It was very nice meeting 'em all. @Steve-it really didn't take him much time to divulge the secret location of the rebel base. A couple of pints of Red Oak had him blabbing in no time. Batten down the hatches on Dantooine. [;)]

So there.

Just started preloading Modern Warfare 3 on Steam. Good Thread, there's an achievement for STARTING the single-player campaign!

Anything to make the masses feel good about themselves. The whole achievements thing seems like a waste of time to me, especially as games are generally getting easier these days.

Terminus -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (11/5/2011 12:36:06 PM)
This is true. I really feel like a part of something huge doing this pre-load, like a horde of lemmings racing towards a cliff.

[:D] I think the only games I have played where an achievement was warranted would be the original X-Com games (Terror From the Deep in particular) and the Commandos games. And maybe Lemmings, but I only thought of that one after T's comment.

BrucePowers -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (11/5/2011 2:21:55 PM)
Do I get an achievement for posting in the thread?

The whole achievements thing seems like a waste of time to me, especially as games are generally getting easier these days. I'd put a good coordinated amphibious assault with carrier support out there as an example of an achievement in this game. I feel somewhat mollified that at least some of us lunatics enjoy a game that is stultifying in its complexity.

Mike next door has a three year old that knows the sky pretty good. When the moon is up, he points to it and says "moon, moon." day or night. So I fired up my dinky telescope but he couldn't use the eyepiece, so had to pull the biggie out of the moving boxes. Think it's all wired up right, and did an alignment, twice; was nominal. Have the CCD imaging system that can dump directly to an attached computer; that works OK too. We are bingo. Maybe after Alabama murdalizes them LSU pukes, we'll fire up the big scope and let little James see the mountains of the Moon, and the rings of Saturn, and the moons of Jupiter. And maybe we can show the adults a thing or two. It's a Meade 8" and can see pretty far. Cool beans.

Bonfire night, Mrs P back from shops with 2 boxes of fireworks.

Good (late) morning. Though about posting again in a particular general discussion thread that oozes a certain amount of virulent ignorance, but though twice about it and decided to post here instead, where it oozes whimsical ignorance. [sm=00000289.gif]

sprior -> RE: Thee Ye Olde Thread (11/5/2011 10:02:52 PM)
Gunpowder and beer. Great.

Terminus -> THE THREAD!!! (11/5/2011 10:04:23 PM)
Could we perhaps endeavour to maybe observe the correct subject line text please? MAYBE?

goodboyladdie -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (11/5/2011 10:06:09 PM)
It's better than LOG!

sprior -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (11/5/2011 10:06:28 PM)
Maybe. THANK YOU.

Good Saturday afternoon - Tithe. [&o][&o][&o]

DivePac88 -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (11/5/2011 10:56:55 PM)
Morning tithe... Sitting up in my hospital bed getting blood pumped into me, and thinking to myself what marvellous people Nurses are (I love them all). But not Doctors; Problem is whereas the Doc will let me surf on my laptop, he won't let me do any work on it. He then terms doing a AE turn as work, so I can't do a my waiting turn. The Reason he gives is that with the new blood, then iron, he doesn't want my blood-pressure to get too high. [image]local://upfiles/30275/AE91FE2616D74ABF83835F37C8F9D18F.gif[/image]
