Thanks! That really sucks yours didn't pan out.. I've never really had a group of more than 4, I bet 9 would have been a great time.

We transitioned to boardgame parties. Works much better as you can't do those online.

We tried Tabletop Simulator; it works, but it's not nearly as good as in-person boardgames.

No way!! Really? That is so cool. Man, Secret Weapons and Vietnam were amongst our favorites. We never played vanilla or Road to Rome. Vietnam was really, really good. I actually installed everything from my original discs I got freshman year of college! You worked on a huge part of my college experience, and some really great memories with my brother. I made friends in my dorm I still have to this day. Thank you.

Desert Combat was so good man. So much time spent as a kid trying to master flying helicopters in it.

It's crazy that this mod is kind of the foundation of the entire modern Battlefield landscape seeing as its devs got hired by DICE for Battlefield 2.

I love DC. I was the only one of my buddies that could fly the helicopters well.

We sure did. I'll be honest, it didn't quite hit the same as it did 20 years ago. Still way better than online, though.

I'll check that out, thanks!

Now that brings back memories of having to lug a big ass CRT back in the day.

It's an E-Yooso Z-19, with Glorious Panda switches, and double shot pbt caps, the brand escapes me.

The top half of the switch housing I replaced with clear ones I had from some other switches when I lubricated them. The original ones didn't let a lot of the RGB through. Not that I ever really use it, but it better work if I do. I found the caps and the keyboard at a bin store, $12 each! Fantastic luck, as they are both just my style.

Edit: How could I forget about the damping o-rings from Captain O-Ring! They're the perfect thickness.

I'd love to let you, but I keep my XP machine gapped from the internet. You in the greater Detroit area? Lol

You go and spend like, $50 to spend 20 minutes going full-on Office Space on some old breakable stuff. Glassware, old electronics, etc. I'm not a fan of the concept, myself.

I was at an escape room, and the facility also had a rage room. I saw this beast on a hand truck, getting ready to head to its demise. And I basically pestered the guy behind the counter to go ask the rage room employees if I could buy it. He finally did, and they said I could just have it. I think my wife was in shock when she saw me carrying the behemoth to the car. She was probably expecting a mid tower like my other computers and not this 55 lb, 18 year old space heater.

Note: The E310 has an E510 mobo. The E310 didn't have PCI-E.

It was a lot of fun. We really wanted to play some CoD United Offensive, but I just could not get that to install on Lutris. There must be a trick to it. My long-term goal is to get XP running on The Beast, but until then this is what I've got.

I also could not get Mod Manager 5 for Battlezone II to run properly in Lutris, either.
