(tkurc_) remember, x=8
(tkurc_) man, I love Family Ties humor
 
W-playing trivia in a place like detroit is one thing, but playing bar trivia in Mountain View, where 75% of the population has a masters degree or better, is a whole 'nother story
 
(tkurc_) I thought the trivia things competed against everyone in the US
 
W-the fancy ones
 
(tkurc_) man, I am excellent at late 90's draft trivia

W-I contributed a key answer in which was further west Guyana or French Guinea
W-the prize was $50
 
tkurc|homewest is relative. both are correct
 
W-being a dickhead like that don't win you $50
 
tkurc|homewest of what?
 
W-your answer is correct if you can head west from the other country and arrive in the answer country
W-without going 24000 miles first
W-or, if you were to ask the residents of the wrong answer which direction the correct answer was, they would reply "west"
 
tkurc|homeshitty questions like this would never cut it on jeopardy

I'd like to see a gungans versus ewoks battle royale

posted by (tkurc|home) on 2003-04-15 22:26:25 [#338]
tkurc|homeI feel that the ewoks would mop the floor with them
 
W-My friend used to call the Gungans "The Jarjars"
 
tkurc|homeyou have friends?
 
FoibaeEwoks mopped the floor with the emperor's "best troops." All Gungans can do is die, and they know it.
Foibae"Weesa doin' our part!"
 
tkurc|homeyeah, and the gungans' glowing balls seem to only take out technology
tkurc|homewhich sticks, gliders, rocks and logs are decidedly not
 
FoibaeEwoks would all be ordering whatever cocktails go best with seafood.
 
tkurc|homegungans == seafood?
 
FoibaeEwoks can't tell the difference between saltwater and freshwater.
 
tkurc|homeI thought that gungans were more reptilian
 
Foibaedude, they're Ewoks.
FoibaeAll they know is that Gungans live underwater.
 
tkurc|homeyeah, considering that the ewoks were going to eat R2d2, they'll probably mash on them gungans

tkurc|homeFinal Fantasy Origins
tkurc|homeFF1 and FF2 plus improvements
 
FoibaI think 2 had the weird leveling thing where whichever stat you worked out the most was the one that leveled faster. So if you got the shit beat out of you constantly (and managed to survive), your hit points would go up really fast.
FoibaSo eventually you just started beating the shit out of your own characters once you had, like, one enemy left.
 
tkurc|homethe japanese or american 2?
 
FoibaIf I'd meant IV, I would've said IV.
 
tkurc|homeso the one on origins is the japanese II
tkurc|homeI played the japanese one, but the translation was horrible

why aren't we inundated with DC comic book movies too?

posted by (tkurc|home) on 2003-04-11 03:18:16 [#329]
tkurc|homeSeems that marvel is cleaning up on these licensing deals
 
FoibaeBecause there's only so much ass that Batman can kick before he just has to kill Superman again.
 
tkurc|homewhat about the Green Lantern?
 
FoibaePardon me while I laugh, then cough, then laugh some more.
 
tkurc|homeyou're saying todays children cannot relate to the DC universe?
 
FoibaeYes, a modern Green Lantern movie with the young Kyle would be pretty sweet.
FoibaeBut he's no Peter Parker's Spider-Man
 
tkurc|homethe 80's cartoons seemed to be all about DC
tkurc|homeeven though I was a Marvel boy
 
FoibaeI've always been a Marvel boy.
 
tkurc|homeI bet you really think the Fantastic Four is the best of the Marvel Universe
 
FoibaeWolvie could take all of them.
 
tkurc|homeeven THE HUMAN FLAME?
tkurc|homeer, TORCH
 
FoibaeWhen I say "Marvel Boy," I mean "HUGE X-MEN FAN."
 
tkurc|homeblue, or red?
 
