Re: [Audyssey] big changes coming to core exiles.
Hi dark, Well I guess the biggest change to non settlement owners is that we can start up our own businesses and have majour affects on the economic system. Also with the introduction of pm ships, that will cause some real events to happen with supply and demand. Coops is certainly doing his best to make this game purely player driven. -Original Message- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of dark Sent: 23 December 2011 18:25 To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] big changes coming to core exiles.

Hi all, For the ce players on this list and for anybody who is interested I just read this on the ce fb page: Have you signed up for the newsletter yet? No? Well take a look at the information below so you know what you missed out on. It’s been a long time in the making, in fact 100′s of hours of coding and beta testing have gone into Level Six Settlements and all that it will soon open up. We’ re not quiet there yet, but we are close enough that the real testing has began and to start converting rumors into facts. Level Six Settlements Taking your settlement from Level 5 to Level 6 is the ultimate upgrade for a settlement owner. It allows you to start helping to shape the game and provide resources and services your fellow captains will be clamoring to use. Level Six is not a cheap path, and only those that are dedicated and have the resolve to do so will make it work. Level 6 six will allow your settlement to choose a ‘spec’, these come with three types of content. Commercial / Industrial Center, Ship Crafting and Starbase Crafting. Each spec will require a large quantity of time and money to get to grips with and don’t expect to make back your investment any time soon, but you will find your services in great demand, and after all you can set your own prices so who knows! Level Six will also allow for bigger and better buildings, mores choice and more options for stores and support industries. Player Made Ships We will be introducing a new element to Core-Exiles at the same time Level Six is released, that being ‘Corporations’. Your own space based enterprise. Build and run your own corporation from a single ship to an entire fleet with offices spanning the known Galaxies. But, everything hinges around your fellow Settlement owners manufacturing you the ships you will so desperately need! Player Made Starbases Settlements choosing this path for their spec will be able to manufacture the massive Hubs required for player Starbase deployment. Your own Starbase on the map! A huge responsibility and with it a gargantuan list of requirements and costs! But, it all relies on your fellow Level Six settlement owners! Commercial Industrial It’s not difficult to imagine that with the massive requirements there are going to be a huge demand for modules, components, resources and such like. Commercial spec’d settlements will play a vital role in fulfilling these requirements. It’s not going to be cheap and it’s not going to be easy but its sure as hell gonna be fun! Preparation is Key Upgrading to Level Six is just the beginning. Once there you will need to research every scrap of information you can find and think long and hard about your options. Players will be needing the services of all the level 6 settlements and it will be down to you to provide those services. All those hard earned credits and resources you’ve been saving for a rainy day? Well its about to begin to pour down! So be ready to empty the coffers and convert every last scrap of resource you have to attain your goals. This is just a taste of whats coming your way. We will begin to post more over the coming weeks, but get those harvests and extractors busy folks, get your banks topped off and consider yourselves on warning - LEVEL SIX IS COMING!

Re: [Audyssey] zero sight flying question
Hi Alan. It's all about the angle. keep track of your vertical heading with the t key. When it's zero you've leveled out.

Re: [Audyssey] Playroom christmas update !
Hi tom. Have you tried Pontes backgammon from http://www.pontes.ro/backgammon/help/index.php I admit I was rather impressed by the game and in fact it's got me into playing backgammon which i've not tried before (oddly enough, it's not as popular in England as you'd think). the many features of the Pontes game however, and indeed the game itself very much impressed me. apart from various good sounds and board over view, and a few fun options like choosing background ambience for the game, playing the computer has been a good way for me to learn the game and improve. I can now always defeat the computer on Hard,and can win 50 percent of the time against difficult. while I agree this is probab ly not as challenging as it could be, sinse Pontes backgammon has the ability to play against other people online, some of whome are very good there is always an option to continue. Pluss Manu is continually improving the game, he's just for instance added mouse support and apparently is looking into adding graphics as well. I'd deffinately recommend it, even if the computer isn't tough enough there is always online play. Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] For my fellow gamers.
Hi, Yes, while something like a standard flight sim might be considered boring by some there are certainly aspects that make them interesting to play. Besides the real world challenges you mentioned below like real life weather conditions a lot of sighted players enjoy the background scenery and visual effects offered by Microsoft Flight Simulator. While no spoken feedback can quite convey the same thing as seeing it I could see an accessible flight sim have a co-pilot that ocationally describes where you are and what is on the ground. Attention, ladies and gentlemen, if you look off to the right you can see the Statue of Liberty come into view as we make our way to John F. Kenidy Airport. She stands 100 feet tall, and is still holding the torch of freedom up high for all to see. Something like that would make a flight simulator interesting and add some of the feedback sighted pilots see when flying FSX and other flight simulators. It merely means the developer has to get creative and attempt to convert the visual into something accessible we can enjoy as well. I personally don't think it would be boring if a game had such a feature as my co-pilot could describe things as we passed them in flight. toss in a few historical facts or trivia as well and the game might even be educational too.

