Fair enough, although I wonder at times if my nerd props haven't become tarnished with age. Seeing Star Wars in the theatre and being DOS and CP/M capable don't have the cachet they used to. :)

(actually I've kept current a bit more than that)

Thanks for the welcome, always found your nick to be rather creative.

Nerd props never fade. If you were blessed to see SW in theaters, you're welcome here.

And thanks, but the name was given to me.
:rolleyes: You see, my first name is Derek, and yes, I often play clerics.
Derekthecleric was too long a moniker, so I shortened and altered it to fit the environment.

Cool. I was lucky to have seen it, had just turned six and was fortunate that an older cousin told my folks that it was ok for youngsters.

(thanks goodness for electrical tape, lol) :rolleyes:

It was amazing, even before dolby and surround sound.

I must admit, I haven't played often of late, but when I do, I'm partial to Paladins.

Go ahead, laugh and revoke your warm welcome. :)

I simply seem to get better rolls as a Paladin than I do in any other class.

*shrugs*

I dunno, if you know what DOS is, I think that's nerd credentials right there. :D

Yes, I suppose it does, it scares most folks that I know that I can edit config files and registry entries, hopefully that's a bit more common here.

(the tech skills, not the fear) :)

I should smack Chronie for not explaining the blockbuster online thing to you. I assume he still works there, as I do, so he should be able to tell you the benefits.

So nerds, I caved and bought myself an IPOD the other day. Now I'm in the process of putting all my CDs on it, and such. Amusingly enough, while going thru my computer files I found some pictures I completely forgot I had. It's a good think I'm not a big believer in Blackmail. :catroar:

And before anyone gets excited, they are not pictures of me. Nobody wants to see those. :p

*pouts at the non-Vessy piccies* Pooey. I want Vessy Pics!!!! I demand them!!!! :catroar:

as for Chronie, he is secretive about his job to me. I think he's a Blockbuster Ninja. Prehaps your the ninja master, Vessy! AH HA! I know your secrets! You have secret messages hidden within the zillions of movies you get people to rent daily. *Should call Chronie up at work* See what excuse he has to say! I KNOW he's hiding something from me..maybe he really does know the secret on how to put the caramel in a Caramilk bar.....*ponders about this* How could I have been so blind as to believe he's really just upselling new releases!! I have been fooled by his quick-witted charms, and his heavenly backrubs and chin scratches! Curse him! No cheesenips for a month for him!!! Mwuhahahahahaha *searches his room for the secrets of Blockbuster*

Hey, any white caster is a good caster in my book.
Paladins are just white mages who couldn't cut the harder White Magic classes.
Though, to be fair, WM401 WAS pretty rough.

...
That man has a fork in his nose.
Has anyone called an ambulance yet?

OK, so, to appreciate the "Everybody Dance!" cartoon, you have to see the entire movie it comes from, "Rejected".

Basically, it's a 9 minute movie about a cartoonist who goes insane, as illustrated by the cartoons he makes.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tD97WKRSAaY

System Shock is a FPS/Action-Adventure/RPG from the early 1990's, where you play a hacker who is trapped on Citadel space station with a megalomaniacal Artificial Intelligence named SHODAN, who has decided that she is God, and that she needs to eliminate humanity so that she can populate the universe with her own superior creations.

Why did she decide to do this? Because some hacker went and hacked into her system, removing her ethics subroutines. Good job on that one, BTW. :nana:

Basically, you spend the game sneaking around the space station, fighting SHODAN's abominations (cyborgs and mutants created from the remains of the killed crew of the space station) and coordinating with the remaining survivors to stop SHODAN from attacking Earth with Citadel Station's mining laser. You can pick up various cybernetic add-ons to give you various extra skills (rocket skates that let you go super fast, navigational devices, a camera that looks over your shoulder so you can see things sneaking up behind you, stuff like that), and you also have to go into Cyberspace, a 3D virtual reality realm where you can retrieve needed data and fight SHODAN directly.

Very intense, awesome game. There was a sequel in 1999 taking place on a space ship infested by aliens, and EA is making another sequal in the next couple of years, with Looking Glass Studios (the guys who made the first two games) making a "spiritual sequel" taking place in an underwater city named BioShock.

'I'm a consumer whore!'

Rejected is wonderful, and perhaps, the most deranged cartoon I've seen that hasn't come from Japan.

:D Anyone here seen Colorful?
It was a cartoon short during one of Japan's versions of the Jay Leno show or Conan O'Brian.
Hysterical.

Roses are red, violets are blue. This show is about Panties.

Just heading out to celebrate as well, may I say I envy your parade, just food, drink and pubs full of music here. :D

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
