That's not entirely the reason he left. That was the final straw, yes, but he left primarily because he was tired of debating the same shit over and over and over again. |
|
We are human nature incarnate. One day he will return. "…a four-dimensional real vector space equipped with a nondegenerate, symmetric bilinear form."
|
|
He might but his reasons for leaving are completely valid. This place is very stagnant. |
|
We've done the "This place is stagnant" bit too many times before. |
|
Haha yeah, exactly. "…a four-dimensional real vector space equipped with a nondegenerate, symmetric bilinear form."

#18 by Warren Marshall That's not entirely the reason he left. That was the final straw, yes, but he left primarily because he was tired of debating the same shit over and over and over again. So what? We had a new debate about vegetarianism in which most people disagreed with him* and he decided to leave? I imagine that he took his virtual football home with him. Anyway, there's no conch; you don't need permission from the Speaker of the House before you start talking about something. If PlanetCrap is stagnant it's not because we debate the same shit over and over, it's because people keep leaving forever and the pool of pet topics is getting smaller and smaller. |
|
Oops: *I wouldn't mind but it wasn't a particularly fierce debate. If I recall, Px declared that vegetarianism is The One True Ethical and Moral Way, got all pissed off because people disagreed with him and left forever. |
|
#17 by deadlock I don't. Fucking leaving forever because people disagreed with his militant vegeterianism. Gobshite. I didn't write 'the real Px' for no reason... "If I have seen further than others it is by judicious use of teh driver hacks"

|
Yeah, I'm not sure why you did write the 'real' Px. Was someone masquerading as Px? |
|
The real Px weren't no militant vegetarian. "…a four-dimensional real vector space equipped with a nondegenerate, symmetric bilinear form."

If that makes you happy, great. It wasn't working for him so he left. I'm not sure what you're trying to convince me of at this point. |
|
This isn't a dig at you Warren, but why do you still read/post here? It's an honest question because of all of us you seem to be the most cynical about the board and its worth. |
|
Re: Px Maybe he did leave because the 'Crap was stale but I remember him coming relatively late to the game after people had already started complaining it was past its prime. I can't see him missing the days of thousands a posts a day or having your posts about Scott Miller responded to because I don't think he was here around those times. I could be wrong. Maybe that was the reason, though, or maybe he was really, really busy as some have said. The fact is that he got into this really weird argument about Veganism, got on a really high horse and then rode off saying 'never again' and as far as I'm concerned, that was the weakest Planetcrap exit ever. My crummy little life

Was someone masquerading as Px? Yeah, some vegan dude stole his acc. "If I have seen further than others it is by judicious use of teh driver hacks"

and as far as I'm concerned, that was the weakest Planetcrap exit ever I have to disagree. The weakest Planetcrap exit was Jeet's fifth one. That was lame. Or maybe his seventh one, that sucked too. |
|
Hmmmm...good point. I wasn't really counting Jeet because he never truly leaves. My crummy little life
|
|
#31 by anaqer Was someone masquerading as Px? Yeah, some vegan dude stole his acc. That reads like sarcasm, which just makes your comments about a 'real' Px more confusing. |
|
#33 by hangedmanAG Hmmmm...good point. I wasn't really counting Jeet because he never truly leaves. He really seems to be gone forever now. When's the last time he posted? And there used to be a way to stick it to the Man. It was called rock 'n roll, but guess what, oh no, the Man ruined that, too, with a little thing called MTV!
|
|
Yesterday or the day before. |
|
BTW, Frets on Fire is a fucking awesome game! I downloaded all the Guitar Hero 1 and 2 tracks for it and it just simply rocks my socks now. The only thing is my keyboard sucks (it's a PS/2 POS) and I looked around on hardware store websites for a USB replacement but haven't found anything really suitable layout-wise. Maybe a PS/2->USB converter would be the best idea as this keyboard has a fine grip, it's just that it's slow and you can't press too many keys at once. And there used to be a way to stick it to the Man. It was called rock 'n roll, but guess what, oh no, the Man ruined that, too, with a little thing called MTV!

