Some more split with that screen?
Posted by Data in Cortex Command - February 4th, 2007

Major progress this week. Now multiple players (1-4) can be on the same team, cooperating against another AI or player-controlled team. You and your teammates can buy stuff and have it delivered wherever you want on the map, and you can order as many times as you want without having to wait for the deliveries to get there - they just queue up!

Four-player game

Imagine playing coop with three of your buddies: one on the mouse+keyb, one on the other side of the keyboard, and the two remaining on USB gamepads (not necessarily xbox 360 controllers)… trying to protect your collective brain from the onslaught of a now very deadly AI who can actually aim straight!

One of you guys may be on the offense, one tending to the defense control, one who is responsible for the gold collection operation, and the fourth as a floater who keeps everyone supplied with new guys and guns.

It’s all in the upcoming build, folks… There’s some tedious menu and other user interface work to be done, but almost everything else under the hood is good to go for a release sometime next week!

    Holy crap, do I see specific drop spots? I love you. This is going to be SWEEET.

    Time to sleep for half a week. I’ll be back for the release.

  2. Kurrus - # February 4th, 2007 at 6:38 am

    Too bad I don’t have intelligent people to play against/with. But nice anyway.

  3. The Punisher - # February 4th, 2007 at 7:08 am

  6. Dauss - # February 4th, 2007 at 8:36 am

    VERY nice.

    There’s just one thing I gotta know though…

    Can I change the gold cost of the SMG yet? ;)

  7. Shalafi - # February 4th, 2007 at 8:50 am

    That’s great! But no every one has gamepads… When will you enable online playing? I can imagine 4 Vs 4 human! that would be awesome!

  8. Kamigawa - # February 4th, 2007 at 9:06 am

    WEEEE!!!
    Awesome !!! Great work :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

  9. Axxel - # February 4th, 2007 at 9:21 am

  11. Party Pancakes - # February 4th, 2007 at 10:42 am

    shiplabpf! that looks so AWSOME!!!!!eleveneleven111one

  12. Afroded - # February 4th, 2007 at 10:48 am

    ive noticed in the buy menu that there is an [item] area called nodes. What are those?

    Ps looks awsome. the finished version is obiously going to be better than soldat(times about a million :D)

  13. Afroded - # February 4th, 2007 at 10:50 am

    i spelled obviously wrong :(

    P.S (again lol) when are there going to be vehicles in the game??? O.O

  14. Durza - # February 4th, 2007 at 10:52 am

    Can’t. freaking. wait. This better be out before thursday, I have work then… if not oh well.

  15. Zalo - # February 4th, 2007 at 10:53 am

    I think nodes means where you land it.

  16. GiantPixel - # February 4th, 2007 at 10:54 am

    Yeah! Cortex Command is another Game that still has nice developing ! Keep up the good work guys :D

    Not bad..other Games never get updatet =)

  17. Striker26 - # February 4th, 2007 at 11:01 am

    HOLY CRAP!
    Data You Rock!

  18. Afroded - # February 4th, 2007 at 11:13 am

    I went back to one of the earlier enteries and noticed it said: “…the humans have traveled to planet [insert name here] for it’s high resorce of gold…” (or something like that) at the insert name part i realised that the planet has not been named yet or i’ve missed it. Have you come up with anything?

  19. Afroded - # February 4th, 2007 at 11:31 am

    nogardnep… for the moon name? lolz its pendragon (my fav book) backwards

    simitra, for the planet whitch would be artimis backwards (not that i have read artimis fowl…)

  20. Nikola - # February 4th, 2007 at 11:55 am

    This is going to be kooooooooooooool(with k)!!!!

  21. Ramosa - # February 4th, 2007 at 11:56 am

    Think about all the people who has dual-screen today.. Why not skip the split screen, and utilize 2 (or more?) monitors..

  22. kokits - # February 4th, 2007 at 12:01 pm

    I can’t wait for co-op, my dad hates playing Vs. Mouse support will be awesome. To bad I have wireless 360 controllers, CURSE YOU WIRED CONTROLLERS… CURSE YOU!

  23. I am Drunkman - # February 4th, 2007 at 12:03 pm

    It is Artemis, not Artimis, Fowl. They are the best books ever..

    Anyhow, is wheeled vehicles implemented?

    And, is there anyway of ‘net play yet?

  24. I am Drunkman - # February 4th, 2007 at 12:04 pm

    [quote="Afroded"]ive noticed in the buy menu that there is an [item] area called nodes. What are those? [/quote]

    It actually says “Nades”, as in Grenades…

  25. makeshifter - # February 4th, 2007 at 1:24 pm

    *cue holy music* FINALLY IT OUT… wait oh next week. well just remember we’re all waiting also didn’t you say something about remembering to not to promise due dates because it almost never is on that date.

  26. iwillcontrolyou - # February 4th, 2007 at 1:24 pm

    i can’t wait for next week! awesome game already and it keeps getting better!

  27. KeroroCanti - # February 4th, 2007 at 1:49 pm

    Wow, it looks great so far! So, are those specific drop points? If they are, will you be able to choose where they are and move them in game? Anyway, this is one of the best games ever, and one last thing, will you add more actors in some of the next builds?

  28. Arctic - # February 4th, 2007 at 1:55 pm

    I’m drooling :)

  29. Lorne Whiting - # February 4th, 2007 at 2:45 pm

    If only I had friends in real life!

  30. Thanatos - # February 4th, 2007 at 2:54 pm

    Rofl, that’s funny. hey data, im having a lan party on the 16th, and cortex command has been chosen as the “host’s favorite game”. omg, i cant wait for this to come out!!!

  31. BreenedandScrooned - # February 4th, 2007 at 3:20 pm

    This is going to kick ass. Does the AI walk and shoot at the same time now?

  32. Kaito - # February 4th, 2007 at 3:30 pm

    One word! AWESOME :D XD =U

  33. Acehead - # February 4th, 2007 at 3:37 pm

    Oh lawdy

  34. gnat - # February 4th, 2007 at 4:41 pm

    Cannot wait to play the next release!

  35. ToonyMan - # February 4th, 2007 at 4:56 pm

    I can’t wait. Awesome! :D

  36. TheLastBanana - # February 4th, 2007 at 5:04 pm

    Wow, this looks great!
    Hmm…
    About the interfaces.
    I’m planning on working on something involving them soon.
    Will it still use the same GUI bmp file, or will there be more types of menus?
    Also, there’s a green divider line between every buyable object, and it can’t be changed, if it would be possible to implement that into the next build, that would be great.

  37. LAWL - # February 4th, 2007 at 5:22 pm

    OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG THIS WILL EB THE PWNAGE OMG I WONT SLEEP AAAAAAAAAAAARGH

  38. Data's Fiance - # February 4th, 2007 at 5:28 pm

    It’s looking great!

  39. jockmo42 - # February 4th, 2007 at 7:56 pm

    AAAH, give it to me before I combust!

