Texas Justice

I'd find it hard for you to do a worse job than what they are currently doing.

This is a really funny one as well if you read the announcement about the forum maintenance.

I enlarged the part I find particularly funny. I look at my name and I see it still white. I see other VIP's names in white. A few are goldenrod, but most are white.

Of course, based on the Web Services team's past track record, I think that last sentence should have been worded as follows:

This maintenance will attempt to set VIP players' forum names to goldenrod by default, and will create other miscellaneous issues.

Once again, the Web Services team has stuck to their usual standard results.

The problem is that if I go ahead and book it using the method TonyV listed in his response (booking at least two weeks prior and prepaying) since we don't have a group rate code, that 0.0001% chance would happen and the venue would change.

I have my flight and rental car booked, but I refuse to book my hotel until you have a contract and are able to give us a group rate code.

BTW, for anyone looking at rental cars, go through Hotwire. At the last Pummit I had a full-size car from Hertz for $17.95/day and this trip I'll have a full-size car from Alamo for $14.95/day. Looking at the rates I got through either the rental agency, the airline (packaging with my flight and using one of their reward partners) or from other conglomerate travel sites I'm going to be saving between $25.00/day and $35.00/day on the car alone. That's a very good savings over any other method I looked at, including the www.carrentals.com site.

The rates have fluctuated for the past few weeks between $14.95/day and $18.95/day on Hotwire, so just keep checking to see when you get the lower rate. I've seen it change rates several times in the same day.

I'm likely not going to make any commitments on rides this time since I think I got my schedules fouled up last time and missed giving someone a ride that I had committed to.

I've gotten it scheduled so that I'll be arriving just before 11 AM on Friday and I'm not leaving until after 6 PM Sunday evening, so I'll have a bit of extra time Sunday.

I'm already planning a Schaub's run Friday for lunch, and will definitely be doing another Holder's Country Inn run for Bacon Waffles either Saturday or Sunday breakfast. Other than that I'm waiting for Red Gren to find my Friday night Justice dinner venue.

Of course I'm mostly waiting for Zwimamacusernow to give the details for 100% nailed down venue, karaoke information, the Saturday schedule including the Saturday evening meal, etc.

Hopefully, the Saturday evening meal will include a real beef offering instead of the "beef" meal we got last time that had everyone at our table wishing they'd ordered the chicken. Well, Black Pebble may not have wished he'd ordered the chicken, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't what he expected it to be.

I haven't checked any of the building heights, but I haven't noticed any changes to the buildings.

Aside from the obvious fact that I can see them from a distance now.

Creating those shortcuts and using them will actually do the same thing that using the link to Update the (not installed) CoH Subscriber Beta would do. It will install the CoH Subscriber Beta client and move that link from the Not Installed section to the Installed section.

Since your previous post didn't mention you seeing Beta in the Not Installed section and your post actually said you didn't see it listed in the Launcher window it is very likely that Aggelakis' instructions were based on it either not being there or you not seeing it at all.

I'm from Texas.

A gun being cocked is a given.

*coughspitcough*

You owe me a new monitor and keyboard.

And I almost broke my arm when I fell out of the chair laughing.

What we got here is ... failure to communicate.

Not at all. I disagreed with your assessment of Dell, based on my own personal experience and the experiences of people I know. It had nothing to do with my opinion of you.

And mine was based on me knowing quite a bit about computers, mostly since I make my living as a computer tech. You admitted in your own post that you know very little of computers.

My opinion of the Alienware being overpriced had nothing at all to do with it being owned by Dell since I had that opinion long before Dell bought them.

Those were points I already made in the previous post.

I didn't realize your reading comprehension was poor enough that I'd have to make the same points again for you.

Maybe this time you'll understand the points being made.

Horse hockey.

I've bought several systems from Dell over the years that were designed for gaming and not had any problems with them. I've bought systems from Dell not designed for gaming but made with quality parts that gamed very well and had no problems.

I have a few friends that have also bought gaming and non-gaming systems from Dell with no problems.

Pricewise, the "gaming" models were competitive with other "gaming" rigs from various manufacturer's.

Of course, since I work as a computer technician, I also know how to keep my system maintained properly which may be one of the reasons I have different experiences than others. But my friends aren't techs, so that can't be the only reason.

That being said, I wouldn't recommend an Alienware system. Even before being bought out by Dell they were over-priced and you got less bang for the buck than several other gaming systems available.

Most of what you are paying for is the name, and that isn't worth the higher price you'll pay for it.

The OP appears to be VIP (I have the option to send a Private Message to them) so that shouldn't be a factor.

As Xzero45 said, there are plenty of Tsoo in Steel Canyon.

Along with the ones near Icon that was mentioned earlier, there are also a fair amount along the Southeast portion of the map from around the Hospital and Magic store up to the Northeast portion all the way to the Brickstown entrance.

If you aren't finding Tsoo in Steel Canyon, you aren't trying.

EDIT: Bah, directions were off. Southwest and Northwest were what I meant to say, not Southeast and Northeast. That's what I get for posting while trying to leave for supper. Too distracted to get the directions right. Then again, this is coming from the person that routinely gets lost with a GPS.

That seems rather odd as we were told we would have to fill all of a Tier before being able to select anything in the next Tier.

I wonder if they made this change after making the pets mutually exclusive to each other (can only have one out at a time). If so, it wasn't announced.

I haven't heard anything about who the Karaoke DJ will be this time, but if it's the same one they had last time I think you likely won't need to bring your own.

She had it all on digital equipment and had a really nice collection of songs as well. I was extremely surprised when I asked what Johnny Cash songs she had and she pulled it up on screen and had to scroll to get to the rest of the songs. There were some rather obscure Cash songs in the list, so I know it wasn't just a Best Of type list. From what I saw of other artists listed she had a wide ranging collection.

I'm hoping Zwinkeldipsydoo will let us know who will be doing the Karaoke DJ services so I can contact them about some specific questions I have. It would also allow you to find out if they have the songs you are looking for and if they'll let you bring your own (if they are compatible with their system).
