  1. @doctorwhom #BZFlag?

    bzflag.org/

    It's been around a long time. The most active server is "PlanetMoFo" (though Lou Man's maps are consistently awesome). Join MoFo and say "Who wants to play on $foomap?" and everyone will migrate for a few hours.

    MoFo is the motherfucking map. You learn to play there by getting completely murdered, repeatedly.

    I think I slaughtered your kids a few times. My bad.

  2. Just a reminder. The next event is happening tomorrow! We'll start at 1200UTC but feel free to drop any time. It lasts all day!

    See onfoss.org/news/2024/11/30/Nex for more info.

  3. Our next event is happening on 7 December. Join us for a full day of games! Hosted by @sndein this time.

    We'll be playing some classics, namely: , , , , , , but we also have a newcomer which is Nazi Zombies: Portable.

    See the announcement for more info!

  10. @killick I've played #BZFlag for like fifteen years. Handle = TallElfin

    If there's players on a LouMan's map I'll definitely be there, otherwise it's Planet MoFo.

    Sadly, there is a library problem with (K)Ubuntu 22.04 and it just crashes and I haven't installed from source yet. I was being lazy and waiting for it to get fixed in 24.04.

    Tons of fun. And I like being able to jump in on a game for a little while and not some slogged campaign where everyone has to organize or whatnot.

  13. I haven't tried #BZFlag with my new laptop of network.

    The hell Elf?

  14. Old SciFi nerds might recognize the "Last Star Fighter" under the YouTube logo I desperately tried and failed to frame out.

    That's what actually caught my attention.

    * Fun fact, I play #BZflag and "Death Blossom" is a Flag paying homage that does just this. [Another is "Flux Capacitor", another post.]

  15. My #introduction to #Linux.

    I was blown away by the #Battlezone clone #bz on cool #SiliconGraphics machines (with HUGE monitors) at university. That was my first indication that there was a world out there beyond #DOS and #Windows.

    One day, I bought #Caldera #OpenLinux 2.2 from #FutureShop. And I could play #BZFlag! It was amazing - but something didn't work. Maybe sound? I forget.

    Years later, I tried #Mandrake 9.0. I used it solidly until I discovered #Ubuntu. The rest is history.
