26568 I see... Look around for more gas stations if you can? :huh: ~D. V. "Don't want you out of gas either..." Devnull

26570 Just don't land up fired because you wanted/needed a rest, okay? ;) ~D. V. "Wouldn't want trouble happening..." Devnull

26572 ... -.- ... ~D. V. Devnull

26574 Does anyone here even feel like discussing anything anymore, or even having a laugh over something? :huh: ~D. V. "It just feels too empty and quiet here." Devnull

Welcome to the Tip.It (aka: Rune Tips) Community, @Tuggy. Please enjoy your stay, watch out for the lunatics, and come play in the Forum Games! Yes, of course, don't forget to check the rest of things out... LOL! ~D. V. "My siggy's out-of-date..." Devnull

Uhm... <*pokes Gandalf with a lemon*> ... you're 30K off? :blink: 26578 ~D. V. "Stopping the monkey wrench..." Devnull

26582 Anyone here ever had a morning reminiscent of "xkcd: Phone Alarm" @ http://m.xkcd.com/1359/ ??? (Image at that page can be both floated on and clicked for alt-text, BTW.) ~D. V. "I'd call it a bad situation to be in." Devnull

26584 Another horrible moment in comic history... 'Getting carried by the pants by a dinosaur' in B.C. @ http://www.gocomics.com/bc/2014/04/22 ... Could you imagine if that was more like a T-Rex instead of something like a Velociraptor? :ohnoes: ~D. V. "I wouldn't want to be that guy." Devnull

Have you tried making it save the edits on your viewing configuration, that is, when you get it popped out of the bad states? ~D. V. "wondering if that would help" Devnull

26591 If only real life was like a Wizard Of Id comic @ http://www.gocomics.com/wizardofid/2014/04/18 where taking medicine didn't have awful side effects. Wouldn't that be nice? :geek: ~D. V. "It sure would beat the pants off current reality..." Devnull

Welcome to the Tip.It (aka: Rune Tips) Community, @Estkor. Please enjoy your stay, watch out for the lunatics, and come play in the Forum Games! Yes, of course, don't forget to check the rest of things out... LOL! BTW, the folks of this community are usually referred to as "Tip.It'ers", spoken without the punctuation which I've displayed here to know where to give emphasis. Feel free to holler "HYT!" on the chat line in your favorite spots, and some of us nearby to you in-game may holler back. :thumbsup: ~D. V. "My siggy's out-of-date..." Devnull

From what I've understood, there are many. The most well-known of all the existing games depending on GameSpy's list servers is the original "Unreal Tournament" (UT'99), which is still going right now at over 600 servers as viewed by GameTracker ( http://www.gametracker.com/search/ut/?searchipp=50#search), and there are likely many more not listed that are active. There's also its' family-friendly child, "Nerf ArenaBlast", which also depends on the same server list system as UT'99. You can also add in Electronic Arts' "Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2", the sixth game ever released in the NFS series. I'm sure the list goes on, but I'll leave it to you to seek a longer listing of games if you wish. ~Mr. D. V. "I'm not going to get stuck in a long list right now." Devnull

So I was checking something else on the web, and ran afoul of this... Gamasutra - GameSpy ceasing all hosted services this May (http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/214700/GameSpy_ceasing_all_hosted_services_this_May.php) ...and this... Gamasutra - Devs, gamers angry over Glu's handling of GameSpy Technology (http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/183309/Devs_gamers_angry_over_Glus_handling_of_GameSpy_Technology.php) ...and realized that every game out there that depends on the GameSpy MultiPlayer List Servers will be rendered unable to get players into multiplayer game rounds soon. A technology that's been around about 16 years (at least as far as I know), and now all of us gamers out there are about to have the metaphorical floor ripped out from under us. Maybe I'm crazy, but we didn't deserve to have this happen to us because a bunch of developers didn't pay their bills? And heck, what happened to advert support on the GameSpy websites handling server costs? At least, that's what I used to think was keeping them running. Oh well... There goes the ability for some games I play to be useful for anything more than single player. Yeah, discuss, obviously... ~Mr. D. V. "Tripping across the bomb-droppers..." Devnull (p.s.: I know I'm going to miss them, what about the rest of you?)

<*pulls a rope and dumps a bucket of cannonballs on @Matt258 for messing up things back at page 170, post 3386*> I feel more like I should have loaded them in a chaingun, but the image of a heap on top of someone is at least funny. Now... we should be at... 26598 ~D. V. "Ammo Dump!" Devnull
