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 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. |

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"

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.

#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. |

Yeah, cheap is my problem... My intelligence, then, is not absolute but is a function of the society I live in

So the news giant that is news.com.au, has this story up on its page... Astonishing new twist But last week came an astonishing new twist to the Roswell mystery. Lieutenant Walter Haut was the public relations officer at the base in 1947 and was the man who issued the original and subsequent press releases after the crash on the orders of the base commander, Colonel William Blanchard. Haut died last year but left a sworn affidavit to be opened only after his death. Last week, the text was released and asserts that the weather balloon claim was a cover story and that the real object had been recovered by the military and stored in a hangar. He described seeing not just the craft, but alien bodies. He wasn't the first Roswell witness to talk about alien bodies. So far, as the qt3 thread mentions, I don't see anything about it anywhere else. Me, I'd love to believe that is was aliens and the truth will come out. But while I hope, I just don't believe it. Not that aliens exist and could potentially crash here on earth...but the story could have been covered up for this long if it were true.

Complete and utter bullshit. My soul aches that people give this crap even an iota of credibility. You never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religions. Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. It is the price he has to pay for being intelligent but not, as yet, intelligent enough. --Aldous Huxley

I leave PC several times a day. It might stick if it weren't one of the few message boards they didn't block at work. |

Some really interesting cell phone news: Here’s the basic idea. If you’re willing to pay $10 a month on top of a regular T-Mobile voice plan, you get a special cellphone. When you’re out and about, it works like any other phone; calls eat up your monthly minutes as usual. But when it’s in a Wi-Fi wireless Internet hot spot, this phone offers a huge bargain: all your calls are free. You use it and dial it the same as always — you still get call hold, caller ID, three-way calling and all the other features — but now your voice is carried by the Internet rather than the cellular airwaves. From the description in that article I don't know I'd use it now (specific cell phone required, doesn't work at login required hot spots, etc), but it sounds really interesting. Especially if it catches on. It'll mean more hotspots and maybe support by phones, etc. My intelligence, then, is not absolute but is a function of the society I live in

[b[MattP: Google is your friend. |

G-Man (#73): [b[MattP: Google is your friend. Google is my friend, but he doesn't argue well for a specific service and the merits of that service. At least not unless I tell him ask other people about their reviews. I was kinda hoping someone here had a service in mind, etc. You guys may not know as much as Google, but you're infinitely more fun to talk to.

Oh, I only play the stock songs on medium - all the GH songs feature the dreaded pink frat on medium and above, trying to use which I've given up on pretty quickly.

I could see it as a great way to ditch the land line. Right now I have Primus VoIP for the unlimited long distance. If I could get the same thing on my cellphone just by being home (or anywhere else with wireless) I wouldn't need the two phone numbers. Horrible song of the nonce: Left Behind

OH SHIT! You got me on the spelling thing - but it's pink, all right. "If I have seen further than others it is by judicious use of teh driver hacks"

I'm glad MS is extending their 360 warranty of the three rings of death to 3 years (1 year per ring), but I hope they fixed the root cause in new consoles so I won't have any trepidation when I get mine. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.
|

Yeah, I don't really care about warranties, I want them to iron out the bugs. Horrible song of the nonce: Left Behind

That's kind of at the crux of my "first" console (the Wii being my "second" console, despite actually getting it first) debate. Which ever comes first, the 360 getting a new, and presumably more reliable, design or the PS3 getting a critical mass of games I want to play, is probably going to be the one I buy. Of course, price drops wouldn't hurt either. |

#78 by anaqer OH SHIT! You got me on the spelling thing - but it's pink, all right. Maybe you Euros get a faggy version of the controller? I'm looking at my PS2 GH and xbox360 GH controllers and they are both very orange. #81 by eggbert That's kind of at the crux of my "first" console (the Wii being my "second" console, despite actually getting it first) debate.

He's playing Frets on Fire, the crappy PC knock-off. And from what I gather he's playing it with a keyboard. Horrible song of the nonce: Left Behind

#83 by Shadarr He's playing Frets on Fire, the crappy PC knock-off. And from what I gather he's playing it with a keyboard. What the fuck is the point of that? |
|
Not having to buy a PS2, Xbox 360 or Guitar Hero? Yeah, I know: SO POOR! 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!
|

I meant playing Guitar hero with a keyboard. Kinda defeats the entire point of the fucking game. |
|
Plus with FoF you can import all kinds of songs and it has tons of great mods. 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!

You're supposed to hold the keyboard like this. It works pretty good. 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!
|
|
I'm sorry but that just looks retarded. Not to mention all of the problems involved in different keyboard layouts. What if you have one of those crazy split ergonomical keyboards that weigh like ten tons for no good reason, what then? |

He does have a point, you really need a good keyboard to get any sort of enjoyment out of it. I've been looking for a replacement for my crappy logitech ps/2 OEM keyboard (which is perfect layout wise) but most 'multimedia keyboards' out there are bloated crap. But if you do have a keyboard that's a good fit, it's an amazingly fun game. And there used to be a way to stick it to the Man.

There's a million of them now so you'd better step up your mocking speed. |

Hey now, lets not be getting on split keyboards. They are keyboards as god intended. My intelligence, then, is not absolute but is a function of the society I live in

so you make fun of iPhones but you still use the crappy Cingular service and are somehow pleased to be using Windows Mobile? Just what level of dumbass are you? "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" — "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."

The kind that uses 3g instead of Edge, and has an open API I can write apps for. Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.

At half the price withoutout a 2 year locked in contract. Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.

Yeah, writing my own apps is what I look for whenever I spend my money. Boy, do you know where people's heads are at. fuck your song
and fuck your dance fuck your keeping me down and under |

yet your 'phone' is just an ipaq. The only real advantage windows mobile has is that it's not the PalmOS. I've used the iPhone interface. Microsoft ought to be red faced and embarrassed for not having come upwith it by now. All touch screen interfaces suck. ALL OF THEM. They get out of sync, they lag, they are slow. About the best is windows mobile, because even the tablet PCs have lag and sync issues. The iPhone completely does away with that. In fact, you are looking that the future interface option on iMacs and Macbooks. It's just smoother, slicker, and the true reason to feel nothing but love for an iPhone, even if it's not great as a phone and costs too damn much. But you are too much of an elitist dumbass to realize that those first time buyers you make fun of are paving the way for the new and cool for your next phone. You honestly don't really understand technology near as much as you think you do. "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" — "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."