When I was younger, before I lost my sight, I use to help my dad build gas powered model airplanes that we took out and flew on the weekends. the nice thing about where we lived is there was a little airport made especially for model airplanes not far from our house and I spent hours of fun flying model aircraft over the summer break. Its one of the things I truly miss as an adult as my dad and I don't really have that kind of time to share any more. Another type of model aircraft I was into is model rockets. We would pick one up at the store build it, put a little gas powered engine in the bottom, and then take it down to the model airport and launch them off. One of the coolest model rockets I owned was called the Camrock. The Camrock had a small 110 camra mounted in the nose cone, and if you put a roll of 110 film in it you could do airial photography using the rocket.The way it worked is you launched the rocket, it went up to say 500 feet I think, and then came back down. As it rolled over the parachute would deploy triggering the camra and it would take a snapshot of the ground below. Somewhere around here I have a framed photograph of my old neighborhood I took with the camrock when I was 9 or 10 years old. However, now days like you I mainly spend my time with radio controlled vehicles. My son and I sometimes take them down to the local park and race them when the weather is nice. I've got a Dodge Ram pickup, a Hummer, a couple of dune buggies, and a large 1/6 scale four wheeler. I've even got a radio controlled boat my son and I take turns playing with in my in-laws pond. I think the next thing I want to buy is a radio controlled submarine. Cheers!

The only thing that is real about it is that all of the planes and each bullet do have an x, y and z coordinate that are up dated about 20 times per second. If I could write a real flight simulation program I would want to use real longitude, latitude and altitude coordinates. You know like maybe start out at the correct longitude, latitude and altitude coordinates of the Cleveland Hopkins International airport. Then be able to fly to and land at Burk Lakefront airport. And then maybe fly to the Cuyahauga airport. And then back to the Cleveland Hopkins International airport. But to fly say from the Cleveland Hopkins International airport to say L.A.X. would just be boring. One would just take off, gain altitude, set a heading and let the plane fly for hours and hours, until you got near L.A.X. I did really enjoy the Microsoft flight simulation program when I still had a tiny bit of sight. It even allowed me to set longitude, latitude and altitude coordinates. And soon I was flying around the Brooklyn bridge, the Statue of Liberty and even the Twin Towers. BTW My Dad's life long hobby was building and flying remote control gas powered model airplanes. Most were built from kits that you buy, but he did at one point start designing and building his own planes. The first was a biplane and was named Puppy 1. Puppy 2 was also a biplane, but puppy 3 was not. I myself have always been more into gas or electric powered remote control cars, trucks and all terrain vehicles. I have ten of them.

Re: [Audyssey] Model Aircraft and Radio Controlled Vehicles
Well done a little of that too. The rockets are not hard to build, it just takes a bit of time. The engines they use are solid pods in sizes A, B, C, D. The D type engine is a 2 stage design, and each letter progresses up in power. Now building, getting them ready to fly can be done. however, they do go up enough that you will lose sound from engine and then when done no sound. So as long as you got someone with sight. You can pretty much get your rocket back. Do a search on youtube for model rockets. They have a lot you can get the feel for it.

Hi Nancy. Yes, it works exceptionally well, I'm in general very impressed with the program. The demo restriction on the game is indeed that you can't bare off more than four checkers.