  40. Empyreal - # February 4th, 2007 at 10:11 pm

    Wow. I’m going to be constantly checking the dev log for it. :D

  41. 21GP - # February 4th, 2007 at 11:14 pm

    You…are amazing. I can’t believe you’ve gotten that far in a month, especially since you took the work break and all.

  42. AKADeadly - # February 4th, 2007 at 11:18 pm

    This looks really HOT!!!

  43. dan_e - # February 4th, 2007 at 11:46 pm

    when will the level editor come out? by the way nice going data.

  44. Juggz - # February 5th, 2007 at 2:29 am

    I Love You…

    Keep it up, and next week. This is the most updated game in development i have ever seen. Keep it up though, no slacking :P

  45. Raziel - # February 5th, 2007 at 6:25 am

    WOAH!!! ME WANTS! XD

  46. FinDude - # February 5th, 2007 at 6:27 am

    OMG!!!

  47. Nikola(Nikica) - # February 5th, 2007 at 6:44 am

    Hey, 4 players=4 brains= OMG a new MAP!!!

  48. Omni (Omnimmotus) - # February 5th, 2007 at 8:46 am

    You want me to send you a cup of my semen so we can mix our genes to make super-babies? It will be test-tube KICKASS.

    Oh, by the way, what model gun is the SMG? An MP5 by any chance? I love those things.

  49. Galaxy613 - # February 5th, 2007 at 11:25 am

    I don’t think the SMG has a model gun… it’s definetly not a MP5 tho.

  50. Skibiliano - # February 5th, 2007 at 12:20 pm

    The one i wish to have is having a Co-op mod, that you and your friend (like) against hordes of ai like in singleplayer

    Then i would think this as a better game

  51. Skibiliano - # February 5th, 2007 at 12:21 pm

    Doh! sorry i didn’t read it quite well.. sorry.. These two messages can be noticed as nothing would have been happened SORRY!

  52. Batesman - # February 5th, 2007 at 4:13 pm

    OMG! you just made me all hyper and excited

  53. Acidfire - # February 5th, 2007 at 5:03 pm

    ZOMFG!

    Awesome!! :D

  54. Juggz - # February 5th, 2007 at 5:06 pm

    Im almost as excited about this as Spore and Crysis… and thats saying alot

  55. Metroid48 - # February 5th, 2007 at 5:55 pm

    WOW!

    Just as a question, are the gamepad controls completely customizable? I have a joystick, and could use the ‘hat’ as the four directions, if it’s custom.

    Anyway, great job! New AI, co-op, drop-points… Oh My!

    Just add a ‘disable blood’ option and it’s going on my website!

  56. TheLastBanana - # February 5th, 2007 at 7:39 pm

    “This is going to be kooooooooooooool(with k)!!!!”
    Then it’s gonna be a dutch cabbage…
    Great.

  57. BreenedandScrooned - # February 5th, 2007 at 7:50 pm

    Why do you want to get rid of the blood so much, Metroid? That’s part of what makes it so funny when you die.

  58. Tomaster - # February 5th, 2007 at 8:04 pm

    Data, you are god

  59. Metroid48 - # February 5th, 2007 at 9:24 pm

    On my website, I try to only add games that would have around a Teen rating. I dunno, but Cortex Command can get REALLY bloody, even without mods.

    However, I would agree that it’s fine by me. Just not for my site.

  60. Durza - # February 5th, 2007 at 10:01 pm

    Will anyone be able to control any actor? Or will it be that you can only control guys you buy?

  61. Data - # February 5th, 2007 at 10:50 pm

    You can switch to any actor on your team that isn’t currently being controlled by someone else, except for the brain (buy menu), which everyone can control at the same time, and get their own menus which will remember their own settings.

    So yes, you can control stuff that your teammates have ordered, as long as they’re not currently controlling them themselves.

  62. LAWL - # February 5th, 2007 at 11:42 pm

    No offense Metroid, but (in my opinion) the teen rating is retarded. Teenagers swear MORE than adults, and since when did red pixels on the screen make kids go crazy because they aren’t ready for that?

    Anyway, thats my rant.

    Seriously though, can you set it so you don’t have to use the mouse and keyboard? Can I use the two old keyboard settings, and two gamepads? If I do a 2v2 or anything, I dont want the 1 guy with the mouse to pwnzor everyone else.

    Oh yeah, and holy shit I can’t believe that a new cortex command is adding new ai, coop, new order features and 4 players holy crap I’m not going to sleep when it comes out. Or eat. Or any other action besides get carpal tunnel.

  63. Juggz - # February 6th, 2007 at 2:31 am

    He’s right Metroid, Us teens love violence

    Whats your website i may have a look at it

  64. BreenedandScrooned - # February 6th, 2007 at 2:33 am

    I’m thinking the same thing, Lawl. But I guess if parents don’t want their kids exposed to violence, maybe a disable blood option should be added, though I’m not sure how you’d tell if you were dying from after getting shot.

  65. Data - # February 6th, 2007 at 4:26 am

    Lawl: you can have two players be pure keyboard if you want. Or four gamepads. Your choice!

  66. Omni (Omnimmotus) - # February 6th, 2007 at 8:11 am

    Actually, I think the blood in this game is integral to the gameplay, when you get shot you can tell by the hole, when you lose a limb that big bloody spot makes it clear to you. When you’re bleeding, you lose health. I think that in this case a remove blood and gibs option would be like a remove guns option, what’s the point?

    Then again, I never did like that whole rating system. Shielding your children is a touchy subject, go too far and they’ll rebel against you, and possibly have trouble in the real world. Go too little, and they may be scarred for life. Oh well, this ain’t the place for philosophical discussions.

    I am thoroughly infatuated with this game. (infatuated (adj): Possessed by an unreasoning passion or attraction.) I can’t wait! Good going guys!

  67. LAWL - # February 6th, 2007 at 9:24 am

    Thanks Data. I was worried that a versus match would be unbalanced since the mouse aiming can own.

    Sorry for bringing the rating system into this topic, I didn’t want to throw it away from the subject, heheh.

  68. Omni (Omnimmotus) - # February 6th, 2007 at 10:20 am

    Blame it on metroid Lawl.

    Now if only I could get it working with two keyboards and two mice/mouses….

  69. Kurrus - # February 6th, 2007 at 11:39 am

    I see all these (seemingly bad) things about teenagers and I’m glad I’m not like the ones you are talking about… :D

  70. Jonnern2 - # February 6th, 2007 at 11:55 am

    WOOOOOOOW, CAN`T wait!!!

