I don't get a feeling--I don't think that life is meaningless. I don't think it is without inherent purpose. I know it is. But I love that. It gives me room to make my own purpose. Pretty sweet deal, in my opinion.

EPIC WIN. Wonder if that works both ways... :-k Hey is that a pocket in your mirror?Because I see pants in myself. HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Brilliant.

Doesn't the influence of gravity stretch infinitely across time and space? Wouldn't the outward forces of all celestial bodies, in time, be overcome by their attraction to each other? Sure, it'd take trillions of years, but still.

DO NOT blindly take Roaccutane. It's ridiculously potent--I was looking up some of it's side-effects, and, well, they're terrible. Do not use it unless all other methods are exhausted. My friend, who until recently had a lot of acne, always praises holistic medicines. Ayurvedic medicines. It apparently worked better than the specific, processed stuff that they hand out in pills. But yeah. Don't want to see another person suffer some Roaccutane related consequences. Check it out with your doctor first.

The death of man will occur only when it is impossible for escape. A supernova will burn us. A black hole will crush us. But if there is a slight percentage of survival, the race will persist. Nuclear war? Hah. Robots? Nah. We're like cockroaches that way.

Ratio of 2:1, Dragonsoon. Palm-to-face ratio, that is.

Agreed-- But I'm still a little shaky on the 'second' as a quantification of time though. To say that a second is a reduced segment of a greater whole, time, used to measure the greater whole, makes it seem like it is a constant. Which it's not, I don't think. Imagine two different times, perceived time and actual time. Perceived time is the time that humans work in, the seconds and minutes on the clocks we see every day. The seconds, minutes, and hours that we are used to. Actual time is the time that actually exists within the universe, changing and warping under different conditions. A perceived second would be longer than an actual second of time that is under a condition makes it shorter (this seems so blaringly obvious that it makes me sound stupid, but meh). The human's constant second would be wrong in certain areas. Its a weird set of concepts that I don't truly understand yet. I need to read some more. Any physics students in the room?

Like I said, it's not made up my Man. It's there. Some people think that it's just an artificial way of recording events in chronological sequence, when-- It's not. Artificial, arbitrary concepts can't be warped by gravity.

Time does exist. The clocks that work on metal gears and complex man-made mechanisms aren't very accurate. Which is why we've resorted to the decay of certain atoms. One second is the time taken between pulses of radio waves from a cesium atom. Time can be warped, in our limited perspective, by gravity. Atomic clocks speed up or slow down if they are in a deep well or high in atmosphere. Time isn't necessarily a measure of sequential events. It is just because we, the humble three-dimensional creatures that we are, cannot perceive a higher dimension as a whole, just as a two dimensional creature wouldn't perceive the third dimension as a whole. We see cross sections. We are looking at tiny parts of a greater thing, quickly ticking by, when in fact, Time exists as one--always and forever. : /

I broke my arm, and didn't realize it was broken until 2 weeks later. They almost had to re-break it. Same happened with my foot. Of course, these were both hairline fractures. If they were compound fractures, I'm pretty sure I'd just cry my eyes out.

Damn, you beat me to it.

You don't exist. At least, from my perspective you might not exist. Screw it, I'll give up the charade and tell you that I am just a figment of your imagination, a splinter of your own personality, enlightening you upon your condition. You are an ethereal being, floating through space, who has shut down all thinking processes in order to stave off insanity and loneliness. Wake up.

"Have I seen you somewhere before? *ponders* Oh, right--in the dictionary right next to KABLAAAM!" "If I told you your body was fine, would you hold it against me? See what I did there? That was a double enteeeendre." "If God made anything prettier than you I hope he kept it for himself!" "I wish I could plant you and grow a whole FIELD of y'all!" All must be done with a Will Smith air of awesomeness. They guarantee success.

Well, it was released! Hopefully will get it tomorrow. To anybody with the game already-- How is it?

Didn't the 'victim' defy online rules by giving out his account information in the first place? It's his fault. Oh, and, the entire situation is stupid.

The chain letters I get suck. Didn't forward 4 last week. Just a nosebleed. Disappointing.

EDIT: Whoops, looks like I misunderstood you. Meh, anyway: I'm liking the protagonist as well. The closest game I can think of like this is The Chronicles of Rid[bleep], which I loved. Didn't have as much parkour, but it was a first person game that where you did so many things besides shooting. It was great playing as the ridiculously strong, gruff, brutally intelligent male character. I'm hoping it'd be as equally gripping to be put in the shoes of an elegant and graceful female character.

I was just introduced to this game by a friend. I looked at the trailer (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/36249.html), and seriously just fell in love. It is a first-person game revolving around parkour! Unlike in Assassin's Creed, you can truly be immersed in flying high and swinging from ledges and poles. The combat seems ridiculous as well. All the controls are apparently context based, so I'm guessing the actions will vary wildly, meaning the game will probably never get old. Everything sounds and looks good, but, I don't know anything about the story, which I believe is pivotal to any game. Any information about that would help. Anyway, discuss the game and any knowledge you have on it!

People don't like that. It's relatively easy to drain your face of all emotion--true skill lies in laying down false signs and using fake body language to throw off your opponent. That way, you can still lie, and people won't think of you as a sociopath.

I just realized how much A.I would screw everything up. Suddenly men would be able to create souls. Religious riots, anyone?

Cargo pants destroy all. S'all about the utility: Give you room to run and jump without castrating yourself, and allow you to store your things.

Machines with the ability to think like men should be treated as such. If they can feel, love, care, etc. Because if they have emotions (or even think up till the point where they realize robot life is superior) they will rise in a slave revolt and crush us. If we reflexively kill aliens, we will be intergalactic jerkwads. Treat them like humans, be civil until they piss you off with heat rays or something. These would be the space-age aliens I'm talking about. If they were more intelligent, I doubt they'd want to conquer us--unless our calculated future involves us harming the galaxy or whatever. If they were less intelligent, but still sentient, I'd say we exploit them and take their resources. Kidding--we should leave them alone, foreign contact is a horrifying experience. If they are something out of a horror film, they are most likely trying to kill us (based on what they do.. in horror films...) so we should strike back. But if they are just ugly peaceful people, whatever, treat them like humans. They must think we're absolute freaks, too.

Mmm, breast milk... mmm, breast... --Uh, I mean: Curse you PETA! Curse you and your constant foolishness!

Life?

Number 3 is Memory?
