  1. Hi Athrun
  2. HORRRRY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIT
  3. I downloaded it, I'll reupload later on. Uploading now, it'll be awhile. ****, it got taken down almost instantly.
  4. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFuUdMsPsK0& I encountered a weird stop when they're fighting a troll, I just skipped to 27:55 and it was fixed, you don't miss anything. But sound is quite a few seconds off, so it's a bit annoying.
  5. I think you're confusing China with Japan.
  6. If Ray Kurzweil is right about the time of we'll have way better than that.

  8. More than 7,000 fishing boats have been called back to harbour, as winds reached 162km/h (100mph), generating waves of 36ft (11m) out at sea. Air travel faces disruption and coastal areas are preparing for evacuations. China Southern Airlines has cancelled more than 140 flights to eastern China from Saturday afternoon while Shanghai-based China Eastern Airlines warned of a "severe impact" on services, reported AFP news agency. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-14420501
  9. http://media1.gameinformer.com/imagefeed/featured/mojang/scrolls/scrolls610.jpg In an incredibly sound strategic move, Bethesda has apparently told Mojang Specifications, the studio behind Minecraft, that its upcoming RPG Scrolls infringes on the company's trademark. http://i984.photobucket.com/albums/ae329/SlidellofOlde/Notchtwitter.jpg?t=1312579789 The original tweet. Notch's side, taken from his blog. A lot of people want more details about what is going on, so here is everything I know: First of all, I love Bethesda. I assume this nonsense is partly just their lawyers being lawyers, and a result of trademark law being the way it is. About half a year ago, our lawyers recommended us to register “Minecraft†as a trademark, so we did. I had voted against it initially, but we did it anyway. Better safe than sorry, and all that. At the same time, we also applied for “Scrollsâ€, the new game we’re working on. We knew of no similarly named games, and we had even googled it to make sure. I’m not even sure if you CAN trademark individual words, like “Scrollsâ€, but we sent in the application anyway. (Disclosure: We’ve enforced the trademark for Minecraft once, when there was a minecraft clone on iOS, using our name. People were emailing me saying our iOS version was buggy and bad, so we asked them to change the name of their game, and they did.) http://s3.amazonaws.com/twitpic/photos/large/365052838.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJF3XCCKACR3QDMOA&Expires=1312581125&Signature=aZ65LFPKWIkQLJ8IeyYCTaSIciI%3D A picture taken by the actual Notch, on his actual phone/camera and posted on his actual twitter. The actual source. A while later, out of the blue, we got contacted by Bethesda’s lawyers. They wanted to know more about the “Scrolls†trademark we were applying for, and claimed it conflicted with their existing trademark “The Elder Scrollsâ€. I agree that the word “Scrolls†is part of that trademark, but as a gamer, I have never ever considered that series of (very good) role playing games to be about scrolls in any way, nor was that ever the focal point of neither their marketing nor the public image. The implication that you could own the right to all individual words within a trademark is also a bit scary. We looked things up and realized they didn’t have much of a case, but we still took it seriously. Nothing about Scrolls is meant to in any way derive from or allude to their games. We suggested a compromise where we’d agree to never put any words in front of “Scrollsâ€, and instead call sequels and other things something along the lines of “Scrolls - The Banana Expansionâ€. I’m not sure if they ever got back to us with a reply to this. Today, I got a 15 page letter from some Swedish lawyer firm, saying they demand us to stop using the name Scrolls, that they will sue us (and have already paid the fee to the Swedish court), and that they demand a pile of money up front before the legal process has even started. I assume this is all some more or less automated response to us applying for the trademark. I sincerely hope Bethesda isn’t pulling a Tim Langdell. http://notch.tumblr....-the-full-story Bethesda has yet to comment.
  10. http://static02.mediaite.com/geekosystem/uploads/2011/08/dbp21-e1312555846370.jpg Supposedly, there was a rumor floating around that somewhere in China, pills made out of dead babies were being sold. A Korean television documentary team decided to track down the truth behind this rumor, and reportedly found a hospital that sells dead babies — mostly abortions or stillbirths, with “mostly†being a scary word here when you think about it — to medicine companies. The team found that when the hospital has a “deceased baby case,†the staff are instructed to immediately alert the medicine company. The television team also reportedly uncovered the process by which the dead baby pills are made. Supposedly, the medicine companies store the dead babies in a “normal family’s refrigerator,†so as to be undiscoverable, and when they are ready to use the dead baby, they put it into a medical drying microwave. Once dry, they grind the dead baby up and put the powder into a pill capsule. http://static02.mediaite.com/geekosystem/uploads/2011/08/dbp1-e1312556090382.jpg Supposedly, the television team paid a lot of money to get some of the pills, and when they tested them, found the pills’ contents were 99.7 percent human, and were also able to discern the babies’ gender from the powder, as well as found hair and nail remnants. The dead babies used are supposedly used with the mother’s consent. The documentary will air August 6 on SBS TV South Korea. http://www.geekosystem.com/china-dead-baby-pills/ http://i984.photobucket.com/albums/ae329/SlidellofOlde/1308330897996.png This sounds to insane (even for the insane stuff I post) to be legit. We'll see come August 6th.

  18. He meant come on man. He typed it so it would be pronounced main.
  19. Merica' that's why! Wait a second...
  20. Nope.
  21. Still isn't what I was referring to. This is the most misinterpreted thread I've posted. It wasn't a question, it was a statement, the song I post is you're new favorite.
  22. http://i984.photobucket.com/albums/ae329/SlidellofOlde/1311753700980.jpg How much would it cost for you to run through this naked?
  23. That's, inventive.
  24. Then they'd be fighting forever because neither could die.