Re: [Audyssey] Model Aircraft and Radio Controlled Vehicles
Hi Charles, Well, keep in mind I still had sight when I was into model rockets, but the kits usually weren't that difficult to build. Of course, how difficult the kit was to build depended on the kit. They ranged from beginner models for kids to very advanced models for adults. The models I built were mostly the beginner models as I was only 9 or 10 years old at the time and the instructions were not that difficult. However, I do remember my dad and I did buy one of the more advanced kits, the Apollo 11, and that one required my dad's help because it was a fairly detailed replication of the Saturn 5 rocket and Apollo 11 command module.It had to be painted, glued together, and there were several detailed decals to add to it. I suppose I could have done that one myself, as I was sighted at the time, but couldn't have done that one blind as we wanted it to look as close as possible to the real thing. As far as the fuel goes the model rockets use a solid rocket engine meaning that it uses a special propellant that comes with the engine you buy from the toy store. The fuel and oxidizer are mixed together into a propellant that is packed into a solid cylinder which comes inside the model rocket engine itself. You use an electric ignition to light the engine, and launch the model rocket into the air. Once you use the engine you have to replace it before relaunching the model rocket as there is no way to refuel it. That's why model rocket engines generally come three to a pack as you can only use them once before throwing them away and buying a new one. The reason why modern model rockets use solid propellant rather than liquid fuels like gas is for safety reasons. Apparently, back in the 60's when model rockets first became really popular kids had a habit of blowing their hands and arms off messing with liquid fuels like gas. So modern model rocket engines use the same type of solid propellant the shuttle uses in its solid rocket boosters but only on a smaller scale of course. You just install the engine, set your rocket on the launch pad, connect the electric ignition and blast off. There isn't any handling flammable materials, poisonous chemicals, or anything too dangerous for a kid to get hurt with. Just remember to stand back before igniting the engine as you could get toasted if you are too close. As far as a blind person building and flying model rockets I think the blindness issue takes a lot of the fun out of it. The most fun I had with them was launching them and watching them reach maximum altitude, say 1,000 feet, and then descend back to the earth. Not being able to watch them fly takes most if not all of the fun out of it. At least for me that's been the reason I haven't gotten back into it. For example, back around Easter time my in-laws had a couple of model rockets they decided to launch after dinner and everyone sat outside watching the rockets go up one after another. I felt really left out of the experience because I could hear them take off, and had to listen to people ooh and ah as they flew overhead. One even crash landed right in the middle of the pond and we couldn't get it until summer when someone finally went swimming and retrieved it out of the mud. By that time it was pretty much hosed. In any case I didn't really feel connected to the fun of watching them. Being told a rocket just torpedoed straight into the middle of the pond isn't quite as fun as watching it hit, break apart, and sink. Cheers!

I suppose I could have done that one myself, as I was sighted at the time, but couldn't have done that one blind as we wanted it to look as close as possible to the real thing. As far as the fuel goes the model rockets use a solid rocket engine meaning that it uses a special propellant that comes with the engine you buy from the toy store. The fuel and oxidizer are mixed together into a propellant that is packed into a solid cylinder which comes inside the model rocket engine itself. You use an electric ignition to light the engine, and launch the model rocket into the air. Once you use the engine you have to replace it before relaunching the model rocket as there is no way to refuel it. That's why model rocket engines generally come three to a pack as you can only use them once before throwing them away and buying a new one. The reason why modern model rockets use solid propellant rather than liquid fuels like gas is for safety reasons. Apparently, back in the 60's when model rockets first became really popular kids had a habit of blowing their hands and arms off messing with liquid fuels like gas. So modern model rocket engines use the same type of solid propellant the shuttle uses in its solid rocket boosters but only on a smaller scale of course. You just install the engine, set your rocket on the launch pad, connect the electric ignition and blast off. There isn't any handling flammable materials, poisonous chemicals, or anything too dangerous for a kid to get hurt with. Just remember to stand back before igniting the engine as you could get toasted if you are too close. As far as a blind person building and flying model rockets I think the blindness issue takes a lot of the fun out of it. The most fun I had with them was launching them and watching them reach maximum altitude, say 1,000 feet, and then descend back to the earth. Not being able to watch them fly takes most if not all of the fun out of it. At least for me that's been the reason I haven't gotten back into it. For example, back around Easter time my in-laws had a couple of model rockets they decided to launch after dinner and everyone sat outside watching the rockets go up one after another. I felt really left out of the experience because I could hear them take off, and had to listen to people ooh and ah as they flew overhead. One even crash landed right in the middle of the pond and we couldn't get it until summer when someone finally went swimming and retrieved it out of the mud. By that time it was pretty much hosed. In any case I didn't really feel connected to the fun of watching them. Being told a rocket just torpedoed straight into the middle of the pond isn't quite as fun as watching it hit, break apart, and sink. Cheers!

