  9. Re:It's crap like this... on Games Irrationally Connected To Violence · · Score: 0
    Don't forget soccer moms. I was listening to HVSC, and liked a tune from Ultima IV, looking it up I found:
    Richard Garriott has stated that he began writing this game when he realized (partly from letters of enraged parents) that in the earlier games immoral actions like stealing and murder of peaceful citizens had been necessary or at least very useful actions in order to win the game, and that such features might be objectionable. Furthermore, organizations like BADD were drawing attention to the supposedly satanic content in role-playing games in general, and the demonic nature of the antagonist of Ultima III was a good target.
    And BADD just happens to be "a one-person advocacy group dedicated to the elimination of the famous role playing game Dungeons and Dragons" created by a mom who's son suicided. Exactly the same as Columbine, but it's what to expect in a society educated by TV, and what does it censor? - rock n roll, games, movies.

    I don't see how it's so different from the other meaning. With pumping your population full of nationalism, you're making them easily manipulatable by painting a chosen target as un-yourcountry whenever you want, and the patriots will be happy to run off and die in droves.

  11. Re:What a miopic view. on Digital DJs Unaware of Copyright Law · · Score: 0

    I don't appretiate classical music, and then I mean the stuff in films. Because it's like there's only a few "modes" it can be put on, which should all manipulative the public towards the emotion wanted, same in the way as added claps / laughter. But, I happened to be bored enough watching a channel's test picture, which except test sounds also played a classical... something. I figure some composer from 100+ years ago. And I could feel an incredible amount of things from it. But I know the other kind isn't really music. Same with rap. It's so easy to see there. Stuff that sounds good / social critique, or bragging. (You're talking about killing people, "I had sex with your wife", and not in those words, don't you think this creates tension between east and west?) Same with the Matrix, I can't stand it anymore, all that bragging about special effects. Pounded through my brain so many times. Hype hype hype. Yeah sure, for billion dollar budget movie makers it's interesting, but to the general public, if it is so damn good, it should stand for itself. Actually, there is one thing left, the soundtrack, which is, heh, really well mixed.

  14. Re:exciting? on 2005 Independent Game of the Year Awards · · Score: 0

    The problem was with Quake, with its starting of making 3d cards getting sold. (But yes it was inevitable anyway) With this the game industry eventually shifted from making a "cool original" game to just "realistic graphics", and every game turning into a simulation of WW2. (Okay, or MMORPG, which instead of catering to the adrenaline instinct of FPSs it's the materialistic instinct)

    I too though have tried many classics in my mind again with emulators, and was sorely dissapointed. It seems the only games I enjoy anymore are puzzlers. What I wasn't wrong about was the music from these games. Actually right now I'm listening to TFX - a game from 93, and the sound quality is pretty amazing, it used mt-32, not cd audio.

    Reminds me of ultima online, which died a long time ago, but the forums have survived. So with the net, what goes is "slashdot is dead, long live the slashdot community".

    It's the start=270 (aka start from result 270). When the phpbb deletion worm (or something?) was raging, you could still access the first page of results, anything later (or if you had .php in the title, basically) gave that error page.

    One note is with bloggers who get paid by adsense and the like, they link to other people a lot. But if you get hired to write for some company, you can only link to other articles for that place.

  18. Re:Interesting Issue with DNA as code on Writing Genetic Code · · Score: 0

    I figure it as: the universe dies by collapsing in a black hole. (Which would be true if it's one of those 3 shapes?) When the collapse is complete, when all matter is at the same spot, we get divide by zero, and all the matter explodes. Then everything happens again, aka eternal return.

  19. Re:Another distro? on Mediainlinux: Path Forward? · · Score: 0

    Why, that's odd, it's the same kind of response like when someone criticizes google. "No, the other side is worse!"... yeah, so? It's not a competition. It seems as long as you can "win" by insulting back (to a calm reasoned argument, at that) everything will work out ok?

    Now this sounds a lot like politics too, and the "M$" thing, and I found this part in Fight Club (the book) which I think explains it:

    "We have a generation of young strong men and women, and they want to give their lives to something"

    We could also take:

    "Lying on our backs in the parking lot, staring up at the one star that came through the streetlights, I asked Tyler what he'd been fighting. Tyler said his father. Maybe we didn't need a father to complete ourselves"

    What are you really fighting?

    Or is it like pop music now - only good for children?

    It's made for the record execs. That sugarcubes vid has been on mtv for uh... too long for me to... accidently see it several times, the blatant sexuality to it is quite the thing, and I mean these chicks are targeted to low low (girl) ages. (the rapvids with 2 dozen 99% naked chicks in them each are for the boys) (does this give me a promotion?)
