Death Note: Symbolism
Lol. Yeah right. If you haven't seen the anime and want to, go watch it now and don't be reading a thread discussing it in its entirety :wink: . Although for courtesy's sake I'll hide mine.

Death Note: Symbolism
Love Death Note :o [hide=spoilerz]Interesting points you brought up there. I am intrigued by the whole apple thing. I always regarded it as an irony, that something so pure and healthy was the Shingami parallel to alcohol/other drugs. You took it a whole lot further. Interesting. On your second point, I agree as well, and I thought of that myself while I was watching it. However, in the anime they did state that alone, Near or Mello was incapable of catching Light, but working together they were greater than L and were able to finally do so, although one did die in the process. Sort of a greater than the sum of its parts idea.[/hide]

What defines Rock these days?
The general modern music genre scale goes like this: Music I like = Rock Music I hate = Emo Unless they listen to rap or heavy metal, in which case it is so difficult to mistake them for rock that Homer Simpson has a hard time doing it.

All I have left on Medium now is Lou and Kinights of Cydonia. . . which is frikkin' impossible on any difficulty other than Easy. I can't get better than like 75 percent on the Amending Chorus on slow :lol: . Such awkward combinations. . .

Tip.It Premium?
What he said. :D Yeah, the last one was won by look_its_rob I think, and that was a long time ago now. Do a new one! And I wouldn't introduce any kind of payment to these forums. I like our community as it is. If any brand new chicken feather could come in and buy better priveleges than the rest of us, we would have a hell of a time with him lording it over us. That goes for established users as well.

Teens kill 7 year old Girl with Mortal Kombat moves
Ok. The laughing part is over. Now that is seriously screwed up. Look at her injuries. . . how the hell are you [developmentally delayed]ed enough to beat around a seven-year-old with martial arts to the extent of giving her injuries like that. At least they won't reproduce while in jail. And I agree with Lionheart that the video game spin is just a bias towards the industry. They could have got those moves from watching a wrestling match.

Runescape on PS3
The same question has been brought up with the Wii Opera Browser. I will assume the same answer applies: The consoles do not support Java Runtime Environment, therefore cannot play Runescape.

So and so fansite is better! No, this fansite is better!
The irony from some people on this thread is astounding. When I played, I used Zybez for the market price guide and whichever fansite had the best quest guide, but I only ever joined TIF so here I'm staying. And since I don't play any more there's no need to be concerned with all the other little fansites.

How did you ever do My Name Is Jonas without hammer-ons? :lol: I'm on the last song set on Meduim, all the other ones completed bar Knights of Cydonia :lol: . I 4-starred that one on easy first time, then Medium came and :shock: .

Argh. So many idiots about music...
1) Fall Out Boy aren't emo. They just suck. 2) Indie Rock is good. Emo is not. 3) I don't like certain music because it sounds bad. 4) So what?

Marijuana, Is It Actually Bad?
Marijuana = recreational activity Caffeine = hard drug Alcohol = hard drug You say keep two hard drugs legal, while banning all soft drugs? And smoking is a recreational activity. Basically, all that scale is demonstrating is the influence that propaganda has on people. I agree about your line, I think you put it very well, but it is ridiculous to place marijuana on the bad side of the line in the middle of hard drugs such as cocaine and heroin when it is a soft drug and no where near as harmful or addicting as caffeine, which is on the good side. Next to alcohol, of all things, one of the most harmful drugs out there. And 'recreational activities' includes smoking and other forms of taking drugs, so that really can't be there. Alcohol being on the good side of the line really kills your argument. You say its there because it is drunk in moderation - as opposed to the ridiculously immoderate and excessive smoking of marijuana? Please. Allow me to again rehash statistics: marijuana has never been the direct and sole factor in a smoker's death, and in the last several years only 280 related deaths have been recorded. Compare that to the drunk driving deaths, alcohol poisoning, liver disease, etc.

The Sig Rating Game
2/10 its a stats sig, and I don't understand what's supposed to be the significance of the quote, even though I know where it came from.

Never Tell Me the Odds - New Pixel Sig
He could do that on free programs like Paint.Net or GIMP Or PSPX, in which I do all of my stuff :P . But that's cheating. Nah, I played around with it a bit, and it never came out good. It always looks too dark for a glow. So I think I'll leave it as is.

Never Tell Me the Odds - New Pixel Sig
V3 (Final?): Smoothed out the lines on the Death Star crater, and rounded out the eclipse. I don't see anything more to be done with it, unless anyone has any suggestions on how to make the lightsaber glow a bit less intense.

Yeah. Right. I would get destroyed on Expert. I'm still trying to get used to the blue button :lol: .

42/42 songs on Easy. I feel cool 8-). I'll try out Medium tomorrow. Oh, and after playing through the whole career mode, I went back to do Slow Ride again (which I 3-starred first time around, it was the first time I had ever even touched GH) and it was so easy it was hard :XD: . Wayyyyyyyyyy too slow.

Official TIF Holiday Thread!
I think you should change the poll to: did you get Super Mario Galaxy for Christmans this year?

Just got this for Christmas. *Runs off to leave noobville as quickly as possible*

A troubled artist needs help + few Offtopic questions
If you already have something out there, and people are expecting more material, isn't that enough motivation to write? Hell, I have a series going on in the Varrock Library and the people who read that are enough to make me keep writing it, even when I really don't feel like it. I'd say the hard part is over; you've got something published, now you have motivation to write more, unlike before anyone knew about you and you could give up and choose a different career path any time.

Never Tell Me the Odds - New Pixel Sig
It's saved as a PNG. And I didn't make any shadows because the entire landscape is one big shadow, hence why it is so dark. There's no light reaching the planet from the eclipsed sun. Yeah, I should probably work on the glow patch. But right now I'm going to bed. Merry Christmas everyone.

"The Game" How Far Can You Go?
There's your lyrics, Uno. Hm, haven't tried this in a while. Anyone know what the hell I need to do for fake 20? That song is so annoying, it's affecting my cognitive abilities. . .

The Elemental Rifts - Chapter 6 up now... READ OR DIE! Haha!
Definitely unique this time around, good chapter. And I implore you not to judge Eragon on the basis of the movie. The movie took the book, dunked it in acid, set in on fire, and shredded it into tiny pieces. And it sucked.
