I did a BAD THING…

…I installed a copy of the old-school (circa 1997) real-time strategy game Age of Empires II on David’s computer, then networked his computer with mine.

I suspect neither of us will be sleeping tonight. “Now, watch! Watch as I smash your village with my siege onagers of DOOM! Hear the wailing of your women and children; they are as music to my ears!”


Quote of the day (via Shelly):

“You are entitled to your own opinion. You are not, however, entitled to your own facts.”


And finally, via physicsduck, recreation for people who think that base jumping is too boring and safe. Dear God. I can’t believe that this actually worked, and nobody died.

  1. That’s fucking stupid! Eiigh!

    (oh no.. I’d never get caught in the straps… and that wasn’t debris flying off the rigging and of COURSE my chute would open without failing so I don’t need a secondary one!)

    ((And impressive!))

    This is stupid fucking? 🙂

  3. You two will be virtually pillaging each other all night. I know it.
    That quote just reconfirms my opinion that Shelly is AWESOME.
    And HOLY SHIT that video. I don’t understand how nobody died during that either. I’m going to have nightmares about being flung from that without a parachute.

  5. I love age of empires II – that’s why we bought our first pc in a mac only household. To be followed by a second one so we could play together… without having a friend haul one over when they visited.

    • Me, too! We still pull it out on occasion and I let Son betray me (does he really think I won’t remember that he always abandons our friendship with an evil laugh and attacks me?) yet again.

  7. I can see why the first guy was wearing his brown overalls.

    I think the second guy lost his shoes. The first guy only had his socks on.

    As for AoE, yes. Many many hours of fun there.
