HAWK TALK - Hack the Planet

## Episode Description

This would usually be a skip week, but the world is still being a jerk, so we made you a bonus, entirely unedited, and almost entirely off-topic episode. This time, in honor of the 1995 film’s 1337-week anniversary, we talked about the finest movie about technology ever made, *Hackers*.

## Topics, roughly

* Hackers
* Mister The Plague
* What David Bowie and Angelina Jolie have in common
* Razor & Blade
* The glory of Matthew Lillard
* Counterculture
* Queer (sub)text
* Focal characters
* Jay’s sequel pitch

In retrospect, we should have talked way more about Phreak, played amazingly by Renoly Santiago. Sorry, Renoly! That’s what we get for doing Hawk Talk without our usual outlines.

Trollowy niedźwiedź

**Trollowy niedźwiedź** – zwierzę występujące w Jotunheimie. Wyglądem
 przypomina normalnego niedźwiedzia, lecz jest od niego dużo większy.
Niedźwiedź ten ma ok. 4 m wysokości. Jedno z tych stworzeń stoczyło
walkę z Olafem Jednobrewym, w której to wiking zabił zwierzę, ale sam
został śmiertelnie ranny. Podobno są to, zaraz po smokach,
najgroźniejsze zwierzęta w Jotunheimie.
Poker Game Types

HeroPoker offers
Texas Hold’em and Pot Limit Omaha. In Hold’em players each receive two (hidden)
hole cards and need to make the best possible hand with any of their cards and
the community cards dealt face up on the table as the betting rounds progress.
In Omaha players are dealt four (hidden) hole cards and must use two of these
cards with a combination of the community cards to make their best possible
hand.
Dealing Cards and Betting Rounds

After any initial
cards are dealt, players are usually called upon to act in turn, moving
clockwise around the table.

When it is their
turn to act players have the following options:

Check – players can
only check when there is no bet during the current round, and the act of
checking passes the action clockwise to the next person in the hand. If all
active players check, the round is considered complete.

Bet – players may
bet if no other players have bet during the current round.

Fold – players who
fold forfeit their cards and cannot win or act again during the current hand.

Call – players can
call if other players have bet during the current round; this requires the
calling player to match the highest bet made.

Raise – players may
raise if other players have bet during the current round; this requires the
raising player to match the highest bet made, and make a subsequent bet.

Additional
community cards which are visible, may be dealt after each betting round has
finished, changing the best poker hand that each player may make with the cards
available to them.

our booth towards the end. Hero Poker definitely made it rain and it was epic!

Rachel and Miles Review the X-Men, Episode 45

==Episode Description==
In which Cassandra Nova is the stuff of nightmares, Inferno remains stellar, Age of Apocalypse is a blast from the past, and everything is late because Rachel is in Alaska (sorry!).

## Jay's Addendum

Hi! This is Rachel. I'm in the captions this week, because I'm also in Alaska! First person to make a Madelyne Pryor joke gets perma-banned.

HI, MILES! I miss you.

*[Age of Apocalypse #1]*

The original Age of Apocalpyse was my first X-comic. (There's probably a cautionary tale in that). (Mommas, don't let your babies grow up to be X-Perts).

(Talking about the art) Sandoval is very, very much doing Bachalo, isn't he?

FACT: Age of Apocalypse is the glammest timeline. So glam. Seriously. You cannot even fathom.

(After a Super Doctor Astronaut Peter Corbeau reference) Let's just take the theme music as read. I'm tired, and iMovie is terrible. I sort of just assume that [Corbeau is] always htere, just off panel. Watching us. Judging us.

(After Miles says all of his 90's dreams are coming true) WAIT DOES THIS MEAN YOU MADE OUT WITH CLARISSA DARLING? Because I am pretty sure that was near the top of the list. (Oh, like you DIDN'T have a crush on her, '90s kids). (We all did. Just own it).

(Miles wasn't sure if Cypher appeared in the original AoA) HE TOTALLY DID. He was Destiny's adopted kid in X-Calibre. He died. In a reasonable universe Cypher would have the most useful power in the X-Men.

