Not a bad song, the rhythm of the lyrics during the first part wasn't my favorite, but it got better.
Now suffer the horror that is my Superchick fandom.

I'd be totally boned, stuck inside Bubble Bobble with my 4yr old niece. A life as a bubble blowing dinosaur is no life for me.
My only hope would be her deciding to play Armored Warriors or Ninja Turtles instead.

It's the summer here, and hot as hell. I can't stand being outside when it gets this hot, I'm a cold weather person.

I had chicken and rice last night, and tonight I got lazy and just ordered a pizza.

It doesn't look like this theme is going to be very popular. I'd try and enter but my skills are crap, anything more complicated than MS Paint is out of my league.

Snarking happens verrry often on here to both new members and regulars, I'll admit that I do this sometimes to members but sometimes people's stupidity annoys me or if they purposely come into a thread to post something that makes no sense they're practically begging to be jumped on, especially if they keep doing it.
I would recommend rethinking this strategy, it's probably the single biggest reason why I'm one of the least popular members on this forum. I imagine it has a lot to do with why Rune was banned as well. What seems stupid to you may not be stupid to someone else, and everyone is aloud to have an opinion. Attacking people because they annoy you isn't a good excuse. Use the report button if you think they're just trolling for an argument. Taking it upon yourself to shut them up could be considered a form of mini-modding.
I understand what you mean by being annoyed, because I also feel this a lot when I see the pointless spam brought on by my previously described leechers and ani-tards. We all care about this place and want it to succeed. Seeing people openly disrespect the community in such a way can be very offensive. What was at the heart of my first post was that this isn't are job. That's why Koby has a staff, it's their job, so leave it to them. Report it when it bothers you, and take it up with them personally if you don't think they're taking your concerns seriously enough.
but to be fair usually the shared view is the right one and the person getting dog piled may deserve it to realise they're view is VERY wrong,
So I guess what I'm saying is sometimes these things happen, usually on purpose or sometimes things just fester out of control but as long as we don't hold grudges I'm sure we'll all be fine with that and hopefully newbies won't see it when and if it does happen again.
No, absolutely no! This is probably my single biggest problem with this forum, the idea that one person's opinion is better than someone else's. A few decades ago the "shared view" was that black people were second class citizens, and around the world women are still treated this way. Being in the majority doesn't automatically make you right. The same goes for the reverse, as sad and offensive as it may be. People have the right to have unpopular opinions, it's the fundamental basis to Free Speech.
===================================================================
I would also agree with llama that this has gotten a lot better recently. The remaining occurrences seem to happen between people who share a lingering tension towards each other. This is probably a problem that will not be fixed, because you can't stop people from holding a grudge.
Edit: I would also like to add that I now some places like the Mako Reactor will always have a certain amount of snarking and dog piling, because these are basic ways of debating a point. The entire point of a debate is why one opinion is more right than another. However, there is still no reason to tear someone apart for having a different opinion. The Mako Reactor is not the only place I've seen these taking place either. All have occurred in the Tech Center, and I've also seen evidence of it in the Anime and Manga section as well.

I won't buy this version of the Xbox, I don't even play the 360 I have now. IMO, Microsoft seems to be doing everything they can to turn into Apple. I personally think that is a very flawed business move.
The only console I'll probably consider this gen is whatever Valve's steam box becomes.

Falling Skies is the only show I'm following right now. The Summer always sucks for TV watching, It's like they expect me to go outside or something.
Also considering watching Deep Space Nine off of Netflix, since it's the only Star Trek series I haven't watched all the way through.

Since an earlier post seems to be confusing some people, I will attempt to define some of my vocabulary.
As defined by L4ughLeecher – A sad self-absorbed person who thinks the internet exist solely to provide them with free zero effort anime. These are the people who join an anime forum only to rapidly spam their way to the required post count, for access to downloads, and then never post again. They are also the ones that will, upon learning there is a post limit, head to the assistance board and rant on about how stupid the post limit is. Upon finishing their rant they will proceed to brag about how they will just spam their way to said post count. They exist solely to download anime and offer nothing to the community they are suppose to be a member of.Ani-tard – The bastard love child of a leecher and a troll, a person so incredibly self-absorbed that they could never be happy with just leeching alone. These are the people who demand that certain anime be made available to them for download, even if said anime hasn’t been released yet. They will also beg staff members of a forum, either in public or via pm, to be made a fellow staff member so they can promptly abuse their new found powers. These people will do anything to appease staff members in hopes of being given a staff position, including: insulting unpopular members, dog piling on top of other members, or engaging in excessive butt-snorkeling. They exist solely to irritate and annoy the community as much as humanly possible.Concerning the problems that has/do make this place uninvitingInsulting – attacking a person solely because they have a different opinion than yours by calling them stupid, ignorant, retarded, etc…Snarking – The act of making a snarky remark to someone who is only trying to help or express an opinion, with the intended purpose of making them look as stupid as possible.Dog Piling – Two or more people railing against someone for being unpopular, making a mistake, or simply having an unpopular opinion.Only one of the above is actually against forum rules as they seem to be written now, but all of them make this place uninviting.

