  • TradeWars: Rising! This was a text based game so so long ago... and now they've revived it! Yay!
  • Oh my god, Jake... that game is impossible.
  • Bruce... don't go, man. We still have to have our road trip across America! There's still Uni to complete, more artistic human expression to experience... don't do it, please.
  • This would be totally awesome... if it worked right on my computer. It runs fine at first. The program icon I'm opening shows up, the music plays, everything, just as it should... And then it happens again with RUNDLL32. Again...and...again...and...again... It doesn't stop until I either cancel the effect or restart my…
  • Part 2: Also, hints of an army united in religion as well as nationality are present in "The Battle of Maldon". First is a speech in which Byrhthnoth identifies the vikings as “hæþene [heathens]” (55a). The Vikings, already alienated through their nationality, are further identified as enemies through their…
  • Today shall be the day that the Old English thread is revived! And since I've kept you all away from this hallowed knowledge for so long, I'm going to give you a real treat... my paper! Yes, as soon as it's completed today, I'll post my paper in this forum and you all shall revel in the glory of knowledge-making! EDIT:…
  • (Procrastinating!!) I don't think you'll ruin your chances at grad school in the first semester. There's always time to bring up your grades during the rest of your four years. But work really hard for your remaining 7 semesters!! And, of course, usually getting into grad school is as much about the work you've produced in…
  • BLAARRGH PAPERS. I finished my first paper this morning (finally). It's ready to be sent out. I spent most of yesterday going through sources, making notes, and outlining my other paper. Now I have it outlined and I've written about a page... BLARG. I'm doing okay on time, it's not due until tomorrow, but BLARGH I'VE BEEN…
  • Must.....not.....become.....Grammar.....Police..... And seriously, Scott is right. There's nothing WRONG with an iPod. If people want a certain aesthetic look in their MP3 player, why yell at them for it? Also, it may not be any better than other MP3 players, but depending on the environment you use it in you may prefer it…
  • Huh. I had always thought they were really loose in their order. But that was just from hearsay... I've only read one book.
  • I don't know about House of Leaves, but the first Discworld book is 'The Colour of Magic' and the second is 'The Light Fantastic'. Though, they're not really in strict chronological order.
  • I've only read 'Thud!', but I enjoyed it. You also might look for his collaboration with Neil Gaiman, 'Good Omens'. Also, House of Leaves. I haven't read it yet, but I've heard nothing but good things about it.
  • There's a new Castlevania game out for DS... Order of Ecclesia. It's supposed to be pretty sweet.
  • As with the other thread... too much homework... sorry for no funny picture. Happy Birthday, though!
  • Alas, I found no funny pictures for your birthday... mostly because I spent yesterday teaching, attending class, and studying for my quiz. Blarg. Happy Birthday anyway!
  • Now I don't want to exclude anyone, but I think (and others might disagree) that this meeting should only involve people over 18. The only reason is because none of us want to have some huge misunderstanding and end up having to deal with angry parents or police or anything. It's a legal matter really... what do you all…
  • Greetings. =) Welcome to the forum!
  • I would certainly like to get in on this, and I think mid to end August will be just fine. I think school doesn't start for me until the beginning of September. As for location, there's a good possibility Megan and I would go to California, it's a place neither of us has been, so it would be a good vacation destination. I…
  • I don't think it is, no. But if you're wanting to play the original before the sequel, you should start with 'Mother' for NES. I would recommend an Emulator for both Mother and Earthbound.
  • Perhaps I'll have to try that after all my work for the semester is done...
  • AWESOME!!! After consulting with Megan, I hope to pre-order that mother today. I can't WAIT!!
  • Well.... calling it a holiday is a loaded move. By labeling it thus, you're opening it up to all kinds of scrutiny that may not be relevant. I don't really think Black Friday is a holiday like the rest of our holidays. Holidays are generally meant to be days where we celebrate something. Black Friday is an arbitrary day…
  • Eh, I support supporting the people who are trying to support themselves with this work. Am I paying a lot? Perhaps. Is my money going (even indirectly) to the people who put their sweat and blood into these products? Yes. That's what I care about the most.
  • That's illegal, isn't it? And how many people have the tools and knowledge to rip a movie from cable and burn it onto a DVD? And what about video games?
  • Yeah, but the only reason you were able to purchase those DVDs in the first place, Jeff, was because someone else did. You're benefiting because someone else went along with the system. If we were to try to actually reform the system by boycotting all DVDs, there wouldn't be that access point, so we need to ask ourselves…
  • Right. You're not just paying for a manufactured disc of plastic, you're paying for the creative energies that went into producing that particular product and anyone else who touched it.
  • I also have no fun pictures to share, but Happy Birthday anyway!
  • That ball is conveniently close. Flop up and smack the top of the laser so it points at the ball!
  • That certainly IS something to be thankful for.
