This video, which proves that Canada > USA.

Wow, those guys went really purple... Were those harnesses choking them in some way?

A team member for Prometheus-camp am I.

Also won 50€ by being the best from our school in an economy knowledge thing, organized by some banks.

Hurray for Good Judges.

I love how movies always show "hacking" or other assorted computer wizardry in some kind of graphical wonderland (like the infamous "UNIX" system in Jurassic Park) with progress bars and timers and whatnot, but the best way to get someone's jaw to drop and have them mutter something like "You people are gods" still remains pulling up a command prompt and fixing a problem entirely by typing arcane command-line stuff with lots of flags and switches. 

That reminds me of when I was in elementary school (1st grade, I think), and some of my classmates were trying to load up a program while visiting the school library, and what would have taken them all week to figure out, I managed to get done in less than a minute. I would have to say, at that age, I was an "enlightened one" that can operate a computer. Mind you, this was before Windows got super fancy and I had to resort to the stuff that came with classic DOS (directory trees and such, along with a few basic commands).

i just love watching my fortresses decend into chaos...

Funny enough, my fort is actually ascending towards order; although I've just started my 3rd year of it. But for a Vault-Tec style vault fortress (based on the Fallout3 model, using Deon's wasteland mod (.92f)), it's almost running like clockwork, despite such a small doorway being the only way in and out of the vault (sticking to the style; big vault door, small wood door covering the cave entrance). It also helps that I got the plumbing down and got a decent reservoir inside to keep most of the lazier population indoors with their parties. I'm getting close to breaching 100 population, and my FPS is starting to take a hit as well. Actually, the population is large enough to slow or stop migration into the fort, fortunately.

I've just now started working on my military and filling in any leftover nobility blanks so I can start upgrading the system, as well as beef up security to the point of being ready for ambushes and sieges, as well as digging deeper. For all the work put into it so far, it looks nice.

Indeed. My relatives are amazed at home when I do anything from the terminal prompt. Even if all I did was "aptitude install whatever".
On a darker note of the same phenomenom, a longtime friend (and crush) of mine recently remarked to me in a telephone chat that I should have worked in computer science, because I know lots of stuff(not actually true). She probably meant this as a compliment, but since I'm a medical school graduate (as is she, for that matter) it annoyed me somewhat.

Playing Cataclysm.

Ramming a truck through a building and crushing a dozen zombies to death is more fun than it has any right to be

There are vehicles now?!!?!?!?!?!

Also playing Cataclysm, and having trouble getting past the first day alive. Including when my character started with a basement gun stash.

Working on D&D stats.

Spoiler: D&D and Ponies (click to show/hide)

Applejack is mechanically a lolth-touched heavy war horse, to make up for the preposterous bonuses unicorns get. While both of her friends with bardic music are singing, she deals something like 4d6+19 points of damage, thanks to some standard workarounds to bardic redundancy (I love Dragonfire Inspiration), and has a very high attack bonus at the same time. Plus, maneuver damage. On her opening round, she can drop a given hippo party member to ~1/2 HP depending on their build, which is basically what I want. All this despite all the ponies being at level 4 to the hippos' 8 (their main advantage is in there being twice as many ponies as hippos).

What I do: Make your absolute priority to get a backpack and a HANDGUN (not a rifle. Not a smg), and kill things from point blank range, and only when you have no other choice.

After that come

- Books
- A heavy-duty gun (.45, or .44) for hulk encounters.
- Food (first perishable, then on subsequent raids nonperishable)
- RAM, processor board, screwdriver, solderin iron (for electrohack)

Then I raid labs with the aim of getting a bare minimum of metabolic interchange+ 3 internal batteries + integrated toolset + electromagnetic unit (and cranial flashlight, if possible)

In more serious news, delicious, delicious chocolate-covered jelly rings. OMNOMNOM.

You know, shortly after release, Legend released the My Little Legend PDF, with normal ponies, elemental ponies, unicorns, and pegasi as races.

I'm sure I've mentioned how awesome it is.
