Pounder, go here.

I'm downloading it now, why this file is only 22mb completely eludes me.

FUCKING HAWT! Shep, I owe you a month of keeping your nuts completely drained!

Anyways, I stopped playing a year ago when the second disk's FMV briefing videos didn't work; now I can play through the whole thing :)

It is finally time to re-begin The Project. *nods*

I still actually have the game, I just can't get it to work on XP. Which is a shame. Heavy Cannon volleys make the sweetest of sounds.

Sadly, I think this is the project that recently emailed me about merging with another project (due to lack of developers) about third-person vehicle driving or something. I hope not: the high-res modes really needed some UI scaling work.

And it's only 22mb because a) all the textures suck assballs and b) there are no videos. :)

Yeah, I checked the site. That's what I get for never going to the website, I guess. :)

It's kind of sad the circumlocutions they go through about the cutscenes, though: instead of simply building in video playing support (and letting people use their cutscenes after converting to whatever open format they implement) they feel that they have to remake them as stills or something. Apparently even allowing people to play files you aren't distributing is copyright infringement... somehow. :D
