I said I wouldn't derail the thread again - but since you asked: Abacus is fine too. Still big in China, which seems to be doing okay in the math department. Nobody should be using calculators or CAS to learn math - slide rules, log tables, abacus, pen & paper: all good. Calculator...

Last derail on this. But if you want your eyes to bleed for a reason other than Ebola here's a link to a Texas High School Slide Rule Competitive Mathematics Test from the early 70s. Early problems could probably be solved as quickly or quicker with a calculator than a slide rule but by...

For those who don't know what a log-log ruler can look like ->

You say that like slide rules are weaksauce. There is a direct relationship to the decline of American High School math scores and the introduction of the cheap electronic calculator. We should junk calculators for High School math and force the kids to use log-log slide rulers - gives...

For better or worse, best memories were of Vanguard. I had already been accepted into law school when EQ came out so I knew I couldn't get hooked and stayed away for the better part of three years except for the occasional "playing a friend's alt account like a newb when visiting scenario."...

Life is full of hard choices Keg.

Eliminate one name from the pair: Araysar Zyyzyzzy Fanaskin Abebisi Luminati Gavinrad - I'm rooting for you buddy! lurkingdirk Iannis TJ Lazer Duppin Oneofone - feels wrong to vote for myself Sean Screamfeeder - neither but Screamfeeder wants it more...

Also this.

You've got a bet on Araysar with a Vegas bookie.

Final Four: Me, Araysar, a_skeleton_03, Gavinrad. Also my bracket with Duppin, a_skeleton_03 with Dumar and Gavinrad with Chaos/Lurkingdirk is far harder than Araysar's.

Lum and Antony. Meh on the others.

Alpha signups on the site. Link gave me a reply in Chinese so no idea if I managed to sign up for the NA Alpha or not.

Is there a No Bush?

Pirates. Fuck yeah! Annoying it's been in a year since the Trion announcement and no beta in sight.

Pretty damn good. I need to rewatch.

Too much Slash!

In the episode at grandpas, the girls are out on the lake they're fishing or wtf. Maise says something like "lets ask grandpa for help", Audry immediately replies something like "Not grandpa". Maise asks for help from grandpa anyway. So yeah he's a pedophile, only question is whether he is...

27 dead in knife attack at SW China train station Fuck gun control. We need knife control. Stat.

For you buddy, the world.

I don't give a fuck what you or the rest of the Aryasar idiot brigade thinks, I do however get annoyed that y'all fuckers shit up every thread, all the time. Classic liberal bullshit - yell something loud enough and long enough until the other side says fuck it and gets a beer.

Good to see all of the libtard philosphers at rerolled in a thread again trying to pile on the bullshit. It's a TV show you dipshit, get a fucking life.

Welcome to rerolled.

Then of course there is an alternative theory that they let Rust into the cult precisely because they knew who he was, what he'd done and saw a kindred spirit. Don't close your mind like Araysar, you're better than that Beagle old chum.

Still haven't gotten that beer have you? Keep on like this and you're going to have a stroke.

What's really sad is I had to look up brony.. Been years since the fohguild my little pony thread. Anyway Araysar and Alex are probably right, for ten years Rust probably just sat on his ass (except for the odd B&E in 2010).

Someone once told me time is a flat circle. Everything we've ever done or will do, we're gonna do over and over and over again.

Another fan

You're starting to sound like a company man Araysar.

Chillaxe buddy. You're getting a little worked up. Hop on down to the five and dime and grab some Lone Star.

Thus the drastic change in looks. He isn't going to solve it from the outside.

You are right 2012 Rust and 2002 Rust look exactly the same; and it's not like he had any undercover experience in his past. My bad.

Well, I'm guessing right now that between 2002-2012 Rust went undercover to infiltrate the cult that's behind the murders and what he did/saw during that time knocked him over the edge and right now he's got just enough sanity left to see the case through.

This show makes drinking look necessary.

Bah. It's been a years since Trion announced. I know they have financial issues but come on Hartsman.

Mara was okay in The Shooter (the only thing I can remember her in) but I've never thought of her as super hot. Alba wasn't bad in Sin City, but yeah in FF she was her usual self.

Adopted black brother is fine (adopted siblings of different races actually exist in real life - OMG) however overall the casting is completely WTF. I can't believe the Variety picture hasn't been linked on this thread - at least Jessica Alba was hot in the first FF4. Mara not so much.

MySpace was the best. Facebook is some 2004 era Naziesque blue and white mod bullshit.

I think this is the only time I've ever agreed with Skanda. Quite the premature ejaculation taking it out of MMORPG today and should have gone to MMORPG HOF not the Shaw in any event.

I wasn't talking about the substance but the professional presentation or rather the lack thereof. The Suddenly Shaman Dwarves comment should have been the give away. The talent trees comment was more obscure as it harkens back to Brad's early comments about the game, particularly in this thread.

It's dead, and even if it weren't I lost interest with the talent trees, Dark Knight and Suddenly Shaman Dwarves. This is not the game we were looking for, the game we are looking for will be made by a brash Austin based team looking to mine gold from retro gaming. Or something like that.
