Territorial Army. And... possibly.

WRONG!!! There is an official definition of the word planet... Why do you think Pluto isn't a planet anymore? OMGFAIL!!! It is a planet, it's a dwarf planet.

I know, I appreciate the irony :P. But Wikipedia has worded it better than the other definitions.

1. Actually it does. And the weddings depend if you're Catholic or not. The Pope declared 2 of his annulments illegal, but it doesn't matter if you're of another religion. 2. I repeat: 5. 6.

Are you just saying "(except hypercam)" to avoid being told to look at the sticky? Honestly, read through other topics about the same question. Camstadia, Fraps...

What I really dislike is people going for a sympathy vote. "Oh, it's only my first/second/third/x sig. :'(" Any signature can be good, regardless of number, you just need to know what to do. As for the signature... [*:16kynj0x]Render. Reaaally doesn't fit. You have a bluey-grey background with a pink render. That's an OHMYGAWSHDONTDOTHAT. It's quite highly contrasted, is it an inked drawing or something? Also looks quite squashed. If you're going to use a render, atleast fix the proportions. Has it been stroked? That looks bad. Why is it on top of the border? Border should be on top of everything. Unless you're doing a pop-out of course. You should also limit yourself to 1 render. 2 different renders are distracting. [*:16kynj0x]Text. Bad font choice. You have a soft background and an iffeminate render with some sharp font. Would've done better with a more calligraphy/signature font. Lose the bevel and emboss and drop shadow. You should only really use two layer properties on text; outer glow and stroke. The stroke should be limited to a maximum of 2px. (1px for most font, 2 for pixel fonts) But even then, the outer glow should only be white and on about 20% opacity. [*:16kynj0x]Background. It's a good background, but fractals hardly ever go wrong. Problem with fractals is getting a good render, which you haven't. Contrast. More. +~5 brightness, +~20 contrast. (Rule of thumb, remember it.) Flat colours are flaaat. Use a clouds layer/gradients instead of hue and saturation. Focus? There is none. Use gradients to focus on the render. Oh, and OMGFORUMDRAMA @ GAY MDH.

So around ten thousand years ago. 9. Peyton Randolph was the first president of the Continental Congress, which isn't the US presidency. He was succeeded by Henry Middleton, who would also be not called a president of the USA. 10. Not justifiable, they use a been or pungi that is made from a gourd. So some of the answers are just weird. Thanks for missing the whole thread, Viktor. 1. He anulled 4 of his weddings, this means to cancel it out, as if it never happened. Completely different to a divorce. 2. I explained a few posts ago, nostrils are not always external/tip of the nose. Fish have nostrils, but have no nose. 3. A whale's gullet is very small. Come on, what does the mammel feed on? Krill. Krill is about the size of your fingernail. It doesn't need a very big gullet. 5. Perovskite makes up a very large percentage of the Earth's mantle. The area alone of the mantle is a large percentage of the whole of the planet. 6. The most recent re-reading made it to be 616. Most definitions go by the most recent update, right? 7. You completely missed this one. Like I said in the answer, 4 of them are COMMONWEALTHS. Not the same thing. 8. Wikipedia isn't exactly a great source of information. It's open to change from anyone. TECHNICALLY we are in an ice age, geographers define an ice age as when there are polar ice caps. We are nearing the end of an ice age, most people interpret an ice age as when ice covers the world, but the ice - due to global temperatures - have retreated to the poles. 9. Once again, it's the first president of AMERICA, not USA. Big difference. 10. Ever watched any wildlife documentarys featuring snakes? Have you watched when a snake spots something? It will twist and weave in an attempt to lure it's prey and disguise an attack. "Charmed" snakes just watch the flute because it's been trained to watch something, generally something inside the flute, but it can't tell the difference when there's nothing there. Re-read the thread and then "justify" that the answers I provided are wrong.

Really? I always imagined you older, but acting younger. :P And OHGODSHINSNOTAVIRGIN. YOU LIED TO ME. D: lol forum drama

Isn't that just the American accent? :? I've always pronounced it that way. I don't see how you could really pronounce it wrong? :? I've always said it. .. Neh-var-der[/b] All in the accent really, I pronounce it "Nerr - varr derr". But if you want a basic description of a "chav", it's someone who thinks they are what they're not. They try to look rich by buying for label not clothes, they buy because it has NIKE written across the front. They'd probably wear a leotard if it had "THIS IS NIKE PRODUCT WORTH ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã500" across the front of it. They also feel the need to muscle everyone, regardless of whether the person has done something.

Let's examine our options: [*:3ew01dmy]The sort of parent who doesn't mind their child suffering tooth decay [*:3ew01dmy]The sort of parent who doesn't mind their child bouncing off the walls on caffeine (which has a more pronounced effect on young children, as do artificial colourings) [*:3ew01dmy]The sort of parent who doesn't know better And also, the sort of parent who doesn't mind paying hundreds of dollars in dentist and health bills. BAHA, over here we got NHS> :P

Let's examine our options: [*:1sbkp037]The sort of parent who doesn't mind their child suffering tooth decay [*:1sbkp037]The sort of parent who doesn't mind their child bouncing off the walls on caffeine (which has a more pronounced effect on young children, as do artificial colourings) [*:1sbkp037]The sort of parent who doesn't know better So teenage mothers then?

