Title: Hullo there
Post by: J.F.K. on February 21, 2003, 08:06:58 pm: Hi, I guess I must be new here, you can call me Jack.

I come from Sydney/Australia, a guy named Eddie (he had some other nick starting with S but I can't remember it) told me to come here 'cos I was interested with this game called FreeSpace 2 he lent to me.

So, uhhh, howdy everyone :)

Exits are to your right and left, and flamethrowers are under your seat. Be careful, though, as they are sometimes filled with water. If this is the case, try to club someone with the non-working shotguns in the weapon closet. Also, be careful while wandering the ventilation shafts. If you see a large, six-legged creature that looks really pissed, give him a piece of your lunch and he'll hopefully go away. In the event of an emergency, you can and will be used as a flotation device. Stay out of the admin's closets, and don't touch my stuff. It's not very atomically stable, you see;)

I personally think it's pretty poor on Bush's part - the UN is irrelevant if they agree and irrelevant if they disagree with his requests.

Not really... well, unless you count the funnel web spiders, they can be nasty if you run into their dens. :shaking:

Hey Bobboau, Setekh told me he used to work here, but I didn't know he was that important... or are you joking? :confused:

:o No kidding? You never would have guessed from what he's like in real life. I just thought he played lots of games.
Title: Hullo there
Post by: Bobboau on February 22, 2003, 01:50:14 am: he was one of the founder's of HLP, his work is probly one of the most important in keeping the comunity alive over the last year and a half

note that his name, Setekh, is the same as the vasudan AWACS craft hense all the "vision" and "guiding light" stuff, but he realy was (is) one of the most important members of our strange little world
Title: Hullo there
Post by: Turnsky on February 22, 2003, 02:10:15 am: not only that, but his work at the Hard Light Array (http://www.3dap.com/hlp/hosted/array/) is pretty impressive

Post by: Stryke 9 on February 22, 2003, 05:47:51 pm: I don't need to. I've known what Weebl and Bob was for more than a year, and merely reminding me of that crappy, crappy "joke" site is enough to incur my wrath.

Before that thing, I thought stupid humor couldn't sink lower than Pauly Shore, and thusly only hated him and his fanbase for giving a bad name to my species. Now I just hate humanity in general for same, 'cos the mere fact that there could be something this dumb demonstrates that we're only substantially WORSE off than we were swinging from trees and getting eaten by the occasional jaguar.
