#53356 Your Ride?

Posted by Spectre2689 on 24 April 2005 - 03:02 PM in Off Topic

Hopefully two summers from now I'm going to have enough cash to buy a 1993-1995 (Gen 3) Mazda RX-7. It has a rotary that I'll probably swap out for a Toyota Supra engine (I forget the engine designation) that will definitely get reworked.

I'm...not too sure why you would do that. The reason RX-7s perform so well is because the car's light. The Supra engine is heavier than the RX-7's rotary, and would probably weigh the front down a lot more than it was designed to perform with. Why not just put an enormous turbo and intercooler on the existing engine?

[EDIT] And for the record, my ride is a pair of Firefly Zeal 2s. Nice comfortable shoes, like...

#40975 World Of Warcraft

Posted by Spectre2689 on 06 November 2004 - 12:25 AM in Off Topic

A couple of my friends have played World of Warcraft and they said that it is a really bad game. They are waiting for EQII to come out.

Well that explains that then.

WOW looks pretty decent, and to be honest, if it wasn't PTP, I might actually be interested.

But I have to disagree that all MMORPGs are PTP. Who's heard of Guild Wars? Apparently there won't be any online fee because once a person goes on a quest the game is hosted from the party leader's computer. The towns are just basic main channels and will probably be hosted with the funding from sales alone.

And that, kids, is how you make an MMORPG.

It's fun, and it's a great way to vent your anger. Well, unless your modding a gun of course. Then it's a health hazard (ex. spring in your eye, licking a glue gun (??), exacto knife through the finger, etc...) But yeah, great waste of time.

#17973 What Kinda Clips?

Posted by Spectre2689 on 02 February 2004 - 09:49 PM in Homemades

I'm leaning towards a WW2 style breach rifle. As you can probably tell, I like WW2 weapons because they're friggin SIMPLE. You shoot, you breach the barrel, allow for another round to go in, close the barrel again, and shoot. SIMPLE. Another example, Sten gun...a tube with a trigger assembly and a magazine. SIMPLE. Basically what I'm thinking is a sort of half barrel a couple inches long with a handle sticking out. To open the breach, you just slide the handle up, and the half barrel comes around to reveal another opening in the original barrel. The dart falls into the barrel. Now the tricky part, that should IN THEORY work. When closing the breach, since the darts are cylindrical, and shouldn't be more than half way into the gun, when the breach covers up the hole, it SHOULD just push the dart back up. It might be a little hard to understand what I'm getting at here, but I'll try and make something up soon.

#17980 What Kinda Clips?

Posted by Spectre2689 on 02 February 2004 - 10:32 PM in Homemades

That's because you're not doing it properly. DON'T use different sizes. Use the same size. Ex., two pieces of 1/2" copper. Cut the hole in one, and spread the sides a bit. For the breach part, it will NOT make a full cylinder. It should be just a little more than half a cylinder. You would just slide it over the barrel. A little hard to explain, which is why I'm going to make a model or something. CPVC or PVC will NOT work, because they're just too damn thick.

On another note, your views on ASCII are sadly retarded. ASCII is a format used for uploading images on to a webpage. Therefore, you can not have "ASCII art" under your name. For one, you can only have premade avatars, and for another, you can't not have a title. Therefore, if you took Liar away, you would be titleless, which just wouldn't work. Honest to God man, STOP FUCKING LYING!

Ironman, you're an asshole. Read this stuff, and tell me if they're still on topic. They are, are they not? Blue is sharing information with us, and THIRST is trying to help him, and get information from him. He's asking questions that other people might like to know. Do you have a problem with that? If you really don't like to read how a magazine-fed homemade is coming alone, just don't read this thread. Is it that hard?

#17728 What Kinda Clips?

Posted by Spectre2689 on 31 January 2004 - 04:51 PM in Homemades

Internet Protocal, if thats what ur talking about, changes daily.

