    Massively Malygris Online Games

    MUDs for the most part were populated by college kids and even then those precious few that could get an account with internet access (which was rare in those days). Even MUDs had jerks.

    Is it just me or will American troops' stupidity never stop?

    Maybe it would have been better had he strapped explosives to himself and walked into a market or restaurant. I believe that is more acceptible to some.

    You know you've watched too much Star Wars in your life when....

    You're going outside and the moon is shining. Someone says, "Look at the moon" and you say, "Taht's no moon...It's a space station." You're driving through a freeway that looks like the trench in STar Wars and sitting in your IPOd is Star Wars and you have the trench scene cued up.

    whats the game you most regret buying?

    Some Jurassic Park game. Bought it because it used the built in 3D processor on an old AMD chip.

    Whats YOUR favourite game of all time?

    All Time...Probably would be Silent Service followed closely by the Red Storm Rising game by Microprose. Then a close third would be F-15 Strike Eagle. All three are horribly dated now but I had loads of fun on each because they got the essence of what they were trying to portray without...

    Which is the worst fanboy war?

    Nethack is a fun game. Shame that there isn't a console game that quite captures the feel of being chased by the "c"....

    Chariot Racing

    That's kind of what I was looking for. I was thinking you control the chariot and the horse speed, but you can pull out a sword and attack the other drivers. Or you could use the whip to distract them. Then you could modify your chariot get the little knifes like the movie, etc.

    Chariot Racing

    I ended up getting the Prologue GTV and Midnight Club: LA. As I was playing both, somehow Ben Hur came to mind and I was thinking that it would be cool to have a Chariot Racing game. You could have different types of horses, upgrades for your chariots. Skills that help you during the game...

    Stupid Customers

    I used to work in a supermarket that was open 24 hours except on Sundays. It was just after closing and an employee and I were waiting for another employee that was one of the Customer Service Managers. It was amazing how many people would smack themselves on the door. Next time I am at a...

    Screen names and Avatars

    Back a few years ago, I was on IRC and I wanted an aviation related nick. Most of the good names were taken, so I went for obscure (the Mi part of MiG, in case you care). My avatar is an action figure I repainted.

    Call of Duty 4: A Retrospective

    I love COD4 but mostly because of the nuke at the middle of the game. I found myself frustrated by the linearity of the game. A few times, I got tired because of being forced to go a certain way, so I tried other ways and found those to be blocked. I would like to see Vietnam done justice...
