Hm... just realized I might be able to get an XBox sooner than planned...any tips on which one to get? - secretslacker Feb 17, 12:06 11
- just get the one with the 20 Gig harddrive and I highly recommend the rechargable batteries and charger. -- nm - Remlik Feb 17, 12:14 3
  - Hasn't the 20GB version been replaced by a 60GB one? -- nm - Guigue Feb 17, 12:15 2
    - you can still buy the 20 gig ones. -- nm - Remlik Feb 17, 12:19
    - yes -- nm - Don Homer Feb 17, 12:16

      - hyde left? dammit. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 17, 12:13 10
        
        He's on Twitter daily. He really is one of my favorite people in the world. -- nm - David Feb 17, 12:19 2
        
        ssssshhhhh. I like to hog him all to msyelf on Twitter. - ty97 Feb 17, 12:20
        
        That's just because you haven't met me yet. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 17, 12:20
        
        Did he 'leave' or is he on hiatus? He tends to take breaks, and that's what makes ST work for him. - ty97 Feb 17, 12:16 3
        
        just on break AFAIK. if he left he wouldn't make a production of it, though. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 12:17 2
        
        See, this is baiting. nm - Dignan Feb 17, 12:22 1

      - self-inflicted wound, to be honest. -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 12:14 2
        
        I love Amy to death, and I hope she stays forever, but I don't think anyone *genuinely* feels that she's an honest to god alcoholic or a liar. nm - Dignan Feb 17, 12:20 1
        
        I agree with this post entirely. - Mel Profit Feb 17, 12:22

LIR: mandy - oblique, better than nubby Feb 17, 12:05 28
- I think that figuring things out in real-time is great for infrequent issues. but when two people's entire wordlviews are just completely opposed, - all the presdients love mandy lane Feb 17, 12:09 17
  - I understand. I think there are people here who I am diametrically opposed to in many ways as well. But I can talk with them here and not get myself - oblique, better than nubby Feb 17, 12:12 12
    - I think that you are less often victim to personal attacks than am I. certainly less often than is jack. if it's infrequent, again, - posting from class loves mandy lane Feb 17, 12:16 3
      - not at all. *breathes* I also, from my outside view, don't think you're being attacked as often as you think -- nm - oblique, better than nubby Feb 17, 12:18 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        not since I stopped attacking people who were prone to attacking me. -- nm - posting from class loves mandy lane Feb 17, 12:20
    - But not everyone is like you. Some people can't do that, and find it easier to avoid. - ty97 Feb 17, 12:15 7
      - I agree. If that was the case though, there wouldn't be a problem, would there? - oblique, better than nubby Feb 17, 12:16 6

        *seriously*? "be more like me" is your advice? fab. -- nm - posting from class loves mandy lane Feb 17, 12:18 2
        
        I can only suggest that maybe your way isn't working so well - oblique, better than nubby Feb 17, 12:20
        
        How is that different from "Everyone should ignore people like I do?" -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 12:18
        
        There are problems because this place is made up of humans. - ty97 Feb 17, 12:18
  - [deleted] 3
    - There's also truth to the idea that those people you hate/ignore do not share the same feelings towards you - oblique, better than nubby Feb 17, 12:15
    - You have some blinders on too sometimes. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 17, 12:14 1
      - [deleted]
- The ignoring thing really comes across as childish to me. - Dignan Feb 17, 12:08 7
  - it's just easier than fighting. when every interaction devolves into childish namecalling and baiting and bitching, why bother even trying? - posting from class loves mandy lane Feb 17, 12:13 4
    - As the target of your and JD's ignoring, I'd say it has made everything far, far worse. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 12:16 3
      - ok, how about this. for a few days, every time you post something I find objectionable, cloying, or baiting, I let you know? how would that be? - posting from class loves mandy lane Feb 17, 12:19 2
        
        how about you act like an adult? -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 12:20 1
        