#36 by deadlock Yesterday or the day before. Huh? Funny, haven't noticed it. And there used to be a way to stick it to the Man. It was called rock 'n roll, but guess what, oh no, the Man ruined that, too, with a little thing called MTV!
|
|
Yeah, he popped in and gave a review of Transformers (or Die Hard 4, one or t'other). |
|
Then left forever again... |
|
This isn't a dig at you Warren, but why do you still read/post here? The same reason I post anywhere. Boredom. And occasionally to ask a question about something. |
|
Sounds great. "…a four-dimensional real vector space equipped with a nondegenerate, symmetric bilinear form."

I'm here. I've just been spending a lot of time finding geek girls to occupy my time with. Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.

He might but his reasons for leaving are completely valid. This place is very stagnant. Ah, so that's why your trolling has become more transparent. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

Even my trolling has become stagnant. |

I just got back from the Daft Punk concert in Amsterdam. Ho-ly fu-cking shit that was fucking genius. It was the exact same set from last year when they played at Coachella and in Belgium, which is too bad but was to be expected. They did have a 15-20 minute encore at the end with some stuff I'd never heard before. Really glad I went there and got to see them. And there used to be a way to stick it to the Man. It was called rock 'n roll, but guess what, oh no, the Man ruined that, too, with a little thing called MTV!

deadlock, my point is, Px changed quite a bit before bailing out entirely - and not for the better, either. Maybe it was the sudden fame, maybe the 'not drinking so much anymore', maybe something entirely else - I don't know OR care. "If I have seen further than others it is by judicious use of teh driver hacks"
Sir Isaac Newton, February 1675 |
|
The only change I care about is that he stopped posting. All the other stuff is immaterial. He's a lot younger than he comes across, so it's not all that surprising that he's changing when you consider his actual age. I know I changed a lot in my 20s. Horrible song of the nonce: Left Behind
|
|
Didnt Px get a new gig/job/contract, or some such recently? |
|
Seriously - what's all that got to do with age? Px used to be one badass poster, and then he turned all wuss on us. That's all that matters. I refuse to chalk that change all up for 'maturing' or whatever. Fuck him, is all I'm sayin' - he's a buster, plain and simple. "If I have seen further than others it is by judicious use of teh driver hacks"
Sir Isaac Newton, February 1675 |
|
I never got my complimentary bag of dicks when I left forever, but I didn't go all jeet about it either. Nevermind that I was never really here to begin with. |
|
Px is a busy guy, and he's gone through some big changes that have made him even busier. I'm pretty sure that's the reason he couldn't be bothered to re-hash debate #3303 regarding the merits of vegetarianism. - words and stuff -
|
|
Marsh: I'm pretty it isn't or it isn't the only reason though I know it was probably a large contributor. He'd been posting less anyway. I reallly like Px - I think it's a shame that he left 'forever' over a stupid debate that was second only to religion in terms of pointlessness and being unwinnable for either side of the debate. I suppose I was always convinced that if Px ever left for good it would be because the rest of the world was a desolate nuclear waste and he'd gotten bored waiting for a thread to be updated by someone else. |

"'I'm pretty sure it isn't..." |

Shadarr (#48): The only change I care about is that he stopped posting. All the other stuff is immaterial. He's a lot younger than he comes across, so it's not all that surprising that he's changing when you consider his actual age. I know I changed a lot in my 20s. This is probably the real reason he left. MOST people change a lot in their 20's. Just from the beginning of the time he got here to the time he left, he changed a lot. bishop (#51): I never got my complimentary bag of dicks when I left forever, but I didn't go all jeet about it either. Nevermind that I was never really here to begin with. You live! Are you still gaming? Looking forward to stealing pants in Quake Wars? deadlock (#53): Marsh: I'm pretty it isn't or it isn't the only reason though I know it was probably a large contributor. He'd been posting less anyway. I reallly like Px - I think it's a shame that he left 'forever' over a stupid debate that was second only to religion in terms of pointlessness and being unwinnable for either side of the debate. I suppose I was always convinced that if Px ever left for good it would be because the rest of the world was a desolate nuclear waste and he'd gotten bored waiting for a thread to be updated by someone else. This is pretty much how I feel about the whole thing. I liked Px a lot. Different circumstances growing up and I could have been pretty similar to him. I think it's crappy that he left on a such a sour note on such a silly debate. I realize it was important to him, but militant vegetarianism? What a way to go. My intelligence, then, is not absolute but is a function of the society I live in

