Super DX Ball v1.1 is Out!

[Brian]

As those of you keeping an eye on the BETA thread probably already know, the latest version of Super DX Ball, one of the finest Breakout style games on the market, is released and available. Those of you who have never played SDXB can download the shareware version from our website HERE (http://www.blitwise.com/superdxb.exe).

Deluxe owners should be receiving a newsletter which will contain a link to the new version within the next day or two. If you don't, check your Junk folder. If you haven't received one, or you've changed your email address from the one you used to buy the game, email me at techsupport@blitwise.com with the full name and email address used to purchase SDXB and I'll get you a new link.

An announcement so great, it needs two threads. :D

Seriously, congrats on releasing another great game version!

[Samail]

Funny that it hasn't appeared on the home page in "News" yet. (Although next to the SDXB logo on the Downloads page it says "Updated July 30th, 2007".)

[Pyrobellum]

Hmm, oops. I posted in the beta thread, thinking the beta was still going on. :/ Oh well. Ok then... you will make this for Macintosh

[Mike W.]

Mike A. at CTSP Games is a busy fellow at the moment, but he's going to make good on Mac versions of PTanks and SDXB in the very near future. I do apologize for the slow Mac updates. It's on the way, even though it seems like it is not. :)

[Everlast]

Is there a Mike for Pocket Tanks on Linux too? :anirolleyes:

[blue_moon]

I think so. Maybe its Mike R. Or Mike Q.

[Pyrobellum]

Excellent! I now need a lot of money with which to buy games.

[ben]

Is there a Mike for Pocket Tanks on Linux too? :anirolleyes:
Haha, you have no idea. Let's just say that we at Blitwise are thankful for last names.

[Zwaken]

Thankful for last last names...? I don't get it :confused:

Sorry if I just ruined the moment :D

[Brian]

It means secretly, we're all named Mike.

[Everlast]

........So are your names really "Mike Brian" and "Mike Ben". :p

[blue_moon]

That was a good joke. It really would be funny if a company would hire people named Mike but nobody else.

[ismilrona]

Wonderfull

[ekoz]

1 year old thread...try looking at the dates of the last post next time, 'k? there in the dark gray bar at the top of every post, way on the left of said bar.

nobody else say anythingelse about this. we need more people, and we can't drive this guy away.

anyway, welcome!

[Brian]

Hmmm...*sniffs around*

I guess everything's Kosher.

[Samail]

Was thinking the same thing, but it passed.
Hope to hear more from... however you pronounce the name. :rolleyes:

...Guess I just ignored the request.
*leaves*

[ekoz]

wow. i had a feeling you were ferenot, starting with that advertising thing. meh.

[AWP]

Will he ever give up? He's like a rash to this forum.

[Adder_Poland]

This is over the top!

[Val81]

bye bye birdie

Yeah, I wouldn't post 10 threads as a NewBlitter and furthermore resurrect threads meant to stay dead.

[Samail]

I need to write that IP down somewhere...

[Val81]

I'm guessing all those Feronats just happen to have the same IP address as "LBY". Coincidence, huh? :rolleyes:

[flankattack]

Lol, when will he give up?

[disuswi]

I accept with information:Mike A. at CTSP Games is a busy fellow at the moment, but he's going to make good on Mac versions of PTanks and SDXB in the very near future.

[Samail]

I concur.

[Leaf_It]

so diswus us us we or what ever his name is is a fero for real or was he banned for an other reason?

NO I'm not him.

[Unknown]

why would you Feronat? your too nice.

[Leaf_It]

I did one as a joke and got a - rep for it.

[chimchar1337piplup]

you also failed at it. you made at least one major mistake.

[Leaf_It]

First off I would have said this 3 days ago my my internet server crashed

Now, I was not exactly trying to hide the fact that I was pretending to be fero. I was doing it as a prank and to see the reaction of what the members would be. I'm sorry for affending any one I didn't realize how mad you all would get. If was going t hide it I would have used a fake Email and a proxy. If the account had lasted longer I would have told every one I was FER0NAT and told all of you that the password was marr. I was also going to post faking an alies thats a jerk in the 999 or what ever the thread is called practical jokes. but the mods and admin on this site are not as slow as on other forums I've seen people do this on. once again i apolagize for making you mad.

