My first advice would be to stop making excuses for yourself, especially on an online forum. No one cares if you're good looking or not (if I had a frikkin' dime for every time I heard "I'm not ugly or anything" here), nor does anyone care about how many girlfriends you've had in the past, nor does anyone care that you're making excuses about not having friends by labeling "70% of the people" in your town as "stoners and [????]'s". Just leave that information out of your posts from now on, please. And my second would be that you aren't going to quit, ever. No one ever quits- they just stop playing.

You know Makoto, instead of spending ten minutes attacking him you could have just simply posted a list of the reasons why you find Runescape unique, instead of boasting that it is [between attack after attack] without giving a single example as to why it is. Not that I disagree with your point, it's just that you didn't back it up at all, nor did you really offer any point to be countered. If you want some proper debate, offer an intelligient response beyond "I think Runescape is unique, and you're a pompous moron for the following reasons...", if you would. So again, why do you find Runescape unique, compared to other MMORPG's? I believe this is what they call "evasion" [via ad hominem attacks]. Don't do that. Well you're quite the empathetic little bugger, ain'tcha?

Is that even worth mentioning :| ? No offense, but did you just not like it or something and give up the second week? And why the heck do you own shurikans o_O!?

From personal experience guys, you do have to learn to draw from life first, for not only anime but all styles. Drawing various anime styles isn't about taking shortcuts and avoiding learning how to draw life; on the contrary, you first have to learn to draw life first before you try to warp it :P . [Of course, though I like manga style, the only thing I really apply it to is the drawing of the face, so it could be a different case for complete, Western-style cartoonists :-k .]

I wouldn't "like to die". Not really something I think about. I used to think about heroic crap, but then I realized how pointless that is if you die from it. I prefer thinking about the journey, not the end >_>.

Pfft, lotta good that'll do ya in an open area or out on the streets :P . Being a fast runner would be much more useful :-w . Who's to say the two don't go hand in hand? :P Just because moving fast is a part of parkour doesn't mean someone who runs fast necessarily uses parkour :P .

Parkour :P (I don't think I own anything bigger than a pocket knife, never been much for weapons) Pfft, lotta good that'll do ya in an open area or out on the streets :P . Being a fast runner would be much more useful :-w .

It's because it's not relevant to the task at hand. What exactly is the gripe you have? What are you finding difficult here? Actually it is relevant. You are disregarding the possibility of a lineage tracing back to the first man in support of your argument, but you provide no evidence. :wall: ... :wall: Stop arguing semantics, for just a moment if you will. Think- is the origin of the human race something you need to know for a family tree? Is there a single family tree and existence that goes back to the origin of our species? If you can't figure it out, then keep it to yourself please. Find something actually important to argue about for God's sake: your trying to debate about a simple, cursory analogy, for reasons I have yet to understand. You're not even responding to warri0r's real point, you're just attacking an analogy.

Tolkien is a she. :lol: Don't care if I'm the third person to respond, that post's still funny.

Bleh, martial arts isn't for me [couldn't stand years of structured crap before I actually got to the real self-defense stuff], and I've gotten into basically no scraps in my life. I couldn't fight my way out of a paper bag, for thank god, rare is it that I'm going to need to.

Why not? Because, for all intensive purposes, it's completely unrelated and useless to the task at hand. It's a different topic all together- real family trees don't go back that far, ever. If you don't get the parallel warri0r's making, just think about it for a second, it'll come to you :| .

Guys^, it's just messing around. Calm down. Although, I would have to side with you in that every joking answer should at least be paired with one's serious one. Just making a sophmoric joke and not properly playing the game is no fun :| .

...ya.

You know stocks are long term investments, not short term, right? Unless you get lucky on a really good value stock, you're not going to be seeing much out of this with $100. If you went with a growth stock that shifted very little and grew 10+% every year, it would take you nearly a decade to make another $100 off that, and that's if the company stays strong for the entire time you hold stock in it. And that's not even factoring in fees or other factors that would cause you to have even less money than you already do. Your dad doesn't intend for you to make money, unless he wants you to find the next Microsoft (no); he's trying to get you to understand the process of buying and selling stocks.

Anon scares me >_>.

With those answers^ they make it sound like you're a failure as a person for choosing B, but some kind of amazing human for choosing A, where can have your wildest dreams and fantasies come true at no cost to you at all :| . The game is more so about being either an introvert or an extrovert; it's not a "I want to grow" vs. "I'm pathetic" hypothetical. Leave the responses out of it and just let people have fun with it -_-". Realistically, I wouldn't make my decision before I got in the experiment. I'd sit in the middle room, for at least a few weeks [assuming food is brought out based on the fact that there's a death option outside the room, not inside it], and see how it goes. Once I further understood my ability to cope with, or not cope with, being alone in solitary confinement for extended periods of time, only then would I make my decision. I'd like to say I'd choose A [currently it seems like the extremely obvious answer], but only once I've actually experienced being in that room for an extended period of time would I know whether or not my social needs are strong enough to drive me towards room B. I'd still eventually try and kill those bastards who trapped me in there no matter what I choose though.

I crack my ankle habitually (using a circular girating motion to get repeated, rhythmic cracks), nothing else; my knuckles or wrists crack accidentally every once in a while from quick movements, but overall, my ankles are the only things I really crack. Might stop that too though, from what I'm reading... o_O Uh, that's probably not the same thing as the whole air releasing method... maybe check up on that, 'cause I've never had my knees make any kind of cracking noise ever doing a kip-up, and I've been habitually doing them for a few years now.

I wonder... has he learned something from his own preaching? No, no, false alarm people...

B without a second thought. Give me a month or two, I'll find a way to kill at least one of those guys keeping me trapped in there.

Lol at all ya'll people making resolutions to get better grades. Senioritis ftw :thumbsup: .

Nah, the first one. I must have really slow reflexes or something- I can't keep going with that. I can only get maybe 2/3 of them at best because I keep hitting in between 'em and missing a few, and even though I'm going slower than the music, I still feel numb after that. Another Q: On Hard and Expert, do you guys move your hands for all oranges, pinky, or a certain combination of the two? If a combination (which I think is the proper way), how do you decide which method to do, and how often do you do either? Me, I never move my pinky; always shift my hand. It just feels unnatural moving just one finger for oranges and then having to shift it back, and it screws me up. But at the same time I still get messed with the handshifts at at least one point in each song [getting better -_-"]. So again, for Hard and Expert, pinky, whole hand, what?

Just give it four years...

Do you guys have any techniques for playing extremely fast notes without your fingers going numb? I try and do all the notes on Stricken, and not only can I not do it, but afterwords I can't even feel my fingers from the knuckles up...

Well said. Guys, don't act like it's impossible for god to exist just because everything isn't perfect in the world. Free will has it's prices, but it'd be pretty hard for us to be able to have souls without it.
