Debates / Depression
« on: November 21, 2008, 10:35:17 pm »
Is a chemical disease of the brain, and is becoming more prevalent because of the way society is run now. Some may argue humans are rising above evolution, I say we're dragging ourselves down lower by trying to beat it.

Debate on the subject here instead of cluttering up that other topic. Go Go Og!

Entries / Guidelines for Entries
« on: November 18, 2008, 05:05:55 am »
Simply quote this post, and edit in your info. Topic title should only be the character name, description should be your username, e.g.
Jar
walnut100

- Please note that if a character has minimal effort put into it, he/she may be declined or booted in favor of a more detailed character. If the character has at least a little effort put in (Discretion by staff) it will be first come first serve, I want the brackets to be even this year if at all possible. PM me if you're not sure.
- Everyone has an equal shot at winning, provided the community likes your character as much as every other character...
- If ZFGC Radio comes back up while the contest is still going, I'll probably discuss it a bit on my block. I'll try to get the other DJs to do so as well. Free advertising for the win, am I right!?

Without further ado, here is the template:

ZFGC Character Competition 2008 / Character Contest '08. So now what?
« on: November 18, 2008, 04:49:07 am »
This board is dedicated to the 2008 character contest. We have been running these since 2005, making this the fourth annual contest, although we're a little bit later than usual this year.

Previous winners include:
2005 - Invader Lupus' The Wanderer
2006 - Halotank's Discuss the Dinosaur
2007 - Hero of Fires Hane

This board is for general discussion and questions related to the character contest. Please keep everything related to the contest here, or in Avatars/Signatures/etc.

The Entries Sub-Forum is to have a kind of character bio for voters to get a feel for your character. There will be a sticky in this forum relating to format. One topic per character please, and only one entry per person unless given permission otherwise.

Brackets are made up depending on how many entries we get, so draw up a bio for your character and enter!

My nemeses, the ant hordes of Arkansas, having lain dormant for close to a year have now resurfaced. Yesterday I noticed a few recon patrols in the eastern wetlands, mostly around the sink. They were swiftly dispatched though today it was discovered this was merely a diversionary tactic.

At 18:00 hours, two platoons supported by mobile armor assaulted the observation posts protecting the food supply. Lines of communications were quickly overrun. They were making their way across no man's land towards the primary storage facility when I arrived. Fortunately, I was able to rally my forces and put a halt to their advance. Through the use of both conventional and chemical weapons, we were able to route their main attack force, inflicting heavy casualties. Taking the offense, we were able to recapture all seized areas. Reconstruction is under way but reprisals will be swift and brutal.

Years ago, they defeated my father. Now they've come for me.

Basically I need some input on what kinda music to add, cuz right now its just my collection... :P

Rules:
- Must not be video game related (As in OST, etc. If its played in Madden or Rock Band or something its fine)
- Must be within the rock genre, will take a few rap/country songs if they're up to snuff for what I'm looking for
- If I can't get your request from school here you're SOL, I'll do the best I can ;o
- Songs get added to my library and I'll try to play at least two requests per show, unless I get less or can't find music obviously
- Tell your friends about ZFGC Radio, and support all our DJs, we're doing this for you guys :D

Entei. BTW, there's something special about this video. See if you can spot what it is.

Assuming this isn't a shop or a mistake by MS, and that the album is the black album, this would mean Metallica denied rights for the transfer so they can sell it to you again, which I find to be about 50% likely.

I'm going to call it BS though, seems like its a shop to me. Discuss.

Notice the Raccoon populations in Germany and Japan. Is it not suspicious that both those countries were our enemies in World War II, and now they have gone out of their way to obtain and maintain raccoon populations? According to Wikipedia, Germany was trying to develop raccoon technology even before the war. And what of these Caucus raccoons? Obviously the Azeris obtained raccoons in order to use them against the Armenians, but it it not strange that the Russians are now trying to invade Georgia, a strategic Caucus Raccoon location? Russia's tensions with Belarus? These wars aren't about territory or ethnicity! They're about obtaining raccoons!

I think it's pretty clear that raccoons are an even bigger threat than nuclear weapons. We can only pray that Iran or North Korea don't obtain raccoon technology.