  71. 21GP - # February 6th, 2007 at 11:59 am

    I think it’s a bad idea to be okay with your offspring playing a game where people get shot in the head as long as they don’t BLEED. A little bit weird as far as priorities go. But it’s common! Same for the institution of swear words. The fear-of-children-seeing-fake-blood thing is pretty much a 20th century invention…and actually people have become much more tense about swear words in the last century or so, too. I say that it’s our animal instinct to look for the superficial — which can be seen at first glance — to give us a good guess as to more relevant things. And so these parents, full of good intentions and poor self-reflection, try to make a child be kind by making him not use impolite language, politeness being a superficial trait that is associated with kindness. Violence is the same way. If you put yourself in the place of your parent — it helps to have a much younger sibling — it feels very bad to think that your kid is spending a great deal of time having fun by digitally shooting people. However, the fact that a person plays a game where the goal is a violent one in no way means that they are entertained by the observation of or participation in real-life violence. All dramatic entertainment — movies and books and games, too — are founded on conflict, which is for quite obvious reasons the coolest thing in the world. And (especially, I expect, for males who are, whether by cultural or chemical conditioning, geared very much towards the physical) what is a more pure conflict than violence? Any animal’s survival instincts (including our own) rely on reacting to, avoiding and/or utilizing violence. However, as fairly empathic beasts, the vast majority of us will not willingly cause corporeal harm to another human being without being given a nice little incentive for doing so. It is precisely because we know that this is not real and that we would not really do this that we find digital violence so engaging.

    Aw, hell, think what you want, I guess. Far be it from me to make you scroll down this far without at least losing confidence at the end. I’m just a 15-year-old who likes to type a very great deal.

  72. 21GP - # February 6th, 2007 at 12:03 pm

    OH and again, you are incredible for maintaining a project this great for free for, what, three, four years now? The internet reeks of death — long-abandoned websites with good ideas and better web design but founded more on the enthusiasm of the moment than realistic goals. There are few mediocre, even fairly shitty games that have been updated as vigilantly as this amazing one has.
    That kind of sounded like I was calling Cortex Command shitty/mediocre but I WASN’T! This game is better as it is than the majority of full retail games I’ve bought. AND IT’S STILL ALIVE, DAMMIT!

  73. Omni (Omnimmotus) - # February 6th, 2007 at 12:28 pm

    My only comment 21GP is don’t forget about the Victorian era. If a table’s legs were showing it was considered perverse, and I’m serious about that.

  74. Fat Zombie - # February 6th, 2007 at 2:57 pm

    Wooo! Yay! Hoopla! This looks great!

  75. LAWL - # February 6th, 2007 at 5:45 pm

    Well said 21GP.

    Cortex Command is one of my top 5 favorite games EVER. I have played half life 1 and 2 (the second is another of the top ones), IL2 Sturmovik, Doom 3, Quake (like a bunch of them) Command and Conquer (all the ones from red alert 2 and recenter) and a bunch more that I’m way too lazy to remember. Its my favorite free game for sure, and at least in my top 5 games ever.

    Keep up the good work DATA, I can’t wait for the next release. I actually cant… *twitch*

  76. Kokits - # February 6th, 2007 at 7:32 pm

    I know that ratings is a touchy subject, but I do think a blood option would be good. My dad loves video games and is always interested in what I play. I’ve never been able to show him Toribash because I know he’ll flip about all the blood. I also can’t play a lot of online games because I know that if my parents walk by, then they will make me stop playing it.

    My dad won’t let me buy Crackdown because of the rating. He let’s me buy other rated M games, but Crackdown is rated M for the same reasons as GTA 3.

    If more games featured options that let you turn off blood, language, and that sort of stuff, then kids with stricter parents can still play a larger variety of games.

    If only I could play Gears of War…

  77. AquaGeneral - # February 6th, 2007 at 11:09 pm

    Well you know what you should do Kokits? Secretly hire it out when your mum and dad are gone or if you have a freind that has a game such as Gears of War say “I am just going o my freinds house to play football or something.

  78. Bunda the Great - # February 6th, 2007 at 11:44 pm

    This will pretty much be the awesome.
    CC is one of my fave games right now too.

    Know what will be fun?
    THIS GAME
    WHEN THE NEW BUILD COMES OUT
    HOORAY

    /dances

  79. 21GP - # February 7th, 2007 at 12:44 am

    That’s deep.

    You’re right about the Victorian era, for the rich. But the poor swore more than most people today, really. Only the religious ones were viewed as truly taboo.

  80. Juggz - # February 7th, 2007 at 1:22 am

    Kokits your parents are stupid, just wait till your 18 and then play any game you want to rub it in their face…

    My mum plays postal 2 and GTA and loves em, go violent games and parents who play them too

  81. BreenedandScrooned - # February 7th, 2007 at 1:44 am

    I wouldn’t call them stupid (Unless they think that playing violent videogames makes you kill people), I think they just don’t want him seeing violent stuff. But we shouldn’t go off-topic. The new build looks great, Data! Keep up the good work!

  82. Axxel - # February 7th, 2007 at 9:00 am

    I don’t think a no-blood option in CC would really work. What about limbs and stuff, that fall off when you get shot? Not to mention all the violent sound effects. It might sound a bit rough, but violence is an important part of CC’s gameplay. Besides, half the fun is just seeing those bastards being torn to shreds when you shoot them in the face with an AK-47, hehehe >=D

  83. Omni (Omnimmotus) - # February 7th, 2007 at 9:21 am

    Or bring a dropship down on their face. Those engines RIP THEM TO SHREDS.

    Can’t wait for this next build, Data. That offer on comment 48 is still up, by the way. Heheh.

  84. Kokits - # February 7th, 2007 at 11:36 am

    The reason that I don’t wait till there gone and hide out and stuff is because I’m a goody two-shoes. /halo

    But really, my parents are cool. They let me do whatever I want, they allow me to play what games I want as long as I don’t disobey them. And my point was, that if someone has stricter parents, then these type of features would help them.

  85. Shadow - # February 7th, 2007 at 12:26 pm

    ARRGGGG next weeek noooooo soooo long :D
    But will be cooool I think I got 360controller so its good

  86. Batesman - # February 7th, 2007 at 2:24 pm

    YOU LIAR!!! joke joke, anyways keep up the good work data!! every build makes everything improved! E-V-E-R-Y particle of the new build is improved. :D probably lolz.

    anyways thank you so much for making this game in the first place

  87. LAWL - # February 7th, 2007 at 3:21 pm

    ARG! I want this build SOOO BAAAD! When DATA said next week, did they mean February 4-10 or 11-17? I really hope they meant this week because I check the website every hour at least in hopes of my new drug….

    I NEED MY FIX!

  88. SgtBob - # February 7th, 2007 at 4:57 pm

    Go Data!

    (and Postal 2!)

  89. LAWL - # February 7th, 2007 at 6:10 pm

    Wait, what week is the next build going to be released? February 4-10, or 11-18?

  90. Thustrust - # February 7th, 2007 at 6:42 pm

    This is exciting! I can’t wait for the new build Data.

    But on a more somber note, are you planning on adding more features to CC, like better low velocity physics and doors and stuff? I remember you talking about that before, and it would REALLY kick the gameplay up a notch if we could stand on rockets and people couldn’t walk through the ground…

    Congratulations on your work so far though, and thanks!