Hi Charles, No, they don't fire torpedoes, but that doesn't rule out creating mock submarine battles and things like that. You have to use your imagination here to a certain point, but you can certainly maneuver these rc submarines around like a real submarine, pull up to the stern of a radio controlled destroyer and pretend you just chucked one up his tail.

Re: [Audyssey] IF client and MUD client.
Muds are platform agnostic; it does not make sense to say that there are no accessible muds for the mac. That said, there are very few mudding clients for the mac platform, so finding a client that is accessible may be tough. MushZ for example, does not have a mac version. The two mac clients that I know our players use are: Savitar: http://www.heynow.com/Savitar/ Mudwalker: http://mudwalker.cubik.org/ There's also a huge list of mac mudding clients available at: http://www.hsoi.net/mud/clients/ There's no mention of accessibility, but I would be surprised if fewer than half were usable.

Re: [Audyssey] Ice road trucker mod for trucker
Hi Mike, The ice roads are actually frozen rivers in the northern provinces that are so frozen that they are used as roads. However, as the show said they are extremely dangerous because vehicles can crack the ice and fall through, or slide on the ice and wreck. It would certainly be an interesting concept for a game.

Re: [Audyssey] Model Aircraft and Radio Controlled Vehicles
Hi Charles, Yeah, sort of like that. Although, unlike the fireworks you can take some enjoyment out of building the model rocket and there is some enjoyment of being the guy who launches the rocket. Of course as a kid I found other ways to amuse myself too. Not sure if I shared this on list before, but one of the things I liked doing is capturing frogs, toads, and other little animals and sending them up in the rockets. Sometimes they survived the experience but most of the time I scared them to death or smashed them flat due to the g-forces. Lol! The funniest case I can remember is this time my dad and I built this large model rocket, it was almost three feet tall, and I wanted to add a toad to it as a passenger. So my dad and I padded the inside of the cockpit with cotton, stuck the little guy in there, and prepared to launch him into space. Now, keep in mind here this rocket had a D engine, that's a two-stage engine, with a heck a lot of thrust, and could do a couple thousand feet easy. Basically, this poor toad was going where no toad had gone before. :D Anyway, I launched the rocket, the first stage burned out, and the rocket was way up in the sky at I'd say a thousand feet. Unfortunately, the engine must have been defective because it didn't kick in right away, and the rocket began falling out of the sky. So here it comes, a huge nose dive straight towards the ground, at maybe 250 feet, when the second stage finally kicks in, driving it straight into the ground at several hundred miles per hour. It hit the ground and blows apart on impact. Of course, the chute pops out after it hits the ground, but by then the poor toad's days were numbered. Not that the chute would have done any good with the second stage engine adding that much thrust to the descent. My dad and I went over and looked at the wreckage, and what to our wondering eyes should we see is the toad totally squished flat, his eyes were bugged out, and he looked like he was scared crapless. We laughed so hard I think our sides were going to burst open. That's the kind of devious and demented uses I put some of the model rockets to. Cheers!!

Of course, how difficult the kit was to build depended on the kit. They ranged from beginner models for kids to very advanced models for adults. The models I built were mostly the beginner models as I was only 9 or 10 years old at the time and the instructions were not that difficult. However, I do remember my dad and I did buy one of the more advanced kits, the Apollo 11, and that one required my dad's help because it was a fairly detailed replication of the Saturn 5 rocket and Apollo 11 command module.It had to be painted, glued together, and there were several detailed decals to add to it. I suppose I could have done that one myself, as I was sighted at the time, but couldn't have done that one blind as we wanted it to look as close as possible to the real thing. As far as the fuel goes the model rockets use a solid rocket engine meaning that it uses a special propellant that comes with the engine you buy from the toy store. The fuel and oxidizer are mixed together into a propellant that is packed into a solid cylinder which comes inside the model rocket engine itself. You use an electric ignition to light the engine, and launch the model rocket into the air. Once you use the engine you have to replace it before relaunching the model rocket as there is no way to refuel it. That's why model rocket engines generally come three to a pack as you can only use them once before throwing them away and buying a new one. The reason why modern model rockets use solid propellant rather than liquid fuels like gas is for safety reasons. Apparently, back in the 60's when model rockets first became really popular kids had a habit of blowing their hands and arms off messing with liquid fuels like gas. So modern model rocket engines use the same type of solid propellant the shuttle uses in its solid rocket boosters but only on a smaller scale of course. You just install the engine, set your rocket on the launch pad, connect the electric ignition and blast off. There isn't any handling

