Taliking on ICQ with an ex-UO guildmate.  He tells me he's playing some web-based RPG thing.  I don't think anything of it, until he throws me the link.

I almost shit my pants, then I had to educate the poor boy as to the history of Glitchless.  Honestly, I had no idea this was still around.

It's hard for a company with no expenses to go out of business.  Or more correctly, you have to be in business before you can go out of business.

Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us." -SC

He browbeat me into registering an account.  I have to admit I was curious anyway.  Surely it couldn't be THAT bad.

...

I'm now 20% less sane than I was before I tried to play RWK, and the attempt only lasted one or two minutes.

Oops. Doesn't run on Safari/OSX. Tells me to use the latest IE, which for OSX is circa 2001. I  Heart "Glitchless". Or irony.

I just wanted to see if the kids are running this at the library, if they are I'll block the site for their own good. Runescape is bad enough.

there is something broken inside me that keeps me coming back to your subject line.

"a simple grammatical error", i tell myself.  "you've done it a dozen times yourself, at least", I tell myself.  And finally, "Oh, just grow up, loser".

unfortunately i don't listen to myself, and i have to ask, "what kind of steak is your sanity at, T-bone or Ribeye?  Also, which steak is more insane then the other?"

A company is at steak. It's a colloquialism of the, ehem, internet. Much like "lol." Only "steak" has a history behind it. One I've never found interesting so I'm not typing it. Just do a google search for the Online Gamers Wiki.

Fascinating.  I was just wondering the same thing about the title, but your reasoning seems to make sense.  Except look at the person who started the thread.  He is on my naughty boy list currently so I assume he made the faux pas on purpose.  I love judging people.

No Nerf, but I put a link to this very thread and I said that you all can guarantee for my purity. I even mentioned your case, and see if they can take a look at your lawn from a Michigan perspective.

much like a cowtapult, I imagine, but you're right, I don't know the history behind it.

"A company is at steak!!!!", I do know, and now I'm doubly ashamed that I not only missed teh humor, but couldn't get past "steak' in your subj. line without being a d00fus.

Most of those people got banned or stopped coming long ago.  You're supposed to pretend they don't exsist and conform, it's the cool thing to do.

Well I just heard the news today
It seems my life is going to change
I closed my eyes, begin to pray
Then tears of joy stream down my face

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open

Well I don't know if I'm ready
To be the man I have to be
I'll take a breath, I'll take her by my side
We stand in awe, we've created life

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
I'll show you everything ...oh yeah
With arms wide open..wide open

[Guitar Break]

If I had just one wish
Only one demand
I hope he's not like me
I hope he understands
That he can take this life
And hold it by the hand
And he can greet the world
With arms wide open...

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
I'll show you everything..oh yeah
With arms wide open....wide open

Plz dawnt do that.

Then again, there was the time on that site when someone criticized DAoC and Mark Jacobs got pissed and had a certain newly aquired employee shut it down, spawning like a ton of sibling sites. Or however that story went.

Interesting take.  But it was Sanya that got pissed and she haxored the site, and then mark jacobs called the power company and had the server shut down.  Lum then saved the day and hooked up a hydro-electric damn to restore the site, and reprogramed it with an AI that later went crazy and started WWIII - online. It had flying tanks.

Why did this make me picture Lum flying through the air with a cape towards the Hoover dam?

I thought that site shut down because of a rampaging gay man not paying his bills because he'd sent the money to Europe to sponser little gay children in Greenock ?

No ?

Because you are confusing Lum with the Comic Book Guy again.  I do it all the time.

What?  It was a retarded thread before this post existed and would still be retarded without it.

A nation consists of its laws. A nation does not consist of its situation at a given time. If an individual's morals are situational, then that individual is without morals. If a nation's laws are situational, that nation has no laws, and soon isn't a nation.
