It's like Kelvin.
But worse.

According to wikipedia, it's basically Celsius that starts at absolute zero.

No, that's what Kelvin is.
Rankine is Fahrenheit that starts at absolute zero.

[Kadzar]

WHY.

That, right there, is why.

Yup, William John Macquorn Rankine created his system of temperature measurement just to infuriate Darvi.

Anyone ever watch anything really... shall we say "hip" and you thought/knew it was bad but you just couldn't for the life of you guess if it was popular or unpopular?

I am actually losing thought on it.

Is it bad that I had to read over that three times before I was sure of what you meant?
Also, yes. It is called SB&HJ. Shit ain't even funny, it is just the total lack of meaninful context that is so absurd it is funny.

So... Wizards of the Coast is undoing some of the screwed up decisions that made me abandon them during the 4e/Gleemax debacle. I'm kinda happy about that. But at the same time, I am emotionally dis-invested in the success or failure of WotC.

Now all they have to do is bring back d20 modern, printed issues of polyhedron, and maybe publish supplements for pathfinder and who am I kidding, it will never happen.

I could have sworn I saw a bunch of supplements for Pathfinder at my local game store. Maybe they were for a different system, but it was definitely a paper-and-pen game and it wasn't D&D.

It probably was pathfinder, Piazo/Paizo(sp?) has been publishing stuff under that name for a while, and a handful of the old 3rd party d20/OGL publishers still produce a limited number of supplements for the system.

So you're saying that you want supplements from WoTC in particular?

Not really. Piazo is doing a good job, what I really want back is d20 modern and polyhedron.

Alright, I suppose that makes sense.

Well I was watching the "Top 10 worst gaming cliches" and the first one to invalidate the person's cred was... actually the very first one (#10).

What was it? Walking inspite hitting a wall.

That isn't a cliche because it isn't a device.

[penguinofhonor]

That's just a programming oversight at worst.

[Skyrunner]

That's just a programming oversight at worst.

What was #1~3?

[Darvi]

I disagree. Having the character actually walk through the wall is worse.

Sudden and disturbingly strong craving for garlic bread.

There is no garlic bread in this house. I haven't had garlic bread in, like. Over a year. But I can almost taste it, and I hunger.

They tell me that sometimes cravings for food can be indicative of physiological necessities (I get an incredible craving for chocolate after surgeries, at least so far), but I'm not quite sure what garlic bread indicates. Perhaps a premonition of vampires?

I eat plenty of bread, though garlic is fairly lacking in this house (one of the other folks here is to garlic what I am to onion), so... I'unno. Guess I'll pick some up next time we go grocery shopping. I do like the stuff, at least when it's done primarily with powdered (or at least really, really fine) garlic.

Also someone has been knocking one someone's door, outside, for like, the last five or ten minutes. At 10 PM. Person, if they haven't come to the door yet, they're not flipping going to. Or if they do after you've been yammering on their door for the last quarter hour, they might be leading with a fist.
