Demon's Souls servers extended again
random questions:
1. I'm starting to wonder how the really great players are able to micro so well when the screen becomes flooded with characters. Is it common to group units seperately from the hero or shoul you group the hero with as many units as possible?
2. So far i just kind of have the rally point for the barracks set on a hero and i form a unit on the 1 through 4 keys, while the 5-0 keys are for buildings. Does this make sense? I realize you're able to customize keys, but it doesn't seem right when you have so many keys already set for hero and movement actions.
3. The group formation button: I have no idea how that works. Looks like you can create a scatter of units or have them in some sort of cone formation, but i really haven't seen it.
general tips appreciated :D

WTF??!?!?! Nina?!?!! I think back about her behaviour and it's totally inconsistent with someone working the other side. It really feels like they totally pulled that out of their asses.

Dear Ajax,
Thank you for demanding this video be watched. Pink mini skirts can really help change a mood. HOWEVER I believe Dirty by Christina "look at my cooch" Agulera is still #1 video to grab your dick and double click
Cheers,

We'll be playing BF1942 v1.61 at bf1942.shackbattles.com:14567 - password is in themelon's profile.
This is the kbnerd edition; he has finally got his computer running again, and after a motherboard upgrade, he should be able to play Battlefield 1942 (he was unable before). Let’s see if we can give him at least a small taste of why this game was so big around here.
We'll also be using Teamspeak. EVERYONE should be on Teamspeak, at least to listen even if you don't have a mic. We'll be connecting to rydogg1's server: ts.shackbattles.com - no password required.
If you're new to the game and need training or help, I (and several others) will be happy to spend all the time you need walking you through the different classes, weapons, tactics, etc. Just let us know!
The map rotation will also include Shackmaps and the tournament map pack. You can get them at the links below.

I'm buying this basically for school and travel, not so much for gaming (already have a killer desktop for that) but I wouldn't be opposed to getting something with a better video chipset if it exists. I'm pretty much settled on a lightweight unit with a 14" widescreen display.
The system I'm leaning toward at the moment is the Dell XPS M140 with the 1.86 Pentium-M, 1GB, 80GB HD, DVDRW, and the larger battery. I can get that for around $1100. Anyone know of anything that's better in that same $1000-1300 price range?
Thanks!
Ryan

Okay I sent in a resume for this job they sent me an email back saying to fill out a application and send it with my resume. The application is in PDF format but I dont think it has editable fields so I cant type my info in. I figured I would just copy it into word but it looks like dog meat when I do that. How can I enter my info into this damn form? I have adobe reader 7.0 if that matters.

This is a PS1 game, so I need a PS1 memory card to save, huh? Damnit!!
Also, I played the first bit where they dump you in as Richter and you fight Dracula. On my first try I couldn't beat him without taking some damage - so when I died the little girl ran out and saved me. Is it possible to beat him without that happening? If so, does it affect anything?
Thanks!

I'm impressed at the amount of voice audio they managed to cram into this thing, for radio communications especially. It's pretty refreshing (and funny) to hear a new banter between snake and whoever else when getting info.
Oh, and I tried getting the enemy to eat some food that I've tossed at them, but it just doesn't seem to be working (they completely ignore it). Is that even possible?
