They may run hotter, but they're designed to work that way. Ironically, the only person in my rather hot (in the summer time) apartment that ever has heating issues is my roommate and his P4.

Yup yup. Masters of the Universe. Had a young Courtney Cox in it as well.

Was still reading the thread. When you make a boondoggle like that though, it sort of brings into question your understanding of exactly what's going on in Iraq though. Hard to take you seriously. Also interesting that you criticize others for looking only through "US-coloured" glasses, then continue to post "references" from a single source. When you can start corroborating evidence, it tends to strengthen your argument. When you use a single reference, that has an agenda which supports your claims, your arguments tend to lose weight. Back to the topic, don't know if anyone else heard and can confirm this, but my roommate mentioned that there are political parties running in the Iraq elections that have it in their mandate to remove U.S. forces. I also remember seeing something about an Islamic fundamentalist political party running. It was also a day that saw the least amount resistance fighting, with insurgent groups stating that they will not attack polling stations. There was also such a turnout that they ended up keeping the polls open for an extra hour just to get the people in. I don't know, but it doesn't exactly sound like things are as bad over there as many seem to be making it out to be. Unless the liberal media in Canada is unabashedly pro-US wearing their "US-colored" glasses. To be honest Battlewookie, it sounds like you've been brainwashed just as badly as the soldiers you criticize.

Man, you're full of it. Tell you what. Walk into work tomorrow and inform your boss that you're not filing the TPS reports because you have a free mind and will, and are not a slave. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Uh, you do know that there's a new procedure for filing the TPS reports right? Did you get the memo? I'll send you another one.

Bzzzt. Wrong answer Hans. Would you like to try Double Jeopardy where the scores can really change? The U.N. Sanctions on Iraq were imposed in 1991.

It does! I'm looking forward to Monday's game! Good luck!

I've grown to use Wikipedia more and more.

My soldier's name is alanschu, so don't worry.

A game like Quake IV might be up your alley. From what I've heard from Quake fans, it's good old fashioned quake goodness.

Goooo Oilers! Nice work not giving up! As for Penguin relocation, if they move to Houston, then Columbus would probably move into the Eastern Conference.

Cliches are great. I live in an igloo, and they think I'm slow..eh.

RIP is the Ranger Indoctrination Program which is a 3 week assessment that shows if you will have what it takes to move on to a Ranger battalion and start working your way to Ranger School. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Is it just me, or did anyone else get goosebumps seeing the word "indoctrination" in there? Good on you, seems to be something you are happy with

Ethan is playing like a crazyman. I'm glad too, because it seemed a lot of people wanted to run him out of town at the beginning of the season because he was getting a ton of penalties.

And that's on realistic? Doesn't really look it from what I see, and keep getting tranqued all the time is just having a death-wish (even on easy, but it seems like you had one) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yup, it's on realistic. Are you sure you aren't confusing the tranquilizer with assorted plasma shots? Maybe the spit of the grekin (sp) thingy in the sewers does initial damage? I'd show you it from the start, but FRAPS only lets me do 30 seconds of film.

Blah, let me get the expansion and I'll probably be on sometime in the future. I just finished my last exam.

Agree with Volourn on this one.

Ethan Moreau with a lazer beam for the GWG. Go Oil!

I just ran up and let some dude with a tranquilizer shoot me. Here's a video: test.wmv

I've played the demo of FEAR, but that was a while ago. What sort of AI differences existed in that game?

My bad on the pistol shots. Headshots do seem to kill, at least from close range. Though I could take a body shot. However, I took zero damage from the impact of the tranquilizer darts. I had to let it drain my health away.

I will go and test this right now.

I figured I'd join Kor Qel Droma up here in the igloos

Can't the OE guys play over the LAN? I'm surprised there's lag issues. Though I have no idea what it takes to host numerous people on those games though. I haven't looked at the server yet, but perhaps a switch to 16 players if it hasn't already been done? I tend to prefer the smaller maps anyways as it's more infantry mayhem, which I find the most fun :D Exams will be over tomorrow, so hopefully I'll find a way to introduce you to my friend Mr. Abrams :D

AIIIIEEEE!!!

Need more resources for better AI. Unfortunately they're going towards graphics I remember the Electronic Arts representative that spoke at my school mentioned that with the upcoming generation of games they expect, as a percentage of total resources, the amount allocated towards AI to go DOWN. Now this still means an absolute increase, as there's more total resources to go around. But it's still disheartening
