Anyone know where to find the "COPS: Imperial Troopers" student film?

I thought it was the three-second rule? And I prefer to use a five-second rule. I figure, they're going to cut in front of me, no matter how close I get to the car in front of me, so might as well give myself enough time to react when they speed up, cut in front of me, then slam on the...

I sense a merge coming... This topic was brought up in the Movies and Novels forum already.

You don't want XP per battle. You want gold per hit. Per hit, not per battle. If you get too little, you're going to be woefully underequipped when it comes time to take on the bigger monsters. So find the biggest thing you can beat often, and fight it. But not the skeleton, the kobold, or...

In the Dragon Crown adventure, if I recall correctly, the party came upon a huge sculpture, one side of which had the face of a thri-kreen and one side had the face of an avangion. It invokes an ancestral memory in all thri-kreen who see it. It brings up memories of the "Great One." And that...

I see Ao the Bloody playing a bit. But yeah, that's about the extent of it. Guess the newness has worn off. Have you visited Nothingland to try out their arcade games? Tons of old classics, but (as I've said) what with my already poor mouse skills and a mouse that seems to be on the verge...

Is there any newbies that are still active? I wasted a dwarven plate, a knuckleduster, and a bearskin cloak (all with Giant's Strength), all on people who either aren't checking their PMs, or who used them for a couple times, then stopped playing over a week ago (and, I might add, not even...

The person sending the STL gets one credit, at most. You can get ten people to buy off a STL, and you'd only get the credit for one. And even then, that's only if your order ships before the week ends, and if the people who got the discount ship before the week ends. Having items on...

Eh, he's just spamming multiple message boards with this stuff (well, that's based on a sample size of two, but still...). So far, no-one knows what the heck provoked this, since Edena--so far as I can gather, and this is totally opinion--likes to post in character, no matter what the topic...

I just want to express my outrage at... (waiting for the mods to close the thread :) )

If you can get it, you might want to try out Strutinan's (of WOTC boards) conversion. Where the athas.org team started from the Prism Pentad to do their conversion, Strutinan started from the DS1E and DS2E rules to do his conversion. But he got shouted down so many times (mainly because he...

I did well enough on the ASVABs that the Navy wanted my flabby behind to be at the controls of one of their nuclear reactors on their subs. Yeah, that would have been good: Someone with my memory, in charge of something as dangerous as a nuclear reactor. :D "Did you remember to insert the...

Yup. I saved up to 400,000 before I bought my last three diamonds. Getting 20k a day in interest helped a lot. :)

Did anyone take the Achievement Tests? Not as common as the ACT and the SAT, but it was offered when I was a kid. I did great on the math, of course (a 790), okay on the English, but I absolutely flunked Chemistry, even having taken honors chemistry in high school. (I went on to take...

Wow. Did people suddenly lose interest in RPG? This thread has been dormant for over a week, and I've been waiting for over 12 hours for someone (someone besides me :) ) to take on a raging balrog... On the plus side, I finally got all 8 diamonds. Tossed two Giant's Strength to a neutral...

Mine was 1340, from 1987. A 760 in math (top 2%, but I'm definitely an applied-math man, except that I kind of enjoy calculus and number theory; got to retry calculus of complex numbers again some day), but only a 560 in English. Math is definitely my first language. :)

That's cheating! :)

Anyone have some action, sci-fi and comedy suggestions? There's just too many pages there to browse through (something like 30 pages for the letter B in Action, for instance).

You've just got to learn to recognize a few basic patterns, is all. A "1 2 1" equals two mines at the edges. A "1" at a corner is an obvious place to find a mine. A "4" is often an L-shaped group of mines. I still make mistakes, but it isn't hard to get to the end of a game of Expert...

My best time for Expert was about 120 seconds. But that was a very, very fortunate placing of mines. That was probably a once-in-a-lifetime event. My standard time for Expert is about 140 seconds, of the ones I manage to win. It's very easy to get the first 30 or 40 bombs flagged (in those...