FoibaeHuman Torch is, what, like 30-40 now? And he got his powers when he was 20? Wolverine's something like 80 to 100 years old, and he's had his powers from day 1.
FoibaeBlue or Gold?
 
tkurc|homesure. whatever the fricking colors they were
 
FoibaeI always liked Blue because of Gambit.
 
tkurc|homeyou think anyone really likes cyclops?
tkurc|homeI don't either. He's such a bitch-boy
 
FoibaeCyclops is a little bitch. The only cool story with him was an X-Men Unlimited story, where he crashlanded in the arctic with Storm and he broke his ruby quartz glasses. He had to improvise a goggle with his suspender things and a shard of ruby quartz, so he walked around with one eye and a broken rib the whole issue.
FoibaeAh, the dorkiest night in Pants history.

tkurc|homeI gots to say, the latest matrix trailer looks pretty badass
tkurc|homebut I did like that Two Towers movie
 
Foibaeah, the summer of sequels.
 
tkurc|homeWell, I think all of these will be better than Jurassic Park 2
tkurc|homeWhat pleases me about Xmen2 is more ICEMAN
 
FoibaeI already know what happens in RotK. X-Men 2 looks cool because of Nightcrawler, mainly. T3 is more of the same. And I think the upcoming Matrix game looks more interesting than the upcoming movies.
 
tkurc|homeI want to see iceman sliding around on his big tracks of ice. I doubt that will be his mode of transport in the movie, though
tkurc|homeso, whats the appeal of nightcrawler? just that he is weird looking?
 
Foibaedude, did you see that shot in the trailer of Nightcrawler teleporting from room to room down the floor of the office building (camera panning past room walls) while Nightcrawler simply teleports, punches, teleports to next room, punches again?
FoibaeNightcrawler's a swash-buckler. He has a sense of style. He can teleport, cling to walls, and blend in the darkness.
 
tkurc|homeaye. I saw it. Never thought he was all that cool. I'm looking forward to some Xmen movies with Cable.
 
FoibaeAll of which are extremely entertaining mutant powers.
 
tkurc|homeand what is a swashbuckler, anyways? I thought it was a sailor
 
FoibaeWhat was Cable's mutant power? Very basic psionic capablities? Plus whatever cybernetic/future shit he had?
 
tkurc|homeI'd me more excited about T3 if it had more Edward Furlong in it
tkurc|homeCable is mysterious, much like Wolverine. But yeah, he's a psychokinetic cyborg.
 
FoibaeCable's not mysterious at all. WELCOME BACK TO 1995. Cable is the son of Cyclops and Jean Grey from a post-apocolyptic future.
 
tkurc|homedammit, I should have deployed some pots.
 
FoibaeI'm a huge X-Men geek, don't ever fight me on the basic principle of "Cable" versus "Nightcrawler."
 
tkurc|homelike there is a wrong answer to "Which of the X-Men do you like the best?"
 
FoibaeWell, Cable was never an "X-Man." He lead the renegade group of X-Force for a while.

whats your favorite non-goal related thing to do in a video game?

posted by (tkurc|home) on 2003-04-09 23:07:46 [#324]
W-sort/organize/collect things
W-standard obsessive perfectionist stuff
W-having very clean, organized, complete inventories is important to me
 
Foibaecut down bushes, throw pots at old people
Foibaebeat up old people.
 
W-i enjoy seeing how I can complete a goal without doing all of the required steps
 
tkurc|homeI have a feeling warren would like animal crossing
 
W-In Link to the Past I'd do all teh dungeons out of order
W-Perhaps the core concepts of Animal Crossing would appeal to me, however the presentation does not.
 
FoibaeIn Animal Crossing, I hit people with the bug net.
 
tkurc|homeI tried to dig up all the sand in SMB2
 
Foibaeuntil they cried.
 
W-Until the sand cried? How does sand cry? Is that some sort of Zen thing?
 
FoibaeI was continuing my thought, professor.
 
tkurc|homeI also liked to propel the tank with the cannon in GTA3
 
W-I was obsessive about trying to jump everything in GTA3
 
FoibaeHehe, I've never played GTA3.
 
tkurc|homethere is a lot of non-goal oriented stuff to do in that game
 
W-Psh. Give Morrowind a try then
 
tkurc|homeI also enjoyed forcing the sims to use mass transit in Simcity
 
W-I was all about patterns and symmetry in Simcity(s)
 
tkurc|homeobsessive compulsive warren
 
W-THE HANDS ARE NOT CLEAN!!
 