I'd grab the cat and let the rest burn. I have a fireproof safe for really important stuff, so I can dig it out later. I guess if I'm near the kitchen I might grab a bag of marshmallows, but anything I'm really attached to is in the safe.

Just saw an interview with Robert Kirkman, and he said in the fourth season that nature will become a new enemy to the survivors. Wonder what that means. He also said there will be a lot of zombies this season as well, so hopefully the death toll will rise.

If you're going to spend money on security, I'd spend it on a good router. Every paid virus scanner I have tried has always done more bad than good. A simple free virus scanner and a free software firewall should be good enough. A good well configured router will add an extra layer of security.

^ Thanks for the info. I don't really keep up with what shows are coming out, and haven't heard about that one yet. I'm not sure I'll be all that interested in that one either, but I'm sure I'll give both shows a chance. Hopefully they will succeed enough for other shows to be made about characters I'm more interested in.
-
I don't think I'll be all that interested in this. I would much rather see a Blue Beetle or Green Lantern show. Booster Gold was never really a character I found all that interesting. Maybe they'll have a Blue Beetle in the series, because I believe they are friends in the comics.
To bad Disney owns Marvel now, because a live action Avengers show would be pretty good. It could also ride on the popularity of the movies.

While I completely agree with the statement that image makes, I do believe there is some kind of permit needed to buy large amounts of fertilizer. I'm not a farmer so I don't know for sure, but I remember having a similar discussion about this with a farmer. He said it's not as easy to buy as it once was, and that's because of McVeigh. Pipe bombs are a quick trip to Walmart though, and both could be made by anyone who is willing enough to kill large amounts of people. All it really requires is the same means that criminals use to purchase guns in states that have tighter gun laws, MONEY. Even scarier would be someone with a large amount of ricin and a willingness to use it.
Killing people is easy, finding a way to protect people without locking everyone up is the hard part.

Dreamcastor Rei - I'm glad you didn't change this because I really liked it.

I think Panzer Dragoon would make an awesome anime.
I always thought MechWarrior would make a good anime.
Aquanox, it's under water and has submarine combat. That's enough for me.
Murakumo: Renegade Mech Pursuit, totally sucked as a game but could make a good anime if done right.
Not sure if Oni has an anime or not, but it kind of reminded me of a cross between Armitage and Ghost in the Shell. It could also be good if done right, but would probably be redundant.
Serious Sam could also be a good one if it was done in a similar way to Desert Punk.
I haven't really been all that impressed with most of the newer games, except for Portal. I don't think it would make a good anime, but I'd watch if it ever happens.

I have to agree the zombies don't even seem to pose a threat to them anymore, even a huge mob they seem to be pretty meh to which is honestly stupid considering it's a show about zombies.
I honestly don't have that big of a problem with this. I do wish there was more zombie killing and less drama, but I figure if you have to do something constantly for two or more years, you'd become a pro. The zombies really aren't all that fast so it would really come down to strategy, and that's something you'd learn with practice.
They got a fresh batch of red shirts at the end of last season, so we should see some more dying this fall.

Use Fluxbox and be done with it!
Do you run Fluxbox yourself?
I'd like to know how well fbcompose works compared to compton.

If you don't like the Unity desktop that Ubuntu comes with, you could always install a different one. There are plenty to choose from. Fedora will probably come with gnome 3 which won't feel all that different from Unity. It's kind of hard to recommend one because they all have there own special features. It really comes down to what you need in a desktop and finding the one that offers it. If you really wanted to you could leave out the desktop environment and just run a window manager. This option usually requires a greater willingness to tolerate configuring the way it looks without the use of a pretty gui, but you will usually gain a snappier system since you're no longer bogged down with the DE.

^ Sounds a lot like the problems we have with our health care. That wasn't really the answer I was after though.
Would a mentally unstable person who wants treatment, get the treatment they need? In this country, that answer is far too often no. It's why I think our problem has more to do with the insane difference between those that have and those that have not. People here are utterly pissed at how unfair this country has become and are starting to strike out because of it. Guns just happen to be a very easy way for them to express their rage.

I missed Star Trek into Darkness, and Ironman 3, so I still want to see them. I'm also eagerly waiting for the new Godzilla movie, radioactive monsters are the best!
I may also go with the kiddies to see Man of Steel and Monsters University, but I'm going to wait and see how other people like them first.
