Can't Get Enough Dave?Submitted by: Calliope @ 11:50 AM | Monday, June 12, 2000 | (url: )If you've read the news below this, you know that the Dev Team's Dave "QIX" Georgeson was interviewed last night by TsN's PubKnight. Before that interview, though, he was hanging out in IRC at #tribalwar, and Cowboy .. um .. interviewed him (though interrogated might be a better word). If this is already posted in the TsN download, I'll apologize now. I'm sorry, okay? I'm home for the summer and my good old modem just can't seem to handle the download. Therefore, I have not read the interview. But if it's not posted, here are some of Dave's Tribes 2-related answers: QIX: Cowboy...heh. I dunno. I think we'll be out before Halo. That's about all I can say until Halo shows some gameplay.There are more, but I'll spare you from picking through the IRC dialogue unless you choose to. In that case, read it all in the forum thread here. Oh, and Dave likes his pizza with pepperoni and mushrooms. >>Comments For All You Mappers...Submitted by: Ratorasniki @ 10:37 AM | Monday, June 12, 2000 | (url: )Hosed, of Screaming Fist fame, has provided any tribes mappers with a tool to convert map files for use with the new worldcraft version.
