Woot. Maybe it will give me the motivation to WRITE MORE. I've seriously let it fall off the wagon. . .

South Park
Apparently I'm in the very small minority here, but I can't stand the show. It's not funny, I don't think it's ever made me laugh once. All I see is a poor attempt at satire, using nine-year olds who swear way too much for even an adult. Yes it's supposed to be the kind of humor that is less of the laugh-out-loud variety and more appreciation of the pun or other such sophisticated humor, but to my eyes it just fails at that. Such as the episode where they write letters to the Iraqi kids, enclosing a dollar, and receieve a goat in return. When attempting to bring the goat back, it is mistaken for some celebrity. Ha ha? :| Every once in a while there will be a reference that will make me smile, but the rest of it is just utter trash delivered by foul-mouthed kids.

Perhaps, but not at the beginning. It's not moving the fingers that's the problem for me, it's seeing which notes are flying at you in that wall and in what order.

A Quick Monty Python Fake
That was what I thought right away. . . The point of making fakes is that they are realistic and believable. And I don't care how much hypothetical fancy stuff you do to the fake, if there's some huge logic error it defeats the purpose. Such as a guy yelling to be let in while standing one square away from a gaping hole in the wall. And it was like no effort at all. Some text. Woot.

Just tried set 7 on hard. . . the only song that I didn't fail on within thirty seconds was Knights of Cydonia :XD: . I'm going to have a crazy time getting those down.

Do Glasses affect your life seriously?
Why the hell would anyone treat you different for wearing glasses? They're pretty commonplace. I wear hearing aids, no one cares. And those are far more unusual to see worn by a teenager than glasses.

Is Twilight Princess the Sequel or Counterpart to Ocarina?
Naw, it's the sequel to the Four Swords that was packaged with the GBA remake of ALttP. Both separate games. EDIT: To clear things up, the GBA ALttP remake also included a second, new game, Four Swords. It had a story and gameplay of its own and is a full-fledged game in the Zelda franchise. Four Swords Adventures was the Gamecube sequel to it, and it brought Ganon in along with Vaati, the primary antagonist of the first FS.

Is Twilight Princess the Sequel or Counterpart to Ocarina?
Ah yes, I forgot about that little detail at the beginning of WW. In that case, my timeline would still stand as it is, but there would have to be a branch off of Ocarina of time to loop around the rest and connect with WW :-k . And according to Limpbizkit's source, the Minish Cap and Four Swords are both older than Ocarina, which makes sense since they don't feature Ganon. And I would also place A Link to the Past after Ocarina and before Twilight Princess, now that I think about it. Since in that summary it talks about the Seven Sages, which are in both OoT and TP. So, a revised timeline! 1. Minish Cap v 2. Four Swords v 3. Four Swords Adventures v 4. Ocarina of Time ---------> 5. Majora's Mask. | >-------------------------------v |....................................... | v...................................... | 6. A Link to the Past........ | v.......................................| 7. Twilight Princess.......... | v.......................................| 8. The Legend of Zelda ....| v.......................................| 9. Zelda II.........................| .........................................| .........................................| 10. Wind Waker <----------- v 11. Phantom Hourglass On their own: Oracle of Seasons v^ Oracle of Ages Link's Awakening (has like nothing to do with traditional Zelda at all lol) Still unsure about Four Swords Adventures. I placed it before Ocarina and after Four Swords because it tells how Ganondorf got the trident thing and became Ganon, and if I recall correctly Ganon had a trident when you fought him at the end of OoT. So it would probably fit there, as he could already have gone on that little adventure before events in OoT.

How would you like to die?
I don't really care so long as I've lived a full life. As in, not dying spectacularly when I'm 20.

