| 00:30.27 | pagefault | well they are asking what station you want to see it on in the US |
| 00:30.29 | ChipX86 | a petition isn't going to solve a thing |
| 00:30.37 | ChipX86 | Discovery Channel then |
| 00:30.59 | ChipX86 | going to listen to ROTSS |
| 00:31.16 | pagefault | they might air that on irl radio here |
| 00:32.47 | pagefault | I think they are getting rid of some of the G4 shows on g4techtv here |
| 00:32.54 | pagefault | they have a survey up on what you like or hate |
| 00:33.18 | ChipX86 | so far, I *love* ROTSS |

| 00:37.43 | ChipX86 | every time I listen to this, I think about how I want to do a radio show again |
| 00:39.48 | TD | we so should |
| 00:40.03 | ChipX86 | it's the bandwidth and servers that's an issue |
| 00:40.16 | TD | well, lugradio just publishes mp3s |
| 00:40.17 | ChipX86 | I still have plenty of old artist and record label contacts |
| 00:40.23 | ChipX86 | I don't want that |
| 00:40.26 | ChipX86 | I don't want just a geek station either |
| 00:40.30 | TD | no. it's not the same as a live broadcast |
| 00:40.34 | ChipX86 | I want 24/7 music with regular shows on various tpoics |
| 00:40.43 | TD | and a pony |
| 00:40.44 | TD | ;) |
| 00:40.50 | ChipX86 | it's doable |
| 00:40.56 | ChipX86 | we have the multiple shows on WOPN/FNR |
| 00:41.04 | pagefault | bandwidth is cheap when you can find it |
| 00:41.16 | TD | it's the 24/7 music that's hard |

| 00:41.40 | ChipX86 | that's hilarious and sad |
| 00:41.48 | ChipX86 | for ROTSS |
| 00:41.51 | ChipX86 | using the name |
| 00:41.58 | pagefault | from the american one? |
| 00:42.01 | pagefault | I meamn |
| 00:42.03 | ChipX86 | G4TechTV thinks they own "screen savers" |
| 00:42.05 | pagefault | err mean |

| 00:53.25 | pagefault | yeah it looks like windows xp with ugly theme installed |
| 00:53.28 | ChipX86 | yeah |
| 00:53.49 | pagefault | I guess the '3d gui' isn't done yet |
| 00:53.58 | ChipX86 | it won't be impressive |
| 00:54.10 | ChipX86 | it's clear that they don't have anybody over there anymore who is an expert in UI and graphics design |
| 00:54.29 | ChipX86 | sometime during this long beta cycle, we should have seen at least one decent UI |

| 01:04.43 | ChipX86 | this interview with the H2G2 exec. producer makes me feel better |
| 01:04.56 | ChipX86 | If Mike's had been representative of all the fans I know who have seen the movie then I would be a very worried man. Indeed I would be looking for a hideaway somewhere very remote without any internet access for a few years. |
| 01:05.01 | ChipX86 | But thankfully of people who have actually seen the film, whose opinions I really respect, Mike has so far been a lone voice. Those closest to Douglas, his family, Ed Victor his long time friend and literary agent, many of his former colleagues, the actor who played the original Marvin, to name but a few, all loved the movie. |
| 01:06.03 | file | cool, I've actually got a real license for Outlook |

| 01:06.50 | ChipX86 | Will the full trilogy (5 books) be made or is it being played by ear to see how the first goes? |
| 01:06.53 | ChipX86 | RS: Let's see how much people enjoy this first one, but it's a big Galaxy out there.... |
| 01:06.56 | ChipX86 | huh. I thought this movie was all 5 books |
| 01:07.04 | file | it is, honest |
| 01:07.07 | numist | ChipX86: there were only plans with douglas adams to make the first |

| 01:14.24 | darth_mall | hehe |
| 01:18.53 | ChipX86 | he asked why his program was crashing a certain way only at certain times. I told him it's a corrupt stack. He thought that meant it was a compiler bug |
| 01:19.38 | darth_mall | rofl |
| 01:20.00 | darth_mall | obviously the only thing that accesses the stack is the compiler so that it can allocate your memory for you |
| 01:20.14 | darth_mall | dynamic memory allocation is a myth |

| 01:21.38 | ChipX86 | when I first met him, he told me how he was all into beowulf clusters. Turns out that meant that he just read about them, and put I think two pentiums together into a barely working cluster |