FoibaeI liked bulldozing the single square on buildings that would destroy the entire unit. This may only apply to the original SimCity.
 
W-selfdestructive foiba
 
FoibaeHubris is my middle name.
Foibaealso, "Robert"
 
W-So Foiba Hubris "Robert" Foiba?
W-Is that anything like Jesus H. "Penelope" Christ?
 
tkurc|homeHubris would be an interesting name for a kid
 
FoibaeFoible Hubris "Robert" Ba
 
W-Bah
 
FoibaeIt's the French spelling
 
tkurc|homeyou mean, the "Freedom spelling"?
 
W-the french spell?
 
tkurc|homeyou mean, the "Freedom" spell?
tkurc|homethat makes no sense

W-OH GOD, CRAM IT IN ME!
 
tkurc|homeI was trying to understand it. Not get beligerent commentary on it.
 
Foibaeit's either funny to you or its not. "understanding" it won't help.
 
tkurc|homeand trust me. I know beligerence. I AM beligerence
 
W-Well I've moved far beyond that stage, I attempted to understand, realized it was devoid of anything worth or capable of being understood, and have moved onto my proclamations.
W-I understand the subtle wit of a JeffK or a Pokey, but Homestar Runner can't be classified with those endeavors.

FoibaI might pick this up either today or tomorrow.
FoibaWhat's gonna be great is that it'll be right outside my second-story window, so I can open my curtains and see fools jump right into my field of view, then fall out again.
 
tkurc|homeand as an added bonus, you don't have to worry about falling out of the window as much
tkurc|homealthough.. I'd wager more drunks get hurt on tramampolines than by windows

hey Foiba, how is zelda?

posted by (tkurc) on 2003-04-09 01:24:13 [#321]
FoibaI've got 3 Triforce shards, need 5 more. I've kinda slowed down because I'm going through the game really fast.
FoibaThe reason for that is probably because whenever I start playing it, I play for 12 hours.
 
tkurcI like to fight the sword master
tkurcI got to 300.
 
FoibaYeah, he's like my kryptonite. I've spent hours fighting that fucker.
FoibaI got to 833.
 
tkurcactually, its all that william lets me do
tkurcwe rigged up a rubberband to hold down L
 
FoibaI've spent the majority of the game on my home island: breaking pots, cutting down trees, beating up old men.
 
tkurcI like beating up the big fat pig
tkurcwilliam was like... No fighting the swordmaster really IS fun
 
FoibaThe big pig is alright, but it's really fun beating up the little pigs. Those little fuckers start chasing you and knocking the crap out of you. I had to jump in the water into my boat and start shelling them from the harbor with my cannon.
 
tkurcbut its such a big fat greedy pig. It looks like it deserves a beating.
tkurcI bet it ate all the other pigs' food. and the poor homeless children.
 
FoibaThe game knows how much I love breaking pots. Every boss puts all these pots in front of his door, like maybe it'll give him a few more seconds to come up with some awesome strategy to beat me.
FoibaBecause he knows I won't come in til I break every one of those pots.
Foiba... knows I can't come in until I break every single one of those pots.
 
tkurcI think its there to give you a better chance of beating the boss.
 
FoibaI'm sure Ganon's anteroom will have like 300 pots, and by the time I've broke most of them, they start growing back. He's clever enough to know that I'd be stuck in his insidious trap forever.
FoibaZelda's looking on thinking, "Damn, I knew Ganon was a son of a bitch, but I didn't think he'd stoop this low."

The pistons are apparently the anti-wizards

tkurc|homelike most of the mistakes the wizards made, the pistons capitalized on
tkurc|homeben wallace, for example
tkurc|homeand they really think the Pistons got the best of that Hamilton/Stackhouse trade

you ever wonder how much damage a garbage disposal would do to your hand?

tkurc|homeI've jammed mine with an apple core
tkurc|homeyet people are very frightened by them
 
W-used to think similarly about fans, then i just stuck my hand in one and stopped it
W-it impresses people when you do it
 
tkurc|homeI got a nasty cut from a processor heatsink fan...
 
