The problem with the \"release valve\" idea is that everything in our body has a physiological process and reason behind it. The argument between dream theorists is \"why\" we dream to begin with - what physiological function does it serve. The idea I agree with is a reorganizati...

I should reiterate that deja vu and dreams are not at all mediated by the same processes. Deja vu is an instantaneous \"malfunction\", if you will, of memory cells overlapping with conscious perception. Dreams, on the other hand, are more of a long-term state of \"unconscious wakefuln...

In my psych studies I've done a bit of research on dreams by field of specialty is neurophysiology so I'll just shed some light on deja vu, which someone mentioned. The neurological cause of deja vu is most likely as a result of memory cells within the brain. When we experience an event, we store as...

This made me giggle: \"Dec [94]: Parallax released the shareware version of Descent. It immediately soared to the top of the Top 100 Internet Game charts.\" I think the only other games I remember seeing online at that time were Doom, Warcraft, and Heretic, which was released at the same t...

I started with D1 I got off a friend in '95 and then got Kali95 that year as well. One of my first online games I ever played was against Scoundrl in Total Chaos 1. He spanked me 10-0 and once I figured out how to type messages, I called him a cheater ...haha! I stopped playing as \"griffin\&qu...

I forgot to mention the Chicken Launcher from Redneck Rampage. Come on now?! A chicken launcher?! HAHA! Oh the fun!

Come to think of it, aside from the legality and a visit from PETA, this would be possible to create.

Wow, those are some nostalgic screenies ...good times for sure.

lol ya, I quit using \"griffin\" on Kali right around the time that the original 1-tier IDL went down ('97?). A few years later I came back on Kali as d0ggY until '01 when I retired for good. Wow, I can't believe it's been 7 years since I last played - seems like only yesterday that we wer...

It definitely wasn't Cases. As far as I can remember, there were the following (in rough chronology): 1. Official Descent Ladder 2. Original 1-tier IDL 3. Cases (which then split into D1 and D2) 4. Two-Tier IDL 5. At some point here, there was a Kahn ladder set-up 6. UDL (Ultimate Descent Ladder) An...

I didn't bother to read everything posted but I did notice the arguments regarding the \"oldest\" clan. The answer is actually a bit more complicated. The PPG were never a \"clan\" and made it quite blunt that they did not want to be associated as one. However, it *was* a very ti...
