Pretty much everyone in the top 10 on the ODL were \"cheaters\". Scoundrl was the worst ;) And how did it cause the \"fall of Case's Ladder\"? I knew Jeremy (Case) and Abigail quite well and don't remember any of this ...the biggest problem he had was players submitting fake wins...

I would write down \"Return the game and download the torrent\".

d0ggY

Definitely remember the name. RIP.

d0ggY

Tried it once, bored already.

Judging by the high scores though, a lot of people will probably go all out just for bragging rights.

d0ggY

effin kato! Him and his damn gravis pad ...he was sure good with that thing.

Oh, and AB, here's a recent blurb on Scoundrl ...apparently he's still a master of whatever he plays:

Wow KB and AB in the same thread. You two bringing back the ODL?! Now we just need Scoundrl, DrDon, otaY, and Karash and we're all set.

Wow, Mr.Brinton ...ltns. Back on ODL and early IDL the only ones I really remember were the Total Chaos series, Minerva, Fusion Rat's Paradise, Nysa, Athena, io, kaotixnm, manes, Atropos Some others (mostly by Spaz): Demeter, Galatea, Hera, lachesis, maia, megadeth, Aglaia For D2 the ones I specific...

Loved it until the end. Got too unrealistic but up until that point it was so believable that it was quite captivating.

if you're just sitting there trying to remember something, certain neurons have to be reached first. This is actually 100% correct, according to current theory on memory. This is precisely why, when trying to recall something you meant to say a few moments ago, retracing your conversation or though...

d0ggY

I like your wording Sllik ...as I truly agree with your second statement completely. That's precisely how it works. As for your third paragraph, again I think you allude to something very important. I think this is the point where guys like Einstein, Galileo, DaVinci, Hawkings, and other similar \&q...

One theory of memory: At a base level, our brain functions by forming synaptic connections between neurons. At the next level up, these connections build pathways between related elements. It is the way these formations occur -- the pairing of one element with another -- that determines our memory c...

I actually switched gears and am doing my BSW now to work in the field of family mediation. I admit ...I really really really miss neuro-psych and also the ability to take electives in religion, anthro, etc and to start to make use of the cross-disciplinary learning. With the BSW it's strictly socia...

d0ggY

Ahh that's a super interesting topic! I'm guessing you are doing a lot of work with the mirror neuron theory? I mixed a lot of anthropology and psych together in a special course I took in brain evolution and language and read a lot of work by de Waal and especially Arbib. I didn't get too much into...

I did mine at the Perception & Action Lab at the Uni of Manitoba under Dr. Marotta. As I was the guinea pig (first one to really use the machine for the type of testing I was doing), my actual data was pretty much garbage and my entire thesis was mostly just a trial and error of what to do and n...

d0ggY

Animals do the exact same thing. The only difference is in the wide variety of emotions that we recognize in our own species. Although I'd bet that infant-emotion is related solely to their reaction to stimuli on a pleasure/pain principle rather than on \"conscious\" processes, such as we ...

d0ggY

I agree in some respects. Ironically enough I finished my psych thesis on comparing grasp apertures depending on whether the subject was to actually reach and grasp the object or simply to make a grasp-size estimation of the target. I worked for several years in the neurophysiology lab at my Uni, sp...

Animals also interact with their environment as well and many are quite adept at controlling and altering it to suit their needs. Animals also have access to sensory input the same as us ...and some have extra-sensory systems that go beyond us. I still hold that the difference is in our brain struct...

d0ggY

tc, ya you can definitely understand how solitary confinement would quickly lead to \"insanity\". Our guide only turned the lights off for maybe 30 seconds and it really was an unbelievable experience to have your eyes \"adjust\" but still not be able to see ANYTHING. Kind of ind...

d0ggY

Biofeedback!! Thanks! I was racking my brain all yesterday trying to remember the damn term. Out of curiosity, what all were you able to master for working out? It fascinated me when my prof talked about it and I had always meant to do a meta-analysis of any research since I was in both Buddhism and...

