How do I find this room in Gameranger? There's nothing in "Hosted chat rooms".
Gotta' be gold to host a chat room, apparently. I was just running a game room for frozen throne, but had conked out, uh, probably around four 1/2 hours before your post :P

There should be a little search bar near the bottom; putting in b12 should find the room, when I put it back up. I'll be sticking with B12test until I manage to host for more than four or five people, heh. Still not 100% sure I can handle hosting for larger numbers.

I'll probably see about throwing up the room again some point after noon, GMT-7.

... Bliz doesn't offer that (near as I could tell, anyway), though sending the old CD in to get processed and getting a new key from them, is 10$... plus shipping. If I was going in for one, I'd be going in for both (Since there's two functioning CDs sitting at the foot of my bed, now, both RoC and FT.), and that'd be a flat 20+, which I can't really afford to spend on anything but food and gas, right now. Plus, yanno', there's places selling the battlechest for around 20 bucks. Christmas money's probably buying a new car battery, ha.

Doesn't help that I'm pretty vehemently opposed to buying something I already own, especially if the money's not going to the actual maker :P

... and I don't want to give Bliz any more money anyway. So, moral of the story, until I get around to going back to the house the CD case is probably hiding in, it's not-bnet for me! A beautiful tale of unbeauty. It's also two o'clock, and I'm both tired and rambly.

Ah, some folks are. S'just that I can't, because while I've got the game CDs, the cases with the CD keys have been lost for years, now. It'd actually cost less to buy new CDs than it would to send m'old ones in to get new keys and I can't afford it either way anyway, so Bnet is currently out of my reach.

You can probably set up some time with the Bnet enabled folks to run a few rounds, I just can't join in or host for yeh ;)

E: Closing down for the night about 40 min early, but yeah. If we can get some times from folks able to use not!Bnet, I can probably get some hosting in, if there's interest.

... if you can save me the trouble of having to figure out how to host via hamachi, I'd join you there. Could see about switching over anyway, but... Gameranger's been pretty painless, so far.

E: I'm keeping the room up for another two hours or so, though, if you wanna' give GR another try. Just in case :P

Throwing up a b12test room, pass dwarf, to see if it works.

Edit: At least tentative functionality! Joe's in the lan lobby with me, waiting for the game to DL. Soon, to see if in-game works!
E2: Seems to work! Managed to get through a game without massive lag or crashes or whathaveyou. Anyone else interested?
E3: The above ^, ran a short game of an MtG map, jumped poor joe with a hoard of flyers after a bit.

I'm now definitely taking links for maps folks would be interested in playing.

Wait, what about people who work in the adult entertainment industry? It's probably SFW there.

If the Universe is Finite, then everything we do, everything we know will one day not exist. The net effect of all life on earth in the long run will be Zero.

If the Universe is Infinite, then everything we do, everything we know is infintesimally small compared to the universe, and in the long run is Practically Zero.

Thought about that until 4am last night, unable to sleep.
Realizing that was incredibly freeing, heh. Probably the best day of my life when I actually got around to internalizing that truth. Getting there took a few full out depressive breakdowns, but it was worth it :)

I'll leave the room on gameranger up from now until about midnight, CST (GMT -7), unless someone else gets something working or I can get confirmation it's not working. Then it'll be trying something else :P

I'm definitely down, if someone can get something going. I can try that gameranger thing again, I guess. Throwing up a b12test room, pass dwarf, to see if it works.

Carpe Fulgar is one of those weird companies that you never expect to like. If they translate something, that translation usually works remarkably well. They're my favorite translation group, I guess :P
They're starting to slide in behind AGTP for me. Definitely m'fave commercial translation group, though.

In other news, did anyone else find the computer much better at controlling swordchick than they are? Things went a lot easier when I let th'comp handle melee and regulated myself to artillery work :P

So, playing through the demo. Looks like the main character may just be a little crazy.

MinionFriend: (Paraphrased) Aiee, those are bones! PEOPLE bones! Run the fook away!
Main Character: Oh hey, we're not the first ones to get here.

Note the whole ostensibly 10 years old thing. The normal response to a pile of people bones in a monster filled dungeon is not to not have a frak to give. Fun times, hee

Edit: Ha, okay, that one got me. Was fighting this bug thing that looked like a bee and spread sleeping dust junk around, was thinking 'what the hell is this thing? Is it a moth? Is it a bee?' Then I looked at the name. Mothbee.

You can always imagine it as a 40 year old with stunted growth. Throws a whoooole new spin on things.

Nnyeah, reality seem to disagree. Last I bothered checking, the general percentage of the human population that could be identified as homosexual hasn't really had any major shifts in, well, pretty much ever. Genetically, if there's any basis for sexual preference in what genes influence, that means that it's either riding on something else that isn't affected by the selection pressures you're presenting, or the selection pressures aren't strong enough to make a difference. I personally haven't seen any studies -- or even well founded conjecture -- that indicate that homosexuals are any less likely to procreate than heterosexuals, to any statistically meaningful degree.

Humans have fairly low success odds for conceiving, so it takes a lot of sex to make children. A gay man might do his marital duty now and then, but nowhere near the amount that a straight man would. This would leave his wife unsatisfied, so odds are pretty high that his children would actually be his neighbour's children.
Do you... do you have any actual backing for any of those statements? Or even personal, anecdotal evidence? Or is that just unfounded conjecture?
