So func has had a secret RSS feed for a while, but I finally added a link to the news page.

I'm also considering making a personalized RSS feed for each user, but I'm not sure how it would work and whether it would be useful. 

So far my place has been great. I live literally 10 ft from a pond filled with ducks and a gazebo to take it all in...

Mucklucks! Galoshes! Macadamia! Gazebo!

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, download "bulbous bouffant by Dr Demento 

RPG,
that's pretty bad! Was he actually talking to you? Did he know what was going on? Is the band any good?
My room mates have always been pretty cool. My big complaints/hissyfits are like "I bought the dish soap AND the toilet paper this week, god dammit!" then they hand me a joint, and a mug of cheap wine. So if they are pricks I don't really notice. 

A mug of wine? What... What the FUCK!?

RPG, ouch, change room mates man. =\ 

"then they hand me a joint, and a mug of cheap wine"

I need roommates like that. 

I was told that he was sleep walking. My landlord has offered to let me stay in another of his houses for the remainder of the lease. 

Bal - yes a mug. Our house of 6 people has like, 4 coffee mugs and a plastic cup I don't drink out of anymore for private reasons.

RPG - but is the band good? 

I'm pretty sure we have laws against drinking wine in anything other than wine glasses here... ;) 

rpg3dm2 rocks. I love it. 

so it could be me forgetting, but are lifts always so jerky ?

Not many levels have them but stuff like vondur's kaos level and a few others do, and as you are going up on them, its like being on a trampoline. 

of House last night, left me wondering, is this show ten times better than anything else on television, or what? Among Hospital proceduals you have the choice of the simple minded morality play of ER, or you have the preciously written whoredom of Grey's Anatomy which is as cliched as the Anna Di Franco songs that it sometimes uses. House is just so much more interesting. 

but I think it's awesome you americans know who Hugh Laurie is.

You should get some tapes of Blackadder (series 3 or 4 i think) if you want to see him in some awesome comedy.

On the subject of season finales... how about that 24, eh? Jack Bauer is my anti-drug. 

Drew: They're ok. It's more a matter of whether or not you like jam bands that don't play original material.

nitin: Thanks. :) 

how does it (24) compare to seasons 1-4 ? I quite liked 1 and 4, thought 2 was decent in the second half and 3 was faily average. 

Arrested Development.

Sadly dead beyond recovery now (DAMN YOU FOX!) but still three seasons of absolute awesomeness. 

But I always wait for the DVD to come out before watching it. I saw the premier two hour episode this January and it looked like a strong start.

Last night Hugh Laurie did a bit of a ridicule of the accent a character who is British. It was a kind of a wink to the audience that Laurie is not really the Jersey boy he effortlessly plays on the show. 

IMHO, 24 season #5 was better than seasons 3 and 4. 

I love it, waiting for season 3 on dvd. Gob Bluth is one o th ecoolest characters ever.

jago,

thanks. 

anyone got an answer on the q3 question, it's really annoying me. Other maps I've played recently with lifts :

storm3tourney4, pjw3dm6, lae3dm3 

season 5 of 24 is by far the craziest season yet. I'd say my favourite seasons were 4 and 5, but it's not easy to think of a season objectively of a show with so many episodes/twists/etc, if you know what I mean. It all sort of merges together.

i should get arrested development on dvd 

Resulting in awfulness. If you run a listen server and play with bots, you might get away with shoving sv_fps up to something silly like 72 (default is 20). 

cheers. Highly recommend arrested development too.


blackdog,

thanks, I'll try that although I have no idea what you mean. 

OK, after some initial hassle with my new computer, I finally was able to get it to work. I reinstalled Doom3, and holy fucking hell this game is awesome when you can actually run the game with high settings and all details turned up. I think I played for about an hour in my room alone in the dark before my nerves got shot. I love this system. Holy moly. 

anyone know if there's any command to imit the max fps like in quake 3 ? It *seems* to vary the player speed depending on whether you're getting 100 or 300 fps in an area. 

I think I played for about an hour in my room alone in the dark before my nerves got shot.

It is the one game I would have to space out my playing for a few hours at a time not out of boredom but, as you so well put it, because 'my nerves were shot.'
