Ham and Pineapple for me.

I've tried ham and pineapple, it's not bad - although the savoury taste of the cheese and the sweet taste of the pineapple make for an unusual combination.

Old-school pepperoni and sausage.

...Damn it, now I'm hungry.

Something with bits of chicken, peppers, and ideally sweetcorn for me. Ham and pineapple is good also.

That said, I can quite understand why people don't like pineapple or sweetcorn on pizza.

I don't like sweetcorn period, but I suspect that's just me.

Me neither. It bugs me when they put it in with tuna sandwiches - cucumber is much better.

I think sweetcorn looks like legless yellow ticks.

Has anyone used Reason, the music program?

Well now that you mention it, I guess they do.

Well, I like apples and bananas, and I'm just about getting the hang of tomato.

Me neither. It bugs me when they put it in with tuna sandwiches - cucumber is much better.
Personally I prefer them without the tuna.

You really haven't lived until you have had steak and bacon on your pizza. That is intense. But normally I am a pepperoni and cheese man.

Pepperoni is massively overrated. I'd much prefer recognisable meat.

I actualy like pineapple on my pizza and I don't care who knows it.

That sounds awful to me, to be honest.:p I'm not a big bacon fan at all, and I'm just having a hard time imagining steak on pizza. Didn't like it in chili, either.

I just like pepperoni.
I'm boring.
Though to be honest, all I ate was cheese a few years back.

I like cheese. And meats. Bacon is good; never had steak on pizza though.

Pineapple can be good too. But I'm definately NOT a fan of olives or mushrooms...

YOU MUST LEAVE OD

I'm on my dad's computer here. He just got a beautiful flatscreen monitor, and he has it set to a massive resolution. It's just tremendous. I hardly know what to do with all the space. :p I should play Nethack. I could get the entire floor on one screen. That would be surreal.

Coincidentally I recently got a huge LCD, too. It's a Samsung SM244T.

I'm starting to think that my mental health is not stable enough to allow me to play Soul Calibur 3. :p...

Then you should play as Voldo, you nutter.

That might make him more unstable.

That might make him more unstable.
Not to mention emotionally scarring him for life...

Sieg for the win! :D

I'm used to Voldo.

I never use him, though, excepting when I get his discipline as Olcadan. I always manage to *** hell with him even though I barely know him. :p

Maxi, Mitsurugi and maybe Yoshimitsu and Kilik/Mina are my best characters. I also enjoy playing as Nightmare or Raphael, but I'd hesitate to call them my best characters. Contrary to popular belief, I thought Raph was MUCH better in SC2. He has some nice moves in 3, but I find him overall harder to use.

Edit: Voldo isn't a bad guy, either. He's just a really creepy guy who wants to make his dead master happy, that's all.

I once managed to get lucky at Soul Calibre 2 and win several games on the trot by picking the Mystery Dude and button bashing. It was bloody hilarious.

My best character is Kilik.
And I usually don't use his cheap moves, either. But I do use that move that hits the computer every time if the enemy is particularly strong.

I once managed to get lucky at Soul Calibre 2 and win several games on the trot by picking the Mystery Dude and button bashing. It was bloody hilarious.
Charade kicked ass. I miss him. :p

Yeah...
But at least they added Zasalamel. He's rather badass. (Though he gets annoying when you have to fight him in that damn clocktower every single storyline. :p )

Yes, I was pleased with Zasalamel as well. I can take or leave Tira (although she does sometimes really annoy me), and I hate the living snot out of Setsuka, but Zasalamel is quite cool, and good for power trips when you're feeling evil.

I was also happy to see that Kilik got a good treatment this time. I never liked him at all in SC2, in terms of character. Everything about him suggested "inbred" to me. He's quite cool now. Definitely gets the Zeor Stamp of Approval.

Also, another Zeor Stamp of Approval has been removed from Talim and given to Yun-Seong. I never use him, but I gotta admit that I think he's kinda cool.

Edit: While we're talking about SC3: http://s14.invisionfree.com/SC3_CaS_Forum/index.php?showtopic=309

I do have a couple/few more, but these are the most interesting.

That move of Kilik's when he brings his staff down vertically twice and the bad guy never blocks on the second fall?

Is Cervantes in SC3? I thought he was great.

OK, here's the plan: If I'm on this forum from around 2PM-3PM BST then tell me to bugger off and buy Oblivion. I keep forgetting.

Yeah, Cervantes is still in SC3.
And I think Kilik has a couple moves that always hit. His Back+A+B was the one I'm thinking about, I think.

