Randomness

[Imposter]

Sounds cool. If you decide to just PM it to people I wouldn't mind taking look at it.

[Everlast]

Sure PM me the story I'd like to read it.

[blue_moon]

I'd love to read it! I'm writing one too. Its a few pages long. But, I'd love to see yours when its done.

[roadkill21619]

Sounds cool. How long are your stories going to be Loofiloo and Demyx?

[blue_moon]

Mine will be going up to or exceding 100 word pages.

[???revived]

I'd like to read your [Loolifoo's] story via PM, please...

[blue_moon]

Me too. Well, Loofiloo isn't on.

[Slade]

Random words: vegimite, calus, yacht

[Everlast]

I thought you were gonna post more random words now....

[Slade]

Yes now! Random words of the day: clause, gingivitis, vertices.

[Brimstone]

Random word: Dropsy

I love stories please send me yours by PM as well.

[Slade]

Random word: Dropsy

I love stories please send me yours by PM as well.

What stories? Another set of random words: shiver, dime, colesterol.

[blue_moon]

Well, I'm nearing 500 posts. Yay post 497! Whoopeedeedoo.

[Slade]

You've made it! Congrats Demyx:)

[Everlast]

Why does everyone care about post count? You should just enjoy posting and talking on the forum.

[blue_moon]

Yeah, I like talking and stuff. The posts are fun to watch go up.

[???revived]

*gets out calculator, presses 1+1 then = continuously, watching the numbers go up 1 by 1*

Nope, not very fun...

[blue_moon]

*gets out calculator, presses 1+1 then = continuously, watching the numbers go up 1 by 1*

Nope, not very fun...
Nonsense. I do that all the time!:shocked:

[Loofiloo]

I bet the people who strive for the highest post counts also like to play MMORPGs. Anyway, the whole ordeal is pretty belligerent.

I smell a new fad brewing...

Belligerent is my word! I hate MMOs unless its this one that some guy made but you don't level up. You can make your own store or town or warehouse. I can't wait till its done!:shocked: I am making a game right now, just to mention it. It won't be an MMO, so thats okay. I'm not good at finding glitches in my own game, but I can find a way to reverse gravity in the Kingdom Hearts games. My Roadkill found a glitch where you could talk to bushes, walls, dirt, houses, water, plants, bridges or anything instead of just the sign. Its an RPG and I'm 10% done.:shocked: Xap, that smilie is really helpful.:shocked:

Random words of the day: cashews, pint, sarcophagus.

Random word of the day: whyareyouguyssorandomallthetimeboboboistheonlyrand omnessintheworld

[Loofiloo]

Does anybody really benefit from the random words of the day?

[Zwaken]

Nope :D

[Xap]

They're useless, because nobody discusses them. :rolleyes:

[blue_moon]

Yeah, my random word was so helpful...
why are you guys so random all the time. bobobo is the only rand omness in the world.

[Loofiloo]

I generally try to funnel my random words into a single sentence or thought, so as to more effectively benefit others.

[blue_moon]

I generally try to funnel my random words into a single sentence or thought, so as to more effectively benefit others.
So you are saying my sentences are ineffecive because there is more than one sentence. So you are saying: "The phone is ringing because my coat is red." is more beneficial than two sentences? So belligerent.:shocked:

[Everlast]

On to further news, something is about to happen.
:shocked:

[Loofiloo]

So you are saying my sentences are ineffecive because there is more than one sentence. So you are saying: "The phone is ringing because my coat is red." is more beneficial than two sentences? So belligerent.:shocked:

Uhh... I don't know where you got that idea..... I probably should have said "complete" rather than "single."

[Slade]

Random words of the day: vacuum, sanitizer, rug-burn.

[blue_moon]

:shocked: Uhh... I don't know where you got that idea..... I probably should have said "complete" rather than "single."
Agreed %80. I still like the sentence: "The phone is ringing because my coat is red."

[Slade]

Words random: ginger, sushi, tinker-toy

[blue_moon]

Lets all start praising people:
I praise Everlast for starting this thread
I praise Mike W. for making good games
I praise Brian for helping and such
I praise Zetablack for... wait. Where'd he go?
I praise Brian again for making stuff sticky
I praise ben for being a moderator and such
I praise all the other moderators for moderating, but I haven't seen them enough
I praise Loofiloo for making a CYOA
I praise The Slade for posting words nobody comments on
I praise Xap because he's the only one here with between 800-900 posts
I praise Zwaken because he took my advice
I praise Brimstone because he came back
I praise TechStuf for noticing my sig
I praise Jstrok7 for changing his name
I praise ???revived for correcting me once
I praise lordlactose for being able to specify the problem

[Grif392]

Is sad he didn't make the list.

