In case you missed it, Steam is beginning to publish (from what I've read) many, many of the LucasArts games:
http://store.steampowered.com/publisher/LucasArts/
... including (eventually? soon?) the JK2, JK3 series, etc. So for those of you who've "lost your disk" - NO EXCUSE!

THIS IS AWESOME!
(What does it mean?)

Purcahse-able, download-able games/content, etc. as with the other "Valve" offered games through Steam. They also keep track (forever?) of what you've purchased.
So, if you purchase a game like JK2 via Steam - it downloads and installs automatically. Then, if you get a different machine down the road, you simply tell Steam to re-install the game. It won't keep track of any custom configs, etc., but you don't have to worry about losing/breaking your game CD, etc.

By the way - welcome back to the land of the living.
I miss JK2
Me too, Hammy.
I actually strapped on my gear and went for a wander a few nights ago. There's a (newer?) terrible mod out there many servers are running that completely changes (erm, destroys) the damage system - but it was a fun romp, none-the-less.
@Infi - on and off the air. It depends on what I've been tasking that server for lately. I can bring them up at any time. I'm hoping to find a new landing place for them soon so I can just leave them on.
Let me know if any of the 3 of you are interested in jumping back in for some nostalgia and I'll turn them back up.
JB
I'd like to too sometime soon...

I just upgraded to Windows 7. I'd actaully like to see how it runs older software like JK2. So I'm game, just set the date and I'll be there! What's the status on teamspeak? I'm guessing we dropped that a while ago.
I can get TeamSpeak back up, too if you're interested.
When's the best time to jump in? Does it matter? weekend? Weekday? Morning, noon, night?
JB
I think the crickets heard crickets ...
My recent problem was getting the server(s) to show up on the master list behind the latest firewall incarnation - but I may have solved that.
If anyone wants to take a dip in the pool of Jedi love, let me know.
JB
I still am unclear as to what it offers, but WOO for me!

Speaking of Steam soon being available for Mac, http://store.steampowered.com/about/. I've no idea when it became available for Mac or if resident and visiting Mac geeks might have discovered it, but..."well, there it is".
Well never found my JK2 disc but I shelled out 10 bucks and bought it on steam, been lurking on the server for an hour or so randomly throughout the week. Hope to catch one of you on soon. Anyone want to set a play date? The wookiee is HUNGRY!
YES!
I'll look for you. Rugg and I ran around last week a bit. We should shoot for some mutual time this weekend.
What works for you?
JB
I may or may not be going to a superbowl party tomorrow. it starts at 4PM EST so anytime before that I'll hop on if I get a text. I'm free for a bit tonight as well
