I don't think the economy is working. Maybe it will be removed in the next release? Until then, why invest any energy into it?

Note to all users of the dragonkin mod: when ambushed in a blizzard on the tundra, just pick a direction and run like a little bitch, don't risk your neck to find out what sort of creature is ambushing you, it's probably a frost wyvern. Just run, don't look back, just run and pray for a chance to begin sneaking. :o

Also; Hiccup! *regurgitates own lung*

I recently bought Audiosurf.  I played Korn - Twisted Transistor, as it's one of my favorite songs, then an album by Say Anything, and then Dragonforce just for the lulz.  I have now download the most recent DF Talk 15 and will attempt to play it.
Have you attempted to play the DF song on it?

You know what's been nagging at the back of my mind since preschool? You've all heard it. It's simply absurd. It's retarded. It makes no difference. And yet, they make such a big deal out of it. I speak of course, of the letter "Y".

Seriously, who isn't pissed off about this? Why does it only have to be a vowel sometimes, and then turn around and be a consonant? Seriously, it's a fucking consonant all the time, and people just can't accept that. Why is this? Why must they insist that every word have a vowel? There are words without consonants. What, are vowels the fucking police? Do you need vowels to keep those shifty-ass consonants from stealing TVs or some shit? If that's the case, I don't think they should be trusting some part-time thug to be a police officer. Or maybe "Y" is the man undercover, in which case, all the consonants in this post now know, and will fucking lynch him. Is the world of grammar so hardcore like that? That you can't read an internet post without risking a drive-by grammar nitpicking? or is "Y" a transvestite? WHY WOULD YOU MAKE THE LETTER "Y" A TRANSVESTITE? IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE! Whoever the sick fuck is who came up with that rule needs to meet an ironic death by alpha-bits cannon (or alternatively the dip in boiling alphabet soup).

This thread is now about Stephen Fry.

@ lagslayer: I needed a good laugh tonight, thank you. :P

Although, I would just go with 'y' being a vowel consistently.

No.  It was about Stephen Fry last time.
Personally I consider Y to be a vowel full-time and W as a vowel when it modifies another vowel.
Also, Grace Park is hot, and I'm grateful Hawai'i Five-0 decided to let everyone know.

Y is a half-vowel.

A random thing that I sometimes spring on people I want to alienate:

Make a list of all the words you can think of that contain a string of 4 or more letters in which there are no vowels (or the letter Y :P).

E.g.: birthday

WARNING!


wasn't this originally about web FB's?

Sir. This thread is so far off the beaten path that a dwarven expedition once followed it to the heart of a volcano.
