Is it just me, or are wisdom teeth the epitome of evil??

Re: The Race to 1k Posts thread.. BYOP!
 

Nope; it's just you who's the epitome of evil. Not wisdom teeth. Well, maybe YOUR wisdom teeth. But not wisdom teeth in general.

I don't feel much wiser either before they came in or after they were taken out... Hrm...

Re: The Race to 1k Posts thread.. BYOP!
 

Well I don't feel any more foolish now that they're out...but where they were still hurts like hell! Can't even eat solid food... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif

hehehe, freespace 2?

Re: The Race to 1k Posts thread.. BYOP!
 

Heh. That was a mix of some messages from Freespace 2. I much preferred Freespace 1 campaign, but since you can play FS1 with FS2, and not the other way around, Freespace 2 is better. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif Dive dive dive! Hit your burners pilot!

This message was brought to you by the Microsol Corporation.

They are called Wisdom teeth due to the timing of their appearence - usually in the 15-20 year range - which for much of Earth's history was adulthood. They are one mark of full growth.

hehe i remember that and i was rammed by a Juggernaugh (sorry about my spelling), damn.

I need more players for the Invasion! Offical 0.41 PBW game

you can get the mod here:

Re: The Race to 1k Posts thread.. BYOP!
 

It was not *a* Juggernaut, but *the* Juggernaut: the most powerful warship ever constructed... except the player that is, who can take down a Juggernaut any day with a bank of Trebuchets and a resupply vessel. I reacted in time when I first loaded this mission, but I didn't pay attention to the actual words that were being shouted, so I ended up going *up* instead of going down. The result wasn't pretty, though I almost made it after realising my mistake... well, almost was a couple hundred meters, but still.

Let's see if someone knows Microsol, the most wicked corporation to have ever existed (no known connection with Microsoft).

Re: The Race to 1k Posts thread.. BYOP!
 

Sorry, I don't know of any Microsol; just Macrohard and their Doors.

I guess Freespace isn't free?

Re: The Race to 1k Posts thread.. BYOP!
 

It isn't, though part of the game should be available at the Underdogs. However, I believe your friends are free to offer you a copy of the game, due to a very unusual EULA; it is your best bet to get the game actually, since it has been discontinued by the publisher. There is also the Babylon Project which allows you to play Freespace, but only the Babylon conversion, and not anything else.

And if you meant "free" as in "freedom"... Well, that shall be your goal! Secure space! Crush your foes! You are the deadliest weapon in the universe, able to take down juggernauts by the hundred on your own! Literally, if you are patient enough (two hours and counting to take down the biggest vessel in the game). Fighters were worth their grain of salt in Freespace. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: The Race to 1k Posts thread.. BYOP!
 

X2 is probally funner. It seems like fun to command a fleet of hundreds of fighters, a few carriers with jump drives, and dreadnaughts with HEPTs and jump drives.

Can anyone guess what game I have been playing lately? ..here's a hint..

KOTOR 2 is fun, maybe even funner than the first one. Playing as the protocol droid is kinda fun http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: The Race to 1k Posts thread.. BYOP!
 

well i don't have pacience to destroy a Juggernaut with my fighter.
The same happened to me the first time i played that mission and with those shivan devices, i was near it when it exploded if my memory don't fails the hull of my ship was on 10% more or less http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

I can't play the Star Wolves demo, it won't work. I'm just saying.

Heard a single off an interesting band from NY called "Interpol" it was a B-side named "Song 7", I think...

I was on the road in Atlanta at the time...

Watch the video for "Evil" by Interpol on the iTMS. That puppet is just disturbing for me... I think the only thing scarier is EEE.........

Cloaking Tech!!

It's a beginning, I guess... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: The Race to 1k Posts thread.. BYOP!
 

Lurking devices are currently better than cloaking devices.

Re: The Race to 1k Posts thread.. BYOP!
 

No, CLOAKING devices are better. It doubles as a lurking device http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: The Race to 1k Posts thread.. BYOP!
 

Now all we have to do is shrink our ships down to microscopic size so we can cloak them...

Re: The Race to 1k Posts thread.. BYOP!
 

And have them get eaten by a small dog?

Re: The Race to 1k Posts thread.. BYOP!
 

Don't forget, they have to travel across intergalactic distances as well...

42 is the answer to all your questions.

Re: The Race to 1k Posts thread.. BYOP!
 

I thought that was the hokey pokey?

Re: The Race to 1k Posts thread.. BYOP!
 

Not quite. It's only the answer to "What do you get when you multiply six by nine?" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif Oh wait, that's the corrupted version of the question, isn't it.

Re: The Race to 1k Posts thread.. BYOP!
 

What is the question? Do you know what the question is?

Re: The Race to 1k Posts thread.. BYOP!
 

The ultimate question that 42 answers is what is 6 times 9?

Re: The Race to 1k Posts thread.. BYOP!
 

I've read all five books, and I don't think the ultimate question is ever revealed, but there is one attempt to figure it out by having Arthur Dent, the last surviving component of the supercomputer known as Earth that was destroyed 5 minutes before solving the problem, pull scrabble tiles from a bag without looking. They come out in this order: "whatdoyougetwhenyoumultiplysixbynine".

Re: The Race to 1k Posts thread.. BYOP!
 

Yup. But 6 times 9 is NOT 42.

Re: The Race to 1k Posts thread.. BYOP!
 

6 times 9 IS 42. Definitively.

Let's see. Consider the decimal system is no more, and maths abide by something more complicated (like imperial measures compared to the metrical system). If you make this operation in a base 13 system (where 10 means 13 in our own system), 42 is equal to 13X4+2=54, exactly the result of 6X9 in a base 10 system. So, 6X9=42 is perfectly correct, so long as we are in a base 13 system.

If memory serves, the Scrabble board used in the books is only thirteen tiles long, while a standard board has 15 tiles (I think). Therefore, the question can easily be solved. Now, please sit tight while the current universe is destroyed to make way for a zanier universe, as per the First Rule of Universal Physics.
