What did you want to be?
As a child I wanted to be a race car driver, fireman, astronaut, all the exciting stuff. Now I sell and provide technical support for FFT analyzers and sound level meters. Which, as you can imagine, is not at all exciting stuff.

How do you use two d10's for a d100? I figure the probability is each die will land on a single digit number then you take each number and combine them to make a percentile right? (EG: roll 1 = 7, roll 2 = 5, total = 75) But what if you roll one or two 10's?- Saving Private Ryan
I just wiki it and you are correct. Well, insofar as modern HEAT rounds. I couldnt find anything about HEAT rounds of the WWII era but its probably the same.- Saving Private Ryan
It would have to be a one-in-a-million shot, perfectly centered in the tank barrel to strike the shell diretly on the detonator. In that scenario, not only would the barrel be ruined but the entire turret would blow off like a champagne cork. The junction where the barrel meets the turret meets the chassis is a weak point on tanks.- Which Polyhedral Are You?
- How is this for an NWN2 campaign concept?
I think thats a great concept and I very much like the idea of doing away with "morality", especially in this gameworld you propose. BTW, the linked pic produces a "certificate error" in IE7.- LOST
Hehe, I had a similar idea almost a year ago. @Pope: Nope, not a flashback and an excellent episode.- My exercise regime
^If you ever get the chance you should watch the Nathans Hotdog Eating Contest. There is this 150Lb Japanese fellow named Kobayashi that can pound down, IIRC, 52 footlong hotdogs w/ bun in 12 minutes. Its freaking amazing.- Last Drink You Had?
Sheesh, thats gotta be like rocket fuel for humans.- How was the next day?
Yowza! Student loans?- Last Drink You Had?
Mmmm, espresso. Only thing Ive found stronger is Cuban coffee they sell in Miami and comes in these dinky little cups. Im not a huge fan of coffee but my lady is getting me hooked on Venti (extra large) Mocha Frappaccino with whip (whipped cream) & drizzle (chocolate syrup). And yes, you have to say that whole spiel when ordering. *Parenthesis = meaning of the previous word.- Worst Camera Ever?
For me I think the worst part wasnt necessarily the camera itself but a combination of the assinine default movement keys being the arrow keys (why wouldnt those be the most common form, WASD?) and the mouse controlling the camera. It made, for me, a very awkward experience to move, then futz with the camera to get a good view, then have to re-adjust because your guy ran across the map, all the while with my hands almost feeling like they are crossed on the keyboard. You know, maybe that was it. Unlike other games where your group pretty much stays in one small region, NWN2 has your party all over the damn place which contstantly requires you to screw with the camera every time you click on an NPC to see wtf they are doing. You once explained to me that all that could be re-mapped but I never did before losing interest in the game.- New Future Gamer in the world
*crosses Gfted1 off the baby sitting list* Fascinating. LOL! Maybe I wasnt clear enough. I didnt mean to pull the nails out at the cuticle, I mean the part that overhangs (that you normally clip) is soft enough to simply tear. That's better. Your original post on the topic was cringe-worthy. Thanks for clarifying; I was thinking you were pretty sadistic for a while there. I still don't think I could tear off part of a baby's fingernail, but I could imagine that once you start dealing with human excrement a few times a day, your perspective changes on many things. OY, does it ever. Nothing will toughen up your gross out factor faster then changing poopy diapers for a year. Especially when they go on solid food and the stink kicks in (baby poop is mostly odorless while on milk/formula).- Worst Camera Ever?
Same for me. Admittedly, I havent played the game since two weeks after it came out (although I dutifully patch it every time a new one comes out ) so it might be ok-ish now. I also hate first person.- New Future Gamer in the world

*Dr Walsh* Could you be developing a lactose intolerance? I think he meant he's drinking the milk to sooth his stomach. BTW, almost everyone over 5 yo is lactose intolerant.- TV: Heroes
Time travel always screws me up but let me restate my confusion. In the original timeline Sylar did not kill Claire, Peter saved her at the highschool pep rally. We even see at the end of this episode (just before confronting Peter) that Matt delivers Claire to Sylar where he commences to eat her brain, so we know she survived both timelines until that point.- New Future Gamer in the world
^Hehe, you probably already figured this out but baby nails are so soft you can just tear them off.- How was the next day?
Did she do that because of the treatment for her illness? Ive seen people do that before for that reason. Not the eyebrows mind you but eh, she was showing you a thing or two.- Blondes vs Brunettes Reloaded
Blondes, hands down. And platnium blondes are even better. Never date a redhead. Every single one of themare crazy. Yes, every one.- TV: Heroes
Agreed. Awesome episode. So, if it was actually Peter who went nova, why does future Hiro think it was Sylar? He was there trying to kill what looked like Sylar but Peter doesnt have the ability to look like others. Also, while it looks cool, why didnt Peters scar heal?- Last Drink You Had?
Translation please. Vodka and orange. Orange juice has to have the pulp. Why do they put mango with orange? Babel Fish says Oolong tea. - Which Polyhedral Are You?
