[ Quake 3 Done! ]
Update. 10 minutes after posting my previous comment above I employed the strategy I described and beat Xaero on Nightmare. With a score like 10 - 0.
Now if all the other tiers and levels weren't so challenging and time consuming on Nightmare.... |

[ Quake 3 Done! ]
Just beat Quake 3 on Hardcore about two days ago. Was real pumped when I found out it was actually possible to beat Xaero.
I tried to tackle Nightmare from the beginning, but realized I might need to be sick with Mono for about 2 more weeks if I want to beat that too.
I wanted to note a fault about Xaero on Hardcore that I'm hoping will work on the Nightmare difficulty. - In addition to hiding behind pillars and using the rocket launcher to shoot him before he sees you, set yourself up in a position where you can see if he takes the OTHER jump pad to the BFG platform as well. If you notice that he takes that jump pad to engage you instead, just shoot down the red target with a railgun or machine gun. After he gets squished, set yourself up in position again, and wait for him to jump to either the BFG or your pillar area. This strategy will ALWAYS work since if you wait behind the pillar, Xaero will jump to the BFG platform enough times that you can KEEP causing him to commit suicide and ultimately negate any of his kill count. Thus, after following these patterns, you will slowly but surely hit 10 kills while Xaero squishes himself into a loss.
Patience is a virtue.
This forum fuckin kick ass by the way. Long live Quake III.

[ Bathroom? Mushroom! ]
About a week or two ago we had lots of mushrooms growing outside our garage where the lawn tractor jumped the hose and ran for who knows how long. Anyway, they started looking like golf balls, then grew and grew into what looked like butts (basketball size) I took a picture of them because they were so funny. Anyway, went into the master bathroom tonight and freaked out! This morning I saw what looked like a Qtip sticking out of the wall between shower and vanity. I thought my husband was repairing a small hole that had been there for a while. Anyway, tonight it's grown and I now recognize it as a mushroom. Gross!!!! I hope by morning I don't have a big ol butt sticking out of my wall mooning me when I walk in! |

Wowei, omg, I found this now, 2 month later, I'm so sorry! Thanx for trying "so badly" to congratulate, that's just sweet. And I feel honored! |

ummm, defeating the computers, i meant.
congrats, your highness! |

Please Tom, do something against the eternally occuring disk-space problems of your server. It even didn't allow uploading a comment.
And I so badly wanted to congratulate Kirima for defending the computers. |

I'm not desperate for Tom 7 material enough to listen to that. Sorry! You SHOULD make another album-a-day, though. |

Can we get all episodes on dvd or tape? |

I know, that was the purpose of the parenthetical and the scare quotes around "supposed." Even among the arch prescriptivists on the usage panel, only a mere 35% reject that usage. |
| |
"Comprise" in the sense of "to form or constitute" has been common since the late 18C (according to http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/comprise), so unless you count yourself an arch-prescriptivist no policing is warranted.

G: Well, I'd answer no because I don't have a map. |

Ummm, hello! She's from SOUTH Carolina. Did you not have a map or something? South Carolina is South of North Carolina like such as. |

You've got to love this "1 out of 5 Americans" statistic. Is there anything that 1 out of 5 Americans cannot claim to do?
Sadly, Aimee Teegarden did not cite her sources, and I can't find which "recent polls" she is talking about. But I did find this one, which surveyed Americans, age 18-24, as well as young people from several other countries:
http://archives.cnn.com/2002/EDUCATION/11/20/geography.quiz/
This has the number of Americans that can't find the US on a world map at 11%. The same percentage supposedly can't find CA and TX. My question is this: what would you do if you were 18 and filling out some survey that asked you to identify YOUR OWN COUNTRY on a map? |

[ BAD SAT SCORES ]
Well my kid just took her ACTs for the third time, and got a 17 out of 36 again. Yes, she read through a (different) study guide each time, and yes, she took an ACT course, and yes, she took practice tests. She tends to get anxiety with migraines with prolonged reading, but she's in AP calculus, AP physics and Honors English and she's in 11th grade, so she is getting an education. No, she's not the sharpest tool in the shed, but neither is she unusually dull. She will take the ACT again as many times as she needs to, in order to get the 20 out of 36 she needs for her college major, but she is not all whiny and pathetic like you young fools on this board. Neither are her parents. We know she will go to a solid third tier Missouri state college from home - the price is right and the education good - she will graduate debt free, and she have the remainder of her college fund for a downpayment on a house when she graduates. What is wrong with you folks that you are so bent out of shape over a lousy test??? Heck, her little sister, who does test well, plans to go to the same state college from home, so as to be able to have her college funds also stretch to cover a house. Let me tell you, they wouldn't stretch to cover a house if my kids were dumb enough to want to go to Harvard. Why all this angst and tears? I expect my kids to do just fine in life! You idiots actually seem to believe the nonsense the first tier colleges put out about how you have to go $200,000 in debt for THEIR college in order to have a good life. Nope. No way. Nothing like having the diploma, having the skills, having the cash, and being debt free to have a good start in life. You shouldn't need AP Calculus to figure that one out. |

[ Map of Third Earth ]
im pretty sure that this map came with some of the action figures... so it's not going to be exact in every way, it's just a cool map for kids who didnt think about little details like in episode #x they said the exact location of bla was on the northern bla. It's still a pretty cool map though |
| |
I'm so happy to know that my husband and I are not alone. However, our mushrooms are growing on the wood beams on the basement ceiling under the toliet area. I was soooo freaked out when I saw them about 3 weeks ago. I guess I'l spray Lysol and get a dehumidifier as well, as we too have two small children (2 and 4) and I'll contact our insurance company as one woman posted. I pray that we all have inexpensive success with our problems. |

After listening to our illegal copy for so long, I actually went out and bought the Sunlandic Twins. That's how much I like. |

In fact I was actually referring to Super Brain Panic!! when I said I already had some of those songs, I didn't see the new ones were on there too until I listened to them and saw them on my profile.
Also,
"You can be the first person to write a journal about robots sexing each other. Neat."
Neat indeed. |
