I've been insulted by the best... or at least they tried. I have too much of a thick skin and a sense of humor to match so pretty much everything rolls off of my back like water off of a duck.

Now then, back to your mom... Yet again, as usual. 

Your hidden zombie is called Frank, right?

I was thinking to hide him in my current map.

And, of course, your mother said it was a great idea. She gave me a lovely cup of tea and a biscuit.

And when he says "Cup of tea" he means that she "Cupped" something else and "Biscuit" is code for... well, you know.

Sorry Spirit, you do know that I'm kidding right? But lets face it, if all moms in general didn't like to get banged, a lot, (sorry I couldn't resist) you probably wouldn't be here and neither would I for that matter.

I'll stop with the your mom is a slutty whore jokes though. I don't want to overplay it.

does anyone here use mechanical keyboards? internets tell me there's just das keyboard, a couple of razers, a couple of steel series and someone is still selling the original ibm keyboards (but with usb i guess).

any other full size (num pad, all function keys, normal placement of arrows + pageup/down ins/del etc...) mechanical keyboards?

my favourite keyboard of all time would probably be the apple extended keyboard oddly enough. 

Best keyboard I have ever bought.

If it wasn't for the keyboards at work I would never use a membrane keyboard ever again. 

Seriously tho, Filco Majestouch is p.nice. 

I prefer mechanical laptop style keys myself.
Minimum required force, maximum clicking feel.
I know some people prefer their keys to be 'stiff' and require to be pushed in deeply but I can't stand it personally.
Least fav would probably be the pebble trend.
Sadly, it does look pretty.

If anyone has any recommendations for me...
I'm looking into switching away from my $5 membrane keyboard. 

Actually, they're 'scissor' switches, not mechanical... 

I have a Filco Majestouch Tenkeyless with Cherry MX brown switches. Das Keyboard is very good also, but I like Tenkeyless. 

Interesting, you guys never use the numpad then? I like it for rapid number entry which is much harder with the top row number keys. 

I use the numpad. Mostly when I do bills nowadays but in the past I've used it a lot more for various projects and jobs. I used to work as an operator in a wastewater treatment plant and there was a lot of math and calculations regarding flows, biological loads and such that had to be done. Some hourly, some every 4 hours, some daily and some weekly. The PC was my calculator.

In the 'olden days' I used to employ VDU operators. The average KDH was 8000. Anyone doing less than 6000 KDH was found alternative work, and the fastest operators (always women) would exceed 10000. Try that using the top row of the keyboard :)

Interestingly, their arms didn't move, it was all wrist action (down boy!) and that inevitably resulted in RSI only we didn't know it then. 

yeah, don't think i could do without the numpad. i don't do a ton of data entry but when i do, it's much quicker. 

It's pretty much essential on that keyboard since there's nothing to denote which key you hit. (which is fine for letters but the top row of numbers is not easy for me).

Also, I have got the keyboard with the blue switches for super extra clickiness. I can't overstate enough the sheer satisfaction that typing brings using this keyboard, I actually long to be at my keyboard sometimes (when I'm not at it, like at work when I'm using the crappy membranes). 

I've been playing the original Id levels a little bit lately and also trying out different engines, and I think I've noticed some rare disparities in items that appear. Does anybody else see the same results?

Example 1: In Gloom Keep, E1M5, on Hard, there is a health pack in the final room with the rune gate when playing in Quakespasm. On the same skill with Darkplaces, no health pack.

Example 2: In The Crypt of Decay, E2M3, on Hard, there is a box of rockets in the zombie balcony near the Gold door when playing in Quakespasm. Again, same skill and Darkplaces, it's gone.