[Was It Me?]

Hehe...

Don't worry, not all of it is even true. :P
I praise Xap because he's the only one here with between 800-900 posts
*cough* Everlast *cough*

[???revived]

Wow, I'm praised for correcting people. O_O

[Xap]

I'm praised for having a high post count? I 'm not really concered with that, but that's okay anyway...:rolleyes:

[Loofiloo]

Well, I'm glad I received praise for a real accomplishment of mine. :D I kinda wish the other CYOAs were still active though. That hobo one had some potential, but I think it was too serious. Not enough unexpected spontaneity. You wouldn't see a swarm of bees burst from a door in THAT story, I dare say!

Speaking of the CYOA, I'm working on a web page design project that requires me to use Fireworks (image-making program) to make a promotional graphic for something. I decided to make a promotion for my CYOA. It'll have bits of several scenes pasted in with added effects, and nice dramatic abstract nouns... Like "ADVENTURE..." "MYSTERY..." "BETRAYAL..." And who-knows-what else. I generally plan to over-dramatize my Paint drawings and silly story for the sake of a good grade. =P

[Was It Me?]

Sounds interesting. ;)

[Slade]

And with that, more Random Words of the day: plinth, vault, garnish.

[blue_moon]

Well, I had to praise some one. I just had to let it out.

[Everlast]

Yay! Go this thread! *says wow*

[Slade]

More random words: igloo, cattle, wood

[Imposter]

I'm thinking about making a CYOA with a ninja but I can't start till next week. (finials week this week)

[Loofiloo]

I hope it'll be illustrated!

[Slade]

Random words of the Day: chalice, gargle, tantrum.

[blue_moon]

How many of you people here make video games (or are part of a team)? Blitwise staff, don't bother answering (we already know). I for one make games but quit in five days because I realize my idea was not quite as good as I though or I ran out of inspiration.

[Was It Me?]

I write games both as a loner and as part of a team.

[blue_moon]

I do mine alone. I do every aspect of it, but sometimes I just go to the Video Game Sprite Archives to find some sprites. Or the VGmusic to find MIDIs, because I can't make my own.

[Brimstone]

A good Video game music site VGmusic.com really good go their for all my videogame music needs.

[blue_moon]

Yeah, I realized I didn't say the name right. I go there too. However, they rarely have what I'm looking for.

[Zwaken]

i GOT SUSPENDED FOR NO GOOD REASON! YAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!

[blue_moon]

Really? I know my friend gets suspended a lot, because he is being picked on, then decides to drop-kick the intellectually challenged moron, but the teachers only see my friend drop-kick the other kid, not the kid beating on my friend. Therefore, he didn't get in trouble.

[Zwaken]

I got suspended for throwing one punch. That's it. Just one.

[blue_moon]

Yeah, I'm glad I didn't get caught stabbing a kid in the arm.

[Everlast]

I got suspended for throwing one punch. That's it. Just one.

A real punch? Because one of my friends got suspended for 3 days because him and a buddy were messing around in the hall way and he accidently made the other guy fall and the principle saw it and thought he did it on purpose.

I seriously wish I went to a private school. Tell me, do your schools practically allow knives in, and let kids go to their lockers before a locker check?

[Everlast]

In my school they do random locker checks during the classes so you don't know when they do it. I know this because I locked my locker one day and after class it was unlocked and all the zippers in my backpack were opened, and I know it wasn't a student because 1: He wouldn't of been able to get the locker open. 2: There was money inside and it wasn't taken.

[blue_moon]

Do you go to a private school? Also, does anybody else have the same problem as me?

[Everlast]

I go to a public school. And I don't understand what your problem is exactly.

[blue_moon]

My problem is that kids in my school are basically allowed to bring knives into school. They also can do whatever they want with the stuff in their locker. Say there is a scheduled locker exam, the teachers will go "Oh, and if you have something in your lockers you don't want the principal to see, take it out." Only once was a kid caught with "illegal stuff" in his locker (sorry, but I don't think the other term for it was family friendly) and he was sent home for the day. Kids do all sorts of illegal things and are never caught. Also, there is a higher chance of the weaker of the too kids fighting to be caught because they probably won't hurt the teacher/principal. Their rule of thumb is: I only believe what I saw. Do you see the problem?

