You shouldn't get so angry over stuff. 

you build a huge ass map that takes forever to get from one end to the other and now you think you're God and you can tell me what to do -- though, I guess if you managed to encapsulate infinity inside of a map just like I just said you did, you really would be God, so on that pretext, I'll let that advisory comment pass. 

I forgot to pay my BT phone bill and my broadband service has been rudely disconnected. Every website redirects to a nasty message from BT...apart from this one.

Cheers metl, you just pwned BT.

In the meantime, can someone post transcripts of YouTube Blackadder episodes, describe amusing cat image macros, draw (ascii) porn, etc. etc.?

Being without internet is a new and scary concept for me and I'm not sure I like it :{ 

goatse.cx:

A naked man is bending forward, viewed from behind. Both his hands are in his anus, stretching the rectum wide open. His genitals are visible.


2girls1cup:

Two girls are making out.
Close up of one girl's ass, with other girl holding a cup under it.
Girl poops. A lot. Into the glass.
Both girls proceed to eat and lick the poop.
Girls smear poop all over themselves and vomit onto eachother and into eachother's mouths.
Fade to black. 

ALPHA AND BETA!

But ascii porn creation escapes me. 

Maybe it is time to consider a more extended break from internet activity. 

why several of the hosted PQ sites flicker on and off from day to day, e.g. TeamShambler or SPQ Level Heaven?

Sometimes it helps flushing the DNS cache, sometimes not.

eeewww 

America... what happened to you? 

joined a gym, took a few power yoga classes to realign my spine, canceled my NYT subscription, invested the savings in a yak farm outside of Aspen, raked in a bit of change, took a cruise around the Great Lakes where I met the daughter of Presbyterian minister who introduced me to crack . . .

Cheers,
America 

headthamps story gave ears to my eyes, and tears to the ever walking shadows of the moon, without them we would be just another mindless headthump walking through the heroin fueled lies of the world through out the living eyes of the universe 

 

That is all. 

poor Kinn, I just went through a similar experience for the last three weeks, where after an hour or so of running it, my system would crap out in a blue screen of death. It put a cramp in my 'productivity'(er, TF). I had to replace the fan and my video card. Put that time to good use. Build a Bastion II. 

Put that time to good use. Build a Bastion II.

A screed of Unsolicited Advice??, or a spirit building pick me upper!? 

Try using a different DNS server. Maybe they are stupid and just route new DNS requests to their page. Try 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 (that's opendns.com) 

if there is a program that can create SiN pak files?

No, it can't load Quake2 pak files, I checked (they also look different in a hex editor...)

Apparently it is IMPOSSIBLE to create a SiN pak file (unless you work at Ritual.)


(I'm not yet ready to accept that.) 

I found out.

It's very late so I'm slow thinking. Anyway, for the record... how to create a (real) SiN pakfile:

The program is called makepak.exe (duh) and is part of the sintools (sined etc.)

Stupidly, the documentation looks as if you can only extract them with that app; luckily, being a Linux user, I could (very slowly because very tired) make some sort of connection between "pak file" and "script file" and so I finally can use that thing.

You have to create a script that includes the pak's name and all the stuff you want in it. Gosh.

The documentation looks like this:

Makepak 1.0 copyright (c) 1998 Ritual Entertainment
USAGE:
makepak -u -d <script file> [specific file]
u - unpack into the current directory, script file is the pak name
d - dump out the pak files contents, script file is the pak name

If a specific file is specified then only those files matching that will be dumped

Valid Script Commands:
name <name of pak>
include <wild card name>
exclude <wild card name>
includerecursive <wild card name>
excluderecursive <wild card name>


"Script file is the pak name." Yay for Ritual.

*bangs head against wall* 

I'm going to smash my fax machine in a minute!!!

Why do we even still have fax machines?!?!

And why do I have the shittiest fax machine ever created. 

You're the odd one out here. 

Tarquin and Gerald (two Oblivion players) are walking down the road, when Tarquin turns to gerald and says:

"Gerald?"

- "Yes?"

"Gerald - if I can guess how many pigs you have in that sack on your back, can I have one of them?"

To which Gerald replies:

"Tarquin - If you can guess how many pigs I've got in this sack on my back, you can have the both of them!!"

So Tarquin says

"Three!!" 

 

smashed into oblivion 

Oblivion owns and you know it.

I have internet back btw, I was only offline for a day.

Headthump, re: Bastion II - there will come a day when I will be free to pursue these sorts of things, able to realise these crawling visions of madness that were hinted at in my previous offerings - but today is not that day; Alas today, cynical of the industry, I am bound merely to create within the confines of commercial games development, although within that confine I am slowly mustering power and may one day erupt from my shackles and explode forth in a triumphant display of crimson-flecked glory. 

the SinEd source code. It was released by Ritual, but all links on the net are broken.

The file name should be sin_tools_source.zip.

Anybody have it? (probably hopeless...)