*[Inferno #3]*

(On Inferno not making sense if you hadn't read the original) But then, that's kinda Inferno in a nutshell.

There are dragons. It's pretty cool.

Seriously? I totally did [see Colossus as a facially expressive character]. Colossus is all about the feels. Organic Steel Feels.

(On the Secret Wars alternate universe stories) It's a really clever trick for simultanously raising and lowering the narrative states of every story.

Can we talk about how Hopeless writes Domino? SO WELL. And that is SO RARE. And it makes me SO HAPPY.

*[X-Men '92 (Infinite Comic) #4]*

CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLAIMER: Chris is my best friend. We are characters in this book, YMMYV, &c.

SECONDED. If you have to choose print or digital on this, go digital.

For more on the story behind X-Men '92, listen to Episode 59 - X is for Xtinction, featuring Chad Bowers & Chris Sims.

(Miles mentions Cassandra Nova's psysic construct) The Mind Field, dude. It's called the Mind Field.

(Their characters in X-Men '92 aren't in this specific issue) I guess you could write letters to someone? Or just draw us in with markers. Probably that would be easier.

*[Pick of the week]*

(Inferno is Miles' pick of the week) No, I dig. Good pick. It's really strong, especially for a mid story issue.

Rachel here! I'm in Alaska! This is the view from a mountain I hiked up on Thursday. Seriously, this state is just ludicrously senic. I mean, look at these ridiculous mountains. LOOK AT THEM. My pick of the week is this Labrador Retriever. His name is Rocky, and we are bros.

Betting Limits

Betting limits
refer to the amount players may open and raise. Typically, poker games are of
the following limit types; no limit, pot limit and fixed limit.

No Limit – in poker
games with a no limit betting structure, each player can bet or raise by any
amount up to and including their full stack (the total number of chips they
possess at any given time) in any betting round, whenever it is their turn to
act.

Pot Limit – in
poker games with a pot limit betting structure, each player can bet or raise by
any amount up to and including the size of the total pot at that time.

Fixed Limit – in
poker games with a fixed limit betting structure, each player can choose to
call, bet or raise, but only by a fixed amount. The fixed amount for any given
betting round is set in advance.
Rules of Poker

Poker games
typically feature a forced bet, such as the Small Blind and Big Blind in
Hold’em and Omaha. This forced bet makes up the starting pot in any given hand
of poker, and is the first incentive players have to win the hand. Action
arising from the subsequent rounds of betting further increases the size of the
pot and the amount you can win.
COMMUNITY

At HeroPoker we are actively looking at sponsoring grass roots sporting competitive teams for the benefit of local communities. We aim to sponsor up and coming athletes and sports which exhibit the drive and desire to ‘Be Epic’. To that end we have focused on the up and coming sport of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu as well as grass roots competitive football / soccer in the Philippines.

From tournaments to teams and individual fighters, HeroPoker isn’t seeking the best, rather we’re looking to support the ones with the courage and drive to be better than the best, the ones who are willing to leave it all out on the field for that one moment of glory.

A Hero isn’t a Hero because they were meant to win, a Hero is a Hero because they weren’t meant to win, but despite the odds, the naysayers and the haters, they changed minds, won the hearts and got the glory. To ‘Be Epic’ is all about heart and the will to make a mark, and that is what HeroPoker is looking for in our sponsorship activities.

**Highlights from the 2013 Asia Pacific Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Tournament at The Mall of Asia, Manila, Philippines and the Manila Tala Football Club**
LEVELS

HeroPoker believes that loyalty comes first with good faith and understanding. Much like getting on the field with your team or going into battle, we go in understanding that we all will put our best foot forward. HeroPoker has gone to great lengths to provide the best service as well as extensive investment to grow the network and keep the game epic. We aren’t looking for mercenaries, we’re looking for Heroes and we recognize that commitment goes both ways.

HeroPoker gives our players a means to move up the ranks of experience and rewards by providing a transparent rewards system that offers value no matter what your level of playing volume and playing schedule.

