Oh, I totally agree with you. You experiment, and as a result disprove things unintentionally, and then believe simplest answer that remains until you end up unintentionally disproving it as well. Theories don't need to be proven, they need to be practical. It doesn't matter if it's 'actually wrong' if you can build a machine using it that does what you want it to do.

Also, I feel like there might be a connection between the irritatingly low maximum speed of light and the non-zero base temperature of the universe. I dream of the possibility that there is some undetected medium (the cause of slight temperature increase) through which light travels as a wave (when it feels like it) and that it could be manipulated to alter the speed of light.

No way, man. Setting out to prove theories is a great idea. Just observing and changing your theory accordingly is for nerds.

My favorite way to look at quantum mechanics is as thus:
"Quantum mechanics contains a set of scientific observations that so often defy logical or rational explanation that they are, at least for now, indistinguishable from magic."
Basically, trying to make sense of it is pointless until we make cooler science machines. It would be like cavemen trying to figure out atomic structure, no matter how hard they try they lack the tools.
One of my favorite unexplained universal properties? The base temperature of the universe is not zero. This is without background radiation or anything like that, with absolutely nothing we can detect present, it is still not zero. Which probably just means there's something there and we just can't detect it... whatever it is.
There's some debate about what the actual base temperature is... but the most enjoyable thing about it is that getting things below that temperature breaks physics completely, and the most demented shit starts happening. Like the apparent effect of gravity and solidity of objects just kinda turning off. Shit starts passing through shit and floating around. It's pretty fun. Electrical resistance also seems to not exist at those temperatures, so it's incredibly useful and somewhat explainable, and not just silly (but fun) like quantum stuff usually is.

Bioware really surprises me. They put far more effort into character development than any other developer I've seen. Character's personalities are distinct, not too clichéd, and very memorable. No other game has me itching for the next 'random party dialogue' like Bioware manages. And at the same time they have the most blatantly 'because games' and 'wish fulfillment' romance I have ever experienced.
Their new trend of every character being bisexual or at the very least main-character-sexual offends me terribly on a storytelling level. When you know every character is potentially interested in you romantically, you feel like the center of the universe, and the word is no longer believable. The romance is a constant reminder that you are playing a game, and that the world is not real. For me, anyway, it destroys any sense of immersion. On top of all that, it's boring. Everything going like clockwork and there being no need to discover a character's interests and sexual preference to see if they are a good match for you is just plain boring. It means you inevitably just pick which one you think is hottest, which is offensively immature and basic for a game world with characters that are otherwise very complex. There are worse relationships in games, I am well aware, but they stand out so much more in Bioware games.
As far as 'because games' is concerned, I really hate how the majority of relationships develop in, for example, Dragon Age. There are three things that cause your love interest to become more enamored with you:
1. Shiny Gifts - This should be part of a relationship, but a very minor part. You can practically win someone's love through presents alone.
2. Saying just the right things in deeply profound conversations - This is also totally fine to have as something that makes someone happy with you. It's just that the characters never develop interest through casual conversation or simply having fun. Your character seems to deeply empathize and understand your romantic target when you say the right things, and yet there is never any sign your characters share any similar interests? Very strange. Most people go their whole lives never saying anything deeply profound, and they still find love...
The most annoying part about this is that the characters HAVE believable casual conversations, the exact sort that would really tell you if someone was right for you, except they happen randomly while you're wandering the world and the main character is NEVER INVOLVED! How the hell did they fuck that up?! They had all the correct dialogue, and the WRONG PEOPLE SAYING IT! If you've played Dragon Age, or Mass Effect, I'm sure you've noticed the main character is strangely silent during the random banter sections? It makes them seem very distant from all the other characters, including the one you're supposedly in love with.
3. Doing their sidequest - This isn't a problem except that it is REQUIRED for them to have sex with you. It's extremely 'because games'. It takes you totally out of the relationship and makes you think of it as a quest for poontang. Like, you're bribing them for sex by killing somebody for them. As I've said, that's not love, that's a business deal. The love interest is acting like a prostitute, or at least very like manipulative fiend. Real people have sex with each other because they like each other. That is ALL that it takes. If somebody refuses to have sex with you until you complete a task for them, that means they do not love you.
Morrigan is the only example that does not have this problem, and she is explicitly not in love with the main character when they have sex. She was by far the most believable and interesting romantic interest in a Bioware game, as there were no blatantly 'because games' requirements for the relationship to function. I still didn't really get into it, though, as I first liked the whole "Now that she realizes she's in love with you, she no longer wants to be intimate, as she believes love is weakness" aspect, until I remembered that no human has ever thought like that in the history of ever. Still liked it the best though.
Make a comparison to movie or book characters, and really think about it. Bioware game characters act like villains in romance. If they were in a movie, their manipulative attitude about sex would be considered reprehensible and self-serving.

Well, I still love you. In fact, I don't know what I would do without you.
There's a lot of planned gameplay depth, but not to the intentionally inscrutable levels of Dwarf Fortress. Still some inscrutability, to be sure, just... nothing like that. More depth is focused in the storytelling and character aspects, I hope, than any other game. Which, sadly, isn't saying much.

