We should make a game out of topics like this. Or just have a bad joke thread? What do you call a woman with no arms or legs lying on a grill? Patty. What do you call a man with no arms or legs lying on a grill? Frank. What do you call a man with no lower legs? Neil. What do you call a man lying in...

Congratulations and many happy returns! How about some pics?

Well, one problem is those darn environmentalists. We can't build any more oil refineries because the enviros don't want us to "pollute" the environment any more. The oil demand is always increasing, but unless there are more places where it's refined, the price will continue to increase....

EDIT: Some findings in the error.log file. The Vista event viewer showed nothing. Guess we'll just have to try our luck with the full game and see what happens...

Yet another wrinkle in the \"do video games cause violent behavior\" debate.

Right-clicked on it in the Start menu, pulled up Properties, went to the Compatibility tab, tried XP SP2, Win2K, NT SP5, Win 98/Me, and Win95. Same results--\"Prepare for Descent\", ding, mouse appears, and I hear what sounds like the Gyro bot until I hit Alt-Tab to come to the dialog I po...

Well, changing the TEMP and TMP variables did let the installation finish, so thanks for that. But when I hit Play from the launcher, it says main.exe stopped working. So I switched from OpenGL to Direct3D and that got me in, but after the intell screens and the \"Prepare for Descent\", it...

My bro-in-law's PC's running Vista and I'm trying to install the D3 demo 2 I got from PD. After the usual dialogs saying where to put the files and whatever, it started installing and right away popped up this error \"during the data move process -113\". It mentions the file group WZSD80F....

Obi Wan: You're obsessed. I'm impressed. So now, I guess, I'll post mine, yes? http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z95/sedwick1024/Fullcollection.jpg I know I have the D1 manual somewhere too. The D3 and Freespace boxes are actually double-title inner-flipping cases. Here's their other sides: http://...

My Taiwanese Schwinn SC-3 is still working great after 6 years, two battery changes, and 1000+ miles. It'll show you your speed and distance, oscillating between trip and battery life odometer while stopped.

I'm more worried about the False Vacuum theory being true, in which case at any time the entire universe could be destroyed by expanding bubbles of true vacuum that would subsequently re-write the laws of physics of all space they pass through! :D The best part is, you can never see it coming. Isn'...

Yeah, I ran D3 in XP just fine until I got a new computer with integrated graphics. The first two pics are in Direct3D mode (messed up 2D), the third in OpenGL (flickering textures). They tell me a new graphics card, even a lower-end one, will fix these issues. http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z95...

Wow, and you didn't go into a coma or die?

Hydro Ontario said it saw a 4% drop ion power usage during that time from last Saturday. 4%. See, no one cares. :( That actually sounds pretty significant, being only from lights. And you know not everyone participated, so for the ones who did to take that much demand off the system actually strike...

Some dreams can mess you up. I once dreamed I was in love with Lisa Simpson. She was live-action, older, and riding a bicycle while wearing a lab coat and glasses. The crush effect lasted several hours after I'd woken up...

Heh, there was a Far Side cartoon where his parachute dropped him into an enclosure full of Doberman Pinschers (caption: \"The Untold Ending of D.B. Cooper\")

Old Man Winter's thrown at least one last hissy fit here in SE WI. My area took on at least a foot today:

Big snowstorms on Ash Wednesday AND Good Friday...incredible...Happy Spring, y'all!

Heehee! I'm reminded of stickdeath.com!

Tell me about it--they were like, the ninjas of Descent 1. You never saw them and then you heard that metallic screech and before you could move, your shields started draining...*shudder*

Let's all just hope that in 2010, we can still play Descent on Windows 7...

Yeah, have it get shadowed and glared in the light at certain angles!

What's wrong with that word? Why and how has it become such a taboo thing to say. If I'm not mistaken, it stands for Fornication Under Consent of the King, occasionally granted to couples who were about to marry, by the king of England, who was of course deeply tied to the church in those days. So ...

Eh, I guess I'm a simple guy sometimes. A rack of idiot-seeking homing missiles atop my car would bring me much joy. I forgot to mention the Chicken Launcher from Redneck Rampage. Come on now?! A chicken launcher?! HAHA! Oh the fun! Come to think of it, aside from the legality and a visit from PETA,...

Yeah, that sure was a memorable level--the rockin' guitary music, the fusion cannon, the secret level, the iris doors, all that lava...good times.

If you get the chance, GO SEE THIS! Sadly, they didn't play Descent music, but the program was nothing short of spectacular, with guests including \"Mario\" pianist Martin Leung recreating his online video performances. For me, Medal of Honor followed by Civilization IV packed the biggest ...

Wow, how romantic...

We'd been getting each other the sappier cards for as long as we've been together, so this time around, we were ready for some laughs.

I got my wife a card involving farting. She laughed good.
