The Thinking Out Loud Thread V.2

[Muff Daddy]

As I'm wokring my way backwards through the different genres of Rock & Roll, I'm beginning to realize that Rock has got progressively worse since the 80's. This isn't to say that there isn't good rock out there. It's just that, on the whole, it's getting worse. Even going back 20 years, Rock then is far superior to rock now. I mean, comparing Iron Maiden to say, Nirvana is highly unfair because those are two different genres of Rock. But, I can still compare the two because they both fall under the jurisdiction of "Rock". Having said that, Iron Maiden blows almost every one of our present-day Rock bands out of the fucking water.

Keep in mind that I'm not an expert on Rock. I just know what sounds good to me. And this new shit they are trying to pawn off as "Rock" music these days does not sound good at all. Maybe it's not fair to use Iron Maiden as my standard, but when I compare their music to the shit that they are playing on the radio now, I'm forced to ask myself, "What the fuck is an Emo? What the fuck is a Staind? And who the fuck is Nickelback?"

There is such a gap in quality between the 80's and 90's. Apparently, "Emo" is an off-shoot of Punk which is a sub-genre of Rock, but I haven't made my way back to serious Punk music yet and from what I've heard of "Punk", I don't like it. Alternative is a sub-genre of Rock and I've heard most of what came out of the 90's. But as far as Alernative goes, how is Nirvana superior to 80's Depeche Mode?

The 80's gave us Metal in the form of Iron Maiden and Alternative in the form of Depeche Mode. The 90's gave us Metal/Alternative in the form of Alice in Chains and Alternative in the form of Nirvana, A Perfect Circle, and NIN (they stole so much from Depeche and Depeche stole so much from them it ain't even funny). And now we have Metal in the form of Papa Roach and Alternative in the form of FUCKING EMO?!?!?!

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO ROCK MUSIC IN AMERICA???


Also, WTF? Did Serp get banned?

[Septimus Prime]

One could make the argument that music, in general, is getting worse nowadays, though. I might even make that argument, if not for a bunch of new songs (admittedly, mostly from old artists) that I really like.

I do think, however, that the same opinion has been declared time and time again, since music is a dynamic medium that changes noticeably as years upon years of subtle changes add up. Look at how well rap and techno were received when they first got off the ground. Even today, where rap seems ubiquitous (too much so for my tastes, since I prefer soft rock and classical), there are lots of people who vehemently refuse to accept rap as a credible genre of music.

We can further extrapolate this argument to the world of art, in general, as modern artists rarely receive the appreciation of their predecessors, due to their "radical" works. Today, people like Piet Mondrian and Andy Warhol are accepted as credible, respected artists, but I highly doubt that such was the case during their respective peaks. But that's just how the art world works; innovation and creativity move faster than acceptance and even tolerance.

As for Serp, I don't know. It's possible, since he said some pretty mean-spirited shit in another thread, but I wasn't around for the heat of that.

[arcticninja]

haha, I just read about the whole AHVB vs. the jews fiasco


it gives me a small amount of satisfaction to see that whole situation unfold.


edit:

wow, I just realized that I've been wearing my sweater inside out all morning. I feel like such an idiot, but if anyone points it out before I get my bathroom break, I'm just going to play it gangster and say I meant to do it.

Million, Wind totally beats Water.

Most everything you listed as an advantage for water, you can do with wind too. You can trap someone in a wind tunnel, then just have heavy winds slam into him from all directions to crush him, or suffocate him. Or you could expand the air in his lungs and explode him from the inside. With heavy enough winds, you could level a city as well. If you could fire off short, pointed bursts of wind you could essentially have wind bullets.

Water's drawback is that, theoretically, if you got caught in the desert wouldn't that be a huge disadvantage? Or a burning building of some sort...where the water would evaporate before you could utilize it. But you could utilize wind no matter where you were. And then there's the flying, which would be mad fun.

**I've always wondered if you could fight Magneto in the middle of a forest or something, wouldn't this nerf him? I suppose he could always just use the iron in your body or something, but barring that unless he brought along some coins or some nails or something he'd be screwed.

AIR is everywhere, not wind. If you can't create water (or fire or earth for that matter) then you can't create wind either making it even MORE useless than water. There's water everywhere. If wind exists (meaning there's atmosphere) there's also water. it's not like there's no water in the desert, you just have to know how to find it and the power would allow you to do so. You can't build a nything out of wind. Water gives you the option of creating semi-permanent solids. You can freeze someone and walk away, where as you'd have to concentrate and constantly assault them to trap them with wind. Water can even exist where wind can't.

[Azrael]

It depends on the degree of control. If you could control air, that would be broken as fuck.

If you could create gale force winds that could destroy a city, then you could also stop a man in his tracks by just creating enough wind pressure all around him to ensure he can't move. It wouldn't be as convienent as freezing, but it would still get the job done, and it wouldn't have the drawbacks that freezing would. Suppose you just wanted to stop someone, not kill them?

Given enough control of the wind, it would start to resemble telekinesis. By using controlled burts of wind, you could move objects. Aside from fighting, this would be highly useful. I'm sitting down and my TV remote is across the room...no problem, just float it on over to me. You could probably even take out the trash without ever lifting a finger.

If you have have precision control of your power (and it seems like that's the case) you've got more possibilities with wind.

No, it just seems that way. Everything you've mentioned can be replicated with water.

Stuff about Rock

Rock is an interesting subject for me.

For those who don't know, I'm white. Middle class white males are typified as liking rock. It's something that we're supposed to listen to, if the stereotypes are to be believed.

My father loved KISS. He loved everything about 70's and 80's rock, and since my father is one of the greatest and coolest men to ever live (gotta respect the pops) I too was drawn into rock. I was ready to love rock and all its little bastard offshoots from the beginning, because rock rocked.

...or so I thought. Why didn't this music appeal to me? 'Classic' rock gets old quick without any new material, and all modern rock was angst. I mean, it's one thing to be angsty and listen to angsty music. It's another thing to think to not be angsty but think you're supposed to listen to angsty music.

Needless to say I moved on to other genres, and while there are still a few groups and subgenres I appreciate, I have by and large forsaken rock as a middle-aged slob with no purpose or drive any more, a mere shadow of its once promising and young self.

Kurt Cobain is by and large the focal point of this constant stream of angst. If only Kurt hadn't killed himself/been killed/exploded into gobs of bloody meat. By kicking the bucket at such a high point of popularity, fame, and acceptance, he essentially solidified his image forever as a martyr. 'Cobain was shotgunified for your angst, and it is only through the blood of his shotgun wounds that we can be made forever empty, grungey, and musically inclined. Let us pray.'

Maybe if he'd lived longer and gone on to do what all musicians do, that being to slowly either make music that is less appealing to the general public, stop making music, or just keep recording the same crap over and over again until people got fed up with it, maybe the entire genre wouldn't be locked in the idiot cycle it is today.

Whatever, long live Hip Hop and Power Metal.

[FistsofFury]

'Cobain was shotgunified for your angst, and it is only through the blood of his shotgun wounds that we can be made forever empty, grungey, and musically inclined. Let us pray.'



I really don't get all the Cobain worship. I'm not saying Nirvana was a piece of shit, but they weren't one of the greatest bands ever. It has to be because Kurt killed himself, and he was cute and strange. Soundgarden > Nirvana.

The music scene is different these days. It seems to me due to the internet (and before that I have no idea) bands can make money without signing to majors, they just have to be talented, willing to work and in general like each other. Bands can make money without any radioplay at all (and to get a lot of radio play you need money to bribe the djs, so having a huge powerful record company helps).

It seems to me the giant record companies have just decided to play dirty and make a bunch of money. Sign a shitload of crappy bands for an album or two, flood the market with shit until the public just gets used to crap and then switch music styles to do the same thing over again. Because they feel its not a safe bet to look for talent. But it is a sure bet to flood the market, its probably cheaper and easier.

But I could be wrong.

Well, if you're allowed to control the air in people's body, I think it should be allowed for Water users to control the moisture in the atmosphere, or the water in the human body.

[Dan?]

I really don't get all the Cobain worship.

Nor do I, but many people seem to view him in an almost holy light, hence my use of the satirical prayer bit.

Granted, there are good rock musicians out there, but something I've learned even from indie culture is this: I can't handle indie white kids. It's a culture I don't vibe with. Everyone is either trying to be: trendier, dirtier, or more artistic than everyone else. It's this idea of "I have to be more pretentious and know-it-all than people or I'm not cool" that seems to infest every aspect of the current musical culture. It's all about being nonsensical and passing it off as art, not about being relevant to anything.

Kurbain took the image of white rock at the time (hair metal) and crushed it. He spit in the face of the media (note his first appearance on headbangers ball). He brought music back to the artistry that was lost in the 80's. Now that i look back at Nirvana and what they did for underground music and reinforcing its legitimacy, I realize that his actual music was only half of his impact. Then the way he left the scene once again solidified his place as a true musician. But yeah thats just my take on it. He took the punk attitude and combined it with a more modern and trendy sound. I quit cuz i can go on all day.