What makes Dead Kings special?
*by special I mean different and unusual, not inherently better, you’ll likely hate at least one of these things.
Strongly averts “because games” logic
The term “because games” is one I have coined myself for the purpose of describing something that gamers have come to expect from games, but that a non-gamer would likely find incredibly nonsensical. These bits of nonsense almost always occur as a result of technological limitations that became traditional and stayed in use even after the technology would support a different or better system. Sometimes simple lack of innovation or laziness results in an example of “because games”.
The worst examples I can give of “because games” logic are about encouraging otherwise needless murder. The first is the apparent soul-stealing property of most heroes in RPGs. I am aware that there are systems that function differently, but the typical method of gaining experience is to kill your enemy. This may seem normal to you, but that is only because you have become accustomed to it. This can actually be somewhat disturbing when analyzed closely. In Dead Kings you must only defeat and not necessarily kill an enemy to gain experience. If they surrendered or retreated, you still gain just as much experience as you would for slaying them. Many games encourage the player to massacre surrendering or retreating enemies, or encourage the player to murder those who are attacking them due to mistaken identity, just to steal a few more souls and level up!
Some games don’t even give the player the option of resolving a situation peacefully, some Ultima games, for example, give the player no method of progression besides cutting down helpless children! The player is meant to be a hero in those stories, not a bloodthirsty murderer of children! It’s not even played as dark humor, it just sort of... happens... like Richard Garriott had no idea how disturbing it was!
The final example is a relatively unheard of game, Temple of Elemental Evil. During the adventure the players come across a brothel. In the brothel the madam informs the player that a new whore refuses to have sex with anyone. The player can offer to see if he can change her mind or ‘break her in’... I know, not an option you expect in the game. I was very surprised at this, as games at the time were far too politically correct to even imply sex, much less rape! I was very exhilarated to see what possible choices could come out of this (for storytelling purposes, the tiny sprites were not going to offer much eroticism, I assure you!), as players were able to be good or evil in the story. It turns out in the dialogue the player has three options with the unfortunate prostitute. They can either leave her alone, free her and take her with them, or supposedly attempt to rape her. If the player attempts to rape her, she screams something along the lines of “over my dead body!” and combat commences. The player then only has the option to strike her down. The heavily armored, up to six very powerful warriors, against a small, naked girl with a knife that she could never even hope to injure them with. She started combat, so she must die! I could have excused the game having even evil players not follow through with sexual assault, and possibly just smack her down and tell her to shut up... but killing her? That goes entirely against the plan to make her into a profitable prostitute! That is the epitome of “because games”, and was the impetus for me to wish to make a game that never forces the player to murder someone when the characters clearly have no motive to do so. The game will never directly tell you not to, but killing people unnecessarily will certainly have consequences in Dead Kings!
In summary, people never even question the bizarre traditions in gameplay, and in many ways they shall be very surprised when their expectations are not met in Dead Kings!
Writers uninfluenced by political correctness
Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for these ideals in real life, games do this because they are trying to appeal to more audiences. But do not be deceived, it is not done out of a desire to make a better story, it is done at the expense of story to make more money. Attempting to please all audiences neuters believability, and some enjoyment for everyone is lost in the process.
These editorial mandates are exhibited in many place, including:
-Normal women arbitrarily being as strong and combat capable as men.
-Equal treatment for sexes, races and sexual preferences.
-Invincible or complete lack of children, so that children cannot be harmed.
-Severely limited options for evil player and non-player characters.
-Evil characters are usually limited to insults, stealing and murder.
-Evil characters are never, ever sexually depraved. It’s okay to murder someone, but rape them?! Heavens, we’re evil, not monsters!
Now, this doesn’t mean that everyone in Dead Kings is an immoral, prejudiced, child raping monster. Just that those things are allowed to exist in Dead Kings. These things all exist without issue in movies, so why not games?
Gameplay uninfluenced by genre expectations
The active gameplay is well established to be recognizable as tactical RPG combat. Except when it’s not. Large scale strategy and even 4X elements are present in the design. On top of that, there are Raising Sim mechanics influenced mostly by Princess Maker titles for if and when the player decides to procreate.
Fantasy world that does not arbitrarily ignore the inequalities of a medieval setting
Nobles are not noble!
Nobles act like real-life nobles. At best they are careless and hedonistic, more often they are heartless predators, abusing the weak for profit or pleasure. This is not because the setting is meant to be ‘dark fantasy’, but because that’s how nobles actually act.
People who attempt to seize or hold onto great power are without exception challenged in their morality. Popular opinion is that there have been many remarkable leaders throughout history; those such as Catherine the Great and Alexander the Great are very well regarded. History would have you replace the word “Great” with “Inhuman Abomination”. Both were arrogant elitists, pointlessly cruel, murderous and utterly irredeemable. Accounts of their lives are marred with the enslavement of countless people and the massacre of any who resisted. They are no better than those the world despises, such as Hitler or Stalin, and yet are renowned as though they have any worth.
Some may argue that there are benevolent kings and queens in history, Elizabeth I of England, for example, but even she has moments of inexcusable evil. Even the theoretical ‘benevolent autocrat’ is still a man or woman controlling the lives of people that he or she has no right to interfere with. Essentially, if they were truly a good person, they would use their power to abolish nobility and replace it with an elected government. The only good kings are the last kings, or those who refused a crown. The point is that nobles in Dead Kings are assholes, because they’re nobles.
The characters in the Dead Kings world are realistically depicted for their classes. The hero of the story may have some moral flexibility in the choices the player may take, but in the end, anyone who wants to control others is of deeply flawed character, and unfortunately he is determined to be king.
A woman holding a sword? Ludicrous!
Women are incapable of complex thought or understanding. They are weak of body and will, and of no use in violent conflict. They are commodities to be traded, and objects to be used for pleasure and progeny. Their word holds no value in court or otherwise, as trust is deserved only by those worthy of respect, and everyone knows only men can be respectable.
This is the average opinion you will find regarding women in Dead Kings, as it is the sort of opinion one finds in a medieval world. It is shared even by the women, even if it upsets them, as they have been subjugated of all authority since birth. Fantasy game worlds inevitably treat men and women very equally, progressive even by modern standards, without even mentioning how unusual it is. I have no problem with an idealized world where women are treated with the respect they deserve, but it has become the norm in fantasy, even clichéd in how expected it is. In fact, I cannot think of any fantasy world, game or otherwise, that depicts the treatment of women with a medieval standard.
Horses and Servants
There is a confusing trend to show rich and noble knights travelling the lands and going on adventure without any of their servants or so much as a horse! A few recent games have remedied the cavalry deficiency, but none have contained a proper retinue of attendants and servants. Even merchants do not travel on foot, and they do not travel alone! In addition to the potential six main party members, the player will eventually obtain a following of dozens of cooks, laborers, squires and soldiers. Menial tasks that would otherwise be performed as tedious fetch quests, or the hauling and management of inventory, will be handled by peasants and retainers. Nobles do not collect twenty mushrooms from a festering swamp to appease a strangely entitled commoner, in fact, the mere suggestion of such a request may offend a noble and put the commoner in a dangerous situation! Why should an affluent noble leave behind heavy loot, or mine and carry loads of valuable ore when he could pay a meagre sum to a few desperate serfs to do it for him? This is also very much a “because games” problem, and was remedied by a much needed dose of common sense.
Balance does not create a rift between plot and combat
During cutscenes characters will not use abilities, magic or otherwise do things that they are not capable of in active gameplay.
This is so brand new an idea to games that you may not even realize the problem exists. This ties into averting “because games”, but I feel it deserves a special mention. It is less a subconscious tradition resulting from technological limitations, and more purely thoughtless writing and design.
Relationships and romance do not pander to “wish fulfillment”
I would describe player driven romances in games to be on the intelligence and maturity level of Mary Sue fan fiction at best. Real romantic relationships are not fueled by giving the correct set of shiny objects to someone, and then completing a side quest. That's not romance, that's a business deal, and shows the kind of emotional understanding seen only in a true basement dweller!
"Oh, I heard she likes cakes! I'll just keep giving her cakes until she'll let me have sex with her! THAT'S HOW IT WORKS, RIGHT?!"
When people are romantically attracted to each other, they give each other presents as a result of an established connection. They have to already like each other for that to happen. Repeatedly giving gifts to someone who has not shown any sign of interest, as games portray love, is a sign of being an obsessive stalker. Games do not understand this very basic interaction. Sharing an emotional bond that may lead to amorous activity in Dead Kings will require that the characters involved share interests, ideals and adventures. They do not need to perform side quests for each other, they must simply do anything at all as long as they do it together. I have found in my life that attempting to 'win a girl over' is a mostly fruitless endeavor, and that it is much easier to find a girl that actually likes me. This experience, which writers for other games have shown no sign of, is used to form the progression of romance in the story.

Nobles do not collect twenty mushrooms from a festering swamp to appease a strangely entitled commoner, in fact, the mere suggestion of such a request may offend a noble and put the commoner in a dangerous situation! Why should an affluent noble leave behind heavy loot, or mine and carry loads of valuable ore when he could pay a meagre sum to a few desperate serfs to do it for him? This is also very much a “because games” problem, and was remedied by a much needed dose of common sense.
Balance does not create a rift between plot and combat
During cutscenes characters will not use abilities, magic or otherwise do things that they are not capable of in active gameplay.
This is so brand new an idea to games that you may not even realize the problem exists. This ties into averting “because games”, but I feel it deserves a special mention. It is less a subconscious tradition resulting from technological limitations, and more purely thoughtless writing and design.
Relationships and romance do not pander to “wish fulfillment”
I would describe player driven romances in games to be on the intelligence and maturity level of Mary Sue fan fiction at best. Real romantic relationships are not fueled by giving the correct set of shiny objects to someone, and then completing a side quest. That's not romance, that's a business deal, and shows the kind of emotional understanding seen only in a true basement dweller!
"Oh, I heard she likes cakes! I'll just keep giving her cakes until she'll let me have sex with her! THAT'S HOW IT WORKS, RIGHT?!"
When people are romantically attracted to each other, they give each other presents as a result of an established connection. They have to already like each other for that to happen. Repeatedly giving gifts to someone who has not shown any sign of interest, as games portray love, is a sign of being an obsessive stalker. Games do not understand this very basic interaction. Sharing an emotional bond that may lead to amorous activity in Dead Kings will require that the characters involved share interests, ideals and adventures. They do not need to perform side quests for each other, they must simply do anything at all as long as they do it together. I have found in my life that attempting to 'win a girl over' is a mostly fruitless endeavor, and that it is much easier to find a girl that actually likes me. This experience, which writers for other games have shown no sign of, is used to form the progression of romance in the story.

After hitting absolutely fuck all for 10 rounds, I started shotgunning and was able to kill people just fine. Spray and pray didn't even work slightly. I hit nothing. Not even the walls.

His running special attack is insanely op when you get accurate with it. Also, cancelling is normal combo at the uppercut and following up with a forward, forward attack is stupid good. His back attack is pretty awesome too, one of the few that is any good.
My favorite character to play so far is Elle, she's really weird to play but so much fun! Her normal combo is GOD AWFUL and only serves as a quick way to hit something so you can get away or cancel into something better. Her throws are meh as well. Her standing special is also very meh. But her moving special is amazing, and her forward forward attacks are great. However... the key for your enemies is to NEVER let you have a weapon. She goes absolutely sickhouse with a knife or sword, no other character comes close. Don't give that bitch a blade if you like your blood where it is.
Shiva, however, is clearly the strongest character. My god that game is easy as Shiva.
Rudra is boring, by the way, don't waste the points until you have little else to unlock.

Magma is one possible solution to the problem of bronze colossi, but really what I wanted to do, for no reason other than to see what happened, was to send a horde of legendary warriors after it just to see what the results would be. I didn't expect that they'd tear its shit apart; I heard that the best way of going after them was crossbows and lashers and I only had maybe three high-level crossbowdwarfs and two legendary lashers. Everything else was done with fist, spear, submachinegun.

You still can't ever go outside, though. There will always be necromancers you haven't found, they lurk and do not approach the fortress. As soon as something dies the onslaught begins anew. They also get random reinforcements of undead sentient creatures every few months, so there's no way to make outdoors safe enough to embark into even with your military.

Necromancers are guaranteed death for any fortress. They are completely unstoppable, and building a fortress with access to the surface in range of a necromancer tower is the same thing as abandoning the fortress.
They're not so bad in adventure mode, though. You can usually throw enough bodies at the undead to keep them busy for long enough to assassinate the necromancers.

On top of that TF2 isn't even a TF game at all, it just has the words Team Fortress in it, which is not enough to make it part of the same series. You will notice when comparing all TF games that they are extremely similar, TF2 is way too different to be a TF game. And I don't have any problem with TF2 in itself, my problem is that it killed and buried the TF genre. It's gone. Now we have TF2 instead. It pisses me off. And even then FF is almost exactly the same age as TF2 and is better than either TF2 or TFC.

