  • Double post of crazy made up plots: OK, after becoming utterly frustrated with some video games, the boy deems that he should just give them up. He swears that it will happen and proceeds to cut himself off cold-turkey style. He quickly finds his productivity climbing and gets a summer job and everything, but he starts to…
  • I've been spurred to re-read other threads of this forum long forgotten. There was an interesting discussion about pokemon and soul-stealing pokeballs and a link to a comic I had totally forgotten. Thoughts of what might-have-been for devo revo swirl through my mind as I type. Perhaps more on that later.
  • Shouldn't she be 21 for the drinkin'? At least technically. Happy birthday Lauren.
  • It's been...mid to low 60's lately? A bit of rain. I work at home on my computer. In a basement. I have no complaints about weather right now. Although 100 degree humid heat would make me wimper a little. I'm in Minnesota. Lots of lakes and all that. We don't really get dry heat. Thankfully we very rarely reach or exceed…
  • U.S. Military Working on Flesh Eating Robot Obviously a dramatization/far stretch of the truth, but I think the author of this article understands an eventuality when he sees it in this case. We can't have a skynet without a killer robot army can we? EDIT: They toned it down a bit.
  • I do believe this is thread #666 of the General Discussion Forum. I leave that to all of you to decide whether or not that is awesome.

  • ... I...but...goddamit. If anyone asks, I pushed him. ... So...now what? Perhaps a rousing game of "Precariously Perched atop the Pulpit"? Meh, the pulpit's way over there. And I'd probably fall off before I managed to drink much. I guess I'll have to settle with "Simply Standing atop the Stairs getting Sloshed". ...…
  • I'm running dual screens right now. I just hook them up go into "Display Settings" which you can get to easy enough in Windows by right clicking on the deskop background and selecting "Personalize" if you run Vista, or "Properties" in XP. If you have multiple monitors they should show up as blue numbered boxes here showing…
  • They didn't actually NEED to hammer anything. They were just banging on things to cause you misery. That's why it couldn't wait. It wouldn't bother you if you weren't there to hear it, now would it?
  • Now I'm imagining a person with a key-beard, headfins, and (a) funny hat(s). The hats are different everytime you look at him. His name is Keybeard Roboshinobi. He makes a lot of wild claims and may actually be (un)dead. Certainly, he smells like something died anyway. He is allegedly wanted for separate claims of piracy,…
  • Well, I haven't yet, 'cause I'm a lazy dork like that, but they've been selling those for a while. I was planning to pick one up, I just gotta decide which version I want.
  • Careful now, we already have a vomit café here. It's just...dead.
  • Does this call for a hooray yet?

  • Huh. I don't know if I've EVER had one.
  • I thought it was Jeff (Hamelin) with the sea serpent, was it not?
  • Hello.
  • I was funny. ...I still haven't played through Wind Waker or Twighlight Princess and I have them both. I'm a terrible Zelda fan.
  • Heh. Thanks for the pics. Probably beneficial to some. I'm already familiar with much of it, and Vista has a lot of the same stuff. I'd reiterate though that I'm NOT fond of the UI. Everything is simply too big and less customizable than XP was. I miss a lot of the tricks from XP (classic. The default in XP was even worse…
  • I'm not really worried, just curious. I'm already sold on 7 for the technical purposes. Specifically superior handling of SSD's that it should have. Currently I see no reason to get the release candidate. I already have Vista installed, it's just not registered. It's functioning as a demo, which will end soon enough and I…
  • I read a webcomic once that involved a lot of smash bros strips. Roy was a significant character in the comic. Then he wasn't in Brawl and the author seemed to have to try pretty hard to find reasons to bring him back into the comic. EDIT: Hey, I found it.
  • This is why I play my multiplayer RPGs in a LAN environment.
  • I very nearly quit my quasi-job myself recently. I don't think they want me to leave though. I think I said something about that situation in a different thread though.

  • Windows 7 is on the horizon. I'm interested in this. I'm currently running Vista as a bit of a trial period, but that will end before the month does and I'll be buying Vista, but it seems I now have the option to buy vista and get a free Windows 7 upgrade with it. Not a bad deal. Still, I exclusively use the windows…
  • I'm waiting for news of a child being killed by a pet rock. It would be the sort of news you wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry about.
  • I noticed when you hit 1k on the spot. Should I have told you that?

  • That depends. What manner of business? EDIT: Ninja'd!

  • I've managed to avoid playing Diablo 2 for a little while. Dungeon Siege 2 and more recently Titan Quest have been filling that Diablo-shaped hole in my soul. Of course even if I did go back to Diablo 2 I'd probably be playing the homebrew mod version a friend of mine made and me and another guy helped tweak a bit. On the…
  • This is like saying there are too many lens flares, heathen.
  • Literally, huh? I wasn't aware his soldiers were made of water. I'm pretty sure the British didn't have any crazy matter evaporation ray guns or anything. If they did we probably wouldn't have won that fight, so I can only guess the former is correct. Water soldiers might not be very effective. Especially in the winter.…