| 01:23.21 | numist | played with |

| 01:23.41 | numist | installed, mainly |
| 01:23.48 | numist | nothing fancy |
| 01:23.50 | darth_mall | heh... ok... apparently I did know what a beowulf cluster is ^^ |

| 01:24.44 | numist | found a sony one for cheap... they well-supported? |

| 01:25.20 | ChipX86 | they should all just work |
| 01:25.35 | pagefault | never tried dual layer in linux though |
| 01:25.43 | numist | Just Work(tm)? |
| 01:25.48 | numist | yeah, itll be dual layer.. |
| 01:25.57 | pagefault | discs still too expensive |
| 01:25.59 | pagefault | $20 for 3 |
| 01:26.00 | numist | just never done burning of any sort under linux before |

| 01:26.10 | numist | $20 for 3? thats not right... |
| 01:26.15 | ChipX86 | for dual layer, yeah |
| 01:26.22 | numist | ouch |
| 01:26.22 | ChipX86 | single layer is much much cheaper |
| 01:26.32 | numist | burners are reverse compat I imagine... |
| 01:26.34 | pagefault | single layer is like $20 for 50 |
| 01:26.39 | numist | hmm :/ |
| 01:26.52 | darth_mall | scanline found single layers much cheaper than that, IIRC |
| 01:27.04 | pagefault | yeah |
| 01:27.07 | ChipX86 | yeah |

| 01:28.00 | numist | well, Ill be getting enough rw's to backup a machine, and some r's to copy some dvds |
| 01:28.10 | numist | guess Ill have to vobcompress them to fit on single layer though |
| 01:28.38 | pagefault | yeah |
| 01:28.48 | pagefault | some movies fit on single layer though |
| 01:28.51 | numist | true |
| 01:28.54 | pagefault | if you take out the stuff you don't want |
| 01:29.04 | numist | ok, so I should just buy this sony, quit biatching, and itll just work? |

| 01:29.09 | ChipX86 | yay for commercials with clipped audio |
| 01:29.17 | numist | cool |
| 01:29.46 | darth_mall | that's something of a dangerous assumption in my experience |

| 01:30.42 | numist | <_< |
| 01:38.00 | darth_mall | wow... it's late |

| 01:49.32 | ChipX86 | and they won't accept just part of it now? |
| 01:49.56 | kergoth | if i dont pay the full amount by friday, it'll be at the point where they'd only accept the full amount of the mortgage |
| 01:50.01 | kergoth | which is what, $110k ors o |
| 01:50.06 | ChipX86 | ow |
| 01:50.18 | kergoth | and my credit isnt good enough to refinance to get another loan company to buy it off of them |

| 02:13.48 | kergoth | hopefully i'll get ahold of them tomorrow |
| 02:13.54 | numist | you couldnt today? |
| 02:14.03 | kergoth | i left her like 3 voice mails |
| 02:14.07 | numist | 0_o |
| 02:14.07 | kergoth | she was supposedly in the office |
| 02:14.10 | kergoth | :\ |
| 02:14.28 | numist | worst part is businesses in america can get away with that.. damn people have no souls |
| 02:16.19 | kergoth | if i dont have that cash by friday, the house is gone. my dad's living there now, so he'd have to find another place, and i'd have to find anotehr place to stay when i move back |
| 02:17.42 | ChipX86 | can't he help? |
| 02:18.22 | kergoth | even with his help, its possible we wont have enough to cover it |
| 02:18.30 | kergoth | just dont know yet |
| 02:18.56 | kergoth | i wouldnt expect it to be much more than, say, $6k or so, for like 3 or 4 months of mortgage payments and the fees, but who knows |

