Amusing. Wonder if the traction on those things affect the dog's running ability.

If it uses the same formula of MK1, That'd be pretty nice. Meaning characters get special moves, ridiculous voices, and obligatory whoopsy.

It is a pretty good anime series with memorable characters. It's a shame I didn't watch the second season or arc after the dark tournament arc. I might go do that later.

Probably some people want to discuss this Notable winners for major categories include. Best Picture: No country for old men Best Actor: Daniel Day-lewis (There will be blood) Best Actress: Marion Cotillard (La Vie En Rose) Best Supporting Actor: Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men) Best Supporting Actress: Tilda Swinton (Michael Clayton) Best Director: Joel and Ethan Coen (No Country for Old Men) Another year passed. I haven't heard of many of the films nominated except the popular ones and No country. I expected no country to win 1 academy award, but it looks like they racked up quite a few. Looks like theres a few movies I'd have to watch that I missed from last year.

RHCP - Gong Li

I'm going to do one of those school assignment topic things here for research purposes. I may or may not decide to choose the particular essay topic this topic requires, but anyways, it's still interesting to see input on this So the question would be: Do you guys practice environmental friendly actions (ie recycling)? If yes or no, why or why not. Pretty much asking for your motives. Anyways, my view on environmentalism is pretty lax and uncaring. I really don't think about the environment that much when I do stuff. For example, I don't litter because I think about the years it takes to throw away styrofoam; it's more about that I don't want to put trash lying around and putting a bother on someone else. Also for recycling, if there's recycling, I just do it because it's there. Not much of the 'guilt trip' that is often described when people practice recycling duties because we consume so much and emit much gases. Also, I guess I was just 'psychologically programmed' to do it when I was young to recycle and junk like that since it wasn't much of a hinderance to perform those tasks.

^agreed. Make some topics on your own and generate conversation. If we all just wait around for other people to make topics, you're going to get topics you don't like or are generic (to you) so you might as well create some topics about junk you do like talking about. Chances are there's going to be 1 other person who has an interest in it.

Stupid RISK. Lasts so freaking long.

T2: Judgement Day. This movie won't get old for me.

That's pretty hilarious. Those crazy people in Japan.

Paramore - Misery business

My Chemical Romance - Famous Last Words

Meant to say congratulate the site on reach this goal earlier. New goal should be doubling the posts and the length of the site. 5 years or so for 250000 posts. 10 years for 500000 Hopefully.

I object. I believe that although there is an illusion of choice, your mind comes to the same conclusion if confronted with the same circumstances. By that logic, there is no real choice, only calculated reactions to situations. It's not destiny in the mystical sense, but one could still say that all things are predetermined. Obviously, destiny is not in the same case as the mythological sense. I'm not sure if your mind will come to the same conclusion within the same circumstances. I guess it all depends on your way thinking whether spiritual or scientifically. Honestly though, there aren't much examples in the real world you can apply that the event was somehow predetermined. For most cases, I think most people would say it was by chance or coincidence that they were caught up in it. Only some people will say it was a test/sign by some divinity or unknown force. I don't personally believe in an illusion of choice myself. Sure there are many things/decisions in our life that seem to give us a choice or something (products/jobs/education for example), but could be predetermined by a collection of data given by analysts and corporations. Your overall life I believe still is chosen by yourself. We can't really say for sure that something that happens to someone (ie death/love) was predetermined or caused by choice. At least, this is what I think illusion of choice means. Correct me if I'm wrong.

........... ^I'm not the type of person who would start screaming into a battle.

I'm Asian (chinese) and I play piano and violin for about 9 and 8 years respectively. I'm an easy going person yet I have a short temper. I'm able to sleep almost anywhere; I don't mind sleeping on the ground. I don't post my full picture because 1) I'm lazy and even though each of my roommates have cameras, I don't feel like doing it. 2) I don't like having my picture taken as random. I have no idea why. I'm naturally trusting of others by giving them a benefit of doubt. I'm somewhat naive as well. That's all I can think of. (I r kinda private too)

Edit: oh crap double post my bad. Weezer - Smile

I think the definition of a hard game is like you said, you can't take the conventional way of going through it. You'd have to experiment with different strategies (ie trial and error) to find a way to beat it. It makes it fun and frustrating, but at least the game is beatable, and you improve your own skills in doing so. Take all those top down 2d spaceship/airplane/mecha shooter games. I think they're difficult as hell as bullets cover the entire screen, but people still find a way to memorize shooting patterns or time bombs right to be able to make it through those games. Hence, they beat it. Contra is another example. Game is hard, but fun to play and you can eventually beat it. A 'Time Consuming' game as Davis mentioned should be those games that are designed to have nearly impossible win rate, or designed poorly, plus they're just as bad with reasonable cheats such as infinite lives. Super Mario forever is just there to piss you off because if you miss up the momentum with Mario, you're flocked. As for games that are designed poorly, crappy hit boxes, overpowered enemies, cutscenes where the enemy can still shoot you, crap that happens as a result of the game design and it's not your fault that you died. and since the thread went off in a similar direction than I intended, I will plug my hard games (again): Target Earth Ghouls and Ghost Contra Hard Corps

Too many things on the internet these days that captivate kids into the virtual world. Parents need to take a few actions to make sure their kid doesn't end up like those mentioned. Because jeez thats some problems right there.
