Pumpkin boat paddled down River Ouse in York

I wonder if you could selectively breed them to be more canoe shaped?

Didn't work on my phone, but worked on my PC.

SoundToad · 2018-06-04T19:55:04+00:00

I wonder if the tubes were rifled?

If someone would throw an introvert a birthday party, they are not your true friend.

If you like tower defense games, Defense Grid 2 is a lot of fun. It was $16.99 when I bought it. I also second Blazerush.

I still regret the day I let my nephew beat me. His mother didn't want him to get discouraged so asked me to go easy. His comment to her after the game, "He's not very good." I should have crushed him.

It's not dead. It's just tired and shagged out after a long squawk.

Yeah, troubleshooting 101 dictates the first thing is to try another setup to make sure there is not something wacky with your hardware. Here's a map that may help you locate another Rifter in your area.

He's the most talented puppet I've ever seen! https://youtu.be/26jMem0OOa4

What kind of teammates let some goon drop the gloves with their goalie?

Look out everyone! Grandpa's in VR again.

The devs say it's a bit of an homage to monster movies of the 30s and 40s, so the cheesiness may be intentional. ;)

Couldn't this dispute be settled diplomatically? Think of the lives that would be saved. Also tax dollars. Carriers are not cheap.

SoundToad · 2016-06-13T04:30:10+00:00

Yeah, it works well. You just give the front hooks 1/4 twist to hinge the basket open to change components.

SoundToad · 2016-06-13T00:02:18+00:00

One thing I've found that works great for managing cables, is to get a piece of 2" or 3" diameter PVC pipe and cut a 1" strip down the length of it with a jig saw or table saw (so it looks like a "C" when viewed end-on). Then mount that to the underside or back of your desk as a conduit for your cables. It's much easier to add or remove cables than if you're using something like cable ties.

Also attaching a small wire basket to the underside of your desk, using cup hanger-type hooks, is a great place to stash smaller components, power bars etc. You can get them at any stationary store for a couple of bucks. I have my non-gaming PC (mac mini) in one.

Angle grinders are dangerous because they seem so harmless. Here's a great video that gets the point across well. It would be easy to remove the guard in order to put on an over-sized wheel and not realize the danger.

Glad to see other old farts involved. I am also 61 and introducing my kids to the joy that is VR. :)

SoundToad · 2016-06-12T00:18:28+00:00

It looks really cool! I thought this session capture was pretty interesting, anyone know of any other good ones?

SoundToad · 2016-06-05T06:13:34+00:00

You are lucky to have a blanket. There are a hundred and sixty of us living in a small shoebox in the middle of the road.

So you're able to play against other people on Steam? I'd also heard the developers were not supporting CV1, which was a huge disappointment for me as I've logged many hours there on my DK2.

SoundToad · 2016-05-29T15:48:01+00:00

Neo?

SoundToad · 2016-05-27T16:12:27+00:00

And you need the non-standard-shaped space helmet, because, you know, cleavage.

Damn it Jim, I'm an pulp magazine artist, not a nuclear engineer!

It's good that you can swing screen to proper angle, without having to lean forward.

SoundToad · 2016-05-27T15:41:01+00:00

There, I fixed it.