  91. LAWL - # February 7th, 2007 at 7:08 pm

    Doors would be pretty cool, especially if you could repair and kick/shoot them down. It would be awesome defending a doorway, and all of a sudden this c4 goes off and blows door fragments in.

  92. LAWL - # February 7th, 2007 at 7:33 pm

    ARG I’M SO BORED! I’m checking this damn site every five minutes because I’m worried I could miss the release! DAMN YOU DATA! Your game is too fun! Arg!

  93. Dob - # February 7th, 2007 at 7:53 pm

    This week?

  94. Master Pimp - # February 7th, 2007 at 7:55 pm

    Great game Data this is really shapeing up to be an epic!

  95. Data - # February 7th, 2007 at 8:04 pm

    Thrustrust: Yeah we definitely have plans to revise the collision response logic, and also add doors, which will actually be a corollary to that.
    You should be able to get slowly crushed under a closing hatch, for example the current physics can’t do it properly. It’s going to happen.

  96. LAWL - # February 7th, 2007 at 8:15 pm

    Cool, that should make things interesting.

  97. Thustrust - # February 7th, 2007 at 8:41 pm

    YAY! You rock Data. Finally a developer who cares about his community! (and makes kickass games to begin with…)

    data seems almost as drunk as i am.

  99. BreenedandScrooned - # February 7th, 2007 at 11:26 pm

    Shadow, I don’t think you have to have a 360 controller, I think Data said most controllers would work now.

  100. Skibiliano - # February 8th, 2007 at 1:15 am

    100th comment :)

    i wonder what the full version will be?
    well yea, This game is coming closer to it’s mighty super form. Can’t really wait.

  101. superdigg - # February 8th, 2007 at 3:38 am

    I can’t tell you how nice it is to have a game that actually receives significant updates in reasonably fast intervals. the freeware community needs more people like Data!

  102. Juggz - # February 8th, 2007 at 6:33 am

    Data, any chance of what LAWL mentioned? being able to blow open a door with enough C4?

    Like it’d gib or something…

    I dont mean now, but in the future

  103. Skibiliano - # February 8th, 2007 at 9:48 am

    Would be good with doors that you could kick them broke that nothing can open em and they must be destroyed to go in/out, like bending em or something

    and how the doors would work? do they regonize the type, like red teammate and green teammate? and open for red, close for green

    could Door hacking be possible :)

  104. TSRabbit - # February 8th, 2007 at 12:00 pm

    I suppose you could make a 3 square high actor that’s just a block…
    Sounds really good, coop sounds like the best update

  105. BreenedandScrooned - # February 8th, 2007 at 1:12 pm

    The build after this one needs online play, or at least LAN.

  106. Batesman - # February 8th, 2007 at 3:46 pm

    ye im with breened.

  107. iwillcontrolyou - # February 8th, 2007 at 4:14 pm

    hey, anything planned weapon wise sometime within a few builds or so? (all the talk of C4 makes me want sticky weapons…)

  108. Bobster - # February 8th, 2007 at 7:48 pm

    I hope it comes out this week

  109. Omni (Omnimmotus) - # February 8th, 2007 at 7:50 pm

    Haha, can’t wait for doors. Maybe they could be upgradable? I don’t want to be stuck with the same doors the whole game. (I love the idea of crushing people under the door.)

    I eagerly await this next build and anything else made by Data. He has proved himself quite the developer, and those same praises should be extended to his teammates.

    On another note, RZ mentioned the word “Drunk”. Sounds like fun, count me in! …man, now I want to get drunk….

  110. LetterSix - # February 8th, 2007 at 9:26 pm

    Oh my GOD… MUST GET TO FUTURE SHOP AND BUY MORE WIRED CONTROLLERS!!!!

  111. Batesman - # February 9th, 2007 at 6:55 am

    lol.

    Data
    are you releasing this next week? or like, today or saturday or sunday?

    i really don’t mind coz i just got home from school and i’m off school for a week.
    WOOOOOOHOOO!!!

    Holidays AND Cortex Command Build!!!

    *dances*

  112. PromoStarr - # February 9th, 2007 at 7:05 am

    Waooaooaoaoaoao…

    Whens next week??? like monday or saturday?
    TELL US AND GIVE US A DAY!!

  113. Skibiliano - # February 9th, 2007 at 10:43 am

    Can you publicy display like deadline when you THINK it’s ready

    Can’t wait!

  114. jacomup - # February 9th, 2007 at 12:16 pm

    I agree with Skibiliano, please give us a date!!!

  115. anonymous - # February 9th, 2007 at 2:29 pm

    something like that would really help ,that way I could save myself the trouble of checking the site every day

  116. Omni (Omnimmotus) - # February 9th, 2007 at 2:45 pm

    Deadlines are bad, too much anxiety for the developer. I usually assume that any deadline will be missed by anywhere from a day to a week. After all, you want it to be the best, don’t you?

    For the next build, this site is worth checking every day. We’ll get it when we get it. :)

  117. RZ - # February 9th, 2007 at 3:48 pm

    when the build comes out, me and omni will KRUNK!
    WITH A K!

  118. Afroded - # February 9th, 2007 at 5:10 pm

    AAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL the way back to the guy that corected me about the nades, i noticed after a little while (to those who don’t understand, time for some backtracking.).

    And for metroid, IM ELEVEN YEARS OLD FOR CRYING OUT (incredibly bad word)ING LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Anyway, cant wait to get it. I might invite over my (12 year old HINT, HINT metriod…) Friend and he can bring 2 of his friends (also not much older, metriod)

  119. Afroded - # February 9th, 2007 at 5:12 pm

    VEHICHLES DATA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    cant wait

  120. Afroded - # February 9th, 2007 at 5:30 pm

    might not be able to get the game when it really come out cuz my bro is nearly constantly on the computer. Scratch that, MY FRIGGIN’ COMPUTER!!!!!the only reason im on it now is cuz my bro is at his girlfriend’s house.

    VEHICLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  121. mooseproduce - # February 9th, 2007 at 6:50 pm

    So, at this point you are not allowed to NOT make online/network play. Making a super-awesome co-op mode = making it able to be played over the Intranets, otherwise my lack of friends will impede gameplay. :’(

  122. Juggz - # February 9th, 2007 at 8:03 pm

    Will there be an option to change the resolution soon, i have a widescreen monitor running at 1400×900 and CC looks weird on it.

  123. dc443 - # February 9th, 2007 at 10:59 pm

    The resolution can be changed in the config files. But Data, you should make it more user-friendly by extending the background texture so it doesn’t look as unfinished if I set a higher resolution, and adding a setting in the game options. Aside from that, the game works perfectly fine. also sometimes it ghosts when there’s no background texture there.

    Who knows, maybe you can do a custom background texture which is bigger so that this is not a problem. Still, it should be included. :)

    BTW Awesome game, Data, like nothing i’ve ever seen before. Keep up the most excellent work. Must… have…. mouse… aim…………

  124. BreenedandScrooned - # February 10th, 2007 at 12:51 am

    Afroded, you need to get a computer, then you can do whatever you want.