[phae]

When I get frustrated or sad, i start shaking like a leaf, and smoking nonstop.

Right now i'm not so much sad or frustrated as I am hurt.

I seriously fucked up my relationship because I am so headstrong, that when my significant other basically doesn't contact me at all, I start getting a bit rude, which only makes it worse.

It makes me wish I didn't love this guy and seriously know he is "The One", because my life would be so much easier then.

Why do people need human attatchment.. I don't understand anymore. *sadface*

[Carpet Lint]

Jennifer Love Hewitt is so 1999.

AIR is everywhere, not wind.Dude, AIR = WIND.

What's wind? Moving air? Well then, I'd hate to break it to you, but air is always moving. Air currents? That's wind. Even if there was a supposed hypothetical (and impossible) situation where you're completely surrounded by non-moving air...then all you need to do is move your arms. That moves the air around you, which moves the air around that air, which moves the air around that air, and etc. Butterfly effect = WIND, WIND, WIND EVERYWHERE!!!

Water vapour is everywhere, but what can you do with it? If you're in the desert, put all the water vapour in a cubic mile of air together, and how much would you get? Like a cup?

Wind and water seem to match-up, but wind beats it out simply because it's more available.

Though it's interesting to note that humans are like more than 80% water.

Also, I remember reading a comic where Magneto just straight up ripped a guy in half with nothing but magnetic fields. The guy can control electromagnetic radiation - which is essentially...like...EVERYTHING (i.e. LIGHT, like when he redirected Dazzler's shots). Not just DC's characters are ridiculously overpowered.

Comic book Magneto owns old man movie Magneto so goddamn hard it doesn't even make sense.

I'm sorry, but to say air is always on the move is just ignorant. What about lazy-air? Not to mention I'm sure that most air can't afford today's gas prices, so they are probably in motion less often.

Not all Air is as rich as you Mr. Platinum Pants.

No, no, and no. Wind exists because air is allowed to move in the same way that current exists because electrons are allowed to move (or water and current for that matter). While the two are inherently related, they are *not* the same.

It's more available because you're setting up scenarios that give wind the advantage. The earth is 2/3rds water. the desert is what, 1/8th? 1/16th?

What if they fight underwater?

WHAT IF THEY FIGHT IN SPACE!!! You can take water with you but you can't take air.

Wow, Serpent really was banned. He's gotten away with worse shit than what he said in AHVB's thread, so that was pretty surprising.

[FistsofFury]

Call me insensitive but I don't think he should have been banned for what he said. I'm gonna miss him in a strange way. He's like the alcoholic uncle you can't wait to show up at family reunions. You just want to see the show.

It's really remarkable that you consume an astonishing amount of fluid in a days time although it appears your joking because of your insane laugh at the end.

"WIND!" and "WATER!" are pretty close, I'll admit. I was actually pondering the question for quite some time before posting that thread...it was really close between the two as to which power I would take. They are easily the best two elements.

Anyway, yeah...I refer to absolute power over these elements. I'd consider also having the option to create your chosen element perhaps out of your self...however ridiculously overpowered that would be...yeah, why not? I mentioned Self-applications for all powers, so that would make sense. Even in areas with such small amounts of water...just change into elemental form(humanoid Liquid creature...or ice-form like Iceman...or water vapor/mist form).

This reminds me; draining any water from the surrounding environment could be used to increase overall size...and thus the "water-user" could end up as a creature similar to Perfect Chaos from Sonic Adventure...or even bigger.
More Water fun:
-float upwards, and create a sudden hailstorm..with the hailstones large enough to destroy whole cities. On a sidenote, I had a dream about the end of the world once...and there was a great hailstorm that was destroying everything. Huge ice-boulders were coming down...then it eventually became hail in the form of Gargoyle statues...

-*possible* Remote Orgasm Trigger Jutsu™ --generate an increase in the moisture of a key area, and that should lead to all kinds of interesting situations.

-Practical Jokes: stimulate moisture in another area, and one could cause some hilarious "Sudden Diarrhea" situations. Or, in absolutely terrible, sadistic (yet still hilarious) taste....one could generate a subtle moisture on some stairs right before the victim approaches those stairs. Have the camera ready, and hit record when they take that first step.

-Gather a huge amount of water, so that eventually you have an ocean in the sky.....and then you can threaten to drop it on the city. Frozen or normal...that's still going to cause a lot of good damage. It would be interesting to maintain the water's form as long as possible, so that the surface tension on the bottomside is even more destructive when it hits the city.

*sidenote---imagine what a water-user could accomplish when working in tandem with a wind user? The possibilities of either one are amazing....together that's just ridiculous...

^all the time, hell yeah. I'd love the ability to create the windy upskirt situation ANYTIME I choose. I guess with water, I could manipulate water vapor/steam to acheive the same effect. Aha! But with water also comes the control over the wet-tshirt situation. Gradual increase of condensation or whatever...form some mist around her upper body, and suddenly her shirt/blouse is see-through before she even realize what has happened.

Assuming control over temperature of the element in question...I'd assume Earth has lava control...eh, I guess. This is one good thing about "Earth!" power....besides the "Golem form". Imagine...direct lava flow out of nowhere around someone...burn them to death with that.

Terra from Teen Titans is probably the best example I've seen of such power...*opinion pending since I have not seen all the Avatar episodes out there yet. I only caught a piece of an episode where he fought this old guy that was an Earth bender..old dude wasn't as impressive to me as Terra. Terra, with Slade's guidance, TORE the Titans a new asshole like it was nothing. They ended up having to run away! Similar to "Water Clone Jutsu", Terra also created "dirt creatures" to help her fight.(*not really her though...Slade did this by manipulating her power) It was tight since the Titans had trouble just fighting off the "dirt creatures".

*I like to use "carpetbagger" as my own slang term for a lesbian. It amuses me at least. I know the historical meaning; I just prefer to switch that up and apply it as a somewhat clever name for lesbos. I even prefer it to the classic: "carpet muncher".

My first instinct is to say fire, but really there isn't much you can do with fire compared to the others. Unless you have a matchbook on your person at all times. You know what? I'm still gonna say fire. I wonder does that include electricity? Like if you are near any sort of combustion machinery could you make it malfunction and explode? Or any sort of electrical wiring spark and create a fire?

...Is Azrael the "I am a Japanese School Teacher" guy!? >__________>

Yeah. Yeah, he is.

If there was an award for best animal rape scene, it would probably go to woflman-Dracula from Bram Stoker's Dracula. The idea of the wolfman banging someone out is hillarious for some reason.

^I was thinking about the ridiculous "Dracula is low tier" thread, and how you'd have to add random white girl from said movie, and also Love.

[Mechanica]

Yeah. Yeah, he is.

Hahahaha, holy crap! :clap: I was expecting a kind of "LOL, NO. That's a dumb question" type answer. Hahaha, that's cool, I can't believe I didn't know that. I've been reading his stuff for a while, like before I frequented the boards more than lurking! Weird to think that I see him around the boards and stuff! :bgrin:

Hahaha, I can't get over how weird that is! :lol:

Hahaha, man. I already thought Az was a cool guy, but that's even cooler that he's him. Maybe we could kick it some time when I'm in Japan.

I can't believe I never caught him saying 'Azrael' before, in the stories, though. :wonder:

Anyway, I hate when someone wants you to do something, and they really want you to, but you really don't want to. Makes you feel bad when they're like "Please? It'll be fun, etc. etc." and I'm like >_______> sorrryyyy.

Kool Aid man is top tier. Top fucking tear. Why? He'd be a great porno star. A girl in a hot day wearing almost nothing would be like "oh i'm so thirsty!!! I want something to drink!!! And then Kool Aid man out of FUCKING NOWHERE crashes through a wall then sexily says "Oh yeah?" And the girl's like "oh yeah!!"

Then they have sex and Kool Aid man will be like

"OH YEAH!! OH YEAH!! OH YEAH!!"

When the girl eats his juice, she literally eats it.

Gamers and internet addicts sure eat a lot of junk food.

I admit I'm guilty of it too whenever I sleep in on my gym days and gorge myself on hot dogs later in the evening. I just had the best tasting chicken sandwich ever though. I made it myself and I don't feel the slightest bit guilty for eating junk that will make fat, clog my arteries, or lead to diabetes when I'm older.

A good bread really makes all the difference.

I bought this fancy bread at the supermarket that you have to carve yourself. "Ciabatta with olive oil". I cut the portion I wanted into two slices and put it in my toaster oven at 400 degrees for 5 minutes. Crispy on the outside, soft and warm on the inside. I had filleted a chicken breast and cooked it on my George Forman grill earlier. I shreaded some iceberg lettuce and put my sandwich together then. Instead of mayo as the usual condiment, I used the southwest chipotle dipping sauce they give out at Wendy's for a spicy kick this time.

