To everyone wondering about why he used the blanket, the blanket covers the flash and prevents gun powder from getting onto the shooter. The lady was pregnant for 9 months so it's safe to assume that the baby was about to be born in a week or so. At that stage it's not a fetus anymore, it's a baby waiting to come out.

It doesn't matter what anybody says you can still choose to ignore it. By breaking down and showing that what the person said hurts or annoys you then you're only going to make them keep going. Keep your cool, hold in your anger or sadness, and by the time you get home you should have forgotten about it unless of course your one to keep grudges and that's not good at all...

360 update soon follows? :pray:

Good morning to you too. 1

Either way using words doesn't warrant getting a fist.

"Yo mama/sista/grandmama" "Fatty" Other stupid crap like that. Er, that's not verbal abuse. That's just stupidity moving air particles in the air. Verbal abuse is more than that, when they say it in anger, when it gets deep down into you; when they use horrific personal experiences against you in a jokingly manner. You seem to be comparing real life verbal abuse to that of F2P Lumbridge. Its not, its much more than that. Haven't been to F2P Lumby in awhile. Has it improved much? No matter what they're saying to you you can still ignore it. I have a wierd twitch in my left arm and I purposely keep my leg moving up and down to keep me awake in class. I've been made fun of for that but you just gotta ignore it. You're still using minor examples. Verbal abuse (Abuse, not teasing) is when it is going to do some serious psychological damage. Day and night, week after week. Later its not just the fact they're saying, but you start to think why would a human being be like this? To endure words of pain into another. You can't ignore an evil like that at that point, you gotta kick his [wagon] into a new one. Amen, a good [wagon] kicking can put an end to a lot of things. The kid that I beat up won't even make eye contact with me anymore. He took the stuff out of is locker in the locker room and moved to a different row even to avoid me lol. By beating the person up it shows that your no better than them. It shows that you must resort to violence to solve your problems and that doesn't look good to anyone. It's stupid to be physically violent to somebody who only made fun of you.

How did the rest of the conversation go? Did you make plans for a date?

