Because this game died forever ago. But to find out you guys are still kicking! Wow, and a new damn mod to boot, too. My nostalgia is tingling hard, you just know next day I'm off I'll be torrenting this gem, getting Tellurium, and getting at least average again if there's still people to do it with. God damn, you have no idea how happy I am to see this game still have a forum with people posting in it, for real, it's euphoric. Such an important part of my adolescence, so good to see you all.
So what the truck is up with you guys man

Looks like everyone changed names or is new before I went off the grid (again). But seriously, BIG UPS to this community. Hopefully if I post a whole bunch eventually you all will have to reply eventually and maybe pick this dead forum up off its ass because frankly the community always had the best people. More thoughtful and close knit than any other game community ever, even back in the "glory days" (Even with ICO the game never really 'hit it big' as Relic wanted, thus the eventual murder of ICO and in effect ICs viable future), and definitely became even tighter knit after it took a lot of effort to even stay in touch and play together. And I imagine it has only gotten harder and harder as the numbers dwindle.
Any way, running OS X on a MacBook Pro, it's my fiancé's. I assume there's nothing I have to know special for that right? I've only played on Windows before this. And not going to bother tonight, because I'm slightly inebriated and have to work tomorrow anyway. But if you remember KillerButterfly just remind me who I would know you as. Even if it takes y'all slow asses 2 weeks to even see my humble thread

You'd likely know me as VisserZer0. I played on Hamachi years ago. Just missed ICO by a little bit lol. If you're playing on OS X, you'll need to use a program such as VirtualBox to run Windows inside of it to run IC on or else take your chances using something like WINE Or CrossOver. I'd recommend the first option, as I can confirm it works well, including with online play. "Emulators" like WINE are always a little patchy, on the other hand.

Yeah Visser I remember you! Good times... Anybody else left? How's the core group of players looking like? And how the fuck have you been bro???
Hamachi still the way to play? And it's looking like my path to IC is a winding one... Download a utorrent or some such, scrounge up a torrent with hopefully more than 2 seeds and 1.1 and II and such, download Hamachi, then VirtualBox, and then Skype. And then of course download Tellurian mod. Am I missing anything?

Don't bother downloading Hamachi any more. Now we play by direct IP/TCP cause it is faster and less laggier than Hamachi. Hamachi is used now only in emergency situations xd.
EDIT: Btw, welcome to our group :3. Hope you will have fun here

Oh nice thanks man, when I get it together I'm probably gonna need some hand holding to figure out how to do that, and perhaps some other stuff too. As they say... Am not good with computer. And a message with a link to a halfway decent torrent would be the cat's pajamas as well. Excited to get back into this game maaaaaan

Thank you brah brah!!! It'll be fun to kick my ass a couple of times while I try to get used to the new mod I bet, I used to be a kinda goodish player back in the day, but I'm sure it doesn't matter at all now. Excited to try the new mod maaaaan, creature chaos was cool but kinda broken in its own ways too.
Appreciate the help chillbros, can't wait to play some freakin games with you guys! Wish I didn't work 50 hours a week but I got Sunday's and Monday's off. What times do games usually happen?

It's all good, I keep strange hours anyway so I'll see you at some point. I've played with the Aussies and New Zealanders so I'll be on late while they're up early, or vice versa. You'll get a chance to destroy my lab soon enough
