Got Uplink today on steam for $5. Soooo good! Finally a game capable of getting my adrenaline rushing. "You have 5 seconds to complete the mission, abort the attempt, or get a game over screen."

also: "you can steal money from that guy's bank account you had the mission related to, but you better be really quick about erasing your tracks! otherwise game over for you."

Okay, I got the bundle with this game, and might I say, this is quite fun once you get the hang of it. Definitely got in the habit of deleting logs first thing. I don't want a beginner mission to bite me in the ass regarding traces sometime in the future.

Oh, and Hammerfight. I remember playing this game with/against my brother. Looked rather fun as well. Hell, the games in the Indie Future Pack look good. Wish Defcon was in there though. I want that back so I can play some rounds against my brothers.

get Log Deleter 4.0 as soon as you can. (along with trace tracker upgrades and other important stuff, of course)

also, the in-game InterNIC doesn't trace you if you try their admin password and it never changes either, unless you start a new character; combine that with Log Deleter 4.0 and you're golden, as long as you remember to kill the logs there.

That mahjong game was awesome.
Dad won 2/4 rounds, other two were ties.
Beginner's luck.
All of it.

People finally stopped calling in so my introverted self has time to think.

I have a Christmas-themed RPG tomorrow and I'm running it. Normally it'd be Saturday, but Saturday's Christmas day, so I had to move it back a bit.

Way back in ye olden times, folks roundabouts talked of family history. This is my story.

My dad's family came from the Netherlands by boat to Ellis Island, and they fought for the North in the Civil War. As time passed, they moved West. I have distant (oh so distant) cousins in Ohio, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, and (much more recently), Montana, Idaho, and my current state of Washington. My mom's family I know little about, except that most of the men in the most recent two centuries have been miners. Long ago, however, the progenitor of her line sailed to America to escape Europe. You see, him and his brother were drafted to fight in Russia for Napoleon. His brother left France to the East, and died on the march. My mom's ancestor left France to the West, where he came to America. When my mom and dad were still together, my mom would always joke about how her side of the family was where our common sense came from.

My sister is arriving in town for the holidays tomorrow. Huzzah!

It'll be good to see her and her husband. It's been a while since we've been able to hang out, what with the several hundred miles standing between here and Georgia.

Spoiler: Did a quick composite of some pixel art I found. Because Nue and Kogasa are the best. (click to show/hide)

There is no Suwako or Hina there.  It is not the best.  I am saddened.  (I guess since I'm saddened I shouldn't post this in the happy thread)

Did so, and have seen how effective it was. Unfortunately, I got a bit reckless deleting logs, I kinda got traced by a different company I previously hit a few times (missions) (but then again, I also used the same chain a few times and also cleared their logs almost completely, and didn't get out in time. That was with clearing INIC beforehand as well. ). I made sure this time around to get at least a 3.0 trace tracker ASAP, and upgrade it a moment later. I take it that if this is beginner/novice, and it gets this tricky, I can imagine master difficulty and such. :shudder: sounds fun.

Dude's not done Suwako.
He's got Hina, though.
Of course, this guy does Hina the best.

[MythagoWoods]

That... is an awesome Hina.  Disturbing and creepy as all get-out but awesome.

If you have a Pixiv account, the rest of his stuff is here.

Oh, and Suwako sprite sheet from Hisoutensoku.
Thought you might be interested.

Last night some friends and I stayed up to watch the eclipse, and passed the time until the penumbra by playing an old classic: 007 Nightfire for the GameCube. We started out being terrible, none of us having played many first person shooters before. By the end, we got to the point where the three of us were beating six AI bots, all set to the hardest difficulties, wherein they cheated like mad, turning faster than humanly possible, sensing you from a mile away, and being able to take a half dozen bullets to the face before falling over. Of course, we would have been creamed had we not found the cheapest tactic ever in capture the flag. I stayed at our base, hidden with a rocket launcher pointed straight at our flag, so that they couldn't grab it easily. My friends then ran along the gondola cables over the canyon to steal the enemy flag really quickly. (You're normally supposed to use the lone bridge over the ravine.) Easy game, but fun.

D'aaaaaw
