Top Gun

HORRY SHEEEEET!

Ugh, I wouldn't go nearly that far. Death Note was at the very least watchable, but it wasn't remotely the sort of intellectual fare that so many of its fans hold it up to be. All it really did was replace the standard sort of shounen power-up posturing with the equivalent overly-verbose dialogue posturing. I remember that one episode where Light and L were playing tennis against each other, and their inner monologues were literally that meme image of "Now it is I who am behind you!" It was completely insufferable writing. Then there was the fact that the authors disposed of one of the best elements of the story at the halfway point and had absolutely nothing of consequence to replace them with, which just smacks of narrative incompetence. But what frustrates me the most is that the series never made any pretenses at making any sort of judgement, whether positive or negative, on Light's actions. The authors have admitted as much too. If you're going to create a character like Light, at least have the balls to make some sort of statement about him. Let's call a spade a spade: Death Note was a mostly standard shounen with unique window dressing and an insufferable twat of a protagonist that managed to squander the very real potential it had. Now if you want a truly-good cat-and-mouse game that actually dwells on the nature of evil, go watch/read yourself some Monster.

Also "puberty."

Dude, like 300 people watch that stream. Do you think it will have even the remotest effect on the marathon?

Honestly Death Note was pretty terrible taken as a whole, so I can't see how they can make it worse. The Dafoe casting was brilliant.

yeah man basic social standards suck balls don't they

How can you say you love her if you won't eat her poop?!

Eh, I love cranberry ginger ale. Canada Dry did this limited-time blackberry ginger ale a year or two back that was amazing.

I think people just see the splash screen when the server's down and think RAWR CLOUDFLARE without actually realizing they're not the host.

because you touch yourself at night

So basically it's fucking terrible then?

He spams the same bullshit in every thread, much of which involves acting like an ephebophile. That's not being a contrarian, that's being a creepy asshole.

Hell, I imported the Australian DVD release of Sym-bionic Titan, but I don't think even they got all of Megas.

Honest question for Viper though: I think Luuv already posts plenty around here, but just why is it a requirement that he's constantly buddy-buddy all over the place with everyone? Does it make him less of an admin if he's not? I have known multiple site admins over the years who were mostly hands-off with day-to-day interactions, but still did a fine job of hosting a community. That's honestly all I want out of an admin, and anything beyond that as a bonus. Hell, I have pretty fundamental disagreements with Luuv re: moderation philosophy, but I'm still fine with being here.

Still catching up and finding more gems... I feel like most of us would rather communicate via carrier pigeons than join any sort of site founded on this idiocy. Unless we do it to munch popcorn at the inevitable train wreck.

Man you sure are selling your new potential forum by acting like a goddamn psycho.

I'm on summer break, so Monday might as well be any other day of the week. Woo today!

Like Naraku said, it's just impulse. The change in an object's momentum is equal to the force acting on the object multiplied by the length of time it acts. For any given collision, like a person in free-fall coming to a stop or a car crash, the change in momentum is a fixed value: you're going from your current velocity to 0. As a result, lengthening the time over which an impact occurs inversely decreases the force experienced. People's arms have way more give than concrete, so the girl felt far less force and was able to survive. The same principle is what makes a car's airbags effective.

If you mark one or two of them as "not spam," most email clients get the message pretty quickly.

Do none of you live in places with decent local Italian joints? We have one like every few hundred yards it seems like.

Dan and Arin have a good rapport, but the issue is that Dan is way too agreeable with Arin and never calls him out on his terrible opinions about game design. Jon wasn't afraid to call Arin on his bullshit, and honestly I think that made them work much better together. I've been watching a bunch of Jon Grumps recently, and it's just so refreshing.

What else...I got the gnome achievement on Half-Life 2: Episode 2. That has to count for something.

Makes sense.

I'm kind of curious as to why KN built his own server for this place instead of just using a hosting company. We can't possibly generate enough traffic to make it overly expensive, can we?