Heres how it works:

You sign on, connect to your isp (internet service provider) server. each port on that server has an ip. when you connect you hook up with a port, 1 in about 2000. it is rare to hook up with the same ip, unless you sign on 2001 time in a day. Also, because new servers are being put in eveery day, ip's change all the time

No sir, you are very stupid. DYNAMIC IP addresses do that. Static IP addresses NEVER change, unless reset by your ISP for whatever reason. Most people have Static IP addresses. I THINK T1, T3, and some cable connections have dynamic IPs, but that's about it. If you DO have a dynamic IP from a home address, you're probably very lucky. Most people have static.

I could be wrong about this. Cx seems to know what he's talking about, and if you both have the SAME IP, connecting from the SAME ISP, registering on the SAME date that you left on your other account, then you're most likely the SAME person. Don't even bother denying it. You're just a coward. If you just confessed, maybe we wouldn't all hate you as much.

#24236 Well I'm Off To Make Another Map

Posted by Spectre2689 on 14 April 2004 - 02:29 PM in Off Topic

Back a couple replies...I'm a Zerg whore. I don't like anything but Zerg. I'll play them, but I don't like them. And the best, I repeat, BEST strategy for zerg is hordes upon hordes upon hordes of Zerglings backed up by a couple Defilers with Plague and Dark Swarm. Sometimes I'll just build up a few thousand minerals, kill off all my drones, and mass nothing but Zerglings...continuously...incessantly...violently. I'm a freak.

On another note, coincidentally, it was my pretties who diddled the land of Aiur and defiled the women! Go my pretties...all of my pretties...thrive and bleed like you've never thrived or bled before! Find Shakuras and diddle them all!

Anyways, I'd like to change my first unit (firebat) into a Broodling. Also, my third unit (scout) into a Mutalisk. Mmmm...Mutalisk.

And I'm done. Good luck with the maps. I have some design ideas if you want...

#24255 Well I'm Off To Make Another Map

Posted by Spectre2689 on 14 April 2004 - 06:30 PM in Off Topic

...and the firbats, can't forget the firebats, lots and lots of firebats. So any suggestions on the editor I should use?

If you have any ideas get me on AIM, hockeyman12599
Oh and my sc name is hockeyman(bobo)

Dude...ompa...can you picture 400 zerglings rushing even 24 seige tanks? They would all shoot, then cooldown for 2 seconds, in which time the zerglings would be ALL over them. The tanks would then proceed to blow themselves to hell with splash damage. In the meantime, I'm sitting at my base making more hordes of zerglings. The point of defilers overcomes that anyways. Dark swarm protects against all ranged attack...that means seige tanks = screwed. Bunkers = screwed. Marines in bunkers = screwed. Think about it. And...who the flying nipplebangs masses firebats?

Black-Wrath says: For the editor, pick up the SC X-tra editor series. 5 Modes for all your building needs, it's perfect. I'll try to find a site.... google is first man, you'll find it.

#24323 Well I'm Off To Make Another Map

Posted by Spectre2689 on 15 April 2004 - 02:39 PM in Off Topic

Monkey.

Anyways, Dark Swarm protects units against ALL ranged attacks. If you put two or three Dark Swarms over top of the choke point and the bunkers/tanks, the zerglings would not even be touched by any marines or tanks. Unless you had firebats in the bunkers, it would be a complete massacre.

Anyways, yeah. Fun times. When are we gonna get a game set up for that other map, leftnut? And how's the new one coming?

#42026 Virgin Mary In Grilled Cheese Sandwich!

Posted by Spectre2689 on 18 November 2004 - 08:09 PM in Off Topic

Wow. That's going on the list too.

I'll try to find some of the other auctions on the list, but I don't have them bookmarked, so no guarantees.

[EDIT] While I could not find the actual auctions themselves, I COULD find articles written on them.

Island: http://www.dailytime...13-1-2003_pg6_3
Air Guitar: http://www.undercove..._airguitar.html

Unfortunately I couldn't find any history of the ham sandwich. From what I remember about the story, a woman in England had just randomly decided to sell a partially eaten ham sandwich, which another person in England bought as a joke for over $1,000USD. He hung it on his cubicle wall to raise morale around the office.

