Oh wait...
    And then there's the one where people believe that by inventing numbers and then labeling semi-arbitrary spans of time with those numbers in sequence with a (again) semi-arbitrary starting point, that those numbers are somehow significant and influential to reality beyond human society.
  2. Good grief.

    Disabled. Thanks for the heads up. I'm starting to wonder why I'm still bothering with Facebook. I should delete my account. Or at least trim it down to just the five to ten people I actually care about keeping in touch with.
  3. That's a tough one to beat, but I'll do my best.

    Japanese Gameshow + Water Bottle Jet Pack = FAIL!
  4. Too busy playing new expansion! Forgot to check PM's!

    Another classic in the animation category, I present:

    The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny!
  5. A fried of mine is having the same issue. I'm on the phone with him now and trying to help via remote assistance. We tried:

    Deleting checksum and rebooting, verifying, and relaunching.
    Run as Administrator
    Safe Mode
    Updating to latest video drivers.

    Still gets stuck on "Loading"

    He's on an Alienware MX15, Win 7 Home Premium 64bit, ATI Mobility Radeon 5850, 4gb RAM, Intel i7 Q-720.

    Trying some other stuff but running out of ideas.

    No, you get two free character slots; not per server, two total which can be placed on whatever server you want (provided you have room for them).

    Oh, if only I had tomorrow off from work.
    In my infinite wisdom I took a half day off tomorrow, thinking that it wouldn't be live until noonish. I thought I was being so clever.

    Did mine as soon as the server came up, can't make a praetorian till it goes through as 36 slots in use. We were promised unlimited transfers, we have 6 tokens, and when they fail, you lose the token.

    Half an hour now and it hasn't gone through, was more or less instant during the transfers over Christmas.

    Also globals seem to be dying all the time.
    Well the original announcement said server transfers were available Tuesday the 17th and I didn't see anything in this announcement to contradict that, so maybe it's not working yet?
  9. And I was going to use Chocolate Rain. But now I feel it's already been trumped. I'll have to think fast...

    OK, since my classic pick for music now just feels cheap, I'll go with a classic pick for stupidly cute animals (aka the KITTEH! category).

    Gesundheit!
  10. Nice. I hope Netflix will have it available, preferably streaming.

    Blood Bowl

    I never played Chaos past one or two matches because I did get frustrated at the lack of starting skills. I do pretty well with various types of teams but the various Elf and Undead teams seem to be my strong suit.

    I agree with this.
  13. I like Olivia's complete lack of shame and willingness to do or say almost anything to get a laugh. Alison is pretty great, too, and if Olivia had to go, I'm happy with Alison as a replacement. Although I would also be happy to have them steal Morgan Webb away from X-Play since she is a lot of fun when she's on the air live.
  14. Thanks for the PM! Count me in.

    Also, edit to add. Just to get this question out of the way... does it have to be on youtube or will other videos be allowed? I'm fine either way, just want to make sure I understand the rules.
  15. Yea, though I scroll through the subsection of the forums of purges, I shall fear no bannination.

    Everything I just stated has been stated by TheOcho. Cautious on the doom cry, lovely.
    Yeah. It's going to take them some time to sift through them all, but they'll start trickling back in as they go through them. I sent them 101 threads myself, so I know they must have a bunch to go through.
  17. Brisco, for exactly the opposite reason the Llama said.

    Yeah I know, it didn't take me any time to make my vote, but still I would have liked to have seen Dollhouse survive another round. I liked it.
  20. 1. Police Squad!

    2. The Honeymooners

    3. Dungeons & Dragons

    4. Firefly

    No fair pitting two Whedon shows against each other.
  21. 1. The Prisoner

    2. Pirates of Dark Water

    3. Firefly

    8. Police Squad!
  22. The Longbow base at Agincourt in Nerva has a neat little area underneath - not very extensive but there's some interesting stuff going on in there...
  23. Regarding the City Vault - the last thing I heard was that there was a major tech hurdle in that the system as designed impacted performance dramatically and a workable solution had not been found. What is the current status of this project (e.g. actively being worked on, on a whiteboard somewhere, in the circular file)?
