…so, anyone up for a game of Monopoly, followed by a Star Trek TNG marathon? Anyone?

Edit: Ten minutes later it’s jumped up to 38%. …still, first episode, anyone?

  1. So.. how does wow run on Linux? Always curious. Are you using Wine?

    Is it stable or does it crash often?

  2. Pike says:

    @ Clayton – I am running it on Wine, and it runs flawlessly. Nice and smooth, no bugs, less graphical glitches than I encounter on WinXP.

    I leveled my first character from 1 to 70 having never once logged into anything BUT WoW on Linux/Wine.

    And I’m proud of it!

    was never a fan of kde. bb/xfce4life!

  4. morkuma says:

    (says the guy running windows)

  5. Kia says:

    I heart TNG. Can we skip to about the fourth season, though, when it starts to get really good?

  6. Taz says:

    My pally and I are currently working our way through TNG from start to finish (again)…If you’ve gotta do a marathon, it’s a great choice!

  7. I see you run KDE–I’m proud of you!

    riker’s beard. second season. that is all.

  9. Pike says:

    @ Morkuma – xfce isn’t bad. Though I always go back to KDE after I play with it for a while. (Every other desktop environment I’ve ever tried, in fact, sends me running back to KDE… *shifty eyes*)

    @ Kia & Taz – now that I’m thinking about it, I really DO have to get a TNG marathon going… hmm. Party at Pike’s place?

    @ Brandon Tilley – KDE for life. It’s never let me down. Unlike, uh, certain others. *sings “We Didn’t Start the Flame War” and runs away*

    @ krizzlybear – OH SNAP

    To be honest, I think I would choose a TNG marathon over WoW any day. Sign me up! :)

  11. Kalvun says:

    I always hated Riker, way too arrogant and pompous. Looks like a human in wow. Worf is the man!!!

  12. Will says:

    Picard > Kirk. There. I said it.

    And while the first couple of seasons each had their gems (“The Battle”; “The Neutral Zone”; “The Measure of a Man”; “Q Who”, to name a few), I daresay that the third season is really where the show got going.

    It’s impossible for me to pick a favorite episode; even a top ten would be extremely difficult.

    WoW, herps, Next Generation… I like you more and more with each post, it seems. :D

  13. Trinia says:

    TNG is win. I’d gladly join you there. <3

    *finds her first season DVDs* :D

    Hope your download finishes soon, by the way. The downloader is always worse when you're awake anyway. When I did a full installation (for Windows mind-you) from the internet downloader from Blizzard, it took maybe half the night and it was done. *shrug*

  14. Hooflungdung says:

    Haha, that’s terrible! I remember when I got my new laptop and tried downloading WoW on it, I set it to download before I went to bed, and it was 6% in the morning. :( No fun at all.

  15. Nordrus says:

    Amarok!! Best music player ever!

  16. Melkorka says:

    Now why watch the good old TNG for the millionth time when you can spend an endless amount of time watching new fan made TNG remixes on youtube?

    :D

  17. Rhii says:

    Late to the party here, but ME ME ME ME ME!!!! I wanna come to the TNG marathon!

    Riker = first remembered childhood crush. :)

  18. Pike, I just had to install windows 7 on a new SSD, and that included a new wow install.

    Instead of running the install from the wow window – I downloaded the 1.5Gb patch directly from a gaming website – far quicker than than the streamed version that wow does.

    I found mine on ausgamers.com.

  19. Pookii says:

    I have a better idea. In fact, I’d say it’s pure genius! Let’s just watch Firefly, followed by Serenity! You know, they have the movie on Netflix’s Instant Play!

    /bounds over to her desktop!