However, I did find another thing to add to the list in this frenzy of ebay-tardedness. Behold, the rotten banana signed by Kate Garraway: http://cgi.ebay.co.u...6106450456&rd=1

That's going on my top 10 list of most ridiculous things ever sold on ebay. I'm still building it. Basically, I have an air guitar (complete with ownership certificate and a bonus partially used nudie mag), a half-eaten ham sandwich that went for well over $1000, and a private island.

#46237 Using Army Guys

Posted by Spectre2689 on 17 January 2005 - 11:09 AM in Off Topic

Army men are fun to burn. With fire. And stuff.

Sorry, I just had to say it.

As it's been mentioned before in this post, army men don't really give you an advantage, as you don't always know what your enemy will do. There are, of course, some situations in which you could plan the beginning stages of an attack, or the end of a scenario (somebody cornered, for example), but it's a lot more practical, and fun, to play it by instinct, or just make plans on the fly.

Or....how about this....

Same idea, but instead of using tons of barrels, just get one HUGE barrel (like 2" ID), and throw it on there. Shove all the darts you can down it, pump it up, and blam. If There's leaking air, you could put foam sheet around the inside of the barrel to use as a sort of shell. Yes? No?

You, sir, are retarded. First you flame BW for no reason, then delete your first post, then continue flaming him.

For one, Ironman DID ask an overasked question that he should've known for a long time. If he had paid any attention to the numerous other posts that addressed the question, he wouldn't be asking.

Another thing, don't bring flamewars over from other forums. Unless you're stupid and like to be hated, just do everyone a favour and shut your piehole.

And just for the record, the right tubing IS whatever fits your FBR.

That is all. Goodbye.

#45802 This Is How You Suck

Posted by Spectre2689 on 09 January 2005 - 11:05 PM in Off Topic

Alright, well I'm gonna have to disagree largely here. Yes, a lot of bands use power chords, but not for the entire song without so much as an arpeggio or two. I play guitar, albeit only for a couple years, but I still do, and I can tell you that most of the stuff in those songs are the same - progression, timing, strumming pattern, beat, time signature, tempo - it's the same. I've grown out of Linkin Park, but some of the stuff they did was pretty talented. Not once did I hear a song by them that sounded much like another. I tried listening to a Nickelback CD once, I kept thinking it was the same song, but then I realized that 3 or so songs had gone by that sounded so alike that I couldn't tell the difference unless I was really paying attention.

I'm not trying to bash anyone's musical tastes, I'm just pointing out that Nickelback (among some other bands) are highly unoriginal in the way they make music.

On the topic of music, more accurately buying music, I buy music from all over the place. Some is mainstream, some isn't. Some is marketed, some isn't. It's all about what kind of music you're into. I believe in downloading music, just not an entire album. The only reason I download is to see whether I like a band or not, and if I do, I'll go and buy their CD (whether it be off something like iTunes or a store such as HMV). If I don't too bad for them.

On a side-note, most of the points I just made are completely out of order, due to the fact that I seriously need sleep. Just dig them out.

#49369 This Guy...

Posted by Spectre2689 on 11 March 2005 - 11:56 PM in Off Topic

Well said, it should go for every soldier of every country who gave their life for any just reason.

I just want to get a few things off my chest though. Okto's right about the M1 Garand, which the American forces had in the Phillipines in 1945. It's a heavy son of a bitch, and it has a semi-auto 8-round clip. I don't doubt that he would take out 7 enemies with some well placed shots.

And for the beating to death, he doesn't necessarily need to kill them on contact. A lot of times, if someone was too close for a shot with a rifle (remember they're long, anything under 2 feet away would be extremely hard to shoot), you could just beat them down and shoot them there. The Garand was very easy to reload too. The clip would just pop out after it was spent and you'd put a new one in there.

Also, tait, Japanese soldiers, when they got close enough, would often choose to charge the enemies with bayonets or sabres, even if they had a clear shot with their rifle. It was just part of the mentality. It ofter gave their enemy a nice chance to pick a few off.

Add the fact that it was dark, and American soldiers had dark camoflauged uniforms, compared to the Japanese tan uniforms, plus defending troops always have the advantage, and there you go.

I'm not saying some of the numbers weren't exaggerated, they very well may have been, but the story is still entirely believable.
