Indiana, USA, here. Yeah, "guys" refers to a group of males and females only if they are friends or acquaintences (informal). If it is a formal setting, then the phrase is "Ladies and Gentlemen."

A - Mostly mixed drinks at restaurants during dinner and very rarely at some parties I get drunk. There's no sense in getting "wasted" IMHO. I'd rather remember how much fun I had and how much the alky helped. LOL B - Tried a few times. Hated it. My mother smoked all through my childhood and I hated it then too. C - Did Wacky Tobbacy 4 or 5 times. I made everyone laugh because I told them I could feel my vertebrae compressing (it relaxes your back muscles). When on that stuff, everyone's a comedian. I quit after a bad hit sent me to the floor and I thought I was going to die. The room was spinning and everything. Don't know what happened, because the other two people were fine. Maybe I hit a seed or something. Anyway, won't touch the stuff again, even though the previous 4 times were good. I'd have to say that although I won't do B or C ever again, I wouldn't pass some law forbidding someone to do them in the privacy of their own home and I do not understand how any red blooded American would support such laws.

Oh, you knucklehead. See? You a 0AD Enthusiast x 4 (46 posts)!

Drummer here, but mostly concert and marching drums. I wouldn't mind learning set.

Tim - any data to back up your assertion? It'd be interesting to see the numbers.

Akya... you could always send it to me and I'll host it for you. mythos_ruler@mythosclan.net

Well, that's what I'd like to see in our editor.

Well, who thought yesterday that we'd be having this conversation today? We could capture Osama tomorrow. It probably won't happen tomorrow, but that's how these things go. BTW - was that army doctor looking for lice or Weapons of Mass Destruction in that beard? DOCTOR (searching through Saddam's beard): Keys? Check. Loose change. Check. Lice. Check. Weapons of Mass Destruction. Negative. Open your mouth so I can look for chemical or biological weapons. No wonder the doctor was wearing latex gloves! Saddam's breath alone was probably a WMD.

I am afraid that my son will die from something totally preventable because I won't be there when it happens to stop it.

Protounit Scaling: This would be across the board scaling for all units of a specific type. In the AOT editor one can only scale individual units, but what I propose is the ability to scale the whole class of that unit... so that even if a player trains additional Legionnaires, for instance, the new legionnaires will be scaled accordingly.

Mythos Ruler is da bomb Testing... attention please...

There's a distinct difference between vandalism and art. A vandal's medium is someone else's property, hence wrong. An artist's medium is his own property, or that of a willing participant's, hence right.

I'd play the guy that survives to tell the tale.

Short.

Well, I doubt there was any real *actual* footage.

I have quite a few "perfect games" in mind... Here's one: The Star Wars Saga A Real Time Strategy First Person Role Playing Game. Muahahahaha!!! Basically it starts at Episode I and takes you straight through to Episode VI. In this game you can jump at-will between any of the main characters on either the Good side or Dark side. You can change camera views from 1st person to 3rd person (adventure). You can jump into any vehicle or ship and pilot it like a simulation game or like Red Squadron II. You can command squadrons of ground troops, a squad of X-Wings, or whole armies and fleets in RTS view. All this in one game.

"The Ancient City" By Peter Connolly and Hazel Dodge. Great coffee table book about the workings of both ancient Athens and ancient Rome! "How NOT to Write a Screenplay" by Denny Martin Flinn. Both of these books have been an inspiration for the screenplay I am writing (Coming to a Theater Near You - Summer 2006!). "The Ancient City" has also inspired many a concept sketch for the Hellenes and Romans.

