Hear hear. If someone can get the taste and texture to actually, genuinely, match with meat, I don't really give a fribbly what the blazes sort of non-meat it's made of.

All/mostly movespeed Gangplank is entirely too fun to play. Kinda' useless in an actual fight, but enjoyable. S3 items make it a lil'more capable than it would have been in S2, I think.

Been building philostone->boots of swiftness->static shiv or zeypher->whichever I didn't get first->PD or triforce->Frozen mallet if there's still time. Since it's been bot TT games, the matches rarely last long enough to get my forth item, but zooming around with a steady 500+ ms is just... amusing. Skills go q->e->w->(q->e->r), then finishing off with w. I call it the "meep meep" build :P

You basically just zoom around shooting people then running away before they can shoot back, and buffing your team with your E when appropriate.

Any heroes in particular that lend themselves to 450+ ms builds? Hecarim seems obvious, but I'm not sure who else fits.

Seriously though, chicken don't need teeth to eat a person. Just enough chicken allies and a weak enough person.

Protip: Chickens will eat just about goddamn anything.

Yeah... as to the general discussion, I'm a little sympathetic towards beef. They're just kinda' harmless, really. On the other hand, they'd also probably be pretty much extinct if we didn't regularly eat them, so... yeah. Demand doesn't stay up, species'll slowly (or not so slowly) disappear, so, welp. Conservation efforts! Sorta'. In a fairly twisted way.

Chicken and pigs get no sympathy. They'd happily eat me, I return the favor. Privilege of the super-predator to stay on the consumer end of the equation. Most of the meat I eat falls into one of those two categories -- either only kept as a substantial population due to them being a meat critter, or them happy to consume my flesh. Not saying the general treatment of 'ems moral, but... eh. Society does worse things as a matter of course, so unless it's up to me, personally, to torture critters to make the flesh more delicious, I don't worry about it.

You have a point on dogs, but pigs have been placed at about the 4th most intelligent tasty animal on earth IIRC.
FTFY
... what's the top three? Because I'd put bacon around, like...

... first. Maybe second, but then I'm not sure what first would be :-\ Maybe as an average? Some sorts of prepared pork aren't that impressive, t'be fair.

Got a few things about stuff in the swamps I don't know the specifics of around here... frankly, there isn't much in the way of impressive myths left in the immigrant-descended population that makes up most of the folks in North Florida. Natives have some good stuff I don't actually recall, but we're... largely mythless in my community. Lil'bit of cryptozoology and some religious stuff still lingering, but for a community largely living in a swamp, of all things, we're surprisingly grounded. S'actually kinda' weird, now that I think about it.

If y'dig around, you can still get some stuff from some of the older folks, I think, but it doesn't really seem to be in the general zeitgeist of the area, at least that I've noticed.

Ah... I've got SMAC as well. However, instead of opting out, may I request that, should I win, the copy be instead given to whoever comes out last through whatever means of selection used? Providing they haven't won anything yet. Just invert the list should Frumple win :P

Or just opt me out. Whichever is more amusing.

...? I see no Sarcasm Font. Sounds like sincerity to me -- given how long it's been since an official update, someone not popping by the forums every once it a while could easily assume GH was just dead. Which it's not, just kinda' in Incursion mode.

And GH 1&2 is a good game, brudda' ;D

And damn, there's a lot of others everywhere
Eschatology and related concept systems have always had a fairly strong influence on people, really. Hell, Christianity was largely an eschatological theology when it first came around -- lot of the early folks genuinely believed the world was ending within their generation or the next, at the latest. S'not really all that surprising.

Not really sure about the psychology of it, or if there's been much solid research into it. Would probably be pretty fascinating.

Hit another very chill OCRemix track. Anyone know what kind of like, style that is? Or know of something similar?

Back to happy.  Street Fighter - Mega Man crossover.  Street fighter themed stages and bosses include Ryu, Chun-Li and the gang.  Best part, it's free, and has no worries about getting in trouble with capcom, because apperantly they helped make it.
Oi. Don't hold out on us. When you say things like that, link it :P

Yeah... it's worth noting I generally avoid heavy reading (that's doesn't lean toward academic philosophy, anyway) these days. Most of the "high quality" stuff... frankly, it tends toward goddamn depressing. (Unhappy) sex, death, and bigotry -- I just summed up 90+% of "great literature" I've read and heard about (and it's not an inconsiderable amount, because I chewed through a lot of it before I got sick of it.). If I want to observe that, I'll go outside or turn on the news, y'know? So I tend toward lighter stuff -- more specifically, I enjoy well written (from a stylistic/grammar standpoint, if not necessarily depth of meaning) crack fanfiction better than almost any other genre I've encountered. I love a good laugh, and a bit of well intentioned naughtiness, maybe a great quest or an interesting world and its explorations. I got tired of "weighty reading" and shoving the human condition in my face when I was about fifteen :-\

Fairly quick followup! Looks safe enough to just pass verbatum, so here you folks go:

No big problems- ChaosForge has SQL issues, so Kornel is moving everything to a new server. In the meantime, all the game files are still available on SourceForge.

Peridot, myself, and a few others are currently working on a new version of GearHead written in Python. The homebrew scripting language used in previous versions really prevented other people from contributing. So there's a lot going on behind the scenes, even though there hasn't been a public release in a while.

Thanks for the concern.

- JH.

P.S. In other GH news, early next year should see the release of the first few issues of GearHead Comics as free ebooks.

Turned out I've still got Mr. Hewitt's email address (or at least an old one) laying around my old messages. Fired off a short query as to if everything's alright... maybe I'll get a response. Fellow's comic site wuzzit seems to be up and was updated fairly recently (about two weeks ago), so maybe it's just some kind of website hiccup rather than Joeseph running into major problems or somethin'.

Depending on title length, I submit "Armokian Revelry" for it is a name with style.
