Now I'll know never to enter a bathroom without first checking for Emus.

I've never even heard of \"There Will Be Blood.\"

Firewheel

It was flippin' awesome, probably the best monster movie I've ever seen. Definitely lived up to the hype.

I didn't think it was very bloody, though.

Firewheel

That's my point exactly; without an interpretation by a Muslim scholar (of course, even their scholars disagree on these things), it would be a mistake for me to make my own conclusions about what their scriptures mean. I've seen how badly Biblical scripture can be mis-interpreted by those who deci...

Since Roid seems to have copypasted Mona, which is a 2ch creation, that would explain the Japanese font. A lot of the characters used are Japanese, which is why it won't show up right on some folks' computers.

Theoretical Ideal Candidate - 100% John McCain - 72% Alan Keyes - 72% Newt Gingrich - 71% Mitt Romney - 68% Hm. Maybe I should check out John McCain more closely? It's too bad Colbert couldn't run. I have yet to meet a person who doesn't like him - conservative, liberal, etc. That's some serious cro...

Seconded. I never played him online (as far as I can remember), but Ingus is one of the greatest posters in the history of the DBB, and maybe the internet.

I don't think he's racist, just crazy.

I'd say the only exception to the very-intelligent trend here is the Japanese guy that comes by here every so often. But that's not really his fault, as he isn't fluent in English. Who the heck is this? Most of us are older, and have been on this forum and part of the Descent community a long time....

I knew someone was missing from here... Guess it's Will.

Funny thing is, my Dad's name can be rendered as Will Robinson. It's probably not him, though, I don't think he's ever heard of the DBB.

Even though I'm a guitarist, I love songs with good bass parts. I've never been a huge fan of show-off stuff, though - I tend to enjoy really melodic bass playing the most. Lots of progressive rock bands have had prominent bass parts, like Yes (this is a cover, but I chose it because you can clearly...

I've never seen the appeal of MMORPGs. Gimme Dragon Quest anyday!

Firewheel

I find it humorous that both Christians and atheists are upset about the movie.

I'm playing through the single player campaign on D2X-XL, and the bonuses for each level seem to give me a random number in the billions or trillions, negative or positive. One level I'll have 8,755,468,732 points, and the next, -442,746,789,067. Is it supposed to be doing this?

Firewheel

I enjoyed Entropy 2, but Obsidian was so hard, if I remember correctly, that I never beat all of it. After I beat the main D2 campaign and Vertigo missions I'll give it another try.

Firewheel

Back in the good 'ol days of D2 gaming, Project Mandrill (Razor/Kyouryuu) and Entropy Experiment 2 (Luke Schneider?) were the ones to beat. What are your favorites?

I've been \"out\" of the Descent gaming loop for a while; have there been any good D2 campaigns made in the past few years?

Firewheel

I've only beaten D1 and D2 on Hotshot. I dunno if I'm good enough for Insane; I tried playing the first few levels of D2 on it a few days ago, and it was so unfun that I decided to replay it on Hotshot instead. I really want to beat D1 (or maybe the Vertigo missions, for the ultimate challenge) on I...

I played paintball once. I hated it. About I managed to do was get really sweaty under all the stupid \"protective\" gear, and shoot one of my own teammates.

The new method is far easier and probably less expensive in comparison to embryonic stem cells. Basically, everybody wins, but I'm sure that even if it's the discovery of the century, there will still be people whining about it.

Firewheel

I finally got Descent II (D2X-XL) to run on my iBook, but how do I get my joystick (Sidewinder Precision Pro II) to work with it? I can't find any drivers and there doesn't appear to be any \"game devices\" control on OSX. Any ideas?

Firewheel

I'm a Mac user, but not a Mac fanatic as most tend to be.

Firewheel

I find it highly ironic that an atheist is resorting to appeal to emotion. I thought that's what Christians were supposed to do?!

HDTV seems nice, but not worth (to me) the price you have to pay for fancy service. Now, if they added Space Shower TV and Viewsic, I might change my mind...

No way. The champ himself?

If I recall correctly, there was a Futurama episode about this.

Firewheel

Heh. Tektonics is great. I was just about to post that.

Firewheel

Yuck. I swore off Atlanta's mediocre radio stations once I got a car stereo that lets me use my iPod in the car.

Firewheel

Heh. Kinda reminds me of Kent Hovind.

I guess you pretty much have to use a playlist with Winamp. I always hated having to add and delete stuff into the player when I wanted to listen to something. I much prefer the library on iTunes.

Firewheel

I've never understood how people have enough time to listen to dozens of gigs of music. Even worse, it's always shuffled! I almost always listen to whole albums - the way the artist intended for their music to be heard. Of course, some bands just don't craft very good albums, but I don't listen to t...

I'm just under 6'4\", and I weighed about 160 lbs or so, last time I checked. I've always been really skinny, but in recent months I've been working hard to develop good eating habits later in life so I can stay nice and thin.

Firewheel

Very interesting read. Thanks.

Firewheel

Oh snap. I had almost managed to forget about Rican.

I don't remember what Sup or Sirian did, though.

Which Freespace 2 mission was that? I don't recall anything particularly scary from that game...

Firewheel

That was crazy! However, the most stunning gaming achievement I've ever witnessed has to be this. And of course, it's another Japanese guy... why does Japan have all of these superhuman gamers, anyway?!

Firewheel

Mobius doesn't exactly post a lot these days, anyway. And really, who misses him?

Firewheel

I think the Christian religion, as a whole, has done an incredibly POOR job of understanding their text, which led to many of those blunders in the first place. We don't so much need to "modernize" or "rationalize" (ie, ignore the text and replace it with modern ideals and then ...
