  1. [hide=conflict of ideals] Are you really so naive as to think this ? The world hasn't changed. This may be true for you, maybe you were young. But to everyone else it was the same. Sure there was to a lesser extent the internet. There were earthquakes, famous deaths, bombings, another trade union formation, and another president of a despotic and squalid African nation was killed or a coup' occured, you have the occaisonal genocide, and a nuclear test. People were never innocent. Any decade seperated from another is only unique in a change of a single digit. Because when you step back, you can't even see the good from the bad and the mundane from the relevant. Does anyone even remember or care to think back to the reunification of Berlin ? Or the Belfast Agreement ? Or NAFTA ? Essentially what I'm saying is, that things will continue to happen and we will continue to live and forget. The events that mark a passage of time are as redundant as the event itself. [/hide] and this is exactally what i mean. where everyone has to be right or wrong. While it may of been reduced to politics and bored people writing letters in the past, now with a global communication network it has become daily practice to argue over things that have no use to be argued about, forcing of oppinions and ideals hastily thought out and published for the world to see. It's depressingly ironic. I will admit i was in the cherrished years of my youth in the 90's. Watching the news for me was at the same priority as doing homework and going to bed at time. Namely, i had no intrest in it at all, but this topic isn't about what is it historically about the 90's you liked. It's about what i liked, and the fact that you are so attached to physical events and facts only stresses the increasing dependency of material goods in our society. Seeming i didn't answer Cartoons or Games (both respectable peices of media and fond memories), but a more dramatic peice of literature with a more emotional bond, i guess i had this coming.
  2. not a joke but a funny story our physics teacher asked us to think what an orbit is. force is moving the object foward but gravity is moving the object downwards. however, if the mass it is circling is roughly equal in radius, and the force propelling the object foward is constant and large enough to make the object miss the mass it is circling before gravity can pull it towards the ground, then the object goes into a pattern of continusly rotating around the mass, moving foward and down in a path but never hitting the mass. The definiton of orbit is throwing an object at the ground and continously missing it. I tried my best to hold in the laughter, being a Douglas Adams fan.
  3. promoted for banning the person above you for indecent material then remembering that banned and unbanned is a loop and promotting from unbanned is banning you then shrugging and going back to making this message that is typed up as i'm thinking it then going to click on the submit button then going to look at another thread then realizing that typing out what i think i'm going to do is worthless until i actually do it
  4. namely database management and upkeep...anything that has to deal with updating information is considered gruntwork, and the majority of help desks are people given week long classes at each level, with only a handfull approaching full technological mastery that requires a univeristy degree. Stuff like game programmers, graphic designers, web designers, photoshoping, making flash cartoons(professionally) and youtube vlogging(professionally) is usually done by arts, media, and language majors. Computer professions are more behind the scenes, creating an outline for a program and setting it out for code language. Lets take making a game for example. The story behind it is done by english written arts majors for convincing characters, the character designs made by art majors for the highest quality, the game mechanic design is usually done by gamers and media majors for the most fun factor, and nowadays psychology majors for internet multiplayer, making pvp events a truely intense procedure, and of course the music would be done by music majors. All the computer guys do is make sure everything everyone else has made works in the way they want it to. A single programmer may have nothing to do with the design of the best game ever other than it's organization. If a game was a popsicle stick house, a programmer would be the glue.
  5. A feeling of genreal safety; an innocence only youth can bring that allows you to cassually stress over things that, in the long run, are meaningless. The thought that the world, moving ahead technologically with a speed unparalled in the history of the human race, was turning from the war torn landcape that has marked the years past and into a peaceful era. Combined with that, the ignorance of the rest of the world, and an outside point of view, and no way for the rest of the world to conject to our meanings. That's what the 90's meant to me. No internet. No terrorism. No constant truth to bring down our spirits with the crime, sin, and unlawful punishment of the world. A world of innocence; of ignorance. A world that can be accepted for their own voice without having to group into like minded individuals and defend their point of view with a zealot's passion. Even though it may be impossiable unless the world ends, that is what i want to bring back. This world's innocence to the outside. ...and i'm suddenly realizing i'm asking everyone to become like fox news and promptly shut my mouth...
  6. Eat at a fast food place, and make sure you pay for it. Would you rather endure the wrath of an agitated pile of scorpions or go without any mode of transportation besides walking for a week?(if you're already a walker, then be forced to run for an hour each day for a week)
  7. As soon as you turn around, there's a man blocking your path. "Hello, my name is Johnny Appleseed. You called?" without any feasable answer through surprise and confusion, you stay silent for several minutes, causing Johnny to fly into an AppleRage and beat you stupid with a tree branch. I press the button on the wall that has the number 42 on it.
  8. granted, but you will eternally hear little voices in your head: "I'm the little voice in your head." "No, I'm the little voice in your head." "You can't be the little voice in his head, i'm the little voice in his head." "Shuttup! I'm the little voice in your head!" "No! Don't listen to him! I'm the little voice in your head!" I wish for sweet dreams and a lollypop when i wake up.
