Yeah, the Koontz lists (1.27, fuckers! Oh, wait...oops) were awesome. It's too bad he turned out to be a legitimately disturbed nutjob rather than just an oddball. And don't forget Cleve squatting and waddling under blue lights to maintain his superpowers. Good times!
Oh my God... I'd almost forgotten about Daniel Morris. God, that guy was a douchebag. So full of himself and his supposed expertise on... stuff. "Have you ever read the 150 page government report on X? I have." And yet he still managed to misunderstand every issue.
Met_K worse than super racist Cleve! Brad Wardell better than...anybody! These lists are very accurate.
I only ever ran afoul of DrCrypt once during a discussion prior to the iPad's release wherein he was downright fanboyish about the tablet's future. He insisted that within six months the Kindle would be considered obsolete. I told him he was crazy. Perhaps somewhat colorfully so. He accused me of being a pale Bill Dungsroman ripoff and then refused to talk to me anymore. I actually set up a Google Calendar alarm to let me know when six months had passed to see how the Kindle's sales were doing, but ultimately decided against bumping the thread. (I do this more often than is healthy, but with a single exception I've never followed up on the alarm itself. And that one exception was just cos I got to shit on someone I really dislike.) For the most part DrCrypt was an okay guy, except for when he got a girlfriend and then insisted on referring to her as his inamorata whenever posting. In the end it really made ElGuapo's enthusing about this cool new thing he discovered called 'marijuana' downright preferable. Edit: Now that I look it appears he didn't do it nearly as much as I remember. But he did it enough! Just cos it sounds cool doesn't mean it's any better than 'hubby', goddammit! And man, do I hate 'hubby'.
Kindle sales actually increased in the six months following the iPad's release. (This almost certainly had nothing to do with the iPad. They'd increased over the six months before the iPad's release, too.) (Also, that's not what he argued, so I don't know what your point is.) (And seriously, do we need to have this discussion here?)
Then I will change my username to Phil Dungsroman. Edit: Wait, that sounds kinda gay. Edit edit: Where gay means 'awesome'? I will eat your soul.
In my defense, I was playing Firestorm. Actively disregarding wiser advice and courses of action are his forte. I don't recall what my power was, I think it was that I could get a weapon from the armory or something. I remember telling different people different powers so that I could try to track who was talking to whom, but that just made me look suspicious when two of them shared notes. Add to that me basically securing the win for Team Evil and bad decisions all around for ol' Flamehair. (But I totally won the Pride and Prejudice game here!)
Team Doppleganger was ridiculously overpowered (I had a 50% chance of avoiding any kill attempts!) but when the GM allowed the computer hack/changeling count thing to work the way we wanted, we pretty much knew we won.
It was pretty funny in retrospect. That whole hack thing made all my assumptions feel null and void, and that I was a thumb-sucking idiot, and I told everyone they could just shoot me into space because I was worthless. All in all a fun experience! Except for idrisz as Dr. Midnight. Man, fuck that guy.
I put up a big fit about the GM taking away my control of my public power (making a query against the computer) and letting the group vote for it without any chance of my inference so that people wouldn't suspect that I actually had two powers. Though there's no reason anyone would have suspected that in the first place.
This is pure truth. While I had originally believed I learned how to drink in college, I actually learned how to drink at TechTV.
Another way to think of it is that Angie chose to sacrifice everyone. Herself, you, even Flash. Every single other entity. And then chose to arrange to have Flash brought back so that Team Doppelganger could win. That's Xanatos Gambit level super villain evil.
This thread became almost as boring as listening to someone rehash their fantasy football victory from the past weekend.
Technically, the QT3 irc channel is a Broken Forum IRC channel, now. But, yes, there is also a second IRC channel, one specifically for Broken Forum.
It was in a sticky at some point but: Irc.enterthegame.com #qt3 And/or Irc.thanksgabe.com #bf Take your pick!
I always forget to sign in. I used to visit it regularly, now I just can't remember what IRC client I have installed. I'm sure it's just as funny as before.
Most of the IM services that support chat are either gone, shutting down, or scheduled to shut down, and IRC just so happens to be really good at chat (go figure).
It took me a few minutes to remember, but that's the IRC I remember. I'm having such pangs of nostalgia.
If I ever get my home computer up and running again so I can proxy bounce off it I'll log onto IRC again. Having a baby has killed all my free time to do things like "fix my gaming PC"
Pretty sure sure you don't know anything about me at all, I rarely post here or on QT3. I thought your attack on Tom was over the line and said as much. You've clearly created some nice fiction about me in your mind if you consider me moralistic or pompous. I'll give you dim witted, though.
We were afraid he shared some power with Beetlejuice and didn't want to take any chances. Can someone check to see if I'm still banned there?
I don't mean to rain on your parade, but I figured you should know that calling people moralistic, pompous, dim-witted asses is part of Mark M's mating ritual.
