Next Friday night, April 16, 2004, there will be drunken gaming at my house. I have not yet okayed this with the roommates, so if any of them have any understandable objections, we’ll reschedule. However, tentatively, I have four confirmed nerds (guys at work) who wish to kill each other. If anyone else out there would like to join us, you’re welcome as all hell. Let me know.

Mason went so long without updating the Joke Analysis that I stopped checking for new ones regularly. I just checked today, only to discover that he has been shitcanned.
That really sucks. The joke analysis was really the only part of NL I still read religiously. I hope he gets a new gig somewhere. My favorite [...]
After many hours of battle, I have defeated the Dark Side once again, er, beaten Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. Don’t fuck with the Rodian with the green and purple lightsabers.

We need to do some calculating to see just [...]

Just before he landed, he used one fist to throw another blue fireball at the ground. He didn’t hurt anybody, [...]
“Hi Farris!”
Yesterday we went to Dave & Buster?s for the good reverend?s birthday gathering. I told myself, ?Self, don?t play any games that you can play for free at home.?
Yeah, right. I headed straight for the Street Fighter II machine.
When I got home around 11:45, I needed to study for the two exams I have [...]
I need suggestions. We need a PCI video card for our projector machine. The machine is a P4, 2GHz. The AGP slot is screwed up. Somehow it was put on the motherboard backward. We don’t know if this was a factory fuckup or part of some proprietary measures or what. We do know that the [...]
Marble Madness 2003, a UT mod.
John Williams is not destroyed, just extremely disorganized at the moment. I added some of the more frequently used shortcuts back to the desktop so that casual users can still play their random arcade games and hardcore user(s) can still play their (his) Tetris without too much searching around.
Two odd problems have arisen. The VNC [...]
