Natural-Selection 2 alpha came out tonight, lots of things not done yet but cool to see. It will be fun when it's done. I think it may be time to upgrade my computer but it will be a while till I can save up for it.

I'm trying to post more but I say this all the time but just need to do it.

NS2 Alpha date set

Hello NS(2)Players!

This has been a big week for us.

We set the date for the NS2 Alpha for Monday, July 26th. If you've pre-ordered the Special Edition already, THANK YOU. Otherwise, if you want to be playing on Day 1, you'll need to order it before then:

NOTE: After July 26th, we are discontinuing the Special Edition and black marine armor and will be increasing the price on the Standard Edition. We want to make sure our early adopters retain this distinction.

We also released some new screenshots and information about what to expect in the alpha:

Some of you played NS on Halloween night of 2002 and can remember how many changes the game went through in the weeks following. Day 1 of the NS2 Alpha will probably be a wild ride as well and we're looking forward to getting your feedback and improving it quickly. NS had over 20 versions over many years and we expect to support NS2 for years as well.

As many of you know, we've been working hard for many years to get to this point and we hope you join us. We wouldn't be here without your support - nor would we want to be.

Nightly review 7/17/10

So I'm going to try to do a daily review of things I thought were interesting each night before I good to sleep.
To start out today were are camping, so not too much in the way of technical stuff that I will talk about went on. But while using my nexus one as a wifi hot spot I did some of my college school work out here camping and was so nice to have that available. My eyefi sd card was using it to upload somega pics too.
So this is a start when I get home and do this other will be more interesting. See you soon.

Old pic of a computer screen

crap screenHere is a picture from my online classes in a lesson about listening. In the pic the old guy is telling the young guy something. Here is what I think they were saying...

"Hay Bob do you like my tie that matches my spenders?"

"You know Frank it looks old and lame like you"

"Bob what looks lame is the crappy 10 inch screen you got going on here, I mean wow it can only do green colors. O and your black tie sucks."

"At least its not an iPad and I can do more then what someone else things I can do on it Frank."

"Good point get back to work Bob."

Ya I added in some stuff at the end there as I was writing this :D

No wonder he doesn't like the new law...

New Immigrant

A Russian arrives in New York City as a new immigrant to the United States. He stops the first person he sees walking down the street and says, "Thank you Mr. American for letting me into this country, giving me housing, food stamps, free medical care, and a free education!"

The passerby says, "You are mistaken, I am a Mexican."

The man goes on and encounters another passerby. "Thank you for having such a beautiful country here in America." The person says, "I not American, I Vietnamese."

The new arrival walks farther, and the next person he sees he stops, shakes his hand, and says, "Thank you for wonderful America !" That person puts up his hand and says, "I am from Middle East ..I am not American."

He finally sees a nice lady and asks, "Are you an American?" She says, "No, I am from Africa .." Puzzled, he asks her, "Where are all the Americans?" The African lady checks her watch and says, "Probably at work."

Just a Tap on the Shoulder

A passenger in a taxi leaned over to ask  the driver a question and
gently tapped him on the shoulder  to get his attention.

The driver screamed, lost  control of the cab, nearly hit a bus, drove
up over the curb and stopped just inches from a large plate glass
window.

For a few moments everything was silent in the  cab.
Then, the still shaking driver said, 'Are you OK?
I'm so sorry, but you scared the daylights out of me.

The badly shaken passenger apologized to the  driver
and said he didn't realize that a mere tap on  the
shoulder would startle the driver so badly.

The driver replied, 'No, no, I'm the one who is sorry, it's  entirely
my fault. Today is my very first day driving a cab...
....
I've been driving a hearse for the past  25  years.

NS2 Engine Test released!

Hello everyone!

Today is a big milestone for Unknown Worlds: we've just released the NS2 "Engine Test" to everyone that has pre-ordered the game. This is the first version of the game and game engine that will allow you to run around on a couple small maps and fire the rifle at animated dummy targets.

This will help us test our technology to make sure we get it running smoothly on a wide variety of computers. Grab it now! (http://www.naturalselection2.com/download)

The first time you run it, you'll need to enter your NS2 game key (sent after ordering the game). If you've lost your game key you can retrieve it here (http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/retrieve).

This release will also allow you to load up any map you build and run around it. Finally, enterprising mod-makers will also be able to start hacking around with the game script code that comes with it, although this is not meant as an official mod release.

We're looking forward to your feedback (http://tinyurl.com/ns2feedback) and we hope you enjoy this firstlook at the cool technology behind the game!

-The NS2 Team