        How about you act like a *sane* adult? -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 12:27
  - and when you ignore it tends to shut the door forever. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 17, 12:11
  - I still have no idea why JD ignores me. hand to god. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 12:10
- I totally agree with everything in this message. -- nm - secretslacker Feb 17, 12:06 1
  - I'll use you as an example, if you don't mind. - Inigo Feb 17, 12:10
amoxy, REB2: I think it's a fear many of us shared when we moved here, but we were forced here by HSX...our board was gone. - ty97 Feb 17, 12:04 [Backboard] 9
- honestly, this board seems more civil than the hsx board was - tRuMaN Feb 17, 12:07 2
  - No matter what happens, it's still better than 99.9% of message boards on the internet -- nm - Guigue Feb 17, 12:09 1
    - possibly a more truer statement has never been typed on st. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 17, 12:10
- I think we should seriously brainstorm ways to recruit new people. - Dr.Vermin Feb 17, 12:06 5
  - friends maybe, families...yikees! As it is I'm having to watch what I say as Mrs. CCC becomes FB friends with some of you people -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Feb 17, 12:15
  - My only prerequisite is that they love movies. nm - Dignan Feb 17, 12:14
  - I don't like the idea of recruiting existing friends/family at all. Stragners are what we have always thrived on. - ty97 Feb 17, 12:12 1
    - print up some business cards that only reference st, but only at a certain angle, and drop them randomly during your travels around the world. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 17, 12:13

BB: Check out the Flash TPB: Rogue War. One of my fave TPB's ever and you don't need to know much about the Flash to enjoy. -- nm - Beaker Feb 17, 12:04 8
- I would imagine the rogues as villains is the central selling point of the movie's greenlight, but it's still an innate bust as a concept. - David, envy of Bruce Campbell Feb 17, 12:07
- I especially enjoy how the last page of Legion of 3 Worlds #3 essentially negates the premise for Rogue War. -- nm - Mop Feb 17, 12:05 6
  - I'm intrigued - spoil me? -- nm - Beaker Feb 17, 12:05 5
    - spoils - Mop Feb 17, 12:07 4
      - Thats no suprise (spoilers) - eag Feb 17, 12:09
      - gah, that was Rogue's Revenge, Rogue War was a few years ago...although that is why I hate DC -- nm - Beaker Feb 17, 12:08 2
        
        Marvel does it too - eag Feb 17, 12:11 1

    - yep. I always turn the headset off. -- nm - Remlik Feb 17, 12:18
    - i usually mute the headset and just listen to the idiotic dribble that is uttered. - tRuMaN Feb 17, 12:12
- I have an hour and a half to kill between the meeting with the lawyer and real estate agent - tRuMaN Feb 17, 12:05 4
  - ooh, I hope our schedules coincide -- nm - crash davis Feb 17, 12:05 3
    - it will probably be between 5 and 6 my time, maybe a bit sooner - tRuMaN Feb 17, 12:08 2
      - I'll see if I can sneak out at four -- nm - crash davis Feb 17, 12:11 1
        
        heh. hope you dont get caught. - tRuMaN Feb 17, 12:13
Hope Amy comes back. Also, I've felt that the abscence of a collective effort to stop swearing in the subject line so that RC may participate during - Loyola Feb 17, 12:03 14
- If they were astute enough to pick up on swears in a subject, RC is better served by having it come up sooner than later. That's some serious monitor - oblique, better than nubby Feb 17, 12:06 1
  - I have to agree. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 17, 12:08
- what are you talking about? It's dropped about 1000%. -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 12:05 5
  - agreed. - Mel Profit Feb 17, 12:10 2
    - kare has also said the swearing limits her STing ability -- nm - con_carne Feb 17, 12:11 1
      - if it limits anyone it's not good. - Mel Profit Feb 17, 12:13

- What, you never saw School Ties? I've been a fan ever since. Even after sitting through Journey to the CotE. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 17, 12:04
- He had an interview in EW a couple of weeks back where he talked about the raw deal Hollywood was giving him. - Mop Feb 17, 12:04