It was very good. :lovin:

I'm full, I didn't pig out on hot dogs like I usually do when I'm lazy, and I have energy (carbs from the bread) and fuel (protein from the chicken) for later.

Seriously.

I did some light grocery shopping, picked up a lunch and dinner for myself (both are vegan, too. I eat whatever I think tastes good, and a lot of what I enjoy eating is healthy. Surprise.)

I got vegan herb chicken and mixed veggies.. and vegan sweet and sour pork with rice. Granted, it's still imitation.. but it's not bad. I just don't look at it like pork and chicken, I look at it as protein molded and infused with sexy flavors.

I also got bottled water~ flavored ones! They were on sale. n_n; I haven't had a can of soda in two days now.. I'm very happy about this.

People go crazy with the grocery shopping when there's a little rain and below-freezing temperatures. I just went for a couple of groceries today at Kroger, and it was crazy in there. Dude in line ahead of me had a shopping cart FULL of stuff...and there were many others like him, with shopping carts filled with AT LEAST 100 dollars in groceries! Why do people shop like another country has just threatened nuclear warfare, or aliens have invaded, or it's just the end of the world? This isn't The Day After Tomorrow here. Yeah, the roads may be iced over tomorrow...but worst-case scenario is what...a few days to a week of ice roads?! I just don't see that being such a big deal.

*Attack of the Show ---I'm beginning to think Kev Pereira could actually Bone™ Sarah if he wanted to. There seems to have been quite the interesting chemistry in the past few shows...and she seems to be getting even more freaky on the air.

Me and the other black person in the class have decided to team up with fried chicken and collard greens. The Asian kid is bringing egg rolls. Score. On the last day I'm just gonna go up to the front and write my number on the board lol. I'm even friendly with a guy that's old enough to be my dad. He's probably the second 40+ person I haven't referred to as 'sir' or 'ma'am'. <3 this class.

=When someone loses an eye....what happens to the socket? Is there just a gaping hole there or does the eyelid close permanently (provided the person doesn't get a fake eye)?
I'm thinking that you can just open and close it as you wish, but there's just no point to it.

You know what would be fucking awesome? If you lost your eye, and you used your empty socket to like STORE THINGS IN.

Like if you're trying to smuggle some cocaine into the country, who's going to ask you to lift your eye patch and open your eye?

"Hey Carpet Lint, have you seen my eraser?"
"Why, I certainly HAVE!" *ugh* *plunk*
"LOLZ, Carpet Lint, you're so witty."

...I think I'm going to go and scoop out my eye with a spoon now.

I don't, but I sure used to.


=When someone loses an eye....what happens to the socket? Is there just a gaping hole there or does the eyelid close permanently (provided the person doesn't get a fake eye)?

My friend's brother has one eye, and I haven't seen him in years, but I think his eyelid just drops down, there's no eyepatch, or anything. Might've been sewn shut...

He was young, rolling down this hill, and a stick stabbed him in the eye and it exploded. :wasted:

--

I hate Christmas music. :bluu: (yeah yeah, scrooge whatever)

EDIT: Hahah, yeah, I used to joke around about hiding stuff in the eye socket.

Oh, and he couldn't move his eyelid, I don't know if it's the same for all of them, though. Something with the eye nerves maybe? I don't know.

I need some new kind of food, or something. My staple meals have been cereal, soup, sandwiches, spaghetti, teriyaki, and uh... not much else, really.

Cereal; I just have when I'm lazy or need food really fast, not too sick of it.

Soup; I'm getting really sick of.

Sandwiches; I'm sick of.

Spaghetti; the only thing my dad really cooks (well some breakfast foods) but it's getting tiresome as well, not that I don't appreciate him cooking it.

Teriyaki; going home for lunch (open campus) got annoying since I barely have any time since I moved further from my school... Not to mention all I can eat in time is cereal or soup. :bluu: Anyway, the point is that I eat out, and I don't eat fast food (I get rather healthy... I've already lost a sufficient amount of weight, but I want to lose a bit more belly fat), and Subway is my substitution for Teriyaki every once in a while, but it's not as much food.

Gaahhhh... I want some fucking pizza right now, but I don't feel like eating a couple thousand calories nor dropping like $20 on food.

[Million]

that high-tech eye-patch Snake has in MGS4 looks great...I'd want something like that if I lost an eye...it could act as a functional replacement as well as just looking badass...I could use it for different vision modes; thermal, xray(YES!)...actually...what else is there? I don't think Nightvision has ever been as cool as thermal or xray. Nightvision is like the bastard brother...or the fat kid in class that nobody picked for teams in PE.

*I heard of one x360 selling for 10,600 on ebay! I'm DEFINITELY getting the ps3 at launch purely to turn a ridiculous profit like that. I'll be "nice" though, and probably start it off at a $1000 minimum.

I really don't get all the Cobain worship. I'm not saying Nirvana was a piece of shit, but they weren't one of the greatest bands ever. It has to be because Kurt killed himself, and he was cute and strange. Soundgarden > Nirvana.

And brilliant, humble, respectful and noble. All of the qualities you rarely see in celebrities nowadays, or ever. Kurt Cobain did some damn honorable things that no one else ever had or ever since has had the balls to do.

A man standing in front of a crowd of millions and risking losing half of his entire fan base to defend his stance on racism/sexism/and homophobia? Publicly stating that if anyone is in any way predjudiced to not purchase their albums, don't come to their shows, and don't support them in any way and mean it and actually act upon it? Name me one other person besides him who did anything like that and tell me that isn't a fucking awesome thing to do.

Kurt Cobain's songwriting > Chris Cornell's
Kurt Cobain's guitar playing > Kim Thayil's
Dave Grohl's drumming >>> anyone in Soundgarden's
Krist Novoselic's bass playing > anyone in Soundgarden's.
Nirvana's influence on the frigging world >> most other bands.
Kurt Cobain as a human being > *

Soundgarden and Nirvana... they sound nothing alike and are just completely different people. I don't know why the comparison is even there. Read Cobain's writing, read his poems, read his lyrics. He is undeniably brilliant, intellectual and talented. The way he used words was outstanding. He wasn't just cute and strange, GTFO with that bullshit. If you don't like the band you don't like the band. Don't dumb them down like that.

Agreed 100%! I go grocery shopping once a week to pick up my food and its just plain awesome. Plus if I get hungry and I dont want to go for groceries I just order in from restaurants! use the services man! Or where I am you can order your food online and they drive it to your house for a small fee. Fuck with the cost of gas, its almost cheaper

What makes me laugh is when I say "Fuck your couch nigga!' from chappelle show. I could be in the WORST mood, say that and laugh.

In response to a kid jumping on stage during the Nirvana and GnR feud and saying: "Hey, man, Guns N' Roses plays awesome music, and Nirvana plays awesome music. Let's just get along and work things out, man!", he said:

"No, kid, you're really wrong. Those people are total sexist jerks, and the reason we're playing this show is to fight homophobia in a real small way. The guy is a fucking sexist and a racist and a homophobe, and you can't be on his side and be on our side. I'm sorry that I have to divide this up like this, but it's something you can't ignore. And besides they can't write good music." [Laughs]

And punk bands aren't really famous. They're also awesome people usually, but they don't have a huge worldwide following and adoration like Nirvana did. People did love Kurt when he was alive too, believe it or not. And for such an influential and popular person to say something like that in front of so many people at the peak of his fame, is really to me revolutionary.

I don't worship him or anyone, I think that kind of stuff is ignorant, but I can see why he is held in such high regard, and he deserves it. Most people who say he doesn't are seriously hating, because you cannot deny the wonderful things about him. You can dislike the entire genre of rock music and still respect KC.

Ah, didn't know about any of that like the GnR example... while I can see where he's coming from, the kid said he liked his music. It's annoying when people can't just enjoy music for music.

I don't disrespect KC, or anything, though.

He was in the top 10 of guitar players in this one magazine that listed what they thought of as the top 100 guitarists in the world, which I thought was ridiculous. Not that he's a bad guy, or a bad guitar player, per se, he's just not top 10 material, he doesn't play anything amazingly difficult, you know? It's stuff like that that annoys me.

[FriedafterbirtH]

Simple and plain, Kurt C. was overrated. Being a musician, i mos def can say his guitar skills were....and that public outspoken goodie good stuff??? Punkers since the Vandles and Black Flag have been doin that before he though of it. Also, ANYONe dumb enough to have a love relationship with Cortney Love needs to die. Heh, thats probably why he did. Anyhow.....

to FistofFury: they sell immitation BDU tops directly outside of military posts everywhere. thing is, they suck and fall apart and aren't really durable. i dont even understand how they can make a fucked up version just outside of post, and i dont even see anything amazing about it anyhow. you can usually buy a BDU top for like $20, i think. i dont know, i dont buy them anymore i just DX the ones i have for new ones whenever i need them.
anywhere far from a military instillation, i can't really help you with though.

to Ducky: yo man, i think i officially earned a CAB(combat action badge) already. also, i just spent 72 hours on THE most DANGEROUS stretch of road/highway, in Iraq right now. everyone calls the highway Mad Max, like the movies and shit. mad boom sounds pretty often, and IEDs all over the fuckin place.

what's funny though, is that i go down this highway everytime i go outside the wire, which would be about 3-4 times a week. and i just got told it was the most dangerous stretch of road, when we were stuck out there for 3 consectutive days.

at one point, i was in the turret of our humvee for almost 24 hours straight.

