  1. Banned because that's not her job.
  2. Beat me to it (I was even thinking of the same tvtropes page). While I generally support gun rights (but also background checks) I can't respect any argument that uses Hitler as an example. Hitler ordered the holocaust, the execution of captured commandos and Jewish soldiers, intended to starve the native Slavic population in Russia to death after conquering the USSR, and was an immoral fascist dictator who is basically the modern definition of evil. He was also a war hero, patriot, loved animals, opposed communism (YMMV on whether that's good or not) rebuilt the German economy in only a few years, was well-respected by Mahatma Gandhi, opposed tobacco-use (although it remained legal), and was an enemy of Stalin (a cruel totalitarian dictator). Just because Hitler may have once said that something was a good idea doesn't automatically make it a bad one.
  3. It's like I'm looking into the very eyes of Satan...
  4. When Judith Mossman is giving him the lecture about combine teleporters: "We think their portals are string-based, similar to our Calabi-Yau model, but they've failed to factor in the dark energy equations." "Wait, string-based? Well no wonder they don't work! They're made for that string-theory crap! And you're doing the same thing?! Well, I guess now I know the real reason that teleporter fucked up! It was based on string theory and powered by bullshit!" In Episode One, when he's about to go into the Citadel Reactor chamber to stabilize the core, Alyx says: "Good thing you know what you're doing." "Wait, what?! Lady, you know I'm a THEORETICAL physicist, right?! And I did my thesis on teleportation, not dark energy! I don't know anything about Dark Energy! No one does! You know why scientists call it Dark Energy? Because they don't know what the fuck it is! It's just a creepy-sounding name for something they don't get! What the hell do you think I'm going to do in there, huh?!"
  5. Arguing with a condescending douche about armored cars and half tracks on the Paradox game forum.
  6. Oh for the love of...not this shit again. Foal, why'd you have to bring this back up? It's been almost two weeks, and BTG hasn't even said anything about it since Alyxx asked him to ease up (and for one person to stop flaming him for it). Seriously, if he's doing anything, then I'm all for saying something, but there's no need to take a shovel and dig it up if he isn't. We don't (or shouldn't, at least) care what he thinks about the show, we just want him to leave us alone, so why would you say something that'll just start another argument? BTG, regardless of your opinion on the show, I think we'd all appreciate it if you didn't generalize us based on what one or two of the people here have said. I think it's safe to say that we all get annoyed when you complain about us, but that doesn't mean that we hate you for not liking the show (which is what you keep saying). If personal attacks are counterproductive, then so are generalizations. In fact, out of everyone who's said anything about this at all, I'm 100% sure that they only care about you bashing us (which is to be expected). Either way, I'd just like to point out that you have, at times, posted solely to complain about us even when we haven't said anything about ponies (such as in the vent thread a while back). You haven't done it lately, but that's what annoys us, not your opinion on the show. Moreover, I'm sure you're completely aware of that and are doing it on purpose, since otherwise why would you even bother? All I'm saying is, if you're going to complain about ponies, at least only do it when someone actually posts about them, not just whenever anyone who watches the show makes a post at all. 9/10 for your sig.
  7. Same place the titles are at. Into non-being, which is to say, everything?
  8. About to play HL2: Episode One. It's been so long that I haven't even unlocked any of the achievements, since I last played it before they were added.
  9. Honestly, I don't get why people are making a big deal about how the fandom is 'dying'. Obviously things are going to slow down, we're between seasons after all, what did everyone expect? The only reason I see that people 'should' be leaving the fandom would be because of Alicorn Twilight, and even that is an overreaction, since it isn't like the only reason anyone ever watched the show is because Twilight didn't have wings. Seriously everyone, just wait for season 4, watch everything pick right back up, and stop making so much drama out of it all. Come on guys, the show doesn't have to stop being good just because it's on season 4, 'kay?

  12. ...Let's just go with 'debatable'.
  13. Well yeah, it's her cutie mark. That's what it looks like, if it was anything else it would be missing the point. Also yeah, queen whiskey T-shirt would be great. One of this:
  14. Hey Whooves, check out my Project Horizons keychain. U jelly?
  15. Coffee. I have a strange relationship with coffee - usually I don't like it much, unless it's some kind of coffee milkshake (like a Frappé or something), but occasionally I get a craving for a cup and love every minute of it...Then stop liking it again afterwards.
  16. Downloading HL2 mods. Shame they're all so short, I have to download them in bulk to get any decent playing time.
  17. Trying to get Condition Zero running.
  18. Not really. We're totally cool with Alyxx, Bill, Luis, J.C, Humin...You know, all those guys that don't really watch the show (or if they do, don't talk about it much), yet don't spend almost every post complaining about us? Funny how that works. @iAmaNoob, Yeah, seriously, please calm down. He's annoying, but flaming is just going to get you banned, and it won't even accomplish anything for the effort. @Alyxx, banned for moderating in the ban thread without banning anyone.
  19. This man deserves a medal.
  20. Only technically... 1/0
  21. You seem to be under some false impression that we have pony avatars and discuss the show specifically because we think it annoys you. And what bans are you talking about? The only pony-related bans I can recall were Username (who was a brony but got banned for racism, not anything to do with ponies) and Jack Noir (who got banned for repeatedly insulting people in the MLP thread). Am I missing something, here? 8/10, for your sig.
  22. I could ask you the same question. As far as I can tell, you're the only one here who still complains about us, and nothing happens. Anywho, Humin's signature gets a 5/10 This is an example of a vocal minority. Despite most people not sharing their opinion, they complain about whatever their issue is until they get what they want. They often ruin things for everyone else because people give them what they want just to stop the complaining. 8/10 for your sig.
