Maxwell Spanker vs. Silver Hammer vs. Annihilatrix, pt. 2

Ok. This is an update and continuation to the thread copied from the old boards.

Update on the taunters:
-JPM: MIA. Presumed eaten by hordes of cannibals in Tennessee.
-STM: Has Stockholm Syndrome for quiet machines; must not be left alone with USB ports.
- Max: The epitome of awesomeness. The standard by which all people should be measured.

Update on the builds:
Maxwell Spanker: ???
Silver Hammer: AMD Phenom II x6 @ 3.2GHz; one 5970. One open PCIe 2.0 slot...
Annihilatrix: "next year"

Winner = Silver Hammer

SNEAKY.......

I'd love to write some long-winded witty response but frankly I can't... I'm laughing too damn hard from reading your post. =))

Perhaps your declaration as winner is a bit… premature to say the least; however, there is good news, they now have medication for that. (Please consult your Doctor.)

Those are bold words I find insolent; considering I am no mere mortal, you should be more wary of making such idle threats.

You cast JPM and his Maxwell Spanker aside thinking there will be no retaliation from him; spreading such lies as you have, claiming he has met his demise at the hands of Cannibals in Tennessee, perhaps you should cancel your subscription to the The Weekly World News and realize that Vampires would have been much more believable, even Zombies would have been better… but Cannibals?!?! I laugh at your lack of imagination and such backwards thinking.

And you thought I was gone for good, spreading such drivel, saying I was suffering from Stockholm Syndrome for no apparent reason; I can assure you that I have had no desire to dress up like Patty Hearst and join the SLA. Mere lies and outrageous claims are all you have and they will not save you.

I have merely been biding my time, planning methodically for the downfall of the Silver Hammer; you claim that we are now enemies once again since my return… then so be it.

The battle shall be a gallant one, claiming the true victor as I. It shall be as the battles of Great Villains’ and their Nemeses… Goliath & David, Professor Moriarty & Sherlock Holmes, Lex Luther & Superman, Dr. Evil and Austin Powers among many others; except this time, it is evil whom shall triumph because good is dumb.

I say, “Cry 'Havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war.”

Oh STM. Your cute and frothy language just doesn't make up for the fact that the Annihilatrix is about as built as Reagan's Star Wars Missile Defense system. Plan in one hand, crap in the other, and see which one gets you a tangible product first...

Once my new toy comes, this machine should probably scare up some credits. It should be a 1M+/day machine when I turn it to Max Credit mode. So there's your bar...

Right. Leave it to you to come up with the least awesome way to invoke a battle. ;)

Still working on her case design :P I will start a thread on her development soon. I hope to have her crunching B4 the next PG event.

When you are finished with her case design, can I try her out for you? You know to see if she's *fully* functional. ;)

You know, evil empires are suffering just like everyone else in these difficult economic times; we’ve had to make cutbacks here and there. Work is slow and I’ve lost some of my best thugs and I don’t know if you realize how difficult it is to find quality henchmen when unemployment is so high; you just can’t hire anyone for the job…

Me, “So tell me about what kind of heists you have been involved in?”

Applicant, “Well, none really.”

Me, “None?! How about any illegal activity in which you were not apprehended?”

Applicant, “Well, once when I was shopping, I forgot to pay for the soda that I grabbed.”

Me, “Okay… shoplifting, that’s a start. How about something truly evil and morally reprehensible?”

Applicant, “I overcharged people for coffee when I worked at Starbucks.”

Me,”I see… well.. thank you for your interest but I’m afraid my organization is unable to use someone with… ahh… your talents.”

*Pushes button on trapdoor to let applicant out.*

“NEXT!”

So you see it’s just not that easy but soon your cheap Silver Plated Hammer WILL meet its demise at the hands of The Annihilatrix!

BBWWWWwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahhahahahaha

Unfortunately, it's needs to be temporarily called the RMA hammer...

Card arrived essentially DOA. Put it in, fans didn't work, didn't vent, and sat at 100C with no load. The minute I tried to do anything more intense than look at my wallpaper-less desktop or open FF, the computer crashed.

Damn!!!

Sooo, STM (a.k.a. Sin The Merciless) has not told the whole truth about his diabolical organization! Tell me STM, how long have you had Gremlins in your employ?

For me, your plight is bittersweet; I had hoped to do battle in a fair fight... at least as fair can be as long as I win of course.

My minions revel in wreaking havoc where ever it can be found, whether it be in the factories of video card makers or RMA offices. :)

This is officially no longer funny. I'm going to double whatever STM is paying F$ and have him head out to Vegas and punch STM in the nuts and stop his minions.

Why am I doing this, you ask? Because the replacement card for the DOA card is also DOA. Ugh. Fortunately, Newegg is giving me free shipping on the dead card and overnighting the new one to me before I have to return the dead on. Thank god.

And if you're curious: It's a dead fan. Again.

LOL The flying out to get me is seriously funny.

It's nice to know my minions are hard at work even when I'm on vacation. :)

Seriously though, sorry to hear about another bad card... Did they send another one yet that works?

It was supposed to be overnighted, but in a holiday week, "overnight" apparently means "5 days".

Yes. The title of this post is "Suck it, STM." What is "it"? My Computer Oriented Crunching Knowledge.

Why, you might ask? Because he and his minions can suck it. It's a technical term describing the inability of him and his evil henchmen (and Fire$torm, maybe...) from keeping the Silver Hammer from, well, hammering.

The hammer: http://setiusa.free-dc.org/vbforum/s...ull=1#post2582

I rule. That is all.:cool:

First, I'm curious if you kiss your Mama with that mouth... And second, it is only a minor setback.

Although your taunting has momentarily struck a nerve ~X(, I found that stepping on several baby chicks and kicking a puppy has made me feel better.

As much as I am tempted to stray from my plan, dipping into my down payment that I have been saving to purchase an island hideaway with a volcano that looks like a skull in which to build my evil lair, I feel that it would be unfair to take such extraordinary funding and build a system that would frankly… embarrass you.

I would much rather laugh >:) at you from high atop my volcano laid once The Annihilatrix is unleashed.

Maxwell, play nice now. The last time we had a loud verbal joust like this half of the really good crunchers on the team decided to leave and many others like myself, JPM and STM decided it was just getting time to take a break from crunching.

I came back, just recently made my target of 40MM and am executing on my plan of going on a sabbatical. Maybe it's just the right time.

That may be due to some of them taking it personally. All this bantering is in jest. Those involved know that their counterparts are just talking smack to get the competitive juices flowing and to keep upgrading their systems. I for one think it is hilarious.
