I'm 41, and I have a core group of buddies with whom I have been multi-gaming since 1995. We met when Duke Nukem 3D came out, and on weekends we would rewire our employer's network to give our workstations the 10MB connections (we were the IT folks) and we would Duke it up all day. Then UO came out, and we were the early adopters of the first cable modem lines, and we would crush peeps with our low pings. And I can't tell you the number of times we were called "low ping bastards" in Team Fortress Classic.

I think my age group... some of us... are the first ones looking forward to being old and infirm so we can chillax in a nursing home all day, owning bitches in online games and watching a torrent of Aliens in 2160P while peeing into a catheter. "dtmancom, you have visitors!" "Go away, raiding." And, of course, we'll be 75 years old and mocking the console noobs.

How do I mod the judge a Troll?

Reloaded the last version of Office I bought, which was Office 2000. It is still doing everything I need to do. Imagine that.

But at least they were able to get men on the moon. The USA can't even get people into space at the moment.

In a marriage, you can either argue with your wife and still be wrong, or you can just be wrong from the get-go.

Might as well conserve your energy.

I was the first kid in high school in 1987 to be turning in typed homework with GeoWrite, and reports with embedded diagrams I drew in GeoPaint, thanks to GEOS. I even still had sex for the first time in 1988!

It's hell when your life peaks at the age of 15.

As soon as I saw the headline, I knew I would read "Romney" in the summary. Keep the narrative alive, soldiers.

Obama's place of birth is an actual Constitutional issue. Ryan's cliques in high school are not.

If you took away my electricity right now, I would not be living in "squalor and filth." I would be living without electricity. Since I already grow my own vegetables and eggs, and most importantly, I brew my own beer...... I and a lot of the other poors outside of your "area of profitability" will be living quite comfortably.

This is why there are no animals within 10 miles of Cape Canaveral.

That would be hope, and change.

I just wonder what is meant by "they vote and are ruining things for the rest of us."

My child will be well-schooled on the Theory of Evolution no matter what the government decides to teach him, and he will know that ID is bullshit. And, I will make sure he understands evolution, unlike, I would estimate, 75% of the people who say they "believe" in evolution.

Nothing is being "ruined" until Christians are allowed to start killing heretics, Taliban-style. I don't think we're there yet.

Too bad you never got any government money to address your anger management issues.

Maybe you aren't being targeted by a small handful of zealots... maybe it's just that a whole bunch of regular people think you're kind of a dick?

And hey, maybe it's both.