That was far too short.
But sweet.

I think every character has at least one move that always cheaps out the AI. Kilik's 4A+B is good, and his 6A+B tends to connect with the last poke, although it's not terribly effective.

Am I the only one who noticed that this experiment has too small of a sample and no control?

Out of all the bull, I'm more wondering what marijuana has to do with violent games.

100 people. No females. They were required to play either one game or the other (nobody just didn't play). The only ages were 18-21.

This is one of the worst academic "studies" I have ever seen.

I liked "For those who have been exposed to violence... the game may have seemed more real". What, more real than The Simpsons Hit And Run? Are you serious? Dear Lord...

The teacher then asks to see "Billy" after class. The study participants were told to imagine themselves as Billy, and asked how likely it was that the teacher was going to accuse them of cheating.
WHAT? Why would anyone think that they WEREN'T accused of cheating if the teacher wanted to see them after class?
I've never had a teacher make me stay after class to say that they're proud of me.

Well, that's one of the worst studies of anything that I've seen in recent memory. But I suppose that it's a good thing. God forbid the over-protective mothers get their hands on a CREDIBLE study... :p

Well, that's one of the worst studies of anything that I've seen in recent memory.

It doesn't matter whether or not the study is good or not. It is a piece of evidence, unsupported as it may be. Many people need a reason to bash video games further, and this is really the evidence that they are looking for. It is a study, shoddily done and practically worthless, but it is evidence. Even the Overprotective Parents who weren't anti-videogame before can be persueded by such studies.

I imagine that if a study were made where they interviewed 5 people from prison, and tried to find _any_ common link, select people would believe it. Like, if all the people happened to have posters in their rooms, I bet a few Soccer Moms would be ripping down a few posters and forwarding a few articles.

It's things like that that make me realize that the internet wasn't a complete mistake.

Garry’s Mod, the Source-powered physics sandbox famed across the games industry, is to be sold over Steam for $10 US, with profits split 50/50 between Garry and his team of contributors and Valve. What is currently known as version 9.1 will lose its number and become the initial paid release, while the current version (9.04) will remain as a free demo. The sanctioned selling of full, third-party mods is new territory for the games industry, and with no sign of Black Cat’s Alien Swarm: Infested it seems that Garry’s Mod will be the first to cross the line.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... oh well.

What may not be mentioned there is that Garry was actually losing interest in GMod entirely, and was about ready to give up on the whole thing after this final release. Now that he's actually going to be paid for it, things are different.

Now, while I am pretty ****ed off at not being able to pay for it because of lack of a credit card, I'm quite happy that he's finally going to make some profit off of it. He freaking deserves it. :p

Well, it depends. You can get both wine and beer in quite a range of different forms, from strong stuff that hurts to stuff you'd swear had no alcohol in at all.

I think very few people like either on their first try.

Then why keep going? Is it something like coffee, where you just get used to it after a while?

The only alcohol I've had I actually tried and wanted more of was a bit of Mike's Hard Lemonade. Most of those pre-blended cocktail drinks in bottles are decent too. However, I think that champagne tastes rather like dish soap, and beer and wine are worse yet.

By the way, MFAH, if you need to buy something online (Garry's Mod), pre-paid Visa giftcards are your friend. How'd you manage an SA account without a credit card?

Then why keep going?
Personally, first time I tried beer I'd ordered a pint and I was damned if I wasn't going to finish it. Halfway through the pint I decided I liked it.

Peer pressure is a large part of it, I think. That and almost all alcoholic drinks have something of a kick to them, so you may as well get used to it.

It's clearly a fake. Crystal Sky Pictures doesn't list it on their website (http://www.crystal-sky.com/films.htm), and I'm pretty sure that naked waterfall action is a bit too extreme for the MPAA to allow in movie trailers.

Then again, it is on IMDb (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0758763/)... What the heck?

Never mind, it is on Crystal Sky's site, under a different label: Renegade Films (http://www.crystal-sky.com/renegadefilms.htm). And Jon Voight has mentioned it in multiple interviews as well.

I don't have much of a taste for alcohol either. I've tried red wine, white wine, even drank a whole bottle of beer, and they're all disgusting.

Well, that was probably a bottle of Carlsberg, though, wasn't it?

I remeber when Morrisons got in a load of obscure ales -- Badgers, mostly -- and we just spent days doing very little but drinking them, because they were sodding gorgeous. Including those of us who never normally drink beer.

There was even a banana bread flavoured one in there.