In If STAR WARS was only episodes 4, 5, and 6. by aaronjer:
I think the fact that you never see a single woman in the empire doesn't mean much, as there our military never putting women on the front lines has nothing to do with sexism. It's just that men get really stupid when they think women are in danger, and women aren't useful enough to make up for that.
The aliens are a different story, though. We clearly see that there are TONS of aliens all over the place, and yet it is made very clear that the empire's military is made up entirely of humans. Just because you can't see what storm troopers look like doesn't mean it isn't meant to be assumed they are human. Given that using aliens in a sci-fi movie as the bad guys does a lot to make them seem more menacing, the fact that no aliens are ever shown with an empire uniform says quite a bit.
The funny thing is that the vast majority of rebel soldiers are also human, but that is probably due to budget constraints. There's never any dialogue indicating that humans are vastly more common than any sort of alien... although if the empire was killing a lot of aliens that would explain why.
Also the original movies don't display any sort of slavery theme about droids as far as I can see. It's pretty clear that people don't think droids are people, and that they really aren't people. If a slavery theme was supposed to be present somebody at SOME point would say something about the oppression of droids. It just doesn't happen. Droids aren't people and they don't care that they are being used for labor because that's how they were built. Whenever a droid does something unusual, like R2-D2 wandering off into the desert, it's because he was programmed to do it.
Even as a kid I never saw the different colored lasers as anything other than a method the movie makers were using to identify who is shooting. The only reason blaster rifles aren't green is because rebels use them too.

The aliens are a different story, though. We clearly see that there are TONS of aliens all over the place, and yet it is made very clear that the empire's military is made up entirely of humans. Just because you can't see what storm troopers look like doesn't mean it isn't meant to be assumed they are human. Given that using aliens in a sci-fi movie as the bad guys does a lot to make them seem more menacing, the fact that no aliens are ever shown with an empire uniform says quite a bit.
The funny thing is that the vast majority of rebel soldiers are also human, but that is probably due to budget constraints. There's never any dialogue indicating that humans are vastly more common than any sort of alien... although if the empire was killing a lot of aliens that would explain why.
Also the original movies don't display any sort of slavery theme about droids as far as I can see. It's pretty clear that people don't think droids are people, and that they really aren't people. If a slavery theme was supposed to be present somebody at SOME point would say something about the oppression of droids. It just doesn't happen. Droids aren't people and they don't care that they are being used for labor because that's how they were built. Whenever a droid does something unusual, like R2-D2 wandering off into the desert, it's because he was programmed to do it.
Even as a kid I never saw the different colored lasers as anything other than a method the movie makers were using to identify who is shooting. The only reason blaster rifles aren't green is because rebels use them too.
In If STAR WARS was only episodes 4, 5, and 6. by aaronjer:
I always viewed it as "Grand Moff outranks Darth." I didn't know what the titles meant specifically, but the implication was that Tarkin was only one rank below the emperor himself. It's actually kind of strange that the emperor himself wasn't captain of the Death Star... like... what did he have to do that was more important than that?

Just once...? I have instances that are sexually dubious in almost every dream, I just don't usually mention them unless they are funny in some way. Just last night there was a woman that had been cut down half her right leg and she was bleeding everywhere, I was successfully staunching the wound but at the same time had constantly wandering hands. She was most unimpressed.

It essentially works that the more good things you do the less support you will get from other nobles and their soldiers. But there are many other ways in which your good deeds make the game harder as well.
For example, Shael hunts and kills a benign magical creature and it brings a curse down upon him and his lands. He is told by magical spirits that he can only undo the curse by performing an act of great generosity. That translates to Gyllioc and Shael spending all of their money to help people afflicted by the curse. Obviously that's the good way out. You don't lose any support, but it's very expensive.
Evil methods involve letting everyone suffer the curse, or using a necromantic ritual to obliterate all the benign magical creatures from existence to end the curse.

Well, you definitely have a large impact on what happens in the Dead Kings. You're just not the hero. There isn't really a specific hero in the story. Even if you're being 'not evil' you're still taking over a country for personal gain. You can use that position to do good things along the lines of ending slavery or improving the lives of commoners (especially women, being born a girl in Muir is a dire fate), but overall Gyllioc just wants power. He's certainly not going to abolish the monarchy and start a democracy.
Although, I suppose, in the long run this is all just affecting the fate of a single country in a large world. I guess the really key difference is that the player's viewpoint is that of an arrogant noble, which I have never seen done before. The arrogant noble who has no qualms with using commoners is ALWAYS an antagonist in any story.

Well, unless Gyllioc releases Tirival he has very little free will. He's essentially wandering around doing almost nothing because he's a puppet with no puppetmaster. He hasn't been ordered to do anything in a couple hundred years. He can't do much other than wander around aimlessly, defend himself and mope unless he is ordered to. In the prolonged presence of an evil Gyllioc he will lose the rest of his free will and become undead. There's not much room for gray area there. He's basically not even a person unless he is freed.
What happens if you free him varies wildly however. If he thinks you're a good enough person he'll continue to follow you (not ever following your orders in combat, however) because you're going after the Dead Kings anyway. If you're not really, really good he'll leave and plot the demise of the Dead Kings (maybe or maybe not including you).

He's the only non-Caucasian character of significance in the entire story, but this shouldn't be surprising as the story takes place in pseudo-10th century Ireland.
Shael is an ex-noble from pseudo-India. His family was stripped of its status as punishment for its wrong-doing. Shael had nothing to do with his family's mistakes, but was de-nobled nonetheless. After a few months of him being a whiny bitch over the injustice, his king eventually got sick of him starting rebellions and sold him into slavery. He's an outstanding military officer, so after Shael frees him they chest-bump and bro-fist their way back into nobility. Shael isn't an especially bad person, but he'll endlessly tolerate any cruelty or depravity Gyllioc might get up to. He also shares Gyllioc's arrogant noble attitude, even when he's a slave, much to the chagrin of the common folk.

Since she is one of two people in the world able to magically heal people, and the only one that isn't a son of a bitch, she's pretty much considered a saint.
Fyin's daughter is intelligent enough to know that she's slower than most people. This bothers her quite a bit.

Bask in my majesty.
I'm really trying to avoid the "Psychopath who is bad for the evulz" idea. You won't have the option of stabbing the small starving child in the eye for no reason. Instead you'll have the option to take advantage of his desperation and send him on a dangerous recon mission that could easily get him killed.
I want all of Gyllioc's evil actions to be something someone evil would actually do, as opposed to something evil and silly a person playing a video game would want to do.

Computer. It's 146x146 resolution because the game is 480x300. It's pixelated because the game is pixelated. And I'm just drawing the girls first... because I like drawing girls. There's actually a lot less girls than guys. You end up with a party of six in the end, and I don't think more than one of them will ever be female. Possibly two if you have a daughter that grows old enough to fight and has some sort of combat ability.
The game is somewhat realistic in that women are pretty shitty in melee combat. Save one, the only women that are useful in combat have magic abilities, and magic is very rare. Azmagelle's daughter is supernaturally fast and can fight well in melee... but she's the only one.

Here is Fyin. Fyin is short for Fyinoula. (like finn-oo-lah)
Fyin is one of four possible love/'love' interests in the game. She's generally who you're going to get romantic with if you're being as good as possible... and thereby she is completely useless. She's fun to have around, but useless. In fact, though, she is the only one of the four who will ever actually love Gyllioc.
Fyin is an orphan, a peasant, very hungry and has almost nothing in the way of useful skills. She cannot read or write, save for her own name, and on top of that she isn't especially bright. In her culture it is generally accepted that girls are supported by their families until they are married and supported by their husbands. Fyin has no family. Fyin is shit out of luck.
You encounter her travelling along a dangerous road in a desperate attempt to find work, even though she has a recently broken ankle. She was travelling with a caravan, but they were attacked by goblins. Everyone ran away and left Fyin to die. Gyllioc can show up and, as Fyin comments to herself like she doesn't really believe it, "Dashing man saved me from the monsters."
That and a few other events lead to this:
Gyllioc then points out that if anyone deserves to be married into status it’s Fyin. At which point Fyin, completely surprised, responds with, “I do?”. Gyllioc tells her he didn’t mean this instant, and she can save the “I do” for later. Obviously, Fyin hopelessly crushes on Gyllioc.
You see? Gyllioc can be charming and heroic... it just results in marriage to somebody of no value. Also her potential daughter is probably the least useful child you can get. She has magical healing abilities (like all of Gyllioc's children), but she's not the sharpest crayon in the closet. Also she can get lost in her own home (which, in her defense, is a large castle) and end up virtually anywhere.
I appear to have done an extremely good job drawing her... somewhat shaming my previous drawing. Oh well. Please point out anything you may dislike about the drawing because it is difficult to judge one's own work.

