OK, as usual, you're all trembling and nervous in your seats and all that enjoyable stuff, so lets begin...

It would appear that FS2 has reached the point where everyone lets everyone else know all about their wishlist items from FS1, and that's all they are, wishlist items. Some people will try and trick you though, saying its an FS2 'idea', but they're just lying, its all about the wishlist. I will even admit, while damn near every one of these 'idea' messages I get in the FDL gets on my nerves immensely, there are a few worthy ideas - no, no, wishlist items. Sorry, apparently there was a Skink in the room, and it looks like he's flummoxing me. These items deserve to hit Volition's 'official' (official in the sense that its in their office) wishlist, near the top preferably. But most of these aren't too good, while they still deserve a small amount of attention from Volition, they don't deserve much more (they would preferably hit the bottom of the wishlist). But what about the middle of Volition's wishlist? Well, this is where I would just put a bunch of filler items. i.e. Put the name WildWolf in FS2 at least six times (hey! That's a good wishlist item!) or something about flummoxing a Skink. We might as well make an entire new mailing list for FS2 wishlist items, would save people a lot time who want to get to the more pertinent messages that are actually FRED development questions. But we'll leave that up to Heiko...after all, he is the man...lets not forget about Heiko's manness. OK, enough of Heiko :)

While I'm ranting, I'd like to input an early warning to people who didn't make the FS2 beta team. Don't ask the beta testers anything about FS2, please, you will save everyone a lot of time especially since they were forced to sign documents containing the word 'behead' several times. So, don't mail any beta tester you know of asking about the game, we don't want to see any heads rolling, especially if they get close to you..ewww...

OK, now onto the Descent FreeSpace message board....its dead :( FDL has basically become the way to communicate with any other FS player. This is actually unfortunate, since in the board's hayday it was the man, but most conversations have moved to the FDL. So someone needs to make it live again...it needs some CPR or something. I dunno...maybe it would be better to wait until FS2 would be more on the horizon and the conversations would increase anyway. Its kind of the FS nil zone right now, I'm sure it will come back tho! Look for it!

Why did my Lab TA chumps decide to flummox me? They chump-like wrote the lab manual. In one paragraph here they are talking about the book, read this, read that, blah blah blah. Then in the next chapter they're talking about looking in Appendix A to find the needed assembly crap instructions, so, me being the guy who thinks he's up with ya, looked in Appendix A in the book...but what's this? Nothing about SRC? Only digital logic? Well...needless to say, I was totally flummoxed. About an hour before the lab was due (it took me actually 2 and a half hours to write the stuff) I discovered that the lab manual has an Appendix A. (!!!!!!!!!!) What's this? The first thing they talk about is the stupid I/O instructions!!!!!!! DAMN! You haven't seen anyone write an assembly language program like I wrote that one...my fingers were tied in knots when I was done speedily typing this program...no no...this crap. Chumps. (sorry...I really have nothing against assembly language (well, ok, I do, it sucks:) but I was just extremely pissed off, so I choose to use harsh words towards..everything..)

Ok, what's up with the word chump? I think I am the ultimate chump (no, wait, that's Natrius) for using the word chump so much. So, everyone, when you write me an email or say something to me, call me a chump, it will make me feel a lot better and will just improve the quality of my life, thank you.

Hmm...what else can I talk about...erm...hmm....uh....um...er...uhm...erm...hmm....uh....um...er...uhm...erm...hmm....uh....um...er...uhm...
erm...hmm....uh....um...er...uhm...erm...hmm....uh....um...er...uhm...erm...hmm....uh....um...er...uhm...
erm...hmm....uh....um...er...uhm...erm...hmm....uh....um...er...uhm...erm...hmm....uh....um...er...uhm...
erm...hmm....uh....um...er...uhm...erm...hmm....uh....um...er...uhm...erm...hmm....uh....um...er...uhm...
erm...hmm....uh....um...er...uhm...erm...hmm....uh....um...er...uhm...erm...hmm....uh....um...er...uhm...
erm...hmm....uh....um...er...uhm...erm...hmm....uh....um...er...uhm...(this sucks doesn't it?)

OK, lets talk about why I suck. I suck because...well..mainly because I use the word chump so much. I also suck because I make fun of people who swing their arms too much when they walk (I'm talking waaayyy too much here). I also suck because I make fun of said people when they swing their arms too much and knock some poor sap out that was walking behind them. I think these people are a sole destruction force and they could take over the world at any time. They could take out 50 people just walking down the street without even trying hard. Watch for them, they are really aliens tying to take over the world! AHH!!

Ok...done...bye...
