Do you have any crazy roommate stories?
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in General Chat
I would have killed them too, but there were witnesses. Enough that I would never get out. But I'm still haunting them to this day. I do things that they know is me, but leave them no way to prove it. -
Valid point, but they're trying to follow in the footsteps of the Simpsons and stick around 20 years past when they should have ended. It's why Trey Parker and Matt Stone stopped killing Kenny in every episode. They thought the bit had gotten stale and just wasn't funny anymore. I thought it was funny and entertaining to try to figure out how he was going to die "this time", but I agree with them. A bit is only funny for so long. It's also why Stewie isn't as evil as he was in the early seasons of Family Guy. Seth MacFarlane thought that was getting old. Not much has changed on American Dad. So at least that one is following its original formula, for the most part. A lot of people refer to Roger as a "gay alien", but being that he's not even human, I don't see how he could fit into being either "gay" or "straight". All I know, is Roger likes men. They're good shows, but they need to know when it's time to retire and move on. The Simpsons, however, is not a good show anymore. In the beginning it was great. 30+ years later, they only shoot themselves in the foot with every episode they make. Everyone I know who formerly liked the show, quit watching it at least 15 years ago. Granted characters that were complete idiots is a time tested formula for a cartoon and sitcom. But when the show itself is just stupid then there's a problem. I won't watch it if the episode came out after the tenth season. They became desperate for plot lines after that. How they've managed to keep going is beyond me. I mean honestly, is there anything they haven't fucking done?

Would you rather only eat raw food or only eat TV dinners?
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in General Chat
I love raw food if we're talking about fruits and vegetables. Meat and grain products on the other hand have to be cooked. Raw bread and sausage are not exactly something I'll be running to the table for. I get sushi every time I go to a Japanese restaurant. I love shrimp, no matter how it's served. Salmon rolls aren't bad, if you like salmon. One thing to stay away from is urchin. I tried it out of curiosity, and it's like eating sandy snot. I ended up puking. But there's lots on a sushi menu that are really good. -
That's the part you pay for. It tends to run 50k-100k depending on the identity being stolen. The more powerful and famous/infamous the identity, the more it costs. I've known people who have intentionally ruined their credit rating to try to protect themselves from identity theft. Not a smart way to go about it, but fairly effective nonetheless. Not the way I would do it, but when you have little to no option, it could work.

Despite being on the surface web, that looks like some of the stuff I commonly see on the dark web.

I'm so glad they made this video. This is one of the best videos about us that I personally have ever seen.

Video games that feature realistic NPC reactions?
The Blackangel replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
RDR2 definitely. The members in camp, and every NPC to be fair acts like any human being of the time. And like a lot of them today. The game is so immersive, and the characters so life like in every way, that you forget you're playing a game after a while. -
Illogical in-game situations that make you laugh?
The Blackangel replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
Not even when you hear an argument off camera and then see someone fly all the way across town level with the rooftops? Or when a character in your camp starts playing air banjo and actually produces music? -
There's a part in RDR2 that I won't get into as it's a MAJOR spoiler, but it was heart wrenching. And the fact that that's coming from me, it should really tell you something.

I grew up in the 80's and still remember Atari 2600 being the cutting edge of home technology. I remember microwaves and VCR's being something that only the lucky and the rich could afford to buy. I remember cassettes being played on a Walkman. I remember the video game crash of the early 80's. And I remember the explosion of the mid 80's when the NES hit the western market and saved the entire video game industry. Everyone wanted one. I had a Colecovision and didn't appreciate it at the time. How foolish I was. But the NES brought video games to a new height, that no one ever would have thought possible if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes. We went from 2 bit graphics, straight into 8 bit graphics. We also went straight into some of the absolute best games ever released. It's part of the reason I'm a classic gamer, but won't go anywhere near any of the flashback bullshit or emulators, as I feel like a traitor and literally sick to my stomach at the though of using either. I'm not coming down on anyone who prefers either. To each their own. 4) The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own. But I personally can't use either. I use the original systems designed by said company (Nintendo, Atari, Sega, etc.) and the original cartridges. Sure performing brain surgery on a 35 year old NES can get tedious every time you want to play a game, but it's worth it to me.

I use a TV as a monitor anyway, so this wouldn't be a problem for me.

A valid point, as more then 2/3 of the earth is covered by water, and the oceans are so vast and wide that the chances of being found out alone are a hairs breath away from absolute zero. Whereas on land, it's typically a trait of people to tell someone where they're going, and when they think they will be back. In the event of a mountain climber, they usually lay out the path they want to take, and leave it with someone. Unless they're climbing Everest, they are usually found and brought down. With Everest though, they just leave the bodies up there. It's too dangerous for those alive up there to try to bring the bodies down. It's why a lot of mountain climbers refer to Everest as "The Tomb".

Possibly the funniest damn video on all of YouTube
The Blackangel replied to The Blackangel's topic in General Chat
I know, but the video is still funny as hell. -
You are given a choice between two rewards. The first reward is to be twice as intelligent as you are right now - you will be able to read twice as fast and remember twice as much, the size of your vocabulary will double, and you'll be able to solve intellectual problems with twice your current aptitude. The second reward is that you will never again feel sick (even when you are) and you can always be whatever weight you want, regardless of what you eat or how little you exercise - you can simply imagine the body you would like to have and that is the weight you will magically become. Which reward to you choose?

Defying all expectations, a group of Scottish marine biologists capture a live Loch Ness Monster. In an almost unbelievable coincidence, a bear hunter in the Pacific Northwest shoots a Sasquatch in the thigh, thereby allowing zoologists to take the furry monster into captivity. These events happen on the same afternoon. That evening, the President announces that he may have thyroid cancer and will undergo a biopsy later that week. You are the front page editor of the New York Times. What do you run as the biggest story?

What are some atmospheric games that are not well-known?
The Blackangel replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
Most first person horror games are dripping with ambiance. Ascendance is another game. I have one that I downloaded recently, but off the top of my head I can't remember what it was, so I'll have to look through my games to find the title. But I know it was definitely a game that could fit in here. -
How long are you willing to wait for a game to go on sale?
The Blackangel replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
Considering the amount of games I have, I'm in no rush for any.
