How'd you find Lugaru/When did you first play it?

It is impossible for that to work, it simply can not be done like that.

I was getting heavily into helping develop certain things because of my extensive "collection" of apple machines.

It all started when i got the internship at Apple Computers (the corporate office in Cupertino... where Jobsey is). I started working there, and i built on my already enormous amount of knowledge about the hardware inside and outside of a Mac. Because of this, i would help many people on online forums (mainly ResExcellence's forums) with any difficulty they had with hardware. While i knew/know basic application issues and how to resolve them, i can work wonders around anyone (including my bosses) with hardware.

So that started it all. Well, about a year before i had stumbled apon Lightning's shadow. I found this game to be great, even though it lacked depth. So i played it for a while, and put it down for other games. Well one night i was having my buddy spend the night and he wanted to play a video game on my Mac and asked what i had. So i showed him what i had, and he kind of went through the small list (at the time) and played each one till he was bored. When he came apon LS he was dumbfounded by how cool it was. So he asked me questions, "where is this from?" "who made it?" and so on and so forth. So i found Wolfire again and started looking around. I found a page for Lugaru and saw that it was still in Beta form. As stated earlier, i had been helping a lot with Beta's right now because of all of this equipment i was helping with/in charge of (the group i interned for supplied WWDC, Macworld, and many, MANY other mac shows. We worked exclusively with the people just below Steve Jobs and therefor had the latest and greatest equipment).

So i got involved with these online forums and started posting. I helped what people i could, and if anyone had more problems then i could help with, i would take them over to the actual On-Site repair group and see if they knew the source of the problem.

After a while i got to know FrozenThunder pretty well. We chatted back and forth on AIM and sent many messages back and forth. He actually told me that David was looking for people like me to help him test on different set ups and on newer, unrealeased machines. So i sent a PM to David explaining my case and how i thought i could help. He never answered my PM. So about 2 weeks later i wrote in another post "David. Read your PMS! i can help more then you think" and i believe i was given an email granting me passage to the background forums and to the beta version. I did the best i could, and i found a few bugs, but i didn't really like the game. Not until one of the more recent beta's was brought out.

Needless to say, i've liked the game ever since then.

So that's my story,

I found this game because I was a beta tester for Lugaru under a different account name.

However, my computer eventually broke just prior to the game's release and I never returned... UNTIL NOW!

Pretty much the same thing…

Anyway, I found it on MacGameFiles, I thought it was interesting, I downloaded it, tried the tutorial (I don't do tutorials often, unless I've read the manual first

) and I thought to myself "Oh, this game is 3D, interesting…" and I played it a lot after that, then I registered, and then registered to the forum quite a long time later (Days later)

I found it under the shareware section in a disc from PCGamer.

I first wondered why this game had so many mac users playing, then I figured the only good games for mac are Fullthrottle and Lugaru.

Yeah, because you know... these threads are sooo hard to keep up with. No way could we allow some one new to introduce themselves.

C'mon what's with you guys!

That's the second time you've bashed someone for posting on an old thread. There is no rule against it. He can post wherever the damn hell he wants. Don't be a bigot.
