- My class starts September 29. - psilotum Aug 31, 10:49

- SheFox did. I need to start studying for my next exam too. -- nm - TFox Aug 31, 10:49

- i bought pens tonight - marcel Aug 31, 10:48
NWBR is less than 10 minutes from getting skipped in Vamps, but indicated he sent out a draft card. David, you still around to check on this? - TFox Aug 31, 10:41 1
- Jim checked in with him this morning but we haven't heard back. Consider the draft paused at the moment. Give me 20 minutes. -- nm - David Aug 31, 10:42

- Did you look on eBay? (Cool project; there are still a few I haven't seen. How do you rank them all?) -- nm - Don Homer Aug 31, 10:37 7
  - [deleted] 6
    - Good stuff. I saw many of these relatively recently as well. -- nm - con_carne Aug 31, 10:43

STIS: in my office we all just got an attachment that looks like it might be a virus but we can't tell. The helpdesk has not heard of it. how can I - loosilu Aug 31, 10:22 14
- Our office firewall strips out any executable file in an email automatically (I realize this wouldn't work in every business). -- nm - pmb Aug 31, 10:37 2
  - Apparently this virus stole a pdf from my co-worker's hard drive, put a virus in it, and sent it to his address book. - loosilu Aug 31, 10:40 1
    - Wouldn't it had to have had an executable file to steal the pdf? - pmb Aug 31, 10:48
- Upload it to virustotal.com. It will scan it using just about every scanner out there and tell you the results -- nm - oblique Aug 31, 10:25 3
  - cool thanks. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 10:26 2
    - What I've done is that if virustotal picks it up, we had Gold support with Symantec and could upload the file to them - oblique Aug 31, 10:28 1
      - It's infected. thanks so much for this, I'm bookmarking it. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 10:30
- Go ahead. It's a picture of cute babies playing with kittens. -- nm - NKorea Aug 31, 10:25
- start by googling the file name -- nm - ty97 Aug 31, 10:25 1
  - I got nothing. :( -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 10:25
- I delete with extreme prejudice every email I don't recognize -- nm - con_carne Aug 31, 10:23 1
  - *stope sending con_carne nekkid pics* - 'lia Aug 31, 10:27
- click on it. - Beaker Aug 31, 10:23 1
  - some people already have, that's why I'm concerned. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 10:24
Crashing while texting and driving in Utah could get you 15 years -- (link) - oblique Aug 31, 10:22
I'd suggest Dewey Decimator as the librarian's name. -- nm - David Aug 31, 10:22
I'm disappointed that there hasn't been any post-draft grade assessments of the Blood Feud drafts. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 31, 10:17 9
- Who usually does them? Reggie? -- nm - nubby Aug 31, 10:25 2
  - JFields -- nm - amoxy Aug 31, 10:41
  - Who is Reggie? I don't think they've really been done in the past, just some are so fanatical about it I would have expected it by now. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 31, 10:37
- Me: A+ ; everyone else: epic fail. -- nm - Beaker Aug 31, 10:18 1
  - A+++++++++++++++ -- nm - Bery si Aug 31, 10:18
- so do some? -- nm - TFox Aug 31, 10:17 3
  - Where are we at with NWBR? Is the clock running? -- nm - Krusty - 2008 Vampirates Champion Aug 31, 10:18 2
    - He has 30 minutes. -- nm - TFox Aug 31, 10:19 1
      - Here's the post saying he submitted a draft card to the BF bigwigs. David, do you have this pick to post? - TFox Aug 31, 10:30 [Backboard]
Krusty, Batman spoils - Shaun Aug 31, 10:11 23
- I love the name of the trophy you get for that one. -- nm - David Aug 31, 10:16 13
  - For sure. My goal is to get the Perfect Knight. The extreme challenge rooms could be tough though. -- nm - Shaun Aug 31, 10:20 12
    - what is a perfect knight achievement? -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 31, 10:23 6
      - Not getting hit during an entire challenge (all four rounds). -- nm - David Aug 31, 10:24
      - 100% completion. -- nm - Shaun Aug 31, 10:24 4
        
        Oh, I guess I'm wrong. What's the one for not getting hit during a challenge? -- nm - David Aug 31, 10:25 3
        