[Unknown]

I don't get it. what did you do?

[Leaf_It]

this quote should pretty well asnswer that. oh and ben wanted to ban me. :(


Ok as part of my confetion his password was: marr
the post I deleted was: iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimmmmmmmm baaaaaaaaaccckkkk
or something like that.
I did not post any pics or anything like that, that would obviously wrong.
I have tried to post good ideas and help the board as I much as I thought I could. I will, if you let me stay, be an active member of the boards trying to come on every day and suggest things that I hope will improve the site or one of the games. I never thought any one would think thatwas so bad it deserved a ban. so please, I'm begging you (sorta), Please don't Ban me I'm new to the site I'm to young to die.(I'm 15)

I also posted this acting like I was not him

FER0NAT is a gag.

and was banned because of an impersonation.

easly impersonated.

see . (space after "." is easly copied)

ooh , im feronat . <--(no ' between I'm)

they say hes returned, but he probably hasn't

I think know who he realy is...

he not the old feronat, hes fer0nat. (The o is a number zero=0 not letter=O)

If he really was do you think he would act like this:

mark . . .

commented .

the end is nigh . im coming for you !

- ^ -
-/|\-
- | -

Someone was impersonating him. I think I know who.

[chimchar1337piplup]

you didnt try to hide it? ive impersonated spammers elsewhere (the forum i admin) and you have to hide it using an IP mask (proxy) and a fake email.

[Leaf_It]

[FULLMETALSAMAURI]

Can one of the admins help me with a problem that i'm having with your version of super dx ball deluxe? i cannot view the boards nore can i change the difficulty on the startup menu and its annoying maybe i accidently deleted a file that i shouldnt have ? please help. thank you

[FULLMETALSAMAURI]

Bump^

[Unknown]

don't double post please

[Leaf_It]

hmm...thinking...not sure...ekoz?

[ekoz]

not a bot. just a guy who has a problem, but doesn't exactly know forum ettiquette.

for example, 4 minutes of no answers does not really qualify a bump, lol.

however, how can you tell he's not a bot?

-everything he's posting is different but about the same thing.
-he posted twice in the same thread.
-what he's posting about is specifically relevant to the forum in general.
-he posted about his problem in a thread all about the subject of his problem first, then went to other threads because he thought he wasn't being payed attention. bots don't care if you don't pay attention XD.

a few things to keep in mind. other things that single out a bot:

if a sentance posted by a user looks very familiar, it's probably a copy bot, unless he/she has input about the sentance, in which case he/she probably doesn't know about quoting. Copy bots are simple bots programed to enter a thread, and do one of two basic functions:

1) take a sentance from a random post, copy and paste it into the quick post box, and post it.
2) read the title of the thread, find any keywords (such as 'music' or 'game'), and post a pre-written responce that has some relationship to the keyword in the title.

if it's a user that posts something totally random, or something making a query, it isn't necessarily a bot. if it doesn't come back in 2 days, or if it posts the same thing in a different thing immediatly, you most likely have a bot, though you also might just have a spammer or a one post wonder. (spammers are people like feronat, one post wonders...well, you can probably get that from the name...)

[Unknown]

I know. I saw the other posts...

[FULLMETALSAMAURI]

Are you guys gonna help me resolve the issue or sit here and troll me about posting

[FULLMETALSAMAURI]

lol...

[ekoz]

well you problem seems to be that the packs you download are not working. well, are you sure you have deluxe, or just the demo version?

P.S: if i'm wrong about your problem at all, just tell me.

[flankattack]

Are you guys gonna help me resolve the issue or sit here and troll me about posting

Well done, buddy. You pass the bot-test!

[Samail]

Are you guys gonna help me resolve the issue or sit here and troll me about posting

That wasn't trolling in the least. Out of all the conversation, the only thing mentioned about your post in particular was not to double-post. The rest was about identifying who is human and who is software.

At any rate, thats a bizarre combination of issues you've got there.
I would recommend just reinstalling it. Sounds like something ended up corrupt somewhere along the line.

[Samail]

Oh, or you could contact Tech Support (http://www.blitwise.com/support.html).
(If you're still here...)
