Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread You're fired.

Re: Musings on Random Musings I have no real problem bailing others out of emergencies they've created... now and then. When it becomes a habit, and they begin to assume that I will always save them from themselves, that's when it begins to bother me.

Re: The cranky thread I am so tired of reading email. I get over a hundred a day, not counting the spam, and I have to respond to at least half of them. It's affecting my pbem games because, oh god, another email I have to respond to.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Looks like it. There's hits on the light post too. And Sav: head on a swivel, man! That's like Small Unit Tactics 101.

Re: The cranky thread The people who wrote the software library did it in such a way that Cancer has to write twice as much code to do the same thing. It is especially dumb because it's busywork code; the computer ought to be able to figure that out by itself.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Either we're looking at a clueless teammate who's about to get drilled at point-blank by the prone defender he didn't see, or a clueless teammate watching his team get slaughtered by the flanker he didn't see.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings Was it a Kirby or a Dysan? Cuz those really suck.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings I don't think I've ever been this hungry...or is it pissed off?

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Bad RPMiller! Bad!

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER That's what happens if you see me naked.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings Farmer Brown has a problem. His cows like to type.

Re: Genre-crossover nightmares Good hygiene in general, I imagine. Yeah, I too was impressed; it's not your average third-grade puppet show.

Re: Genre-crossover nightmares Actually I went and did some serious googling after I posted that. It seems BB's right hand either doesn't move or is attached to his head with a wire (I'll be looking for this next time I'm stuck watching Sesame Street). The muppeteer has a monitor in there so he sees what the audience would see. It all sounds very... difficult.

Re: Musings on Random Musings "Day off"? What's that?

Re: Genre-crossover nightmares You laugh, but I sit and watch and I try to figure out how they're controlling the muppets. It looks like most muppets take at least two people to control--two hands and a mouth. Some are obviously radio-controlled, like Elmo on a trike. And lots of the new shows are shot against a bluescreen to make it easier to hide the operators. But I still can't figure out how Big Bird's beak moves, or how the guy in the suit can see past all the feathers.

Re: Traveller-era guns Because flying brass is cool.

Re: Musings on Random Musings And you know this how?

Re: A Thread for Random Musings But not as much as the people I'm currently on a con call with. I can't believe I'm participating in a discussion over where the powerpoint titles will go.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings You know, Barney doesn't bother me, but BJ needs some serious slapping around.

Re: Musings on Random Musings Yeah, cold weather really sucks. Last week I took my kid to the beach and we were only in the water for less than half an hour before he started to shiver. It didn't help that a cloud would occasionally cover up the sun.

Re: FH Gripes And yet only Hero is capable of handling such a wide range of power levels so smoothly. 40 STR would be appropriate for a high-magic or mythic scale game.

Re: Genre-crossover nightmares Is that really a crossover? I watch a lot of Sesame Street nowadays, and it seems to me that they already radiate madness.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER But-- but-- think of the dome lights!
