Do you really have to try to bring an argument to a thread that just wanted one answer, you're just asking for trouble here.

 

I'm not trying to start an argument, I was merely stating facts. I didn't talk about Linux because my knowledge of Linux is basically "It's open source, an ubuntu boot disc is really convinient for reliably backing stuff up between upgrading/switching OS's, and gentoo is a bitch to install."

I have a question though. Doesn't a mac have the ability to become a windows using boot camp? Is there a disadvantage of using this kind of windows?

 

It still has mostly Mac hardware, so you still won't be able to run some windows software.

Windows forever. Nothing a Mac can do that a PC can't do just as well, and usually at a cheaper price. Plenty a PC can do that a Mac can't, however. Viruses aren't an issue as long as you have good AV and aren't an idiot, and you avoid crashing the OS if you know what you're doing. Some games and other programs will crash, but that's generally due to a bug or something, which you just need a patch for.

Macs are overpriced crap. They're marketed for being good for music and video production and stuff, but all that really means is that they come with Garage Band and IMovie, niether of which are exactly top notch software, and both OS's have much better options for stuff like that.

Also, Macs lack of gaming capability isn't just because of compatibility issues. There's plenty of high-end gaming hardware that won't work with fancy Mac hardware. And what there is, well, you price up a gaming-ready PC and a gaming-ready Mac and tell me which you'd rather pay.

Apple has a great marketing team, but that's about it.

I remember you. I don't remember much ABOUT you,, though, other than you're obviously a pretty cool person. Because if you weren't, that would stand out (because this site is full of pretty cool people) and I'd remember you better

I've been wanting a game similar to this for awhile. Although my ideas included things such as a watch that would give basic vital signs (look at your watch to get an idea of your health). Also, instead of a different button for everything, mouse gestures while hiding certain buttons would do different things.

Also, enemies that can hack you watch and other diagnostic stuff to make you think you have more or less health or bullets than you really do.

Oh god, now I want to write a comedic superhero story where the hero can never stop crime on time because he gets stuck in traffic XD

Dr. Breen from Half Life.

The Black Mesa incident was totally his fault, and he has to go blame Gordon for it >_<

Black Sun Empire and Noisestorm are pretty much the only dubstep I've listened to. I'd recommend both, though I prefer BSE.

I think they're both actually Drumstep or whatever it's called, though. I don't know my electronic genres very well :/

Vicke is now quite possibly the most badass member of the forum. Just sayin'.

Anyway, At the beginning of school years, I'd often get bullied a bit. However, my ability to give absolutely no fucks seems to be much greater than most people's because I literally ignored my way out of being bullied every year (well, until sophomore year of high school and we moved to a smallish town with a much better school system and exponentially less dickwads). People would talk shit, and I'd just turn my give-a-fuck-o-meter down to 0 and carry on with whatever I was doing.

Sometimes I'd turn it down into the negatives and start agreeing with the bullies. Laughing with them at myself, cracking jokes, stuff like that. It generally caught them off guard, and they'd stop because they would eventually figure out I was making them look like morons

This is not even close.

Dr. Pepper is the sweet nectar of the Gods. It elevates you to a higher state of existence, where all becomes well. Man walks side-by-side with the power of the universe. Flowers sprout in your footsteps and disease is cured by your breath. The taste is heavenly and can take you to worlds beyond this one. A perfect ratio of 23 flavors, mixed by a master alchemist long ago, his sights set far above a simple method to turn lead into gold; he aimed to create liquid aether. And he succeeded.

Pibb is a pale imitation, a wretched attempt to steal the glory of Dr. Pepper. With the taste of something a middle schooler might come up with while tryin to guess all the ingredients of Dr. Pepper, it sows agony and sorrow wherever it and it's drinkers go. None can feel joy with the taste of oblivion on their tongue, none can be satisfied as they consume a pitiful counterfeit drink, a blasphemous mockery of a truly divine beverage. Spawned in the darkest pit of the underworld, Pibb languishes and awaits a time when it can strike, bringing down Dr. Pepper, replacing truth with deceit, happiness with sorrow, peace with war, and love with hate.

My fellow Dr. Pepper Drinkers, we can not, and will not let this happen! We mustn't become complacent, we must stamp out Pibb wherever it leaves it's foul taste. It must be crushed under the weight of justice, morality, and all that is holy. Do not hesitate, show no mercy.

I'm sorry, Zoop, but I shall have to kill you now.

Umm... Yeah... Anyway... I think Dr. Pepper is better :/

Oh man, this takes me back.

I never had some lame wooden playground, we had metal, muthafuckaz. Well, after a few years, they made this huge new play structure that was mostly plastic, but it wasn't one of those safe ones, it was just (presumably) cheaper to make it out of plastic. Anyway, it was the shit. This one structure had like 3 floors, 4 slides, two sets of monkey bars, a tic-tac-toe wall, a big plastic globe you could sit on while somebody spun you around, a few sliding bars, rope climbing walls, it was pretty much the greatest play structure I've ever seen that wasn't a tourist attraction in some secluded park. You know, those play structures that are more like huge wooden castles in the middle of state parks. The ones that you stop for on a road trip because they're so damn awesome.

