>Oh Man, oh man, oh man! Jurassic Bark, the episode featuring Seymour the dog, has to be one of the best written pieces of television I've ever seen, as well as one of the saddest. Look, I'm a grown man, and every time I see that episode, I cry. Anything that can do that is good television.
Glad to know I'm not alone. That was about the saddest thing I've ever seen on TV.
> You can open WordPerfect documents in Word and they work. (Disclaimer: I haven't actually tried this, and only assume that this was the case when Word was 'new')
For what it's worth (which I realize isn't much) the last time I tried this was around 1999, and Word made a mess of the very simple WordPerfect documents I was trying to open (it was Office 97, but I'm not sure of the WordPerfect version involved, anymore).
I tried some multiplayer, and didn't see the crash you mention.
I agree 100% about Combat Casting. I got through the entire game and still don't know what triggers that to toggle on and off. I wish there were a way to turn it the #$%^ on and leave it that way... or at least for it to turn on instantly when I click the mode button.
I dumped Elanee because she had a tendancy to use badger form and try to melee rather than cast, despite having Natural Spell.
The warlock NPC had an annoying habit of chain-casting his "Animate Dead" ability uselessly, rather than blast away with his Eldritch Blast, so I wound up micromanagiing him.
I also noticed a pretty bad frame rate despite a fairly good system.
Despite all this, I enjoyed the game. My main disappointment was with the ending.
A large percentage of the founders were Deists, and did not follow strict Christian teachings.... though they did believe in the concept of a supreme being, they didn't necessarily believe in the concept as laid out in the Judeo-Christian bible.A good number were also Freemasons, and one of the requirements for membership is belief in "a supreme being", which no emphasis on who or what that being is.
Advertising before movies was the final straw for me. I haven't been to a regular theater since... Return of the King came out, I think.
I had been under the impression that the overpriced food was the way the theater made money. When they added advertising crap, I decided I was done.
Luckily, there's a great place near where I live in Southern NH/northern MA called Chunky's which has 1) ticket prices below those of the big theaters, 2) better food, about what you'd find at 99's or the equivalent, 3) Cadillac car seats, and 4) no $%^&ing commercials (there is a *silent* slide show before the movie starts, but that doesn't matter to me as I read or talk to friends before the movie starts anyway).
I don't know how they do it. I would never see movies anymore if they didn't.
The Esperanto language was created to be everyone's common language, so that people with different native tongues could interact equally, while not replacing regional languages or dialects. I'm surprised neither of you have mentioned this.

I thought video killed them?
Irrelevant. We are Zogg.
Your numbers are a bit screwy. 70mph = 102.67fps, so a 2-second gap is about 205ft.
And it's not ad-infested. I salute the author.

Great idea, it can be set in Russia!
you know that story about the earth being full of idiots? .. it is NOT a legend
... and they're dense enough to provide 1g surface gravityTry blocking Flash and turning on Popup Blocking.
"I wager 400 yahootles on the newcomer" just doesn't sound right. They should have listened to their inner geeks and used 'quatloos'.

They hate it when you anthropomorphisize them.

Relax. :-)
Unfair moderation, you make valid points.
4 out of 5 Grays recommend Astrolube for smooth, productive probings.
Seems to me there's a business model in there somewhere. All you need is a Step 2).
Not "Ban on Louisiana; Video Game Law Now Permanent"? :-)

Just mentioning that as a point of interest.

Yes, but not if you're one of those idiots with a flying SUV.
Or AmigaOS. I'd pay for that :-).
And don't forget gravediggers.
Mrs. Smiley: Do you dig graves?
Niel: Yeah, they're all right, yeah.
I miss The Young Ones...
You make good and interesting points.

I lived in that general area a long time ago, and yes, the landscape consistes almost entirely of small lakes and golf courses.