[hide=119 anime facts]War sucks. You CAN have too many women. Smart people wear glasses. Music foreshadows plot. The less you care about sex, the more opportunities you'll get. (Inversely, the harder you try, the less you'll get.) When you die, make a long speech, and don't finish the last sentence. Snow means love. The best teams come in fives. In space, you can hear everything. There's always room for flashbacks! When in China, listen to your tour guide. The good guy always has the BLUE glow. Speak quietly, pilot a big mech. Believe in goddesses. Teachers have excellent aim with small objects. Vengeance with a mallet is the sweetest revenge of all. Honor is sexy; villainy is irresistible. Women are attracted to losers; men are attracted to ANYTHING. The coolest weapon is still the sword. The hero is never really mad until they hurt his girlfriend. Female androids are sexy; male androids are....male androids. The green-haired alien girl will always betray her people for the man she loves. School uniforms are cool only when the collar is open. A show without sexual tension isn't worth watching. Love knows no race, species, or logic. If it's homemade but tastes bad, grin and bury it (discreetly). Never trust a huge corporation. Romance never comes simpler than in a triangle. Never fall for the girl who names her mech with a French name. Never fall in love with a psychic. You can never have too much hair. Sweating is a sure sign of stress. Daydreaming leads to accidents. Everyone wants to conquer Japan. The cute, fuzzy creature isn't what it seems. Cherry blossoms mean nostalgia. Always take gravity into account. Settings and faces are self-generating. Losing your temper can be therapeutic. There's nothing sexier than high heels on a mech. You can never have too many subplots. If she sings, she's doomed. You always remember the sad endings. Double suicide is romantic. Outrageous vehicles only make the hero cooler. Nothing delays romance like unruly neighbors. Fancy ice cream is for girls only. The most virtuous character will die. Hot water has innumerable benefits. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No matter how much blood is lost, no one can die by a nosebleed. (The same theory above applies to vomiting.) The girl with the curly hair is always the seductress. If a sister falls in love with her brother, somewhere down the line you will discover that they're not blood related. The guy in the baseball cap is always more powerful than he seems. All demons/monsters have enormous genitalia. All young children can pilot mecha, you just need to give them a few days. It is possible to incorporate martial arts into any aspect of life. All high school kids in Japan have parents that are away on extended business trips. The oldest sister is the nice one, the youngest sister is the brash one. You can do anything to the human body as long as you hit the right pressure point. Consuming enormous amounts of alcohol daily will never have ill effects. All major villains either want to take over the world or blow it up. When someone paints up their face, they mean business. Everyone in Japan has excellent singing voices. No matter how many times you rebuild, Tokyo keeps getting destroyed in a massive fireball. The martial arts expert is always defenseless against a slap from the girl who loves him. TAKAHASHI'S LAW 1: Food is a powerful motivator. When women are sent out to fight the bad guys, there's always a hunk busily watching over them, often in secret. The longer it takes to say what your punch is called, the less effective it is. "Baka" does not mean a student going for his baccalaureate degree. The more possessive a woman gets, the less likely she will end up with the man of her dreams. TAKAHASHI'S LAW 2: The two-foot-tall old geezer is someone to be feared. No matter how big the mech/labor/mobile suit is, if it runs around the corner, the guy chasing it loses the trail. Extraterrestrial, demons, time travelers, etc. all want to alter the course of history by letting Oda Nobunaga win. The fate of the planet rests in the hands of the seemingly normal high school student. The heroine must shred her clothes while transforming into something to fight the bad guys. True evil can never be destroyed, only banished to some nether realm where it awakes after a few hundred years. TAKAHASHI'S LAW 3: When being hit on the head, it's the most natural thing in the world to tuck your third and fourth fingers in while keeping the others extended. Even the bravest souls can be made weak and helpless by the sight of a cute little puppy or kitten. Never love a Gundam pilot : you're just destined for disappointment (or a funeral). All persons under the age of 50 can do a ten foot vertical jump from a standing position. Never trust a guy with shiny teeth ESP causes more trouble than it solves The vampire isn't _always_ the bad guy Nice things can come out of video stores that appear from nowhere Idiot captains win battles against impossible odds Order takeout at every opportunity--you might get lucky with a wrong number. The police are never anywhere there is a large amount of property damage. All high school principals in Japan are clinically insane. All people with esper powers give off multicolored auras. Just about any outer space villain has his sights set on destroying the Earth. (in conjunction with #92) No other planet in the universe will be able to stop said villain except the Earth. Any character can make a leap of 300 ft or more if given a good running start. A samurai sword can cut through anything. All characters over the age of 60 shrink in height in direct proportion to their age. When uncovering a fabulous treasure, the thing will be large enough to completely destroy any surrounding structures. TAKAHASHI'S LAW #4: An anti-climax is a good climax. Anime villians have the best deaths. Any love interest will always be possesed by a demon. Mallets can be stored anywhere on anybody. If the anime has the word "idol" in the title, then you know that it has to be good. Takada Yumi really does sing that bad, and people still buy her CDs. If you make enough porno movies, eventually you can get famous enough to star in commercials. "Iijima Ai desu! 'Manga manga no mori mori!!'" There is no such thing as a public anime showing without heckling. You can spot how popular a show is by looking at the number of H doujinshi it has. The smartest people on r.a.a. never post, which is why the conference's overall IQ is so low. If the lyrics to the OP song are printed on the screen, then you're watching a show that's not for your age group. The sexiest girls are drawn by artists whose last names start with "U". The English words in Jpop songs are put there only because they sound good, since they don't make any sense with the rest of the lyrics. If you post on the MLs more than Hitoshi does, then you probably post too much. The hero always loses the first fight with a new enemy. The guys with two earrings are from the Negaverse. Don't trust the guys with two earrings. Any truly evil person who changes sides for the woman he loves will die in that episode. You CAN do it, but only when it's funny or REALLY important. You can never have too many carrots. Hair comes in every shade of the rainbow - and we do mean pink, purple, blue, green.... The song "Cry Me a River" takes on a whole new meaning.[/hide]

Would health bars be any better for a game like CoD?