Not quite sociopathic. Gyllioc is capable of caring about people. Blood relatives, for example. Basically he believes only his family are real people and everyone else is to be used. Which is why he's so very upset if he has to fight his own children... and that is a great deal of the reason why being evil ends up depressing.
Having options like "Forfeit and die/be sealed away forever" or "Kill your own children who you lovingly raised through most of the game" mean you're probably going to wish you weren't so evil.

Nope! Gyllioc can either be an arrogant noble who likes to make people's decisions for them, or he can be a depraved psychopath. There is also a range in between. For example, upon encountering Fia you can help her, leave her to die, kill her yourself or rape her. It's not just out of nowhere, either, this all happens after you join a group of bandits. You don't just randomly go up to people's houses and rape everyone all the time. In fact, it's probably the only time rape will even come up in the whole story.
Gyllioc is rarely a through and through good person, it's not in his nature to be heroic. He'll generally only do things he believes will get him something. This includes traumatizing Fia, he already knows it will benefit him strategically. As the game progresses if you're consistently good it will actually change his character and change what options are available to you. If you're really good all game you'll start losing evil choices later on, and vice versa.
The pay off for being evil is that the game is much easier, the pay off for being good is that the story isn't horribly depressing. I'm intentionally designing it so that being good is very difficult. What I want is for people to give up being good part way through the game because it's too hard, and then hate themselves for becoming evil because it's so much worse than your standard "evil game morality." Obviously, for sick psychopathic people being evil has no real downsides, other than the game being too easy.
My intention is also to make the game more enjoyable if you're good, because there's a lot more effort put into the dialogue. For example, if you're nice to Fia and help her out, she's hilarious and adorable. If you rape her she hardly speaks or does much ever again... other than occasionally try to commit suicide.

At last! A picture withe a different background!
This is Fia. She's potentially a very powerful sorceress, but she's terribly nervous and therefore not much use in combat... unless Gyllioc kills her father and rapes her. And we’re not talking any sort of holding back in the absolute devastation Gyllioc has planned for Fia. He tortures and kills her father in front of her, strips his bloody carcass bare, and forces Fia to look at him while he violently rapes her. We’re talking a permanent and overwhelming psychological trauma that Fia will definitely never recover from. Then after she gets over being catatonic she's no longer nervous because she doesn't care if she dies! This makes her much more useful in combat.
That is the sort of way that being evil makes the game easier.
Needless to say, forcing her to marry you and have kids results in a very dysfunctional family.

Actually there are no black people in the game. Everyone is white except for maybe two important characters and a few unnamed nobodies, and all of them are some kind of 'middle-eastern/Arabic/east Indian/I haven't decided yet'.

If you can, try turning off all encryption just to see if that is part of the problem. Unfortunately the normal steps I would go through would involve replacing the network card to isolate the problem, but that isn't going to be something you could do on your own.

Playing without the auction house in Diablo 3 will probably be as bad an idea as doing so in Diablo 2. Seeing as all the peoples trading OFF the auction house in Diablo 2 are doing so because they are scammers or assholes and got banned... or they're just extremely ignorant and somehow don't know d2jsp exists.
I've STILL never seen a Diablo clone that looked (or played) better than Titan Quest. That game is OOOOOLLLLDDDD... someone should have pulled it off by now. TQ isn't even that good!

Everyone was just standing around with their heads tilted and staring vacantly. I just thought, "Huh. So this is where my subconscious keeps all of this stuff." I came across the two versions of me that existed in that dream I had where I died and then possessed the body of a 14-year old girl. I had never really seen the original body I had before, seeing as it was obliterated about 70 seconds into the dream. The obvious thing to do was to draw me before I forgot myself.

There is no good way to learn how to play DF, that's sort of the point. I've played it a ton and I still have to look around for shit until I figure it out. Also, you won't notice for a while most likely, but the game is far less fun right now than it was in 40d. The material system for various metals and how they function as weapons and armor were made very realistic and it is NOT FUN AT ALL. Every battle is 100% one-sided... :(
Really though, there is not system to how DF works. It is rarely consistent. It really is all just individual memorization of what works and when. The menu system and controls are intentionally counter-intuitive. So counter-intuitive that the game is virtually unplayable without at least the 3rd party app called Dwarf Therapist.

Okay, brain slushie or not, when you get shot in the head and it pierces your skull you're pretty much fucked. The likelihood of surviving a bullet that cleanly shoots through your brain is pretty negligible compared to the difference between whether the bullet will pierce at all or not.
Not that that has anything to do with my point anyway, which is that .22s cause more headaches than other calibers. The deadliness of a piercing shot is sort of beyond the point where things matter.

In LoL by aaronjer:
You have to be able to deselect your hero so that you can select minions instead. I always random as well if given the option. If it's an -sd or -rd I'll usually just pick whatever is best for my team.
You should always play random characters when you first start playing the game. It's the only way to get a feel for all the characters and know how to deal with them when you're against them. The only case in which you should pick a hero is if you're playing with a team you know against a team that knows each other as well. Either that or everyone on your team picked ranged support or mid game characters and you have to pick a melee stunner to carry the team.
I agree about the item shop being worse, but it's still entirely tolerable. The hero models you just get used to. It was probably a long time ago but it was just as hard to get used to the heroes in DotA as well. Although it helped if you'd already played a lot of WC3.
And come on, SRAW. The network issues? HoN has DotA beat so hard all the rest of the stuff feels like useless fluff. I mean, the item shop is a little bit of a mess... BIG DEAL, you can fucking finish the game without half the players disconnecting! You can also find matches suitable to your skill level and people that dc on purpose don't get to play! It's awesome!
Anyway, essentially, LoL is DotA/HoN for noobs. It's like TF2 to FF or TFC. Everything is simplified and the skill ceiling is dragged kicking and screaming down to just above the floor. Being moderately proficient at playing DotA/HoN as it is, I could never play LoL. It's like putting the training wheels and floaters on simultaneously and then having my mom hold my hand while I play.
To answer your question about free HoN, I got a beta key. There are also other ways to play it free that I have never looked into because I got a beta key. I did pay for the game anyway, but I didn't have to, it just deserved my money.
Also... yeah... what the fuck IS with how cartoony LoL is? It out-cartooned DotA by a long shot, and DotA is pretty fucking cartoony.

^This.
But items is very picky. It's not a problem once you know how it works but the item shops won't function unless you're standing in the exact right spot, have your hero selected, and aren't in the middle of using or trying to use an ability. One of those things is probably why it didn't work. There's also the possibility that you were trying to buy secret shop items. The item menu shows every buyable item regardless of whether or not you're at the shop that sells it.
Most control problems in HoN boil down to not having your hero selected when you think you do.
There apparently is some bug in a recent patch I've heard people talking about that makes the shop freeze up rarely. It might have just been that. Normally I'd be all bitchy about a bug that big making it in to the game but the game is free...
SRAW said:
Umm dota is pretty balanced actually, and there is no 6 second stun with 4 second cooldown (infact the only 6 second stun in the game is techies stun mine, then I think the next longest is alchemist with 4, DK with 3 and the rest are mostly 2 seconds or less).
And I really don't like the cartoony graphics, and the stupid mastery system and the summoner stuff, the fact you can't pick up runes, and the item buying system is pretty dumb also.
Denying creeps is an important part of what makes Dota, since it usually gets your opponent pissed off if you play as sniper and deny every single creep until they start pinging at you like crazy

You couldn't play against them in HoN if you wanted to. The games are seperated by your score. You'd be unable to even join a game against people who aren't also newbies. And if you were pretty bad you'd quickly get tossed in with the low score crowd and be able to happily play with people of your skill level.
No... just... no. That's just not. Like, my god it's not. This is what I mean when I say people simply haven't played DotA. It's painfully obvious you haven't after saying something like that. Not more than barely scratching the surface of the game at most anyway.
I mean, good god. There are game modes. Most people play ranged characters? Yeah, I'm sure they can do that when they're assigned a random fucking hero.

Okay. Seriously. There can be bad music. It's hard to determine a particular threshold of when music is too bad for anyone to like it, but I can easily give you an example of something far beyond that threshold.

Anyway, that's a little extreme, but music that causes irritation in the vast majority of people that hear it could pretty universally be considered bad. Even a person that somehow enjoyed it anyway could still rationally come to the conclusion that it's bad music because of the negative effect it has on everyone else. Once again, bringing popularity into the spotlight.
There is music that I listen to and that I like that I still consider bad music, because it disappointed or annoyed the intended audience or didn't accomplish it's intended purpose. As far as I can tell, the majority of people that watch the anime Lucky Star hate the opening song. Even though I personally like it, I can still see it's terribly unpopular. I therefore judge it bad.

Just because someone's good at composing doesn't mean they can make it sound good on a computer. Music making software is more about dodging bugs and tricking the software into doing what you want than actually writing anything. It's unnecessarily difficult.
Also I don't think it's so easy to get a reasonably good musician to play your music. It's almost impossible to get people to listen to something, nevermind learn it and play it.
I don't think it would be very hard to get them to play it if you just paid them... but really, I'm not totally convinced everyone has had the same experiences with terrible audio software that you have. I think computers are a pretty viable option. There's a fair amount of reasonably well composed music that's never touched a real instrument made by random douche bags on the internet.