  9. One simple problem though...it's a game. Sure, people 'should' act all gentlemanly when playing, offering spots and giving hints whenever possiable. And for most skills, such as fishing, woodcutting, and cooking, this isn't a problem. But the thing is, there are x amount of worlds, which contain y amount of spots, and (y-g) amount of spots you want to mine at. So theoretically, the game can only handle x(y-g) players mining at the best spots(assuming you don't want to mine copper and tin). So, when p amount of players is greater than the x(y-g) choice mining spots, the only possiable choice is to steal resources and fight for training and profit. Of course, the line for describing this goes into the moral decision of whether or not stealing resources from another person is right or wrong. In the real world, it is fairly easy to say that this is the wrong thing to do, and earning or having resources given to you is morally right. But in the view of a game driven by anomynous avatars given only name and profession, morals can be 'relaxed' as there is no definable victim of the crime. Needless to say, being killed in runescape holds less of a grudge than being killed in real life, as all you lost was the time invested in the game in the first place. Some would even argue that this is a good thing, as it would give them a chance to earn the money to re-equip their character. So, needless to say, when resources are tight and you have the skill to gain resources, even at a reduced rate, that will be taken as the product of choice over not gaining resources at all. So when i come in and steal your spot at the gold ore, keeping a silent vigelence to those thin yellow lines, know that it is not to attack your rights to be there, but to enforce that i have every right to be there as well. Who knows, if you're not a [cabbager] about it and make a post saying how horriable it is, we can actually make amends and split the spot so i won't 'pwn' you with my 'epic' mining level. Courtousy should not come at the disregard of one person but at the compromise of the two. One last thing: No. It is a lose-lose situation in which both parties get reduced gains. Its simple common sense, but seems beyond the limited intelligence of spot crashers. And if everyone thinks like you and the rest who so direly claim that a spot is only for ONE person, there wouldn't be enough worlds for Jagex to create, if everyone is to have their own little spot. Thats simple common sense. So fight for a spot and win it, or lose the spot and whine. The circle continues. The "I-came-here-first-its-my-spot" idealism is getting pretty old, especially since there are over 200.000 online people at a time. And how many worlds to share? If you really wanted a spot all to yourself to earn more money for an online game, might i suggest a single player game to relieve the stress of OTHER [CABBAGING] PEOPLE playing a game with you.
  10. Banned for taking this long to bring up meerkats again! Huzzah!!!
  11. granted irl, you have yardwork to do i wish that everyone was a little bunnie!
  12. i would infect wildlife, slowly spreading to a small army of little furry commandos then, i would wait till hunting season :twss:
  13. You know, we have those in real life. Yea, they're called locksmiths. They even make a living off of it. i mean in a more supernatural level, like a man with a keyring the size of a hula hoop with a variety of keys. he could even have a compulsive disorder to collect every key he finds, comical points as he starts searching for the right key for a door, and strives to rule the world by stealing the key to every major city. Come to think of it, a hula hoop sized keyring full of keys would make a lethal weapon too...all it takes is a little bit of fleshing out.
  14. i think the phrase you're looking for is "Happy Holidays"
  15. because, there is so much to do, with new frontiers and talents just around the corner, with just a little bit of work needed riches, fame, power, and people that call you noob why would you want to quit? right, you don't have any of that
  16. because it's the only one out there that gives all the information so that i can be a runescape guru and learn of the finer practices of runescape life. Not to mention i found this one first. But it has nice peoples and good guides, so i am as happy as a light bulb sign with a santa hat :idea: doesn't he look happy?
  17. granted, but you have to take them off a million fat, greesy, ugly, yet lovable santas all i want for christmas is my two front teeth :thumbsup:

    Same as SS4Alex, but i use the X and Y for jumping and make sure to turn the up analog jump off And common, sonic has had a bad decade, give him this one! Seriously, captain falcon is a bit behind the times, with each of his specials adding a considerable lag or an awkward ending to his otherwise speedy game, and his recovery only going a maximum of 4 lengths. The best falcon fight i've seen didn't even use any specials, but that wonderful knee and speedy hit and run tatics. Sonic has the speed, as well as more effective specials, and an effective recovery that you can still air dodge with after using.
  20. all of you have unorigional ideas: telekensis, mind controll, imortality...they have all been done before, twisted to become curses, used to threaten the human race, used to save the human race, restrained for the sake of the human race, unleashed onto the human race, and made afternoon tea for the human race. how about this, i want to have the ability to keys to fit any lock in an instant. Household doors to fort knox, noone would be safe. or how about the ability to bend cosmic will to do the impossiable, however on the pretext that it must be comical. Tieing a knot into a shotgun barrell or turning it back at the other person, walking through a plexiglass wall that was supposted to stop me, or in effect, running through a brick wall, leaving a human running shaped hole behind me or how about super fighting ability related to the type of music playing in the background. Strong heavy metal or an engrosing musical peice and i'm stronger than superman, a bit of energic techno and i'm a kung fu master, the rocky theme and i'm a boxer, rap and i suddenly get my hand on a couple custom handguns, miley sirus and a turn into a phone loving teenager Be creative people! PS: darkenss is not an element, it is the absence of light. Saying that you want controll over everything that is outside the boundries of light as well as a light source is...