BTW, Frets on Fire is a fucking awesome game! Indeed... ok, I've got to ask now: scores on medium for the three stock songs and Bark at the Moon? ( just for laughs: 81k for 'This week...', 119k for 'Bang Bang', 90k for 'Defy the Machine' and a shameful 77k for BatM ) "If I have seen further than others it is by judicious use of teh driver hacks"
Sir Isaac Newton, February 1675 |

I don't know that there are pants to steal in quake wars, but if that ad tracking nonsense doesn't prevent people here from playing, I will probably join in. |
|
bishop (#57): I don't know that there are pants to steal in quake wars, but if that ad tracking nonsense doesn't prevent people here from playing, I will probably join in. I'll be playing. And according to the beta reports, it's very much like ET. With pants stealing included. My intelligence, then, is not absolute but is a function of the society I live in
"I'm not sure it's possible to make a "subtle" jab at Matt's writing ability." - Ergo |
|
I got 116k on TWIBMPG (on easy). That's an awesome song. Haven't played medium yet, I'll go do that in a minute. The other stock songs I think I got good scores on too (around 100k) but they're kind of boring. Now I've got that all-in-one mod pack running with the Guitar Hero II songs and it just rocks so goddamn much now. And there used to be a way to stick it to the Man. It was called rock 'n roll, but guess what, oh no, the Man ruined that, too, with a little thing called MTV!
|
|
if it has pants stealing, I'm there. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard playing a multiplayer game until I played ET with bishop. "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" — "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."
|
|
Now all we need is a server! I'm thinking about it from a modification aspect. I had this big client side plan for ET involving zombies and other fun things but I demanded custom colors and the Q3 engine had a few things hard-coded into it back then so I never got around to doing anything with it. If they're using Doom 3 / Quake 4 I can probably bring that concept back since most of the lighting effects are set through text-editable files, and that won't be an issue. |

You demanded green, didn't you?! Admit it! |^^^^^^^^^^^^ |||__

Hmm - I had a crack at TWIBMPG on easy, and it got me up to 96k from the previous record of 65k. Strange, considering that was a few months back and I hardly ever played it in between (and never on easy). "If I have seen further than others it is by judicious use of teh driver hacks"
Sir Isaac Newton, February 1675 |
|
I always demand the finest in colors! |
|
bishop You don't know by chance know a good place to buy a server on that you can pick which game, configure it, etc? I'm looking for a cheap place to be able to host my own game server cheaply...something I can have as much control over as possible. I don't have a big enough pipe to do at my house. My intelligence, then, is not absolute but is a function of the society I live in

#63 by anaqer Hmm - I had a crack at TWIBMPG on easy, and it got me up to 96k from the previous record of 65k. Strange, considering that was a few months back and I hardly ever played it in between (and never on easy). I generally find the easy modes more fun because, well... they're easier and you don't run into the limitations of holding a PS/2 keyboard instead of a guitar controller as often as on medium. Damn, I just got nearly 200k on Lynyrd Skynrd - Free Bird (from GH2), but that song's like 10 minutes long or so. Great to play. And there used to be a way to stick it to the Man. It was called rock 'n roll, but guess what, oh no, the Man ruined that, too, with a little thing called MTV!

Remove the word "cheap" from your query and there are probably a few dozen places that can take care of you. Last time I cared enough to check, EA was renting 1942 servers at something like 8$ a player slot, per month. And the local ISP laughed at me when I went to talk to them about maybe doing something, so, yeah. |
