My wife works in a pet store and told me that hamsters are the meanest and most violent creatures she has to deal with. Since "Hamster" is usually taken I appended "mk 4" to my user names after the Supermarine Spitfire Mark 4. When I signed up there was some bug that prevented me from putting numbers, spaces, or underscores in the name so I went with HamsterIV instead. Also having a four at the end of my name allows me to make up extravagant lies about what happened to the three Hamsters which came before me.

HamsterI died choking a boa constrictor to death, from the inside.
HamsterII was participating in a goldfish burial at sea when he fell into the vortex and was sucked to his doom.
HamsterIII was carried off by an owl, his remnants were found next to the dead bodies of three owl chicks.

A very likely story...



I had to get a new ID today and this was on the desk.

I'm pretty sure that's a direct quote, correct in every aspect.

Thanks, Morblitz. I was only elated for a minute earlier and pretty quickly after I felt kind of terrible for having beaten you guys. I think of you all as great friends and felt sad for your loss. In the end I know that's kind of silly, we're all still ducks. We go back and forth like this and that's part of what makes us great.

That match was insanely tense! Thanks to all of you, Paddling!

I just wanted to stop by and say great showing today, guys. That hiatus for OVW's emergency situation was a really stand-up thing to do.

the hwacha, a korean multi-rocket launcher that sends 20 explosive darts toward your target. It’s an absolute blast to fire, and watching a dozen explosions blossom on your target’s hull is really gratifying.

Ahh I guess not.

I laughed at this.

It's a complicated game that a lot of reviewers and new players don't seem to get. It's easy to jump into any role but takes a lot of practice and thought to perfect them, as you've said. I don't believe that most reviewers will invest that kind of time into a game. Muse did a great thing by including tutorials, I think, but it seems like many people don't have the patience for them.

Savage Continent: Europe in the Aftermath of WWII by Keith Lowe. I'm not very far into it yet but I find it really fascinating.

Persists to be awesome! Thanks for migrating over, Redgrave. I can't wait to see the finished pilot.

Something weird happened with my quote up there, haha.

It did suck not being able to scrim with you guys for this week though, haha.

Yeah, that's felt really weird. No scrims and instantly hopping out of your teamspeak channel so it doesn't look like I'm eavesdropping. The segregation can now end! (At least for a week or so, then it'll be the Brood/Paddling separation)

Great match today, Brood. I was impressed all around.

ETA: Paddling too, of course.