[Slade]

I see it! That so poorly supervised/governed/teachered/whatever.

More Random WOrds: hyphen, bristal, typo.

No! I do them because THIS IS A RANDOMNESS THREAD!

[Loofiloo]

I thought I might say some random words, but instead, I'll just post this sentence to raise my post count.

[blue_moon]

No! I do them because THIS IS A RANDOMNESS THREAD!
Yes, but it was changed from a randomness thread to a general conversation thread! Everybody, I'm right, right?

[Slade]

Well I wouldn't know that! I joined this thread after it was on page...um...I don't know...but I don't go and backtrack 3 pages of what others have said!

[Slade]

Yes, but it was changed from a randomness thread to a general conversation thread! Everybody, I'm right, right?

Well I don't go back and review 3 pages of what others have said! And then where's the general conversation?

[Was It Me?]

It has been mentioned several times...

[blue_moon]

It's not that we hate you, it's just that we've told you several times now that this is more of a "miscellaneous discussion" thread than a "collection of unrelated words" thread.

[???revived]

Wow, a lot of you people seem to thrive on posting here. I'm not pointing any fingers here, but it seems that there isn't a day that you [the people I'm not pointing fingers at] aren't on and posting. I've just been gone two days on a band trip and I can't wade through all these posts fast enough...

It's interesting, because one part of me pities you for your lack of life, while one other part of me envies you for your lack of life...

[Imposter]

Heh, I went on a band trip for two days too!

[???revived]

I wasn't referring to you...

[Grif392]

I have all of...150 or so posts, last I checked. Oh, and, xD at this image:

[blue_moon]

Thats kinda funny. I need to 1167 posts to match my posts per day.

[jstrok7]

Thats kinda funny. I need to 1167 posts to match my posts per day.

But,the more posts you post in a day, post per day will also raise, so you must always post same amount of posts per day if you wan't to match your posts and posts per day . :p

[blue_moon]

So your saying if I don'y post I'll achieve my goal?

[jstrok7]

So your saying if I don'y post I'll achieve my goal?

No.
I mean that if you wan't to match you Total Posts: - and ( - posts per day), you must post same amount of posts every day (Not one more or less) becuase for every post more you post, your (- posts per day) raise, becuase you posted more posts in one day ...
You understand now !?

[blue_moon]

Yeah... I got it.

[Everlast]

So your just posting to keep up with your PPD? That's hollow.

[blue_moon]

No, just an idea.

[Slade]

Ya, well anyone could just post 30 per day and call that their PPD count:rolleyes:

[Imposter]

I wasn't referring to you...


I was just commenting on your band trip since I went on one too.

[Slade]

My best band trip was in grade 8. My school went to Newfoundland for a week!:)

[Zwaken]

PLEASE STOP THE RANDOM WORDS! Your just raising your post count so you can brag that you got promoted.

I know this is about 3 pages back but...

I've had plenty of my share of saying that I post too much and it's all just to raise my post count. Not true. I bet you post more than Slate, and only few of his posts are random words. If he was truely trying to raise his post count, then he would quintiple post.

[Zwaken]

I seriously wish I went to a private school. Tell me, do your schools practically allow knives in, and let kids go to their lockers before a locker check?

lol, locker checks? I've never had one, even though the school hates me (along with all of my friends)

and sorry for the double post.

[???revived]

I could have a locker, but I don't want to because I'm too lazy...

[Loofiloo]

I'm trying to apply for a job right now... This might mean that I'll have less time to spend on my CYOA, but I'll be able to afford things like a PS3, Little Big Planet (eventually), Spore (eventually), Wii controllers, computer parts, and my dream trip to California... Things that I REALLY want.

The EB Games application has a blank labeled "Game software knowledge." I'm not sure what I should put in there. I have a pretty general understanding of the mechanics of games, but I'm no programmer. I wonder if pixel art skills fall under game software knowledge?

[Everlast]

So you applying for a job at EB games?

[John Brooks]

I am a fire and a bun

[Loofiloo]

I am a fire and a bun

Didn't we agree to stop this?

[Imposter]

I think "game software knowledge" is if you know what games are out/coming out and general information about the current gen systems.

