Tales of Yendor (a.k.a. Yendorian Tales)
BTGBullseye replied to Woah_G!'s topic in Obscure PC Games:
It's basically an old ripoff of the "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons" series of games... List here... I had this game illegally back shortly after it came out (my brother shoplifted it) and noticed the similarities immediately. -
That is most likely, true.

Evolution vs. Creation being taught in schools
BTGBullseye replied to BTGBullseye's topic in Serious Topic Discussion
Firstly I'd like to say that out of the two points you made there, the second point is a fully credible criticism that if stated must be applied to every participant argument because "Travesties and grotesquely inhumane acts in the name of [insert thing here]" are not exclusive to any religion or irreligion. You say Crusades, I say Holocaust. You say the Witch Hunts, I say the Khmer Rouge rule of Cambodia. It doesn't really do anything apart from mudslinging based upon the collective histories of extremists or those that famously misinterpreted their doctrines. (Blame and cause are contextual, so lets not get into those details.) But the first point you made is either based on or strongly reflective of one of Neitszche's criticism that Religion exists simply as a method of accruing power and prestige over others. I can't remember the exact name for it, but one of the philosphies championed by Nietzsche was the idea that in a sense, "All truth claims could not be trusted." One would say "Everyone should believe in social justice" for example, and Nietzsche would squint his eyes and say "Hm. Do you honestly believe in the good of Social Justice and that everyone aught to practice it, or are you simply wanting to start a revolution with yourself as the Leader?". So obviously such an approach to Religion would result in his immediate distrust of all aspects of it, in a manner of speaking. This criticism is also very credible, which pointed out on a major problem and possibly endemic fault that could then be detected and corrected, once Nietzsche had given it a name (which again, I forget). Within Christianity, the use of spreading the Gospel for gain of anything but the Kingdom of God (anything that is not the Kingdom of God includes Church organizations, Denominations, Companies or Individuals) is termed spreading the Gospel "For your own Glory". It can be a very problematic foible since pride in success can blind oneself to their lack of humbleness, and who they are serving. Christianity is to be serving Jesus, not the individual. But Nietzsche's truth claim in of itself is also self-canceling, since "All truth claims can not be trusted." is also a truth claim, which therefore can't be trusted. Unless one notices that, it's a perfect little pin for popping everyone else's balloon. *e-hug* -

He was Data Processing in the Navy. Most of the computer programs that he wrote for the Supply guys became national standards.

That made me LOL... Not bad... The movement of the guy is a bit stiff, and the music a tad loud... (not bad = quite good)

Hey, I never stopped... And in all likelihood I never will, so long as I'm still on these forums. That being said, the further this disease spreads, the more likely I am to never return to these forums. This eventuality would be an extreme shame, but necessary if it gets that bad. -
Yet their standard is still only a single button.

home-schooling's the easy way out. trust me, school is better, no matter what the system is. I was homeschooled... It isn't easy. I had to teach myself Algebra 2, Trig, Geometry, and Physics. Same, but it's not really the retaining the info that's the problem... It's that the curriculum teaches you to beat the standardized tests, and never teaches you the actual workings of the math. Your mind rebels and says it won't continue to process like that until the process is explained to it... In the end it looks like you're retarded when it comes to math, so the school tries to lump you in with those that really are in need of that 'special' help. I used to get 90% or better on all the standardized tests, but fail everything else because the curriculum sucked. (I was learning the real info at home when I asked my parents about what I was learning in school; 10 minutes with my Dad taught me more about math than 72 hours of class at school)

Off topic much? only went from page 2 to page 5 while being completely off topic... (that's more than half the thread for those of you that didn't finish the first grade) These extra spam posts really need to be deleted.

If you made a machinima, what would it be about.
BTGBullseye replied to devilk870's topic in Machinima in general
Unfortunately I would be a terrible machinima director or writer... I'd be an ok voice actor though. -
What? Are you saying that the controls for the port to the console sucks? Well, they probly do since they wouldn't have any auto-aim functions. Any good Console FPS has autoaim, with Quake 2 it only slightly does. But it's a problem when the game is easier to play without the dual shock controller. Well, considering that it's original controls didn't include the mouse...

No. You get to start over and make entirely new choices, augments included. If you don't like that, I have a trainer that you can use to put in enough praxis points to get your previous augs. Last game: Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Doing some little things to mess with my inventory... I now have the tranq rifle with 4 of each generic upgrades, and the target leading upgrade. I also have the stun gun with 4 of each generic upgrade... 41 shots per clip, and full semi-auto fire rate... It is the best short range weapon now...

TES4 you can do everything from lipsynching, to lighting, to custom textures/models... TES5 looks to be just as customizable.
