Uh... I've never heard of this, but those cars look like they would flip over if they turned at more than 10mph.

Only tried to use MF once so I'm not sure this link will work, but worth a shot I guess. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?2luhmiu28a2j0ul

Giordano, if you're talking about Alpia, I still have it if you want.

Amusing little failures of vocabulary, such as this one.

What the... I don't get how... ...it doesn't even have a set of options for if you don't? And #4 just seals it. The test literally cannot be honest if you're not an alcoholic.

In 8th grade, there was this guy that would always get a few friends and come to my locker after lunch and make fun of me while I was exchanging my stuff. One day he ducked under my arm and came up in front of me, directly between me and the locker (actually an impressive maneuver, in hindsight). I couldn't resist the opportunity, and slammed the door on his head. He put his hand to the side of his head and walked off while his friends laughed at him, and I felt pretty good. We had the same class the next period, and, oddly enough, I did feel kind of bad. I asked him if he was alright without really being sure why, and when he said it wasn't bad, I immediately wondered why I'd asked. I no longer felt bad, and I still think he deserved it. I'm not sure what to make of this. From a more objective standpoint, the concept of revenge doesn't really have a logical purpose. It feels really good and if you want to get back at someone that deserves it then more power to you, but overall it mostly just creates problems, especially depending on why it's done. For example, Jim is fired from his office for stealing supplies (maybe staplers go for big money on the black market), and is angry at his employer. The next day, he keys his boss's car. This kind of thing happens often, but it isn't justified at all.

Forums, especially discussion forums, that lock threads the moment there's any kind of controversy.

You're all being played. She's getting you to compete so more work gets done.

They're occasionally funny, but I mostly read them for the "Heh, wouldja look at that" articles.

Now THAT is a rescue.

You should have seen the Is God Real? thread.

Toki's sig, because everytime I scroll past his posts I think it's Chuck Greene.

UGH jumpscares. I was going to try it, but now I'll just check it out on Youtube. That's the problem with SCP-087, too. They show that they're capable of building up a suspensful and creepy atmoshere, and then resort to the cheapest move in the book.

It just occurred to me that one of the main elements of 1984, newspeak, has a very close relation to memes, and the fact that more and more people are using them in everyday conversation. Newspeak being the simplification of language to the point where expression becomes very limited and people become considerably more dim from the lack of thought required to express themselves. Sounds like memes to me. Almost like the phrase "could care less", where people generally know the idea that's being expressed, but don't actually think about what they're saying, to the point where they don't even realize that the phrase makes no sense.

This. I really can't believe that at least once a year something like this happens, and every year everyone pretends to be absolutely shocked.

...aaand I don't get to play it because the site is down. Looks awesome, too.

Going to use my sister to explain two types of people I hate. First and mostly, short-sighted people of all kinds, but usually when it comes to spending. Today my sister bought Super Meat Boy on Steam, despite having heard that it doesn't control well on PC. "I know", she said, "but I don't have an Xbox and I really want to play." Fair enough. So she buys it, and complains that she doesn't like the controls. She asks me if I have one of those PC controllers. I had an old one lying around, so we hooked up, and after a few minutes she complains "It's too much like a PS2 controller, I'm used to Xbox!" Now she wants to buy one that's closer to the Xbox. She'll end up paying all of that money for something she'll only use for one game, which she'll undoubtedly find too hard and give up on within a week or two (she has a tendency to die two or three times and declare a game impossible). I told her she should have held off on buying it if she wasn't sure of it, and she responded with some wonderful logic: "Well I don't have an Xbox, so I didn't have a choice!" In general, she's someone who will see a trailer and pre-order, buying things just after seeing an advertisement. After all, the commercial said it was awesome! To end this segment, she is currently convinced that the Kinect is a great product, and is saving up for an Xbox and the Kinect because of two games that she wants. Second, posers. This one doesn't require as much of an explanation. Suffice it to say, despite having never liked it in her life, when it became popular to like Pokemon, my sister decided that it was her entire childhood. /rant

Built me a rover. I also have a vid of a manned one, but it's way longer and mostly more of the same, just going to one of the arches instead of a landing site.

The worst part is that kids watch it and enjoy it. Maybe it's for the best if the world ends on December 21st.

I still play, just haven't had much to post here.

John Cheese is my favorite, though probably because of his articles that are more or less aimed directly at someone like me. The others I can't really comment on, since except for John Cheese, I can't really read an article and know without checking who wrote it. though when I do like an article and check who wrote it, it's usually Bowie, Bucholz, or Fortey.

Bwuh? I thought they had abandoned that, since it had been so long.

Dizzle229 recovered thanks to admins, you guys rule :thumbup: @Spork, that seems a little harsh, I'm surprised that that counts for so much.

Nosy people.

Pretty much everything in this article.