[blue_moon]

I think "game software knowledge" is if you know what games are out/coming out and general information about the current gen systems.
Yeah, like being up to date. Also, it'l help if you can speak multiple languages if you work there.

[Grif392]

Dream trip to california?

Now, where in California? Cause, y'know, it's a big state. Not too much interesting stuff here, either.

[Everlast]

Yeah, like being up to date. Also, it'l help if you can speak multiple languages if you work there.

Why would that help?

[???revived]

Knowing multiple languages is useful practically in any good job, I think...

Of course, it also depends on exactly what additional language(s) you know, but still...

[blue_moon]

Yeah, where I live, there are a lot of Spanish, Chinese and English speakers. I know some Frecnh, Spanish, a lot of English and definetely gibberish. Fyku ma kigy yitor?

I hate spanish. I think if mexicans come to America they should learn english.

Agreed. Mexicans ust learn engilsh unless the have an excuse like "my brain can only hold one languag and my name or I'll blow up."

[???revived]

Especially since English is awfully easy to learn (in my opinion)...

But I don't really have anything against Mexicans, as there are none where I live, and besides, I like listening to people speak other languages. It's one of the reasons why I like Europe so much...

Dude, you'd die of it where I live. They'll come up to you and go: Donde esta Walmart? I reply: Walmart esta en aqui. Then they realiz that the sign meant you are in walmart, not walmart at the next right. The can't speak english.

[Grif392]

English is NOT an easy language to learn.

Guaranteed.

It is actually one of the hardest languages to learn.

[???revived]

You're joking, right?

Practically no conjugation, very little inflection, very simplistic grammar and strict, easy-to-learn word order.

The only thing that I agree that is difficult is the spelling, but other than that, it is one of the EASIEST languages to learn.

I've heard people say that it's hard, but those are generally people who suck at spelling, grammar, English class in general, or people whose first language is very exotic and far-away from English.

To someone knowing say, Chinese as their first language, English is difficult because IT IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM THEIR OWN. Any European language would be difficult then, not just English.

One of the main reasons why English is the world's lingua franca is because IT IS EASY TO LEARN. Again, people seem to think that since there are so many grammar irregularities in English, that there are none in other languages. There are, and far many more, really.

[Loofiloo]

The thing I seek in California is something hopefully found at Nick Jr. or Saban, located in Burbank and Los Angeles.

I know a bit of Spanish, but not a whole lot. It MIGHT come in useful for my job, but I dunno...

As for the whole subject of the national language... Here's what I have to say:

Good point. However, english is easy to learn. There are gender based words. Consado: tired boy /Consada: tired girl. At least Mexicans don't have to learn two of each word.

[Loofiloo]

Yeah, but the difficult thing about Spanish is that verbs vary based on who's performing an action. Like "He runs" is "Corre" but "I run" is "Corro" (I believe) and "we run" is "corre."

English is probably more difficult to learn for people who don't already speak a Latin-heavy language. It's probably easier for the people who speak Spanish, French, or Italian to learn English than it would be for people who speak Japanese or Hebrew or something.

[Imposter]

Its not hard to conjugate them though, since most of the verbs follow the same pattern.

[blue_moon]

Only English doesn't go "the car red," or "the sky blue."

[Everlast]

Yeah, but the difficult thing about Spanish is that verbs vary based on who's performing an action. Like "He runs" is "Corre" but "I run" is "Corro" (I believe) and "we run" is "corre."

Actually "we run" is corremos. Spanish is also difficult because they have so many tenses. Here are the present tenses

regular ar tenses:
-o I
-as you
-a he/she
-amos we
-an they/them

regular er/ir tenses:
-o I
-es you
-e he/she
-imos we
-en they/them

And thats not it, there are past and future tenses also. As well as irregular and subjective tenses. I know all the endings but I don't know which tense they are. :anirolleyes:

Then there are stem-changing words like
I have = tengo, instead of teno
I play = juego, instead of jugo

Sometimes it changes. Also, when I don't quote the above post, it means I'm changing the subject or not talking about what was just said.

[jstrok7]

Croatian is hard language .
We learn English in school and it's easier than Croatian .
In Croatian there are too many rules and such things .
I have an A from English and a weak B from Croatian .