What are the work shifts like for the military in Iraq? There aren't 24 hour round the clock patrols are there? What was the longest you've been forced to stay awake so far? You didn't have to shoot anybody while manning the humvee turret did you?

I don't think the enemy is stupid enough to engage US troops with anything other than IEDs, but if you do come under small arms fire while you're manning the turret, do you have any kind of cover or protection while you're up there? There's bullet proof glass and armor for the driver and occupants I'm obviously assuming (are the bottoms of the humvees armored to protect against IEDs also?), but that would suck so bad if it's just a gun, your flak vest, and whatever other personal gear you have. Would have to draw straws or something to pick who had to do the turret job.

I saw the episode of Mail Call where Gunny visits the military broadcasting TV station (I forget the name), aside from "Mail Call" obviously, what other programming is shown on there?

I didn't watch Jarhead, but people told me it's a bunch of guys sitting around all day and jerking off, and it's the gayest shit ever. :rofl: Sucks you have to be out there during the holidays too, so take care and come home soon.

Word. I worked at a place in the mall where we sold those kind of jeans. For guys the average pair was about $100-110, yet for girls it was around $180-240. Seriously...WHO THE FUCK PAYS THAT MUCH FOR PANTS! Anything that is going to be around my nuts and ass all the time does not need to cost that much.

[Septimus Prime]

I think it's more astounding how fucked up jeans cost MORE than regular ones. Shit, for the extra $50 or so, I'll rip it myself, thanks.

[Mechanica]

Tools pay that much for pants. :bluu:

[Septimus Prime]

I paid $0 for my pants, since my friend bought them for me. I just don't like how they came pre-torn.

[VG Emblem]

Co-sign, purposely fucked-up jeans are just retarded. I mean, if you're stupid enough to pay for $240 pants, you're even more of a dumb-ass for paying that much for ripped-up pants. Fucking preps.:tdown:

Something weird happened in school yesterday. Some guy named Mr. F subbed for my absent english teacher. He was this old guy, he was damn weird, in a brutally honest way. He came in and started saying things like:
"Your teacher said all he classes were good, well, they weren't. And neither will you, i've been teaching in L.A. for many years, i can tell you guys aren't going to behave."
"You guys are still young, you know nothing about the world. The world gets worse every year, because of things like political correctness. Like on christmas cards, they'll say "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" because of the slight chance someone really senesitive will get offended. This is destroying the world."
"Judging people is important, everyone says because of political correctness, you're not supposed to. But you should judge people, because that's how the world really thinks. Like by looking at you kids and other kids in the school, i can tell most of you don't behave. By looking at a group of people, you can tell who's going to go to jail and steal and who you would be friends with."
"The world is all about making money. When you're all older you'll understand. The gas company doesn't care if you have food or not, as long as you pay them money. Whatever you have to do to make money, work hard, steal, gamble, doesn't matter, as long as you have money, nothing is ever right or wrong."

While this coot did say some actually right things that people wouldn't beleive, he wouldn't listen to anything he said. Like some kids say he's to judgemental, and he says they can't say that because they don't know him. But, this guy just said that he does and you should try to judge people without actually knowing them, so wtf. He even made some girl cry and a bunch of over-protective parents called the school complaining. So yeah, can he do this? I didn't actually mind, the lecture was quite entertaining in a way, and seeing my classmates all in distress was also fun. But should he get fired if he actually does this alot like he claims?

I found *ahem* a copy of FF7 for the PC...the graphics aren't as good as I remember, and the sound sucks. I'm perplexed, because my PC was made AFTER this game was developed, so it should be able to run FF7 right. Unless the PC version just sucks in general, or the graphics/sound weren't as good as I remember them...

pre-torn jeans are ok......in the summer.

the most i ever paid for jeans was like $200 for a pair if diesel jeans.
imo, when it comes to jeans, you get what you pay for.

i paid $100 for a pair of guess jeans before, and when i stand next to other people, it's clear the i have the superior jeans. you know you have good jeans when people stop to ask you where you got them from/what kind they are.

[Mark Beast]

^hell yeah. jeans are all about the look of the denim IMO. like you can just look at a pair of jeans and be like yeah...
lol i dunno. i fell off with jeans though, sneakers ruined my life.

try rogan, blueblood or apc jeans.

What are the work shifts like for the military in Iraq? There aren't 24 hour round the clock patrols are there? What was the longest you've been forced to stay awake so far? You didn't have to shoot anybody while manning the humvee turret did you?

The shifts vary for everybody. I can't speak on a whole, cause some people get the EASIEST shifts and the EASIEST time possible while in Iraq. most soldiers in the green zone of Baghdad, it's like a vacation resort in comparison to the depths of Ramadi.

if im not on a mission that day, or the day coming up, i usually just do whatever the fuck i want to and take it easy all day long. for missions though they can range from 1 hour to days and days on end.

yes there are 24 hour+ round the clock patrols. like i said, i was in the turret of our humvee for near 24 straight hours on Mad Max. the longest ive been forced to stay awake so far would be about possibly 30 or so hours at this point. the whole time we were out on mad max we slept in the humvee, and it's not comfortable at all, especially when you hear shots and booms to the left and right at random times.

to the last question, no. i'm happy for that. it's just been IEDs. nearly got blown up on the way IN to where we needed to be on the road.

you wouldnt believe the things that are being done to the innocent iraqi people over here, by the insurgents. i won't speak on it at all, due to security reasons. but believe me when i say that contrary to popular believe over in the states they REALLY DO need our help.

I don't think the enemy is stupid enough to engage US troops with anything other than IEDs, but if you do come under small arms fire while you're manning the turret, do you have any kind of cover or protection while you're up there? There's bullet proof glass and armor for the driver and occupants I'm obviously assuming (are the bottoms of the humvees armored to protect against IEDs also?), but that would suck so bad if it's just a gun, your flak vest, and whatever other personal gear you have. Would have to draw straws or something to pick who had to do the turret job.

yes and yes.
it WOULD fuckin suck to have no protection up in the turret. in some directions it does not protect you from enemy fire. there have been a few soldiers in this area alone who have been sniped from their positions in the up armored turrets of their vehicles.
nope i didnt draw straws, i actually prefer the turret over driving.

I saw the episode of Mail Call where Gunny visits the military broadcasting TV station (I forget the name), aside from "Mail Call" obviously, what other programming is shown on there?

i dont know. i dont watch tv or anything. on downtime we play xbox and watch dvds.

I didn't watch Jarhead, but people told me it's a bunch of guys sitting around all day and jerking off, and it's the gayest shit ever. :rofl: Sucks you have to be out there during the holidays too, so take care and come home soon.

i havent seen that movie either, and i guess im happy for that.
yeh it does suck to be out here, especially when christmas rolls around.

[Slide]

Holy ish I just actually read Slide's aside to Ducky! Slide was anyone in your unit hurt? What were you thinking about the whole time?


yeh people have been injured.
can't dwell on it, you just have to stay focused.

i'm noticing more and more army guys are nuts when they come back. Maybe even before

this kid i went to high school with is in iraq...his truck got bombed the night before and he was excited about it...said it was awesome...issues.

more and more army guys arent nuts when they come back.
if his truck blew up and he was all sad for it, then there would be no way he could focus on anything else he had to do. in order to get over most high stress sometimes you have to find humor or what's cool in it. or you will go nuts because the stress level doesnt change.

Being depressed is much much worse than being excited over a cool explosion, dont you agree?

Damn Slide sounds rough. 24 hours in that turret must have been hell man. How did you keep yourself awake?

i dont know, it's different everytime. and sometimes there's quite a number of things happening to keep you awake anyhow.

Slide:

How long was your job training for before you got shipped out to the sandbox? You didn't get forced to go right after basic did you?

Racism is an ugly thing. I know absolutely nothing about Arabic culture, Sunnis, Shiites, or whatever but if it's anything like Jews and Palestinians, Japanese and Chinese/Koreans during WWII, Nationalist Chinese and Communist Chinese, and Hutus and Tutsis during the Rwanda abominations, that makes me very sad as a human being.

I read something in the news that one of the Iraqi ethnic groups drove around on the street and random kidnapped a hundred or so men from the other ethnic group and killed of bunch of them. Targeting the Iraqi police collaborating with the Americans too? I know fuck the police and everything (because I fucking hate the police here in the US), but targeting them for death by execution is taking it much too far and the most counter productive and stupid things I've ever heard of. Police are suppose to serve the public right?

