Herd of Cats

So I was playing COD4 last night, waiting for Coxxorz to finish dinner and join me (BlackWalt wasn't supposed to join because he was supposed to be spending quality time with his wife, who fell asleep on him. Figures.) when I notice MoriceRevek appear online. I think, great!. We have another HoC member to sacrifice to the COD4 wolves. So I send him an invite. Read more

At Christmas I received three Timmies' gift cards. Something I was very happy about.

However, it seems that my regular drivethru stop is not totally prepared for them.

Here is a picture of my third issue with the Timmies' staff. Please note the bottom entry Request Additional tender 129.39. Yes, it was a $130 coffee. Where was I? Starbucks?

Needless to say, this erased my card completely and her simple question "How much money did you have on the card?" kind of tipped me off to the problem.

According to information compiled by the Greenberg Center at Johns Hopkins Medical Center and by the late Lee Kitchens, a past president of LPA, the frequency of occurrence of the most common types of dwarfism is as follows:

Achondroplasia (one per 26,000 to 40,000 births)
SED (one per 95,000 births)
Diastrophic dysplasia (one per 110,000 births)

I was originally translating Notice UNLOCALIZED(Failed to recvfrom() socket, error WSAEMSGSIZE. ) as your clan sucks so the server booted you but Q-Bert and MoriceRevek weren't with us so I had to come up with something else.

It's now going in the Lexicon of Death as You guys were so awesome that the server had to boot you!

Yeah, I'm good with that.

That is as much time I cared to hear talking about a Macintosh.

It's finally happened: Karloff has a new DSL modem and has committed to a night of uninterrupted online gaming bliss!

Clan members, friends, and enemies alike are invited to partake - virtually (we don't need to see your face, really) in all manner of humiliation, from Call of Duty 4 and 3, right down to Halo 3. Festivities begin "at 4:02" according to Karloff, however I would allow an additional 20 seconds for him to heed nature's call...

Early Blu-ray adopters to get the shaft as the Blu-ray Disc Association introduces BD Profile 2.0

"They knew what they were getting into," is the official response.

Betanews has the full scoop.

Left 4 Dead delayed til late summer.

From ShackNews, the announcement from Valve that this much anticipated title has been delayed.

Please note that this was announced shortly after Valve bought Left 4 Dead developer Turtle Rock Studios.

...and mice, zombie mice!

OMG

I snapped the CD in half like you said, but then something strange happened. It sort of melted into a pool of shiny metalic liquid, then the 2 halfs moved towards one another and recombined. But that is not all! The pool of liquid then started to grow, and turned into a small robot! It had a tiny little gun, and started to shoot me!! At least it did not hurt, but it sure stung like hell. While it was peppering me with its tiny bullets, it moved to my pile of blank CD's. Now this is the strangest thing of all. While shooting at me, it reached out with its hand towards the pile of blank CD's. Two little tentacles shot out from its wrists, and planted themselves in the pile of CD's. You will not believe what happened next. Every one of those CD's turned into a copy of Windows Bob. Except for the topmost one, which turned into Microsoft Windows Ultimate.

Mr. Mojo Risin', Mr. Mojo Risin'
Mojo Risin', gotta Mojo Risin'
Mr. Mojo Risin', gotta keep on risin'

"Yes, I'm back Baby!" And Stormblade is again trailing the pack where he belongs. Coxxorz bounced from middle of the pack to the top. And the rest of you "LOSERS" to quote Stormblade were nowhere to be found. Losers!

I cannot see the polls or the search option after I log in. I can see them fine when I am not logged in, but as soon as I log in, they go away. Are you trying to tell me that my vote is not important? That my opinion does not matter? Should we then switch our polling section to use the Diebold (ack! now the secret service is going to show up at my door!) software? Or are we already using it?

Last night Coxxorz and I witnessed the unmanning of Blackwalt. It was a sad moment. There he was finishing not once or twice, but three times at or near the bottom of the points list in COD4. On the last map, he finished five kills behind me!

Now, for me, this is no big deal. I suck. I admit it. On one map, I finished with ZERO kills. But hey, that's me. Read more

Well ladies, here is another movie that we must support, as it is based on that wonderful game, Dungeon Siege. Forgive me if I do not link to the actual game in the article, I am behind a firewall which prevents me from browsing to it.

With this stellar cast: Jason Statham, Ray Liotta, John Rhys-Davies, Ron Perlman, Claire Forlani, Burt Reynolds, how could it possibly fail? Read more

My original title for this article was Thursday Night Mayhem but seeing as how its Wednesday...

Go figure.

Tonight starting at 9:30.

Stormblade and Coxxorz are already in.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - Herd of Cats' style!

Which means no style at all of course.

It looks like Alienware may have a solution for me.

Of course, there is also the Panasonic solution although with Alienware I would only need a bigger desk, with Panasonic I would need a new house. A much bigger new house.
