The Still New What Did You Last Do Thread

There's issues with the DNS change to the new server. Until it's fixed, use http://www.doom.world/ instead.

You sure? Taking me there just leads back to the old Doomworld site, and the link to the forum is still busted.

The DNS has since changed. Flush your cache.

Alright. Contracts are officially bullshit now.

I did four contracts with their bonus in the last few weeks. What did I get?
Pistol and 3 SMGs. And guess what: Except for the Pistol, they all look ugly.

Edit: OK, one is worth almost a euro, but still.

Played some Knight's Contract not too long ago. I like the premise, but goddamn these Quicktime event boss killings! Also I never found the AI to be anywhere near as horrifying as IGNorance put it. Yes Gretchen will get herself killed a bit easily if you don't pay attention and carry her everywhere, but that's the point I thought. The absolute worst thing I recall was the severe button mashing required to revive. There should have been a way to do that at any point so that you don't get cornered at the last second in a bad fight, and without just picking up Gretchen.

Interesting couple of days last week. My daughter and I went on her first serious hill walk. We went up Lochnagar. It was a nice enough day weather-wise but near the top it became overcast and the wind really picked up. The wind chill took it down to an effective temperature of -2 degrees Celsius (about 28 Fahrenheit). Yay for July in Scotland! Then a day later, I went with my son so that he could cash-in a present he'd got for his birthday from his uncle: the opportunity to drive a tank (specifically, this tank). He drove, I rode, it was pretty neat.

[Dragon Mech]

i can't decide if that is a modified tank or an early APC (Armored Personal Carrier).

[Enjay]

The guy did tell us but the engine was really noisy, I could hardly hear him and I can't remember. I'm sure someone will know. There was quite a bit of room for passengers in the back so maybe APC.

I remember that it has a Rolls Royce engine (6+ litres - I forget exactly) and can run on basically any flammable liquid that you can find "from whisky to frying oil" and it does about 5 miles to the gallon.

My main data HD has suddenly quit. When I can get the system to realize there's a disk there at all, it just hangs trying to actually do anything with it. So getting it to work for just a few hours to pull everything important/irreplaceable off there isn't even an option.

Since I probably don't have the money for professional data recovery (assuming that could even help), I guess everything on there is gone.

That's definitely an APC, a tank would have a big gun (not necessarily on a turret, but it'd have one). My guess would be that it's this one.

I broke an oath.
Someone could've told me that one bottle of coca-cola had a bit of alcohol, now what do i tell the girls...

I have a new, vastly superior phone job where I can sit here F5'ing. Haven't done that in a couple years because, like, I have a life and a fiance and things to do. Except right now. When I'm F5'ing the forums.

[Enjay]

My guess would be that it's this one.

Yep, pretty sure that's it. Thanks.

SpinRite before you give up on it entirely.

SpinRite before you give up on it entirely.

That might be helpful if (as already stated) I could access the drive in any way. It simply won't respond properly (as evidenced by any bootable PE that offers a "Verbose" option).