Example:
Positive - Comparative - Superlative

Good - Better - Best/Dobar - Bolji - Najbolji
Evil - Less Evil - Least Evil/Zao - Gori - Najgori
Strong - Stronger - Strongest/Jak - Jači - Najjači

Croatian language has 8 terms

Nominativ - tko, što
Genitiv - koga, čega
Dativ - komu, čemu
Akuzativ - koga, što
Vokativ - oj, ej
Lokativ - o komu, o čemu
Instrumental - s kim, s čim
And we have one new that's still unnamed - ja, ti, on, ona, ono, mi, vi, oni

And English has 2 terms:
Nominative and saxon genitive .

In English, you use word:
Joined for man and woman.
But in Croatian:
Pridružio - Man, Pridružila - Woman and there's one thing in Croatian called Srednji Rod, that's like Pridružilo - Srednji Rod, so It's like this:
For word "joined":
Man - Pridružio
Woman - Pridružila
Srednji Rod - Pridružilo

For word "jumped":
Man - Skočio
Woman - Skočila
Srednji Rod - Skočilo

But for word "jump":
Man - Skoči
Woman - Skoči
Srednji Rod - Skoči

It's like that for almost every word in Croatian and some are even much more complicated ...

And there are other even more complicated things in Croatian language that I do and don't know ...

im catonese (basically chinese, but from Hong Kong).

i speak english very fluently, my dad constantly bugs me about tiny technicalities, and my mom cant pronounce a few things rite (other than that, she speaks perfect english).

i dont speak any other languages (except Survival Thai, and just barely alive chinese)

btw, dad australian, mom cantonese...

[str1ker]

back to the start of this thread:

i hav a book about random facts called the useless book of information.
sry, i mean: the book of useless information...

10 useless facts:

*On average, women dream more than men, children dream more than adults, and more people dream in classic black and white than in colour.

*The thirteenth of the month falls on Friday more often than on any other day of the week. In a 400-year period, there will be 688 Friday the thirteenths.

*Car accidents rise 10% during the first week of daylight saving time.

*The popular Barbie doll was without a belly button until the year 2000.

*Although lobster is regarded as a delicacy today, early Americans disliked it so much that they fed it to prison inmates several time a week.

*Studies show that Chinese babies cry less and are more easily consoled than American babies.

*On every continent, there is a city called Rome.

*One-third of Taiwanese funeral processions include a stripper.

*Six percent of people that file for bankruptcy do so because they cannot stand bill collectors.

*One in three snake bite victims is drunk. One in five is tattooed.

[Loofiloo]

I don't know if I can really believe all of those. =/ Some of them would be pretty hard to prove.

I have a friend who's half-chinese, and I haven't noticed too many oddities with his English... Except for some reason, he calls a vacuum cleaner a "viking cleaner" which he apparently inherits from his Chinese mom.

*On average, women dream more than men, children dream more than adults, and more people dream in classic black and white than in colour.


Most people dream in black and white?:shocked:

We should test that. How many people here do? (add your name to either list)

Black and white:

Color:

[jstrok7]

I dream in color, hehe .

[Everlast]

I dream in color.

[Loofiloo]

Also color here. I call shenanigans on that list!

[Was It Me?]

Color for me too...

[Slade]

Colour for me... though sometimes partial negative...

[Grif392]

I don't dream.

Or feel emotion.

[Samail]

Both. It depends. But I wouldn't try getting in my mind if I was you. There's no turning back...

[Everlast]

What if your dreaming about the Andy Griffith show? Then you can't tell if you dream in color or not.

[Loofiloo]

I just got done beating the first Monkey Island game again. It sure is awesome and hilarious. There are some jokes I didn't pick up as a kid that are even funnier now. It also has an awesome theme song. I wish the pirate's CYOA had an awesome theme song. =/

Look behind you! A three-headed monkey!

[Everlast]

Yay! Monkey Island! I haven't played the first 2, but I have beaten the last 2 and I liked them. That 3 headed monkey is in the 3rd and 4th one also. :)

[Loofiloo]

I got bored, so I made a Monkey-Island-esque inventory screen for the CYOA. =D

If you dream about the Andy Griffith show, dream color pallettes are not your largest concern.

[Loofiloo]

I dreamed about The Littl' Bits last night. http://forums.facepunchstudios.com/images/smilies/emot-tinfoil.gif

It was really surreal, but also mysterious and possibly symbolic. I'd go into detail, but some people may find my dream too controversial. :rolleyes: I'm sure it would be... Awkward... From somebody else's point of view, unless they're mature enough to handle it... Anyway... All I'm tired of being vague.

