Please don't tell me you know these by hart...

They do come up quite a lot.

Another classic Murray moment that is always showed is when he asks Nigel Mansell what he hurt in an accident when he quite obviously has a huge black eye. Murray, true to style, then pokes him in it whilst pointing towards it. A classic.

well it was 740 so far... but at the moment I got that "too many connections error". I remember it was ~928 that was the highest.. that was at Civ3 launch... I expected it to be more than 1000 but I guess the server couldn't keep up than Lets see how the new one holds on now.

Do you have any stats on posts per day?

I got this a few minutes ago:

Is this the dreaded Slashdot effect?

Yes, they are available somewhere. Markos has posted them before.

[spartak]

Try looking through old threads in the archive. I think Markos posts them regularly but the threads often sink quite quickly.

Maybe not enough +1 potential in them

Let us know if we beat that record. Perhaps when the other parts of the review are released.

That wasn't a black eye, it was a bump on Mansell's forehead, which Walker touched whilst trying to point it out.

Dammit you are right. *hangs head in shame*

Wow, the Chrimbo effect is huge.

[spartak]

Indeed.

[Dauphin]

How is that worked out? Does it include the OT for example?