The guy who is most famous for the astral expt is Robert Bruce. Although I heard during a lecture on psychokinetics that similar projection experiments were done in the 30's (not sure on the details) as some had claimed that guys like Houdini could make things happen out of body. Regardless, if you ...

d0ggY

I think you answered the first question with your second statement. It only \"feels\" cold because the compressed gas is actually a liquid. When it is expelled into a gas, it evaporates, requiring a lot of energy from the surrounding area. This makes it feel cold. At least that's what I re...

d0ggY

Your first statement seems contradictory. If earthworms are conscious, yet do not possess a spirit, then how come humans only become living, \"conscious\" beings once the spirit enters them? I suppose you should define consciousness and also your definition of spirit would be great as well...

d0ggY

If they have had all these senses previously, yes they are very aware. They still would have acquired language, sense of time, and would have LTM and memories. However, things like your sense of time and the vividness of your memories would eventually become distorted. Imagine being locked in a pris...

d0ggY

The first issue, as with any philosophical/science question is a matter of definition. Consciousness is merely being \"awake\" and \"aware\" of one's surroundings at it's root level. Based on this definition, all beings with sensory perception and an IQ high enough to be aware of...

d0ggY

wiley ...now there's a name I vaguely remember ...wow was that awhile ago. I went by \"griffin\" back then ...ltns.

d0ggY

Scream?!?! holy crap, can't believe I left you off that list. You mangled me numerous times as well. Before d0ggY and back when you were around, I played as \"griffin\" on IDL and Official D.L.

How's it going?!?!

And ya War, we had some good battles a few times lol

d0ggY

J, otaY played around the time of AaronB, Strap, Scoundrl, DrDon, etc. He mostly just idled on Kali and joined random games but was definitely a monster.

d0ggY

My list (when they were at the top of their game - and likely a few top players I'm forgetting): DrDon Strap otaY Scoundrl R2D298 Kiln Birdseye Slurpy Warlord Diablo ReaCt Jediluke Peartman Karash *Update Wow, I just found this link from when I was doing pilot ratings back in the early 2k's. http://...

Merlin, that really isn't random enough. Taken in that order, those 3 things kinda go together.

My random 3:
1) popsicle
2) lemon tree
3) pornography

One of my favs ...

A hole has been found in the nudist camp wall ...the police are looking into it.

d0ggY

Ok so if it's about innovation, pioneering, etc then what about one of the first Flight Sim games? Not sure which came first but some early ones were the MS Sim and Red Baron. Again, Wing Commander sticks in my head too. And Doom should be replaced with Wolfenstein 3D as it really started it all. Al...

d0ggY

I agree with the comments already made. The Sims should never have made it, neither should MULE or ROGUE. Sim City, Doom 2, Warcraft, Descent definitely should be on there. Command & Conquer as well. As for Myst, I'd take that out and stick in Buried in Time. It wasn't as popular (any of you pla...

That about sums up my life too. I miss D

Ya it's an ad for an autoshop up here called Midas for winter tires. Still cracks me up when I see it on TV.

ix: sounds like Icy's quote.

d0ggY

I remember the name Skelter ...long way back. Ya Spar was a good buddy of mine on kali altho he rarely actually played the game, he was very much enmeshed in the community. Sadly I don't know what 99% of the old players are up to these days. From the sounds of it the NYDP crew is still on the board ...

d0ggY

Wow Sharpie ...how ya been?! I remember the old PSF crew ...you, Breadman ...who else was there?

Gipsoncoil ...now that's a name that goes back 10+years

Sllik'er! The man with the D gallery ...how goes it?

d0ggY

I side with the guy ...the world is too serious when it shouldn't be and not serious enough when it should be. Common sense is a lost art.

d0ggY

Fair enough. Out of curiousity, do you think animals have souls? I ask because animals dream but most people who believe in souls and spirits do not believe animals possess souls.