[Loofiloo]

Oh, more news. I got accepted to the University of Tennessee today. Go me. (b'.')b

[Everlast]

Cool Loofiloo, is that a good school you were hoping to get excepted in?

[str1ker]

btw guys, just because the majority of everyone asked (from different countries, cities, and places, basically the world) about wat colour they dream in, doesnt quite mean everyone in this particular forum. it means the world, and fancy surverys which no one care about...

[Loofiloo]

I doubt that they polled the whole world for research of that "fact" book.:anirolleyes: I honestly would not say with conviction that they polled people at all.

[???revived]

I hardly if ever remember my dreams...

[Loofiloo]

I try to write mine down. I hear that generally makes them more vivid and memorable. Then again, that isn't always a GOOD thing, as some of my more terrifying dreams have made me afraid to go back to sleep.

[???revived]

I don't sleep enough for my age, so when I wake up I'm too dead to even think about getting up and writing something down...

[Samail]

I had a dream about Alien last night. (Probably on account that I watched Alien last night.)

[Loofiloo]

I don't remember much from last night, but I can say that in one dream, I was driving on the road, and my thoughts kept drifting elsewhere, at which point I'd realize I was sitting stopped on the road as everyone else around me was moving, and I'd have to hurry to get going with traffic again.

[jstrok7]

I dreamed that I was going to my cousins building by stairway and then I fell from the 4th floor of staiway .
After that I woke up fastly and I kicked my head in the wood above my head .

It happened before 5 or 6 months .

[Everlast]

I have to say that, whenever I do dream I usually remember it, because it's usually very awkward. Like one I had a couple days ago, I dreamed my mom bought a 2 in one refrigerator/shower. But in my dream when I was about to turn it on, I woke up...

[blue_moon]

I remember what I dreamt within the first 15 minutes of waking up because my mind has no converted to logic yet. It'll make sense.

[Everlast]

I remember watching a TV show about alien abductions. And most people say that they see them coming into their room. But a docter the interviewed on the show said that sometimes a person can wake up and look around and still be asleep, and actually put their dream into figures they can see around them. But they can't move because technically they are still asleep, which is another thing the so called "abductess" describe.

[Loofiloo]

I set my TV so that it turns on when I want to wake up, but one morning it was apparently too quiet... I stayed asleep, but I was aware of the TV, and my mind started incorporating the sounds into my dreams. I couldn't gather the whole plot, but the show somehow involved aliens and soundwaves and some weird sci-fi stuff like that.

[Loofiloo]

I almost forgot, but I want to wish you all a happy Pi Day today.

[Everlast]

What is Pi day? Sorry but I had never heard of this before.

[Samail]

My alarms didn't go off today. Luckily my bro woke me up just in time. Was almost late.

And yes, what is Pi Day? (I'm guessing it was something to do with the symbol for 3.41?)

Watched disk 2 for Alien a few minutes ago. Hope that isn't incorporated into my dreams...

[Imposter]

Are you talking about the 4 Alien movies Alien, Aliens, Alien 3, Alien Resurrection or a different series?

[???revived]

Pi day = March 14th = 3rd month, fourteenth day...

[Skix]

Bacon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I Hath Returned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Samail]

1. Hello again, Skix!

2. And yes, I'm reffering to that series.

3. That sort of explains it to me. To the Wikipedia!

[blue_moon]

Kids in my school kept saying that and I had no clue what they were talking about. I thought they were saying Pie Day.

[Xap]

A math team I'm on had a party just for Pi Day. There was lots of good food.:rolleyes:

[Slade]

Right now I'm sick and enjoying my relaxing march break.

[Everlast]

Yeah, but the make up working for missing is bad.

[Imposter]

Hey Samail, have you ever played starcraft?

Aliens and starcraft have somethings in common. The dropship pilot even looks the same and has most of the same lines.

[Samail]

As a matter of fact I do. Have Starcraft and the expansion, Broodwar. I like to use the Protoss, although they're very difficult to use. I need to speed up my building of... everything. The CPUs are so freaking fast...

I also wouldn't say that Alien and Starcraft are similar, but I would definately say that Alien and Metroid are very much alike. (See link below.)

http://mdb.classicgaming.gamespy.com/features/alien.htm

[Imposter]

I did a quick search and came up with this wikipedia entry:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StarCraft#Notes_and_trivia

They are small things but kinda cool.