  125. Dragonshadow - # February 10th, 2007 at 8:51 am

    I really can’t wait!

    But it is next week now…

  126. biz - # February 10th, 2007 at 12:54 pm

    i getting kinda despirate now for the NEW version since the old one no longer works for me now (it crashes when loading the level) please release it soon!
    this game is awesome and im getting kranky because i can no longer play it :-(

  127. NonReligiousPerson - # February 10th, 2007 at 3:19 pm

    Well I must say I was expecting it to be out by now, but if you really will stick to your deadlines it has to out today, if any of you are religious (I’m not) because the bible says the the week starts on Sunday meaning that the new version of CC should be released today as you said it will be available by the end of this week.

  128. Batesman - # February 10th, 2007 at 3:34 pm

    Data when is this gonna be released?

    Is it tommorow or will it be sometime next week?

    Anways, I’m really looking forward to it.

  129. Luke wants cortex command - # February 10th, 2007 at 4:07 pm

    I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE MORE!!!
    *head explodes*

  130. BreenedandScrooned - # February 10th, 2007 at 4:59 pm

    Hey, hey, don’t pressure him, it’ll come out when it comes out.

  131. Bobster - # February 10th, 2007 at 5:17 pm

    Must……Have…..

  132. Joemikkel - # February 10th, 2007 at 6:06 pm

    It hurts to wait… I swear, i check this page five times a day. Don’t rush it, tho, finish it well before the release.

  133. UndeadHawk - # February 10th, 2007 at 6:27 pm

    Nonreligousperson: He wrote that it would be out sometime next week and the next week starts tomorrow. So with some easy math you can easily calculate that it will be out in seven days at worst. And that is what you should expect yourself, always expect the worst ;).

  134. Joemikkel - # February 10th, 2007 at 6:29 pm

    Well, he posted that on the 4, and was a Sunday. So i guess it just depends whether he considers Sunday the first or last day of the week.

  135. Dobodo4 - # February 11th, 2007 at 12:24 am

    I really hope it comes out on Sunday….

  136. LAWL - # February 11th, 2007 at 1:09 am

    At least before school starts again

  137. Skibiliano - # February 11th, 2007 at 2:34 am

    i check this site 5 times a day too, Can’t wait!

  138. blipflip - # February 11th, 2007 at 2:56 am

    nonreligiousperson : “the bible says the the week starts on Sunday ”

    Maybe so, but the bible says a lot of things we don’t take notice of anymore, for good reasons.

    Everyone else says the week starts on monday :P

    Either way, the sooner the better Data, this game is getting so good it is disturing.

  139. anonymous - # February 11th, 2007 at 5:07 am

    It be Sunday the last day of da week where be cortex command?
    gone, like so much else in this world. “The book of developments 33:89 ;the gospel of steve”

  140. nonreligiousperson - # February 11th, 2007 at 5:19 am

    Well what ever day CC comes out today or not remember in the UK we are six hours ahead of so your probably getting this post at about 5 in the morning meaning that if CC comes out at mid-night today then I will be getting it the next day as in my time that would be 6 o clock in the morning though I do stay up that late sometimes reading the bible looking for things say in my posts.

  141. electric cheese - # February 11th, 2007 at 6:42 am

    data cant wait mouse aiming will be perfect for sniping!
    p.s oh never mind the stupid p.s i live in the uk so new build at lunch can take it any more head splodes :dead:

  145. KarvaBopi - # February 11th, 2007 at 8:53 am

    I hope it comes out today…

  146. Batesman - # February 11th, 2007 at 9:07 am

    It will come out eventually. just. . . need . . . .patience.

    I think the problem here is that everyone’s hyper with excitement XD

  147. robburdon - # February 11th, 2007 at 9:34 am

    i think its nades. not nodes. but im not sure. i cant even remember wat a nade is. i think its like a grenade. maybe with fire?

    aaww well. weel soon find out.

  148. robburdon - # February 11th, 2007 at 10:04 am

    sorry 4 double post. btw to stop people walking into the ground, i put the grass strength higher than metal. it stops skelitons screwing up the ground. if u use a map with little grass, put the dirt strength up. not too much tho. it will stop mining if u do.

    4 mines, i find they explode as they hit the ground? am i throwing them too hard?

    Please at least tell us what you mean by next week! And PLEASE release it this week! I beg of you!!! I NEED THIS GAME!!! But no pressure, no pressure…

  159. Kokits - # February 11th, 2007 at 2:26 pm

    Nonreligousperson, why do you read the bible if your not religous? I think it’s cool o read it, I try to read it every morning.

    On topic:

    In DATA’s post (# 144), he says the “Scene selection UI”. What is that? Does that mean we will be able to choose the maps we play?

  160. Batesman - # February 11th, 2007 at 2:42 pm

    WELL NAW.

    Jkin m8. i dunno. i really hope so coz i dno

  161. Nonreligiousperson - # February 11th, 2007 at 3:10 pm

    KOKITS have you ever heard of a thing called sarcasm

  162. Kokits - # February 11th, 2007 at 3:14 pm

    No… what’s that?

  163. Dragonshadow - # February 11th, 2007 at 3:51 pm

    I’m gonna ’splode If I don’t get build 12 soon.

    It is next next week now.

  164. couchninja - # February 11th, 2007 at 4:05 pm

    i hope that this dosent end up like stick soldiers 3, cause im running out of stuff to do while waiting

  165. couchninja - # February 11th, 2007 at 4:08 pm

    in case you dont know what stick soldiers 3 is, its a really fun game thats been postponed since 2005

  166. Nonreligiousperson - # February 11th, 2007 at 4:12 pm

    Take that as a yes then

  167. Omni (Omnimmotus) - # February 11th, 2007 at 4:42 pm

    Ah, the wonders of human impatience. Patience is a virtue, my friends! It will come when it comes.

    I am happy to wait a short amount of time, every hour we don’t get it is an hour Data can make it cleaner, better, easier to work with, so that we can spend hours enjoying an amazing Cortex experience.

  168. KeroroAnti - # February 11th, 2007 at 5:03 pm

    I agree with Omni, though I really do want this to be out soon, I’m not insane about it like everyone else, I can wait. But I reeeaaallyyy want it to come out soon!

  169. LAWL - # February 11th, 2007 at 5:05 pm

    BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH PATIENCE IS FOR SISSIES!

    Seriously though. Let DATA work, they (or s/he, or them both… wait, who is DATA?) have lives of there own that need to be taken care o. School, a job, whatever. Yelling about how frikken awesome the next build is going to be won’t change that.

    OMG TEH NEKST BILD IZ GONNA B SO WIKID AWSUM LAWL I WUNT IT SHO BAD!

