Hawk Moth

I feel like I've heard this 100 times in different but similar times. I really hope that this doesn't represent your personal ethos.

Business business business numbers.

I guess I started TF2 again. Does anypony play regularly in a clan? I'm tired of playing solo and losing because of shit teammates. I'm willing to play whatever class is needed.

This is probably my favorite era of rock music. I'm a fan of progressive rock, especially: Yes, King Crimson, Pink Floyd (even though Roger Waters is a megadouche), Electric Light Orchestra. I'm not all that fond of Rush though. They're more classic rock than progressive rock in my opinion - not weird and zany enough to be progressive haha. I remember when Skyrim first came out, I cranked up Close to the Edge, Fragile, and The Yes Album, and they set a great mood for fantasy.

Here we go, here we go! Episode 9 just aired! What did you all think? Personally, I'm glad things calmed down since episode 8 - parts of that one I flat out hated. What are your all's thoughts?

According to the DSM V, Aspergers no longer exists as a separate disorder and is now classified along with full autism. You should do research on autism instead.

Yes, and how! I love video games and loved them ever since I was four. I love science fiction and am currently enjoying "Fringe". I hate sports, exercise, and everything else men are supposed to like. Also 25 and never had a girlfriend. If that doesn't make me a nerd, I don't know what does.

I didn't know that. When did she break her arm? Before the ceremony?

Remember the Soviet/industrialization part of the history show? That part along with the end of the dream show really blew me away. It's too bad about that 5th ring glitch though.

Generally, it's a bad sign when a country has to spend billions to put on a show. It's the same reason the Soviets paraded missiles and thousands of goose stepping soldiers through Red Square during the cold war. The bad guys always have to put on elaborate performances. Also, it's just like Russia to rush the process and screw things up left and right. All that being said though, I absolutely loved the opening ceremony. It's definitely the best I've ever seen. In all, I'm looking forward to the events. More than anything, I want to see the US kick some ass in their ridiculous Christmas sweaters heheh. I watched Miracle again to get myself pumped up too. What did you enjoy more? The abstract "Dream" show or the historical ballet? It's too bad though about that 5th ring that didn't open. Leave it to the internet to overlook all the amazing choreography and focus on that one mistake.

The very idea that Melee tournaments can exist at all is ridiculous. Short hops, wave dashes, chain grabs, knowing how many frames you can shave off. Is this Nintendo or Texas Instruments? Shall we play this game with a controller or a graphing calculator? Of all the gaming competition videos that I have seen, I have never seen any game that people take more seriously than Melee besides Starcraft. The difference is that SC was built as an ivory tower for people to claw each other up to get to the top of. I also never said that I wanted to be as good as my friend without effort, but Melee provides too many tools for try-hards. And guess what? Maybe I don't want to develop peptic ulcers over being the best cartoon warrior. Maybe I want to have fun and not kill myself in an attempt to train muscle memory for making short hops. I've said it about Counterstrike, and it applies to Melee and every other game: When you see everyone take a shot from their sniper rifle then immediately switch weapons and then back to the rifle, it's all over. You're no longer playing game; you're studying and training. And the sad thing is that it happens everywhere in so many different forms. When I first heard about Team Fortress 2 having a legitimate stock market and players devoting god knows how much time to Wall Street-esque economic speculation, I wanted to never stop vomitting. Raw sense of challenge? Drag them down to my level? Here's a question for you that I also can't get my mind around? Why do swathes of gamers always have to pollute every game with cutthroat competition? I can see it with MMO's and squad-based shooters, but the fact that Melee attracts some of the most dedicated players around who practice like they're training for the Olympics, where matches are so fast, they look like blurs - it's too disgusting for me to think about for too long. Super Smash Bros. for the N64 was a fun game. Melee is an occupation.

I love love love the first game, but I think it went downhill from there. Melee was one huge elitist fest which is weird considering how bright, colorful, and friendly the game looks. It would be like going to Disneyland and finding out that everything is a time trial and hardcore amusement park-goers only visit the place after comparing notes and strategies online complete with spreadsheets. The charm and fun of the original was lost on me for Melee when I realized that it required all the multitasking strategy of an MMO along with the twitch reflexes of Counterstrike. Pro-tip: Party games shouldn't require intensive practice, and they definitely shouldn't require study. I liked Brawl a lot more than Melee, but I noted a few major errors. Like Melee, the fast characters were favored by pros, while the slower "heavyweight" characters would get denounced as "casual noob characters". Again, why the hell should there ever be a distinction between pro and dirty, filthy casual in Super Smash Brothers? It boggles my mind. At least the developers killed a lot of the things all the pro, frame-counting dirtbags used in Melee tournaments to make the game what it was supposed to be: fun. Still, it all turns into a speed battle at the end of the day, and characters like Dedede simply don't make sense. He hits like a heavyweight, takes hits like a heavyweight, but moves like a lightweight. Also, his grab and downward throw is infinite against certain characters like: All the characters I like to play. Yahtzee stated it best when he said that practicing the game turns you into "that guy" whom others don't stand a chance against unless they're other "that guys". As good at the original as one of my friends got, I could still almost win against him some times and win at least a few of the times. This is because the N64 lacked the processing power to create a fighting game that could be studied and exploited.

Mine is definitely The Secret of NIMH. I don't know why all Don Bluth movies get crap for not being Disney. With Rockadoodle, I agree that it's too cheesy, but I love NIMH, I like it more than just about every non-Pixar Disney film.

Well look who's here. Me! How 'bout that...

Jennifer Lawrence is ugly, and so is Taylor Swift.

And how! I'd start with all the people who picked on me in middle school. I know who they are too because I marked them in my year book when I was 12 so I'd never forget or forgive. From there I'd take out everyone on death row, Guantanamo Bay, and work my way to the governments of Iran, Saudi Arabia, the leadership of Hamas and Hezbollah, and then I'd just watch the news for murderers.

This is the most important undertaking of our race in many generations. Every democratic nation should be funding the hell out of space exploration and colonization. Who cares about going green and saving the environment? Let the freaking world burn for all I care. There's too much else to explore to worry about this has-been of a planet.