Well, that was probably a bottle of Carlsberg, though, wasn't it?Sagres, actually. Popular portuguese beer: http://www.thebackpacker.net/worldbeers/sagres_1611_worldbeers.htm

Do you use the iFox theme for Firefox? The bar on the right looks very similar to mine.

A question for Invader Zim fans:

Although I have never watched the show, I have deduced from fanart that it features a robot called Gir.

However, from same fanart I have also deduced that it features a small green puppy, also called Gir.

This puzzles me.

Please advise.

GIR is a robot, and he uses a doggy costume as camouflage when going outside (to go undetected by humans).
Edit: Don't know if camouflage is the right word there :p

Disguise would be a better word to use.

And probably the main reason I would've gotten firefox was for the tabbed browsing, but Safari has that, and that's enough for me.

It's kinda like Firefox for the Mac, but it boasts better integration with the OS than Firefox. The lack of extensions is unfortunate, but it just feels like a Mac browser, unlike Firefox, which is rather unwieldy. It's a lot snappier too.

Anyone know of a hard disk cooling utility? Everytime I do something CPU-intensive, like playing a game or zipping something huge, it overheats, causes a blue screen and messes stuff up. Buying more fans or a disk cooler isn't an option.
For example, last night it damaged my disk when this happened. Though it damaged it to a point that Windows couldn't start to run CHKDSK so I had to run it from a Windows installation CD, which took all night to fix the damage.

Nothing I know of. I don't think you can get anything that reduces spindle speed. Problem is if you slow down data transfer it'll just make it last longer. A hard disk enclosure or cooler is the best bet. Or you could unmount the hard disk and run it outside of the machine.

Nope, no weird noises. Unless you count the "halting sound" a weird sound. It only halts for a few seconds due to the heat, but sometimes it does this a lot of times in a row (eg. Summer) so the computer is either unusable or it leads to a blue screen since Windows can't get a response from the hard disk. A little trick of mine is to unplug and plug it back when it does that (I keep the case open), it kinda "refreshes" it. Though only temporarily.

(EDIT: Bah, it got modded. It originally was some random person saying "Death to America". As this was on a cricket board, I'm making the obvious joke)

My cats sometinmes make noises like that when they're watching birds through the window.

My brother came back from uni for Easter. He's now discovered mobile phones, the internet and alcohol. Now he talks like a 12 year old AOLer. Someone emailed him through bebo or something and he replied something along the lines of "HU R U??????????????????"

Mouse batteries have run out:(

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: this is a perfect example of why I never had any interest in post-secondary education. :p

Weird Al has a few good ones. "One More Minute" is great. "I'm So Sick of You" is also good.

I think Tom Lehrer did, too.

Nah - this way allows for the small amount of on-topic chat that happens :)

But that creates a paradox. On-topic chat in a thread whose theme is being off-topic is by definition off-topic, which makes it on-topic. That said, off-topic chat is on-topic and therefore spam. AAARGH!

Bravo, Andrew :)

I believe that paradox has been discussed before.

Easier to spot, yeah.

This is from the obnoxious comic After Eden. The one on the left is Mr. Corley from Full Throttle, and the one on the right is Guybrush Threepwood from Monkey Island. Am I right?

You're right!

What's guybrush doing preaching creationist claptrap when he should be staring in monkey island 5?

After LucasArts died with the cancellation of Freelance Police, Guybrush fell on hard times. He took up a job with Answers in Genesis in the meantime. Hopefully, LucasArts will get him out of this predicament within a reasonable timeframe.

Speaking of Guybrush, anyone seen the poll on the LucasArts (http://www.lucasarts.com/) homepage?

That poll actually makes me really angry.

"LOL! INDIANA JONES + MONKEY ISLAND = LAEEEEEEM!"

You know, I found Indiana Jones: The Fate of Atlantis better than the Monkey Island series.
They're all good, but I like Indy the most.

It's a shame your thread in fan-art was closed, Star Worms. At least Cisken1 and Cyclaws and the gang got to feel good about themselves ripping apart a senior and all that.

All of this bad art is getting beyond a joke. How's about doing some really good art and wowing the fanart forum, but maybe make the thread title out to be like you're acting like a moron again?

Or act like a noobiedoobie with all of the bad spelling/grammer and stuff, but draw some CRAZY GOOD ART.
I suppose people don't like to do that because drawing good art is more difficult. :p

Plus that'd just make people ask for more. Though it would be fun to see how much grocious writing they could take. Maybe say you'll only make ONE piece of art and see if they beg for more. :p

Yes, the post-really-bad-art thing is getting really stale.