"Yo mama/sista/grandmama" "Fatty" Other stupid crap like that. Er, that's not verbal abuse. That's just stupidity moving air particles in the air. Verbal abuse is more than that, when they say it in anger, when it gets deep down into you; when they use horrific personal experiences against you in a jokingly manner.

I've been made fun of for that but you just gotta ignore it.

Bernie Mac, Heath Ledger, Isaac Hayes lololololol. I'm going to be exiled, aren't I? OT: It's good that you're able to ignore so much riku, but do these people ever actually stop bothering you? Occasionally they'll try again after about a week but then they just bore themselves. I've got more important things to deal with than someone rubbing their hand on my head and talking about my mother.

"Yo mama/sista/grandmama" "Fatty" Other stupid crap like that.

Or instead be the sloth that doesn't worry about a persistant little fly and moves on with his life. Dizzle: Niiiiiiice.

More realistic in the sense of not being able to take out all the bullets and being able to stitch yourself back up in a matter of seconds. And yes it does depend on the game I suppose but which would you want if you were making a game?

To all of your examples you can't let it phase you, no matter how much. If it's verbal it should be easy to ignore, eventually they'll get bored with you and move on to a target that does react. If it's something like shoving you everytime you get on the bus, sit in a different seat or dodge it.

In games a health system would be a health bar or a regeneration system. This thread is to discuss the pros and cons of each one and tell which you prefer. Pros of a health bar: Needing med packs adds realism to the game. In co-op you can tell a friend that you're low on health so they can heal or provide cover rather than tell them you're dead. The health bar came first. In some games you can increase the limit of your health bar. Cons of a health bar: If you get an autosave when low on health you're dead if there is an army between you and a med pack. You must go out of your way to search for med packs. Takes up a small section of the screen. It may be small but if an airborne enemy is behind your health bar are you going to notice? Pros of regeneration: You can get right back into the game after being shot, no searching for med packs. No bad autosaves Allows for fast paced online. Cons of regeneration: The 'dying' effect takes up more of the screen than the health bar. It generally makes things less visible... The 'duck behind a wall and perform 5 second surgery on yourself' takes away the realism... Now I ask you. What's your favorite?

The 50s? What are you talking about? Fallout takes place in the future where 50s stuff came back into style.

Copied it from the In-Crowd Out-Crowd thread. Points pl0x. The points were a lie. :twisted: On topic: It isn't so easy as people think to ignore what people say. Sure one off comments are pretty easy but if someone is digging at you constantly again and again it becomes a lot harder to shrug off. If it's easy to shrug off the first time what makes it harder to shrug off the thousandth?

If it's been reduced to verbal abuse and 'backstabbing' then what's your problem now? It honestly cannot be that hard to ignore someone saying something about your mother. Instead of holding grudges against these people why don't you be the better man and turn the other cheek?

Learn to have fun. Careful guys pyromancers are on the loose. :uhh:

So if someone were to call you the "n" word all the time, and constantly throw racial slurs and hateful [cabbage] about the color of your skin at you, you'd just smile and take it in stride? I highly doubt that.... If so though, then good for you for being able to take it. Smile? No, I really just don't care as the color of my skin means nothing to me.

It always annoys me when people tell me wikipedia isn't a good scource. Me:"Just Wiki it." Them:"No, it's a bad scource." Me:"Why?" Them:"Because anyone can edit it" Me:"And it gets changed back in a matter of minutes what's your point?" Them:"My teacher says not to use Wiki as a scource anyway" Me:"So use the scources at the bottom of the page..." And it just keeps going on....

I was looking for it on LIVE. Any word on when it'll be back? I wants it nao!!!

Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. Seriously, getting so worked up over being called "fat" or "ugly" or "Twitchy" only gives them more of a reason to pick on you.

WoW is better by far. Lelouche vs. Suzaku
