15:48, Zjc92 steps in to restore balance, and realizes that 5 is still smaller than 2. :P
15:48, Zjc92 meant: larger
16:10, Zjc92> And 4 is larger than 1. :(
18:36, Cryoburner> Don't believe them!
20:39, Buuks> They are both from the same height.
21:18, Duskesko> Maths: We r gud at them!
22:23, Cryoburner> How many fingers, Winston?
00:08, Link345> Man, alex has nothing in his cdisk .Zip file....
00:09, Raptorjedi> He has plenty of things in there
02:05, Link345> i cant find much
02:06, Link345> theres some kinda flight sim
02:09, Link345> why is it that every thing i download from the cdisk comes out as a PHP file?
02:18, Cryoburner> How are you saving it?
02:19, Cryoburner> By clicking the icon, then clicking the 'yes, download now' button?
02:20, Link345> Yeah, its about 50 50. Sometimes its a PHP, sometimes its a zip/rar/whatever
02:20, Link345> The flight sim is kinda weird
02:23, Cryoburner> I know some versions of IE sometimes having trouble with the C-disk script...
02:24, Cryoburner> Yeah, the flight sim is mostly just a demonstration of alex's software 3D engine as of a couple years back.
02:24, Link345> im using what i think is a old version of IE
02:25, Cryoburner> Yeah, I think the newer versions don't have that problem.
02:26, Tom> Ditch IE, it will improve your quality of life.
02:26, Link345> holy crap, the internets just crashed on me
02:27, Tom> Try Firefox, if you don't like it I will personally refunt the full purchase price.
02:28, Link345> irony
02:28, Tom> "holy crap, the internets just crashed on me" is the best description of IE I've ever seen.
02:28, Cryoburner whispers: Or try Opera. :P
02:28, Link345> i got firefox, but it has trouble loading pages...
02:29, Tom> blech, non-free software
02:29, Link345> Firefox cost money?
02:29, Tom> It shouldn't, if IE loads them.
02:29, Link345> i got it for free...
02:29, Tom> Indeed. ^_^
02:30, Link345> i fail at noctis
02:30, Cryoburner> Oh, and for the HSP flight sim, you'll probably want to read the thread for it, or you'll have no idea what the controls are. :P
02:31, Link345> 99% of the planets i find are "dusty, cratorized, no atmosphere"....
02:32, Cryoburner> Here's the thread for the HSP flight sim. It will make a little more sense after that. :) http://www.anywherebb.com/postline/posts.php?t=1196
02:32, Link345> Im stuck in a part of the galaxy no one has ever been in....
02:33, Cryoburner> There are a lot of parts of the Galaxy like that. It's a big place. :D
02:36, Link345> internets being stupid again
02:36, Link345> Then again, i am using dial up
02:37, Link345> that probably has a lot to do with it!
02:39, Cryoburner> I blame the internet!
02:41, Tom> I blame Microsoft. The best thing about proprietary software is having someone to blame.
02:41, Tom> Some would say the only good thing.
02:45, Link345> sorry that i keep bobbing in and out, internet just crashed 3 times in 10 minutes
02:46, Link345> this is the worst PC ever
02:47, Cryoburner> It's not a big truck.
02:47, Link345> It runs Windows ME and the only internet connection is AOL 6.0
02:48, Link345> beat that
02:48, Cryoburner> Awesome.
02:49, Link345> by "beat that", i mean do a worse PC
02:51, Cryoburner> It's probably not possible.
02:52, Tom> We can't. we bow deeply before your bad-PC pwnage.
02:52, Link345> OWN'D
02:53, Link345> tom, arent you the only guy who posted in my doom topic?
02:54, Link345> you play DooM?
02:56, Tom> not really. I have it on my iriver though.
02:56, Tom> I'm sure some other DooM players will find their way out of the woodwork.
02:57, Link345> I love doom, its like the second best FPS series ever.
02:57, Tom> The best being...
02:58, Link345> Half life, duh
02:59, Tom> ah. I'm not really a FPS aficionado, but IMO cube/sauer is the best, followed by Battlefront, tribes, UT and Doom in no particular order.
02:59, Tom> I've never really liked Halo.
03:00, Link345> Halo is the worst FPS i ever played
03:00, Link345> If you look into it, they ripped half the story line from doom
03:01, Tom> I've really only played it on xbox, though, and I don't like dual analog
03:01, Link345> Random space marine gos around and randomly shoots aliens (instead of demons) for no reason
03:01, Tom> 007 Nightfire for PS2 is decent though.
03:01, Cryoburner> Doom has a story line?
03:02, Link345> ever play timesplitters?
03:02, Tom> IMO better than Timesplitters, the only other one I played
03:02, Tom> yes
03:02, Link345> yeah, doom has some traces of a story line
03:03, Tom> Maybe it's just because I like 007, though.
03:03, Tom> "space marine kills demons on Mars"
03:03, Link345> and hell
03:04, Link345> knee deep in the dead was the only chapter on mars
03:04, Raptorjedi prefers GoldenEye for the N64 over Doom.
03:04, Tom> What more do you need? It's a FPS, not a movie. Well, it's a movie too unfortunately.
03:04, Link345> and all of doom II was on earth i think
03:04, Tom> me too, I forgot about that one.
