<D_Nukem> Hank: It's all Apogee, just that the 3D games are shipped under the name 
  3D Realms.
<Hank_Hill> Apogee just seems too old
<Hank_Hill> 3D Realms seems new and fresh with ideas
<Hank_Hill> It's kinda like Saturn and GM

   said in Duke Nukem II.
<MaxMouse> Hey Joe
<Hank_Hill> The voice of Duke Nukem is here???
<D_Nukem> "I'm back!"
<Dopefish> In Duke Nukem 3D, he was done by John St. John.
<Viacom> what did he say?
<Hank_Hill> Oh
<D_Nukem> Joe said "I'm back!" in Duke Nukem 2.
<Dopefish> I s'pose you could say I was the original voice of Duke Nukem.  :)   
   I'm also the voice of Dopefish.

<Ogopogo> (besides the ones mentioned on the 3drealms page)

<Dopefish> That's all the publically available information.

<Ogopogo> one thing:
<MaxMouse> Joe:How's Eric's SW map going?
<Viacom> so is 3drealsm a big building?

<Hank_Hill> I liked 3D Realms yellow and blue one
<Viacom> 30 storyies high?
<Ogopogo> Joe: I read that it requires a Pentium, but I have a 486... will it 
   still run??
<Dopefish> Max-> Pretty good, I think.  We just today updated the SW Development 
   page.
<x_CyraX_x> hey I never knew about shadowwarrior.com
<Viacom> or is it in someones basement?
<x_CyraX_x> cool
<Dopefish> Ogo-> I will *RUN* on a 486, but you won't like it.
<Ogopogo> ohhhhh
<Dopefish> Apogee/3D REalms is in an office building in Garland.  We take up 1/4 
   of the entire building.
<D_Nukem> Joe: Kinda like Quake running on a 486?
<Ogopogo> oh well
<MaxMouse> BRB
<Dopefish> Kinda, I guess.
<Ogopogo> congrats on Rally, though... awesome game
<Hank_Hill> Cyrax, That's run by GT Interactive...Not 3D Realms
<x_CyraX_x> neat
<Dopefish> Ogo-> Glad you liked it.  We're doing some more games with the same 
   guys.
<Viacom> GT's stock iisnt doing good
<Hank_Hill> Not even with 3D Realms's games and id Software's?
<D_Nukem> Ohh, this weeks SW update has a new screenshot!
<Dopefish> BRB
<Ironman> My .02 worth on the new web site:    Far better than ever! More 
   professional, not too many "fancy" things to slow the loading ot it! 
   Basically, a job well done. I bet it wasn't ready until it was done huh Joe?
<Duke666> i like to kill the chicks in Duke
<Hank_Hill> They distribute Duke Nukem 3D and Quake...I think
<Duke666> hehe
<Duke666> :P
<Ogopogo> Duke666: yeah... try kickin' 'em in the ass!!!
*** ^mErCuRy^ (mEcUrY@199.190.99.40) has joined #duke3d
<Ogopogo> Joe: problem with your LiveShot camera...
<x_CyraX_x> D: REALLY? COOL
<Dopefish> Iron-> :)  Actually, we're thinking of recording a sound file called 
   "When it's done", and have it play that.
<Ogopogo> Joe: only half the picture comes in!!
<Duke666> hehe!
<Dopefish> Ogo-> I know that.  I'm using that computer to make a CD-ROM while I'm 
   IRC.
<Duke666> yeah!
<Duke666> the bars are always cool
<Ogopogo> Duke: huh?
<Ogopogo> ph
<Ogopogo> oh
<Ogopogo> the bars
<Hank_Hill> Joe, I have a really COOL question!
<Viacom> so you get payed to go on irc all day?
<x_CyraX_x> Joe S.: Quick Question: Will You do what you did with Duke on Jan 
   29th 96, Upload the shareware and six months later the reg comes out?
<Ogopogo> Joe: is there any way to possibly create DukeBots for v1.3D of Duke? 
   Maybe a .CON file?
<x_CyraX_x> Wumpus does
<Dopefish> Cyrax-> It wasn't quite 6 months, but that's essentially correct.
<Dopefish> Ogo-> No.  Dukebots are hardcoded in v1.4/v1.5 code.  You can't .con 
   file them.
<Hank_Hill> Joe, Using WHICH computer?  The Internet server???
<x_CyraX_x> Well estimating ;)
<D_Nukem> Joe...the morning of the 29th, how about uploading lameduke.zip for the 
  1 year aniversery? ;)
<Ogopogo> crap
<x_CyraX_x> if I said what it felt like I'd say 6 years ;)
<Dopefish> I have three computers in my office.  One does nothing else other than 
   do the Live Shot camera stuff....
<Hank_Hill> Joe, Using WHICH computer?  The Internet server???
<Ogopogo> my friend's got Plut Pak and he tells me its great fun
<Viacom> three!
<Dopefish> However, when I have to make a CD, the camera comes down, since I need 
   that computer.
<Dopefish> Our web site is *NOT* at our HQ.  It's somewhere else.
<Dopefish> D_Nukem: Interesting idea.  I'll mention it to george.
<D_Nukem> Hmm...tomorrow is the 29th
<Hank_Hill> What's LAMEDUKE.ZIP???
<Duke666> i am lagged really BAD! 
<Ironman> Someone place the new "Web Sites for Dummies" right in front of the 
   live-camera shot!   :)

