@Eagle: Oh, jeeze, that kid from the Slave I add cracked me up! His accent and trying to do the voices... That was just great! I think I actually had a speeder bike like the one advertised there, except that it didn't come apart like theirs- probably for the best, since it was probably difficult to repair, hence the lack of it being included in later models... @Mad: Some of those actually looked rather tasty, truth be told. We should adopt them in the US! Edit: So Crocodile Dundee is dead...

PCgamemods is supposed to be pretty good for these things, but I think that they've been down for a while. Ask SOCL about it, he's the Total War expert.

That is pure win, Jahled! Haha!

Frankenthread lives! This one's a bit naughty, so nobody under thirteen gets to read it; you've been warned! A woman with no arms and no legs lives on the beach, and every day she sees an attractive young man run by her on the beach. One day she starts to cry, and he jogs over to her. "What's wrong?" he asks, and she says, "I've never been held before!" Being a generous, kind fellow, he takes her in his arms and holds her. She is happy. The next day she sees him going by once more, and decides to try the same tactic, crying once more. He returns and, mildly annoyed, asks why she is crying. She replies, "I've never been kissed." He makes to leave, but she sobs harder, so he kisses her to make her feel better. Flush with success, on the third day, the woman sobs once more. Now very annoyed, the man jogs up to her and asks, "Now what's wrong?" She replies, "I've never been fucked before." He nods sympathetically, takes her in his arms, and walks out to the ocean, throwing her into the deep water and yelling, "There! Now you're fucked!" Horrible, yes, but I'll be damned if it ain't funny!

You're only going to keep lurking like that because right now your post count is 1337- leet (AKA l33t, AKA 1337)

Bah- I'm almost up that high... Besides, Mad, Jahled, Scathane, and Trej all have that measly post count topped. Give me another few weeks/months and you won't be able to top me with that supreme cheating!

Since when have I ever aspired to be a moderator? Jeeze, you lot have known me how long? Being a moderator would mean saying good-bye to spamming, and to part of my soul! Fools...

I just caught up with this, and nicely Tofu! Good to see creativeness from us lot, though one of you guys' little sister will surely be bawling her eyes out at how you roughed up her teddy bear Eerily enough, it's my mate's younger brother's. We'd have mauled it more, but unfortunately he still apparently enjoys the thing... @Mad: Haha! That was pretty funny! I really hope somebody tries that! Better yet, I hope somebody does an oil change with soy sauce!

With this post I now tie with Elvis at 3555 posts for sixth place on the post count board! Now all I have to do is assassinate Mad so that he stops getting so much farther ahead of me so quickly, and I shall ascend to the level of number one in a matter of years! BWAHAHA! ...[/spam so that I could get that one extra post to hit sixth place]

I've less faith in him than you, Eagle. He's been slowing down as of late- I'll go with early December for post 8000, or else late November. Somewhere in that general time frame... Quick question- what does the winner get if they figure out when Mad will hit 8,000?

I always thought that Switzerland was your second home, and this was your first @Tex: Of course my PPD count is the second highest! Everybody else has been gone for years, and the PPD count is the number of posts you've made divided by the number of years that you've been here.

Elvis has 3,555, whereas with this post I've 3,552, I believe. I'm almost in sixth place. Jeeze, sixth. I thought I was so much farther ahead than sixth! Hell, right now I'm seventh! How can six people have posted even more than me?!? How?!?!

This should be in the "Questions from Newbies" or "General Discussion" thread, but oh well. Rank on this forum is not based on your skill in the game at all, nor on how long you've owned it, nor even on how long you've been with the community (at least, so far as the little insignia goes). Rank is a function of the number of posts you make, and as you make more and more you gain rank. Once you hit 2,000 posts there are no more ranks that can be assigned to you for increased posting, and one may create their own rank and rank insignia, hense Jedi Knight Jahled's forksaber, Raporan Dark Lord Mad78's weapon thingy, Ultimate n00b DarthTofu (me) with my bright, colorful, and M.S.-paint-made rank, etc. Some members are from way back before this server was the standard one, and were part of a smaller community than this, thus they got their "old" ranks from the "old" forums back without having the posts to back 'em up. Ultimately we really don't care about rank or post count too much, though- they're the butt end of jokes, but nobody is about to yell at you for voicing your own opinion when you have fewer pills in your rank than some other guy- they're buttons, and we don't illusion ourselves otherwise. In all reality the old hands, like Evaders, Jahled, and Krytos are probably the highest in terms of "rank," even though they haven't the most posts, just because they are the wisest in the ways of the Force. Now, if it's ways of the Spam that you want, Mad78 and myself are your men, with Mad being the official Spam King and I the Spam Prince (We had the same number of votes for King, but I conceded the title to him when he changed the subject of the thread to Switzerland's economy even after I created the poll on the matter) All-in-all, though, don't worry about the number of posts you have or the little picture next to your posts- both are immaterial 'round these parts.

Step one: Grab a game from the "Total War" genre. Step two: Search for a "Star Wars" mod. Step three: Congratulations, you now have a Star Wars RTS that kicks any other Star Wars RTS's arse. @E: I agree; Galactic Battlegrounds was just a slightly flashier Age of Empires.

