And, yeah, I liked 'em to, but this was closest to what was kicking around in the back of my head...and it's 56k modem friendly.

Finally, an avatar that was thought out for us dial-up people!

Today is a great day for 56K.

More like a TOS reference.

Whom God's Destroy.

Linky.

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

That avatar gives me a new perspective. Now, I'd like to play him in a game of chess...

Fun stuff.

What makes me laugh is that:

(a) This game was envisioned by a group of 40yr olds who are addicted to comic books.

(b) Created by folks who spent more time in further education rather than 'getting a life' and who spend their days staring at C++ and maths books.

(c) Maintained and operated by people who spend their days sitting in front of a PC then probably go home and relax on.. a PC.

Then as you said its played by people who love comic books, superheroes and spend their lesuire time infront of a PC. So at what point here doesn't the term 'dork' or 'geek' come to mind?

The world has changed folks, dorks and geeks are now the biggest money earners while the guys who dropped out of school to get a job, hang out down the bar with their mates and sit around watching the superbowl aren't earning more than a basic wage. Its scary though, people like Castle here make more money in 6 months than most couples would earn together when working a fulltime job in a year.

Respect the geek, for he hath the mooonayyy!

Funny random story...

I got into a debate with someone in Mercy Island a couple weeks back; not even sure what it was about exactly (it was a point of minutea (sp?)) but... this third person suddenly says.

"shut up i hate nerds"

<,< You can imagine what that did... My response...

"You're playing a computer game about superheroes, and you're complaining about nerds?" >.>;

>.> In other words! Take pride in your dorkiness, your geekdom, your granted powers of nerd! <o.O>m

(Nice choice <,< thats what I meant to say!)

Oh, man. If you have to ask, you're not nerdy enough.

Nahh, because like every other Star Trek game ever created (except possibly Star Fleet Battles) it will likely suck.

HA! Have you seen the replays of Triumph The Insult Dog on G4 recently? His Conan O'Brien "interview" with the Star Wars fans is part of it, and when he talks to the guy dressed like Darth Vader, it's priceless:

"M-m-my n-n-name is T-T-Triumph, oh scary nerd!"

Oh, and nice avatar--"Queen to Queen's level three" (exceptionally nerdy ST reference).

BIG exception! The exact size of that exception is outlined in rule D5.7.11p, right after the exception for Wild Weasels.

By the way, notice how Castle didn't answer the "please don't kill me" bit? Muuuhahahahahaaa!
