Captain Colon

I have no idea what you're talking about but if you strain hard enough it's possible to have an aneurysm.

is the difference that the USA censors the faces of non-fat people? :confused1:

Lol...chopper on extinction had a seizure and killed everyone in it, so I coached the dead pilot into pushing the train backwards with the chopper and got another demo I think I know the trick to do it every time now :thumbup:

:confused1:

Yes, that would sum up my thoughts on most 60s/70s-era "greats" :thumbup:

yeah i've got a quad core and it still bogs at 8x time compression with like 2000 units

I've got a lot of nice close-up screens but fucking ACDSee decided to stop working for no reason so I have no way to batch convert them, since the developers decided to not make the game just save a fucking jpeg instead of a bmp.

You can look back at the era and find a ton of bands that sounded exactly like them...they just happened to be the ones that made it. They get way too much acclaim for what was essentially a pretty-boy pop band.

This is completely unrelated except for being in that video but this line stands out to me as particularly amazing. Is it just me?

Does it annoy you when you're talking to someone and they seem to have no concept of music before it existed 5-10 years ago? I like pretty much everything so I'm not even talking about the nu-metal/BRUTALDEATHOMGZKORE trend that seems to be in now...Stuff like someone who goes "yeah I'm totally metal" and has no idea who Anthrax or Venom are, or claims to be totally oldsk00l but draws blanks when you mention Sugarhill Gang and Run DMC. Even bands like Led Zeppelin and The Who (neither of whom I even like that much) are in jeopardy it seems. Just as an example, I managed to find this gem on youtube on Madonna's latest video (I have real life friends that are real life girls, sue me): I mean Madonna's what, like 50 now and I'd still do her? But I'm pretty sure "greatest song of all time" is pushing it for anything she's made in the past 15 years. It makes me feel really old that almost all the groups I listen to are either 20 years old or paying homage to those groups. Also the beatles are a MEDIOCRE band at best. Fuck you Beatles fans!

You know a thread is bad when MATT is making the least gay post in it. Falcon gets mega points for My Last Words though, even though Dave Mustaine is still the emo crybaby of thrash, probably even more so today than ever before. This describes my feelings just about all the time: http://www.offtopicbutts.com/Iron Savior - H.M. Powered Man.mp3 Sometimes I feel like instrumental stuff though. Man up, sissies!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY PERFECT RECORD IS RUINED http://www.offtopicbutts.com/ohshi.jpg I wasn't playing with locked teams or anything though and the diplomacy AI is really fucking ridiculous...the map started with 4v4 but one of my allies kept canceling our treaties even though we had 90% relations. He just happened to be the guy in the corner of the map that was in the only position to poke at the enemy too, all my other allies were stuck in the corner with me. Pings appear to be totally useless to AI teammates and they just go wherever. My favorite is when they say "I'M HERE TO HELP" and you go "yay" and then notice they sent you a single frigate that immediately jumps out. I love these tiny maps though...25 planets on one star with 8 players is the way to go.

CoH is alright, but the multiplayer is kinda boring IMO. If I still had Dawn of War I'd love to play that, me and a few friends used to have epic comp stomp games with the AI mods that made them brutally efficient, they'd last 3+ hours at a time. Still have to get SupComm, but I'm running out of money and there's no work to be found here so I have to wait for summer when I go back to NY. I don't think a single-star map would take that long, 3-4 hours maybe with 4 players. Would depend on how good everyone is I guess (and if you can use time compression in multiplayer), but if worse comes to worst we can always save it and pick up again later. If you like building up massive economies then you should try Vasari. They get the most bonuses to crystal/metal production and their scouts are the units that capture neutral refineries, so you can get out there and grab them very quickly and then just sell your resources on the black market for credits. Their units are also the most powerful statswise, although they tend to be more expensive. I think they also have the most bonuses to hull regen and their carriers have a badass ability that repairs a substantial amount of hull to all friendly ships in a small radius. I still have to play them more but I think they're gonna be my new favorite race. If you end up sticking with TEC, all you have to do is build masses of LRM frigates and you win. Also, the damage values listed in the game tooltips are NOT the values used for damage calculations, so you might wanna look around for a player-made chart that lists actual values. If you go on the forums I think there's a sticky in the strategy sectiom that has a bunch of them...look for one that's hosted on Google Spreadsheets, it's the most accurate one. *E* If any of you use xfire add me on there, it supports sins now...name is just captaincolon

Awww, I had a great picture of myself I wanted to post

+1

Anyone with sins wanna try and get a game going sometime?

I don't think he's annoying :confused1:

awwwwwwwwwww :crying: ....could use some salt :drool:

IIRC his stand up is actually pretty funny, but I might be thinking of someone else.

Then wtf was he charged with? Unless they were made after 1986 or he didn't pay the tax, he didn't commit any crimes under federal law. State law maybe, but the feds wouldn't be involved in that. Unless by "dealer" you mean black market dealer...I meant a Class 3 FFL dealer.

Or just buy them himself from a dealer...

St. Anger is the only album I really just cannot listen to. It's SO bad, it doesn't even sound like them. Wow, it really does sound like that o_O

If they were legal assault rifles then the only crime he committed if he bought them under the table was not paying the ATF tax stamp for them...if they were illegal then I think most of the hammer falls on the seller.

I'm pretty sure you lose all sense of passing time when you start watching it.

I cannot get the video to record right for some reason...it always plays the video too fast for like the first 30 seconds or something, I don't get it. Watch demo for proof of hax
