Few other Plastic Chickens exist.

Though I should note that the Plastic Chicken XBox Live gamertag was taken when I tried to make it, so I used P1astic Chicken instead. :)

So I'm not the only Plastic Chicken. Darn.

Contrary to popular opinion, it does not use the Quake engine.
Dude we all know that Lugaru is running off of the old Pong engine :wink:

Because we all know that they are both very very similar. :P

Liar!!! Lugaru is based on an engine of Tetris, developed by A. Pajitnov! It's a Russian project! :lol:

BTW, it's funny that people seeing a shareware game with nice graphics are recalling Q in the first place.

( i hate to be rude but) you must be a man of many years. I think most of the people around here are either teens or in their early 20s. i have NO idea how old David is, though im guessing his early-mid 20s because he talks about school.

Anyways, engines are engines, if he could steal the engine from Doom3 and then make it run faster (friggin a, it lags at times on my dp 2ghz G5 with 2 gigs of ram and the radeon 9800 XT) Now that would be one sweet deal. but for me, i dont really care what engine he uses, just as long as it's playable. Some of the games out there have great graphics, but either the people online are snobs (eg. Halo) or have worse graphics and fantastic online communities (eg. UT2004). As long as the people are nice with it, then it will make it more enjoyable. That and less finger crunching on the shift key (ouch).

1. David is turning 19 this year as stated in the 'Member Photo' thread.
2. I agree, I'd like a better community with nicer people than better graphics with meaner people

Halo has better graphics than UT2k4? Naw.... surely not.
However, Halo is certainly the king of load times :)

Zip, I think it's the basic idea of things than having better graphics...I had Halo on my computer...but when the internet stopped working, I got rid of it...I borrowed it from a friend. It loaded pretty fast and ran perfectly compared to UT2k4 which was ultra slow with vehicles and took like 15 minutes to load

Halo actually is incredibly under-optimized for mac, the load times are good but you have to turn absolutely EVERYTHING down in order to have decent gameplay.

UT 2004 is not designed for computers under 900mhz. It was design for computers that were 1.25ghz to 2ghz. If you had a 1.25ghz or 1.40 you can run it well in deathmatch, even in the demo the loading times only take less then 1 minute.

Yeah, I didn't notice how old it was until after I posted. I wasn't paying attention. I think I said aloud "Oh man, that was lame", referring to myself.

I'll try to pay more attention.
