Other Games / Pokemon Viet Crystal
« on: July 28, 2012, 10:13:34 pm »
This is pretty much the best case of engrish translation making something interesting again I've seen, as far as funny goes. Might make less sense if you've never played a properly translated Crystal, though.

Anyway, anyone else seen this/ have thoughts or quotes to say about or from it?

General Discussion / A question on learning.
« on: June 18, 2012, 03:35:39 pm »
So, I found this thing recently while seeing if there was anyone actually doing that kind of thing or if youtube was just full of random gibberish and anime and vocaloid in that area. I've watched a bit of it, and the thing I wanted to ask about is why it seems easier to focus on than reading the same kind of lesson, or hearing someone calmer and more instructorish say it. I know theres visual learners and audio learning, and so on, I just was curious to see what you guys thought of it and maybe an answer to my question as well. Theres some swearing in it, but its hardly the worst thing I've heard on youtube by far.

General Discussion / Anti-Pants Faction (No, not underwear. Pants.)

We should organize one. I'm not the best at writing fancy things describing a group, or a Toady protectorate, or something else just as silly, but I wanted to put this here so other people could organize it better.

Has anyone else seen this guy and his crazy rubber band-based weaponry? He has a Slingshot Cannon, for Urist's sake!

Let us have another game of Calvinball, or TACTICUS as I've seen here before, shall we?

General Discussion / Shirts
« on: December 08, 2011, 05:02:50 pm »
Because everywhere should have a random clothing-based poll eventually, unless someone has actually beaten me to this?
So, shirts.

General Discussion / The Avatars thread.
« on: October 11, 2011, 05:15:25 pm »
After the stuff in the rage thread about avatars, I was kinda curious why everyone picked what they did as an avatar.

So, I'll start: I don't have an avatar because I can't decide what I want to shrink to fit there.

You, being a priest of some kind, have decided to be journeying. Which book was yours to take with you?

Spoiler: Books (click to show/hide)

(yes, they both are referencing something. there might be more original books later, but I really just wanted to start with those to quotes because they just seem like the kind of thing you'd get in a forum game, and because I'd seen both of those shows recently)

General Discussion / The End of the world! (US politically, anyway)
« on: September 20, 2011, 10:07:49 pm »
We've got the insane ones trying to shred any idea that is not explicitly their own, the slightly less so ones that won't outright call war, but won't even look up the word 'compromise', and then the ones who used to be called the extreme ones doing something, probably. And then all the other side using this as their main battering ram to get in office by pointing out that they aren't the ones suggesting to tear down anything that isn't giving away profits to the businessmen.

Anyone have some interesting links on this, or want to say something?

Play With Your Buddies / Interest Check: Civ IV Dune Wars mod Multiplayer stuffs.
« on: August 31, 2011, 04:06:00 pm »
So I've been playing Civ IV BtS some lately (on Noble), and then found this mod, which is pretty awesome. Not sure if it actually needs Beyond the Sword to work, though.
Anyway, putting this up here seems like it'll attract all the people who are super doubleplus good at Civ and beat me easily or something, but I'm putting it here anyway because fun. Probably use Hamachi or Tunngle or something in case there are people who don't have Civ but want to play this anyway. Not really sure on a date either, but I'm in EST. So, anyone?

Life Advice / Graduation Present.
« on: May 27, 2011, 09:11:35 pm »
People have been asking me what I want for the title, and honestly, I can't think of anything besides a car (which I don't need until I actually have a license) that would be non-trivial.
There is plenty of things I want, but Graduation just doesn't seem like the time to be asking for stuff like games and assorted books. I've already got a decent laptop, so Computer or Computer parts just seems like a silly thing to ask for right now.
Theres also this that I'm interested in learning from, but I'm not really sure it would be worth it since I'm not usually that focused on learning except at school.

Any suggestions or help from you people of the twelfth bay?

Yay!
Now, if the red idgits would stop trying to (or at least planning to) stall everything to death for a little bit, we might actually get going in the right direction with this!