I don't think that's necessarily true. As long as you are subjecting the correct audience to your compositions it could take little effort to play the song. This is what I was talking about when I said it's easy to find a musician to play your music. When I say 'musician' I am not leaving out computers. Even if you had to resort to midi (please don't start talking about what midi really means, you KNOW what kind of midi I mean) there are people that inexplicably prefer it. Theoretically your music should sound good to the weird midi people if it's well-written.

Even if you had to resort to midi (please don't start talking about what midi really means, you KNOW what kind of midi I mean) there are people that inexplicably prefer it. Theoretically your music should sound good to the weird midi people if it's well-written.

Maybe maybe not. I suspect a combination of popularity, or success among target demographic, creativity and/or skill in some way add up to or approximate this "unmeasurable" thing.
It certainly works in the edge cases:
Random noise: 0 skill, 0 popularity, 0 "magic"
Great song*: 1+ skill, 1+ popularity, 1+ "magic"
*by any reasonable standard
I'm not in love with magic having a quantitative value attached to it, but I like the general idea. If you're right about the statistical probability of Lemmy fudging the numbers I think this is the least flawed method of determining how good music is.
I still don't think it's a very effective method, however, just... less flawed. I think the only case in which you can truly determine that a song is good or bad is if it is somehow wide-spread and generally reviled. Then you can be sure it is definitely a bad song.

That's also pretty much what I was saying. Difficult to determine due to abstract opinionyness. The italics part is what I meant when I said you just say 'fuck it'.
I just say, well, this exists but is virtually unmeasurable, so let's not use it... since we can't.

The other problem is that we all (probably) think there is something meaningful about the fact that a song is different from random noise, in that it has the ability (or at least is more likely) to evoke something in someone even if it never does.
It seems intuitive that a quality song can exist even if no one ever hears it.
I have no idea how to explain what that is, though.

Who determines which people are 'experts'?
How would you determine which people are experts without popularity? Doesn't this totally negate everything and simply go back to popularity anyway...?
I mean, it's easy to determine a mathematical expert by what they'd discovered or what they've proven or what they are capable of calculating... but... how do you determine an expert in the first place about something so thoroughly opinion based as music without using popularity?

The committees don't have a magic power to make everyone like what they pick. Commercial music can fail because it's not good enough. You make it sound like people are nothing but sheep being fed their Justin Bieber and liking it because they're told it's popular. I give people more credit than that. Justin Bieber IS a really good singer, and his music is definitely intended for pre-teen and teenage girls. If he changed his musical style and started making what you call 'good music' he'd lose popularity regardless of what the marketing told those girls. I don't think he's nearly as much of an automaton as you'd like to think.
To make things very clear, I don't think popularity is a very good way to measure how good music is in general. I just don't think there really is any other way to measure it. Popularity is a fairly arbitrary method of determining how good a song is, but every other method is pretty much 100% arbitrary. The whole point of a song is to enjoy it, if a ton of people like a song and an expert says it's bad... well... they weren't judging it on the only thing that actually matters. I'm not sure what they even could be judging it on other than whether or not people like it.
Why are we talking about this again, anyway? Weren't we supposed to be making fun of Outcast for thinking the composition of music is unimportant and easy?

You can't always write a holy fuck song? Almost nobody can ever do that. Really amazing composers are far more rare than really amazing players. You can go on youtube and find an endless supply of people who can play an instrument extremely well... or more than one at once occasionally. You can't really say the same as far as composing goes. The majority of those musicians are just playing somebody else's stuff. They don't even try to write their own stuff, and for good reason! It's fucking hard!
Playing an instrument requires zero creativity, just manual dexterity, quick thinking and a lot of practice. Anybody without a disability and a lot of patience can eventually play a song perfectly. You could give the average person all the time in the world and they'd never come up with an amazing song. You're either good at it or you're not. Practice won't help you if you're not a natural. Something that you have to be born with, like creativity, is far rarer than something that can be practiced and perfected.
So I'm sort of wrong on one count, I guess, there are amazing composers who can come up with an incredible song in less than a day, and there are also people who are mentally incapable of it. Hard doesn't even factor into it in those cases. For someone who is just fairly creative though, it'd be a hell of a lot of work.
It's still much more important to be able to write it than play it, since you can always find yourself a willing musician... it just isn't necessarily harder.

That's what the deleting your character part is for. You'd get diminishing or no returns for repeating the same quest... but the game can't possibly punish you for repeating something as a brand new character. It's kind of a meta-grind! Neat! Only not!

If you pay there is no grinding at all. You can grind instead of paying. You CAN grind in practically any game in existence... there's just no real need or benefit in DDO. In other MMOs the grinding is the game. In DDO it's what you do to make approximately 1 dollar an hour worth of turbine points until you've unlocked everything.
Personally, I never have, nor would I ever grind in DDO. The game is fun for me because I'm not grinding. If I had to grind for points it wouldn't be worth playing. But, for some reason, lots of people like grinding... so I guess it works for them!

You can grind to unlock everything in the game and you'll literally be in the same boat as the VIP people except you're not paying. People have done this. It takes a LONG time and a lot of VERY BORING grinding. At least a couple weeks straight of beating the very first few quests to gain some favor, get a few turbine points, delete the character and repeat.
I really do mean it when I say you can unlock absolutely everything by favor grinding. You can also just unlock everything once by paying for points and not pay a monthly fee at all. It costs 200 dollars or so, but you'd have everything unlocked forever and never have to pay again. People do it that way if they believe they'll be playing the game for more than a year anyway.
I pay monthly because I WANT to pay Turbine. They're awesome and made an awesome game. They deserve my monthly payment. I already have virtually everything unlocked anyway. I could stop paying, spend like 20 bucks, and be right back where I was anyway.
They don't need to force people to pay like that potato you mentioned because the game is actually good. People just want to pay for it because they think it's a good game or because they don't want to grind for points. Not because their character has crippling polio and the only cure is cash.

Everything can be obtained without paying for it because you get turbine points by playing the game. Some things can be obtained somewhat faster by paying. NO good items can be bought with real money. The only things you really need to purchase with points are adventure packs, and you only need a couple of them.
There is no penalty for being F2P. You just don't have access to as many things right off the bat. You don't have access to everything right away as VIP either. They didn't split the VIP and F2P quests in any meaningful way. Which quests are good/worth a lot/fun is totally random and with no real connection to whether or not it's free. The really big thing here is that if you have even one friend that is VIP they can use a guest pass that lets you into a quest you haven't purchased... so if you're good at making friends you can go everywhere anyway.
There is no real max level any more. It used to be 20, but now you can reincarnate. When you reincarnate you go back to level 1, can change anything about your character other than your name, start with higher base stats (cumulatively every time you reincarnate) and keep all your items. (this is especially meaningful because the vast majority of items are obtained when you're well above the level requirement to use them) It takes 1.6 times longer to level each time you reincarnate, which thankfully only stacks to a total of 2.2.
People level at extremely variable rates, and it really depends on your character build. If you make a healbot cleric you will only level as fast as the best party you can find. If you make a monk you can go from level 1-12 even on a reincarnated character in 48 hours by soloing everything. This, of course, is only possible if you're an unstoppable badass like me. Leveling gets much, MUCH slower as you get higher level, though. It's possible to hit level 20 with your first character in less than a week, but most people will take a few months.
If you're willing to spend ANY money at all I'd suggest you buy the monk class (only after you've unlocked 32-point builds), because it's fun and relatively easy to get passably good at playing, and the Vale of Twilight adventure pack, because it alone can get you to level 20 easily. Vale is still the first thing you should unlock even if you're doing it the free way.
If you don't want to pay any money you should make a healbot cleric (NOT A MELEE CLERIC THEY ARE TERRIBLE AND EVERYONE WILL HATE YOU IF YOU MAKE ONE) because everyone will always want you in their group, or a wizard because they get unreasonably powerful when they hit level 7. They kinda suck before that... but good god. Fire wall is a retardedly powerful spell. If you're terrible at games you should make a fighter or barbarian because they're by far the easiest to play. They only have a small number of special abilities though, so don't expect them to be particularly exciting to play. They only thing you really, REALLY shouldn't start the game as is a rogue. It takes a huge amount of skill to play a rogue effectively, and even though they are unbelievably powerful in the right hands, trust me when I say you'll just die constantly without doing anything if you try to play one right off the bat. They have the lowest hp in the game, draw aggro like a giant shining beacon, have god awful resistance to spells and most of their stats are devoted to non-combat abilites.

