Which server are Escapists playing on? As Themis has been my MMO community home since the Crossroads of Dereth days, wondering if any of the old schoolers are playing this game and grouping up somewhere...

One word: perfection. In 2006 I played a perfectly release-able Starcraft:Ghost demo on the E3 floor, but that didn't stop them from scrapping it altogether. Now, that's definitely not to say that there's any chance in hell that they'd scrap SC2, but it tells you a lot about their storied work...

I'm with the rest of the doubters, it'll be a Spring '10 release at the earliest.... which I'm ok with with that means more possible free beta action. To Blizzard, from my favorite artist Salvador Dali: ?Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it.?

That was seriously brilliant. Looking forward to catching these on a regular basis. And Russ, I know exactly what you mean. I was out in Utah earlier this summer and ran into a similar, yet much more inbred and "polygamized" entertainment experience. Most would call it a horror film, I...

That was honestly beautiful Russ. Thank you for your insight and account of what little you knew of him. In this deep dark world we live in, any light is truly welcome and warming, and I'm sure the Kim family would appreciate it. My thoughts and prayers will continue to go out to them.

Oh trust me, I know what you mean! Just jogging some memories ;) Next time we meet I'll have to throw together this "tame" drink for you and see what you think. Deal?

When compared to some of the suicidal drinks that have been posted in this thread, you're damn right it sounds tame! How about a little vinegar and frank's hot - does that give it that extreme edge we're looking for here? And FYI Fletch... you have partied with ME.

I'll have to side with Lara on this one - A good beer is hard to beat. I'm very partial to bitters, it's a taste you really learn to devlop when you live in europe for awhile, my favorite being John Smith's bitter (not available in the states unfortunately). I do, however, enjoy a fruity...

So the trick is to burn the back of your throat and instantly cauterize the wound with more burning? Sounds delightfully sadistic, who's got the absinthe?

Hot Bites. It's a tiny shop in Alnwick (pronounced ANN-ICK for those of you don't speak the Geordie dialect), in the Northumberland region, UK. Yes, they actually call them cheese fries and not "cheese chips" as you might suspect. Try 'em with a little vinegar, you won't be disappointed...

I'll have to second Master of Orion, though I didn't stumble on to the series until MOO 2. That game happily ate up many hours of my high school life. Honestly though, it's very hard to pick just one, especially after being reminded of some of the excellent titles mentioned in this thread so...

Yes, having the same issue as well. The problem looks to be that there is no pdf there to download (hint: 404) ;)

I saw a report stating that some of these will be $10 to purchase. In my personal opinion that's too much. Sure, many of them have added functionality in the form of online play, but one would think that there's very little in development costs going into making these available. Whatever...

At the time of writing that post it was showing 20:07. They snuck a quick fix in on me ;)

One other thing: I am fairly certain (and by fairly, I mean 99.9% sure) that I did not make that last post at 8:07pm today, since, well, it hasn't occurred yet. If in fact I did, I would like to report a temporal anomaly bug in this very forum *grin*
