I think I've heard of Terminal Velocity before.

*does quick internet search*

Oh...OH yes I have! Techpro, THIS was the game I was trying to describe to you a few days (or was it weeks? Maybe you can't even remember) ago but you couldn't figure out what I was talking about. You used to play it WAY back in the day. Or, at least, it was on the computer TO play...
...
I still have it, but beyond it's unique novelties, it really doesn't have much to offer (IMO), plus it may not work very well on current computers.

Also he said it was his unlucky number :P.

I wonder who would remember my b-day. They'll remember yours.

if he hates 29, I can torment him for 365 days. Alieo is pretty nice, and cool, and hasn't caused any problems..........thats why it will be fun *evil grin on face*

First he'll spend a year in the incinerator, then two years in cryogenic storage, and finally 10 years in the room where all the robots scream at you.

Only problem with that quote is that it'll go right over Vanguard's head, seeing he apparently hasn't played the game. :P

I got it, though. ;)

I don't know why I think of this saying from time to time, but,

"As Red would put it, drink you thirty beast"

May not be word for word, but it's from the original Penumbra Overture game.

@Vanguard: LOL!!! Oh well suck to be you for a year! Haha! J/K happy birthday. Enjoy it, because you'll be THIRTY next year! (Did I just say THIRTY! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to refer to the big THREE-OH.) As for me, I'm 26 now, but I will NEVER turn 29. I'll be 27 this year, 28 the next, followed by "28A"! LOL! And I'll be the happiest 30 year old among the land when it does come in 2014 (IFFFF we survive 2012).

Thread derailment seems to be quite en vogue these days here, doesn't it?

Well, to stay on topic:

Some river gorge somewhere (I think I got it from InterfaceLift).

I used to have a slideshow before, but I like this picture so much that it's my current desktop on three different computers for several weeks already.


WillyP,

your Earth seen from space desktop image is fantastic! Where do you have it from?