Anyway, that was only until 2nd grade, then I got transferred to this other school because it was the only one in the district with an EXCEL program. My best friend had also tested into EXCEL, so we got to stay in the same class all through elementary school

That school was a bit poorer, and more money went to education, so the playground wasn't as awesome. But it was still fun. There were also more nerds there, so pokemon battles, both imaginary and real (using gameboys smuggled in coat pockets, cuz that shit was banned) were much more common. I remember the ripple that went through the student base when G/S came out. Same when the GBA came out. Or when the Pegasus Structure Deck came out and had toon world, toon monsters, and Relinquished, all in the same box.

Seriously, you've never seen a real nerdgasm unless you've seen elementary school kids react to a new pokemon game in the height of pokemon popularity, when literally EVERYBODY played it. Even if you had stupid, overly protective parents who didn't let you have video games till middle school, you still ended up knowing almost as much about it as everybody else.

I created your parents in a government lab while experimenting with chemicals and organisms you're not allowed to know exist.

Pretty much everything except modern pop and modern country. Older stuff from both genres isn't as bad, I'll listen to it, but it's not that great.

As anybody who's talked music with me will already know, my favorite genre is by far progressive metal

It's true that, compared to other sites, we don't have much drama, but remember; we still have a fairly small active user base, so we won't have as much drama anyway. And also, for awhile after this sites beginning, we had little to no drama at all, so even this is a pretty big step up from that.

In any case, I do prefer it when people, especially those I know, make threads explaining why they leave, simply because I'm curious, and just in case I had something to with it, I'd like to know.

There's an IPS app, but from what I've been told, it's basically the same as the mobile site, so I've never bothered.

I am not okay with this.

Chill is my middle name. Most of my friends will agree that I am one of the most relaxed people they know.

My real middle name is Burnett, which means "high quality wool cloth dyed brown". Fuck yeah.

I've seen you around, as both usernames. You seem like a pretty cool. I thought the birthday gift advice thread was kinda funny. I've never understood why people feel guilty about being well to do. Nobody worth knowing will think less of you just because you have money. Unless you're a dick about it, of course, but you clearly aren't

Goddammit, this is too hard >_<

Okay, I'll try my best. I too must limit myself to one song per artist.

Not really in order:

1. The Truth is in Here - Ayreon

2. In the Name of God - Dream Theater

3. Divine Wings of Tragedy - Symphony X

4. The Lotus Eater - Opeth

5. Mystery - Shadow Gallery, or perhaps Andromeda Strain, also by Shadow Gallery. Or maybe Another Me, by Epica. Or... Sorry, I just can't decide

Also, lol it's all progressive metal XD

I hate it when people selling games at flea markets actually know what they're worth

I also hate it when PSN comes along and releases a ton of stuff online, slashing the prices of my hard copies I am not okay with my near mint copy of Persona 3 FES not being worth at least $40 anymore. Not that I'd ever sell it, of course

*listens to everything in thread*

*adds all to "to get" list*

I really need to explore the various electronic genres more

I felt actual, legitimate sadness and nearly cried when I beat Golden Sun: The Lost Age because there was no more Golden Sun to play.

Then when GS3 was announced ~7 years later, I literally jumped a good 3 feet out of my chair and then ran around the house, screaming triumphantly.

I've had many a fantasy of myself with various female characters from the series. I've written two guides about the games despite the fact that they were totally unneeded, and spent years posting on forums about them.

I consider myself a Golden Sun fanboy

I write code in text messages on my phone, email them to myself, then copy/paste them directly into a custom compiler I wrote in binary a few years ago.Get on my level.

Music gives me more memories than smells do. I do have some memories associated with a few kinds of sunscreen, mostly bad memories revolving around 2 particular summers when I did nothing but help my dad build a house, 10-14 hours a day, 7 days a week, all summer, for 2 years. All breaks as well, including Christmas break and the 2 feet of snow we had. Maybe one day off a month.

Fucking sucked.

Unfortunately, most of the memories brought back by music are bad, too. A particular girl I was once involved with loved Steal this Album, by System of a Down, which happened to be a favorite of mine at the time as well. Sadly, things went quite poorly between us, and now I can't listen to that album without getting depressed. In fact, the only SOAD albums I can listen to anymore are Toxicity and the self titled, because I listened to Mezmerize and Hypnotize a lot while building the aforementioned house.

I can't listen to Basshunter anymore. This one girl I actually did love broke my heart, and I was depressed for several months. I tried to listen to happy music, and Basshunter was the happiest stuff I had. It sort of worked, except that once we made up, I found that Basshunter conjured up horrible memories.

A few Into Eternity, Green Day, and My Chemical Romance albums also make me unhappy for various reasons, but I don't really care because they all suck

Spider with guns, on the PS1??

Sweet fucking Jesus I need this game.

Seriously, next time I'm out, I'm hitting the local game store to see if they have this.

It won't make the problems worse, exactly. What I mean, is that with an actual penalty, it becomes a real problem if a rules is vague and open to individual interpretation.
