The War Between alt.tasteless and rec.pets.cats The War Between alt.tasteless and rec.pets.cats By Josh Quittner It wasn't Trashcan Man's idea to raid rec.pets.cats, though I'm sure he wished it had been. Inciting a riotous Usenet flame war, like the war between alt.tasteless and rec.pets.cats, isn't a common notion of a good time. If you're a reader of alt.tasteless, as I am, you've probably heard of Trashcan Man. Trashcan Man's two favorite possessions are a coin purse made from a kangaroo scrotum and a tin of Vegemite. You can buy it in health food stores. Trashcan Man has yet to sample his: "I fear it, man, I fear it," he says, wistfully. Which is an intriguing thought: Trashcan Man fearing something. You should know that Usenet, the battleground for what has become known as The War Between alt.tasteless and rec.pets.cats, is the Internet's answer to Time Warner's 500 channels of cable. Usenet is like a vast computer bulletin board, readable by more than 10 million people around the world every day. WELCOME TO ALT.TASTELESS 1.

Star Saga Star Saga is a series of floppy-based video games which combine a computerized game arbiter with hefty sections of printed text. Released in an era before the availability of the CD-ROM format, the titles make up for the limited storage available at the time by using print to attempt to tell a rich story. In essence, the designers endeavored to blend aspects of paper gamebooks with the complexity of a role-playing video game. Versions of the games were released for MS-DOS and for the Apple II series of computers. Games[edit] Star Saga: One - Beyond The Boundary, released in 1988, was the first in a short-lived series of science fiction adventure/role-playing games by Masterplay Publishing. In 2815 A.D., the majority of the human race is afraid of space. Now, a Space Patrol enforces the "Boundary," that one-way border around the Nine Worlds in order to prevent anything like the "Space Plague" from ever happening again. To M.J.

Purple Pawn - Game News Across the Board Amadán's In Nomine Page Last updated June 4, 2005 Archangel Dominic has noted websurfers disturbing the Symphony. In Nomine, by Steve Jackson Games, is a roleplaying game featuring the War between Heaven and Hell. I am a freelance writer and editor whose work has appeared in most In Nomine supplements. I also once ran an In Nomine game on CompuServe's Roleplaying Games Forum, called "666: The Number of the Beast". Later, however, it was set in San Francisco and Los Angeles, so you will also find some material about In Nomine San Francisco. I now play in an online game on Dreamlyrics called God Bless Texas (GBT), set in Austin. But there are a lot more In Nomine materials here! Comments?

How To Beat Carnival Games - Blifaloo Tips to win a knock-off stuffed animal or dusty 2LiveCrew vanity mirror next time you're counting mullets at the fair. Rope Ladder The trick to climbing carnival rope ladders is to completely ignore the "rungs" and only use the outside ropes to climb on. While applying equal pressure with your right foot and left arm, move your left foot and right arm uat the same time. Then do the same thing with the opposite limbs -- shimmying yourself up the ladder. Do not move both hands or both feet at the same time - you will lose your balance. Ring Toss Game: Snap your wrist as you throw the ring to achieve the most spin possible, this will stabilize the ring making it easier to land cleanly on your target. Balloon Dart Throw The balloons are under-inflated, and the dart tips are dull. Shoot out the Star: In this skill game you need to completely remove the red star using a BB gun. Very hard to beat, even for a good marksman. Also note that the barrels are often bent, and their marks not accurate. 1. 2.
