by Maarten Goldstein, Apr 14, 2005 5:10am PDTSo if the rumors are right the Xbox 360 (ugh) is white (double ugh). What's wrong with the current colors? Of course it's not a huge thing but I'm just really not fond of platinum white. Also, peanuts. Movie: Dude, everyone's dead. Your mom's dead, your brother's dead, the fat chick at Dairy Queen... dead.

I slaughtered every NPC in the place at least once, and killed many guards. Gave quite a few ~lv20-40 Alliance PCs a taste of what it means to be on a PvP server.
I love being a rogue. I love stealth, I love distract, I love stabbing, I love crippling poison, I love blade flurry, I love adrenaline rush, and I love vanish. I think I'll marry it all, then spend the honeymoon murdering Alliance.

The new server is on a FEDEX vehicle for delivery to hirez sometime today. I should have it up and running at the latest tomorrow evening so it is on for Sunday. I want to get a few people on Saturday as well to feel the server out and get a good idea of how good the connection is going to be.
Lets try to hit 64 meat popsicles at some point on Sunday.
The server specs are:
Pentium4 3GHz 1MB L2 cache w/ HT Enabled
2GB PC3200 Memory
Intel built 875 chipset board
Adaptec 39160 SCSI controller
Seagate Cheetah 10K 36GB SCSI Disk
Gentoo Linux is the OS of choice.

I'm currently looking for a video card, nothing too fancy, I don't plan on playing doom3 or hl2 or any of the new games coming out, just sticking with Savage / HL:NS / possibly bf1942 if I decide to upgrade my ram from 256 ddr2 to 512.
The one requirement is that is has to be PCI. I'm looking for the best card for cheap (of course). I don't really know whats a good deal these days for video cards. And I'm not really looking to spend over 60/70 dollars.

Mainly rogue menz. This should probably should hit the rogue boards only, but here goes.
For those knowledgeable rogues out there, what is the best setup for High DPS weapons vs High damage weapons.
Ie. If you ahve a sword that ahas a maximum of 100 (dps 30)and a dagger with the lower damage but a higher dps of about 45 which hand goes wehre?
I heard that high damage stuff goes in main hand and high dps goes in off hand. Or is it the other way around?

Also, it's strange how what was a chunk of me becomes an impersonal chunk of sample in a bottle in under a minute. I mean, I was even able to look at it clinically and it didn't at all feel like a part of me.
