Your absolutely right! I can see it now...
Dr. Venture: I have something to show you all! Those of you with weak stomachs should leave now! What you are about to see is a nightmare, inexplicably torn from the pages of Kafka!
[reveals he has transformed into a large caterpillar]
Hank Venture: Holy crap! What happened?
Dr. Venture: Apparently this is the reward I get for years of screwing with super-science. In short, I pissed in God's eye - and He blinked.
Hank Venture: [pokes Dr. Venture] Golly, does it hurt?
Dr. Venture: No. But the poking does, let's stop that now.
And thanks for great entertainment over the years.
Once again I wish I hadn't backed out of going to the first Star Trek convention all those years ago. Where I missed the opportunity to meet you in the hotel bar. Where I hear you were the highlight of the entire convention.
Remember, DuPont used to boldly proclaim "Better Things for Better Living Through Chemistry". That's still true, but no modern Ad agency would dare say that for fear of reminding the undereducated that the world is made out of Chemicals. Courses that attempt to prevent that sort of dichotomy from occuring with Nanotech, etc, are frankly a good thing, as long as they're not led by the fear-mongering Rifkins of the world.
It's people. Soylent Green is made out of people. They're making our food out of people. Next thing they'll be breeding us like cattle for food. You've gotta tell them. You've gotta tell them!
I've been in a lot of towns and smaller citys, both before and after they get a Wal-Mart Superstore. The empty store fronts are painfully obvious after the W-M SS has been in town for about 2 years.
With HDTV, the box is manufactured by a party other than my content provider.
And all the content is provided by a multitud of parties other than my content provider.
When looked at thusly, my content provider is just the tapeworm getting fat of everyone elses efforts.
(No matter, I'll be playing parts of it over again anyway...)
I remember keeping a save of the original H-L for months.
It was right before the ninja/assissins.
I'd load up the game, go into god mode and crowbar the frak out of them.
Great stress relief after a bad day.
Gotta say one thing for Valve / Half-Life...

I'd have sacrificed a year off my life to have seen his face when he first saw Spidey web-slinging thru the city.
I bet it was one of the bigest grins ever.
And does anyone care or want to know?

one less than infinite.
Norton stopped about 20 attempts to hit me with viri and trojans
I can see him in his Cowboy outfit now :p

Also, Blizzard forum accts have been hacked before iirc.
I'll believe it when the announcment is sitting in my inbox...
And no one cared

Scary shit.

They bought a ton of face time on /.
Will have it on the shelves at 12am 11/23/04. The sad part is, all I have is a wal-mart, or buy online...
Not into shooters so much anymore, and H-L2 feels like it arrived 3 years too late....
If your going to charge a monthly fee, at least provide the client software for free.
Or at least have an option to download the client and purchase a key at a reduced rate for those that don't want another box lying around the house.
