Do tell, is it an adaption of the Sign of Four?

I feel as though the burn would of worked better as a one-liner; the second sentence just added unnecessary information and really ruined the flow.

But you have to admit, whole lot better than white trailer trash intrigue.

Should totally move to Kansas :U

Then again the industry is dying here so maybe not. Depends on your chosen profession.

I think Jeb promised us a multi-person boat in the future.

Congratulations, Blade; you've managed to download TF at speeds faster than the entire world's ISP routers combined could. By several orders of magnitude.

I think Steam carried the wrong exponential =P

I'm sorry but I just can't stop laughing.

Homemade or storebought? Because if homemade, I need that recipe. My eggnog recipes always foam up.

I think something that might be causing problems is the age gap here; in my experience, RPGs of any forum tend to attract an older audience. While certainly not unheard of for younger players (I got into COTRPGs when I was ten or something so there's that), the bedrock community I see in OTC tends to be 14/15+. Problem is, as members get older, they have a tendency to migrate from the site in the continual cycle of life, so we've been losing veteran players and not really having new ones spring up. Even a good chunk of the veteran crowd in the OTC now is only one-two years experienced, compared to back when we had the likes of Robo and Exo-Fat running around.

And of course there's the big big factor the BZPRPG plays into all of this; so often I'll be on Skype, in one of the RPG chats, and be waiting for something to be done in the OTC, only to get the "sorry BZPRPG stuff to do" response. It's a massive RPG and it sucks up a lot of time, something of particular value to the older, veteran, crowd, many of whom are going into or are in college. Admittedly, it's always been like this, but back in the golden days of the COT RPGs, there were also a whole lot more players to go around, as well as many of the veteran crowd that stuck specifically to COT.

I suppose the tl;dr of it is 1)RPGs appeal to an older crowd, one that's increasingly scarcer on BZP 2)Said older crowd is moving on with their lives, and if you only have a handful veterans, a 10% drop per year is going catch up to you real fast. 3)There isn't enough inflow to the community to make up for the outflow and 4)The BZPRPG is a time sink for aforementioned shrinking veteran crowd.

Sign me up for Saturday.

Personally I'm a bit distraught about the current state of the OTC RPGs; we have only two active RPGs right now, and while there are some in the approval queue, the state of the RPG scene over here is kinda terrible. I think, perhaps, there should be a greater emphasis on RPGs. Maybe this has already been done but just as good creations and stories get publicity on the front page, there should be some sort of RPG editoral, maybe a biweekly or monthly release discussing the latest in RPGs. Of course, that'd require activity to report on, but the hope is it can snowball itself.

Took the ACT Compass last week for similar reasons; dunno what the Canadian system uses, but the ACT Compass Math isn't that terrible. Whole lot of functions inside functions.

We Kansans get the second biggest IMAX in the world for $15 a ticket. :3

Yeah, Angry Joe did an unlinkable rant on that. The man swears a bit too much for BZP's tastes, but I basically agree with him: there were a lot of other actresses that not only would of portrayed Wonder Woman better, but also had something resembling acting talent. There's a surprising number of actresses out there that are actually buff and athletic; something Wonder Woman is suppose to be. She's an Amazon after all, kinda comes with the turf.

But, nerp, nerp, one of the Big Three of DC is going be a secondary character in a teamup movie. She is basically the only major superhero not to get a big-screen release. Animated movie, yes, and it was a pretty great movie, but nothing in the cinemas. It's a serious problem.

I would say that this came before Sumiki but, as we all know, Sumiki is a time traveler.

I think Twitch.tv is a good option; it's pretty reliable, though integrating group video calls isn't nearly as easy as the unified Google Hangouts-Youtube system. Audio shouldn't be too much of a hassle, though.

It will get better once you start upgrading more stuff, but really I think the Arkham games are best played with a controller. It's a $20 investment at your local walmart, though I'm not entirely sure how well gamepads play with Macs, and should make the experience a lot more enjoyable. The game simply is not as smooth on a keyboard.

At the bit rate the article says, it'd take nearly 14 hours to transmit one megabyte of information.

It's... not very feasible, not with the complexity viruses need to have nowadays.

I'd like a source for that, as I'm somewhat curious as to how they're using sound to actually do that.

Eventually you'll become like me, where you greedily save your money year-round just to splurge it when Steam sales come.

Done so.

Count me in; my username is dralexhumva.

CS:GO is on sale right now for 75%. If the store ever decides to load, well, check your account. ;]

Tried Dark Souls at my friend's once; I just couldn't get into it's hardcore-ness. :[

Bah, BRPGs. I prefer my spot in the OTC. =P
