I don't mean to make all your musings seem inconsequential, but I shall, anyway. " My university had the second worldwide computer installation: it used punch cards for I/O! My first computer (that I used) was a Challenger IP, which had 1kB of RAM (the expanded model had a massive 4kB): I wrote a scorching top-scrolling game I called Lazer Zap for it (a friend of mine tried to write Donkey Kong, but he ran out of memory even though he was writing it in Assembly); good old audio tapes for backup ... my first computer was a bright, shiny, new Apple //e (64kB of RAM, including the whizzy 16kB language card) on which I played a ported version of the earliest Star Trek text-for-graphics game (warping around a grid of sixteen galactic coordinates and impulsing around the squares to kill Klingons and pillage planets) ...

So you didn't replace your old man with a new one?

You're forgetting that the US is a federated Union of States: the individual member states aren't too pleased to cede any authority to the Federal government ...

The man that Kirrotu changed to ...

Homer loves Mindy / Homer loves Mindy ... As long as they have an equivalent satire of their society, I don't see the problem. What makes The Simpsons great is the social satire, not the beer, bacon and burping. (Well, maybe the burping ...)

Mao Zedong had the right idea: up against the wall. "

What's his name?

Trust me. And don't trust the Alliance.

It is a cute puppy. Is the puppy being nominated for Supreme Court Justice?

Ahhh, but the real question is: does Gabs date a half-mindflayer dire-chimp nutsack?

... And Ultima ][. "

Yes.

roshan, please find your old keyboard as I am having trouble re-encrypting your posts ...

Limited game mechanic. I wanted to kill the Force, but there was no option in the dialogue to agree with Kreia ... We-eeeeeeeeeeeeeell, technically the sabres weren't henchmen, they were more like a K2 hommag

*sings* 'cause you don't always get what you want / you get what you nee-eeeeeeeeeeeed ...

You need new Ban-Spam goggles. A must for denizens and visitors alike!

Maybe the mods are dyslexic, and they have (collectively) read their job title as gods, and they are trying to carry out Greek tragedy-type work on the fora ...?

:angry: I personally loved all three series of games. At the moment though, I think Starcraft II is the one most in need of a sequ[e]l ... we haven't seen a continuation for almost seven years! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'd wouldn't get my hopes up too high for a sequel that has taken longer than Duke Nukem Forever ...
