Out of the Blue

The eleventh anniversary of Quake?? Wow! I'd ask where the time goes, but we've already learned the answer seems to be The Internet.

Well summer is here, but that doesn't make the weather more predictable. We've been getting sun and rain in rapid trade-offs, yesterday there were apparently more tornado warnings in New York State, and there was a terrible flash flood in the Catskills that has a few victims still missing and presumed dead. The five day forecast is just as wacky, as no rain is predicted, but they are expecting 40-degree temperature swings, with a low of 53 and a high in the mid-90s. Sort of the opposite of the Steve Martin weatherman in L.A. Story.

Hot damn, 11 years. When was Blue's Quake Rag founded?

Early/mid 1995!

Yup - this was my first stop in the afternoon and then logged off and dialed up the BBS'.

Hot damn, 11 years. When was Blue's Quake Rag founded? I remember anxiously looking at Wedge and Choryoths site for the latest updates on ACBeta and Quake Kart, or the numerous hits to impact.frag.com for the latest on Quake Rally. Seems like yesterday.

"People called Romans, they go the house?" And any top-100 film list that contains more Stallone movies than Lee Marvin movies is one to be immediately dismissed.

The directors of the firm hired to continue the comments after the other people had been sacked, wish it to be known that they have just been sacked.

The comments have been completed in an entirely different style at great expense and at the last minute.

Any top 100 list that does not have The Great Escape in the top ten, hell, not even in the top 100 list at all, is clearly a horrible and shitty list.

Fuck, I thought that said Planet Unicron. Boy was I surprised. And Citizen Kane is an amazing movie, definately one of my top 10. However, Blade Runner is my #1.