| 06:28.27 | lurgy | yeah |
| 06:28.33 | lurgy | satan's got his hand in a lot of things these days |
| 06:28.40 | lurgy | not the least of which is MS Comic Sans |
| 06:33.11 | purple_cow | as much as i hate academia, i think i could dig a research position |
| 06:35.06 | lurgy | :) |
| 06:35.45 | purple_cow | it's really a lot of fun making money by solving problems which have absolutely no practical use whatsover |
| 06:38.23 | rioter | heh |
| 06:41.09 | lurgy | isn't that what academia is all about? :) |
| 06:42.02 | purple_cow | well, some people try to solve problems that have some meaning |
| 06:42.36 | lurgy | hehe |
| 06:42.37 | lurgy | hmm |
| 06:42.47 | lurgy | meaningful problems that have no practical use |
| 06:44.11 | ChipX86 | I should make an applet for tracking packages |
| 06:46.50 | ChipX86 | *grin* heard something earlier that made me smile quite a bit |
| 06:47.01 | lurgy | did it involve grapefruit? |
| 06:47.06 | lurgy | grapefruit makes me smile |
| 06:47.06 | ChipX86 | it did, actually |
| 06:47.17 | lurgy | yay |
| 06:47.39 | ChipX86 | I was talking to Amanda and said how I'm feeling nervous about Jamie, because it was tihs point in the relationship when Rachael dumped me, and it's an irrational fear, but is there anyway |
| 06:48.20 | ChipX86 | she said that Rachael at this point never talked about me, and yet when she sees Jamie and asks how things are going, she gets this cute, shy but bright smile and starts talking about how great things are with us |
| 06:48.35 | lurgy | aw |
| 06:49.27 | lurgy | but that's good too |
| 06:50.16 | purple_cow | frugimagus? |
| 06:50.34 | lurgy | well, you have animagi which are people who can turn into animals, right? |
| 06:50.59 | lurgy | so i don't see why you couldn't have frugimagi who turn into fruit |
| 06:51.06 | purple_cow | heh |
| 06:51.14 | lurgy | like, say, a grapefruit |
| 06:51.16 | lurgy | or pineapple |
| 06:51.18 | purple_cow | i was thinking "frugimals?" to myself just then |
| 06:53.10 | lurgy | hehe |
| 06:53.32 | lurgy | ChipX86: i'd watch out anyhow |
| 06:53.51 | ChipX86 | ? |
| 06:54.02 | lurgy | ChipX86: if this Amanda character disappears suddenly, and you see a grapefruit nearby where you didn't remember seeing one before, it maybe time to start asking tough questions |
| 06:54.16 | ChipX86 | hmm.. that is a concern.. |
| 06:55.35 | purple_cow | hmm, tough questions |
| 06:56.15 | *** part/#tacobeam JeffM2501 (~jeffm@Patlabor221.active.supporter.pdpc) |
| 06:56.16 | purple_cow | like "what is the gross national product of south lithuslavia?" |
| 06:57.12 | lurgy | yep |
| 06:57.15 | lurgy | that's a pretty hard question |
| 06:57.38 | lurgy | or it could be something about tensile strength of some materials |
| 06:58.04 | ChipX86 | ugh |

| 18:49.18 | darth_mall | l |
| 18:49.20 | Cae | but only due to presentations and projects and normal tests |
| 18:49.30 | Cae | finals aren't for another two weeks or so |
| 18:49.34 | darth_mall | sounds like this week for me^^ |
| 18:50.10 | Cae | just had linguistics; the christian vs non-christian group presented. I was vaguely insulted but not surprised to be. |
| 18:50.36 | Cae | main problem was that all of the presenting group was christian |
| 18:50.50 | Cae | so...the viewpoint was skewed |
| 18:50.57 | darth_mall | that's usually how it works ;) |
| 18:51.16 | Cae | (projects for all groups are how <target group> is viewed and treated by society) |
| 18:51.43 | Cae | ours is gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender |
| 18:52.50 | Cae | iirc, there are also only about two people that aren't christian in our class (maybe more) - me, and the girl that usually sits two seats behind me, whose name I can't remember, who is muslim |
| 18:52.57 | darth_mall | sounds like an episode of Springer... |

| 19:03.16 | ChipX86 | sometimes to a girl's, but far less often. Depends on their status |
| 19:03.18 | darth_mall | Cae: it's a term of endearment or familiarity |