If any of you use mIRC in combination with JAWS, could you please give me some pointers on how I can make mIRC work well with JAWS? I know you can configure the mIRC scripts to perform certain tasks and do things, but I'm just not sure how to make it work with JAWS. Any advice/help would be appreciated.

Once you trained the MS Recognition engine you would be able to issue real time voice commands to the ship like fire photon torpedoes,fire fasers, warp 8, etc. However, I don't know of any accessible PC games that have this functionality currently.

Re: [Audyssey] Voice control games.
well its your plane is voice controled. I know a lot of newer games aparently have it though I never have tried those from a friend who has seen them. However some have a draggon interface but most require ms speech which even when it works needs training which is quite hard to access really for us.

Re: [Audyssey] Voice control games.
Well I just got done playing the game call AIAdventure for IOS, and I have to say the voice control feature is great! Games that a person can control by voice could be made accessible for the blind, here is a example of that. If there was a racing game you would use headphones to be able to hear the sounds to let you know when you got to turn, and then you would say the command turn. You of course would say which way you wanted to turn. If anyone would please help me find more games like this on the IOS platform that would be great. -- Email services provided by the System Access Mobile Network.

Re: [Audyssey] Model Aircraft and Radio Controlled Vehicles
Hi Thomas, We also did the model rockets. Never had one with a camera though. But behind what was Grandma Kitchen's back yard is a huge open area where the power lines go through across route 306 from Lakeland community college, so we had the room there for our rockets. And on Tyler boulevard in Mentor they had an airfield just for model airplanes. Dad did have a remote control power boat, but we never did take it out. We have a large parking lot where I live, so I take my remote control cars out and play with them in it. So I have a 1 to 6 scale Hummer. It has lights, horn, door lock sound and engine sound. The hood, doors and rear hatch all open and close. It has full spring suspension and an on and off road switch on the transmission. It also has a three position speed slash gear toggle on the remote. My 1969 Camero convertible also is a 1 to 6 scale. It has lights, full suspension and the hood, trunk and doors open. They actually have latches that you must use to open them. The steering wheel moves when you turn the wheels with the remote. It I think is my fastest vehicle. Not sure how fast it goes, but it does easily spin the wheels if you pull the trigger full to take off. It is actually tough to try to take off without spinning the wheels. grin Both of those have allot of detail both inside, outside and even inside of the engine compartment when you open it. Then I also have a 1 to 6 scale four wheel ATV. Of course with a Barbie doll riding behind the dude. She makes it so that it will pop a wheely and hold it for a bit. I also have Barbie dolls in the Hummer and Brat dolls in the Camero. My General Lee I believe might be a 1 to 10 scale. It has lights, the rebel horn and full suspension. It also is pretty fast. One thing about it though is that it sits so low to the ground that it is a better indoor car as it has trouble with the cracks in the sidewalk and the bumps in our driveway. Too bad that it did not come with a Daisy Duke doll. grin My Semi-truck I also believe might be a 1 to 10 scale. It has lights. It is about three and a half foot long all together. Bought it used from a friend. Not so easy to drive. You know because without seeing it is tough to back it up. I think that my Jeep, GTO, Shelby Series 1 and Bat Mobile are all about 1 to 18 scale. My Ford F150 is more like a 1 to 24 scale. I am pretty much just guessing about the scale of them, except for I am pretty sure about the 1 to 6 because they are perfect size for a Barbie doll which I know to be 1 to 6. The Shelby is also an indoor car. It is pretty fast and very low to the ground, but the thing about it is, that it has no bumper type protection front or rear. So I know that if I slammed it into a curb or something that the body would probably crack.

