    Congrats MonsE.

    Hopefully one day every forumite will be as happy as you and your wife are.

    Even Burr.

    If you weren't 2800 miles away, I'd come MonsE.


    I'd stop on my way in Chicago and grab you some Portillos and a Gino's Deep Dish...

    If I saw that..

    That's one sweet house. Maybe someday I'll have a one of my own. After my 18th birthday in december :/

    Though be careful who you invite there to your housewarming party. You won't have a house after all the bablers from NS forums are done <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Nice house!! It looks like a really nice neighborhood too. Someday, about 20 years from now when I graduate college (Im a super senior now, woot!!), I too will own a nice house with a basement, and a fade in the shower....

    Hell with the basement, I just want the fade <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    :O

    Wow, very nice house Monse!

    I hope you and the mrs. are happy with it when it gets build. Heaven knows you've worked hard enough to deserve the $ to buy it. :P

    And good choice on having it pre-wired :D

    Any plans for running a T1 to it while you're still rolling in dough? :P

    I actually ran that by her, as a T1 has gotten relatively inexpensive lately. Got denied by Commander Lisa... <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'><!--endemo-->

    That Fade pic is friggin' awesome. LMPO. Instead of having a shotty in every room, I just run around the house skipping and jumping and attaching mines to everything. Oh, and I have a siege cannon in the garage for door-to-door salesmen.

    Thanks everyone - very cool replies.

    PS: 10% of all Constellation contributions now go to the 'We Are Obsessed with Burr' fan club.

    Jesus Monse. I don't read the off topic forums for a week or 2 and come back here to find myself laughing with tears 7 pages of posts later.
    Most definitely miss having you on irc, but as it's apparent, you've got a great thing going for you. Congradulations on the house.

    Oh. If you do have a housewarming party open to NSers, I wouldn't miss it.
  • MonsieurEvilMonsieurEvil Join Date: 2002-01-22 Member: 4Members, Retired Developer, NS1 Playtester, Contributor
    I really need to stop back into IRC at some point. I'm sorry for being gone from there for so long guys, I just needed a break. I will hopefully poke my head back in this week in the evening if I get out of class early.

    I need some sort of NS easter egg in the new house. Any suggestions? <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Well, you've got several options.
    Name a room the "noname room"
    Have a "Vanilla <s>Ice</s> Coil" or "Flaytona 500" poster
    and finally, one word says it all: "plush"
  • MonsieurEvilMonsieurEvil Join Date: 2002-01-22 Member: 4Members, Retired Developer, NS1 Playtester, Contributor
    Awesome!

    Hmm. Well there's an HVAC room in the basement I could call 'Ventilation'. I'm sure I could also call the master bedroom the 'Readyroom' <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> . Naturally my office is the CC, and if I make the CC loading sound be my startup wav for my PC then I'm all set there. What if I changed the doorbell to play a kharaa chuckle? <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I did buy 2 NS posters from the NS Store that I can frame up and put in the basement den. I need more ideas!

    Look at November 7ths joke on Ebaumsworld. It owns <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> (still on the front page atm)

    The salesman usually stands at the door for long enough constantly buzzing the bell that the siege cannon would probably be able to target him.

    If you want to make a bomb shelter in the backyard make sure you make the walls out of CC alloy..dam that stuffs strong.
  • DreadDread Join Date: 2002-07-24 Member: 993Members
    Fridge = Armory
    Shower = phasegate
    TV = observatory(you need a satellite disc on the roof)
    Dining room = messhall
    Favourite couch/seat(must be comfy&big) = teh CC

    And you must pain the basement walls completely black, add flickering red/white lights and put some moving cardboard Kharaa around there. For shooting practice(with paintball weps) of course <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    And you have to cover all basement windows(if any) with blue/black paper/plastic that has small spot, so it looks like a ship in space. The small holes being stars(for slow witted people) <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Make the doorbell play, "The Enemy Approaches".

    and when you start up the computer, "This is my hive. There are many like it but this one is mine"
