Dear people who I may or may not work with. - ty97 Nov 27, 09:07 2
- For reals? No! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 27, 09:16
- We just had 6 people sign off on an invoice routing form for just short of 7figures.... - Will Hunting Nov 27, 09:10
There was a point in halo last night that made me and David realize - Truman Nov 27, 09:02 16
- I quickly learned that if you spawn in the middle of them, you sprint away. -- nm - Spawn Nov 27, 09:05 2
  - You clearly haven't played Spartan Ops a lot. - David Nov 27, 09:12 1
    - Yup. I want to play that one again -- nm - Truman Nov 27, 09:14
- Also I wonder if spartan ops scales for 4 player co-op or not - Truman Nov 27, 09:05
- tactics are great, when you lay them out and get a plan together.... - groiny Nov 27, 09:04 5
  - Honestly, a thought - Truman Nov 27, 09:10 2
    - I also think we need to play more custom games. - groiny Nov 27, 09:11 1
      - Possibly, we do get credits for playing that way - Truman Nov 27, 09:12
  - Yeah, it's easier in campaign or ops then multiplayer - Truman Nov 27, 09:08
  - There are times when I wish Halo had leashes. -- nm - David Nov 27, 09:05
- Spartan Ops is a sweet way to rack up accomplishments. 3.4 is a goldmine. I'm a Hunter and Banshee master. -- nm - volnelk Nov 27, 09:04 5
  - Yeah. I have been playing many of them twice - Truman Nov 27, 09:07 2
    - I play through on normal the first time as they are released. I am working my way through a second time on legendary. - Spawn Nov 27, 09:10 1
      - I just play on legendary. The third mission this week is a killer if you play solo. A hint - Truman Nov 27, 09:11
  - Wow, this is a fantastic idea. Thanks! -- nm - David Nov 27, 09:05 1
    - I did it on heroic. You can just slaughter Banshees with a mantis. Plus, each banshee is piloted by an elite which you also get credit for. -- nm - volnelk Nov 27, 09:07

- That's awesome. -- nm - Krusty Nov 27, 08:57
- nice -- nm - Epiphany Nov 27, 08:56
- I have a bmw visa card. It has a rewards program that gives service credits and such. I never paid attention to it until yesterday. They now offer - decline Nov 27, 08:55 3
  - Nice! -- nm - Krusty Nov 27, 08:57

  - dayyyymn -- nm - Epiphany Nov 27, 08:56

There's nothing about Chucky on SOA that doesn't make me laugh -- nm - prayformojo Nov 27, 08:47 10

- I accept that -- nm - amoxy Nov 27, 08:54 1
  - Ha. :-) -- nm - Krusty Nov 27, 08:57
- wait til you get to the Belle that never Tells -- nm - Epiphany Nov 27, 08:53 6
  - It was funny, just seemed a bit over the top -- nm - amoxy Nov 27, 09:00 3
    - how far are you into the show? are you already caught up? I'm one behind. Its been difficult to make it through -- nm - Epiphany Nov 27, 09:03 2
      - I am all caught up and looking forward to tonights -- nm - amoxy Nov 27, 09:06 1
        
        okay - since you watched all of the seasons back to back - do you feel *spoil discussion* - Epiphany Nov 27, 09:13
  - Those were some capital knockers. nm - ralph wiggum Nov 27, 08:54 1
    - they looked so real - I mean, how did they do that? it was crazy town. -- nm - Epiphany Nov 27, 08:57
The origins of the tv show Lost -- (link) - Beaker Nov 27, 08:43
Come with me if you want to live. -- nm - David Nov 27, 08:43 14
- you and reagen are death warrants. - groiny Nov 27, 08:47 12
  - In David's favor, he's a Big Damn Hero. He'll throw himself in front of zombies to save the rest of the group. nm - ralph wiggum Nov 27, 08:49 2
    - Also, nubby and Reagan are the most likely to be able to McGuyver stuff up for us. nm - ralph wiggum Nov 27, 08:51 1
      - Yup. Nubby's scientific expertise and knowledge could be very valuable. - Krusty Nov 27, 08:54
  - Please. My tactics would be this place's only hope for survival. -- nm - David Nov 27, 08:48 8
    - Let's not get ahead of ourselves there, Mr. Jason Garrett..... -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 27, 08:57 3
      - Only. Hope. -- nm - David Nov 27, 09:01 2
        
