Well, anyone up for music?

"Dear Mr. [name],

Your server hung with a Kernel Panic. After a restart, it's back online.

Best Regards."

Is it just me, or is Kernel Panic an inherently funny phrase?

(Perhaps it's because Linux doesn't crash on me... at least, not often)

Holy shit, they can solve the grandfather paradox.

Well, sorta. Looks like time itself kludges around it, rather than deal with it.

Still, this is going to be awesome...

EDIT: Did I mention...

Glitch

Glitch is a first-person arena shooter. What makes it unique is that everything is made up of particle effects, and the level architecture is made up of mobile columns which shift after each level, giving the game a very interesting digital/computerized feel. There is no story, just blasting stuff, and it's surprisingly fun.

Weapons:

Clawgun - your average, rapid-fire assault weapon; not very accurate. Effective for the first few levels, but not a great choice later on.
ACQUIRED FROM: 'Sparrow', a simple, purple enemy that tries to crash into you; very easy to avoid, and the first enemy that you come across.

Cannon - fires an impact-detonation explosive on an arc; you are not harmed by the splash damage. Very effective, and can be found rather early.
ACQUIRED FROM: 'Mortar', a relatively easy enemy that fires arcing shots with a very small blast radius.

Rocket launcher - exactly what it says on the tin; like the cannon, you aren't harmed by you own rockets.
ACQUIRED FROM: 'Pyramid', one of the first annoying enemies you meet - fires a hitscan laser while standing still, then pauses before moving to another location. Royal pain in the ass if you're dealing with other enemies at the same time.

Scattergun: fires a shotgun-like blast of rather lethal rounds which bounce - requires a lot of skill, but is potentially the one of the most deadly weapons.
ACQUIRED FROM: 'Bouncer', a box that ricochets around the arena. Not too much of a threat, but a pain in the ass to hit with some weapons (including its own, oddly enough).

Column gun: an incredibly lethal weapon (which only holds a few shots, so use it wisely) which causes the floor beneath the target area to rocket upwards and slam into the ceiling. Very awesome, and instant death for all but bosses.
ACQUIRED FROM: 'Rolling pin', an interesting enemy that rolls around semi-randomly following the grid (it cannot move diagonally), causing the floor beneath it to move upwards.

Vacuum: one of the most interesting weapons, the vacuum sucks up enemies and transforms them into health. Handy, easy to aim, and a general life-saver.
ACQUIRED FROM: Not associated with any particular enemy; randomly drops from defeated foes.

You've never used that tag before now?

No, I didn't realize anything you put in angle brackets is considered HTML on this board.

Wolfram alpha is the first attempt at a scientific knowledge database that you simply ask a question; an AI interpretation system takes over from there. Although not perfect yet, it's certainly promising.

And they seem to have a sense of humor, too.

If you have slowdown can be caused by a badly installed plugin, since your browser would use whatever media plugin you have installed for the music.

I'm using apple quicktime, and it isn't working for me. Which is surprising, because that's what Firefox recommended...

That's Stark's fault. I think.

Let's see... my favorite pizza chain has to be Pizza Hut, although I haven't tried others very much, so that's not a very informed opinion.

Unfortunately, one of the good pizza places near my house burned down. Lots of grease + ignition source = SIX-alarm fire. Yes, SIX. Thankfully, they contained the fire and the neighboring building only had some mild smoke and water damage.

I fell on a board hard enough earlier everyone thought I shattered a knee-cap. The day after I rolled a motorcycle over twice and emerged without a scratch.

I am indestructible. So far...

Don't tempt fate.
