That IP was, and is, Bungie's (and now Warner's), wherever installed .

Expect ninjas (probably led by Marty)... oh, anytime. They's sneaky, but there's no escape.





You'll never see it coming.

Yeah, mercifully Canadian IP laws are much more customer-friendly than in the US.  Go Canada!

But as this forum is in the US, we can't allow talk of pirating.  So let's just wrap this up.

In further news, I have no need to ever pirate Vista, because MS sent me 10 licenses 2 months ago.  I'm sitting pretty.

*splutter... splut* My paid-for copy should be arriving about... now.

That's it! I'm pirating my next videocard.

Apple to launch Clovertown Mac Pros
Now with white headphones
By Charlie Demerjian: Monday 02 April 2007, 11:03

APPLE WILL LAUNCH Clovertown-based Mac Pros tomorrow.

In a shock to no one, the 2S four-core machines will be touted as the next great thing, during Tuesday's dog and pony show.

Lamest upgrade i've ever seen on a Mac tower. So its got 8-core now...big deal...look at the rest of it...its the same machine that it was before. Wheres a new assortment of GPUs? Wheres a new case design? I bet they still don't even have SLI/Crossfire support. Just annoying to me how we've gone so long on the same models and all Apple does is drop in a new CPU. Heck coulda just provided an upgrade kit and saved $$$.

Guess I was hoping for too much

But now you get to pay $4,000 in real money for one...

What's that in Canadien dollars?

Well, why not push for a good 5k! Heck lets revisit the old days of the 10k Mac . Come on, its an Intel now! Intel means its...uhhh...Intel!

It was usurped by Harry Potter fiends.

Wish we could've played, Oats. It was a fun time.

My Hog got stuck in midair at one point between ramps, and I have a screen of me asking, "Harry Potter?"

I'd have liked that... addictions, you know.

I'd like to see that screenshot.

Still possible, I'm pretty sure I know where it is. Part of a good sequence, too. Icks, is the Clan server still up? (Not that I remember offhand how to upload screens...)

By then my Halo screens were 1600x1200 Targas, 7.32MB each. I'll reduce some soon when the dual-boot machine is rolling and PS Elements running at last (.png should be good). As I recall, it was Demo Derby on Danger Canyon with BC. The Hog just hung between ramps, touching nothing... I said, "Harry Potter?" as in, "magic?," BC engaged in various shenanigans long enough for his driverless Hog to go bye-bye, so I dismounted, went into the enclosed area and returned with plas 'nades. One 'nade later I sent him 'home' to it just as he typed "...no kill I" or some such, next screen shows a blue-white flash and a load of grenades and guns leaving it. Those were the days.

I was going to joke about what gaming 4 grand buuys you now, but Apple makes it unnecessary:

Clear now tho, right?

Bat, the web server is still up, but our super-huge file server hasn't been online for a while.  I have an alternative available, though; if its under 10MB, you can email it to me, and I'll get it hosted and linked.  Any bigger than that, and we'll have to discuss other arrangements

It was on the sold PC, and hopefully will get on the Big Mac?

10MB as mailed, for DL or both? .Tgas compress really well, and in archiving I've been doing to clear drive space, ~37% of original size is typical. I could make it 1 shot or two; if a pair of shots is kept archived for DL, 2 shouldn't be a problem. (Maybe even three, but that might be pushing it).

I suppose I can hunt 'em up for a trial. They're already on CD, maybe I should mail a copy sometime- but DVD burns are coming soon anyhoo.

Thanks- I'll think about it if needed. Meanwhile, the H2V Achievements list is up:

There are 41 achievements worth 1000 points
In total, there are 41 achievements worth 1000 points

19. Demon
Complete any campaign level without dying once on Normal, Heroic, or Legendary.

20. Go Ape Shiv
Kill an enraged, berserk Brute by melee, any level, any difficulty.

Only done it 1,000 times. Hope they made Brutes playable so I can Go Ape Shiv on Zander.

21. Stick It
Stick an opponent with a plasma grenade and blow them up.

Only 5,000-10,000 times with that one.

Z?

23. Carjacking
Steal an occupied vehicle from an opponent and take it over.

Only lost a vehicle once I didn't immediately recover.... so I blew it up.

31. Sniper Kill
Kill an opponent with the sniper rifle or the beam rifle.

32. Roadkill
Run over, hit and kill Zander with a vehicle.

Kinda specialized... but we can arrange it.

Quick, somebody besides me beat Legendary so I can get

41. Hired Gun
Kill an opponent who has the Legend achievement.

Awww... it's sad they probably won't let you customize your Spartan with that purty li'l gamechicky's head you're wearing now. That'd be sweet to vaporize with a plasnade, just a few wisps of singed hair floatin' on the breeze... if'n I don't lop it off with the engerny sword first. *fzzt* <clunk>

"Running Riot!"

Better than being a headless Spartan rotting in a corner . See I save the explosives for later when you leave in frustration . Then when theres nothing but headless corpses around, I see how many nades I can cram into the refuse ports. Its generally not a pretty sight when it explodes but the smell of BBQ afterwards does tantalize the senses .

53. Hate Crime
Kill any person, above the age of 45, who is young at heart and plays this game enough to be really good.

If only I knew someone...

Careful, son, or I'll sic the AARP on

...you.

If you'd played with us you'd know I'm the last off the field of honor (if that applies when you're there... ). Anyway I wouldn't leave you rotting headless, I'd give you a good Viking funeral. If that meant asploding your re-mains.

FIXED.

Zen, son. The no-mind combat state of mind melds it all. 'Sides, they pulled the FRG from H2 multiplayer so you're all skunked. ...I s'pose I can leave the easy, SR snipes to NC and ony headshoot him with the BR. If I can snipe well with the 360 controller, I'll rock the laser mouse. (And don't even get me started on the Brute Shot or dual needlers). W00tzorz.

...riled enough now? Come get some.
