      EV3? What When Why What Who How? Is it going to be good. has anyone heard anything specific? Ok Maybe I'm a little over excited... Oh well. So why would an honest opinion question be squelched by the powers? I guess because it leads to anti-override talk and since the establishment runs the board they don't want their product dissed... Maybe that is it.

      16 bit graphics lots of movies, and I don't have a clue when its going to be out. I doubt that they have even started on it yet.

      Hey everyone! I just thought of a GREAT idea!!!

      What if andrew (I think he's the president of the company who makes these game, if you didn't know) made EV3 32-bit graphics, three dimensional, (requiring Open GL, of course) and multi-player!

      This is probably never been brought up... I mean, Multi-player EV? Iot would be cool though. How about this. I give some guy ideas for MPEV, and he codes the whole thing from scratch, or maybee multi-player could be a plug i guess... Anyway, I can find some guy to code for free 24 hours a day, what do you guys think???

      Well, that could work, except that 32 bit graphics, 3D enviroment ect. would cut out all 68k macs, and most lower to mid range 601-603 power macs. That would effectively cut out 1/4-1/3 of Ambrosia's market. That would not only take more man power or time than Ambrosia currently has to work on a project like that, but would also be an exteamly bad marketing desission(sp).

      Multiplayer EV has been suggested in the past, but the project has proved to be too daunting for Ambrosia or any other group of programmers, for that matter, to undertake. It's simply too large of a game for multiplayer...I mean, who would want to run around 200 systems trying to find their enemy?

      I don;t think you uinderstand the concept of sarcasm. He was PRETENDING to be a newbie.

      Oh, I'm sorry. Did that break your concentration?
      I didn't mean to do that.
      Please, continue.
      I believe you were saying something about "best intentions."

      And I don't think you understand the point that sarcasm can't be expressed clearly by WRITING. Secondly, I don't know, but you're definitely a "newbie" compared to me.

      Yes, In case you didn't notice, I was being very sarcastic.

      That paragraph contained somthing every newb brought up about MPEV.

      I especially that "Andrew is the president I think, In case you guyz didn't know..."

      I forgot which newb said that, but I'm sure He didn't stay 😉