Checked out your metroid link, and you are right there are a lot of Metriod/Aliens references. Unfortunately I have never played those metriod games for a while. Ah well, maybe if they come out on the Wii Vetual Console.

[Everlast]

Hey everyone check out these cool videos my friend at school should me.

Ryan vs. Dorkman 1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NE5elL30w4)

Ryan vs. Dorkman 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-is63goeBgc&mode=related&search=)

Ryan vs. Brandon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqEZvzYxROA&mode=related&search=)

Ryan the one in the blue worked for Lucas Arts.

[Samail]

I've seen those before. Infact, for our CPT 10 class we're doing just that. Not nearly as awesome, though.

[Loofiloo]

I just watched a HILARIOUS video, which I will now share with you all! :D

First of all, this requires that you've seen the Honda Accord "Cog" commercial, which if you haven't, it's pretty amazing in itself.
http://www.thelinkportal.co.uk/video/content/adverts/hondathecog.html

Now this is the freakin' hilarious version:
http://www.thenumber.com/ads/files/viral_honda_spoof.mpg

[Samail]

That was awesome! I had seen the Cog add before. Apparently it took over 60 takes to get it right, but I don't think it was ever aired.

By the way, what was it they were advertising/talking about?

Heheh, 123rd post...

[Zwaken]

LOL! That was funny in a random way...

[Slade]

That is a great video/ad! Um, did anyone here find any problems with video 2? Because I'm afraid to open it because of it's title...

[blue_moon]

The second one gives you 3 tracking cookies. They aren't much. They just transmit were you are every second you are on the computer. Overall, they are nothing if you have comcast spyware removal but virus scans don't pick them up.

[Loofiloo]

In video terms, a "viral" video is one that people generally want to send to all of their friends, so it essentially travels from inbox to inbox and computer to computer like a virus would do. It doesn't mean it's going to fry your hard drive. :anirolleyes:

[Was It Me?]

And if someone figured out how to embed a virus into an MPEG video, would they really put "viral" in the title? :P

[blue_moon]

Answer to a rhetorical question: no. Only I'd do that!

[Everlast]

Acutally that could be possible. In my programming class, my teacher said he could make a website with a button that if, you clicked it, it would shut down your computer after a time he specified.

[Rex Nex]

This is true: The only reason I ever became a member cuz I was mad, and i typed in his name on google, came up with a post here. I knew his name cuz he was on the burning sand forums once in a while.
When i was on his siggy fur burning sand was grif with each letter in a box
[G[R]I]F] and it would light up and stuff.

[blue_moon]

Okay, you may have joined on pure impulse, but you still play PTanks, SDXB, or Neon Wars (Neon Wars needs an abbreviation)? Its kinda weird to sign up on a forum just cuz' Grif goes here.

[Brimstone]

But it might be nice to look at the community before you go get the game. Or they might not understand what were talking about..... ("Funnel is sooooo good." "Whats he talking about."

Quintiple posting= bad. Don't do it.
This is something Zwaken said:
I know this is about 3 pages back but...

I've had plenty of my share of saying that I post too much and it's all just to raise my post count. Not true. I bet you post more than Slate, and only few of his posts are random words. If he was truely trying to raise his post count, then he would quintiple post.
Something Loofiloo said:
Didn't we agree to stop this?
Somehting I said:
STOP WITH THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!a
Something else I said:
Yes, but it was changed from a randomness thread to a general conversation thread! Everybody, I'm right, right?
Please stop. From now on... I don't know. Please don't say I act like a mod. Thats really annoying. This, however, is even more annoying. nd I'm not the only one correcting anybody.

[Loofiloo]

I think Everlast ought to edit post 1 to have some big text explaining the real purpose of this thread. That would be belligerent. (b'.')b Although, I'm sure most newbies will see the thread title "Randomness" and just skip right to the last page to post something that nobody would care to read.

[Rex Nex]

Let me rephrase that. I found this forum through grif. I have the free version of pocket tanks, and I am just figuring out the community while I scrape togather some moneey $$$$:anirolleyes:

[blue_moon]

Oh okay. PTanks deluxe is 10x better than the free version and soon to be 11X better. New expansion, right?

[Rex Nex]

Oh okay. PTanks deluxe is 10x better than the free version and soon to be 11X better. New expansion, right?

