      Why?

      Obloga Obama Blog[^] Diet, injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very early age to produce the sort of character and sort of beliefs that authorities consider desirable. Any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible.

            What have you done today to make your life better tomorrow? Obsessing over things you can't control isn't productive.

                I like screwing around with gravity and elastic collisions myself. Nothing like making npcs fly across a room when the pc bumps into them. Is your current opus a 3D game? I'm considering picking the banner back up on a project I droped a few years ago. But, as you know 3D games can be complex and time consuming for a small team. I did some prototyping with these guys[^] but their gear was far from ready for prime time when we started some of the work.

                      They're very good at psycho warfare so all you'd have to teach them is the "logical" part. That might be difficult, though. . .

                        Nope. I don't enjoy those enough to be any good at designing 'em, and couldn't help program 'em worth spit. Tick-based MMPOLRPG is what I enjoy and what I do. To give you an idea, sometimes when I need to take a break, I'll run up a quick game of 1-player Civilization. :)

                                    damn, made me hit the dictionary. fyi - similar an onager (and I use this for a personalized license plate, but for the "wild ass" definition).

                                      Nope. I don't enjoy those enough to be any good at designing 'em, and couldn't help program 'em worth spit. Tick-based MMPOLRPG is what I enjoy and what I do. To give you an idea, sometimes when I need to take a break, I'll run up a quick game of 1-player Civilization. :)

                                        Of course when they don't get it, they try all the harder to get a rise out of us. You're staying :cool: and that's great!

                                          Yes, it's true. I think about how my actions affect others well being, instead of just doing what amuses me. I'm sorry, I keep basing my life on that Palestinian communist you hate so much.