There's news coverage of all the car and suicide bombers that have been attacking public places and government buildings as well. I saw a video recently and it was horrible.

-------

What kind of hardware are the insurgents working with btw? And how can they afford to get all those weapons? What's the gun you're working with also? .50 cal heavy? Or something smaller?

I know the AK-47 and the RPK machine gun. Mortars, RPGs, and artillery shells to rig those cowardly IEDs obviously too. You mentioned sniper weapons though? SVD rifle I'm assuming? Or are AK's just as accurate sniper weapons as they are spray like a moron weapons. The guns are from like the 60's is all know. Nothing like the weapons given out by the US, British, or German militaries today (video on the internet of the guy with the Barrett Light .50 making his targets' HEADS BLOW UP. :wasted:). A lot of American soldiers are dieing unfortunately (although the news never keeps a tally of the number of Iraqi insurgents KIA), so those guns still must be effective though.

I'm a gun and military history nut in case anybody is wondering. The only reason I never joined the military myself is because the money is horrible for the stress you have to go through (for the grunts, not the civilians contractors), my eyesight is bad (which I don't want to pay to get fixed yet), and I detest killing of all things too (ironic since I like guns so much).

---------

Also ironic that you and your friends play Xbox (Halo right?) during your downtime to simulate violence and shooting, when you guys already have to deal with the real thing. I know there are random explosions all the time, but my impression is that most US soldiers don't even fire their gun for months on end with the current situation at hand. Still, any kind of gun violence is that last thing I would want to be thinking about on my breaks and days off though. I'd play SF, work out, watch some porn (although I read something about that being contraband :rofl:), or read instead. Xbox and drinking is all I ever hear what soldiers in the Middle East (all guys my around my age) are into though.

----------

Again, stay safe and don't do anything stupid (like forgeting your groin armor). I really don't know whether I support this war or not. It's too late to do anything about that now though and the US needs to take responsibility for it's actions. A job's a job too, so just do what you have to do. I deal cards here at a poker room in southeast CT. You're on the other side of the world manning a humvee turret, in a country full of anti-American psychopaths with guns.

I don't know you personally, but I'm happy to send magazines, dvds, or whatever if you'd like some mail from a contact back home from the US too.

Yu-gi-Oh! GX is fucking superior. I can't believe how much better this version is compared to the old dramatics of the last. It hasn't stopped being funny and the pacing of the story is damn near perfect. It actually feels and looks like anime rather than a shitty novel. Even the inane hour long explanation of card effects in duels have been cut to like three or four short sentences MAX. It's like they stole X-2 battle system. :rofl:

It's fucking beautiful. And Chaz Princeton >>>>>>> Seto Kaiba in toooooooo many ways. Kid is that TRUTH. As soon as he left DA, I missed him. Once again though... GX's superior pacing checked right back up on him with perfect timing.

Straight up refreshing. The only way this series could get better is if they have Chaz win the school duel. He STOMPED all over North Academy like they forgot the birth control again. :rofl:

It's not a hard concept to understand. Don't tell me there are people who are seriously trying to defend that piece of shit? The fact that he did NOT actually have a bomb doesn't mean a damn thing to me. I'll go overkill and shoot his face until it looks like a 3-dollar pack of ground beef at Kroger. It doesn't even require me being an air-marshal or whatever either...if I happened to have a gun on me, and he tried that shit....it's Game Over for him, simple as that.

that bi-polar shit is a lame excuse..i dunno how man bi-polar people u met...but not a single bi-polar person starts yelling i got a bomb. Its more like mood swings in both guys and girls. They never yell random specific shit like that..its sad he got shot but i totally understand..panic mode+wife could have been with him claiming he was bi-polar..u can't confirm that in like 5 seconds in the air.

I feel sad for the fam..but really...wuts their to do when sum1 claims they got a bomb..its funny since its like 2 weeks since they said they'd ease resrictions.

I'd also like to mention i got a fuckin sword on a plane...yes a sword. so ya either i'm broken or faa still has work to do.

Reading GameFAQs threads is like sticking burning cigarettes into your eyes. I don't know why anyone does it.

Although I know for a fact that the Shaq Fu forum on GameFAQs is mind blowingly awesome.

[Diirt_Kiicker]

Damn, I remember Shaq-Fu. I never played against one human being on that game, yet it still seems like the shit to me. Im headin down memory lane.....

[Million]

I bought Shaq Fu a few years ago for about 3 dollars. I saw it at a store that specializes in old games, and I HAD to get it...couldn't resist. ShaqFu is one of those things in the "so bad it's good" category, and in that sense, I consider it a classic. The real worst fighting game ever though is Rise of the Robots. It's not even "so bad it's good"...it's just pure garbage in every possible way....well, except graphics. Back then, it had "aiiight" visuals...and even that was purely on a technical point....the actual overall visual design was garbage, just like everything else.

I don't like the new Yu Gi Oh. The old one was fun because...just like the aforementioned Shaq Fu...it was "so bad it's good". It was perfect MST3K material...so wide open for non-stop jokes.

*I'm surprised that Geena Davis looks reasonably fuckable in her new show where her character is the President. This woman has never looked that hot to me before...in fact, she's always been quite odd looking....tall, awkward, NO ass, barely any boobage...just nothing going on.

Nickelodeon is actually trying to come back....Avatar is great, and Danny Phantom look alright...Fairly Odd Parents(finally some nick toons that aren't ass-stain ugly) looks ok too...Nick is on the comeback trail, it seems.

KROGER strikes again: 3 pieces of "Kroger chicken" for 2.59 folks. It's not on Popeye's level, but it was good enough. Besides, it's hard to get chicken wrong....Church's is the only one that sucks.(*we need to get the Feds to come in and shut that whole franchise down. It should be illegal to pass that junk off as fried chicken.)

*I just did more eavesdropping....one of those cute girls was outside talking on the cell...apparently her name is Valerie(I know the last name too...just not going to put it all out there like that), and her birthday is on Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend....and she was talking about losing her cell.phone recently, and some hilarious misadventure that happened as a result.

^she looks better in motion. She's definitely one of the hottest Playboy girls I've ever seen. The face looks perfect...those eyes are adorable...I would do such things to her...such things.

*and nope...I don't believe Hef is fucking any of his "girlfriends". The guy is 74 or 75 years old, people. I doubt even viagra can help him get it up at this point.

Those Gastineau girls would get BONED to hell and back too...but Holly is superior.

about how long does it take to go premium?

[Slide]

God damn.

I know right.
but listen though, it's not as bad or out of this world as it probably appears so on the forum when i post it.

Slide:

How long was your job training for before you got shipped out to the sandbox? You didn't get forced to go right after basic did you?

Around 15 months.
soldiers i think would rarely go there straight out of basic training. they have to atleast be MOS qualified first.

I read something in the news that one of the Iraqi ethnic groups drove around on the street and random kidnapped a hundred or so men from the other ethnic group and killed of bunch of them. Targeting the Iraqi police collaborating with the Americans too? I know fuck the police and everything (because I fucking hate the police here in the US), but targeting them for death by execution is taking it much too far and the most counter productive and stupid things I've ever heard of. Police are suppose to serve the public right?

I'm not really with the news of other places in Iraq besides Habbaniyah, Ramadi, Iraq. Where i am now. So i havent even heard about that. i just gotta worry about news that's relevant to what i have to do as far as missions i'd be about to do.

What kind of hardware are the insurgents working with btw? And how can they afford to get all those weapons? What's the gun you're working with also? .50 cal heavy? Or something smaller?

the insurgents? i don't know. i just know they blow shit the fuck up on the roads often.
The weapons i work with personally are: M4 carbine with ACOG sight, M9 beretta, .50 cal, M249 squad automatic weapon(SAW) and a M240.

Out of all of these weapons, i prefer my M4 and the .50 cal the most. because they're the easiest to maintain and operate for me. and the .50 is one devastating fuckin weapon. if i were to even just have a .50 cal round whiz by close to someone's face, it would fracture their skull without even making contact. you can feel your temples on your head shake when even firing the joint. ear protection MUST.

I know the AK-47 and the RPK machine gun. Mortars, RPGs, and artillery shells to rig those cowardly IEDs obviously too. You mentioned sniper weapons though? SVD rifle I'm assuming? Or are AK's just as accurate sniper weapons as they are spray like a moron weapons. The guns are from like the 60's is all know. Nothing like the weapons given out by the US, British, or German militaries today (video on the internet of the guy with the Barrett Light .50 making his targets' HEADS BLOW UP. :wasted:).

I dont know what kind of sniper rifle is used. the AK isn't very accurate, but it can fire even when it's dirty and scuffed up. it just always operates. also, most insurgents can't even shoot, they random fire. the sniper shots were too accurate to be thinking they made them.

