Granted. You enjoyed it, past tense, and it was the best RTS you ever played. You can never play it again, due to unforeseen circumstances involving a cat and an electromagnet. Your efforts to find it again are fruitless, as it appears to have disappeared from the internet. Eventually, your fruitless search for another copy fills your mind with doubt that you played it at all, wondering if you simply imagined the game in the first place. Your days are filled with longing for that RTS you remember playing, and you buy countless others looking for a similar experience. However, no other game ever compares to it, and buying every other RTS you ever found drives you deep into dept.

I wish for a bag of popcorn.

Yes, I did, and now I have the stupidawesome Pururin song stuck in my head again. Why did you mention it? WHY???

For a bit of interesting historical trivia, check out Linguistic purism in English (Wikipedia). Basically, the idea that English should be free of Latin and Greek influences. Poul Anderson piece on basic Atomic Theory written in this style called "Uncleftish Beholding". The concept of "Anglish" has it's proponents even today.

Also:

I hope that the quadruple L was a typo, because if not...

To the best of my knowledge (I don't speak Welsh), in Welsh, 'll' is its own consonant, not two 'l's. Thus, 'llll' is acually a double-ll

Like many, I'm crossing my fingers on a beta key right now.

PS. I'm a US player.

What, no, fuck, I'm an hour into EoE and now everything's turning into the last two episodes again. Why do you do this to me?

edit: crisis averted, everything just got a boatload more confusing. oh well.

On the bright side, you got more robot fights!

So anyone else catch Legend of Korra?

Bolin is 100 percent the Sokka of the group.

And overall, 'Holy Shit Snacks.'

I'm enjoying Legend of Korra, but  feel that the writing isn't as tight as the original series.

I've miniaturized the cart-based power converter, reducing it in size at the expense of a little power.

where P is power source
a are each gear assemblies
arrows represent rollers and direction of force
^ represents a pressure plate.

There is, of course, NS track along the rightmost column.

Be careful priming this machine. I'm not entirely sure, but I doubt it should be loaded in the active state.

Delay is ~10 ticks to trigger the plate. I'm using it as a not-gate for the hatch that shields haulers picking up materials from the dropshaft.

I think you can save a bit of power if the center gear assembly is replaced with an axle.

This is pretty cool. I'm posting to keep an eye on this thread.