Unlike other sites where you need to sign your soul to Hades for a year or have to know someone from the secret society of Swedish poker underground, HeroPoker only asks that you give it your best shot over a period of 3 months, in which case, your level will be set for the next 12 months! And if you ever want to move up, just take another 3 month shot at the next level.

Experience Points (XP) are gained for every $1 and depending upon the level, you’ll be able to exchange a percentage of these XP points every month for cash. XP points can also be used at The Forge, our VIP Loyalty Store to acquire limited edition exclusive HeroPoker merchandise, or as buy-in’s to tournaments at an exchange rate.

In addition to the cash back each month, the higher your tier, the faster you are awarded non-cash back XP which are added to your monthly balance at The Forge VIP Loyalty Store and tournament buy-ins!

Whether you start from being a farmer to making it to being the Emperor of all you can see, it all starts here.

**QUICK FACTS**

200 points earned per $1 USD raked equivalent.

Tournament Redemption: 4000 points for $1 USD equivalent.

Cash Back will be auto redeemed to the max amount per month

Players have 3 months to acquire a new VIP loyalty level.
Giles Kuternoga

**Giles Kuternoga** – ojciec Jacka i Lucy.

## Życiorys

Młode lata życia nie są znane, wiadomo tylko, że gdy był młodzieńcem miał wypadek, przez który kuleje na jedną z nóg, stąd przydomek Kuternoga. Jego żona urodziła mu 6 dzieci, ale 4 zmarły. Giles jest straszną zrzędą. Jego największym marzeniem było zostać mnichem, lecz jego rodziców nie było stać na wejściowe do opactwa. Jest zagorzałym chrześcijaninem. W wieku młodzieńczym był na Świętej Wyspie, gdzie mnisi próbowali uleczyć jego kalectwo. Wiele razy opowiadał dzieciom co tam jadł: budyń z gałką muszkatołową i śmietaną, pudding jarzębinowy, ciasta z renklodami, omlety z marmoladą truskawkową, ciasto wiśniowe i słodki krem. Często opowiadał swojej córce historie, w których ona jest zagubioną księżniczką, a on ją odnajduje. Nie przepada za magią i mówi, że ci którzy ją używają na pewno trafią do piekła.
Sheldon J. Plankton

Sheldon J. Plankton is the main antagonist of the popular cartoon series *SpongeBob SquarePants*. and its first film, *Pac-Man's Adventures of The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie*. But despite being an antagonist in the series and the movie, he had a role as an anti-hero in the sequel, *Pac-Man's Adventures of The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water*. He is an evil zooplankton and the business rival and personal archenemy of Eugene Krabs, the owner of the Krusty Krab where SpongeBob SquarePants works. While the Krusty Krab is popular among the sea creatures of Bikini Bottom, Plankton's own restaurant, the Chum Bucket, has very few customers. Plankton's plans all revolve around stealing the elusive "Krabby Patty Secret Formula" so he can copy it and make the Chum Bucket popular. He lives inside his restaurant, where he has an elaborate laboratory and a computer "wife" named Karen. He is voiced by Doug Lawrence.

W 782 r. n.e. urodziła syna Jacka, a sześć lat później wydała na świat córkę Lucy. W wcześniejszych czasach powiła czwórkę dzieci, lecz wszystkie zmarły.

POKER RULES

Poker is the name given to a range of
card games in which players’ hands are ranked by the cards available to them,
whether held individually or shared by multiple players. Poker games may vary
in the number of cards dealt, the hand rankings used, the number of hidden and
shared cards available, the number of rounds of betting offered and the betting
procedures followed. The winner of each hand of poker is the player that holds
the best ranking hand when all cards are shown – this is known as “showdown” –
or the player that makes the last uncalled bet, thus winning without needing to reach showdown.
May

