    Eye halve a spelling chequer
    It came with my pea sea
    It plainly marques four my revue
    Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

    Eye strike a key and type a word
    And weight four it two say
    Weather eye am wrong oar write
    It shows me strait a weigh.

    As soon as a mist ache is maid
    It nose bee fore two long
    And eye can put the error rite
    Its rarely ever wrong.

    Eye have run this poem threw it
    I am shore your pleased two no
    Its letter perfect in it's weigh
    My chequer tolled me sew.

    A Portal Mod - Portal Prelude. I DL'ed it, but haven't played it yet.
    (EDIT: I finally played it. This mod suffers, like others I've played, because the designers made incredibly difficult levels. If you LIKE spending an hour trying the same jump over and over to get it JUST RIGHT, this is the mod for you. Clearly, Portal level design is more problematic than other games.)

    This link has more info, but a slower DL rate.

    Faster DL, no info given.

    Necessity? What is that supposed to mean? Who said so? Can´t imagine a man like u having any problems at all and by far no NECESSITIES in regard of weight?! Is it that?
    Bah!
    U feel a´light with urself and what u eat (supposing its healthy stuff) and that´s it.

    This fat guy - that is sick. He should have acted a long time ago. But all that diet shit is not healthy either. Just the oposite.

    Here r some things to look out for (just in case):
    "lacteos" they r called here products made from cowmilk other than the fermented ones (yoghurts, cheese etc.) don´t eat too much of them.
    the human can not be compared to a calve who needs to gain the triple of weight within the first 4 or 5 month of its life!!!
    if u can avoid potatoes in all forms - we don´t need them WWII is over and there is no famine
    u knew that gen manipulated vegies contain more calories too?!
    avoid white bread, white rice etc.
    look out for inegral rice, pasta, bread instead
    consume good oils (virgin olive oil instead of sunflower seed oil or corn oil etc.)
    forget about the crap food - snacks like potatoe chips etc.
    drink lots of spring water. low in salt. forget about the softdrinks.
    enjoy BBQ´ed meat and fish when u can
    last but by far least prepare ur food at home (wify or girlfriend or u), so u at least know it has been prepared well !
    The am diet is only valid for healthy ppl.
    The others should look for specific diets !!! One example is stated here:

    Somehow I just knew sooner or later DocJon will start on that again. I have to warn the others. Guys, just take a second glance for a moment and think about the consequences that r likely 2 hppen here:

    step 1) we suppose this is going to work out perfectly - loosing weight and kicking some a$$ at the claw machines
    step 2) first thing that will be quite likely to happen is that the others will follow ur example -
    a new faschion will be born!
    step 3) soon gamersradio fori will be empty and the claw machines, emm, at least could be called somewhat overcrowded oh no? FNFs in an overcrowded claw machine?

    plz, just for the sake of all u guys !!! - right now probably still innocently babbering in ur sleep, experiencing ur ultimate game in a haunting dream, pearls of sweat on ur faces, skin still shimmering with Dior´s advanced selfrepair caviar nightcream ur wify has given u as ultimate birthday present - (I know I keep on repeating myself but for all of u guys it would be better) if DocJon just stays as he is.

    Doc plz stay as u r enjoy eating a little more healthy but save us from the fatal consequences of loosing too much weight - or maybe a loosing weight prohibition would be the solution -

    Well, I suppose we could limit our FNF to USING a claw machine, instead of IN a claw machine. I think there would be a height issue anyway. . .OK Saint, you talked me out of it! Good jorb! 👍

    It's funny I have had one here that I drew up about 2.5 years ago. I need to have an artist revise it and then the money to have it inked, but it would rival most of those.

    This IS my first G5, and so far, I like it a lot. I take it you have one. Any thought/tips/hints?

    I figured out how to get the tilt-wheel to work in games. The driver auto-detects when I go into a game. When that happens, it assigns two keyboard keys I never use (in game) to the tilt-wheel, then in the game, I assign those keys to the function I want them to do.

    Sounds like a cool way to assign reload.

    R key works well for me, but sometimes I also use the middle mousebutton, that way I have weapon select and reload on the wheel. Haven't yet figured out a good use for the tilt wheel function, but then, I've yet to play a game that won't kick me out of the server every five minutes.

    What are your kick issues Doc?
    I've had some weird ones lately and may be able to help.

    Last FNF, the new Forgotten Hope 2 update we played kept booting me from the server without explanation. Some other folks on the server also got booted around the same time I did, every time, but no one else in TS had any issues. I also got a REBOOT out of the deal. Not even a crash to desktop, a REBOOT. Weird. I think FH2 needs a patch for the patch.

    Thanks for offering to help. Let me know if you think of anything beyond "That FH2 patch is buggy", 'cause that's what I'm running with now.

    Nope sorry, don't have FH, (cuz I don't know where my 1942 disks are) good luck.

    FH2 is based on BF2.