The only manner with which you've annoyed me is by declaring things about DDO when I'm pretty sure you've never even played it.
Go play the game for a couple of weeks and then I won't be irritated no matter how thoroughly opinionated you are. It's entirely possible I'm just crazy and it's exactly like Everquest... but there's no way you could know that just by looking at a character build.
I came to my conclusion by playing the game and discovering that:
1. You have to manually aim nearly every spell by pointing with the mouse and timing when the spell will reach the target. Like a real game. This also means you can manually dodge most spells and projectiles.
2. For most characters when an enemy is trying to cut your face off with a sword you have to actually get the fuck up out the way instead of relying on a number roll. Very, very few characters actually use Armor Class.
3. You never have to target anything or stop moving to hit it, even with a melee weapon. If you swing a big axe it hits whatever is in its arc. This is probably the biggest difference from standard MMOs, in almost any game you have to stop moving when you attack... even Diablo 2 is plagued with that stupidity. You have no idea how right it feels to be able to run around while fighting in an MMO.
4. The game even steals kickass elements from Diablo 2 like piercing arrows so you run around trying to line up a a multi-shot that will hit like 7 dudes and instantly kill them all.
5. Two people playing the exact same character will have wildly different results based on general video game skills. No matter how good your character is you'll just die horribly if you don't have fast reflexes.
6. As I've mentioned before, the game actually punishes you for grinding. It is the only game I know of, MMO or not, that will be mean to you for trying to grind. You can't just stand in one spot and farm respawning monsters, as killing monsters doesn't give you any xp. You can't keep farming the same quest because the xp you get for it drops VERY quickly, and never goes back up again. Loot will stop spawning in a quest as well if you try to farm it. In some cases the game will actually hit you with debuffs or even kill you if you're trying to grind.
7. There is no penalty for dying so there is no reason to sit around trying to level up on boring easy quests. You can always dive into the hardest challenge available. And... everyone does... it's pretty hilarious. Quest failure is VASTLY more common than success.

You don't understand. If you haven't played several MMOs just trust me. You don't understand. MMO is a terrible name for the genre. What MMO really means is grinding with a chat box. That is ALL it means. The grind might have some different art attached to it but in the end there is no real difference between something like Everquest, Asheron's Call, WoW or even EVE. They're all the same thing. All you do is grind. The only fun there is to have is by talking with people.
The reason DDO is different is because people play it single player. I'm usually not playing with other people or even talking to them. The game is fun on it's own without any interaction with other people. No other MMO can come close to making that claim. And I'm not just playing through something to level up or grind an item, I don't get anything out of the quest other than the fun of playing it at least half the time.

This isn't really set in stone. I actually specifically wanted Resistance +5 and Insight AC Bonus +4, but the Exceptional stat could work just as well in dex, con or wis.
If you don't have a Mabar Cloak of Night, which probably won't be possible to get again for a very long time, you may want deathblock instead of Resistance +5.
The sovereign rune is not up for debate. Heightened Awareness is by far the best option. The only other source of Heightened Awareness +4 is green steel weapons, and monks aren't allowed to use them.

Character Build!
Lawful Neutral Halfling <-- (LN alignment is very important. Monks arbitrarily automatically pass UMD checks on handwraps. Being good = no benefits and you take more damage from evil creatures.)
34-Point Build Stats
Strength: 14
Dexterity: 18
Constitution: 14
Intelligence: 8
Wisdom: 15
Charisma: 8
(Additional points you get on level up go into dex and wis. I'd suggest 4 dex and 1 wis if you're using mostly +1 weapons, and 2 dex 3 wis if you're using mostly higher bonuses. If you're not sure what weapons you will have stick with 4 dex 1 wis to play it safe.)
Skills
Balance
Jump
Concentration
Tumble (Only if you use a +2 intelligence tome)
Feats
Level 1: Toughness, Two Weapon Fighting
Level 2: Stunning Fist
Level 3: Weapon Finesse, Fists of Light
Level 6: Power Attack, Luck of Heroes
Level 9: Improved Two Weapon Fighting
Level 12: Past Life: Disciple of the Fist
Level 15: Greater Two Weapon Fighting
Level 18: Dodge (This isn't important. You can get just about anything for this feat and you're not going to ruin your character)
Enhancements
I haven't made a halfling monk before. Your enhancements will be pretty different from mine. Just take Shintao, Wind Stance, Toughness and Wis/Dex enhancements as soon as it lets you.
In between take The Receptive Earth, Restoring the Balance, Difficulty at the Beginning, and Lifting the Veil in no particular order. After you have all four of these you can take Rise of the Phoenix whenever more important things aren't available.
Take Halfling Cunning/Guile/Luck bonuses last, in this order of importance:
Will Saves
Reflex Saves
Cunning
Guile
Fortitude Saves (Monks very rarely need to make fortitude saves, because they're immune to everything naturally.)
At low levels if you're forced to take something that isn't in this list go for concentration/balance/jump/tumble skill enhancements in that order until you can take something better.
I really don't actually know what enhancements are going to be available to you at what level because of the halflingness, but, it's not a big deal as you can reset them every 3 days anyway.
Now you're probably going to ask me about Green Steel and Dragontouched, right?

I just use a treadmill or exercise bike and go full blast for like 20 minutes or until I pass out. And I eat nothing at all. Nothing with nutritional value. You get a slightly higher chance of organ failure, but you lose a lot less muscle mass.
This is really key. Most people think it sounds like weeks of torture, but it's really just two days of being uncomfortable and then you're just kinda tired for a long time.

What you said first looked like you were just giving us the dictionary definition of bale, thinking we were wondering what a bale was. If that was not the case then I suppose you're not a dumbass.
For clarity's sake, I would consider a bale to be not a certain specific mass of hay, but a range. Something like 1000-2000 generic units of hay would be a bale, any fraction above or below that would no longer be a bale. Taking one straw away from a bale would not make it stop being a bale unless it was already at the lowest end of the range.

Personally, as far as the heap/bale thing goes there's two responses I might have. The first is that I'd give it an exact mass requirement to be a heap/bale like DR did and would strictly adhere to that measurement.

Personally, as far as the heap/bale thing goes there's two responses I might have. The first is that I'd give it an exact mass requirement to be a heap/bale like DR did and would strictly adhere to that measurement. The second, and far more likely, would be that I wouldn't care enough because it's very unimportant whether or not heaps are classified correctly or not.

And you don't find that hilarious...? What is it that I'm missing here? ICP is funny whether they're being crazy, stupid or joking around. Juggalos are pretty much exactly as funny. I don't get what the problem is here.
I've never seen or heard them be actually serious about anything ever before, so I have a hard time believing they are serious about Miracles. I haven't seen any interviews of them, and frankly, I find it weird that anyone here has. I guess I'll just have to trust you that they were serious this one time? Regardless, they don't sound like they're joking much of the time when they sing about killing rednecks, racists and adulterous women... but they don't actually believe in doing that.