  170. couchninja - # February 11th, 2007 at 5:16 pm

    List of things to do while waiting for the next CC:
    take a walk, build a chair, punt a dog off a bridge, mug a retard, try out for american idol, go skiing, keep reading this list, go to youtube and watch stupid people, die of boredom, die of waiting, die of W.O.W., read calvin and hobbes, eat cheez-its, take a nap, buy a wii, throw your printer at someone, use unwanted cds as a pizza cutter,
    play the old CC, move to russia, go directly to jail do not pass go do not collect $200, watch kill bill, keep writing posts, or read this list again.

  171. Juggz - # February 11th, 2007 at 5:32 pm

    Don’t rush it just for us Data, makes sure its perfect XD

  172. Joemikkel - # February 11th, 2007 at 5:33 pm

    I think this is the most anticipated build ever. 167 posts! Last time it was 122. A few months before - 11 posts ;-)
    BTW, i can’t wait!

  173. Thanatos - # February 11th, 2007 at 6:10 pm

    Technicaly, Data has another 6 hours to finish the build and release it if he ment this week. So he is either going to post it on time, or he will be late, or he ment next week. And since it’s me saying this, very likely he ment next week. Noooooooo!!!!!

    O well, at least I have something to look foreward to between this and the releases of RedVsBlue.

  174. couchninja - # February 11th, 2007 at 6:32 pm

    6 hrs? dude what time zone are u in? hes got 9 here

  175. Omni (Omnimmotus) - # February 11th, 2007 at 7:16 pm

    You guys are too specific with the times. When he said sometime next week he probably meant if you follow this week to the end, that week after that is a GENERAL timeframe of the release.

    I always assume they’ll miss the deadline, and that any general ideas of a release are only if EVERYTHING goes perfect. I would consider the timeframe to be anything from six days ago to seven days from now in the future.

  176. Kokits - # February 11th, 2007 at 7:28 pm

    When he said next week, I’m sure he ment, at any time during that next week.

    Keep posting so we can get to 200 posts!

  177. biz - # February 11th, 2007 at 7:42 pm

    MUST…..HAVE……CORTEX…..
    (spam)
    data how close are you to releasing the next build and some e.t.a please)

  178. Munchkin - # February 11th, 2007 at 7:46 pm

    Yes e.t.a please i am dieing in front of my comp.

    I have been forced to play soldat during the time I have ben waiting.

  179. Omni (Omnimmotus) - # February 11th, 2007 at 7:51 pm

    Hmm… normally I don’t like spamming, but I approve of trying to get to 200 posts.

    Patience aside, I can’t wait for the next build. Oh man it’s gonna be sweet. (Actually, its more the functions added will allow for sweet mods.)

  180. dc443 - # February 11th, 2007 at 8:01 pm

    From that mini-video of the shield, it looks like the mouse cursor is the triple-red-pixel aimer thing. I’m not a big fan of that thingy though, its WAY too hard to see. I bet we just use the mouse cursor and there wont be a single problem, but how come those red dots were all jittery and moving in all directions? (closer and farther away from the actor)

  181. Dobodo4 - # February 11th, 2007 at 8:11 pm

    I hope it comes out tomorrow (Monday)

  182. Joemikkel - # February 11th, 2007 at 9:20 pm

    dc443, those were the aiming dots for the robot I think.
    Aw man, I already checked this page ten times today :-)

  183. Kokits - # February 11th, 2007 at 9:28 pm

    I hope the three dots won’t be used for mouse support. But if they are gonna be used, I hope DATA makes them larger and easier to see.

  184. Omni (Omnimmotus) - # February 11th, 2007 at 11:27 pm

    I would NOT like the standard mouse for aiming, it would get in the way. The dots ARE too hard to see though. It would be nice to be able to choose those, some more obvious dots, or a nice aiming reticle.

  185. BreenedandScrooned - # February 11th, 2007 at 11:47 pm

    I think an aiming reticle would be a good idea, or just making the dots bigger.

  186. Juggz - # February 11th, 2007 at 11:53 pm

    @DC443 The dots arent a solid .bmp their dynamic pixels created a specific distance from the actor. That why they jitter sometimes

  187. Data - # February 12th, 2007 at 1:11 am

    Sorry guys, I had to take care of family business for a day. ETA for the build is now tomorrow (mon) night.

  210. Kurrus - # February 12th, 2007 at 12:50 pm

    I dunno but there is something inside me telling me “Give Data time, you don’t want a rushed game” but there is another something that tells me “screw it, that bastard better release it soon or you’ll asplode” and the other one says “shut up” and the other says “shut up YOU” then the other says the same and then I say “GET THE FUCK OFF YOU BOTH” then they drive me mad. Yeah, mad. MAD. MADNESS. EVERYTHING MAD. NATURAL. YES, NATURAL. MAD.

  213. dc443 - # February 12th, 2007 at 1:36 pm

    is there going to be a way to control the jetpack direction using the keyboard+mouse?

    When i fiddled with my gamepad (a wired up Xbox1 controller) I noticed that at one point I was able to control the direction of the jetpack and aim independently. it’d be sweet if we could do this in mouse aim mode.

    Oh why the fsck am I kidding, gimme the build!!!! XD

    ;)

  229. makeshifter - # February 12th, 2007 at 5:16 pm

    im just bring this up again.

    not many people seem to realize that the only difference between mature rated and teen rated is language. i have seen games that do close ups of you ribbing th fleshy face off your opponent and the hero stood there with blood all over him as he (this game has AMAZING GRAPHICS) took the neck of the person and started eating it. it was rated teen because no one ever talked. it was all screams yells grunts. and do you know what i find funny. that every gene of every human is ingrained with war. war and the need to reproduce. every last movement of any thing is because of genes.
    its kinda like good and bad. every movement you make is either gonna lead to some one dead. or a new life.
    you say oh but what about free will! nothing but an illusion of us trying to think we have control. see the problem is the only way for us to survive is to live in that
    illusion. if we just started forgetting the illusion we would have dead people left and right. every one would say that there are just genes running him or her.

    but thats off topic. the true reason im talking is about control. well i have this to say. when you cant remember something its probably for a good reason. suppressed memories are there because you cant handle it. and your brain knows it! so thats ruling out scared for life.
    as for rebel well let them rebel and when there in prison let them think about what happened.

    i believe highly in social Darwinism. if you threaten other life you will go down and another weak link is taken from the chain.

    of course what do i know im twelve years old.

  230. TSRabbit - # February 12th, 2007 at 5:21 pm

    erm, thats interesting, and enlightening, but extremeley off topic.

  231. Munchkin - # February 12th, 2007 at 5:28 pm

    My dairy:

    Is it out yet…no

    Is it out yet…no

    ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH (deing here, Head explodes).

    No pressure I am just hanging on by a thread.