<x_CyraX_x> It's so cool that all these 3DRealms guyz come on to type to us...
<Ogopogo> yeah what's lameduke.zip?
*** JWolf (~CatsWolf@dialup137.apci.net) has joined #duke3d
<Duke666> Be back later on.
*** WeedWac (~email@Cust51.Max5.Houston2.TX.MS.UU.NET) has joined #Duke3d
<Viacom> duke nukem 1
<Ironman> lameduke.zip is a 1.3 meg file of Duke 3 years ago
*** WeedWac (~email@Cust51.Max5.Houston2.TX.MS.UU.NET) has left #Duke3d
<D_Nukem> "...dodging constant sync errors" - SW update   This sounds like Duke 
  Nukem 3D...I hope SW multiplay runs smoother than Duke3D's.
<Dopefish> The Live Shot Camera is currently down while I make a CD.   The camera 
   is actually in Tech Support, which is on the other side of the office.
<Hank_Hill> Does George have a sense of humor like he puts in the games he makes? 
    Like does he play funny pranks and fool around sometimes?
*** Duke666 has quit IRC (Malicious Hackers Alince  DEF CON, inc.)
<Hank_Hill> Is he not TOTALLY serious when he doesn't have to be in other words?
<Viacom> well Dopefish wont knock on his door and run away..
<Dopefish> Hank-> Sometimes.  He's usally EXTREMELY busy.
<Hank_Hill> Duke Nukem 3D, 3 years ago you mean?
<Viacom> no
<Dopefish> Someone asked me earlier if I get paid to hang out in IRC.  I get paid 
   to hang out "on the net".  :)
<Viacom> duke nukem 1
<Ogopogo> duke1?
<x_CyraX_x> When George is on IRC he rarely has any humour.. ;)
<Ironman> Hank: Yes, a file of what Duke looked like 3 years ago
<Ogopogo> oh
<Viacom> what!
<MaxMouse> Old duke beta and alpha shots
<Dopefish> D_Nukem: It's not even beta code.  :)
<Viacom> I asked that
<Viacom> oh thats a hrad job!
<Ogopogo> guys, problem with Duke...
<Hank_Hill> Joe, Why in the hell does the Web site always say 88888888 visitors 
   have come to the site everyday?
<Dopefish> Hank-> You're using Netscape Navigator 4, aren't you?
<x_CyraX_x> Hank: Cause your always the 88888888888 visitor ;)
<Ogopogo> how come when I connect with my friend in Duke for a DM, it screws? I 
   start off "lying" on the ground and my friend gets a "6 bytes too many" msg 
   what is this?
<Hank_Hill> Oh
<D_Nukem> Joe: Any chance of releasing the Shadow Warrior Font?
<Ironman> CyraX: bawhahahahah
<Dopefish> Hank-> It's a bug in Netscape Navigator 4.  If you want to see the 
   real number, right click on that, and pick "View Image".
<Viacom> well dopefish better answer that becuase hes getting payed for tech 
   support
<Dopefish> It works fine with NN3 or MSIE3.
<Ironman> Ogopogo: because one of you has different .CON files
<Hank_Hill> What is code?  I always here so much about it but don't know what it 
   is!
<Ogopogo> Ironman:
<Ogopogo> Ironman: nope
<Ironman> Ogopogo: or one of you has a modified .MAP file
<Ogopogo> it would screw up in teh game
<x_CyraX_x> I'm a funny guy anin't i?
<Hank_Hill> You pressed the Windows Key while in Duke?
<Hank_Hill> :)
-> -Dopefish- °¨¨°º©[Räpturè]©º°¨¨° You are now added to my remotes to be an op 
   on all channels I have ops on!
* Added Dopefish (*!*apogee@*.computek.net) to user list
*** D_Nukem sets mode: +o Dopefish
<Dopefish> D_Nukem: If we do something like that, it probably won't be till the 
   game's done.  We changed the Duke font three times in the last two weeks of 
   the development.
<MaxMouse> somebody ping me please.
<Ogopogo> Iron: we aren't playing with any modified stuff
<Hank_Hill> Was that the problem?
<Ogopogo> we don't play through Win95
<Ironman> CyraX: Yup, answer Ogopogo then! ;)
<Hank_Hill> Yes
<Viacom> Rdrr is oout of commision
<Hank_Hill> Joe, Yes

<Hank_Hill> Oh, I see
<Hank_Hill> Ok
<Ogopogo> Iron: yeah when I connect with my otehr buddies it works fine and same 
   with him
<Hank_Hill> COOL
<Ogopogo> before it worked but now it doesn't
<x_CyraX_x> hahahah! I just read about Steve Cole.
<x_CyraX_x> He had auto aiming when everyone else didn't
<Hank_Hill> Will Shadow Warrior still have that ANNOYING error that happens 
   whenever you hit the Windows 95 Key and you can't restore it?
<x_CyraX_x> I'd figure Randy would be at the top
<Hank_Hill> I do
<x_CyraX_x> I've played Randy lots of times before He worked for 3Drealms, he's 
   damn good!
<Ogopogo> there's a fix for the Win95 key thing
<Ironman> Ogopogo: try the DCC chat again! Sorry
<Ogopogo> ok
<Hank_Hill> Joe, Will Shadow Warrior still have that ANNOYING error that happens 
   whenever you hit the Windows 95 Key and you can't restore it?
<Ogopogo> there's a fix for that
<Ogopogo> Iron: well....?
<Ironman> That is a windows problem
<x_CyraX_x> Joe: How many levels will be in the shareware?
<MaxMouse> Joe:Do you what enigine DN3D2 will use? 
<Ironman> Ogopogo: I answered the chat, I have the window there!