A lot of American soldiers are dieing unfortunately (although the news never keeps a tally of the number of Iraqi insurgents KIA), so those guns still must be effective though.

i think it's icasualties.com or icasualties.org or net. i dont remember. but that place keeps a tally, and what area it happens.

I'm a gun and military history nut in case anybody is wondering. The only reason I never joined the military myself is because the money is horrible for the stress you have to go through (for the grunts, not the civilians contractors), my eyesight is bad (which I don't want to pay to get fixed yet), and I detest killing of all things too (ironic since I like guns so much).

yes the money isn't something to brag about. but i don't pay rent, money for food etc. it's just added up tax free paychecks(due to being overseas). i guess that's a big perk, soldiers aren't obligated for paying certain bills and stuff for things like health care and all that too. also it's a guaranteed income. can't really get fired.
Still when my term of service is up, im getting the fuck out.

---------

Also ironic that you and your friends play Xbox (Halo right?) during your downtime to simulate violence and shooting, when you guys already have to deal with the real thing. I know there are random explosions all the time, but my impression is that most US soldiers don't even fire their gun for months on end with the current situation at hand. Still, any kind of gun violence is that last thing I would want to be thinking about on my breaks and days off though. I'd play SF, work out, watch some porn (although I read something about that being contraband :rofl:), or read instead. Xbox and drinking is all I ever hear what soldiers in the Middle East (all guys my around my age) are into though.

we don't play halo. played it one time since being here. the game that's gotten the most play so far would be Need for Speed Underground 2. would be nice to have Most Wanted here, but i havent seen it in a PX yet.
Won't play SF with my teamates cause i would slaughter them something serious.
Now we've been playing Tony Hawk's American Wasteland.
I was trying to get my folks to send me and Xbox 360 with Perfect Dark Zero, but i hear that the 360 is on shortage.

As for porn. Ha. they say it's contraband but mad people have it.

----------

Again, stay safe and don't do anything stupid (like forgeting your groin armor). I really don't know whether I support this war or not. It's too late to do anything about that now though and the US needs to take responsibility for it's actions. A job's a job too, so just do what you have to do. I deal cards here at a poker room in southeast CT. You're on the other side of the world manning a humvee turret, in a country full of anti-American psychopaths with guns.

i will.

I don't know you personally, but I'm happy to send magazines, dvds, or whatever if you'd like some mail from a contact back home from the US too.

thanks i appreciate that. if i really do need something gotta have it, if i remember i'll say something.

[kcxj]

I just found out of my my co-workers served two tours of duty in Iraq. Just officially out of the Marines like a week ago actually (Dec. 2). I honestly had no idea he was former military until I noticed his USMC tattoo today. The first time was for the actual war where he said he traveled on convoys all day for some security job. The second time he was in the battle at Fallujah. :wasted: That was the city with the Sadr army, battle in that huge graveyard of all places, and dead people hung up over some bridge right? Some horrible, horrible things he had to see. Stuff a young person should never have to go through. He didn't seem very comfortable talking about the experience any further, so I didn't bother him with any more questions out of common sense.

My older brother is lucky he got out of the Marines just before the war started then. Instead of having to kill anybody or even worse, see one of your friends die, he bummed around in Yuma for a few years and then got to spend a year in Japan.

The biggest change I noticed the day he came home was the horrible cursing habit he picked up. Like every other word was f-something or shit that for no reason at all. :rofl:

There's no prejudice and racism against Asians at all in the US military is there? I know Ducky is Asian, but he's never told me anything about actually serving during wartime before. I've have bad experiences before with some of the whites and Puerto Rican people at this job I've been doing for the past two years. I can't imagine any kind of ignorant bullshit going on at a job where you never know when your life is on the line though.

My little brother enlisted in the Air Force after he's done with high school this year, that's why I ask. Nothing compared to being part of actual ground patrol forces, fire teams, etc... but still a military job.

If you'll allow me a Million moment:

Was watching WWE Raw...the one from last week...Mickey James, or whatever the chick's name is...the one who's obsessed with Trish Stratus...NICE upskirt action, there. That's not really my thing, but it was some good SHIT. Best ass since Molly Holly.

I'm watching that Law and Order: Trial by Jury show on Court TV. Bebe Neuwerth, or whatever her name is...Lilith, from Cheers. My God, I want to rape this woman. But, in a good way. Top 10 for hottest white women ever, and also whitest white women ever...deadly pale. But yeah, I want to do disgusting things to this woman (who I'm sure is old enough to be my mother, but is still hot). Wasn't she in Chicago...? Maybe I should rent that. Looks great for her age.

Good show, too.

There's this chick on TV Guide Channel...Rosanna Tavarez, I think...? If I ever see this woman...I might just ask her to have sex with me. It'll be akward, and I may end up in jail...but...I mean, I think it's worth a shot.

[FistsofFury]

I find Freemasonry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freemasonry) to be a bit strange. The secret society just seems so damn shady. A lot of people were/are masons. Most of the presidents were. Jesse Jackson is a mason. John Brown (the abolitionist) was a mason. Trent Lott is one and George Wallce was one too.

I should go to bed.

So Original Oreos can overcome world hunger? Can Milanos end racism? Chips Ahoy destroy thoughts of hatred and resentment?...or is the growls of the belly and hunger satisfaction stronger to drown out the bitching of society?

I see where you are going with this.

[Million]

yeah...TV Guide Channel comes through with some hot ass broads. They also have this one girl who was on season 1 of American Idol....Brandi something...hot white girl with blonde hair.

-my friend happens to be a Mason. I never bothered to ask the details of this, as I know he would just smile and ask if I'm interested in joining. I'd have better luck trying to get the inside details on his fraternity.

-I did catch the upskirt action last week on the Raw show. I have it on tape.

-Bebe Neuworth is a piece. I haven't seen her in awhile though...it's good to hear she hasn't quite hit the wall yet.

-sCryEd --finally something of reasonable interest has been going on...yet I still am only halfway paying attention, and thus, still not totally clear. Anyway, the main character and his typical "rival"(*a requirement with all cartoons these days.) have seemingly merged completely with their "altar" powers.....the interesting thing to me is...the main character's new form is UGLY. The other guy(rival) actually has the cool form. Even his powers are better. While the main guy is jumping around punching things to death...Other Guy apparently has superspeed, and just zig-zags across the sky...so fast that we see after-images...and he's destroying things too.
*actually, that's usually how it is though. The main hero character's rival usually ends up being the "cool one". Goku's rival was Vegeta, and we're all aware of how that went down. Much more people became Vegeta fans even though bitchass Toriyama hated the character obviously, and punked him for the rest of the series.
Spike / Vicious from Cowboy Bebop = yeah, I'd say Vicious was cooler, even though this one was close.
Samurai Champloo --another close one...but the guy in the blue(Gen?) seems more of "the cool one" in this case too.
Viewtiful Joe = a lot of vj fans love Alastor a bit more than Joe....it's an even split for me. Both characters are at equal coolness level, imo.
Teen Titans---at least as recently as a season ago...it's Robin/Red X. Red X is 100000000000000000000x cooler than Robin, folks. It's not even close, imo. Look at the most recent episode with Red X TELEPORTING all over the place, ruining all the other racers' shit. What does Robin have on that?

It goes on and on...we could make a whole separate topic about this phenomenon...maybe later....or maybe not. I'm lazier than usual today.

Agreed.

You mean "Jin", who is the opposite of Mugen in many ways more than one. His traditional style with the glasses effect is quite original for a rival, however, it does fit into the description/observations made by Million. Very tactiturn, he is.

The Japanese have been perfecting this type of character development in the late 90's/2000's work they have released. When I first got the brush with anime, it was Dragonball, not Z, so it was twice as hard. Krillin was noted to be Goku's rival here since they trained together, but he was the opposite of your description. More like the George Costanza/Neuman of the series.

I feel a bit better about things since this is the last week of studyin'. The hole is still there, but the bleeding stopped and I'll be able to munch on anything I want in the next few days. I am good to say that if it was not for the SRK, I'd probably look towards being a prankster again to sustain the Bear attitude this round. You guys, and girls, are great for real...in your own unusual way. PROPS, HIGH FIVE, PATATO, FIST TOUCH, or....something else to all of you crazy cats.

:lovin:

Speaking of the "BET" black people should avoid, I noticed that the Wayans Bros. are on everyday here. SWEETS! I caught the protest ep. where Marlon holds up that business woman with ketchup to save his father's diner, and she gives him her phone number. I laughed ma ass off.

Maybe doing that at Hooters would deem effective on Wings night. What race would it work on is truly the question.

[Slide]

There's no prejudice and racism against Asians at all in the US military is there?

I dont know. wouldnt be just cause it's military though. prejudice people are just prejudice people. just cause it's the military, doesnt mean that things would actually change. but i havent seen any prejudice toward asian US soldiers at all.

My little brother enlisted in the Air Force after he's done with high school this year, that's why I ask. Nothing compared to being part of actual ground patrol forces, fire teams, etc... but still a military job.

