I love this:

Smoking does make you look cool-- But not because you're inhaling from a cigarette. Its because it makes it seem as if you're burning with some internal fire, a demon whose anger escapes as a flowing gray. Its just inhuman. And sometimes, that makes things cool.

I love these. Text is a brilliant complement to the pictures.

I don't think Demotivationals are the same as the 'Motifakes' you guys are putting up. Aren't demotivationals meant to make you feel terrible? (The opposite of Motivational posters...)

Also inhumane. The people are still conscious, right? Well, if they're in their weird coma state, why not.

..."My Life Is Alright"?

You're called Dave? :D Hahahaha, no-- Its just that its a reference to the artificial intelligence from 2001: A Space Odyssey. An artificial intelligence that for some reason becomes ominous and unfriendly is scary to me. I'd like very much not to blow my chances at befriending another form of sentience. Becoming enemies will be... stupid, and counter to the great goal of uniting all intelligence under a common flag. Ahem. Anyway.

Condemned 2: Bloodshot. Got it for 7 Kuwaiti Dinars--about 25 dollars. Its amazing. I love first-person melee combat. Reminds me so much of the Chronicles of Rid[bleep], which I too cannot wait to get.

"I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that." That's freaking creepy.

Knights of The Old Republic revelation scene. If you've played it, you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't, don't ask and go play it! Freaking everything about Mass Effect was epic... And in Halo 3, when you reach the Ark. That scene is just ridiculous, especially if you had no idea what was coming.

Flow.

Then you might have a mind for physics, where every number has set significance and you are not left in a void of variables and symbols with no meaning.

Took AP Bio yesterday. AP Language and Comp tomorrow. Then AP Econ the day after. Well damn. Ive got the first two covered, but the terrible teacher I had isn't making me too confident for Econ. Doubt I'll get 5s in Macro and Micro.

So that entire euthanization thing wasn't an experiment? Stop jumping back and forth, man!

Using pain is so crude. Brain scans and associative tests using pictures and ideas as well as fragments of speech--that's something I can get behind. Would yield quite a lot of truth, unless you were dealing with a Buddhist monk who has supreme control over his feelings. Hell, once we figure out the connection between memories and dreams we can just intercept visual signals in the brain and display a person's life on screen--all while he or she sleeps. Right now all the visions created by the minds eye and harnessed by our devices are in 8-bit, though. We'll get there. Something tells me you will all fear the thought police more than these primitive torturers though. Sometimes sophistication that can target you is a great deal more frightening than barbarism that harms others.

Hm. Seems like we who do not know the true situation shouldn't speak so strongly.

Begin preaching like an overzealous christian missionary. Switch to an Arabic accent and start contradicting yourself. Switch again to a Hebrew-lined accent and go back on everything you've said. And then, snap quickly back to a neutral accent and say: "See how [bleep]ing annoying that is?" Take your seat.

Richard B. Rid[bleep]. If we're doing fictional characters, now.

I used to be like that until I realized nonconformity is the new conformity. Conforming so that you wont conform to the masses of the nonconforming is simply the second stage of unwilling conformity. On a large enough scale, we're all the same. You already acknowledged this. I just rephrased it in a way that made me seem unique. Even though I am not.

You've described the common constituents found in almost any typical television show minus the outer space theme. In fact, even Ben Ten fits under that. :| Also, lightsabers and the force.

What on earth is cool about Star Wars? The moral lessons imparted. The insane conflicts spanning worlds and ideologies. The simplistic story-telling, based on archetypes we all associate with. Stars Wars is ridiculously cool.

Sound can be directed. Think a large megaphone. With the opening made adjustable according to the size of the group you are trying to kill. Low intensity sound that isn't directly aimed at you might just make your teeth clatter.

Lets just capture zombies, tie their limbs to electromagnets and coils, and let them generate power for us.

If a base has been assembled... Sonic cannons set to match the resonance of bone with average porosity. Aim, fire, watch as zombies melt into still-living clumps of quivering muscle. Aim at hordes and run through several recommended bone-grinding frequencies until all hostiles are eliminated. If need be, the masses of flesh can be burned away with Lenin's flame-thrower. Sh'mon! We need tech! Who here is an expert at engineering and acoustics? Though without a permanent base and a generator (hand-pumped, if need be), such an effort would be fruitless.
