the video there were so many different things going on that the sword splitting mechs stuck out as a severe anachronism. And the tech in me had to respond.

And don't you think that it's funny that my avatar gif is fighting it out with swords?