I dont see how 100 weapens can make a game 10x better. The computer is so predictable and noone around me can beat me.

[Brimstone]

Pyromania = Sig = Me:)

[blue_moon]

Dude, these weapons can't compare to the original 30. They are way better. Plus, the game can expand. The second sentence you wrote has no corrolation to anything. You are saying the game can't be 10x better because, "The computer is so predictable and noone around me can beat me." More weapons= more fun. Plus, you got the numbers wrong. 135 more weapons, with 20 more on the way.

[Everlast]

Actually there are 165 weapons with (total). And I will do what Loofiloo said and edit the first post in this thread so that everyone knows this is now a randomn conversation thread NOT a randomn "post anything you want" thread. I think we all agree.

[John Brooks]

Shoot the number!

Get the google coffee and jump the waffle!

[Rex Nex]

I thought this was a random descussion thread, not a random word thread, i think im stupid:(

[blue_moon]

@ everlast: I was counting without the original 30, hence I said 135 MORE weapons
@john brooks: stop
@Shaku: you are right. jb has been doing this for a while.

[Imposter]

Shoot the number!

Dude, just stop.

[Everlast]

Yes please, it's very annoying.

[Zwaken]

diddo. now to say something with more meaning...

Curious: Have you ever been prank phone called / prank phone called someone and it ended up hilarious? One time someone prank phonecalled me, but I can't qoute them, for it is innapropriate...yet funny ;)

[Imposter]

I've been prank called but they guy who did it was obviously a noob at prank calling because it was really dumb.

[Everlast]

Heh, if anyone prank calls me I can just hit redial, because we have caller id. :)

[Loofiloo]

Gawd, John never seems to learn. -_-

I think prank phone calls are kinda pointless. I prefer practical jokes. It's hard to get prank calls just right... It has to be something crazy, but believable in order to keep the other person on the line and insure more hilarity. They shouldn't know it's a prank call until you spend 10-20 minutes on the phone with them and you personally tell them so.

[Loofiloo]

You've been looking at 4chan, haven't you?

[???revived]

Not really. I just got that off of another forum I go to...

[Loofiloo]

So, I was sitting here at my computer tonight, and it was around 1:30 when I got thinking... Why not go outside? So that's what I did. I went out into the yard, and walked around in the grass... And everything was totally silent. Not even a breeze. I walked all around my neighborhood, hearing not a single sound but my own footsteps on the pavement. It was such a great feeling. Like the whole neighborhood belonged to me. Nobody was around to disagree, so I could just strut about like I owned the place.

I was enjoying myself so much that I decided to walk down to the nearby gas station. That was all right, although a couple of cars passed by. The interesting thing was that I could see their headlights coming a few minutes beforehand, and I could hear them off in the distance even sooner. A police officer stopped to talk to me for a minute, but I wasn't really in trouble or anything. I'm 18, so I don't have to be in by curfew, and I was totally sober and everything, just going to buy a soda. He told me it's probably dangerous to be walking around when the bars are closing, but he said I didn't have to go back home if I didn't want to. I got all the way to the gas station, which had absolutely no cars visiting, and there was just one woman inside, but she was in the back, apparently talking on the phone of all things. Must have a friend who works the same shift somewhere else. The doors were locked though, and she couldn't hear or see me from where she was, so I just had to trot back to my house empty-handed. About halfway though, I decided I'd jog instead.

That was a great experience. I highly recommend that everybody try this at some point. I'll have to go again tomorrow night. And maybe every day this week. It's spring break after all. I need to do something fun, even if I'm the only one doing it. The only one for miles around. =)

[Xap]

Well, that sounds like it was fun.:)
I don't have spring break here where I live, I have a break in April instead. I really wish I had a break, becuase I have a bunch of long-term projects haning over my head to get done.

[forever lost dynasty]

I wish our spring break would start we still have 9 days :(

[Imposter]

I love walking around at night, but usually I do it with a few of my friends.

My spring break hasn't started either.:(

[blue_moon]

Mine starts in 20 or so days. Mine is as late as late gets.

[???revived]

I'm already enjoying my spring break by rotting my brain in front of the computer...

[Everlast]

Your lucky, but remember. When your off of your spring break, most of us will be having ours. ;)

[Rex Nex]

Mine wont start for about a month so dont't feel bad, living in Armada Michigan is not the best.
