Small world. My dad is a city planner and has always loved the SimCity games. He even bought SimCity:Societies (shudder!). I remember him explaining NIMBYs to me with the original SimCity on my grandmother's Macintosh Classic. I think I most enjoyed SimCity 2000 and especially liked flying...

Yay! Now you've perfectly described me haha! My labmates usually go home after work and on the weekends and read journal articles before bed... I definitely need to do something else besides science as a release or I'd go crazy! What department/field/cluster are you in? Long history of games...

There's TEST DayZ?! Awesome! That's the standalone and not the Arma mod, right? How does that work when someone dies? You coordinate a meetup at a new location through TS? I'm tempted to pick it up once I have my conference presentation out of the way. Add my ship to the drunk exploring...

How about this for an Idris paint job? Giant doge. And in giant Comic Sans: such capital

My goodness!

I agree with you on that. It wasn't worth $50, but it was certainly worth 15. Taking it as a piece of history actually finished (like Jurassic Park cloning dinosaurs), it was a treat. A re-hash of macho one liners and pop culture references. Expecting a hardcore shooter like 3D, you'd be...

And both of those are better than "was a cooch." (Which is what my mind interpreted when I read it). And there's of course the "cooch couch."

That sounds like a rough week! Glad you made it through though! How common/well received is gaming among your fellow service people? I wasn't sure if that's something you'd talk about. I'm just curious. My close friends in grad school are all gamers, but I've met some of people who are pretty...

I will definitely be down for Minecraft. Heck I'll play minecraft even when it's not saturday, haha! ;P I think you'd have to come up with a specific and weird objective to complete during the time.

"Now, son, when the dancing lady offers to give you a personal show what do you do?" "Hand her the money politely and say "'Shake it, baby!'" "That's right, son! Good job!" Sounds like an awesome memory! My dad introduced me to Civilization 2. He's always been an RTS and Turn Based fan. Since...

I'm guessing if you were in logistics and industry you didn't do a whole lot of flying of big ships? I'm really fascinating reading about EVE, but I know I don't have the free time to play it. I'd love to hear about your experiences! I currently work 70-80 hours a week in lab as a grad student...

Since I've been ousted as a cartoon, I'm also motioning that if there's any public local voice chat, we play some background Sonic music while we unleash the Aurora fleet. GOTTA GO FAST ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!

Nice. Did you pick up an Aurora recently through trades? I've just got one ship at the moment. My friends thought I was crazy for pledging at all. I've run across a lot of people in TEST with multiple ships. I think with our variety we'll be able to do some really fun and cool stuff! That's...

It's certainly a useful skill to have. Sounds like a really awesome hobby and a good balance of performance and getting your money's worth!

Did you have several savegames with different roles (like a pirate faction friendly save)? I think I had one save with that big transport ship to smuggle illegal goods. That will pale in comparison to your Banu MM though, haha! I definitely look forward to running trading missions/blockade...

I heard Crusader Kings 2 was pretty open and fun as far as your diplomacy. Read several entertaining threads about someone systematically assassinating/murdering all their male children heirs and the game congratulating them for doing a good job of maintain order in the kingdom. Apart from...

I'm not going to deny that allegation. Be right back. I have to take care of a little business.

That's funny, because I painted the nose of a ship on my naked lady.

Think of it as immersion training for the cold dead touch of space? I know there are places that got hit a lot worse than Michigan. It's the coldest winter I've experienced so far in 5 years. I'm just really glad I wasn't in Atlanta for Polar Vortex 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Science department reporting again. We've scheduled a new priority for Starlet robots, to recreate the hotties of the late 20th and early 21st century. We hope to have Jennifer Lawrence in alpha soon. She'll appear flawless on the outside, will be able to speak, and will have access to the...