At the age of 10, May traveled from her hometown of Petalburg City to Littleroot Town to see Professor Birch. As a friend of her father's, he had agreed to give her one of three Pokémon; a Treecko, a Torchic, or a Mudkip, so that she could become a Pokémon Trainer. However, when she arrived, she found that the Hoenn Pokémon Professor had gone after an ill Pikachu belonging to Ash Ketchum. She went to look for the Professor, only to find him stuck in a tree and about to be attacked by a group of angry Poochyena. His only hope was for May to get a Pokémon out of his bag and use it to fend off the Poochyena. However, May, who was inexperienced at commanding Pokémon, only got water sprayed in her face by the Mudkip she pulled out. Professor Birch then commanded the Mudkip and scared off the Poochyena. The experience was less than pleasant for May. She chose Torchic as her Starter and joined ash on his jourbey.

Current Pokemon on Her Team:

```
Blaziken (evolved from Combusken, which evolved from Torchic.)
Munchlax (caught.)
Wartortle (evolved from squirtle, given to by Prof. Oak when in Kanto.)
Glaceon (evolved from Eevee in Snowpoint city, hatched from Pokemon Egg.)
Other Pokemon:
Beautifly (evolved from Silcoon, which evolved from Wurmple.)
Skitty (caught.)
Venusaur (evolved from Ivysaur, which evolved from Bulbasaur, both at unknown times, caught.)

STARTING HANDS

It is a known fact that pocket Aces are the absolute best hand to have before the flop in Texas Hold’em, but ranking the actual exact winning percentage of each poker hand against a random opponent’s cards becomes all too unclear. It is good to actually see how specific starting hand combinations rank against each other in terms of how much and how often they win on average.

Below is a list of Texas Hold’em starting hands organized by relative strength. See how the cards you play rank.

==HOLD’EM STARTING CARDS RANKED BY WINNING PERCENTAGE==

The following tables below contain every 2-card possible combination you can be dealt in Texas Hold’em. The hands are arranged by largest hole card and first include a section of pairs. Each hand will be followed by its long-term winning percentage against a specific number of opponents holding random cards. To find a hand, look it up by its largest card.

Average Winning Percentage (out of 100) with Pairs

Average Winning Percentage (out of 100) with Ace-x

Note: suited cards add an average of 3%

Average Winning Percentage (out of 100) with King-x
Note: suited cards add an average of 3%

## Welcome to the Public History Norrath Wikia

MMO worlds have a history, and that history merits study and documentation. This Wikia hopes to collect stories about MMOs from the people who played, built, and experienced these digital worlds.

We hope that people will create pages about their characters. Tell us stories about your experience, such as the first time you grouped with a friend, a memorable raid, or the feelings you had when you discovered a cool item or a neat landscape.

The focus is primarily on Everquest and Everquest II, but all stories are welcome.

Treebranch

Kelethin was unique, in that it existed in the trees of another zone. The amount of freedom at higher levels with levitate and SoW was unparalleled. Also, on Tunare specifically, the auction community set up shop there. We had "gBay", not the Commonlands tunnel.

* South Karana

South Karana had Splitpaw and the Aviak village - places where I met friends that I would keep for years. Early in my adventures, maybe around level 12, I was camping the claw monoliths around Splitpaw. Two players who were passing by threw me a full set of Banded Armor and wished me well. About a month later, I would join their guild - the Watchkeepers. I eventually became an officer, a raid leader, and made friends that I still have to this day.

* Dreadlands

The Dreadlands is just an amazing "introduction" to Kunark in a way. The druid and wizard spires sit far away from the other zones, and the transition in climates makes for a beautiful journey. It's just one of those things that years ago left an impression for its beauty. I still remember my first time porting into the druid ring there and running across the wastes dodging Gorenaire.

* Eastern Wastes