| 19:22.07 | nullpuppy | screening for serenity is alreayd sold out :( |
| 19:22.24 | purple_cow | :( |
| 19:25.45 | Cae | what is serenity? |
| 19:25.51 | purple_cow | Cae: the firefly movie |
| 19:25.59 | purple_cow | mmm, the characters in this show are all so screwed up |
| 19:26.04 | Cae | eh? |
| 19:26.40 | purple_cow | have you been playing hermit again? |
| 19:26.53 | purple_cow | so fox, in their infinite wisdom, cancelled firefly, right? |
| 19:27.03 | Cae | firefly? |
| 19:27.05 | purple_cow | and so they went and got themselves a movie deal |
| 19:27.09 | purple_cow | *gasp* |
| 19:27.15 | pagefault | family guy this sunday |
| 19:27.17 | pagefault | new ones |
| 19:27.20 | pagefault | :) |
| 19:27.37 | Cae | I..uh..never watch fox? |
| 19:27.39 | purple_cow | Cae: only one of the best sci-fi TV shows to happen in a *long* time |
| 19:27.54 | pagefault | too bad scifi or whatever didn't pick it up |
| 19:28.10 | purple_cow | i dunno, scifi has a way of making things crappy |
| 19:28.18 | Cae | what's it about? |
| 19:28.25 | pagefault | wasn't sg-1 on shotime |
| 19:28.28 | pagefault | then it moved to scifi? |
| 19:28.37 | purple_cow | i think you're thinking of lexx :P |
| 19:28.44 | pagefault | oh |
| 19:28.49 | pagefault | that show was always bad :) |
| 19:28.59 | purple_cow | naw, the showtime episodes were ok |
| 19:29.15 | ChipX86 | yay lexx |
| 19:29.15 | pagefault | it was really low budget |
| 19:29.18 | ChipX86 | sg-1 was on fox at first |
| 19:29.24 | purple_cow | Cae: outlaws |
| 19:29.47 | pagefault | like the wild west in space or smth |
| 19:31.19 | purple_cow | Cae: we've got the whole thing on navi - i highly suggest grabbing them asap |
| 19:31.33 | pagefault | they still air it here |
| 19:31.46 | Cae | when not on work machine, sure |
| 19:32.20 | Cae | maybe I'll put it on the windows partition. *something* needs to go there besides 1/1000th of my music collection and WoW |
| 19:32.46 | ChipX86 | yay WoW |
| 19:33.40 | kergoth | yay indeed. |
| 19:33.43 | pagefault | they are still making new episodes of andromeda hah |
| 19:33.51 | ChipX86 | pagefault: what a crappy show |
| 19:33.52 | Cae | addiction! |
| 19:33.59 | pagefault | ChipX86, yeah |
| 19:34.00 | Cae | join suramar, alliance side. |
| 19:34.02 | ChipX86 | Cae: I haven't played in days |
| 19:34.19 | Cae | blasphemer |
| 19:34.21 | pagefault | alliance pshaw |
| 19:34.33 | ChipX86 | too busy and I feel like crap |
| 19:34.37 | ChipX86 | the game's making me nauseas |
| 19:34.50 | ChipX86 | I must say, though, that it kicks ass on a 20.1" widescreen LCD display |
| 19:34.56 | kergoth | sure does :) |
| 19:34.59 | pagefault | I need to try the new pvp though |
| 19:35.01 | pagefault | I haven't yet |
| 19:35.13 | kergoth | ChipX86: what resolution do you have the game at? |
| 19:35.17 | ChipX86 | dunno |
| 19:35.23 | kergoth | i find 1280x768 works best |
| 19:35.39 | kergoth | not as low a framerate as running at the full 1680x1050 or wahtever |
| 19:35.44 | ChipX86 | I'm so glad I'm not at owrk for today's lunch. It sounds like crap |
| 19:35.49 | ChipX86 | of course, my team went for chinese... |
| 19:35.50 | kergoth | but a more correct aspect ratio than 1024 |
| 19:35.56 | kergoth | heh |
| 19:35.56 | ChipX86 | not that that would be good on my stomach right now |
| 19:36.12 | file | eep I'm home |
| 19:36.24 | kergoth | ChipX86: the undead priest is up to 17 now |
| 19:36.25 | kergoth | heh |
| 19:36.52 | pagefault | eep you are back |
| 19:36.58 | Cae | EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP |
| 19:37.20 | ChipX86 | awww, I missed a batch of free HDs |
| 19:37.20 | pagefault | how boring |
| 19:37.25 | kergoth | i dont think its possible to build glibc stealthily. it's too much of a beast |
| 19:37.36 | file | it's a 64-bit build! ooh |
| 19:37.43 | pagefault | more bits! |
| 19:38.01 | Cae | yay bits |
| 19:38.04 | file | indeed, indeed |
| 19:38.11 | Cae | almost as good as stib |
| 19:38.15 | file | and I have to call up a NOC and yell at them |
| 19:38.43 | Cae | non-operating cyborg? |
| 19:38.55 | Cae | kinda pointless to yell at those |
| 19:38.57 | file | Cae: yesss |
| 19:39.02 | file | kergoth: status of house? |
| 19:39.08 | Cae | 1) night elf quests are annoying as hell |
| 19:39.13 | kergoth | file: i need to pay $8k soon |
| 19:39.15 | kergoth | file: :\ |
| 19:39.21 | Cae | 2) if you play a night elf, we can escort you to some other starting area |
| 19:39.46 | file | kergoth: :( |
| 19:40.11 | kergoth | i'm thinking perhaps a human rogue. of all my horde chars, my rogue is the one i most enjoy |
| 19:40.47 | Cae | yes |
| 19:40.56 | ChipX86 | I am hated by the world today |
| 19:41.01 | kergoth | that's not good |
| 19:41.32 | ChipX86 | I feel like crap, missing a meeting, missing a good lunch, going to be sick for H2G2, everything I write is crashing |
| 19:42.00 | nullpuppy | you should take a day off and rest.. |
| 19:42.16 | ChipX86 | I can rest while I work. I have too much I want to get done |
| 19:42.41 | ChipX86 | and the fucking network keeps going down |
| 19:43.31 | nullpuppy | :/ |
| 19:47.00 | Cae | ~cpr ChipX86 |
| 19:47.02 | jbot | ChipX86: <smoochu> :-* |
| 19:47.12 | Cae | jbot: still silent, I see. |
| 19:48.13 | Cae | oof, class |
| 19:51.38 | file | so, I'm the 64-bit maintainer of our Linux+Asterisk distribution... oh goody |