To each his own. I still think CMI is one of the best games I have ever played.

Well, that might just be because I never played CMI.
I didn't know that the third one used the SCUMM engine.
Is there any way I could possibly get my hands on that anymore?

There's torrents. It's a 1GB file though, so it's not like I could just e-mail it to you.

Hooray for torrents.
Oh wait... this forum doesn't like people to talk about that kind of stuff, does it?
Umm... hooray for torrents.
I'm talking about the fast moving streams of water, of course.

Wah. They should make that video game, so I can buy it :x

On other news, my phone line seems to be crossed with a Domino's pizza line. So we keep getting calls of people trying to order pizza. :p
Edit: I have just discovered that whoever answers the call first gets it. That means, if I they answer it before I do, they get the call and I get nothing, but if I answer it first, I get the call and they get nothing. If I had a pizza shop I could be stealing their customers!
Mwahahaa. >: ) :p

That is true, but I will add a disclaimer that it contains about every form of adult content imaginable.

Well, no swearing, I guess.

Does not. It's just mildly disturbing, is all.

The naked prgnant ladies that spew newborn babys from their stomachs beg to differ.

I'd appreciate people's thoughts on this quandary:

Now I can't say for certain, but I think some people at least would like to see my cartoons available as prints. There's one dirty great snag, of course, and that is that the source files (in the case of most of them, the same thing as the final image ) simply aren't at a high enough resolution for dA to accept them.

However, I could get around this problem by creating a "compilation" deviation, which would be of a large enough resolution to have a print accepted. As an example, I could make a compilation of my four Lemmings deviations. I'm still pushing it a bit (it's quite likely that the text would be rather small), but I should be able to work something out. How would you guys feel about this?

Of course, there's still another minefield: that of copyright. Unless I sold them at cost, it would suddenly be a "profit"-making venture, and I don't know if Team 17 would give me permission to do that as they have when I've done stuff without any thought of profit. I certainly don't know if Sony would in the case of Lemmings. I suppose one could argue that it's parody and therefore fair use, but I'm no expert on copyright law and I'd obviously like to err on the side of caution. Thoughts?

http://paulpower.deviantart.com/journal/8659594/

I'm pretty sure you can only claim "parody" for fair use when you're not making a profit off of it.

In addition, http://forum.deviantart.com/prints/general/626765/

Hmm.

I suppose if all else fails I could sell at base cost and therefore not make a profit...

Why is that even the average webcomicer at his first attempt at drawing worms still does a much better job than the average fanartist?

http://www.duelinganalogs.com/?date=2006-05-03Probably because a true artist (if the phrase has any meaning) can adapt their skills and style to different subject matter.

Yeah, you're right. I wonder which part would be better for the kids -- the smashing babys' skulls into pulp with a baseball bat, or the giant beast with the naked ladies in its tentacles that vomit giant maggots? Edit: And hell, I managed to forget about that monster's other noteworthy trait, and I don't even think I'll say it here for those who opt not to watch the video.

I would also have mentioned the naked midwives with the babies exploding out of them, but Philby beat me to that.

Perhaps the eruption of gore from its head and every other orafice when you beat it, I'm not sure. For those of us hardened by years of use of the internet (and Metal Slug, and 4chan), it's not too horrible. It'd be a lot worse in colour.

Here's a good topic derail: I just found out, via some Polish guy in my mom's dance class, that my last name (Jasinski) apparently translates roughly to "son of John" in Polish. :p

Yes. Those are mouths.

I could have told you that.:p Do you know you're polish? Because that could also mean the same in Russian, and probably many other Slavic languages.

-in and -ov both mean "son" ('-ин' and '-ов' in the Russian alphabet [which Polish doesn't use])
-ski simply turns it into an adjective - it doesn't change the meaning. ('-ский' again in Russian)


My last name, Kentosh, is from Czech "Kentoš" which means "son of Kent". (š is pronounced "sh" in Czech)

Once again, I am beaten to what I was going to say.

I don't know exactly how far back my family tree goes, but I'm unaware of having any Polish or Russian roots.

It goes all the way back. Your family didn't just spontaneously appear one day out of thin air.

So... instead of actually getting technical about a problem, they explain it in really ridiculous silly terms. I'm sorry, but either Microsoft has a very very dim view of MSN users, or they just have really weird staff.

Ha, ha, ha, what the bloody hell? What a way to make yourself look stupid in front of thousands of people. Mind, if many people actually bothered reading such ****.