W-i mean the big ones
W-the one's you'd use to cool a room
 
tkurc|homeI knew what you meant.
tkurc|homegoogle is turning up very little in terms of statistics or cases
tkurc|homeI'd say we need to get some sucker to stick his hand in and see, but I bet that would make me liable or something
 
W-next time i have a spare cadaver....
 
FoibaWhen I was still in high school, the fan I used to put me to sleep made a lot of noise with the case on, so I eventually just took it off, leaving the fan blade bare. Once, while groping to hit the snooze button, the blade whacked my finger so hard, it bled.
FoibaI still have a scar.

what will nintendo name their next system?

posted by (tkurc|home) on 2003-04-06 00:21:55 [#314]
W-Lean Mean Waffle Goober 9000
 
tkurc|homethey hung onto that NES Name for quite a long time
tkurc|homeNES, Super NES, NES 64
 
W-the Nintendo 64 was never called "NES 64"
 
tkurc|homeI know.
 
W-The emulator was, however.
 
tkurc|homebut it at least seemed to follow a pattern off of Nintendo
tkurc|homecalling it the gamecube was really out of left field
 
W-Yeah, "Gamecube" was abrupt
W-hence my suggestion for ultra-abrupt change for the next one
 
tkurc|homesorny has had success at the sequential number scheme. will nintendo follow suit?
 
W-How about the "DonkeyMario Zeldatroid FX"
 
tkurc|homeI wouldn't put it past them.
 
FoibaI still want Sega to unveil a new system called "Fuck you, It's a Dreamcast 2."
 
tkurc|homeyeah. its called the Xbox
tkurc|homeexcept they aren't losing money on it, MS is
 
FoibaNo, I want an honest-to-god Sega console, not just for them to develop for other companies.
FoibaDon't ever even mention the Dreamcast in the same breath as X-Box ever again.
 
tkurc|homethe xbox is basically a sega console. Its so much like the saturn its ridiculous
tkurc|homethe xbox is the saturn2
 
W-So will MS call the sequel the xbox2? or the more algebraically correct ybox, or yboy?
 
tkurc|homeI've heard xbox2
tkurc|homethat is, if they don't just buy sony

Temple of Doom is by far the weakest of the Indiana Jones movies

posted by (W-) on 2003-04-06 00:10:03 [#313]
tkurc|homeits my favorite of the 3
tkurc|homeall the things I remember about Indiana Jones as a child come from that movie
 
W-i always preferred the ones with the deep christian mythology in it, the ark, the grail, etc.
 
tkurc|homethe heart ripping out... the monkey brain eating... the goofy kid
 
W-no germans in temple of doom, either. i like a good german
 
tkurc|homeyou play red alert II?
 
W-i think i did a few times
 
tkurc|homefor some reason, when parsing your german comment, I thought of the iraqi special unit in RA2
tkurc|homethe chemical man
tkurc|homeyou know, nazis being evil. thinking that in the future, we may see movies with the saddam regime being evil. and saddam's regime being famously evil for all their chemical shenanigans.
tkurc|homequite an exercise in divergent thinking. gotta get out of that box
 
W-nazis were the fist to put their penises in sprockets
W-they were the first of god's children to not be losers, apparently
 
tkurc|homearen't all the pre-sproket societies at a disadvantage?
 
W-psh, only those who can't travel through time
W-the ancient mayans had sprockets from 2017
W-don't get me started on the ancient jamaicans
 
tkurc|homewarren. you can't travel farther back in time than the late 1800's
 
W-if you go back in time and build a time machine in the distant past, you can travel to the distant past
 
tkurc|homeyou can only timetravel back to when the first time machine was built
tkurc|homewhich was in the late 1800's
 
W-its just a matter of building a time machine and using it at the exact same time
W-but doing it at the exact same time is no matter since you have a time machine
 
tkurc|homein conclusion.. temple of doom is great

I think I cracked a rib

posted by (tkurc|home) on 2003-04-06 00:02:17 [#312]
tkurc|homeI got elbowed by a guy that looked like a caveman
tkurc|homeand along with the pain have swelling that makes it seem like I am carrying a boiled egg in my armpit
 
W-if he looked like a rocket scientist, would the rib have been rendered invulnerable?
 
tkurc|homeif he looked like a rocket scientist, he probably would lack the physical strength to break my rib
 
W-you really should have married a nurse
W-save you some bills
 
tkurc|homelike I need to go to the doctor for a broken rib...
 