        Repeating it slower doesn't make it more true. - Will Hunting Nov 27, 09:08 1
        
        I have to talk slower for the slower troops. -- nm - David Nov 27, 09:13
    - I might not be able to overpower zombies but you all want me around. - Mel Profit Nov 27, 08:56 1
      - Plus, we could fit you in our pockets, just like a real swiss army knife. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 27, 08:58
    - Not if the compound's security cameras are all full-screen. -- nm - Roger More Nov 27, 08:52 1
      - The zombies always hide where the black bars are. -- nm - David Nov 27, 08:55
- Possibly the best SC commercial. - Krusty Nov 27, 08:46
Here's the results so far and the logic for keeping/excluding each candidate - volnelk Nov 27, 08:40 5
- Really? Nothing? That took forever to type. -- nm - volnelk Nov 27, 08:55 4
  - Everyone is focused on playing the game still and trying to decide which STers to take with them. -- nm - Krusty Nov 27, 08:56
  - heh, I read it and it jived with most of my own thoughts really -- nm - Beaker Nov 27, 08:56 2
    - Agreed. -- nm - MDH Nov 27, 08:58 1
      - One class to go. It's my biggest, so there are four more groups. -- nm - volnelk Nov 27, 09:00
I know it's early in the season but my Brooklyn Nets are in first place. :-) - Krusty Nov 27, 08:34
Left Hand, this is Right Hand, why don't you two go out back and discuss what you're both doing? -- nm - znufrii Nov 27, 08:33 3
- Most guys can get along with just the one hand, znu. -- nm - Mop (186 lbs) Nov 27, 08:49
- not now, I am busy. - znu's right hand Nov 27, 08:34
- *punches you equally hard* -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 27, 08:33
even better. Pick 6 ST'ers to take with you into the Zombie Apocolypse. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 27, 08:29 34
- give me Sciere, crash, kilbo, remlik, spawn, and vermin - groiny Nov 27, 08:43 13
  - sexist. -- nm - loosilu Nov 27, 08:44 12
    - Not sexist - amoxy Nov 27, 09:04 1
      - hee! -- nm - loosilu Nov 27, 09:06
    - I can enjoy your corpse before you turn. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 27, 08:44 9
      - We have no doubt you can enjoy her corpse. Now, back to the game's logic discussion. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 27, 08:47
      - I took heads off horses. I can handle a zombie. -- nm - loosilu Nov 27, 08:45 7
        
        (real ones, not video games like you pussies) -- nm - loosilu Nov 27, 08:45 6
        
        when there are zombie horses, I will keep you in mind. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 27, 08:47 5
        
        mammals are all built the same there. -- nm - loosilu Nov 27, 08:47 4
        
        it does not seem all that difficult to remove a head. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 27, 08:55 3
        
        you clearly never tried it. -- nm - loosilu Nov 27, 09:04 2
        
        in this scenario, it does not have to be pretty. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 27, 09:06 1
        
        that's a given if you're there. -- nm - loosilu Nov 27, 09:08
- a bunch of talls, so I can out-run them -- nm - Strongbad Nov 27, 08:40 4
  - or maybe I should gather as many gingers as I can to preserve the gene -- nm - Strongbad Nov 27, 08:46
  - *passes you while walking at a brisk pace* -- nm - Spawn Nov 27, 08:41 2
    - I am a *very* fast walker -- nm - Strongbad Nov 27, 08:42 1
      - *walks around you, does the meep-meep sound and then walks away* -- nm - Max si Nov 27, 08:44
- I'll choose the 6 STers (other than me) that realize (spoils) - Jim Nov 27, 08:36 1
  - you say that now, but wait till the zombies come knocking on your door -- nm - Beaker Nov 27, 08:38
- you (as long as we are in a bunker and don't have to run), Jim (for later eating), Sciere, nubby (see Google guy in Revolution), samara (I saw what - oblique Nov 27, 08:34
- Kelly cause she can cook. not WH because the rest of us need to eat. Then either doggie or JB for medical support. - loosilu Nov 27, 08:34
- The five slowest ones, plus Jovian -- nm - prayformojo Nov 27, 08:32 2
  - "those zombies left the mayo off your sub" *attacks* -- nm - Beaker Nov 27, 08:33 1
    - This made me laugh. nm - ralph wiggum Nov 27, 08:38
- like a harem? or 6 people who run slower than me? -- nm - Max Nov 27, 08:31
- you and crash are the first two I bring in. - Spawn Nov 27, 08:31 6
  - Groint clearly is bait. -- nm - Remlik Nov 27, 08:35 4
    - You are third. - Spawn Nov 27, 08:37
    - he has a bum k nee so he can't run. I think he's a stay back and fight guy. -- nm - loosilu Nov 27, 08:36 2
      - just for the record. I can run, it just isn't a pretty sight. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 27, 08:36 1
        
        Why should your running be any different from the rest of ya? :) -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 27, 08:37
  - I do have enough swords to supply a group of 15. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 27, 08:32
Is ST millions of dollars richer this morning? -- nm - Mop on Mac Pro Nov 27, 08:28 1
- wait for it -- nm - oblique Nov 27, 08:28
Here is a novel way to reduce your chances of getting the flu - amoxy Nov 27, 08:28 1
- My name is Spawn, and I approve of this message. -- nm - Spawn Nov 27, 08:28
there is no scenario where I keep the priest or pop star. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 27, 08:26 34
- Food for 7 for 3 months, then forage, or food for one for almost 2 years before needing to forage? I say they all can be Zombie bait. -- nm - TWuG Nov 27, 08:56
- Yup. (I mean unless the pop star is ridiculosuly hot and I can get some) Kidding -- nm - MDH Nov 27, 08:42
- 1-2-6-8-9-10....if #2 pitches a fit that I sent his wife to die, send him on his merry way and take the priest. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 27, 08:32 25
  - Copycat. - Spawn Nov 27, 08:33 24
    - Wait, I took the author instead of the priest, though. -- nm - Spawn Nov 27, 08:34 23
      - The author really didn't show much for me other than if you assume his skillset included military tactics - Will Hunting Nov 27, 08:36 16
        
