Re: I'm going down again, and I'm prepared with lots of stuff...

We have to keep this stuff. Since Overload didn't make much money, I highly doubt any other 6DOF games will ever be made. Sadly , I don't have much time to play anymore so I concentrate my time in 1-2 games and Descent/Overload isn't in it anymore. I spent 15 years playing this from 94-2010 ish and ...

Re: Volition shuts down

Well, Volition was split from Parallax weren't they, so they really didn't make Descent. But I believe some of the staff worked for them.

Re: What the world has come to...

The people believing the insane false stuff usually deflect any try on proving their theories. They deflect by saying you prove it etc. Same when you ask religious people to prove God exists. They can't and they wither say, it's in the Bible or you prove he doesn't exist.
