Well, I have a linux install.. don't use it much. Mostly I just use cygwin! Or ssh on one of many servers I have access to! I like the command line and a lot of the GNU utils, mostly. Very powerful rapid scripting interface and whatnot. The rest of the operating system is kind of "meh".

Also looking back in the DJ thread, I think 108 was probably the biggest troll and incited the most rebellion! ^_^

Bott my exit wasn't particularly dramatic was it?

I created that thread for the use of anyone who wished to leave in a storm of drama but didn't want to clog up the forum you know.

what have you had published winker?
I had one very small piece in an early issue of this fine publication. I don't really write about videogames when I write about videogames so I never tried a follow up.

Hey guys, I have a few totally relevant topics to discuss here.

1. Did anyone notice my word filter on icycalm yet? It's awesome and subtle!

2. I've been playing Rainbow Six: Vegas lately and it's really fucking good. I described it to Matt as the more complex, real-world version of Gears of War, and I think that's a pretty good description. It's good.

3. My Xbox 360 broke Sad

4. The whole Insert Credit thing is insane. I never made any posts, but I wonder if I made the ban list?

5. You're all welcome here! We actually absorbed some Fallout fanboys after their minor forum attack on us, so a couple "hi Winker"s are totally cool by us.

-Wes

It's nice to drink I wasn't really aiming to get drunk because too much booze and too much grass makes you pass out but just the right amount of both turns you into a human dynamo.

Next week I think i'm going to the beer hall to eat pizza and drink from the vast array of beers that they have on draught.

I am very busy this week WIlkes. I do not have time to leave, okay?

Also, I do not have a Wii but I have access to many and have spent some hours with them. I'm not all that entertained yet.

Thank you for agreeing with my sentiment Majora's Flask!

Wilkes, it's not true, I love everyone, just some people more than others.

Oh fuck, I forgot about leaving.

Insert Credit isn't MadMan's Cafe. Most people from MMC wouldn't come post here. So when I want to go read Brandon and Chaz talking about SO AND SO on MMC, I head over to MMC! Insert Credit isn't 4chan /v/. Most people from 4chan /v/ wouldn't come post here. So when I want to go read Anonymous and Anonymous talking about SO AND SO on 4chan /v/, I head over to 4chan! Insert Credit isn't Quarter to Three. Most people from Quarter to Three wouldn't come post here. So when I want to go read Important Person and Intellectual talking about SO AND SO on QTT, I head over to QTT! Insert Credit isn't GAF. So when I want to go read duckroll and Toups orgasming/trolling (respectively) about SO AND SO on GAF, I head over to GAF!

Just sayin'. That's what I do and it worked for me ;_;

3. My Xbox 360 broke Sad

So, like, broke how? Into pieces? It won't read DVDs? What?


Won't turn on!

Long story, but basically I was in a bunk ass Alabama hotel room with a TV that didn't even have composite inputs, so I ended up driving an hour at midnight one night to get a cable (whatever that input is called) input adapter dealy and got a $130 speeding ticket on the way back to my hotel for going 68 in a 45.

I got back and the cable worked for a few days, then last night, around the time of the 4-chan attacks, Christina and I rented Hard Candy - the movie about the 14 year old girl who lures a pedophile to her and then tortures him.

We popped it in the 360 and made it through the first hour. At that point it started giving me "cannot read disc" errors. I checked the back and it was all scratched up. I took the movie back to the store and swapped it out, and when I tried to turn on the 360 to put the disc in, I got nothing but a black screen. It's been broken ever since.

More later after I check the damages again.

-Wes

Guys, I'm going to start a little project here in this thread. As I said before, I might never hear from a lot of you people again, and I'd like to end our relationships on a high note. So I'm going to say how I feel about people. I don't mean that as in "I've always hated you" though, even though it kind of sounds like it if you just concentrate on that sole sentence. But that's really not what I have in mind! I'm going to do this, because if worst comes to worst, I know that I'd have liked to say this to the people that I'd like to say it to.

So anyway, hi winker. I hope that wherever you go after this will be a place that I am at, or failing that, that wherever you go will be a nice place that will accept you for who you are (a person of chinese descent with certain abbrasive tendencies, yet a sharp mind and as sharp a wit). If we never hear from eachother after the end of the IC forums, then I'd like you to know that I've always liked talking to you, and that I consider you my internet friend. When I saw a thread that said "Last post by winkerwanker/mrs. mustache" or whatever you called yourself at the time, I always wanted to read it. Because I knew that it would be, at the very least worth my time even if it was just the letter o and also the letter k.

Baron Patsy, I think that you are completely amazing for your age. You have taste and smarts that would suit an intelligent man of 20-23, at least. While you have certain social problems in real life, I feel certain that you will overcome them and turn into something amazing in just a few years. Something that I'd be glad to have the privilege (thanks dhex) to know. You will have a very interesting life, if you let yourself have it, and I'm pretty sure that you will.

If you ever want to talk about something, anything, just give me a holler on AIM.

Also stotelheim I must say that I have always enjoyed internetting with you from hell onwards. You were my one true hell enigga and I was delighted when you made the occasional post on insert credit after I was sent hurtling through time and I was even more delighted when you moved entirely onto insert credit.

I doubt that I could have been as entertaining as I so evidently was without you as my trusty mule ok

Thank you winker. That means a lot to me, although I slightly resent the trusty mule comment. When you were banned from hell, I truly began to notice how much you gave to the place, and how much was lost. You are a really funny guy, and though you can be kind of a jerk, the flaws that you point out are always there. You tell it like it is, and you're always the life of the internet party. Even though that phrase is terrible I hope that you can understand what I mean. You invigorate the people around you, and you make them want to be giddy and silly and just have a fine old time as any. If there was one person that I would have to choose to remain in touch with from the IC boards, it would be you.

hi guys.

I figured out the one good part about all of this for me:

No one in the world can honestly call me the worst admin IC ever had and sleep comfortably at night. Thank you icy!

If this is really the end of IC as we know it, I propose we Axe it out right by having another glorious Race to 1000 Thread, right up here at TGQ (unless they don't want it). It can either be this thread or a new one, but lets do it. Maybe spin the last few pages of this thread into a new thread to serve that purpose? Maybe we'll get lucky and TDS will appear.

Casino Royale is pretty good, but towards the end the pacing gets too brisk at the cost of the credibility of Bond's character development. That and there's no real villain.

But at least it's a reminder that Bond is far from being a good guy.