HAN SOLO thunders into the stadium in the Millennium Falcon. The crowd goes wild. Escorted by his trusty sidekick, CHEWBACCA, he decends the ramp to the squared circle. "Well, Chewie, this looks like a good hiding spot from Jabba the Hut and those bounty hunters," says Han. Chewbacca replies, "Ung Ung Argh." (Wookie:English translation: Why do you keep talking to me in English, when I have no clue what you're saying? By the way, I just took a dump on the Princess Leia picture taped to the ceiling over your bunk. Don't ask me how I managed that, but I did. That $%@$# annoys the %$@#$ out of me. Oh, and you don't know this yet, but she's Luke's sister. It's sooooo obvious. I could tell way back on the Death Star. And I thought you shot Greedo first. Coulda swore... Oh well.") Just then, into the stadium strolls INDIANA JONES, complete with bullwhip and fedora hat. By his side is his trusty sidekick, SHORT ROUND. "You better watch your back Doctor Jones. Short Round says his Pinchers of Peril are broken," says Short Round, as usual: talking about himself in thrid person. (English:Wookie translation: Argh Ung Ugh.) "That's alright Short Round," says Indy, "Fortune and Glory, kid. Fortune and Glory." Han motions to Short Round, "Hey kid! Where did you dig up this old fossil?" "Isn't that my line?" chimes in Indy. "Hey buddy! You call him Doctor Jones!" replies Short Round to Han's taunt. "My professional name," says Indy, grinning at the camera. "Ugh Ung Ung!" Says Chewie. And the HEAT is on! Who will win this match between two icons of the silver screen. Who has the biggest EGO?! Two men enter. One man leaves.

Other cars that almost ride on top of your back bumper, going 70 MPH down the highway.... especially when they see they you can't merge, because there's an 18-Wheeler SEMI in the way. My situation was like this: ...S M E E M ....I H I M The semi was going 70+ (!!!) and so was I and my "attacker." So, basically I was stuck next to the semi for 20 seconds while I passed it. The whole time this guy (in a LEXUS, seems like its always someone with a LEXUS or SUV) was driving less than a meter behind me.... desperately trying to get me to speed up. * So, the moment I could finally safely merge into the slow lane in front of the semi I did merge... but not before SLAMMING on my breaks to send my attacker a message. He apparently didn't see me do this in time and nearly slammed into my rear bumper... so he had to slam his breaks (how much I reeeeeelly wanted to scratch his new Lexus). This pisses him off something fierce, so when I finally merge over he speeds up to 85MPH, then cuts right in front of me and slams on his breaks. Of course I had to slow down too, but not nearly like what I did to him. He threw me the finger, then sped off at 80MPH +. Now this was all happening in a 65MPH zone. I was laughing the whole time. It surely got my adrenaline pumping. * Do not try this at home.

Contests should probably be on a monthly basis. Once you announce the winner for one contest you announce the subject for next month's contest.

Y'know what? You can't go wrong with a movie that has a Ninja vs. Samurai battle in it. You needed proof that I was human?

I'd like to buy my own Aegean island. It'd have to have a high speed internet connection somehow though.

I'm a man. I'll admit I shed more than a few tears while seeing The Last Samurai today. I urge all to go see it. That final battle scene where you know how it has to end, but you dread it anyway, is great. All the performances are good to brilliant; except maybe the Emperor, but prolly because English wasn't his first language (apt for the charcter methinks!). Katsumodo - The guy who played this character sold the movie. WOW. Algren - Cruise hits another home run. Taka - Such a beautiful woman and a beautifully understated performance. Ujio - Man, this guy rocks. The kids - Hollywood had to go to a different country to find children that can act! Wow. If you ask me, "Was this better than The Two Towers?" I would say yes. "Was this better than Braveheart?" I would say yes. But I would also say you are asking the wrong questions. You should be asking, "Was it a good story, with beautiful cinematography, skillfully acted characters, and exciting action?" and I would say yes, yes, yes, and yes. Will this win Best Picture? Probably not, but I don't want to jump to any conclusions yet. I really have no faith in the Academy either way though. All I can say is, go see this movie, and it might be the Best Picture in your own heart. I will part with this; the best sex scene ever filmed is in this movie, but lo and behold, it has no sex. If you see this film you will know the scene to which I refer. On a scale of 1 - 100, I give it a 95!

Yes, the honking of the car horn for *hesitating* at a green light. Always irritates. It never happens *to* me, but I feel bad for people it happens to. People cutting me off is okay. I do it a lot on the highway, but people who cut you off and then slow down... what is that about? Or people that cut you off, then give you the finger. WTF