Contrary to popular belief, there ARE Air Force personel on the ground in the thick of it. which was actually quite surprising to me, i gotta say.
We actually have an Air Force MP(military police) guy, who has a bomb sniffing k-9. He's been on a couple of missions with us. as far as i know, we(3 of us in my team) are his only link to getting outside the wire as far as i know.
but i usually just do missions with fellow soldiers and marines though.

EDIT: went across the way to another camp today that had a better PX and i picked up Need for Speed Most Wanted. it's hot.

It's funny hearing someone reference Lilith to being from Cheers when she continued her role as Fraiser's ex wife on Fraiser. Oh well I <3 Fraiser.

Rosanna Tavarez; I knew that name sounded familiar. She's one of the Pop Stars girls. She's pretty ugly to me.

The Fugeess really love their Norwegian fans. Not only did the band reunite and kick off their world tour in Scandinavia, they also provided some fine comedic relief by the way of one of their opening acts. The nameless chick had delusions of grandeur when she thought the best way to end her set was to take a flying leap off of the stage and land into the arms of her adoring fans. Sadly all the people attending the sold out show were there for the Fugees only, not to catch some no name nobody. Listen closely to the THUD!!! as the crowd parts and then the aarrrggghhh.... as she lands on the cold cement floor- and then the customary laughing as the crowd acknowledges her stupidity. That must have been a really shameful walk back to the artist lounge. Warning: You have to suffer through a few seconds of screaming before the event- Sorry.

We're a long way off from that level of realism, so it currently makes no sense to me at all. Really, I had friends that got dizzy from old ass DOOM on playstation! What the hell?!

I think I used to know a decent answer, but I can't remember. I guess they get so immersed in it, that their eyes think they're moving, but their ears don't feel the movement and can't figure out how to balance, you know?

I've gotten dizzy from one game, Forsaken 64, when it was newer and I got motion sickness from cars and such, which I don't know.

[maxx]

ya know i love fps games but i do get motion sickness. Its due to your totally immersed in it..well for me but all that spinning makes me really sick..all the fast spins. I think it might be being so close to the screen..cuz halo doesn't do it for me.but all computer related fps's does it for me.

She could just kiss it and I'd explode all over her face. Anyway, she has such smooth, pretty complexion too...like smooooth hot chocolate or something poured into the very form of woman.

I can never remember their names though...the only one I know is Traci Ross because she's Diana Ross' daughter

*Walmart had Nintendo GC controllers today for 20 bucks! No, not 3rd party bullshit...real NINTENDO controllers! I couldn't believe it.

That's just disgusting. There's no way a controller should ever cost as much as a game. It's looking more like in this next era of consoles....I'll have no choice but to buy 3rd party bullshit (since they're usually cheaper) and just pray that it works.

No she isn't. She's pretty at best. ^ Toni Million!? She's freaking ugly.

And newsflash: Most women in the world feel the same way. In shallow ass America, in a recent study of desired characteristics in a mate, good looks was ranked 13 out of 18, and that's about the highest it was ranked anywhere in the world. And celebrities say anything in interviews to try to come off more humble. Please.

On the subject, at the bookstore tonight this super good looking Indian (I think) guy sat down at a table across from me when I was reading, and it was hard not to keep staring at him. I thought I saw him look at me a few times too, and I was sad when he got up to leave :( And there was another guy who appeared to be really cute from a distance whom I followed around for a minute to get a better look at, but I lost him! D'oh. Cute guys > me.

-Edit- I was looking at another book of Kurt Cobain tonight, and he must be one of the most photogenic people in history. He always looks beautiful without fail. It's really something.

But talking about guys, especially when I have a boyfriend, is stupid. So on to a more important subject: In Cold Blood. This book is ridiculously outstanding and I've been rereading it for several years. And my dumb self just realized why I've been having trouble finding it, because the movie Capote just came out to excellent reviews and now everyone wants to read or reread his most famous work. I almost considered stealing the book from the bookstore because I'm at a pivotal point right now and have this intense desire to keep reading it. I went all the way to a library I'd never been to to try to find it to no avail. Blah.

The latest quarterly reports from Mad Catz show that one customer appears to be keeping the entire company afloat: a man who goes by the moniker 'Million' at an online fighting game forum. The irony is that within the past three weeks, 'Million' has purchased as many controllers as his title suggests, and to this point his efforts in attaining a single controller that actually works have come up fruitless.

In a recent interview, 'Million' said in response to the numbers, "I realize that seems like a ton of money, but even after all of those Mad Catz, I haven't even paid the $50 a first-party controller would cost me." He then added, "Nice lips."

Dan?'s thoughts for the members of this forum when he hit SRK for the first time:

NO ESCAPE!


-What's the deal with people who get motion sickness from a game? I've never understood this...it's just a game. If we were dealing with graphics that are so real it could pass for reality, THEN I could understand someone getting dizzy from a simple FPS. We're a long way off from that level of realism, so it currently makes no sense to me at all. Really, I had friends that got dizzy from old ass DOOM on playstation! What the hell?! Even then, I was thinking "but it's just...pixelated graphics...how are you dizzy?"

I got scared of RE:DC that I had to sleep with the lights ON, but I was under age at the time...that's all. Must be the ignorance types who ignored the warnings.

I think they force the racial stuff a bit too much, but it was pretty good.

The scene at the end where they embarrased their son was too good. :rofl:

[Airthrow]

No she isn't. She's pretty at best. ^ Toni Million!? She's freaking ugly.

And newsflash: Most women in the world feel the same way. In shallow ass America, in a recent study of desired characteristics in a mate, good looks was ranked 13 out of 18, and that's about the highest it was ranked anywhere in the world. And celebrities say anything in interviews to try to come off more humble. Please.

That's because shallow American bitches won't admit that money/looks is tied for first place. Even on a questionnaire.

When you see some fatass with a dime piece on his arm, invariably he has money, or at least, more than her at the time, and/or he is her emotional whore. People fall in love with people who they perceive to be as very close to them in looks, whereas people don't tend to "fall in love" as closely corellated between their respective amounts of money, thus I think it's safe to say that scientifically looks are more important than money.

[Million]

^truth is spoken, folks. I trust no survey results where women speak their opinions on such matters....just like I don't really trust women on anything else. The only way to know for sure is if men gained psychic powers, enabling us to see through their numerous walls of high-grade, meticulously constructed bullshit. Besides...at this point...with psychic powers like that, I would be more concerned with all the devious new tactics I could employ to get serious money.(*mentally "convince" random rich people to give me thousands of dollars in cash....or mentally probe around to find PIN numbers, social security #, account info, etc. from their minds....go cheat on a trivia-related gameshow, etc.)

*I just had the legendary Freschetta's pizza. Heaven on a plate, folks. This is what the result would be if God Himself decided to make a pizza just for you. My taste buds have orgasmed....the Great Hunger has been appeased...I am done for the night.

[Ne0phyte]

Nor in an interview. And American men rate good looks about 50% higher than woman do... because they're even more shallow but they're honest about it. Throughout the world men rate good looks higher than women do.

I think universally all people are shallow about looks but deep inside just want someone they can love and trust and yadda yadda.

Freshetta four cheese pizza is delicious. And my mom is being a stupid bitch-_-

I think women in general value money as much as men value good looks. Money and all the status symbols of it get you chicks. Just like being hot gets you dick.

-EIDT-
Perhaps women going for money is a sign of an unequal society when you think about it. Women wants power/money but feels society won't let her get it, so she gets with someone rich and powerful and becomes rich and powerful herself by association.

-EDIT- (you spelled it wrong!)

No, they don't. I don't feel like typing out all 18 characteristics for men and women, but according to the same study, women value money about 40% less than men value good looks.

Women want a man who has money because let's face it, life is more comfortable that way. Money isn't always about greed; it's about being able to survive. All people, male and female, are shallow on the surface. Every single one of us. None of us can say that we wouldn't want an attractive and financially secure partner. What we desire and what's important are two completely different things though. Money and looks aren't important to me, but they are desirable and comforting. And there's nothing wrong with that.

Just watched the Street Fighter movie on Spike. This movie is so bad its funny. This movie has Hilariously bad costumes, plot, script. Van Damme Guile is so broken in this movie. Nigga did a mp-> lk flash kick -> super lk fk on Bison in the final battle. The combo so hardcore that it killed Bison for 2 minutes. :wow:

-Edit- I was looking at another book of Kurt Cobain tonight, and he must be one of the most photogenic people in history. He always looks beautiful without fail. It's really something.

I would assume they wouldn't put bad pictures of him in a book. :wonder:

The pictures of him are not pictures of him in a suit and tie posing for the camera. They're publicity photos taken of him doing random things at random times, and to me he always looks good. I've just never seen bad pictures of him anywhere.

And we discussed the brokenness of the SF Movie in this thread a few pages back. I think we elevated movie Bison into the SRK Tiers.

