I don't use any kind of emulator. I run XP on my Macbook. ;) That's what dual boot is all about. It isn't an emulator, it is actually Windows XP on a software-managed partition of the hard drive. And it works great, with only the following minor issues: 1 - Tends to lock up when put into...

Control over Alliance Chat is a biggie. Without that, anyone in an alliance can 'hijack' Alliance Chat, and if that person's guild doesn't have an officer online at the time there's nothing that can be done about it. Paul

I'll be there. BTW Joshua has asked very specifically for us to give the Icy Veins spike from PvXWiki a try. He and I have been practicing some in Zaishen with the build. Can we maybe plan to try that for next week? The IV build is really well done, has been well-vetted by the PvXwiki...

Red Delicious > Macintosh When I was a child, a friend of my dad actually build a computer, using a Macintosh CPU. He called his computer a 'Crab Apple'. Dea and I own a Macbook, and I can't imagine any PC notebook in its price range (around $1100 a year ago or so) working out as well for...

In celebration of the Alpha-Complex-wide Toothpaste awareness daycycle, the Computer has suspended all troubleshooter missions this evening. Please stand by for further instructions regarding an upcoming mission. Thanks you for your attention, citizens. The Computer's tip for the day: While...

As per Dredd's post, we are now doing easy pressure builds on Fridays, while Tuesday is reserved for trickier builds like spike. So for tonight we need to do a non-spike build that takes into account players who may be less experienced. I am going to make every effort to be logged in by 10PM...

Lol, I can just imagine 'mechs vs clones. :rolleyes: I think I am going to continue Paranoia for the time being...but as I mentioned earlier, I do want this to be a general role-playing group. Keep the suggestions coming, and I'll be scouring over sourcebooks and listening to gaming podcasts...

Awesome! :D Paul

Spike builds for us tend to be either very good or very bad. When we've got experienced players in the right places and experienced monks, a spike build can carry us right into teh halz. But when just one thing is off - for instance, when no experienced players are willing to call or when I...

Ishy, you are an exceedingly kind, patient and mature person, which is why you're such a good teacher. But most of our PvP players tend to be (a) Highly Competative and (b) YOUNG (which doesn't always denote a chronological deficit - some of you know exactly what I'm talking about). People who...

Great news Jason, thanks for sharing with us your strong committment to your wife. Paul

I can't imagine doing Battletech over TS...but yea, it seems like a blast. I know I'd get geeky over building a mech... Paul

Those are great suggestions. I was thinking about Feng Shui as well, which uses a fantastic very very simple die roll system and (like Paranoia) nobody has to have a book to play. But I've been really interested in looking into Tri-Stat. And Shadowrun is a blast. And then there's Cyberpunk...

That's fascinating Chadley, though I think it's us as an overall race, culture and society that are still in our infancy. The Church can't be any more than its people, and we haven't come as far as a people as our technology would make it seem. I think an advanced alien culture looking at us...

This weekend is going to be busy, but I should be able to run a module Sunday night if you guys and gals are up for it. I'll want to start it at say 7PM EST and not run any later than 9:30. Much later than that and I become pretty useless as a Gamemaster. :cool: Paul

I signed up. If everything works out with that, I think I might want to scrap paranoia here and do a different role-playing game instead. I sense that most of my Teamspeak players are craving something with more character development, etc. So maybe D&D or Cyberpunk or something else would fit...

I'm Eastern so your 6PM is my 9PM. That actually works pretty well, because most weekdays I'm not home from work or church until after 9PM my time. I'll definitely log in tonight and see if you're around. Now that I've found other players, I want to get into the habit of logging in...

http://wsbradio.com/news/020208baptists.html The above very short article (1 page) made my eyes pop out. I had no idea anything like this was going on. And to be honest, I really have some very mixed feelings about it. What do you guys (and gals) think about the idea of liberal and...

It's good that God doesn't call us to like people, but to love them. I definitely can't choose to like the obsessive/compulsive woman (my wife's coworker) who spends tremendous time and energy making life miserable for virtually everyone around her. It's not only beyond my capability to like a...