        If that author knows strategy then he's worthwhile, especially if he knows past tech that was used. Cuase lets face it, all the modern weapons - Remlik Nov 27, 08:42 10
        
        Strategy is overrated -- you already have a soldier and a cop....I want useful. - Will Hunting Nov 27, 08:46 4
        
        So your priest can quote scripture at the zombies? -- nm - Spawn Nov 27, 08:58 3
        
        He can quiet down the invariable dissension in our ranks. - Will Hunting Nov 27, 08:59 2
        
        unless you are in a boys grammar school. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 27, 09:00 1
        
        In which case, i'm sure the cop and the backwoods racist will take care of our issue. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 27, 09:01
        
        what's complicated about pikes and shovels? -- nm - loosilu Nov 27, 08:44 2
        
        sure there's that. but Muskets would be useful (granted it's a one shot weapon) but it'd be helpful. - Remlik Nov 27, 08:50
        
        "stick them with the pointy end." -- nm - znufrii Nov 27, 08:45
        
        Yeah, the part of Walking Dead which aleways makes me laugh is that more of them do not follow M's lead and have swords. -- nm - Spawn Nov 27, 08:43
        
        good point -- nm - Beaker Nov 27, 08:42
        
        Most authors have lived a real life. Many priests, have not. -- nm - Spawn Nov 27, 08:38 3
        
        I'd give the priest the benefit of the doubt as far as the group dynamic.... - Will Hunting Nov 27, 08:40 2
        
        You must think a lot more of priests than I do, then. -- nm - Spawn Nov 27, 08:40 1
        
        hey if he's a Templar Knight then I'll take him. -- nm - Remlik Nov 27, 08:55
        
        he'll drink all the booze. -- nm - loosilu Nov 27, 08:36
      - I'd take the priest over the author. -- nm - loosilu Nov 27, 08:35 5
        
        I figure the priest is the first one who loses his mind and goes on a killing spree in the bunker - Beaker Nov 27, 08:35 4
        
        he can perform exorcisms. -- nm - loosilu Nov 27, 08:36 3
        
        In a world overrun with zombies, there is no god. -- nm - Spawn Nov 27, 08:39 2
        
        lots of devils though. -- nm - loosilu Nov 27, 08:41 1
        
        Yeah, and the last thing I want is a con man that lived off of hand-outs in my group. -- nm - Spawn Nov 27, 08:42
- the priest *might* be good at conflict resolution which, down the road, *might* be useful for group dynamics. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 27, 08:30 1
  - they're usually trained in counseling. -- nm - loosilu Nov 27, 08:32
- What if she is hot? -- nm - amoxy Nov 27, 08:29 2
  - if my life is possibly in someone's hands, I want them to be useful. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 27, 08:29
  - Do your business and broom her fast. -- nm - Spawn Nov 27, 08:29
- Agreed. - Spawn Nov 27, 08:28
If you've planned well enough to have a bunker for a zombie outbreak, chances are you have more than enough weapons to handle 10 people -- nm - Beaker Nov 27, 08:23 15
- Can't you see this zombie apocalypse game is tearing us apart?! -- nm - Loyola Nov 27, 08:26 14
  - heh. If there are going to be *7* humans left I fully admit that repopulating a planet full of how many billion zombies is low on my To Do List. -- nm - Spawn Nov 27, 08:27 9
    - Word. If the popstar was a girl though, I'd let her in. -- nm - Loyola Nov 27, 08:31 8
      - Have fun with Miley! -- nm - Spawn Nov 27, 08:36 1
        
        ooh, I would... -- nm - Beaker Nov 27, 08:48
      - "are you seeing anyone currently?" -- nm - Beaker Nov 27, 08:32 5
        
        Yeah but he's a zombie now *shrug* -- nm - Pop star Nov 27, 08:33 4
        
        "DARLA!" nm -- nm - groiny Nov 27, 08:35 3
        
        " It's all right, I like other girls" -- nm - Epiphany Nov 27, 08:55 2
        
        you put quotes around this. How cute. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 27, 08:56 1
        
        I know right? - Epiphany Nov 27, 08:59
  - Try it with 16 year olds. -- nm - volnelk Nov 27, 08:27 3
    - very similar to a thing we did during my negotiation training - Beaker Nov 27, 08:28
    - Cappie? nm -- nm - groiny Nov 27, 08:28
    - Cappie? -- nm - Spawn Nov 27, 08:28
