I've dislocated both of my shoulders. Multiple times. (Heh- finally found a bunch of funny pics of myself and my family...) I love doing stuff like that to people- I'll pretend something is "broken" and bend my elbow outward to point away in the direction one's eyes look.

Here is a rather neat piece of art from an art gallary I checked out in D.C. last summer. The guy on the ground grinning like an idiot is, yes, me. Not the best photo of me, but the only one of the ground with me in it. The floor was rather large (And by large I mean frickin' huge) The tile was entirely white, and completely drab and boring. Over that went hundreds of feet of multi-colored tape that formed a giant free-form mozaic. It was quite a sight to behold.

Can't see it...

Hil-arity, Mad. Saves for me, too, just not if I've already saved it three times in the same game... Rather annoying.

I've posted it before, but it's too good to let go into obscurity. Warning: Do not click the link if you have something productive that needs doing!

If you're referring to none of your planets having construction yards then you must do one of three things. 1) Say, "Screw this!" and start a new game until you have a construction yard. 2) Diplomatically turn a planet with a construction yard to your side. 3) Use military force to conquer a planet with a construction yard (Have at least six units of garrison troops when you take it or you can't use the construction yard) To get a building to a location different from the planet you are building it on you have to right click on the tab for the construction yard (The one with the status of the construction on it, IE tab one) and select "Destination." Then click on the planet where you want that construction yard/building of your choice.

*has a flashback of seeing wormie tumble around, screaming Aaaaadriaaaaaan*

A new look for an old favourite.

I don't have a vote, yet, and this nation has freedom of religion. I'm not saying 'tear it down right now, it's an abomination which offends me!' I saying that the money could have been spent on a much better cause than an expensive knock-off of an existing statue to look pretty in front of a church. I am, for the record, all for freedom of religion, speech, etc. I don't think that they should be done away with by any means- I just can't say that I believe that was the best way to spend $260,000 when a mere $0.10 can save a child's life in Darfur, or another destitute country.

I particularly liked this one... Rest in peace, Rodney... Edit: Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't all of this money have been spent on something far more worthwhile? Like, I dunno, helping homeless people, or feeding people in third-world countries? Just a thought, and all.

Oh, great, now we're all going to write morbid notes for everyone to recieve in the event of our demise. Dear Forum Members, If you're reading this then I have, unfortunately, expired. I wish I could have stayed, as some of you have been some of the best friends I've ever had... The fact that some of you were complete dicks makes leaving this world that much easier, though. -Tofu Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep... That'd be my 'final farewell' note!

Ooo, time for an on-line manual- check the questions from newbies section. I wrote a rather long bit on how to play the game under the topic "Online manual." I'll try to find it to give you a link.

Heh- loved the "Thriller" bit in there! "Will you turn off that ****ing music?" *Slam!* "My nose!"

Shouldn't Vader be more mechanical under the armor? Very nicely done, Mad!

Heh... The best quote out of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" (The BBC series) God: I refuse to prove that I exist, for proof denies faith and without faith I am nothing. Man: The Babel fish is a dead giveaway isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't, QED. God: Oh dear, I hadn't thought of that [God promptly disappears in a poof of logic] Man: Oh, that was easy! For the record, that Snow Patrol song was originally posted by me Edit: Wierd Al http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ze4dSkcTsws Warning: The last one is offensive to some people... Possibly NSFYV... You've been warned.Credit to Mad for posting it originally.

Ah, well, then, apparently my combat engine doesn't work As far as options go, a roll technique would probably be good to use, so as to present a fresh set of shields to the enemy when in a long slugging match.

Does anyone ever wonder if maybe forum members who never came back died? I don't mean to put anyone in a bad mood for the rest of the day, it's just... If I were hit by a car tomorrow and died, you folks would have no way of knowing of my demise. For all you know I could have just said, "The hell with this site!" and picked up and left... That sort of thing keeps me up at night from time to time- part of the reason I like seeing an old face return.

Have you considered the battle engine utalized in Skies of Arcadia? If you don't know what that battle engine is, it's a semi-turn based system in which you choose from a number of options which require certain amounts of energy for a four-turn go. Your enemy does likewise, and your ships go through a 'cutscene,' taking turns to shoot at eachother with who shoots first determined randomly, and the possibility of a miss always in there. Multiple option screens (IE one for fighters, one for ion cannons, one for anti-starfighter weapons, one for turbolasers) would make for a large tactical experiance as well as engaging gameplay IMHO. Plus you only have to animate a pre-set launch scene or two for each option, saving you a bit of time and energy... I wish I knew how to code a game- I would totally make this...

Google Video acutally had a bit of the stuff for a while... What's the betting all of those videos with old eps mystereously reappear for sale under "TV series" on google video?

*Chips ice of of left leg* Yeah, I probably should have followed it *Returns to chipping ice away*

... Aliens? That's almost as stupid as saying that there's no evidense of evolution. You lose, Rob.

You mean like in this? Fun games those slime fellows made... Ace stuff, J. D: As usual, way too big of a link.

*Twitch* Dammit, now I have to admit that you posted a decent YTMND... I'm putting that in my sig.

Ah, here we are-

Giant Squid vs. Bigfoot: Two totally different topics- The primary reason we never captured a giant squid was because they live so far beneath the ocean that it's extremely difficult to find one, and even moreso to capture it. The Earth is 2/3 water (Which kind of makes you wonder at the name), thus the giant squid had a huge playground to hide in. I stand by what I said before- bigfoot would have to be sentient to have remained hidden from our overcrowded planet. ... That said, I have heard a theory that Bigfoot is the evolutionary desendant of the mysterious Neanderthals (Who, in fact, were smarter than the Cro Magnon (Modern human))
