Hi Folks, Long time no talk. Hey, just wanted to say the new mods are great. EXCEPT, players and admins have taken to just jumping all over everyone who goes to spec for any reason because of the new kilstreak stealing thing, threatening kicks and bans and such...calling people liars. There are a ton of reasons to go to spec, not the least of which is to avoid an AFK when you have to step away for a minute, which I thought was a formal rule if not at least an unwritten one. I sometimes do it for that. Sometimes I get lag spikes. Sometimes I spec when a hacking player is on waiting for them to leave when the server isn't full (since about 50% of the time I crash while starting the program). Please take it easy. It's very off-putting to be jumped on just for going to spec for a minute. I'm a very honest player. Was when I was in XI, still am. And I personally don't appreciate the accusations. Makes people want to play elsewhere. Hope this is taken in the friendly spirit it's intended. Shout out to the old gang! FluffyBunny

I guess I'll have to flirt with Sharpe, while my K/D ratio mathematically approaches zero. Sad times. Sad times.

Can I just say I'm having flashbacks to D&D camp right now, when that one crazy kid tried to do a girls vs. boys thing?

Happy Birthday Roxy!

Nope. Just one. :-)

I use an older Gigabyte with just an intel i7 4th generation (mediocre to antique in the i7 range) and an NVidia GTX 1080 graphics card with 8gb of dedicated ram (mediocre for a gaming machine, very good for a regular machine). I get 200 frames per second pretty consistently in COD4 at full resolution and high graphics settings. Maybe down to 120-150 on some of the more complex maps, or while I'm downloading smurf porn in the background. I think it would be about a $300-$400 machine right now used on eBay. You don't need a ton of horsepower to run COD4.

It was a joke.

Fourth Red Bush in my favorite molecule glass. First, second and third making their way through the liver as we speak. Where's that flightless bird! I need to get my flirt on.

A little surprised you were born of woman.

I'm subject to random drug testing, so I'll have to get some of my students to do that one for you. I'll offer them extra credit.

Under 2 drinks and I'm a total gentleman. Over 4 and I can't get it up anyway, so I don't bother flirting.

Delicious. The manganese gives it a perfect zing.

So I've invented the perfect drink for Call of Duty, and studied its effectiveness over the last few weeks of playing freeze tag. I share with you fine folks now the results: First, the drink. You may have to improvise some of the ingredients if you're not a chemistry/physics teacher. Also, it helps to be Irish Catholic. Irish for the genetic tolerance to alcohol, and Catholic to have the training in dealing with the guilt over things you do when you drink. The property tax bill is optional. But it helps in developing the proper level of anger to maximize in-game motivation to kill people. You start by taking a tumbler glass that you just tried to make a vodka martini in but then dumped out when you realized you don't have any olives. Don't clean it. Take three shots of very good bourbon and pour over ice that's been in the freezer since the first Obama administration. Put a teaspoon of sugar in. Then two shots of bitters that have been in your cabinet for at least a year. Go to the fridge to find a lemon to rind so you can finish the old-fashioned you're trying to make, and realize you don't have any. Remember you've never had any, because you don't like lemons. Grab some orange preserves instead and, using your pinky finger as a measuring device, put the end of one finger of the preserves into the tumbler. Then a shot of Irish Whisky, to honor the ancestors. Then another shot of Irish Whisky for flavor. Stir with your pointer finger, before realizing that you haven't washed your hands since setting up a chemistry lab that uses lead and manganese compounds. Set it on top of your incredibly absurd property tax bill as a coaster, which is in turn on top of the four hours of work you have to do before class tomorrow but won't bother starting until the drink is gone. Enjoy. I named it the Dirty Old Fashioned Inbred Irishman, after myself. And attached is the summary of data I've collected on the efficacy of this beverage in game, along with some anecdotal commentary on some recurring patterns I've noticed while collecting data.
