Wowzers! Title: Re: I'm goin' to the Hardware Store! Post by: bhodi on July 26, 2006, 11:57:22 AM Damn, that is cool. My favorite was the guild chatter. It made me laugh.
That's definately got a higher production value than your average fan-movie. Title: Re: I'm goin' to the Hardware Store! Post by: Mesozoic on July 27, 2006, 12:32:26 PM I lol'ed, thanks.

Title: Re: I'm goin' to the Hardware Store! Post by: Jayce on July 29, 2006, 11:23:34 AM It was shot on an EU server. Can any euros that post here deny or confirm that the name is different there?
Title: Re: I'm goin' to the Hardware Store! Post by: Tale on July 29, 2006, 08:16:46 PM I'm pretty sure it's called Gadgetzan everywhere, except in the minds of people who use "then" instead of "than". Lots of misspellings like this get used in-game and spread like wildfire because people subconsciously copy what their peers say. The map on the EU website has Gadgetzan.

The Name is the Same. It was a typo mistake. So fucking what ? The Video beats my balls into hilarious submission. Cut them some Slack. I do, however, feel sorry for their friend, who they put in the newspaper 'ninja's another epic' which apparently he got grief for in game because people thought it was true. It was just a wee joke. Heh. Title: Re: I'm goin' to the Hardware Store! Post by: Tale on July 30, 2006, 06:07:20 AM It's aw Wierd Al-obsessive shite, ya big jessie.

The Name is the Same. It was a typo mistake. So fucking what ? Weird. I have never seen that particular misspelling. But then on my server no one ever calls it "Living Strath", it's UD and SC strath. I think every server must have its own subdialects to some extent. Title: Re: I'm goin' to the Hardware Store! Post by: bhodi on July 31, 2006, 07:30:26 AM weird, it's strat live and strat dead on my server. ST is sunken temple.
Title: Re: I'm goin' to the Hardware Store! Post by: Phred on July 31, 2006, 09:05:50 AM weird, it's strat live and strat dead on my server. ST is sunken temple. Ya same on my server (Cenarius) Dead strat is typically advertised as a baron run though. Title: Re: I'm goin' to the Hardware Store! Post by: Ironwood on August 01, 2006, 06:19:09 AM I'd just like to reiterate how fantastic this movie is.
Title: Re: I'm goin' to the Hardware Store! Post by: bhodi on August 01, 2006, 06:20:04 AM I have a cohort ready and I think we're going to spam guildchat tonight. I'll let you know if we're still in the guild tommorow :)
Title: Re: I'm goin' to the Hardware Store! Post by: SurfD on August 02, 2006, 03:04:01 AM weird, it's strat live and strat dead on my server. ST is sunken temple. Ya same on my server (Cenarius) Dead strat is typically advertised as a baron run though. On Tich it is usually Scarlet Strath and UD Strath, and a Baron run means a 45 minute timer-attack run for someone's .5 quest armor event. Title: Re: I'm goin' to the Hardware Store! Post by: sigil on August 03, 2006, 12:19:24 PM I'd just like to reiterate how fantastic this movie is. Agreed.Thanks for the link. Title: Re: I'm goin' to the Hardware Store!

Title: Re: I'm goin' to the Hardware Store! Post by: Lantyssa on August 04, 2006, 01:29:52 PM I always feel like poor Kate.
Title: Re: I'm goin' to the Hardware Store! Post by: Typhon on August 04, 2006, 02:49:53 PM why you think the web was born?!
Title: Re: I'm goin' to the Hardware Store! Post by: Lantyssa on August 04, 2006, 09:44:45 PM Open research with eventual military applications helping further spur its growth?
Title: Re: I'm goin' to the Hardware Store! Post by: Paelos on August 04, 2006, 11:15:05 PM Open research with eventual military applications helping further spur its growth? Yes, and the vibrator was invented to treat hysteria. Look at what made it popular, not the original intention. :-D Title: Re: I'm goin' to the Hardware Store! Post by: Lantyssa on August 05, 2006, 07:31:25 PM He asked why it was created, not what made it popular with the majority of the 12 - 65+ male demographic.
Damn Weird Al for writing catchy lyrics and someone being visually creative, though. I have to watch it for the twelfth time. Title: Re: I'm goin' to the Hardware Store! Post by: Merusk on August 05, 2006, 07:55:14 PM Yeah but he also said "web" and not "internet".
Title: Re: I'm goin' to the Hardware Store! Post by: Lantyssa on August 05, 2006, 09:31:55 PM Fine, fine. That we can blame on Mosaic then. Sheesh, what a tough crowd.
Of course the related quote, "Several million then suddenly noticed that the Web might be better than sex" becomes apropos when substituting with for than. Title: Re: I'm goin' to the Hardware Store! Post by: Righ on August 05, 2006, 10:56:10 PM Some pedant is going to point out that the web was born out of CERN, the European center for particle physics, while Mosaic was just the first graphical browser to be widely distributed, so it may as well be me. :)
Now, folks can bring up Atkinson, Brown, Nelson, Englebart, and even Vannevar Bush. Title: Re: I'm goin' to the Hardware Store! Post by: Lantyssa on August 06, 2006, 10:52:40 AM I don't mind, but only because it is you, Righ. You understand all about word play.
Title: Re: I'm goin' to the Hardware Store! Post by: Typhon on August 06, 2006, 11:06:11 AM oop! it not "web", it "net"!
"why you think the net was born?" PORN! PORN! PORN! Title: Re: I'm goin' to the Hardware Store! Post by: Azazel on August 07, 2006, 08:32:23 PM Weird. I have never seen that particular misspelling. But then on my server no one ever calls it "Living Strath", it's UD and SC strath. I think every server must have its own subdialects to some extent. This was also true for EQ1. (CAWU/NBG/etc) I'm sure that minor server-specific variations exist for names of things in most games of these types. Title: Re: I'm goin' to the Hardware Store! Post by: Xanthippe on August 08, 2006, 08:17:43 AM Yes, and the vibrator was invented to treat hysteria. And it does a damned fine job! Title: Re: I'm goin' to the Hardware Store! Post by: Ironwood on August 08, 2006, 09:14:10 AM Indeed. Since I started using one, I haven't had a single bout of hysteria.
