General Chat / Re: Anyone know how to set up a VPN on a router?

Yes. But your speed is going to suffer if you connect your VPN authenticating computer wirelessly. And you will experience unexpected drops if your activity overwhelms the signal. So, keep the wireless, just hardwire your tower. Use CAT6 if you get a chance.

The ValetPlus is VPN passthrough, not a VPN Router. You can use that plus hamachi as a client to connect (installed on both computers), and you won't need a dynamic dns account.

Otherwise you need a true VPN router and either a static IP address or a dynamic DNS account so you know where to direct your tunnel.

On a surprising note, JohnnyNWR friend requested me last night. I was surprised but graciously accepted lol

Cater, do I need to see if you dropped me? You were my first chat... you never forget your first.

I don't know if I'll be able to hook up with anyone but I now have this game. Ping me if there's an interest in trying to do multiplayer.

Riddick on a cycle, having a pet, being the last of his race, damn near impossible to kill, he's starting to remind me of Lobo from DC Comics.

Reading Ceric's posts can be like putting together a puzzle sometimes.

Flow of thought from Ceric's last post:
Bla bla bla
Oh, Ceric has an Uncle Bob. Coincidence? Let's see how it plays out
He met his Uncle? Okay...
Spambot? Wha, ah, he meant "me", not "my".

Secretly, I was hoping Ceric was claiming ownership of Unclebob.

@bustin98 I've just never cared for the whole superhero genre. I can't suspend disbelief enough for it.

Says the guy who can suspend disbelief long enough to get hooked on Animal Crossing... Maybe he's just a furry...

I'll buy Splinter Cell and Batman on the Wii U, once they drop in price. $10 for SP and $20 for Batman.

I agree with broodwars. The statements from Nintendo and developers back up the basic idea that Nintendo was not ready for HD, nor ready to go live with a complicated system capable of higher graphical effects. Their lag in producing toolsets for developers to take advantage of the WiiU caused many devs to thumb their noses and claim the CPU too slow to run their games, and not see the potential of a GPU based system.

Some parts of Walt's art is awesome, and others just plain bad.

I don't think Hulk declared it as so much as being surprised and announcing it.

In the 80s Marvel Animation was so awesome. But that's thanks to Sunbow. And awesome toys. GI Joe, Transformers, Spiderman and His Amazing Friends, Inhumaniods, Muppet Babies, Visionaries, Jem, probably others. Dungeons and Dragons, can't forget that one

« on: July 16, 2013, 11:42:52 PM »

Yes, I don't think Thor's hand is enough. Thor has to believe he is worthy to hold the hammer, knowing the requirements that come with holding the hammer.

I have been wondering though, exactly what is keeping anyone else from picking it up? I've seen Superman drawn struggling with it, but in what way is the ground strong enough to either keep Superman on his feet or stay glued to the hammer? I'd think Supes could swing the hammer and end up swinging the entire Earth around with it.

How would the hammer know that Thor is not lifting of his own free will? The question is whether or not Thor can command the hammer to not allow him to lift it. In which case Thor's fingers would snap like the chocolate covered candies that they are.

I feel most comfortable in tshirt and jeans and sandals. The shirts I have are mostly comic book related though some are music based (NIN, Lords of Acid). The bad part is due to the width of my shoulders I need XL, and most XL shirts balloon out at the bottom, presumably to make them more comfortable for the fat kids. I feel like I'm wearing pregnancy shirts, but whatever cause I still like what's on the shirt. I have a couple of L shirts, and they fit well around the mid, but the shoulders and chest are way too tight. Damn you fat kids for screwing with the sizing.

At Uncle Bob's Smash Brothers Wii release party in Illinois. Good times. Too bad we seem to be losing our East Coast and mid-west members, we have to do this again.
