OK then...no trembeling this time around, we're jumpin in head first baby!

Screen resolutions. Dude...if you're running a computer where you play lots of games and your monitor is set to 640x480 screen resolution...you suck. Seriously...now a days people run their monitors at _at least_ 800x600 especially if they're on the computer they play games on.... If you're wondering why you visit all these gaming websites and then they're stuff doesn't come in right or just looks crappy...you can't see the whole navigation bar or you have to keep scrolling back and forth to just read this sentence...this is the reason...640x480 or lower and you suck for doing it. I can cut some slack for people running on a Commodore 64 (a completely different rant there) or if your computer has a speedy processor speed of 2mHz (speedy in 1912) and you can't cut a 800x600. Or maybe if you're monitor is 2" anyway...you need to be running a lower resolution...and you also need to not be visiting websites, you shouldn't have even wasted the money to put a modem in that computer. SO...get that resolution up or I will smack you personally. And don't email me saying blah this blah that, computers are expensive...please...you can get a 350mHz processor speeded computer filled with the good stuff for less that $1000. My roommate did it...his computer is a pimp now, he spent $950 on it...and its a pimp... I know, $950 is a lot of money, don't get me wrong, I know this...I'm in college...I would be ecstatic if I even had $9.50 in my pocket...hell, I'd be happy if I had $1 in my pocket! But look at me...I still have a decent computer...it runs FreeSpace decently and that's all I need to make me happy... And by next year this time, that $950 computer will be about $350...so there. You will be able to get a nice computer someday, but until then, don't complain about not being able to see Planet F...cough cough...i mean, a website well when it blatantly says best viewed in 800x600...so there.

Also...what's with the PyroPimps always jokin on Planet Descent? Now...don't get me wrong, I'm not gonna take PD's back just cuz they host PFS (we're pimps...they had no choice...). But seriously, I wanna know what went down. It would be cool if someone for PPimps and someone from PD would mail me giving me two different sides of the story so I can make my own judgement and then not tell anyone what it is. Yeah...I really see that happening...pfft! Someone surprise me please...

OK...I think I said this on the show me and Ice did a while ago, but I have like 15 rants on my hard drive (unposted of course!). Unposted because they were crappy and I needed to make a reputation of only high quality stuff. Maybe if I get tons of emails asking for me to put them up...I will...just maybe...dream about it. Also...I'd like to take this opportunity (which can never be stolen from me, heh) to reiterate that we are going to hunt down Ice-Wolf and smack him with a stick, a Ho Stick (tm, Nathan Camarillo and Wal-Mart) of course, cuz he's a wanna be IceFire and WildWolf guy. He's got the best of both worlds. IceFire's power and super skillz and WildWolf's crazy stylez, so what's up now. We're going to smack him over the head with said stick...twice... (For those who don't know, he's been making a few posts over at the FS forum, and I don't really hate him, even tho I'm still going to smack him with a stick.).

OK, here we go. Interplay is a bunch of chumps. Why do they have to deny Volition's speakage of FS2 until April 6th (which I haven't heard a damn thing about this chat from Interplay or Volition...is this thing still going on? Someone let me know or announce the stuff dammit!)? They just put the smack down. Why are they not letting them speak about it? I mean...geez...its like...6 freakin days away...it was less than a month away when Dynamo held his pimping chat (where I got kicked 3 times...so there!), why couldn't they talk about it there? I mean...the only _real_ thing that's going to change is time, and I think after _nothing_ was said about FS2 (except how much V wanted to talk about it) Interplay can pretty much trust Volition to not go too far. I can understand some sort of marketing or some crap, but the only people to really go to the Dynamo chat were true FS fans, the ones that never left the community. I'm sure Interplay wanted to make sure and keep the smack down for the chat where its all said, but screw that...Maybe they wanted to have a bigger audience, but screw that too. Like us fanboys are really just not gonna show up...PFFT!!!!! I would like to make a hand gesture to Interplay's marketing screwballs right now, but I'll keep that to myself...since noone could see it anyway...(WaterStar would like to show them what a real full moon is made of) I guess that's the way the 'game' is played (no...not talking about FreeSpace here...the marketing game) and I don't know much 'bout that...I'm just a lowly college programming psycho boy... Also...where the hell is my free copy of Silent Threat!?!?!?! I mean sh...uh...dang...its been almost 6 months...everyone has they're copy but me! I won the friggin thing too! I even emailed the web dude at Interplay...twice! Gave him my address...3 times!! Dude...this sucks...can they not figure out how to put ST into a box and place it into the happy UPS guys hands? Geez...if anyone wants to show the love and help a man out...I apparently can't get anywhere on my own...I'm hopeless ::sniff:: (Thanks to WaterStar for coming up with the Interplay topic)

Show the love baby!