What would happen if Oro grabbed Urien with his SA I (not EX) while he's in the middle of the Aegis Reflector (should be damaged by the Aegis, but is slamming Urien right & left)?

[*InVeRs3*]

8-10% of sexually active people have had relations with animals.

For every 10 people you see, maybe one of them is fucking an animal.

Oro won't take damage from the Aegis until after he's done slamming Urien; characters are completely invincible during grab animations.

A question I have about grabs and super grabs, however, is this: what if you grab your opponent with, say, Gigas but fail to slam him to the ground before time runs out? If your opponent has more life left than you before the grab (where we assume it will be less after he takes the damage from the grab), will you still lose?

OH! My sweet, sweet Soledad....she's showing some leg this morning :sweat: Yes, this is starting the day off right.

*people who think all celebs would look terrible or just "plain" with no super-star makeup/lighting/photoshop = bullshiiieet. Guess what folks? You can't even use this to attack Beyonce's hotness. I've seen candid shots. I've seen her "less done up" back when Destiny's Child wasn't even a big name...yes...she was STILL unbelievable. It was the first thing I noticed when seeing that group back then on Teen Summit---"who is that goddess there?! :wow: " Speaking of Soledad, she's another one. She had a "just woke up" look during most of her Hurricane Katrina "on location" reporting....she was STILL adorable...plain clothes, no noticeable face makeup, and her hair was pulled back and tucked under a baseball cap...she was still looking too cute to me. Halle Berry, my #1 off the Magnificent 5™....she has played a crackhead three times now. Yep, STILL very hot. Being "downgraded" to look like a crackhead for a role would destroy most women's looks immediately....not Halle.
....and I'm sure some of these same critics know of "regular broads" from their personal lives that still looked great when just waking up....so why would celebs be that much different? When you're hot, you're hot....makeup usually has very little to do with it. Most people just automatically start up the hate when they see good looking people(and their admirers acknowledging that) for whatever reason...jealousy, a strong hatred towards "the beautiful people", whatever.

*Or perhaps...maybe it's just exaggerated criticism? That seems to be rampant on this and other forums....and it applies to much more than just hot celebs....someone sees a slight lack of texture on a damn wall in the console version of a PC game = "OMG! HAHA PC PWN CONSOLE NOOBS! PC FOREVA!" Nigga please x100. Or a random girl in a "Would you hit this?" thread....she doesn't look like Charlize/Halle/Salma/Tyra/Hyori( :rolleyes: ) and she's immediately: "ew get that baboon off the net. I wouldn't hit it with your dick."...nevermind the fact the same dude talking so much shit would probably bust a nut on himself if she even touched his leg. Or...they see that since one of her pores is slightly off with the rest of her skin tone, then that automatically degrades her to a 2 out of 10....yeah, sure.

*what the hell is Danielle Romano wearing today?! What is this crap? It looks like a Raggedy Ann outfit...

[Chachi]

Was Prince ever considered to be top-tier in his career? I figured he would have been at least near the top in the 80s, by using his quickness, his high-priority girlie moan, and his Revolution-assist. He owned Charlie Murphy and Carmen Elektra for free, but he had a little bit of trouble with Michael Jackson, and he eventually nerfed himself by leaving Sony and changing his name.

-- Why do 90% of the people who email me want a response? I'd understand if I got, like, 5 a day, maybe that would be manageable. But it's like they acknowledge the piles of email I have, and then still expect me to get back to them. I haven't answered an email in I don't know how long. My own mother complains she doesn't hear from me that often - what chance to internet strangers have? And then you've got the people who want to become friends with me, or exchange AIM/MSN/Google Talk/whatever.

-- I haven't seen it all yet, but the Full Metal Alchemist anime goes off in a different direction than the manga. Some of the changes they made were pretty big. At the moment, I like the manga better.

I don't know about 3S but in other SF's, yep. If the damage is caused by impact, it doesn't happen unless impact occurs prior to the round's end.

Yeah, let's use a random number example type deal.

Hugo has 5 hp
Ryu has 60 hp

Hugo lands a Gigas, which let's say does 20 damage per hit.

EINS! 20 dmg.
ZWEI! 20 dmg.
--time out.

DREI! 0 dmg.

Ryu wins. :karate:

Aaaanyway, will someone help me not be retarded? What's the deal with hosting images on srk? I see other people do it, and I use the same tags and it doesn't work. I'm not that stupid, I've posted images using the [*img*] tags (without *) on other boards, it just gets rid of the IMG tags and hosts a hyperlink when I post it... But when others do it, it posts the picture? :confused:

yes, Prince was THE SHIT in the 80s and beyond. I remember a few friends even debating the greatness of Michael Jackson vs. the greatness of Prince. They were at least comparable....and clearly they destroyed anyone else in terms of pop music in the era. The only ones even approaching their level were Madonna and Janet Jackson, imo.

While Prince seems overall more musically talented and definitely more versatile(dude plays damn near EVERYTHING, and plays it well.), I happened to enjoy more MJ songs...it's damn close though. Anyway, Prince won the battle eventually. He's still going strong, while MJ's career is pretty much Game Over.

*I didn't know until recently that my sweetie Maria Menounos was in Fantastic 4. Now I DEFINITELY need to see that movie. I will get it on dvd. There's also a great "ENF" scene from Jessica Alba. (*enf = voyeur lingo. = "embarrassed nude female"...technically, it's the variant though; an "EUF", which I guess is "embarrassed underwear-clad? female".)

*I should've known a banana plus the cake(Snickers cake??! Never heard of it...but that was delicious!) at work today might be trouble. Serious brown explosives were unleashed in the bathroom around 3:21pm today.

Does that really do it for voyeurs? *opens Wikipedia*

[JackTenrac!]

Strange..

Nearly every woman I practice game on is either taken, broken, or anything near foreign nowadays. Met a Hispanic on the bus who looked aiight, so Bear went in and she didn't understand half the words I spoke. Cute smile with such mistranslation is bad. VERY VERY BAD.

Recently, I caught the Chapelle Season III buzz. Aparently, I might attempt to ask a friend for the booties when they come out in NY if she's up to the hustle.

Hoping she is good to go, that is.

The friend of mine is overstressed at the pressures of her home city. All I hear when we communicate is how bad they treat her. She was even at the hospital for exhaustion treatments Saturday. Maybe a nice Peanuts Christmas card and a taser would cheer her up since ladies don't usually prefer carrying gaats.

My father has been up my ass lately with the phone calls and the chilling out thing. It seems as if he is making up for the lost time we haven't had in the past decade. He says he wants to be my "friend". Funny, I thought we were friends all along. It is very precular, considering that he has a job and a new girlfriend, and 5 daughters to think about. I do not know what to make of the situation itself, but I am a bit concerned(and scared crapless) with this new change in behavior.

The console era has a good pattern. I miss the classic GB games because of their contributions to the portable hardware division. I remembered the classic Gameboy commercials and ads as if it were yesterday. The pocket console wars on a whole were great. Game Gear, against Lynx, against Game.Com, against Tiger Electronics, against Game Boy's many incarnations. Still need 3 more GBs to complete my collection :D

[Million]

I'm not even sure it applies specifically to the voyeur fetish...but it fits right into the whole "forbidden fruit" appeal of a visual. It's not like top-tier "enf/euf" though...it's "ok" in my book. Examples of "good ones" could be found in random episodes of Benny Hill....the thing I didn't like about that was the fast-forward presentation of the show. That was annoying...I'd rather see hotness onscreen in "real time"...no slo-mo...no fast-forward.

that's interesting....I'll check out what the ol' wikipedia has on voyeurism and other related things in just a sec....

*Why did Wyle E. Coyote never report ACME to the Better Business Bureau or something? They gave him consistently poor quality products/service....he could've sued for pain and suffering too, considering how dangerous the situation was when those raggedy ass contraptions backfired.

*my next category of targets = white girls. I suddenly thought about it recently....that I've never seriously tried hooking up with a white broad...99% of my horrible track record has been with black girls....so...a new battleplan will be employed very soon.

haha..this dude on Hannity & Colmes looks like a link sausage in a bad suit.

wikipedia article on voyeurism is short, and I see that as a good thing. It is best to maintain as much secrecy as possible...I've already gone into too much detail here on srk about certain things.

MILFalicious Page Hopkins is looking even better than usual tonight...that's FOXnews for ya.

human babies are some odd-looking creatures sometimes...oh, and when they are born...that's one of the most disgusting visuals ever. I take pride in having a strong stomach(I watched "The Fly" while eating dinner, folks. You can't phase me as easily as other people.)...but that video they showed on Health class of a woman giving birth even had me like :wow: It looked like her pussy was PUKING and taking a huge diarrhea dump at the same time....like a scene out of a horror/sci-fi film or something...it looked like something you expect to see in another Aliens movie..more like she was not giving birth, but having a putrid, foul-looking creature emerge from her. That is OBSCENE material, I don't care what anyone says.
