Shatz- What Star Wars server are you on...?

is there a game thursday? I hope!

*blinks a lot* $281?! That's a few months of insurance, even after counting the rate rise from moving to Kent. Then again, insurance companies think I'm "inherently a better driver" since I'm not a 23-year-old male. *angelic look*

They wanted $3400 a year for insurance? What the feck does your Dad drive?

no!!!,i havent been driving since i got off my insurance on my dads car cus it was 281 a month.On my car its only 70 a month so i am guessing withing a month ill have my liscence

Got matches?

Got milk?

Got your license yet

i got my car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!yes

I hope everyone got enough presents.



If not, be good next year.

Spyware is the devil!

"Merii Kurisumasu!"

Or better yet, avoid the adware/spyware and go here

However, I should warn you that lately I have been unable to find much Deadlands related material on Kazaa. Dunno why. Plenty of other material, just not much Deadlands.

Here

Hey,guys. Anyone know of a good spot to find pdf's on deadlands. I liked the game that i was watching. I just would like the info to look at.....

Christmas Presents for Millionaire Videogamers

Games can be controversial editorials or lessons on fun

EEP OOP ORK AH AH.......

Yeah, Macs are nice that way. :)

Caroline--Instant messanger opens holes which allow both spyware and virus programs easy access to your system. It will even prevent the virus scanner/spyware software from preventing it. The adware is awful for IM users (if you haven't been hit yet it is only a matter of time), and the virus activity is going to explode soon. Of course if you use a mac you are fine, mostly :-)

i work 4 till 130 am on saturday,i dont have yahoo im i have aol im id is goopyguy5

John--Right... Why?

DO NOT USE INSTANT MESSANGERS OF ANY TYPE! THEY ARE BAD, VERY VERY BAD!

Larry, what is your yahoo im id?

Larry-- what do you work Sat. night?

ya...im not going to be able to make it to deadlands tonight,so Dustin dont worry about coming to get me.If you wanna still hang out sometime dustin just stop by.I have sunday off.

Dustin - The same.

Jeremy-- check your e-mail

Caroline: sure Se ya then

Jeremy: Thanks, will have check at next game.

Dustin--Lookie at this article. You mentioned wanting a small set of speakers for music at game. I've got a few spare sets.

Anyone else want a set of speakers for cheapish?

Leon--Available 5, 5:30ish on Th to redo my Deadlands char's stats?

I was realy looking forward to playing deadlands this thursday....BUT,it seems as though my manager scheduled me on thursday so i cant make it unless i find someone to switch me.Most likely i wont be able to make it

need better video card

Man I wish I could over compensate

H-A-M-S-T-E-R

Dance, or in a blender? or perhaps a microwave...

Hamster

Dustin - I'm going to be a bit late to tonight's game. Need to argue with BestBuy regarding a hardware return /exchange for Shatz's system. Aparently that video card is giving him shit, too...

Last time I buy anything from a company called BFG systems...

What about dead ferrets? Are they better or worse than dead weasels (weasels such as Rubbermaid when they cut jobs)? *glad she can't hear John singing*

Dustin--We should fight a zombie weasel. Yeah. :)

John--I'd take a reliable "fast" dial-up (48-53K) over heavily packetshaped and unstable college networks. Especially ones that restrict everyone to one IP address and don't allow any guest access. How are Wooster Novell and email holding up these days? ;)

Matt--I don't know about that....

*singing*

"....I wanna be your dead weasel, I can still be a good pet. Don't flush me down yet. Think of all the good times, think of all the fun that we shared. I can still go thru my habitat, if you tilt it here and there...."

Dead Weasels Rule!

A dead weasel attached to a router is better than dialup.

Leon--It is still better than dialup.

Ah welcome to the dubious joys of dealing with Clear Picture/SSSNet

God I need a new computer

Can't afford one though, which means

God i need a new job :P

Oh yeah my new cable modem is installed, sweet!

Jeremy--Hell yeah I'm trying to compensate! Wasn't much to begin with and since I've been married I hardly ever use it anymore. Of course I'm speaking of my Atari 2600 *snicker*.

Dustin--I feel your pain. My 1.6 P4 laptop at work has become painfully slow.

Matt--You forgot the "I'm fairy bad" sticker! I mean that makes the whole case :) What Battlestar Galactica?

The new Battlestar made a lot of mistakes, particularly in character development. But.

The space combat was cool.

El boxen:

John's old case (Casetronics midsize ATX)
Athlon 2700+ with 333FSB.
Asus 987xVx board with onboard 10/100 LAN, 8 USB 2.0 slots, sound, and digital output
8x AGP with a 64MB Geforce4 (This gets upgraded soon)
512 PC2700 Ram,
60 Gigs HD space (20 and a 40. John is /definently/ compensatin'.)
16x DVD-Rom
42x CD-RW
350w Switching Antex supply.

Dustin: John had the flu today.

From playing on my computer at home, to coming to work this mourning, Ive' noticed one thing, Damn these machines are slow.

John-- can u i m at work?

Silver Bullet (an entry level server case, weighed 45 pounds empty when they shipped it to me)

You sure you're not trying to compensate for something, there? (Says the guy with the 32" VGA in his living room...)

I want a new computer *grumblesighcovet*

Oh yeah and a DVD drive....

Dustin--Your system rules eh? Okay then lets "throw em' up on the table and measure".

Silver Bullet (an entry level server case, weighed 45 pounds empty when they shipped it to me)
P4 2.53 gigahert
built in USB 2.0, as well as firewire
8x AGP slot
256 mb Asylum 8x video card
1 gig of ram
320 gig of HDD space (4 x 80 gig)
52x CD drive
52x CDRW drive
450 watt switching power supply

BooYeah! God I love computers ;-p

John-- You are right about Temple, this game rules when you play it on a descent system, my Machine rules.