Is Twilight Princess the Sequel or Counterpart to Ocarina?
Well, I left out the others and mainly focused on the big console games as that was the general question :P . The timeline for Zelda is wicked screwed. Actually, I'll correct myself and say that PH is a direct sequel to WW, featuring the same Link I believe, and Zelda 1 and 2 are direct sequels but I'm unsure whether they feature the same Link/Zelda. And the Oracle games don't even take place in Hyrule, so I didn't include them either. I also have no real idea where the sets fit in to the overall timeline, as well as the Minish Cap/Four Swords games as I've never played them. Ok, I'll try to piece it together with as many games as possible. 1 Ocarina of Time - it explains the origins of Ganon, with him being born to the Gerudos, so it would be first, I also think it has been confirmed. 2. Majora's Mask - direct sequel 3. Twilight Princess - I'm thinking this because the Ganondorf is very similar, as well as the general landscape or Hyrule, moreso than any other two games. A few hundred years or so after OoT. 4. The Legend of Zelda - completely different landscape, but I think it fits here because Ganon is sort of just there, and it may stand to reason that he somehow survived being impaled at he end of TP. 5. Zelda 2 - direct sequel, attempting to stop Ganon from returning. 6. Wind Waker - huge leap in time here, but there's no real questioning it besides what may go in between. 7. Phantom Hourglass - direct sequel. I have no idea where A Link to the Past or Link's Awakening fit in, as well as Minish Cap, Four Swords, Four Swords adventures, or either of the Oracle games. Nuts.

Personal defense
I took my backpack on a scout campout one time, and I had my swiss army knife in one of the pockets on the strap. I was walking around school for at least two weeks before I finally realized it was there :uhh: . Yeah, I decided against carrying a pocket knife habitually after that.

Is Twilight Princess the Sequel or Counterpart to Ocarina?
Free_Steel, sorry but you are not even close. [hide=The general timeline of Zelda] We'll leave out the earlier games and start with Ocarina. After events in OoT, Link leaves on Epona to journey the land of Hyrule, and in Majora's Mask he stumbles into an alternate world. MM is the only direct sequel of another Zelda game, and it has nothing to do with Ganon or Zelda or Hyrule. It is the only game that features the same Link as another. Twilight Princess, if I remember correctly, takes place some hundred years or so after or before OoT, I can't remember which. I forget what they said about Ganondorf in TP, that would help but eh. Wind Waker takes place thousands of years after the other games. With the exception of MM, no Zelda game shares a Link (no pun intended) or is anywhere close enough in the timeline to have relevance on another.[/hide]

Tolkien is a she. I'm going to be the fourth person to respond to this. It's that funny.

Personal defense
What kind of school do you guys go to to need and moreso be allowed to carry brass knuckles? :-s I never carry any kind of weapon, mainly because I'll end up forgetting about it and leaving it in my pocket or something. Next thing I know, I'm in school with a pocket knife. I would never need it anyway. My city is pretty dang high for crime rate, and I don't exactly live in the safest part of town, but I never go strolling around in the daylight, much less night. If I ever needed to defend myself, I'm competent with my fists.

A psychological decision
How, exactly? they won't give you anything you could kill yourself with, and they'll force feed you if you refuse to eat. Because you can kill yourself with anything. They can't not give you something off the slight chance that you could kill yourself with it, because that would leave nothing that they are allowed to give you.

Knuckle cracking- arthritis or not?
Heh, well that was when I was still landing on my behind, so they were being bent pretty far. It would be like, I landed on my feet the right way, but the rest of my body didn't make it so I got this. . . weird. . . movement in my legs as I fell back and they popped. Probably nothing to be concerned about. Especially since I can do them properly now :P .

A psychological decision
The radius is twice your height. Meaning if you are 6 feet tall, from one end of the room to the other is 24 feet (6*2*2). Radius = the distance from the center to the edge, and the room is a hemisphere, so twice your height is the radius, times 2 for the diameter. I doubt you are 2.5 feet tall :P. Did it say radius? My bad. I thought it said diameter. And the 12 was the diameter, 10 the height.

A psychological decision
Twenty years in a 12 x 10 room? No matter what I could do in there, I would probably go mad from claustrophobia after a year. I need somewhere to go every once in a while. Still, I could survive to experience more of life, versus killing myself right then and there. But that's twenty years of my life wasted. . . Plus probably another five for rehab. I choose A. The psycological experiment could be the choosing of the rooms. If I choose B, I would be dead, but with A they might let me go. And if they don't, I'll survive somehow.

Guitar Hero/Rock Band Discussion thread
AJ, I move my whole hand from covering the first four buttons to the second four when I have to hit an orange, and then back when I have to hit a green. It works reasonably well for me. Except when I have to hit crazy combinations with my pinky, then I freak out and try to use other fingers, losing my positions entirely :lol: .
