    I get both these feelings when driving on the interstate!

    Do you think it ever misfires?

    Like, if I were to say, "I went to Alabama and there were all these Hicks, man!" And then he shows up all Kool-Aid man style?

    What the hell...we only have to say your name twice now? When did the [Summon Hickman] power get buffed?

    The Devs stole both of these NPC ideas from my namesake! Both of them came AFTER I made Karl Rove Man at CoV Launch.

    I demand money!

    Any regrets?

    Rather than go into all the convoluted silliness (which covers over 2 dozen spreadsheets); suffice it to say that if the developers change the game significantly I feel like re-writing my rules to incorporate the new play-elements. When this happens I delete ALL my characters... no matter how many... no matter how high a level... and start them all over at level 1.

    The last time I did this was when Mission Architect was brought out. I have a strong, gut sinking feeling that Going Rogue will see me doing yet another system-wide reboot.

    What?? You can't just say something like that and then not explain it...can you?

As someone who never shies away from using a pipe wrench to open bottles (seriously), I can easily testify as to how much damage metal under pressure can do.
    So what you're saying is...I can't use them to start my car and they don't turn on light bulbs? I don't get it.

    So I do Software Support, I've got the source code and even written some of my own...my clients know this. And I still get people who argue with me about how I'm wrong.

    Luckily, if they don't know Word or IE, that's not my problem. And if they ask a really stupid question I can tell them to go get trained.

    Not sure if they're woodwork ones either - I think those usually use a screw to close them.
    My dad has a small construction company - so I've seen the kind of tools they use
    No, they aren't meant to conduct electricity...they are meant to hold things in place. They're general purpose, so you could use them in electrical applications...but typically they hold things like tarps.

    I've also seen spotlights with these clamps on the end so you can attach them somewhere temporarily.

    Plastic can conduct electricty?
    They look like metal spring clamps to me...

    Usually they are used for clamping things.
  12. Well, it only took him about 30 seconds, but there was definitely some mouse on desk action.

    I'll have to repeat the experiment a couple times before I can make any conclusions...

    I don't know if you've ever been to RV, but it's in the future...so when I exit the zone and go back to the present, no it hasn't changed because it isn't the future yet.

    It's been 5 years and you heroes haven't even been able to clean up Outbreak...and you consider that winning?

    Sure it is...I can change the game world by winning in RV.
  21. I hate to say this...but with WoW's new EPEEN system, I really don't see CoS even making it to production.

    I'm afraid this game is DOOOOOOOOOMMMMMEEEEEDDDDD!
