As I'm writing this, September 3rd, Europe was in turmoil exactly one hundred years ago.
One hundred years and two weeks ago, France mobilized for war
One hundred years and a week and a half ago, the first major battle of WWI happened.
One hundred years and a week and a half ago, the French and British stalled the German advance into France. The German's Schlieffen Plan, designed to capture Paris and bring a quick end to the war, failed.
One Hundred years ago today, millions of
Well, considering today is July 4th, the date of our declared independence from Great Britain, I feel the desire to express my feeling towards this country. I apologize in advance if this entry isn't greatly organized, as I'm mainly going to express what comes to mind.
They speak of this country, at least by those living in it, as a land of the free, something that's truly unique in the sense that it is here that the working man supposedly can make his dream life come true with a bit of luck
This game is quite...interesting. It is quite glitchy at the moment, but I expect it to be fixed sometime soon. For those of you who think it will get old quick, I found out that it will be added to the Steam Workshop where you can make and download levels the community makes, so there's that.
Anyway, here are several pics (ten of them) I took, mostly involving the physics engine of the game (which I love)

This is kind of a rant about what I've observed a whole lot lately on the forums, so if you're not one for rants, I'd imagine you'd know to not press this entry any further.
I don't really know if I'm considered an old-timer. I've seen some members who have been here since 2011; I think Zygen is one such member if I recall correctly. Despite this, things have changed so much on the forums and it is a change I dislike and even despise to a certain degree.
I remember when I first joined b
My birthday was on the 15th of January, however I have a good explanation: I was too lazy to do so until now.
Really my only gift was a reproduction of a 1777 Charleville flintlock musket. The gun Americans used to fight off the British in the Revolution, and the model for the 1795 Springfield.
I named her Erika. The name isn't really symbolic, I just love the name Erika XD
Que the pictures!
This gives you an idea of how long she is, as this is a twin size bed

