New efforts!

[LaughingAlex]

I'm very glad that things are making progress for that game.  I really want to see the looks on the skeptics' faces when City of titans and Valiance online exceeds their expectations.

With the talk of 4th dimensional beings, I'm trying to remember the title of a book I read in elementary or middle school. It was about people who had found portals to 2nd and 4th dimensional worlds, and were trying to keep them secret. The main character was a girl, and some guy at school revealed to her the presence of the portals by showing that he'd been to the 4th dimension and had his body switched around - his heart was in the wrong side of his chest. It ends with them resisting selling their house for a highway, because it would reveal the presence of a portal to the 2nd dimension, and they don't want people to abuse it.

Rear Admiral?  Does that mean he's a top?

well, some might say he's a bottom.

[JoshexProxy]

Just ask the one known as Joshex.  Or his Proxy.  One of them is bound to know.   ;)

We all exist with-in 6 dimensions actually. each of them moving in accordance to the 7nth dimension of which we have no control and only a data presence in.

Now tell us about 4-corner simultaneous day.

[JoshexProxy]

I've spent many years studying the one we call Joshex.  I think he is actually a 4th dimensional being.  And so he is seeing every possible discussion at once.  It makes the "point" hard to keep track of.

I look at many points that could be made and decide on which one appeals to me the most rather than which one would help prove anything the most. often times this means ignoring the main point I may have previously been aiming for.

it's like you see a steak restaurant on a map when you're hungry, so you follow the map to get there, then by the time you get close you decide you really don't actually want steak and see an ice cream place not too far off and decide it's time for a cool desert.

things change and sometimes the main point is meant to be changed, or pointless to continue towards it at least.

if a point is pointless what does it make it?

And, talk of trying to remember a book you read in school reminds me of a short story I read about a time traveler who went back to meet William Shakespeare and when he did Shakespeare's response was, "Oh no, not another one."

Argh, wish I could remember the name or author that story...

A lot of people do that.  Even I occasionally do that.  I think where people draw the line is when you agree to drive everyone to lunch at a new steak restaurant, instead drive to Disneyland, moon Princess Ariel, set the car on fire while everyone is still in it, then wonder the next day why no one kicked in for gas money.

I thought the rear admiral's job was only to admire rears.

[Nyx Nought Nothing]

I'm a 5th dimensional being, but I'm trying to lose a little weight.

i've got more dimensions than that, but most of them are curled up really small. It's hard to keep track of just how many since all these vibrating strings are really distracting.

You might think that a phenomenon that flipped his organs would also flip his chirality. Of course if that had happened it would've been a much shorter book.

You're thinking of Captain Derrière Bootè.

You're good. Although the cover I remember was a bit less goofy than the one shown. :p

Ha! The wikipedia page for the book has a link to a website where you can chat all about theoretical 4th dimensional space.

So where are we right now anyways, just playing the waiting game?

Also just a thought, you know let's say we do actually get CoH back (yay! fingers crossed!) everyone is happy etc etc. What's going to happen to these games currently being developed? Think they'll be finished and released or just forgot about and the guys making them will be playing CoH as happy as the rest of us? lol