B.S. had him beat for a single day when the "you cannot make another post so soon" button that discourages spamming broke. He had something like ten thousand- he still has that screenshot somewhere... But from a "legal" spamming point of view, Mad has everyone else creamed. So far as consistent posters go, Jahled is in second place and I am in third. Scathane and Trej both have me creamed with over four thousand apiece, but neither shows up any more, so I exclude them from my count.

Two things have convinced me that it might not actually be so bad- 1) I noticed that the genre includes comedy. I was afraid it was meant to be a serious horror flick! 2) These are the lesbian vampires! http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2602276/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1617640/ Hoo hai! I think it'll be worth six bucks even if it isn't funny or scary!

I saw Rush Hour III the other day, and I must say, I liked it. The plot is blessedly coherent (Something the makers of Spiderman III and Pirates III were incapable of doing) and moves linearly, if a bit quick. The humor generally falls into the "What... the... ****" category, but despite your disgust, you still find that you're laughing at such blatant stupidity and odd behavior. I'd give it four to four and one half stars out of five for being a good action/comedy film. Those who remember Abbott and Costello will likely find that they really like the flick, as there's a pretty good reference back to one of their most famous sketches in the movie. Edit: Oh, jeeze! Mad, tell me if this is as bad that Zombies vs. Ninjas flick you rented when it comes out. Just the title automatically has me thinking "MST3K." Well, that and, "I wonder if those lesbian vampires will be hot enough to make this worth the six bucks of admission?"

Nope. I've discovered some great old games; Soul Caliber III (I think that's which one it is) is a pretty great fighting game. Granted, I know absolutely nothing about how it is when you face the AI as I've only gone head-to-head with my friend who actually owns the game. He sucks at it, though, so I'm about even with him after only playing it three or four times. I also found Battlefront II to be a ton of fun; a lot more fun than the first one for PC was. I got bored with that before I even beat it; mind-numbingly repetitive fighting, that. Granted, the same can be said of BF II, but it's pretty repetitive fighting, with Hero Characters.

Are you doing anything special to celebrate, though?

Seven-thousand... Wow. You have damn-near twice as many posts as my roughly 3,550. ... I still say you're only getting there before me because you had a head start, though! So how do we celebrate this 7,000th post of Spa- er, this 7,000th post? Do we engage you in mortal combat with someone else, and then we space the loser? Space the winner? Buy you a drink?

First off: @ Everyone: Thank you! Second off: Please actually comment on the video if you liked it. The other two actors (Todd and Adam) don't visit the forums, and they'd like to get positive feedback as well (Or even "Mind-numbingly stupid. Buisness as usual." comments. ) Thirdly: I did use a microphone, Mad. Or is "mic" supposed to refer to something else? I used the mic for all of the voiceovers where I gave little bits of commentary, as well as for the "Oh, son of a bitch!" line when everything goes dark. I used audacity to record it, then converted it to an MP3, then converted that to a WAV file so WMM wouldn't have a fit and freeze up on me. I think I have a solution to make the next ep. run smoother in the sound department; I'm going to go see if it works, now... Edit: Okay, so Audacity can't take Realplayer files and just use the sound from them. On the up-side, it makes a really cool robot-like noise when it plays the file it gets, though!

You could have two stars with guns shooting at each other... Yes, it's a Star Wars pun. I think it would be pretty good... Or maybe you could do Mr. Burns's eyes?

I could hug you, now, E! Thanks, man, that program worked great, got my narration in there just fine and got my credit music (Which, unfortunately, had to change to something far less silly) and got the whole video working! While a few kinks that involved stupid lacking in the department of a bit of extra work by Windows to make their program better rose up, by and large the project went rather smoothly once I got it into the computer and working. Some parts came out worse than I'd imagined, others came out better; right now I think the credits turned out the best (Nightwish lent a helping hand, there) though (And this made me laugh when I realized it) they aren't completed and can't be completed at this time, because when my friend and I decided to shoot our credit scenes while we had nothing better to do, we inadvertently taped over it with the rest of the stuff we shot! I have to recharge my camcorder, now, then head over to his place so that we can re-shoot our credit scenes, but otherwise, Road Trip from Hell's Pilot episode is completed! I'll post it up here if not today, then probably tomorrow. Edit: IT IS DONE! Be on the lookout for Directors' Commentary later on! This was a lot of fun to make (not so much to edit) and there will certainly be more! If you're lucky, I might even figure out how to make them more professional-looking so that they don't hurt the eyes as much. Script #2 was cancelled on account of too much not-funny mixed in with funny. That and the fact that 7/11 would likely kick us out if we tried as much. The next episode should be written and directed by Adam.

Ditto the Tex; also, the AI might have had two ships headed for your planet, but one of them was scrapped on arrival (Ships in-transit to other systems cannot be scrapped). After scrapping one ship/facility/unit of troops, it takes another few days before something else is scrapped once more.

Haha! I remember when I was back there with just a few posts to go before I hit 2,000... Mitth urged the whole community to stop posting so that I couldn't reach that number, so I was forced to create three new threads or so to achieve my new rank. I believe I made a "Happy Boxing Day" thread.... I guess I really wanted to be able to change from Warlord to Ultimate n00b