Eastern Wastes is where most of the Coldain Ring quests occur. It's just a wonderful introduction to Velious. Ry'Gorr orcs, Kael Drakkal, Lodizal, and the Tower of Frozen Shadow. Tons of content all in one zone. I helped a lot of people with Coldain Rings and Prayer Shawls in that zone.

The Dark Phoenix Saga

The **Dark Phoenix Saga** is an early and well-loved storyline from the silver age of the X-Men. It details the resurrection and corruption of Jean Grey by the Phoenix Force, complicating her romance with Cyclops, and ending with her death in issue #137, considered by Jay and Miles (and many others) to be the definitive issue of *X-Men*. Elements of the story were later heavily retconned.

* Episode 012 - Inner Circle Jerk (the beginning of the primary Dark Phoenix arc)
* Episode 013 - Last Stand on the Moon (the conclusion of the saga)
* Episode 021 - Kurt Busiek at the Coffee-a-Go-Go (Kurt reveals he is responsible for the great Phoenix retcon)

Cochy

First contested I ever killed was Vision of Vox.

* **Thundering Steppes**

The Thundering Steps were the great unknown to a new character who was stuck killing scarecrows in Antonica. I wanted to get to TS and when I finally got there it just seemed huge with mobs that conned red and would kill me instantly.

* **The Feerott**

I saw Genesis of Highkeep kill Vaz'Gok and from that moment I knew I wanted to be a top end raider.

* **Qeynos**

EQ2 was the first MMO I ever played, I was playing around in the newbie zones trying to figure out everything. The game seemed huge and everything was new.
Allyson

**Allyson** – saska, matka Thorgil.

## Życiorys

Allyson była saską. Porwał ją Thorgrim i uczynił swoim *thrallem*. Allyson urodziła mu syna, którego berserker zabił w amoku. Później urodziła Thorgil, lecz Thorgrim jej nie zaakceptował, bo chciał syna. Po tym jak Thorgrim umarł w bitwie, Allyson spłonęła na jego statku pogrzebowym.
Charity

Poker is a social game that is about having a strong community
support. To that end, HeroPoker will be actively donating to charities that are
about actively empowering individuals to bring about social good. Life isn't
just about effort or skill, but life needs a helping hand to get to the next
level. People need a chance to be more than just what cards have been dealt to
them. In short, we are looking to do our small part to seek out those who, given the right circumstance are able to reach their full potential. Not
everyone is born lucky, but everyone should be given a chance to be great.
Vainamoinen

My wife and I had been questing quite a bit in Antonica and believed that this was the extent of the world in EQ2. We had received a quest in Thundering Steppes and believed that this was the area around the Thundering Steppes Griffon Tower. When we did eventually find the zone line into the Thundering Steppes and zoned in, we were amazed that the size of our "world" had just doubled.

* Ruins of Varsoon

I ran the Ruins of Varsoon quite regularly on my Paladin. There were so many Heritage Quest updates in the Ruins that people were regularly looking for groups there. I learned much of the fundamentals of tanking helping groups get their quest updates and would continue to help people there well past the level cap (mentoring down). I could likely run the zone in my sleep ;)

* Jarsath Wastes

Jarsath wastes was the first expansion I was at level cap to experience & familiar enough with the game to appreciate the novelty of an expansion. Out of curiousity, I ventured through Kylong Plains, Kunzar Jungle and eventually to Jarsath Wastes in order to see as much as I could on the first day of release. As a geologist, I was very impressed with the detail to landscape, especially the volcanoes and lava fields of Skyfire Mountains. I was also amazed by the size of structures like Ganak's Battlements and the Hurculean Ramparts.

* Qeynos

Qeynos was the city in which I created my first character (Vainamoinen), more specifically in Nettleville.

Although a more recent event, one of the more memorable things that happened in Qeynos was when Vain received his Knight-Captain title. I had been putting off getting this it for quite some time, so finally getting around to obtaining the faction with the Qeynos Guard and receiving the title was something I considered a big accomplishment. It also helped show how loyal my toon was tot the city he had been "born" in.

Renataki

I just found the city beautiful. A very faithful recreation of the original, but with updated graphics. Also, it was all one zone, compared to Freeport and Qeynos.