Re: [Audyssey] Model Aircraft and Radio Controlled Vehicles
Hi Thomas, We also had a rocket engine malfunction once. The rocket was a two part rocket. One part was just to hold the engine and tumble back to the ground. The second part was a glider airplane. It was pretty cool to watch the glider gracefully glide in a circular manner back to the ground. So with the D engine the second boost would separate the two parts of the rocket. But one time the rocket did not ascend correctly and instead curved over and headed for the ground. And like your's the booster just drove the rocket straight into the ground. And I do mean into the ground. Speaking of into the ground, my Dad had a beautiful scale World War 2 trainer plane with about a three and a half foot wing span. He was thinking that the batteries were getting low in the remote, but we talked him into taking it up once more. Yep the battery died and he lost control of it. It dove into the ground. We had to dig it out of the ground to recover the engine etc. Another time he had this Navion plane with a six foot wing span. He accidently flew it out of range and it just took off. We drove down the road trying to catch up to it, but never did. Years later a lady called him and said that she had been doing dishes and looked out the window and thought that a real airplane was coming right at her house. The plane just landed nicely in her yard.

Re: [Audyssey] Model Aircraft and Radio Controlled Vehicles
Hi Jim, That sounds like a great collection. The Hummer sounds exactly like mine and it is 1/6th scale for sure. I've got a 12 inch G.I. Joe doll, Duke, behind the steering wheel, and you know its 1/6th scale if the 12 inch GI Joe's and Barbie dolls can ride in them. Grin. Which reminds me of one I forgot to mention. I've also got a 1/6th scale RC Harley Davidson motor cycle, and I've got a Barbie that can ride on it. I managed to find a collectable Harley Davidson Barbie doll all dressed up in leather, with a crash helmet, etc and she fits on the cycle, and my wife and I sometimes take turns having her ride around our parking lot. What I really like about the RC Harley is while you are driving it it makes realistic engine noises so I can hear it burn out, rev, and rumble when standing still. I think the next RC vehicle I'll be buying is a submarine or I'll get one of the World War II replica battleships. I've seen huge RC replicas of the Yomato, Biz mark, Missouri, etc which I'd love to get my little paws on and drive them in my in-laws pond. Plus there are some modern replicas of destroyers, aircraft carriers, etc that are all cool. As a military buff that stuff is right up my alley. Cheers!

Hi Folks, I ran across this iPhone dice rolling app and it does talk, except it does not tell your the dice roll. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HC2v3zpd8Yk DARK DICE$0.99 DARK DICE : The iPhone Dice for the dark side Are your dice gone? No problem: these dice are simulated in the iPhone and realistically roll around when shaken. Frank Meyer already offers several dice applications in the App Store. Now he presents DARK DICE 1.0, his first dice of horror: this time the dark side gets its own dice. Fantastic animations along with a growling voice in the Darth Vader style make for fun special effects. Briefly summarized: - Simulated dice in 3D for on the go - Shake the iPhone to roll the dice - Spine-chilling sounds and voice - Works with the iPod touch and iPhone Everyone has been there: The whole family or gang feels like playing an exciting board game - but the dice are nowhere to be found. It's like they've all fallen off the face of the earth. No problem: Frank Meyer presents a new iPhone-App which lets you keep your dice on hand. The DARK DICE can be installed on all iPhones and iPod touch devices. The special feature: you can shake the device to roll the die. The 3D animation shows you the rolling die before it stops, and then you can see the number that comes up. It's impossible to cheat, the die does not teeter or tip in this digital version. Everybody in the game can take turns shaking the iPhone. DARK DICE : Glowing copper, rising hellfire Frank Meyer already offers several dice in the iTunes AppStore. The new release 'DARK DICE' is a very special die: It comes from the depths of hell and looks like it has been forged from red-hot copper by the devil himself. It even sounds metallic as he crashes onto the floor, and hellfire radiates out of the numbers. A game of dice with bad guys is much more fun when this App is used. You don't need to shake your iPhone to roll the dice of the dark side, tapping the screen works too, especially if you don't want to risk dropping your device. Requirements : Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 3.0 or later http://www.ipholib.com/iPhoneGames-DARKDICE-37875.html --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Ice road trucker mod for trucker
Must confess I never saw that show. I quit watching ice road truckers after the first season as it got repetitive.

Hey how about an alligator hunting game? That's a crazy history channel show as well.