Distribution outside North America

As a result of escapes and deliberate introductions in the mid-20th century, the raccoon is now distributed in several European and Asian countries. Sightings have occurred in all bordering countries of Germany, which hosts the largest population outside of North America.[127] Another stable population exists in the north of France where several pet raccoons were released by members of the U.S. Air Force near the Laon-Couvron Air Base in 1966.[128] 1243 animals were released in nine regions of the former Soviet Union between 1936 and 1958 with the intent of later hunting them for their fur. Two of these series of introduction were successful: the one in the south of Belarus between 1954 and 1958 and especially the one in Azerbaijan between 1941 and 1957. With an annual harvest of between 1,000 and 1,500 animals, it was estimated in 1974 that the size of the population distributed in the Caucasus region was around 20,000 animals and the density was four animals per km².[129] In Japan, up to 1,500 raccoons were imported as pets each year after the success of the anime series Rascal the Raccoon (1977). In 2004, the descendants of discarded or escaped animals lived in 42 of 47 prefectures.[130][131][132]

Distribution in Germany

On April 12, 1934, two pairs of raccoons were released into the German nature at the Edersee in the north of Hesse by forest superintendent Wilhelm Freiherr Sittich von Berlepsch upon request of their owner, the poultry farmer Rolf Haag.[133] He released them two weeks before receiving permission from the Prussian hunting office to “enrich the fauna”, as Haag's request stated.[134] Several prior attempts to introduce raccoons in Germany were not successful.[135] A second population originated in East Germany in 1945 when 25 raccoons escaped from a fur farm at Wolfshagen to the east of Berlin after an air strike. The two populations are parasitologically distinguishable: 70% of the raccoons of the Hessian population are infected with the roundworm Baylisascaris procyonis, but none of the Brandenburgian population.[136] The estimated number of raccoons was 285 animals in 1956 and over 20,000 animals in 1970 in the Hessian region and between 200,000 and 400,000 animals in 2008 in the whole of Germany.[137][107]

Entertainment / So the Wii kinda sucks !@#$%
« on: October 01, 2008, 12:41:09 am »
TP is an obvious port of a GCN game, Mario Galaxy is a collect-a-thon with easy bosses that amount to waggling to win, and Metroid Prime 3 tries too hard to be Halo but falls flat on its face and amounts to a !@#$% rehash.

Why does the Wii XFD SUCKS !@#$%?

Too bad his driver wasn't so lucky.

Seriously, between this, Ledger's death, and Bale's arrest, I'm beginning to think The Dark Knight has the Madden curse.

« on: July 27, 2008, 06:28:14 am »
ITT I post stories. I'll try to keep an index in this post to link to particular stories, if I can figure it out. I'll post everything from real stories that have been dramatized, to totally fake stories I found on the intrawebz. First few were posted on the chat and I'm too lazy to convert them to paragraph form, so I'll post them as-is. Prepare to be entertained :d

#1 - Dramatized Kyle Story
#2 - (Short) Ex-Girlfriend Story
#3 - Dramatized Yu-Gi-Oh Tournament
#4 - Dramatized Made An Internet Hooker Cry
#5 - (Dramatized?) Football Game
#6 - Some Girl and I Got Shut Out in Beer Pong
#7 - Swoftu almost died today

- New stories will be stuff that I write when I get bored, or cool stories that I find, or whatever. Long stories are subindexed for ease of access to find stuff. Just click to navigate. -
- FEEL FREE TO COMMENT PEOPLE. SERIOUSLY. -

Entertainment / I am so damn sick of everyone bashing the Wii.
« on: July 26, 2008, 05:01:56 pm »
I'm a Nintendo fan and I'm not afraid to show it.

Here I am getting my Wii for Christmas two years ago. I have no idea how my mom was able to find it, but she truly is a remarkable woman. Since that time I have lost 25 pounds playing Wii Sports and Wii Fitness. It has helped me better myself, and there is also a great selection of games that people conveniently choose to ignore while discussing the system such as Mario Kart, Twilight Princess and M&M's Kart Racing.

So here's to another year of great gaming, and I encourage all Nintendo fans not to be bullied by these trolls.

Entertainment / Let's Play - Mario Party 2
« on: July 15, 2008, 06:09:28 am »
So me, YOU, Pickles, and Pyra got bored and decided to play Mario Party 2 and record it for posterity. I'm going to post vids here as they come; they're kind of fun to watch.

#1 - Mystery Land
This game crashed after about 10 minutes. It was still fun though, and we'll probably come back to it sometime.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3999589142579598562&hl=en (MIRROR)

#2 - Western World
This game crashed after about an hour and 10 minutes. We almost got a full game in, but it just couldn't hold out I guess. Our emulator wasn't really built to support four people at a time, so we're pushing the limits when we do this.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6694852983448047443&hl=en

More to come, we'll probably do some other stuff than Mario Party 2 also.