Well, we've gotten to my favorite part of history in history class, revolution. We'll be going over the American Revolution, the French Revolution, and the Russian Revolution. Today was our last day going over the American Revolution, and in doing so I had to read up on the bill of rights and the US Constitution, and my findings refreshed my hatred for the current state of my country.
What infuriates me is the corruption of our country. I do realize our country is not that corrupt when it co
A certain member on here, one who I thought I was close with, has betrayed his sanity, well, what sanity he had left. He believe friendship, even goodness itself, is worthless because evil overcomes all. He claims good people are not wanted in today's society, and that the only winning side is Evil.
I apologize for my...depressed status updates. I actually believed this shit for a second. I wish you all to listen to how I view the world. I view it as a cesspool of vileness, greed, corruptio
I feel the desire to express my profound amount of gratitude for the forums and it's members.
I'm 15 years old at the moment, I've spent only one of those 15 years as a member on these forums, yet I've seen more kindness and more compassion in that one year than in the other 14. The amount of kindness and genuine concern that is expressed for each other daily on this site astounds me at times, even now when I should be used to it. Suicidal status updates can be flooded with comments of pe
Right, I have a question for all every non-American. Candian, Asian, British, all countrymen are welcome as long as you don't live in the states!
The Question is simple: What do you think of America.
To be honest, I hate America. I should know, I'm an American myself. We have the most idiotic healthcare system in the world, some of the most corrupt politicians I've ever seen, and the most ignorant and overly-patriotic populace to ever walk the Earth. I can't help but laugh whenever
It has become apparent to be that many trolls have begun to put the word 'Brony' in their name, and then they proceed to blurt out random balderdash as to enrage others and most likely create a bad name for us.
'Twas on the 84e Siege Server, where there was a player by the name of "Brony_Warrior", I believe.
There were alot of French-speaking...french people on the server today, which led him to say "Stupid french atheists". I was rather bored, so I decided to humor him by asking him why
Fate has a way of being horridly cruel. Yesterday, as I was feeling happier then ever, Fate decided to punch me in thegut and stab me through the ribcage with a rusty bayonet.
I had a wonderful epiphany:
I have no effect upon the hearts of those with depression. It is a medical condition and mere words of encouragement cannot help a medical condition. They can persuade people not to take their lives, but y'know..Depressed people can be a bitch to persuade
Have I given up? Yes. I
Although the term PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) has only been around for the past 30-40 years, physical and mental changes in soldiers have been obserbed all through out the era of "civilized warfare" and beyond.
Napoleonic Wars and the American Civil War
There is only one possible case of PTSD that I know of during the Napoleonic Wars -and even then it's still highly debatable whether it was actually PTSD- which involves one of France's most well known people from the First Repu
Well, it was around this time that I became a brony :3.
I won't bother sharing my story, as it is nothinig original, it merely invovles watching it out of curiousity and liking it XP.
Kinda hard for me to believe that I've been a brony for a whole year. A whole year of almost complete happiness, with a few downs then and there. A whole year of looking at humanity in a completely new light.
A whole year of a new, happier, more kind me.
After watching FiM, and seeing the brony community, seeing humanity's at it's best (compared to all the other shit that goes on), my overall mood improved.
Soon enough I joined this forums, and met a few friends, a few true friends, one of whom I've grown close to. This brings me to my lovely little problem:
Never before had I had a true friend, someone who truely cares for your wellbeing, someone who values the friendship you share with them, someone to tell your problems and concerns t
The 33rd Siege server today was filled with a bunch of inbred, close minded, ignorant, and racist rednecks who wouldn't shut up about CSA and Dixie, and a bunch of anitbronies and the same time. I was certain this would lead to something hilariously funny, and it did.
From what I gathered, we are apparently the anit-christ, and deservng of eternal damnation for liking ponies. (Sorry guys, I didn't want it to end this way ;^. Ponies are also for men who want to *insert sexual inneudo here*.
So, I was away this week, for I was at a bagpipe camp (And the experience for me was a "meh...", aside from the teaching (because that was very helpful in my case).
Anyway, there's this guy who sleeps in the same 'apartment' as me, and I always find him out on the deck watching videos/listening to music on his ipod. Today, I walked over as he was watching some video to see what he was watching, and I swear I saw Doctor Whooves (the corrupted version):
When I asked him about it
Right, so I was trying to take a French fort with good old musket and cannon, when one the Deputy Admins said "gg everypony". Midst the violent uproar of ignorance, I eventually I started talking with him in the chatbox. This is the knowledge that I left with:
He said the term 'brony' did not only apply to those who liked the show, but also those who were sexually attracted to horses, ponies, and the like. He said he was not a fan of MLP, but he was attracted to horses. I have doubts on
After reinstalling steam (and freeing up over 200 GB of memory) because my multiplayer games weren't working correctly, I was able to get on the. What awaited me was a chatbox full of ignorant people. I decided to have some fun >:3
When the chat box calmed down a bit I typed in "Soo....what is best religion?" and awaited the massive flow of ignorance that was about to present itself to me. The Server admin said "No religion, this server is agnostic"
Lol wut?.
I never knew that
A few years ago, I was watching a burial of 6 boys from Massachusetts that were killed during the battle of 1st Manassas. During the funereal, the fifes and drums were playing a funeral march that I loved but couldn't find the music too!
Years later I finally found the tune on a CD I got from one of the many giftshops in Gettysburg, and it's called Rosaline/Rosalind/Roslin Castle (its spelling can differ quite a bit XP).

So, I was going to a gunshop to get some black powder (we're rolling rounds like the devil in preparation for the 150th Gettysburg), we decided to stop by a gun store we don't usually go by for some reason, probably because lots of the stuff we need is at a closer gun shop.
But nonetheless, we entered! And that store had a gold mine of guns!
In the selection, there were three that stood out to me:
A 1916 Spanish Mauser (Bascially a k98)
A m1903 Springfield
And my personal fa
For those of you that don't know, Mount and Blade: Napoleonic Wars is like...the best game ever!
So I was on a random server stabbing people with lances when all of a sudden, people starting talking about bronies (I don't know how the conversation go to that, I simply looked down at the chat box and there they were)
One of them said we like ponies because they have "big strong legs and silky manes" (I doubt he knew about the show) and the other one said the usual balderdash of "bronies
I was bored, so I made this!
#1. When people call German Soldiers that fought in WWII Nazis: Ok...I cannot believe it is so hard to grasp that the Nazi party, and the German war machine are two seperate things. Just because the Nazi party had control of the Army, doesn't automatically make every soldier a Nazi. Many soldiers were forced to fight. Those that did volunteer did it for their country, just like you and I might. Not for Hitler!. Lots of the soldiers hated Hitler, but speaking o
I found a pretty funny song. If you listen to folk, I think you know where they're coming from XD
This song is basically telling the tale of a horrible folk singer XD
