    MS DOS Games

    My very first MMO experience was Sierra's The Realm. (2x) Such an immersive gaming experience. Really paved the way on my path to EverQuest.

    Winter 2015 Anime Thread

    So I caught up with Parasyte. The chick with the ear muffs was definitely the cute one of the group. Stupid, but cute. She was going to be a goer also, if she didn't go and fuck it up by being dumb. Poor Izumi. He now suffers for her being dumb.

    Ant Man. July 2015

    No no... he's a normal sized guy that porportionally scales up and down. If you're 6 foot tall, you weigh around 185 lbs and can lift 100 without too much trouble. Even as a weakling. Scale that up 10 times and he's now 60 feet and weighs substantially more than 1,850 lbs. I don't know the...

    I've liked pretty much everything I've seen her in. The ones that instantly pop into my head being Seven Pounds and Clerks II (I'm a Kevin Smith nerd). Going through her IMDB, she's been in a ton of movies though. And wow, her acting debut back in that old NC-17 movie, Kids. Spoilered due...

    The Birdman (Michael Keaton!)

    It's Oscar season. Everyone with a SAG card is allowed to vote, even people that just handle lighting. They ALL get screener DVD copies of all these movies. As a result, they make it to the internet. Always around Oscar season.

    Ant Man. July 2015

    His strength changes based on his size. If you're 60 feet tall, you need the strength to move around normally at that size. As a result, he can pick up people as if they were toys. And cars are still heavy, but he can lift them as well. It's all proportional.

    Health Problems

    That's not bad. In the past, I used to occasionally use very small vials of a medicine called H.P. Acthar Gel. Each vial was good for 5 days worth of treatment, and they cost around $8000 per vial. However, copay would take it down to $100, then copay assistance would drop that down to $10...

    Haha, I suck then. I usually ignore the title of a show because that doesn't always tell you much about it. So if people have suggestions, I'm all for them. FINALLY got around to watching Parasyte. Really good so far. I'm on episode 6 now and the kid just got back from the hospital with...

    The instructions said to use 7 different locations, and to change them every day. Right/Left shoulder, Right/Left thigh, Right/Left "love handles", belly. Copaxone actually destroys fat tissue, so people whom always do it in their belly get thinner as a result, but they're doing damage to...

    In other news, both Myst and Riven no longer play on modern day computers. Oh well. My friends and I used to do modem matches in Command and Conquer: Red Alert, back in High School. The original red alert.

    Does Shelly have MS? I've taken Copaxone in the past for my own MS treatment. After a little over a year, I had an EXTREMELY bad experience with the medication that made me feel like I was dieing and had to go off of it. Copaxone is a sub cutaneous injection, meaning that it's injected...

    Duke Nukem 3D. That game will always have a soft spot in my heart. Having said that, I doubt I'll ever touch the "new" Duke Nukem from a few years ago.

The episodes will be remastered for the screenings and are set to appear late this month from...

    With how much a studio typically spends on movies, they would definitely have the budget to recreate the town again. But yeah... it's a shame, this series was awesome. Cocksuckers.

    Went to Best Buy last night. Sold out of Infamous. Oh well, I'll call a different store today and see if I'll get lucky. I saw an 80" Samsung Flex UHD tv yesterday and it was beautiful. I liked the picture (with richer blacks) on the LG OLED tv better though. I can't wait to see these new...

    We got a chance to work on this coat rack project again last night. As of now, the remaining stained boards have been hung on the wall. My wife is still painting the top board/trim pieces (white) and they'll be attached once all the paint has dried.

    It's a combination interior/exterior (kind of). I'm in a town house, which is the suburbs way of saying Row Home. That wall (with cinder block immediately behind drywall and a 1x3) is what separates my neighbors house from my own. So yeah, there isn't much room to work. As far as a shoe...

    My wife and I watched this a few months back. The village that the girl and her kids moved to is very similar to the place in Yamagata that her grandparents live (They're farmers). We both really enjoyed the movie, and my wife cried at the end when a decision was made (that should be vague...

    I'll show you what she's accomplishing. Very very slowly. The issue is the front door opens up to where this coat rack is mounted, so it has to be extremely thin (like attached to the wall) or else it will interfere with the door. Here's what we had, and here's what she's started to work...

    My wife saw some design online for a "neat looking" coat rack that's attached to the wall. We've had a set of hooks right by our front door ever since we bought this house, but now she wants to change things up. I went ahead and took a picture of the old, and I'll get a picture of the new once...

    Fall 2014 Anime Thread

    Around what episode do you swap over, and what episode is it on FMA:B? That might be a good idea. Only thing I really didn't like about the original FMA was how long that stupid sun priest (dead bird) arc went. Why does a lame arc like that require 2 episodes? PASS!

    What was the crappiest computer that could run EQ 1999-2000?

    I remember that half way during classic, I upgraded the original audio card (maybe even onboard) to a new Sound Blaster. All of the sudden the game went from sounding like something from the NES to actually having instruments that you could hear. I was blown away by how much better the loading...

    I felt that the Nina arc in the original FMA was a lot worse than it was in FMA:B. Maybe it's because I was expecting it in Brotherhood, but it seemed a little more rushed.
