Is anybody going to GenCon this year?

I'll be getting my girlfriend and my passes at the end of the month.

This will be my first GenCon, so if there are any veterans out there with any tips on what to do or what to avoid, feel free to let me know

I got the giant Hackmaster 32 page GM screen.

I think I got the better part of the deal.

The trolls and flamebait really were trolls and flamebate. The funny stuff was funny, and the insightfull stuff insightfull.

While I did enjoy the GoDaddy commercial, I am quite sure that there are other companies that will do the hosting and domain thing for me.

What are some companies that you guys are using for hosting and such?

Back when history was just starting to be recorded and the oldest races were just discovering things like bronze, the world had may gods. These gods all bowed down to one powerfull diety that ruled them all, at least until he went mad and started a war with the other gods.

He began by turning the other gods against on and other, then as they weakened each other, he stepped in and killed those that he could, drove off the ones that he couldn't. When he stood over the world, his new prize, he smiled, then mad with power, began to destroy it.

The dragons, being the first race brought into being, and the last force able to confront the mad god. Vast armies of scaled bodies flew through the skies, many fell and were killed, but in the end, there were six left, and the mad god fell to the earth, leaving a vast crater.

These six dragons, having fed on the flesh and blood of the god, felt the power of godhood coursing through their veins. Each becomming a god in their own right. Sadly though, all that power was not enough for one, who lay in the arms of her mate, and slowly faded away.

Mad with grief at the loss of his mate, he flew far to the eastern continent where he began to remake all that he could, putting everything he could under his control.

The others each chose a domain, Realx built a lair in the crater, Fissure returned to his lair deep below the earths surface, Kalax Turned to the wilds of the north, and Maltarge sought his home within the waves of the seas.

As time would go on, these dragons would soon be worshipped as gods by the mortal races. History, and carefull editing, removes the names of the old gods, and any god attempting to gain a foot hold soon finds his congregation missing.

That's all I have time for now... I bring it up to date and give some play by plays of my characters exploits next time...

I see it as the beginning of the end for Hamas.

Think about it. If Hamas is in control of the government, then any act by them is no longer the act of a rogue terrorist group, it now becomes the action of the government of Palestine. This means that the next attack by Hamas will signal the end of Palestine.

Of course, it may also mean the start of world war three...
But that would depend on which how Iran handles the situation. I'm just hoping that it all happens before the develope nuclear capibilities...

Of course, the exact opposite could happen as well, and Hamas could become so bogged down by beuocracy that they can't blow up school busses without filling out form A-15327 obtaining the proper permits, getting written consent from the suicide bomber, and ensuring that all workplace saftey measures, such as goggles, hard hats, and gloves are observed. In which case, we may never have another bombing again....

I don't nesscessarily line my job, but it pays the bills, and since I work 4 ten hour days, I get three days off a week, during which I can see my girlfriend and attend classes. Which is the other thing that is new, and I don't nesscessarily like...

No, not the girlfriend you dolt, the classes. She's downright awesome, hell, she even has a character in my AD&D campaign(more on that later perhaps)

Currently, as I am a new transfer student to Slippery Rock University, I am taking an intro class, and I am learning such fun items as double clicking, and the basics of web page design. At some point we are supposed to go into Java, but I'm not entirely sure...

I pretty much just don't pay attention and do the assignments... So far, I think it's working.../P

I'm thinking wireless, but, I don't really have that much experience with wireless networking, let alone wireless networking over distances larger than an apartment.

Anybody got any ideas as to what to use, or how?

I can see it now...

Ugh...

Well, slapping it on there wouldn't be all that hard, but I'm guessing wiring it in is going to be the hard part...

Speaking of wiring, don't you just love finding out that one of your employees decided that instead of buying an new power adapter, he decided to grab the electrical tape and "fix" the broken plug on the old one?

Oh well, at least people like that pretty much garuntee me a job...

So I saw the matrix Revolutions.

I bet it's a lot like dating Bill Gates.

It starts off with lots of anticipation for the things to come. He gives you hints as to his bank account. Small (for him) gifts every here and there. Then, he gives you a Ferrarri.

Now, your thinking, damn, this car fucking rocks, holy shit, this is awsome, I wonder what he'll give me next. So, the next morning, he proposes to you. You think, "Well, I did get the cool car, there has to be something better for next year", so of course you say yes.

Only, now you have to sleep with Bill, and he's a computer programmer. Have you ever slept with someone who spends all their time staring at computer code all day? It ain't pretty, not in the least. Especially with Mr. Gates, cause he likes it in the butt.

So here you are, getting pounded in the ass by a scrawny little computer nerd, thinking to your self, "I wonder what I'll get next year, it's gotta be good." But next year comes around, and you get a civic. Sure, he promises that you'll get something better the next day, but that's just to keep you around so he can fuck you in the ass.

The way I see it, if I were fucking Bill Gates, I'd at least have that kick ass car...

I've got a friend who is looking and i really have no clue as to what he should get.

to be used for school and gaming. Any ideas?

BOSTON, Massachusetts (Reuters) -- Former President Bill Clinton said Wednesday Congress should change the rule that barred him from seeking a third term in the White House, but stopped short of saying he wants to return as commander-in-chief.

Speaking at the John F. Kennedy Library and Museum here, Clinton questioned certain aspects of the 22nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which prevents a person from being elected president more than twice.

Clinton said the amendment, passed after Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected to a record fourth term, should be changed simply to keep a person from being elected to more than two consecutive terms as president.

"I think since people are living much longer ... the 22nd Amendment should probably be modified to say two consecutive terms instead of two terms for a lifetime," Clinton said.

The former president said such a change probably wouldn't apply to him but would benefit future generations.

...

Sure, it probably wouldn't apply to him...