W-no, you just need a nurse to give you a sponge bath and some "physical therapy"
 
tkurc|homeI dress your mom up to do that now.
 
W-doesn't your mom read this?
 
tkurc|homeyour point?
 
W-I feel like we're engaging in some sort of Mom Warfare
 
tkurc|homewouldn't mom warfare be our moms fighting each other?
 
W-well Nuclear Warfare isn't nukes fighting each other, its people fighting each other using nukes
W-mmmm Intercontinental Ballistic Mother
 
tkurc|homeyou really opened yourself up for a "your mom's the MOAB" joke there.

NES PC Tutorial

posted by (Foiba) on 2003-04-03 17:53:21 [#309]
FoibaGutting your NES to add a PC with NES emulator. Pretty neat idea, especially if you could get the mod for the controller to work.
 
tkurc|homedo you still have to blow into it to get it to work?
tkurc|homei blow into my xbox.. just to be on the safe side
 
FoibaeI make my X-Box carry my NES and my Dreamcast around on its back.
 
tkurc|homemine xbox didn't have a back included
 
FoibaeMaybe you're just distracted by the gigantic, hideously green 'X' on its back
Foibaeit's like the Emperor's New Clothes
 
tkurc|homeisn't that the top?
 
FoibaeOh.
Foibaeyou don't personify your consoles.
 
tkurc|homeI say "my gamecube kicks ass" all the time.
 
FoibaeThe worst is getting into arguments with your consoles, and losing.
 
tkurc|homewith the prevalence of rumble controllers, this happens more and more

tkurc|homeso its not cheap to print a color page on a colorjet printer
tkurc|homethere are these "print this coupon and bring to store to save 33 cents"
tkurc|homeI wonder how many people lose money by printing and redeeming coupons
 
W-and your thought is that its a conspiracy by the ink-cartridge manufacturers to subsidize the companies that offer these coupons, eh?
 
tkurc|homeyes.
tkurc|homewell, not really.
tkurc|homeI think many people don't understand that printing is expensive.
 
W-I dunno, people are pretty stupid. Printing things in color when they shouldn't is the least of most people's money-wasting worries.
W-Ever heard of the lottery?
W-Yeah...
W-Or extended warranties?
W-Or no cash down for 12 months?
W-or Terry Glenn?

W-yeah whats up with that
 
tkurc|homeI blame Foiba
 
W-I blame me watching less TV
W-Low babe-factor so far in Silicon valley
W-Compared to L.A. or a college town :)
W-Then again, I can't really say I have a sample set larger than 20
 
tkurc|homelots more hippies and uh.. alternative lifestyle chicks, no?
 
W-closer to San Fran, probably, but not here in Sunnyvale or Mountain View... out of my sample set to date
W-Anyway, its that time of year in less-temperate areas when spring fashions appear and all sorts of wonderful curves become publicly available

some thoughts on the NBA draft

posted by (tkurc|home) on 2003-04-02 21:30:31 [#303]
tkurc|homeI hope the Pistons end up with the 3rd overall pick
tkurc|homeI feel that Carmelo Anthony would be a great fit
tkurc|homeand there is some part of me saying he'll end up being better than LeBron
tkurc|homebut thats probably the idiot part
 
W-LeBron is an important high draft pick because of his popularity, not his skills necessarily. These teams who suck and have these #1picks want ticket revenues, so they can improve the team (many players) in the future, and LeBron is the path to that, even if the other guys are better pure-basketball picks.
 
tkurc|homea note: Pistons have the highest attendance in the Eastern Conference.
 
W-I concur with your analysis of the Pistons wholeheartedly.
 
tkurc|homeexcellent. If I had the first overall pick, I'd take LeBron
tkurc|homewhich is why I wished for the 3rd pick :)

W-I hate The Cure
 
tkurc|homeI mean, I haven't heard a radiohead song I don't hate.
 
W-Yeah, I haven't heard 2 seconds of a Cure song I didn't hate
 
tkurc|homeat least some of the Celine Dion songs I don't want to smash my head in.