| 20:00.53 | purple_cow | everything looks completely unlike everything else |

| 20:17.57 | GarlicWarrior | I guess I haven't either :) |
| 20:18.01 | purple_cow | dunno when he'll come back |
| 20:18.33 | GarlicWarrior | won't prod and poke on that one... |
| 20:19.14 | GarlicWarrior | BTW happy birthday kergoth. |
| 20:19.35 | kergoth | thanks |
| 20:19.45 | ChipX86 | oh, happy birthday :) |
| 20:22.22 | ChipX86 | man.. I can't owrk. my head feels like it weighs a ton |
| 20:22.54 | ChipX86 | ? |
| 20:23.07 | GarlicWarrior | hehe just kidding |
| 20:23.10 | ChipX86 | i don't get what you're saying |
| 20:23.25 | GarlicWarrior | clean out your ears :) |
| 20:23.34 | ChipX86 | think i'm starting to get feverish |
| 20:23.35 | GarlicWarrior | nevermind... :) |
| 20:24.25 | GarlicWarrior | I got sick staying up too late last week. My advice is to go to bed, if possible. Sickness during final's week is not ideal. |
| 20:24.35 | ChipX86 | I don't go to school |
| 20:24.55 | GarlicWarrior | Aaaah :) |
| 20:25.12 | GarlicWarrior | poor assumption on my part, sorry |
| 20:25.23 | purple_cow | mmmm, what a great show, full of violence and mental illness and great music |