  232. makeshifter - # February 12th, 2007 at 5:37 pm

    ignore my last post i forgot to tell you im partially insane.
    im pretty sure i already had multi-personality disease thingy but its gotten worse with lack of sleep from waiting for cortex command

  233. makeshifter - # February 12th, 2007 at 5:38 pm

    TSRabbit yes yes it is

  234. TheLastBanana - # February 12th, 2007 at 5:45 pm

    makeshifter, you would be a good psychiatrist

  236. Tomaster - # February 12th, 2007 at 5:54 pm

    im both HD and OCD so i need this game NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

  237. Tomaster - # February 12th, 2007 at 5:55 pm

    hehe im made the words go off the screen(sry 4 the triple post)

  238. Robert V - # February 12th, 2007 at 6:26 pm

    Not every one of our genes is yearning for war, makeshifter.

    War is only necessary if two different groups of humans have different views on the same subject.

    Every human has either a conscious or sub-conscious will to be correct in every matter, (even if they may be wrong) so they take their opinion and turn it into anger, which will unadvertedly lead to war.

    Of course, it sometimes has to do with the will to survive, but not as much as it used to.

    Genes do not control our lives. Genes change the structure of the human body and how it grows, which in turn change our brain structure which changes *part* of how we think and everything otherwise.

    People do have free will, but our selections in life are affected by how our brain thinks about them, which are in part because of how are genes made our brain, but mostly because of other influences around us.

    You can’t tell me that genes control us because if they did, media wouldn’t have such a strong effect and we would still be primitive.

    But what do I know, I’m only fourteen.

    (PS: Can’t wait for the next build! xD)

  239. Munchkin - # February 12th, 2007 at 6:57 pm

    Why only humans? HEHEHEHEHEHEHE

  240. Kokits - # February 12th, 2007 at 7:29 pm

    Ever heard of intelligent design?

    That’s the whole concept of free will. God gives us the ability to follow his plan, or go on our own and do whatever we want. Follow him and we have a good life. It’s now in the genes, it’s in the mind.

    But what do I know, I’m only thirteen.

  241. Kokits - # February 12th, 2007 at 7:29 pm

    Sorry for the double post, I meant to say not, not now.

  242. Joemikkel - # February 12th, 2007 at 7:36 pm

    I check this site every thirty minutes. It’s becoming an obsession. After I post this, I’m gonna reload the front page
    in hopes of seeing the new build.

    I’m sick. :-D

  243. dc443 - # February 12th, 2007 at 7:37 pm

  244. switch - # February 12th, 2007 at 7:40 pm

    THe new build is gonna be awsome I’m soooo pumped

  247. couchninja - # February 12th, 2007 at 8:06 pm

    data is probably laughing his/her ass off right now

  248. LetterSix - # February 12th, 2007 at 8:15 pm

    Oh my GOD! This must be what it feels like to be addicted to heroine then having it all taken away and having to wait for it to be returned!!!

  249. Munchkin - # February 12th, 2007 at 8:17 pm

    Theoreticaly there could be other beings out there in space so ou can’t say just “humans” or “us”.

    And by the way I have trouble believing in god because if he does exist and is “all powerful” then he is not taking very good care of the planet he made, or he is laughing his head off.

  250. couchninja - # February 12th, 2007 at 8:26 pm

    … so data is an all powerful god whos taken away our heroine

  251. haxxr - # February 12th, 2007 at 8:27 pm

    UGH! I’m twitching with excitement!

  252. Kokits - # February 12th, 2007 at 8:37 pm

    Free will.

    Sin is the absence of God. People choose not to follow him and mess up the planet.

  253. Joemikkel - # February 12th, 2007 at 8:39 pm

    Wow, already @ 250. I think the amount of posts is exponentially proportional to the time we have to wait.

  254. Munchkin - # February 12th, 2007 at 8:42 pm

    Lol I agree with that but while we are there lets go to 300 lol.

    And yes Kokits I completly agree with that.

  255. LAWL - # February 12th, 2007 at 8:45 pm

    IS it just me, or is it strange to be talking about ethics and god in a game forum?

  256. BreenedandScrooned - # February 12th, 2007 at 8:47 pm

    Wow, this has gotten extremely off-topic. I’ll get it back on track: Cortex Command, Cortex Command, Cortex Command, Cortex Command, Cortex Command, Cortex Command, Cortex Command, Cortex Command, Cortex Command, Cortex Command, Cortex Command, Cortex Command. There we go.

  257. Joemikkel - # February 12th, 2007 at 8:51 pm

    I now realize that according to my theory, we will be having thousands of posts right before the release.Scary.
    Anyhoo, Kokits, it sounds like you’re tying global warming (”messing up the planet”) into the paradox of God . This is going to be “super - controversial” pretty soon, after we manage to get Bush, alternate energy sources, mercy killing, etc. into this discussion. :-D

  258. Some Bloke - # February 12th, 2007 at 8:54 pm

    Bush SUCKS!!!!!!!!!1111!!1!!1!11!one!!!111!!11

  259. Munchkin - # February 12th, 2007 at 9:25 pm

    Lol lets not go there because soon we will have angry people from all sides attacking everyone that insults their belief and after all this place is for talk about the game witch(?) is supposed to be released soon.

    Argh! :D

  260. Kokits - # February 12th, 2007 at 9:33 pm

    lol, First of all, I don’t believe that global warming is really as bad as people say it is. What I meant by “mess up the planet”, is wars and murder and stuff. This is sooooo gonna be a huge argumant soon so…

    Do you think that, because there can be 4 players at once, then online play will be easier? I know people have been saying that ‘net play would lag to much, but seriously, if the game can support 4 players and many enemies, can’t it do the same over the net?

  261. Joemikkel - # February 12th, 2007 at 9:35 pm

    The game can support it, but can your computer and your network?

  262. LAWL - # February 12th, 2007 at 9:40 pm

    Kokits, I’m not trying to change your beliefs or whatever, but go see “An Inconvenient Truth”

    And how old are you? (I’m not implying you are 12, I am wondering)

  263. Joemikkel - # February 12th, 2007 at 9:43 pm

    By saying that you are not implying that he’s 12, you are implying that you think that he might think that everyone thinks he’s 12.
    Go figure it out. ;-D

  264. LetterSix - # February 12th, 2007 at 9:50 pm

    I don’t think my system can take it anymore… I’ve been staring at my computer for two hours… Refreshing… Refreshing… Resfreshing……

  265. Jesus Freak - # February 12th, 2007 at 9:54 pm

    I just got on I was watching the show 24…. i was hoping it would be up by now

  266. Jesus Freak - # February 12th, 2007 at 9:57 pm

    AHA! I FIGURED OUT WHO KOKITS IS!!!!

    i’m sorry i just found out that i know that kid…
    he’s not under 12

  267. Jesus Freak - # February 12th, 2007 at 10:10 pm

    oh i see, i get on and everybody leaves…

    *sob* nobody likes me

  268. Joemikkel - # February 12th, 2007 at 10:16 pm

    same here, ‘cept I’m doing my homework at the same time. And now I’m impatient and sick of stoichiometry.

  269. gnat - # February 12th, 2007 at 10:42 pm

    @Kokits
    Do watch ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ before denying climate change. In fact, I recommend anyone who hasn’t given the movie a chance to go watch it ASAP.

