At this point I'd say Mikhail, at least Fanaskin disappears for a while to his secret underground lair.

Wait, I thought mexican people were "white" but mexican was just their culture. I don't think it has as much to do with race as culture.

This thread is now about racism? Or maybe it's about how guns can stop racism. I can see them being useful in that regards I suppose. Although owning a gun, I can feel it slowly turning me into a bad person. The inherent evil of owning a weapon seeps into my skin and corrupts my brain.

What has the internet ever done to you!!

I liked how old rpg's would have in game maps that were poorly drawn, had missing information, or were flat out incorrect. Nothing like running into a dungeon all happy like "aha, I got the map!!11!" then 20 minutes later figuring out that the map is complete bull shit and you're lost.

Maybe you could get some weight gain formula from a body building store?

I just started Wizardry 6. The Cosmic Forge will be mine!!

Here is a pretty decent guide to DOSbox keymapping that you can add to the OP. http://www.dosbox.com/DOSBoxManual.html#KeyMapper I was poking around on some old games today and it's really simple to get your controller to work just hit ctrl F1 when you first start Dos Box and it loads...

This isn't a representative sample by any means. A quick good search turned this up though. http://www.cdispatch.com/news/articl...47&TRID=1&TID= Florida released 89 terminally ill inmates. Most died within 4 months. 18 were still alive and 8 got sent back to prison for offending again.

In a way, I think life in prison can be worse than death. The way our justice system works though, the 12 random retards in charge of determining guilt have been wrong in the past and will be wrong in the future.

I doubt all the facts in the story are accurate, but just getting shot in the head isn't a death sentence depending on where / how you are shot. I like how at the bottom how they are pushing statistics (questionable in my mind) that owning guns makes you less safe.

+1 for owning guns. Georgia mom shoots home intruder in the face five times with a .38-caliber revolver http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nati...ors_picks=true

I don't think it recognizes the band name (I even tried going Amon Amarth to Amon Amarth). Which is odd. It doesn't recognize Amon Amarth or Tool but I can pull up obscure bulgarian disco bands. Pro Tip: Nothing annoys people like Bulgarian Disco.

Beethoven to Queen is 36 songs.

Prepare your body for the pinnacle of gaming achievement. Once you have witnessed the greatness of this game you will never be the same!!

The speed with which information can be collected, formatted, and disseminated these days is one factor affecting any game with the "old school style" set up. There would only be a short window of a few months (or maybe a few weeks depending on the size of the game) until everything is figured...

Why doesn't he get a job as a chinese gold farmer. Yes, I went there *snap*

I think looking at the way the eq progression servers unfolded would give some insight into the type of gaming experience that would emerge in an old school style mmo released in today's market.

Wow... That was a huge ass post by qwerty and he still managed to avoid giving a single reason why EQ would work today or how any of it's game system would deal with the problems that lead to the implementations of modern games.

I explained my opinion about why scale mattered when setting up an old school style mmo in my post, you must have missed it. It might not be entirely right (I don't consider myself infallible like you do), but it's certainly more thought out than "it worked in the past, it has to work now!"...

What works on a small scale doesn't necessarily work on a larger scale. This isn't about 200 players or even five thousand players. This would be about a game being made that can accommodate large amounts of players without turning into a shit fest. Bring up as many small scale gaming...

EQMac or any smaller game "works" because it's not new. People aren't flooding the servers to get in and dominate. A game designed to be niche and not to be massive could work. Anything that has intense interest from tens or hundreds of thousands of players will turn into a shit fest fast...

We need to find an island country somewhere and get them to make all forms of performance enhancing drugs legal. Then set up PPV channel / website where you can watch super human athletes accomplish unimaginable feats of athletic prowess.

EQ1's design would make for a horrible game today. The reason it worked so well back in the day was the internet / technology / and online gamers were different. I know it's shocking to think that things might change over time but that's pretty much what it comes down too. The reason games...

What we need is a reality television show based on "hardcore" online game players. (please god no *facepalm*) why is there no facepalm smiley?

I'm skeptical also. That link I provided is the best description of the phenomenon I could find so far. If (that's an if) this pans out looks like perpetual motion. I'm sure detractors will pop up in a few days once they have had a chance to go over all the information. It probably is...

Was that guy trying to suicide by cop or what? What an odd stand off, I don't know why she didn't just shoot him. Idk if any of the implies a defacto ban. Maybe if there was a statistic on how often people were rejected for licenses and the reasons given for that rejection? If the reason...

Wouldn't this conflict with the second law of thermodynamics? Entropy never decreases? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_...thermodynamics I'm confused but whatever, negative temp woo woo. Does that mean perpetual motion machines? edit.. here is a better description of what...

Pfft, Stainless Steel mod or BGR Westeros Total war (game of thrones) is fun too.

I wasn't talking about any of the recent races. I'm not a huge cycling fan or anything. I wasn't referring to drug testing now being an empty symbolic gesture, I was referring to doing it in regards to decades old tests. Those races are long since gone and past to me at least. It might bother...

This. It's really an empty symbolic gesture but I don't blame them for pursuing it. Although some of their tactics over the years have seemed rather draconian.

Sounds like a quote from the turn of the century (1900's) comedian W.C. Fields "I spent half my money on liquor, gambling, and wild women. The rest I wasted". Guy has some decent one liners.

I think I'll wait until the show ends and then check back here to see if it's worth watching.