| 21:01.55 | ChipX86 | Microsoft Demands Removal Of Longhorn Images |
| 21:02.03 | ChipX86 | because it's so ugly, or.. ? :P |
| 21:08.01 | numist | haha now I have to see them.. I never saw the shots |
| 21:09.01 | ChipX86 | latest beta: http://www.winsupersite.com/reviews/longhorn_5048_gallery_01.asp |
| 21:09.07 | ChipX86 | they must be embarassed. It's hideous |
| 21:09.58 | ChipX86 | this is the one they presented at WinHEC |
| 21:10.15 | Samy | Cae 1) night elf quests are annoying as hell |
| 21:10.41 | numist | loading realy slow, chip.. /.? |
| 21:10.42 | Samy | [samy@jee ~] grep elf /home/samy/.xchat2/xchatlogs/FreeNode-#tacobeam.log |wc -l |
| 21:10.42 | Samy | <PROTECTED> |
| 21:12.12 | purple_cow | ohh, wow |
| 21:12.22 | numist | ChipX86: still looks better than default gtk themes... basically its a rehashed XP though.. I dont see why anyone should have to pay for it |
| 21:13.04 | ChipX86 | I wouldn't say it looks better than the default gtk theme. The default gtk theme looks like crap, but then, it's a Win95 clone. Win95 looked better than this thing they've barfed up |
| 21:13.21 | numist | I dont know... |
| 21:13.38 | ChipX86 | it's not just the visual style |
| 21:13.43 | ChipX86 | the UI design itself is horrid |
| 21:13.52 | ChipX86 | take a look at explorer real quick |
| 21:13.55 | numist | I dont see anything deadly wrong about it... |
| 21:14.06 | ChipX86 | the menubar is now below toolbars in half the cases |
| 21:14.08 | numist | ok, explorer |
| 21:14.19 | numist | hmm.. that is interesting, but I dont see how that kills anything |
| 21:14.20 | ChipX86 | I can't even figure out what the addressbar now is |
| 21:14.27 | numist | its the pulldown |
| 21:14.30 | ChipX86 | I did't say it kills anything |
| 21:14.38 | ChipX86 | I say it's horrid UI design |
| 21:14.41 | numist | hmm |
| 21:14.53 | numist | maybe theyre hoping itll catch on... theyre probably just doing it to be different |
| 21:15.11 | ChipX86 | every beta has been different from each other and none of htem have been very good looking |
| 21:15.13 | purple_cow | numist: small inconsistencies like that are one of the biggest problems with UIs |
| 21:15.21 | ChipX86 | one of the early ones looked like MacOS X + GNOME |
| 21:15.36 | ChipX86 | except they bastardized it |
| 21:15.43 | ChipX86 | and then they decided to move away from it |
| 21:15.58 | ChipX86 | now it's WinXP with the menubars in new places and other UI inconsistencies |
| 21:16.15 | ChipX86 | I wish I still had the other screenshots from the beta before this. They really had screwed things up with it |
| 21:16.15 | numist | some of the new things are rather handy though, from a windows perspective.. like the disk usage view in my computer: http://www.winsupersite.com/images/reviews/lh5048_26_10.jpg |
| 21:16.31 | ChipX86 | well yeah, I'm not saying the entire OS is bad in every way |
| 21:16.37 | numist | weird folder icons though... :/ |
| 21:16.38 | ChipX86 | but there's no consistency |
| 21:16.48 | numist | haha and the control panel folder is from windows nt4 :P |
| 21:16.54 | numist | well, maybe 2000 |
| 21:17.01 | ChipX86 | it's supposed to be titlebar, menubar, toolbar. That's always been the standard. Now, we have titlebar, some weird addressbar/back button, menubar, toolbar |
| 21:17.10 | ChipX86 | muscle memory is thrown right out the window |
| 21:17.28 | numist | yeah, this is gonna hell on cpu too... |
| 21:17.30 | ChipX86 | and in some of the apps, they combine the toolbar and titlebar |
| 21:17.42 | ChipX86 | they don't show it in these screenshots, but it's sickening |
| 21:18.01 | numist | you see the new close/max/min buttons too? how evil |
| 21:18.34 | numist | your right though, the network window is entirely wrong |
| 21:19.01 | purple_cow | heh |
| 21:19.06 | purple_cow | the close button is one thing they did right |
| 21:19.10 | purple_cow | (making it bigger than the others) |
| 21:19.31 | numist | perhaps.. Id still appreciate buttons that are the same size width as height... |
| 21:19.35 | ChipX86 | I don't like how short it is though |
| 21:19.38 | numist | makes it easier to pinpoint a square |
| 21:19.39 | numist | yeah |
| 21:19.58 | numist | muscle memory and all that.. thisll shoot my dexterity |
| 21:22.15 | ChipX86 | they had some good ideas in this one, but they completely blew the titlebar: http://www.winsupersite.com/images/showcase/4074_ui_07.gif |
| 21:22.18 | ChipX86 | that's an older beta of course |
| 21:22.55 | numist | wow thats terrible |
| 21:23.06 | numist | I hate when apps waste screen pixelage |
| 21:24.20 | numist | lemme guess.. 'classic view' is windows xp style now? :/ |
| 21:24.53 | ChipX86 | probably |

| 22:32.39 | darth_mall | I guess farting is more popular to do into a mic then walking |
