Come on, Mods! The parent post is so off topic it's ridiculous. Not one reference to the simpsons - just a link to a dry article about some space probe. D'oh, indeed.

It's funny - just before I checked slashdot today, I got an email from a friend with a link to retrobox.
hmmm, I wonder where he got it...
Anyway, my response to him was almost word-for-word the same as yours - '20 bucks would buy me a server/firewall twice as fast as the one I'm
using, with twice the memory!!...'
A few years ago, I would have laughed at the idea of drooling over ridiculously old hardware...but then a few years ago, I was running windows.
is an earlier post with what should have been the obvious 'excuse me, your fly is down' reference, by Androidcat.
It will be a long time before I drop UT.

I started with the shareware quake cd (a friend bought it for the Trent Reznor soundtrack, and mentioned there was supposed to be a game on the cd too) and have played the sequels and many mods, such as Team fortress, Painkeep, Rocket Arena, etc...
Urban Terror is without a doubt the best mod I have played so far. There was an ad for Syphon Filter a while ago that showed a guy superimposing the sniper scope and other items from the game on his real life activities, with the catch phrase 'it stays with you'. Urban Terror has been like for me - if you come around the corner and surprise me at work, you will (in some alternate reality linked to this one only by my imagination) be carried off in a body bag, thanks to my trusty Desert Eagle.
I've never been into guns and I don't hunt, but the models are so realistic that I often recognize them in movies. It freaks my wife out every time I yell 'he's got the G36' when we're watching Rosanne or whatever...
If they can nail down the same teamwork feel of the fortess mods, it will be very hard to beat. With the beta 3 release I think they are working on adding new game modes, which should add quite a bit to the mod.
The sad thing is, with all the hours I've logged in FPS online gameplay, you think I'd suck a little bit less...

I'm Fonda that movie.
I believe you are thinking of Emily Dickinson.
It's true, though...
This is my letter to the world,
That never wrote to me,--
The simple news that Nature told,
With tender majesty.

We've been so focused on 'stuff that matters' lately
that you guys don't get about the grandparent's post? I thought it was very well thought out...
Not that I'm a grammar Nazi,
but I do know a bit about speech
Not to mention your analysis is pretty week
Correcting a fellow slashdotter
sounds enough like you preach
but doing it while screwing it takes cheak

mod points if I had them...
'the only reason it feels normal now is that people can get used to anything if they get exposed to it enough times'
Man, that sounds a lot like a case of familiarity breeding usability.
While I tend to agree with your arguments (go, blackbox!), I was duty bound to post my first impression of your comment, as it made me chuckle.
Beeeedeeee Beeeedeeee!
Remember the little necklace 'bot thingie that was super-intelligent? Dr. whosawhatsit?
Or was that a wrinkle in time? :)
And even in my formative years, I had concerns about Mr. I'm a little-too-light-on-my-heels 'falconman' or whatever his name was...
Two people talking is a DIALOGUE.
It would take a third poster to create a discussion, and that will never happen.Last time I checked, anyway...

With apologies, of course, to... anyone who reads this.
Just thought you should know.
My kingdom for a mod point.
palms are sweaty, pulse is high
ok, the thrill is gone.
never done that before...

Actually, I'd just like milkdrop. Good stuff.
Where's the '+ 1 corny' mod when I need it?

Ah, well. You don't care about my problems any way.
What did they do, lose the REAL garage door opener in the couch?
I mean, really - LOOK IN YOUR CAR.Or was it that lugging around all the remotes for the ever present seven car garage was getting tiresome?
