I'm pretty sure the reason for the Universe is stupid. That's part of the plan. It was hoped people would stop trying to figure it out.
DarthVaderDarthVader on Sunday, 06 February 2011 23:41

I did figure out what the universe was for once but then it just became more bizarre and inexplicable. Now I have to figure it out all over again... ad infinitum.

Have you read Blue Milk Special? Vadar drinks way too much coffee...

Also, got some great pics of you with my son at our local street-fest thing. Whoever was in the suit was really tall.
DarthVaderDarthVader on Monday, 07 June 2010 06:50

Hadn't seen Blue Milk Special ... not much consumption but plently of spilt coffee in the latest web comic ... no use crying over it tho ;)

DarthVaderDarthVader on Thursday, 27 May 2010 01:12

Yeah, I don't generally drink a lot of coffee so when I do I get lots of stuff done ... but it tends to be a bit mediocre :)

c.Ripleyc.Ripley on Thursday, 27 May 2010 01:52

Maybe it makes you hasty. :) I almost only drink coffee on weekends, when I have time to enjoy it. Black with tons of sugar - yeah.

scriptheadscripthead on Friday, 28 May 2010 07:46

Prism Vader! I myself can't get the light through my head without the coffee.

Yep, for me coffee is a work enabler.

Not time wasted tho, I managed to write, well gather together some photos to act as a memoir of sorts. Check out my blog entry ‘Memoirs of a Dark Lord’ for the fruits of my labour while at the Vader Spa.

Wren
Wren,
Thanks for the add and the freeware games thread. Let's see how long we can keep it going and how many quality freeware/open source games we can put together.
DarthVaderDarthVader on Thursday, 01 April 2010 21:31

Welcome aboard ... good call on the freeware thread. Now if we could only scroll the full discussion list that would be sweet :) Only so many comments are displayed currently, then and the rest fall of the bottom of MOS into the ether :(

FizbopFizbop on Thursday, 01 April 2010 21:38

It's an interesting thread wish I knew some freeware games.

WrenWren on Thursday, 01 April 2010 22:03

Well, you can still click the "show all" link and get all of the posts divided into multiple pages.

Anywhow, if I remember any more games or come across some others that I haven't seen, I'll be sure to add them.

@Fiz: That's what the thread is all about, so everyone can know about these games. You could also poke around on SourceForge.net under the games section. There are a lot of game projects there. Quite a few of them are unfinished or abandoned, but if you dig, there are some gems to be found.

DarthVaderDarthVader on Friday, 02 April 2010 00:23

Wren, I had totally missed the "show all" link. Must take my helmet off more often. Who said you can't teach an old Darth new tricks ;)

WrenWren on Friday, 02 April 2010 00:53

Hehe. The link could be more prominent and perhaps each page could be limited to 10 posts instead of 5. Better yet, if we could have the number of posts per page a user configurable setting.

DarthVaderDarthVader on Friday, 02 April 2010 07:26

Agreed. I would like to maybe see a 'Number of comments to be displayed in discussions' setting under Profile > Preferences. Along the lines of 'Number of activities to be displayed in profile'.

FizbopFizbop on Friday, 02 April 2010 08:27

Well it would be hard to see with a helmet that projects things a bit darker. :P
