Every year near my birthday I have the same ritual as yourself, But i update a list from a save in my Mozilla cache with URL's and passwords and update it to a Flash Drive that i keep in one of these: http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/security/855d/?srp=1 For 12 dollars over at least 5 years you too can share the same security that I do ;)

I figure its out there, floating in the distant recesses of space. and it somehow is only effecting certain types of toyota's and audi's. We've seen this in Maximum Overdrive people - the solution is simple! Blast it out of the sky!

Miles/Frosty from Lake Superior Baby! What What! Good to see Bad Ad on here as well!

Runescape is a game for 10 year olds that are skipping school and drinking kool-aid. UO still has over 200k subscribers, and they made Guiness with the best MMORPG of all time until WoW came along, it has no better following then UO. and if you cant afford 15 dollars a month then you are probably homeless.

I always wondered how long it would take before an Ultima Online post made its way to slashdot. I played several years on the Lake Superior shard, and after finally selling my account and moving on in 2003 i kept in touch with over 25 people that i was friends with from the realm. from those people 4 or 5 were still playing a UO Hybrid on a private server while others merged into other popular MMO's yet i never found anyone that is still playing a particular MMO. I've played Several MMORPGs after UO but i find the same thing to be true: You just cant compare 2D to 3D when it comes to Online Games like UO. The griefing was pretty widespread, even when OSI/EA released a mirrored world (Felucca/Trammel) for the PvE crowd to play in. Insurance on items so you wouldnt lose them quickly came after that, and the good old Ultima that we all knew started to dwindle and lose its sparkle. The Skill based characters with cap limits also made for more interesting PvP, Only the non-elite would complain about Griefing or PKing. Bringing Harrowers into the game with AoS ment actual boss fights with multiple people. And to think that was almost 6 years after they released the game. and its still going on what, expansion number 7 now? The 2D platform made larger fighters and group battles much more fun. Easier to see everything on screen but you have to know where to look to see where the danger is coming from. An old friend of mine once had a long discussion on why UO was so popular, and especially when it came to PvP i believe it to be the most skill based option for gamers out there. When it came to Dueling you had to time everything right, keyboard shortcuts with UOAssist over clicking spells were key, insta-switching weapons and knowing when to time that stun punch or arm a halberd. As for recreating a success of underground status with lost UO players i dont think it will happen... Most people that enjoyed it will just go back to a player run shard that was pre UO:R.

i broke 2 gameboys with my forehead as a kid, no jokes. Skate or Die: Tour de Thrash was such a piss off i headbutted the screen during the last level all the time, until i broke my first 2 game boys. try it at home kids - it works!