* Commonlands

I started my leveling process in Commonlands. My first groups were there and I mastered Charm in that zone. At one point there was a GM event where I brought a lot of orc weaponry back to an NPC and received a unique orc follower pet.

* Jarsath Wastes

Jarsath Wastes is just a very beautiful zone and I found it to be an excellent recreation of Skyfire and the Overthere. I had to finish my epic quest in that zone - down in the Howling Stones dungeon, and then later on in Chelsith.

* Castle Mistmoore

The original Castle Mistmoore was a lot of fun. It's an excellent zone with a fun villain and a lot of backstory. EQ2 kept that. At one point, I was raiding with Dominatus and we took down the "contested" version of Mayong Mistmoore. It took forever and was a ridiculously difficult fight. A couple years later, I soloed him on my shadowknight. /sad trombone

Goodman's Rune Library

## Summary

Goodman -- real name Frank Campbell -- managed a rune library in Ultima Online. The library required significant maintenance and upkeep.

Frank Campbell died on August 30, 2005. Upon his death, friends of Goodman/Campbell coordinated to preserve Goodman's library. They took over maintenance of the library, and they converted the roof into a memorial rose garden. In the garden, players leave objects and sign books to memorialize Goodman/Campbell's life (as well as the lives of others who have died).

Every year, around August 30, players meet on on Magincia Beach, Trammel, at Goodman's Memorial Library for a memorial service to remember Goodman and others who have fallen. The 2010 service is on Youtube.

## Goodman's Rune Library

Details of the rune library as of 2010

* **Owner:** Andrasta
* **Shard:** Atlantic
* **Facet:** Tokuno Islands
* **Coordinates:** 38o 14'N, 38o 44'W
* **Directions:** Go NW from Zento Moongate to the first road, turn right.
* **Type:** Rune Library
* **Operational Status:** Open

## Details from UO Guide

Goodman's Rune Library is the legacy of Frank Campbell aka Lord Goodman who established his library on the shores of Magincia Beach. First on the facet of Felucca and later on the same beach in Trammel. Various locations over the years included branches in the Player Cities of Wintermoor & Dalriada, a Castle in Trammel, Luna and finally the deep Forest of Malas.

The Library continues to evolve and serve the Players of Atlantic. Proceeds donated to the library support the Libraries daily operational needs which are small and the lion's share goes to enrich the People of Atlantic.

Donations and support that are made to the Library are donated to worthy causes & prize monies to support the Community of Atlantic. Goodman's Rune Library looks for players and organizations that clearly contribute to the community by supporting new ideas and events for players to participate in.

ABOUT PROS

The poker pro or professional has been around since the game of poker was established. Those players who were willing to take on poker as a profession and deal with the ups and downs and turn life into a daily battle.

From those early days of live poker to the heights of super-stardom of celebrity pros, there has been a lot of debate of who should be a pro, or what is a pro really? Are they are a marketing ploy, are they really the best, does it matter how good they are and what is the point of it all?

Yggdrasil

**Yggdrasil** – ogromny jesion, drzewo łączące ze sobą wszystkie dziewięć światów.

## Opis

Yggdrasil jet ogromnym drzewem, tak wysokim, że ludzki wzrok nie widzi jego czubka. Wszędzie sięgały jego tętniące życiem gałęzie. Na konarach siedziały wszystkie gatunki żyjących ptaków i owadów, które wwiercały się w korę lub skubały liście. Yggdrasil łączył dziewięć świartów: Midgard, Hel, Muspellheim, Asgard, Królestwo Mrocznych Elfów, Krainę Elfów, Świat Freya i Frey, Świat Gnomów oraz Jotunheim.
Sigurd

**Sigurd** – prawnuk Odyna, syn Sigmunda.

## Życiorys

Sigurd był dzielnym wojownikiem. Największym jego osiągnięciem było zabicie smoka Fafnira. Gdy zabił potwora, wyjął z niego wbity miecz, lecz przy wyjmowaniu broni skaleczył się. By złagodzić ból wsadził skaleczony palec do buzi. Na palcu znajdowała się krew smoka, a jeśli krew smoka znajdzie się w buzi człowieka zaczyna on rozumieć mowę zwierząt i tak samo stało się z Sigurdem.