        Flawless Freeflow Fighter. It also gives 5k to your score too. -- nm - Shaun Aug 31, 10:26 2
        
        No, I've gotten that combo several times. There is one for going through all four challenges untouched. -- nm - David Aug 31, 10:29 1
        
        Flawless Freeflow Fighter 10 Complete one combat challenge without taking damage -- nm - Shaun Aug 31, 10:29
    - I need to get better at the triangle counters for that to happen. -- nm - David Aug 31, 10:22 4
      - I need to get more deliberate about my button mashing. In the heat of battle I start hitting square too often for it to recognize when I hit triangle. -- nm - Ender Aug 31, 10:26 3
        
        It does a great job of punishing for overly aggressive button mashing. - David Aug 31, 10:30 1
        
        Yup, I get too excited sometimes and button mash, missing the counter and losing the combo. It's taking practice to slow down my pace and not try to - Krusty - 2008 Vampirates Champion Aug 31, 10:33
        
        Evading is more effective, imo, than countering. -- nm - Shaun Aug 31, 10:29
- Sweet! I've been using the challenge's to get better at keeping my combo's up to get more xp, that should be a good time to - Krusty - 2008 Vampirates Champion Aug 31, 10:13 8
  - my max combo in the game, not a challenge room, was 37. - tRuMaN Aug 31, 10:21 7
    - You need that 40 hit combo to get the highest combo achievement/trophy. -- nm - Shaun Aug 31, 10:22 6
      - 42 and not Titan-aided! -- nm - David Aug 31, 10:25
      - I know, I got to 36 in a challenge room. which earned me a bonus for having one free flow combo for the entire room. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 31, 10:24
      - The free-flow achievement is going to frustrate me, I know it. -- nm - Krusty - 2008 Vampirates Champion Aug 31, 10:23 3
        
        Freeflow Perfection? That was a little frustrating but I got it eventually. -- nm - Shaun Aug 31, 10:26 2
        
        Yeah. The one where you need to perform every move in one combo. -- nm - Krusty - 2008 Vampirates Champion Aug 31, 10:29 1
        
        That's the one. I've done it twice. Definitely a nice boost to the challenge score. -- nm - Shaun Aug 31, 10:30
I'm going for pizza. Hawaiian I think. -- nm - Loyola Aug 31, 10:11 12
- Huh. I figured this was an American thing. -- nm - ty97 Aug 31, 10:15 2
  - THey do it in London, along with other pizza atrocities. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 10:35
  - No sooner do I post this, then I see 'Hawaii Pizza' on the room service menu here -- nm - ty97 Aug 31, 10:24
- LAnyoneC: I have never, in all my time growing up in Hawaii, ever seen a person eat a pizza with pineapple on it. (nm) - musubi Aug 31, 10:13 7
  - good. pineapple on a pizza is just wrong. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 10:23
  - now you understand how I feel when people talk about "Canadian Bacon". -- nm - Reagen Aug 31, 10:17 3
    - "Here we just call it bacon -- nm - con_carne Aug 31, 10:19
    - I find it amusing that some of the best hawaiian pizza I've had ... had canadian bacon on it. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 31, 10:18 1
      - Panago makes the best Hawaiian pizza I've ever had. -- nm - Subversive Aug 31, 10:19
  - They're dumb. It's delicious. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 31, 10:17
  - They're smart, it's nasty. -- nm - Krusty - 2008 Vampirates Champion Aug 31, 10:16
- That is my favorite -- nm - con_carne Aug 31, 10:12

- I'm more likely to think they don't to pay the CC fees. But is does limit your ability to deal if shit goes bad. -- nm - ty97 Aug 31, 10:21
- not that uncommon here, really. - znufrii Aug 31, 10:20 1
  - [deleted]
- could be just not wanting to pay the percenatges that CC companies take, or not wanting to pay tax and insurance -- nm - zork Aug 31, 10:14
- and they want it up front, right? - decline Aug 31, 10:14
- Find a different company. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 31, 10:11 9

        Looks legit, I've never seen their trucks or heard of them but if your friend had no issues then I say support your local mobster and use them. -- nm - Krusty - 2008 Vampirates Champion Aug 31, 10:27
