2 Vermeulen,
Gotcha. How did that idea of a kiosk come across? And why GameStop?
Was it hard to negotiate with GameStop?

The advertisement is for a game development school. A marketing company represented them came to me with this idea, and I helped them set it up.

It's a pretty good deal, looking at the scores you have a good chance of winning if your a experienced player.

Damn, wish there was one closer to me...otherwise that's an easy hundred bucks I could pick up. :P

EDIT: Well, I'll be in San Jose next couple days for Thanksgiving with the in-laws...so I'm going to try getting over to the GS location there. A hundred buck gift cert for a retail game shop...wonder if they'll just let me have the gift cert on the spot so I can buy Crysis. :D

This info deserves inclusion on the Nexuiz Wikipedia page. I found Nexuiz on one of the FPS pages there and I'm probably not the only nerd who turns to Wikipedia so regularly. :)

Resequencing...

[I wonder if any measures have been made to restrict usage of the console]

Well worth a trip on the commuter rail, I'd say. Where exactly is Boston's GameStop, though? I generally visit the Berklee area or the MFA when I'm up and I haven't seen a GS anywhere.

Hehe, actually this is a nice idea for a mod to be included in the Nexuiz campaign... "You have 4 bots and 2 minutes, deal at leats 3000 units of damage", and with frags counter showing the damage dealt instead...

Maybe later :)
1. Open Notepad
2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
3. Save
4. Open the file in Notepad again

You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.