In Dream Time by aaronjer:
I had a dream with an impressive plot twist.
I was a spy for a sort of global criminal organization. One of those James Bond type organizations except without silly giant lasers and ridiculous henchmen. We still had an evil island headquarters though. We were pretty much just making money illegally and occasionally assassinating people. Of course, in James Bond fashion, there was a super-spy and a secret government task force out to stop us.
The super-spy's codename was Idea. I never found out her real name. She was tall, beautiful and a total badass. Everywhere she went our schemes fell into disarray. I have fond memories of escaping from one of my organization's secret mountain bases just before she blew it up. I believe that occurred in Switzerland. As time went on I noticed more and more that although she had impressive combat skills and a tactical mind, nearly endless resources, and competent allies her most potent weapon was luck. Buildings would crash down around her and leave her unscratched, while crushing her enemies. That sort of thing.
My organization's evil board of directors decided to lay a trap for her. We leaked information about our secret island headquarters while at the same time we moved our important assets elsewhere. Our plan was to set an ambush for her there, which I was the leader of, and if we failed we'd blow up the entire island and her with it. For once, everything seemed to be falling into place for us. She came to the island alone, and after a short chase we managed to corner her up against a cliff. Before I finished raising my gun to shoot her I was already worried because of the grin on her face. My handgun was freed from my grasp by means of a sniper bullet, and my team was immediately shot dead by special forces hiding in the forest around us. She knew who I was, and knew that I had information. As a last ditch effort I activated the detonator to destroy the island and with it both of us. Quite unpredictably, it did not function. She told me she had already disarmed the bomb.
This... this was not possible. Not even just villain yelling "IMPOSSIBLE!" kind of impossible. It was really, actually and totally impossible. I had just set the bomb and walked out of the only entrance to the base to meet her as she came in from the beach. My people were watching her the whole time. Maybe someone else could have disarmed the bomb, but it certainly wasn't her. I mentioned my revelation to her, and to my surprise, she looked just as confused as I was. She then looked as though she had just come upon a most horrifying realization. At that moment the world began to fade away. Everyone and everything except her slowly turned dark and disappeared. She fell unconscious and to the non-existent floor. At the same time she inexplicably lost a decade of age. She had been in her late twenties before and now looked like she was about eighteen.
A new world formed around us. A small, poorly lit world. Even with only morning light coming through a covered window I could tell this was a teenage girl's room. Cluttered posters of sexy men and cosmetic messiness. Idea was in what appeared to be her bed, just stirring to wake up. It then occurred to me that I had not traveled through time, and that this wasn't some ridiculous plot to extract information from me. Everything had been her dream. It made perfect sense. She was the center of everything and her luck really was a thing of fantasy. The only thing that didn't fit is that I didn't disappear with the fantasy. My suit was even still a little sandy from being on the island.
I was at a complete loss for action or words. I had no immediate reason to kill her anymore, as she clearly wasn't an actual super-spy... and the criminal organization I worked for didn't even exist. I tried desperately to think of what I should do in this situation when Idea's yelp of surprise brought me to full attention. She was just as surprised to see me as I was to exist. My impulsive instinct was to shoot her and run away, and my back-up handgun had come out of the dream with me. I did not do this though. My curiosity was a strong deterrent. Also one has to be very determined to go through with the shooting a of a pretty, unarmed girl in her underwear. I was greedy evil, not psychopath evil. Then she started screaming, I guess she was at a loss for rational action in this irrational situation as well. I instinctively pulled out my gun and pointed it at her, but this only made her scream incoherently and interject phrases like "don't shoot me" and "he's got a gun".
Before I could put the gun away, which I now felt foolish for bothering to point at her, her parents burst in through her door. They angrily asked me who the fuck I was. I responded truthfully by telling them I didn't know because she didn't think up a name for me. The father, armed with a .45, clearly believed me to be armed and insane and fired at me. With apparent success I dove out of the way and fired back. I was an excellent marksman in Idea's imagination, and that didn't change here. I was quite sure I had put a bullet in both her parent's brains, regardless of how tangled I was with Idea after having dived in the direction far less likely to receive bullets. Despite this, her father continued to be alive and point a gun at me. I fired again with no effect. I paused with confusion and her parents paused with hesitation. I suppose Idea preferred to be alone in bed, and she unceremoniously dumped me on the floor. Now clear of accidental daughter shooting tragedies, Idea's father shot at me. His weapon also seemed to be firing blanks. I leapt up and threw a punch at him, which he was too inept to step out of the way of, and I found myself stumbling on the other side of him.
Apparently I had been reduced to being Idea's imaginary friend. Except I was more an imaginary enemy... and everyone else could see me... and I could touch her. I also seemed to be able to interact with physical objects in a frustratingly arbitrary manner. I did not pass through her bed or the floor I was standing on, but I did pass through his clothes as I passed through him . It was like a poorly written movie and I found it to be most irritating. Her father turned around to look for me, after I had got all up in his face and disappeared from his perspective. I attempted to grab the gun out of his hand, and much to my surprise, it actually worked! I was pretty sure I could really shoot him with this gun. Luckily for Idea's family structure and income, I realized he had no way of harming me before I decided to shoot him.
Sadly, I remember almost nothing after this point, as people wouldn't quit distracting me from writing this. There was something about a war going on with aliens which turned out to really be between God and the Devil. I was the only one unaffected by the devil's evil powers because I wasn't real or some shit like that. Also I'm pretty sure I sexually assaulted Idea in a bathroom at some point... while her friends were there. Hey, it was her fault I was evil. Shut up.

You had 29 hours to stop talking about hacks and thereby avoid pissing off the admins. You even posted a link to hacking related material (which I probably should have banned you for on the spot). Seriously. Just shut the fuck up about hacks. Do not post things about hacks other than that you hate them. Also do not post pictures of a 9-year old boy having sex with a dog on top of a Lamborghini. That would also get you banned.

That argument doesn't work here. Guns actually have useful and beneficial functions, game hacks do not. The only result of producing hacks is more hackers. It is ONLY bad. The idea that making more of them won't increase the number of hackers is just stupid. Making hacks is MUCH worse than hacking oneself.
Figure it out already. You're okay with ruining people's fun. You are an ASSHOLE.

I didn't specify what I mean when I said success. I wasn't implying anything about how much money it made or anything like that. That sentence was just supposed to be taken as "Target audience enjoyment = How good it is."
There is a reason why you can't qualify how good a song is by how it is written or what it sounds like. It has too little to do with people actually enjoying it. Someone like you or me has the ability to analyze a song and determine in a relatively 'expert' way if it is original or well-written. Most people do not have this ability in spades. Most people determine to themselves whether or not a song is 'good' simply by finding out if it is on the radio and if it is by an established artist. That is more important to people than any actual property of the song. I'd LIKE to say that is unimaginably stupid, but I won't pretend that wouldn't just be my bias in musical taste talking. I can't say those people are judging music the wrong way because I certainly can't determine that they are enjoying themselves any less than I am.
The funny thing is that I do the same thing as the people who judge music by something other than it's artistic qualities. I'd say about 55% of my opinion of any given song is based on what the song is used in. This is why I primarily listen to music that is from games/movies/TV shows. I can easily recognize that a lot of music that I listen to I wouldn't enjoy if it wasn't from something I like. I COULD still analyze the music I listen to and determine if it is well-written in a music theory sense... but what's the point? It wouldn't change whether or not I enjoy it.
I'm sure that some people base their opinion of a song solely on it's artistic qualities. I agree that it would make more SENSE if everyone did, but in the end it's just snobby to declare a song good or bad in general based on such an underused set of criteria.
So this all means that determining how good a song is has to take in all sorts of factors. The factors are wildly different depending on the target audience. For someone like Ke$ha to make a good song she simply has to make sure it isn't too different from current pop music to be accepted. That along with the song having her name attached to it and it playing on the radio will make her target audience like it, and thereby mean the song was good. The factors for someone making music that you or I would enjoy are totally different. The problem I have with this author is that he is applying the factors of his kind of music onto another. Pop music doesn't follow the same rules as whatever music you listen to, author guy! Stop trying to stuff it into your mold, author guy! It makes you look like an elitist asshole, author guy! Figure out that the only thing that matters is if people ENJOY a piece of music, author guy!

I don't actually think about who would or wouldn't like a song when I listen to it. That seems totally alien to me. If I'm playing a game I'll think about who might like it so I can play it with them. Listening to music isn't something that requires more than one person.
I go back to what I just said about how well music is received by the target audience.
Analyzing music any further about originality, repetitiveness or how it holds up with music theory falls under the field of being a pretentious douche.

Which brings me to his first stupid thought. The author assumes I know who he is talking about as if everyone does. He apparently assumes all people watch TV or listen to the radio.
He then moved on to his whole thing about how some people use CD players or equivalent and some people use radios. He then went on to say that he uses a radio as if he'd rather be using a more controlled form of music. He then even says he is caused great distress by what he hears over the radio. So... uh... how about instead of spending all this time writing an essay you go GET A FUCKING CD PLAYER?

@Aaronjer, what I don't like about CRT is that it emitts a bright tone all the time it's turned on. Kinda sucks since it increases my tinnitus.
Okay, you're going to have to explain exactly what you mean here. To be clear, this is in no way an argument that you should use CRTs. Are you talking about a sound or a visual effect here? Bright means you're seeing it, but tone could be either visual or audio... and tinnitus is an ear problem. Are you actually seeing something that causes ringing in your ears, or did you just use a really inappropriate word there?
In Yellow tinted screen? by aaronjer:
High end CRTs have better picture quality than LCDs. It's unfortunate that they are so hard to find now. They also don't get dead pixels. They don't have any of that native resolution bullshit, and in fact work with any resolution you throw at them. Unless you need to move it there's really nothing disadvantageous about a CRT.
Quote from comparison:
So... uh... unless you need portability, LCDs just suck ass in every way. Everyone keeps saying "in a few years LCDs will catch up!" but they never do and I don't think they will. Of course, if you want a REALLY BIG TV as a computer monitor, the LCDs are WAAAY better. CRTs are terrible if they are any larger than 21", for some reason...

All around, CRT's reproduce color, brightness, and picture clarity better than anything else, which is why they are used as a benchmark for all other monitor types.

I don't think our server even has a password, seeing as the occasional confused Turkish guy joins and eventually gets himself banned via not shutting up.