    As for CC, cannot wait for the next build.. So much goodness to be had this release! :)

  270. Jesus Freak - # February 12th, 2007 at 10:43 pm

    i gave up on doing homework a long time ago.
    stupid geometry

  271. Data's Fiance - # February 12th, 2007 at 10:47 pm

    Aww. Look what you guys did. Poor data just crashed and burned. Had to sleep for like an hour to get the energy to go finish up this next build.

    but it’s all okay now! He’s back on the clock and working hard.

  272. Jesus Freak - # February 12th, 2007 at 10:49 pm

    ‘An Inconventint truth’ is a God-aweful movie anyway so the only way i’m going to watch the rest of the movie (as opposed to 2 minutes) is if i’m forced to which i probably will by some tree-hugger teacher or professor later on.
    But anyway, I don’t deny climate change, but i agree with kokits in that it’s not all that bad.
    oil finally went down to below $50 a barrel because there was not as much use for it in heaters. i like the planet and it freakin amazing but global warming could be a better thing than it’s made out to be

  273. makeshifter - # February 12th, 2007 at 10:51 pm

    this is going off topic also to understand my thinking you have to have a voice in your head named makeshifter who is philosophic. and have and interest in psychology.

    my voice is not a killer or anything like that he simply has the goal to understand life. so he believes that life is made of every one. there for in order to have a basic idea of the point in life. you have to have the basic thinking of every one thus leading to creating more personalitys in a search to think in a million different ways.

    plus you also might have to read my summery on the human brain which i have not placed any where. so in any case i really don’t want to go into discussion about this so can we leave it here. and go back to the game.

    and i never claimed that any thing i said was true. it was simply my idea on it so i believe it isn’t that how basic knowledge works. theres an opinion that you trust enough to act on it. so you know it as basic knowledge now no more philosaphy makeshifter has been telling me what to type and hes getting annoying

  274. Jesus Freak - # February 12th, 2007 at 10:56 pm

    thank you for that random, but philosophical, statement

  275. makeshifter - # February 12th, 2007 at 10:56 pm

    and now to end this formally SHUT UP I’VE HAD ENOUGH I NEED SLEEP NO MORE PHILOSOPHY GO CORTEX COMMAND

  276. Jesus Freak - # February 12th, 2007 at 10:58 pm

    thank you great idea i’m going to sleep as well good night

  277. Joemikkel - # February 12th, 2007 at 11:06 pm

    Poor Data. We’re sorry. But then again, how can a huge mob of starving, rabid chipmunks not be excited about a gigantic peanut.
    Enjoy the metaphor. :-D

  278. LetterSix - # February 12th, 2007 at 11:11 pm

    *Groan* If I don’t get my fix soon I’m going to (insert painful experience here)…

  279. switch - # February 12th, 2007 at 11:17 pm

    I’m doing stoichemotry as well. I haate it. I think that it is cool that people are having relgious/philosophical conversations on a game forum. Although I can see how it may annoy some people. If the new build doesn’t come out soon I think I might just meet god in a few moments. lol. Sorry about the stress Data but I guess it comes from your mini Celebirty status. Anyway new build is gonna be awsome!!!!

  280. Dobodo4 - # February 13th, 2007 at 1:30 am

    I need CORTEX!!!!

    i have and i just woke up lol its tuesday morning but i dont care how long u take just do it your own way
    Yes, I’m one of them, and I did run round the house with excitment last night when I saw your comment, but I can wait as long as you want me to. If this takes a year (which it won’t, coz Data is a superhuman)
    I will wait. Anyways, BYE BYE!!!!

  284. Juggz - # February 13th, 2007 at 2:59 am

    I was asleep, now its 6pm tuesday… cant wait Data.

    DONT RUSH IT THOUGH, if it takes an extra week or two it takes an extra week or two.

  285. blipflip - # February 13th, 2007 at 3:00 am

    Tomorrow?

    Oh my god, that’s today :P

    And I don’t care what your clock says, its 9 in he morning where I am :)

    EDIT: Damn, I missed the philosophical / climate change argument. For Data’s sake I will not start it again.

  286. Lukex16 - # February 13th, 2007 at 3:08 am

    Its 9:08 in the morning, i can taste the new build!!!

  288. Batesman - # February 13th, 2007 at 3:31 am

    I’ll Be Back Tonight. I’m not gonna check every hour as I usually do I’m gonna let the excitement build.
    I think you lot should do the same, it gets ya reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeal EXCITED!!!!

    Anyways, I’m gonna play Oblivion. . . .

  289. Batesman - # February 13th, 2007 at 3:32 am

    Sorry For The Double Pot, but this is waaaaay better than oblivion. I just feel like it will pass the time.

  290. TSRabbit - # February 13th, 2007 at 3:35 am

    Hey Jesus freak! how can global warming not be bad?
    The amount of water stored in the ice caps can rise sea levels by something like 50ft or higher if there is a rise by about 4 degrees, and that means almost all of our planet’s coastline will be submerged. What’s more, the amount of fresh water in the icecaps would stop the north Atlantic currents (it relies on a perfect balance of salt-fresh water). This means that the areas around the northern hemisphere would lose their heat, and become somewhat like norway.

    So basically, if your sitting in the northern hemisphere, you’re not going to get fucked, you’re gonna get DOUBLE fucked. Which kinda shows that You’re wrong Jesus freak.
    Dont forget this isn’t as bad as it might be.

    Back onto Cortex command, ive been pretty much been staring at your site every hour and checking my email for that subscription… :( you liar data!

  291. KamikazeDuck - # February 13th, 2007 at 3:53 am

    Great additions you’ve got coming Data!

    You’ve got a lot of fans now, you may have to go into public in disguise.

  292. anonymous - # February 13th, 2007 at 3:57 am

    Data has only himself to blame for this mass of people stalking the site, you can’t take an already brilliant game with the biggest and most creative modding community I have ever seen and then promise massive improvements without people getting a bit overexcited

  293. blipflip - # February 13th, 2007 at 4:29 am

    Yeah Data your fault for making a great game :P

  294. Juggz - # February 13th, 2007 at 4:56 am

    Damn idiot, creating the best game ever.

    YOU FOOL!!!!

  295. Demetrius - # February 13th, 2007 at 5:09 am

    Juggz is right, you’re going to take over the world with this game!

  296. UndeadHawk - # February 13th, 2007 at 6:24 am

    Run for president, you will win ;).

    Anyways, it was quite a coincidence that i watched “An Inconvinient Truth” at my sience class today ^^. It made me realize how grave the global heating problems are.

    If we dont do anything about it we may experience the beginneing of the apocalypse, lol.

    I was hoping for it to be released now, though i am not like “OMFGZZAAAAH.. NEED…. BUILD…”. Im more like “ah well, hope its out tomorrow”. I think it would be better if Data sleeped on the nights and worked on the days.

    Soon 300th post!!!