03:04, Link345> goldeneye was the bomb
03:05, Tom> I only played it a few times, at a friend's house.
03:05, Link345> OOT was the best game ever
03:06, Link345> n64------------------------------------>all
03:06, Tom> I played Ocarina of Time and Sarge's Heroes several times as long.
03:06, Tom> true
03:06, Cryoburner> Goldeneye was cool for its time, but the controls were terrible.
03:07, Raptorjedi> I will probably cry when my N64 stops working. It's going to eventually.
03:07, Link345> eh, i gotta take a shower...
03:07, Tom> Mine is still going strong.
03:07, Link345> dooms controls origanaly sucked
03:08, Tom> they still do on the iriver
03:08, Link345> ya had to use the arow keys to move, space to open doors, ctrl to fire...
03:08, Link345> what the heck is a iriver?
03:08, Cryoburner> Doom's control's weren't that bad, since you didn't have to worry about aiming vertically.
03:09, Link345> if you use zdoom, you can jump, crouch, and mouse aim
03:09, Tom> iRiver h320, a portable digital audio player (best ever)
03:09, Cryoburner> RJ, just pick a used one up if it dies. :)
03:09, Raptorjedi> Mine was bought used :P
03:09, Cryoburner> Then pick another used one up. :P
03:10, Link345> used n64=$75
03:10, Tom> used GC = $30
03:10, Tom> makes you wonder...
03:10, Cryoburner> I'm sure you could find them for less than that.
03:10, Link345> used snes= $150
03:10, Raptorjedi> Pawn Shop N64 = probably even less than that.
03:10, Link345> i gots me a wii!
03:11, Link345> anyways, me+shower=now
03:11, Tom> me too...at this rate my game gear is probably worth 1mill
03:11, Link345> bye
03:11, Tom> bye
03:12, Cryoburner> I'm doubting the $150 for SNES...
03:12, Cryoburner> I'm seeing them on Ebay for like $40.
03:13, Cryoburner> Maybe with a collection of games.
03:14, Raptorjedi> Anyone want a Virtual Boy? http://cgi.ebay.com/Nintendo-Virtual-Boy-3-Games-Near-Perfect-Condition_W0 QQitemZ290220734225QQihZ019QQcategoryZ4315QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZVie wItem
03:14, Tom> I may pick up an extra one, just to have a backup.
03:14, Raptorjedi> I'm actually surprised that isn't selling for more
03:15, Cryoburner> There's still a couple days left though.
03:16, Cryoburner> Most bidding happens right before the close of an auction, usually.
03:16, Raptorjedi> Yeah
03:17, Raptorjedi> But still. I was expecting over 100 dollars for a Virtual Boy and three games, in good, working condition.
03:18, Raptorjedi> There were only 770,000 sold, and I bet a good chunk of those were either thrown away, or are in someones basement/closet/attic.
03:19, Raptorjedi> The joke that is the N-Gage sold more :P
03:20, Tom> I may have already said this, sorry to repeat myself
03:22, Tom> n-gage looks like goatse
03:22, Raptorjedi> Yeah, I hate you now.
03:22, Raptorjedi> I was content with thinking it looked like a taco.
03:22, Tom> I was just looking at the latest goatse-related post on Boing Boing
03:23, Tom> You start seeing it everywhere...
03:25, Cryoburner> Jaguar! http://cgi.ebay.com/JAGUAR-Interactive-System-BOX-Controller-Game_W0QQitem Z230238330444QQihZ013QQcategoryZ62054QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
03:25, Tom> I mean, it even has a "wedding ring": http://tonnikala.net/jutut/2003/n-gage/n_gage07_lores.jpg
03:25, Tom> Weren't those repurposed into dental equipment?
03:30, Cryoburner> Jaguars, or NGages?
03:32, Tom> Jaguars.
03:34, Tom> It was called the "Hot Rod", apparently an actual product (and still being produced, I think.)
04:39, Chad> Awesome: http://stardestroyerproject.com/48incher.aspx
04:41, Chad> He's got some awesome models.
05:00, Tom> When I clicked on that link it made Firefox 3.0b5 hang.
05:01, Cryoburner> When I clicked that link (in Opera) it brought up a message that said "This page designed to crash Firefox!"
05:03, Cryoburner whispers: Wel, not really, but you wouldn't know any better. :P
05:07, Duskesko> when i clicked that link i had no problems whatsoever. i suppose its because i don't use unfinished software :P
05:07, Duskesko> oh, and that man knows how to build some fucking models!
13:45, Deanfrz> When I clicked that link I immediately knew what it was like to envy. As well as experiencing several other deadly sins.
13:45, Deanfrz> BTW, I totally use firefox
13:47, Cryoburner> Well, he is using the Firefox 3 beta. That might have something to do with it.
13:50, Deanfrz> http://stardestroyerproject.com/48incher.aspx for all yall who missed out on the envy
13:50, Deanfrz> betas are for tards, and beta testers, which i refuse to be for free
13:53, Xenomorph> Then don't use Google, or pretty much anything from Microsoft...
13:54, Deanfrz> Of course I'll do it for free stuff.... silly
13:55, Deanfrz> for god's sake, gmail gets me gigs and gigs of free space
