On the contrary - you've been spared. :)

In all seriousness, however, seeing as we seem to have enough marching band members to form a Spiderweb brass ensemble, I think there should be a new round of custom monikers to celebrate this awesomeness.

Hello Everyone, I came up with Great idea using the game engine of Avernum in General

I think he means something more like an "Avernum: Tactics," PvP sort of game. Think multiplayer Civ I or II, which is what it would amount to.

I think it could sort of be fun, but it would have a very limited application. It would have to be completely combat-oriented, because the engine doesn't lend itself to two individuals making independent decisions on movement, actions, etc.

Out of habit and for the moderate entertainment value. It certainly (at times) beats paying attention in class.

Drew is the nickname of my first name. When I started posting here originally, I went by my full name: Andrew Miller. This was abbreviated to "AM," and then I decided just to go with Drew.

Is this why people that own Apples do own them? And why the rest of us don't? Could it simply be that part of society prefers to have aesthetically pleasing tools, and the rest don't? Maybe some sociology grad student could set up a research project to discern if the functional tools in an Apple home are of one type, and the PC home owns a different type.
I think some people do prefer aesthetically appealing tools, and it's not limited just to macs. Sony has pretty much carved out a nitch for its VAIO line of laptops, despite being more expensive yet not substantively different from its homelier competition. The aesthetic component of cell phones, pdas, and MP3 players also seem to be big selling points - how else do you explain the craze over the Motorola Razr, despite the fact that it's widely acknowledged to suck? Finally, consider the automobile. For most people, it functions as a tool used to get you from A to B. Nevertheless, its appearance seems to matter quite a bit.

w00t for ska! I haven't listened to it much in recent years, but I was a big fan of the Scofflaws and the Pie Tasters.

My G3 iBook from 2002 is still humming along too, though it's been relegated pretty much to MP3 hosting duties. If it wasn't for that blasted logic board problem, it would likely play a more prominent role in my life.

Hmm... I've still been listening to The Strokes and Weezer, as well as The Shins, though I'm lukewarm on their new album. I'm trying out Imogen Heap now.

I would reckon that they are very well aware that correlation != causation. As to being crypto-fascists, I have no comment.

This is a solecism. Advances in technology != advances in society.

I remember when the height of ecstasy was getting to play "Oregon Trail" (the first one) on the Apple IIe's in fourth grade. Usually, it was just "Logowriter" or "Number Munchers." Good ol' MECC!

I received my first "real computer" during my freshman year of high school. It was a 486 DX 33 (that's 33 megahertz) with four megs of ram and a 120 meg hard drive. I still remember loading "Quest for Glory 4" onto it via sixteen 3.5 inch disks.

Interestingly, according to the book Freakonomics, there's been a strong corrolation between an increase in the availability of abortion (read: decrease in unwanted pregnancies coming to term) and a decrease in criminal activity in the last thirty years.

Happy birthday! Enjoy Selective Service registration, suffrage, and eligibility to be prosecuted for statutory rape, as well as conventional sentences and a permanent record for all crimes. Yeehaw!

Except the US doesn't recognize the jurisdiction of the Hague.

I'm booting Ash out of Australia and into Portugal - I think it's a better fit for his ideology. As for me, I claim Chile.

I don't think there are grounds for legal action, Aran - it's more a matter of good policy. Since all information posted within the structure of this forum is "public," no one can reasonably have the expectation that information they "publish" remain private.

At least ten pushups a day. The goal is to do more, and maybe actually get to the gym, but I've found that having a simple, pragmatic baseline is the way to sustain resolutions.

Seriously, it isn't worth doing for the sake of Spiderweb games - it's well and truly covered by this site. If you wanted to make a forum where all your old Navy pals wanted to post, on the other hand, you might get somewhere with it.

A Wii, which won't happen. :(

Maybe Arkham Horror. That would be fun. :)