Jeremy--My computer is so friggin' fast! Hell yeah!

If you have a decent video card and P4 computer you really need to check out Temple of Elemental Evil. It has a great interface, and uses the 3rd ed. (actually 3.5) rules. I didn't think that they could make a computer game that would be able to take advantage of all of the groovy parts of D & D, but I was wrong. Great game.

Dustin--So have you assembled your new hardware yet? Temple is a million times better when it isn't being played on a slow assed system :-)

*steals Dustin's thunder*
Jeremy & Wayne--Since Dustin's apparently being a lazyass and not posting, he said last night that his D&D game will happen next week because no one cares about Star Wars. Figured you two might like to be informed.

And that's why fanfiction exists: to fill plot holes. *evil grin*

Shatz- A good captain is supposed to do everything in their power to assure the safety of their crew, and especially the lives of the non-military civilian families onboard. A captain is expected to go down with the ship. Or in this case, go down on someone else... Either way...

Jeremy--Good point. A captain should be willing to "take one" for the team once in a while. I mean did Kirk ever deny his duty when it came to the Orion Slave girls, hell no!

Janeway was a frigid bitch. Shit, she had the opportunity to not only rescue the ENTIRE crew- all she had to do was sleep with Q. Hmmn. Tough choice. Risk dooming the entire crew, or give one of the lesser gods a hummer.

I'm positive if the rest of the crew knew about the offer, they'd have fired her out of a torpedo tube.

Yeah, so the entire series would have ended real quick that way. It's still no excuse.

Leon--I'm fairly certain you can post crap. Now if you posted that say Dusting was an ass licking cockmonkey sheep fucker that probably would merit a * or two. Just an observation.

Dustin--How are you doing kemosabe :-)

Jeremy--Do you have an ETA on the parts, I'm losing my computer wood. At my age that is very disturbing :-P

popularity is not equivalent to quality

Exactly. In fact, far too often it seems to be inverse to quality. In other words, don't just blame the marketers, blame the mindless marching morons who keep watching this c**p too.

Caroline--Fan Fiction? Of course I don't look at fan fiction, it isn't cannon. Plus look at Voyagers ratings, there can't be that many fanboys, look at Voyagers ratings!

And what about Janeway? Clearly you've never even peeked at Voyager fanfiction, John, because many many people (both male and female) obsess over those two. ^_^ I never really followed ST beyond Next Gen myself.

Anyhow, for most "new" series (i.e. anything entering production), it doesn't matter what fans actually think. It matters what marketing/advertising thinks that fans (and the general public) think. bah marketing; they will never understand that popularity is not equivalent to quality.

I mean Seven of Nine didn't make Voyager a classic, did it?

It didn't? ... :)

Starbuck is a chick. Boomer is a chick. Cylons are chicks. I'm sorry but your typical scifi fan doesn't think with his penis. I mean Seven of Nine didn't make Voyager a classic, did it? How about a good storyline, and a creative team that doesn't feel the need to "improve" a classic show. Most don't realize it but Battlestar didn't get canceled because of ratings. It was too expensive to make, and at the time couldn't possibly make the network, or studio money. Freakin' scifi channed, what is next Buckarina Rodgers? Bastards.........

Okay I think I'm done.

So are the producers trying to appeal to men or women with the new all-female cast? Because either way, they're failing.

... The Cylons are now chicks. Ugh... http://rn01.rednova.com/news/images/4/2003/12/03/battlestar_galactica_3big_desktop_scifi.jpg

my computer finally cot over its virus...I had to help it blow its nose hear and there but it pulled through..haha im so cool

hmm...i dont know if i can make it in tonight to make a charcater for deadlands.Maybe if i can show up realy early tommorow.

I'll be missing tomorrow's game. Some end-of-the-year psudo-holiday get-together dinner-like substitute...
The 11th I'm not interested in...

So is this comment from this article

No to Star Wars; instead I'll be recovering from finals and moving stuff to break housing. Who's the guest GM anyhow?

Will the session planned for the 11th be moving to the 18th, or until after the holidays? Feel free to run games on Christmas and New Year's, but I'll be out-of-state.

This is funny

all-- My next game session (Dec 11) will be postponed. In its place, a guest Gm is going to be holding a one session only starwars game. He would like a max of six people, post if u are interested. Also he would like to know what erra everyone would like the session to be in.

The Roku HD1000 is a Linux-based PVR/entertainment hub whose manufacturers actually encourage hacking.

*looks toward gadgetboys* I sure can't afford it, but feel free to buy one and tell me whether it works well. According to the specs, it could broadcast anime (or any other audio/video) from a computer to a tv in another room... ;)

Other neat toys are on Wired's list of Gadgets for 2003.

Well, this comic discusses a possible Roman campaign setting. Of course, that setting leaves out most of Roman history by focusing on the cult of Christianity. The Slashdot thread agrees with you that our D&D would be the Roman's equivalent of D20 modern, or even Shadowrun. The Romans did have dungeons and believe in dragons (or at least ghosts, werewolves, and witches) and magic; the real novelty would be the newer weapons.

For some reason, a post on that thread thinks that a certain ancient person was put up on the cross because he "failed his saving throw" and then was resurrected by the GM for "plot reasons". :D

Caroline--I wonder what campagin setting the Romans were playing in? Would D20 modern be our D&D? Huh, really makes you think :-P

The oldest (and most expensive) gaming die ever.

allright ill try to make it in later then on monday if i can get there
