Oh Chocula http://i.imgur.com/7bh6h.gif Jesus Christ. He was born in America from Yemeni immigrants, moved back to Yemen to be steeped in fundamentalist Islam when he was seven, and came back to America for technotactical college training. His (correct) interpretation of Islam was "submission,&...

god damn Stas can troll when he puts his mind to it Given their embargo, I can't really say their failure is a fully internal thing, but I tend to err on the side of caution and always demand impossible of the communists. The communists should be able to turn a small island locked by enemies into an...

As for the villain, she's still a step up from Sephiroth, who has no discernible motivation beyond being crazy with worse lines than Kefka got. "Son of a submariner" is the greatest putdown line in the history of putdown lines, you spoony bard. Did FF6 ever get one of those "fan tran...

FF8 probably suffers most from being too subtle. The villain lays out a major clue to her motivations early on in the game, but it doesn't repeat it over and over and you rarely have direct contact with her until she's gone again. Seifer's motivations are also there, but they're mostly in the backgr...

dont disrespect the tantrics!!!! well, in terms of the combat actually making all the options useful, then it's well-designed, although it's not as action-oriented eh. idk. the combat basically just takes the jobs system and makes it so you can hot-swap during combat. i could forgive the plot if the...

i like ff8 a lot i'm prolly a heretic for this but i'd put it at #2 in the series, maybe 3 if you count ff tactics in the group. (that is among the ones I've played. I just got a playstation two like a week ago and still haven't played it yet, so 9 is as new as i've been, and i skipped 2,3 and 5. b...

13 is well-designed but just uses those ends for stupid purposes it's not really well designed at all, unless you just mean "it's pretty". it's essentially a corridor grinding simulator with nothing to really break up the monotony i'd even say the combat is a step backwards compared to cr...

ff7 is a pretty good game

i think the only outright bad ffs are 2j and 14

13 is well-designed but just uses those ends for stupid purposes

honestly 8 is probably the least-appreciated of the ffs which is too bad considering all the stuff they put in there

yeah, it's good

and to celebrate, my new name is in honor of greastet jrpg of the playsatation fianl fantsay ViI

There's no option to do so- the username appears as solid text that can't be edited, as far as I can tell.

A lot of them are Amerisocialists, who are more like social democrats in practical terms. I bet not a one of them is opposed to profit :hmmph:. The sheer hard-on people in the HPCA crowd have for military coups overthrowing elected governments is downright hilarious when you compare their fears of g...

wait who are you over on sdn anyway i thought that was gands? The original B.A. Kustra, at your service. I decided to play on the original username. Once we get the ability to freely change it I guess I'll change it back, with special usernames for holidays and shit. or hearing the smug rebuttal of...

Neo-stalinist hasn't posted in years. He went by Sean Mulligan. Meanwhile, a guy named Cycloneman doesn't actually strut his leftist credentials on SDN except in the odd thread about Communism, but over on SomethingAwful, he's a bit of a laughingstock for being a homeschooled, self-proclaimed asexua...

Well, that's why I said "most of". Even Stas's not the most left-wing, but the neo-Stalinist and left-communist/anarchist homeschooled teenager don't post much, and rarely post about politics.

Phantasee wrote:Why is that hilarious

The sheer number of people that go liberalsliberalsliberalsliberalsliberals about SDN contrasted with the actual political opinions makes me laugh.

On a related note, it's hilarious to me that Thanas is probably one of the most left-wing of the active posters.

Is it wrong that every time I see a Starglider post in N&P I get the urge to ask him how many Chinese and Indian factory workers should die for his love of globalization?

you sure?

i thought it was

ADMINS FIGHT
POSTER ANGELS

Posts like the ones in the park51 thread about how "oh it's such a shame that there are more religious buildings" confuse and annoy me.

I didn't think that New Atheism was about destroying religions.

poster from way back in '02-'03 who basically did what ando said

ended up writing a creepy genderswap porno about sdn posters of the era

then things took a turn for the worse, somehow