What sort of irresponsible parent would let their 2/3/4/5 year old child drink 2 liters of diet coke? I call BS.

Chavs.

Whoa, really? Daaaaaaaaang.

Sorry, when I clicked to look at this thread I was expecting something to critique on. My mistake.

Attention Halo fanboys: play other FPS'.

Visualiser came in at 3.00. They just had a few bugs so within a day or two they jumped to 3.01 and then 3.02. :P I don't particularly see the point in emulating/homebrewing on the PSP though. I'm just waiting until we can get PS1 games onto it. :D

Sleep =/= Coma

I stopped reading there. Run 'n' gun games are very tiresome and pretty boring. Halo made it worse with their suit thing that can regenerate. Seriously, I played on the hardest level and I could simply kill everyone in a room, hide, carry on. Rinse and repeat. An ideal FPS would be one such as Rainbow Six (Realistic damage, as in you can only take a few hits), but in a Medal of Honour setting. I hate "one man army" games, in real life they'd never send a single person to kill X amount of whatever. If anyone remembers a game called Operation Flashpoint, you'd know what i'm talking about. You start out as a private in a war during '91 and are always with a group. (Except one level where you get lost from your group after you get ambushed.) You are constantly on your toes looking for any stragglers who managed to sneak past incase they get you. If you get shot in the legs, you go down and are forced to crawl. If you get shot in the chest, you have a lower stamina. If you take one in the arm, your aim is greatly affected. If you take a bullet to the head, that's it - game over. None of this "I can take 50 shots before it even begins hurting my health", it makes for too easy gameplay. No doubt, W3D was simply a stepping stone towards Doom. Wolf just lacked a bit of contrast. The guns weren't different, they just fired quicker. The levels were quite often identical. (I guess it was an attempt to break out of a prison, so it's kinda a good thing it was the same) But nowadays when you look back on Doom, it seems to have little contrast. But to be honest, i'd much rather have Doom than most new FPS' being released.

Just because you don't know it doesn't make it wrong. Cad, he's right about the Devil number... it's 666. And I'm pretty sure the Stars And Stripes had 50 stars for a reason. Also, a nostril'sdefinition is 'an opening at the end of the nose' so I think that proves another one wrong. Re-read the first page. The devil's number on recently "changed" after a mis-interpretation was thought it to be 666, but they re-did it and found out it was 616. The "stars and stripes" has nothing to do with it. USA is divided into 50 areas, true. But they're not all states. By definition, about ~4 of them are commonwealths. Fish do not breath through their nose, yet they have nostrils. And if you want some more ranting material: How many planets are in our solar system? The answer: 80,000. Why? Asteroids, TNOs (trans-Neptunian objects) and the like are technically classified as minor planets. NASA have also never released an 'official' defintion to the word planet. Have more: How many moons does the Earth have? Answer: Atleast 7. Why? Luna (The only one we refer to as the moon) is the only one to have a strict orbit of this planet. There are many other NEAs (Near Earth Asteroids) that follow a less-strict orbit, but do orbit this planet. And finally: How many senses does a human have? Answer: Atleast 9. Why? Although the five main senses (Sight, Hearing, Touch, Taste and Smell) cover most things, there are others which are rarely referred to, yet are very important. Thermoception; The ability to sense heat on our skin. Equilibrioception; The ability to balance. Indicated by the fluid-filled cavities in our ears. Nociception; The ability to sense pain from skin, joints and body organs. Although you may think this falls under the touch sense, when was the last time you felt someone poke your kidney without touching your skin? This excludes the brain because it has no pain receptors atall, including headaches, which don't actually come from the brain. Proprioception; The "spacial awareness" ability. This lets you know where your body parts are in relation to your body without seeing them. For example; close your eyes and waggle your foot, you still know where it is in relation to your body. I could go on all day, but i'll leave it at that for now for people to think about.

Autophobia Protip: Nothing to do with cars.

Only get one game! pm and I will tell you loads of cool things just don't upgrade to anything higher than 2.71! Don't upgrade at all for now. exp is a (+][psp][%) tip.it'er. I suggest you go to http://www.psp-stuff.com or pm me. Infact just pm me, I will respond when im on my computer. This post was created on my psp. ~MAK Dont upgrade? I see you are a fan of homebrew. Which 80% are illegal. :| I'm on 3.03 and it's awesome. Finally got a visualiser for playing music, ability to turn off auto-UMD and more. The games i'd recommend getting are MGA:2 and Burnout Legends. Also Worms if you enjoy games like that. Also be sure to check the official PSP website (via the PSP) for free game demo downloads. Edit: Yea, MGS:PO looks aaawessssooomeeee. *Needs to check release date* But i'm going to agree with Deloria on this, you could've simply posted either in the existing Christmas thread or just create a thread purely asking what you should get for your PSP rather than "OMG I GOT AWSUM PRESENTZZZ". Makes you sound like a spoilt 12 year old.

Bleh. 16.

Whoa, whoa whoa... We can enter old signatures? :D If so, I use this: If not, I... uh, fail.