Well, I just fell asleep while this thread was in front of me. I was only asleep for twenty minutes or so, but I dreamed the fuck out of those twenty minutes.
It all started because McDonald's ran into a legal issue that required them to take chicken McNuggets off of their menu unless they were sold in groupings of three for seventy-five cents. The obvious result of this catastrophe is that I was financially devastated. There's no hidden meaning here, it just didn't make sense. My only rational option was to become a hypnotist and swindle my way back to success.
My first target was a seedy looking motel in California. I intended to rob travelers of their valuables, but the place had been refurbished into a secret brothel. I attempted to enter along with one of the working girls, but I was forced to wait outside for 'security clearance' or some such. After I went inside the girls tried to convince me they weren't really prostitutes, and that they were really just doing all of this because they needed money to appease a monster in the darkness. They weren't making much sense and it all sounded like a bunch of hooey, but I wasn't planning on paying anyway. I noticed a safe in the office that likely contained the means to success.
I was led around by a tanned girl in a blue t-shirt and panties to the various rooms to see my options. I should mention that she had a weirdly low voice, although still feminine. The first room contained a woman dressed like a wizard. This included a fake white beard. I didn't comment. The second room contained an older woman in an excessive and bulbous green dress. I passed. The third room contained a very attractive woman in her mid-twenties except that the room looked like the bedroom of a teenage girl and she was dressed to match. She was chewing gum and reading a magazine on her bed. She glanced up at me and just said, "No." We moved on. The final room contained a pair of twins in plaid skirts. One appeared very happy to see me, and the other looked very upset and was stacking music CD's precariously in the middle of the room. They were hot and everything, but this was no time for a cooter sandwich. My guide declared something along the lines of "Or you can just fuck this meat right here and now!" gangsta style in her low voice while pointing at herself. I said I'd seen enough.
I snapped my fingers and she went into a daze. As did the twins who were still watching us. After directing her to open the safe and retrieving the precious monies within, I told her (while she was still in a daze) that a thirteen year-old boy who they had offended after repeated visits stole it out of spite. I don't really know why I said that.
Sadly, I'm forgetting this one extremely fast. All I can remember is that I eventually ended up in a mob boss's mansion. He knew about my hypnotism, which required line of sight to my fingers as I snapped them, and had several guards facing away from me, ready to respond to any funny business. He was upset because his daughter's dog had been eaten by the monster that the prostitutes were appeasing after I stole the money. She was also upset. I was even more upset because I thought they were going to shoot me. Things were upset, y'hear? With my hand in my pocket, where the mob boss told me to keep it, I managed to strike a match. The fire spread up my sleeve and I reacted with surprise. Everyone in the room was also surprised and all turned to face me. I laid the hammer down with my hypnotism and the fire arbitrarily went out. Apparently I could hypnotize fire too. I was so excited about my badass maneuver that I woke up.

My guide declared something along the lines of "Or you can just fuck this meat right here and now!" gangsta style in her low voice while pointing at herself. I said I'd seen enough.
I snapped my fingers and she went into a daze. As did the twins who were still watching us. After directing her to open the safe and retrieving the precious monies within, I told her (while she was still in a daze) that a thirteen year-old boy who they had offended after repeated visits stole it out of spite. I don't really know why I said that.
Sadly, I'm forgetting this one extremely fast. All I can remember is that I eventually ended up in a mob boss's mansion. He knew about my hypnotism, which required line of sight to my fingers as I snapped them, and had several guards facing away from me, ready to respond to any funny business. He was upset because his daughter's dog had been eaten by the monster that the prostitutes were appeasing after I stole the money. She was also upset. I was even more upset because I thought they were going to shoot me. Things were upset, y'hear? With my hand in my pocket, where the mob boss told me to keep it, I managed to strike a match. The fire spread up my sleeve and I reacted with surprise. Everyone in the room was also surprised and all turned to face me. I laid the hammer down with my hypnotism and the fire arbitrarily went out. Apparently I could hypnotize fire too. I was so excited about my badass maneuver that I woke up.

So how about that hollow Ichigo putting Ulqiorra in his mouth and eating him, huh? I appreciated that there wasn't even any Ichigo left inside that skull mask like a normal hollow. It didn't appear to be a mask at all, it was just his head. 10 bucks says he attacks Ishida and Orihime next. The part where he nearly killed Orihime and didn't seem to notice or care seems good evidence it may happen.
Do you have an obsession with repeatedly rewatching the various scenes in which Ichigo nearly dies and the hollow gets out and murders everything? I can't decide which one I like the most out of episode 59, 233 or 271. I do like how the hollow is less human and more mindless every time it gets out. It actually talks in 59 and only shows up as a mask. In 233 it can only go "Yaaahh!" while its attacking and such, and even though it manifests as an entire creature you can still clearly see Ichigo inside it when it opens its mouth. Now in 271 its completely silent except for the obligatory hollow howl and there is nothing inside it at all.
Oh... and I think Ichigo just won the contest for most evil looking protagonist.

I finally beat Factory with Wizard. I got a little lucky with the items and got a physical resist and a +attack/+life item. The important part, though, was that I found the poison glyph and the golem didn't resist it too much. I started killing him at like level 6 and took advantage of as much unexplored space for healing as possible. I also knocked several of the animated armors down to one hit as possible and used them to level up an get my health/mana back. I ended up with far more healing and mana potions than I needed to kill the meat man.
I have now discovered, because of this, that crusaders totally suck. If you have an absolutely ideal situation they are quite good, and end up doing like 600 damage in the end, but that happens maybe 1/15 times.

It crashes or at least totally bugs out whenever a USB device is unplugged or plugged in. It also occasionally forgets to kill me when I die, but I can no longer damage anything and the retire button does nothing. At that point I just Task Manager it to death and it screams out INVALID FLOATING POINT or some shit.
Beating the crypt with the Assassin is extrememly easy if you're a little lucky. You need to find a Glowing Guardian or Pactmaker altar before doing much of anything, and the HALPMEH glyph really early on. It's probably best to be a human or an elf for it, the benefit is probably around the same.
I'm having trouble with the Wizard in the Factory challenge. I've gotten really close two times. I think I can only win out of luck by happening to find an evasion item and use the evasion deity bonus on top of it... and just hope they miss most of the time. Luckily it's really easy to hit level 10 before even fighting the bosses, because you can kill the animated armor things with fireballs so very easily no matter what level they are. Too bad being level 10 doesn't help, the bosses will still grind you into hamburger.

It also occasionally forgets to kill me when I die, but I can no longer damage anything and the retire button does nothing. At that point I just Task Manager it to death and it screams out INVALID FLOATING POINT or some shit.
Beating the crypt with the Assassin is extrememly easy if you're a little lucky. You need to find a Glowing Guardian or Pactmaker altar before doing much of anything, and the HALPMEH glyph really early on. It's probably best to be a human or an elf for it, the benefit is probably around the same.
I'm having trouble with the Wizard in the Factory challenge. I've gotten really close two times. I think I can only win out of luck by happening to find an evasion item and use the evasion deity bonus on top of it... and just hope they miss most of the time. Luckily it's really easy to hit level 10 before even fighting the bosses, because you can kill the animated armor things with fireballs so very easily no matter what level they are.

I started next to two monsters that did more damager per hit than I had health. I died before doing anything at all. This game is fucking stupid.
It should be mentioned that these two monsters were blocking the only exit from the room. The next game I played allowed me to kill two monsters and then be left to choose a monster to kill myself on.

It's not just two minutes of boring crap at the beginning. You have to get past around five and THEN it actually gets interesting. They didn't need to actually show the whole fucking fake skill video to get the point across... it could have just lasted like 10 seconds.
The "I just pick off the stragglers... I'm a good person!" *blam-blam-blam* was pretty great.

I tried to watch the show for a few months back in junior high when it first came out but it did not click with me. It just kept annoying me that it was so pointlessly different from the games. It was visually similar, and other than that... pretty much it's own thing.
I could never figure out why a pikachu was considered the most powerful pokemon EVAR! It annoyed me to no end. I was all like, damn, even evolved into a raichu it is a below average Pokemon. Why wasn't it just a Red/Blue starter? Those are actually good. And if it needed to be a cute electric pokemon why wasn't it just a Jolteon? Jolteons are still even in Gen 4 the best electric sweeper... and literally better than a raichu (and especially a pikachu) in every way. In fact, Jolteon is easily one of the most overpowered Pokemon in the games, it eats legendaries for breakfast and then craps out actual thunder (which kills another legendary). It just deeply annoyed me that the people making the show obviously knew jack shit about the games.
Then the card game... I never even looked at it. I was just all, "Why- in the FUCK, would I play a card game when there is already a video game of the same thing." I'd already dealt with one pale imitation via the show, and I wasn't going to get suckered into a second one.

I never got into anything Pokemon other than the main series of games, so I can only assume that card is a good one. When I play the old Pokemon games I just cry a little, because I remembered them being good, but they're totally unplayable compared to the new ones.
Trading and battling with other people was a mess before the DS, and before Gen 3 the games had no difficult battles against NPCs at all... they're so... boring. Even the battle against Red in GSC was pretty 'meh' compared to the Battle Tower/Frontier/Whatever Post Elite Four Thing stuff. In Gen 1 and 2 it was like you have all these Pokemons... and nothing to DO with them. There's no reason to try to plan a really competitive team.

I also grew up with first gen... and then I waited a very long time and eventually played GSC and RSE. They were not any less fun because of the time I spent not playing Pokemon.
I mean, finding new Pokemon you haven't seen before is pretty much the most fun thing that happens in the games... why would you not like that? Did you pick squirtle in first gen, and be all like, "I LOVE THIS POKEMON!" and then step outside and hate all the rest of them because you hadn't seen them before?

Later on I was actually at some sort of religious facility and they were doing it again! In front of other nuns and a priest! I was like, OMG, those are some brazen nuns.
