The Testing Chat III: The Time of Great Chatting

[Oxymoron]

Le quadricoptère!

I really like the way that rolls off the tongue

Yeah, it sounds good.


But wait till your hand touches one of the rotors while it's flying...

[timmy]

Sacre merde!

Okay, I think I've finally come up with the last major plot point I've been waiting for to use in my Chuck Norris: Ace Reporter novel. What if it turned out that devil-worshipping abortionists were secretly transplanting unwanted fetuses into lesbian host mothers who then use Satanic witchcraft to twist the fetuses into evil monkey demons which the Evilutionists can claim are the long sought Missing Link between humans and apes?

Wasn't that the basic idea for Battlestar Galactica?

[timmy]

As an abstract concept, yeah

2013: A Fetal Voyage

[Darksi4190]

Mother of fuck. I just spent an hour and a half trying to find a group for a Heroic in The Old Republic, to no avail.

Is anyone else besides me still playing this game?

[RogueIce]

My last 60 day time card went about 75% unused. Take of that what you will.

[Darksi4190]

I want to like the game so much, because there are a few genuinely awesome moments, like the showdown with Darth Angral at the end of the Jedi Knight chapter 1 storyline. But for every awesome moment, you have to slog through a sea of shit. To this day I still do not know what the fuck BioWare was thinking making this an MMO. If they had packaged together all the class storylines and called it KotOR 3, it would'be been game of the fucking year.

At least, that's what they were hoping for. WoW Killer and all that.

[Darksi4190]

Yeah that one worked out well.


Hey BioWare! How profitable is your game right now?

[Flagg]

Well they are back up over 2 million subscribers last I heard and they are apparently always adding shit to their ingame store, so I imagine that they are making a good sum.

By this definition I am positively destitute. And yet strangely ineligible for welfare. The exciting life of the white collar proletariat!

Security deposits are bullshit.

And I just managed to find a group within fifteen minutes of logging on, so I guess it was just the time of day or something.

Is this the kind of struggling where they can't find a way to pay the bills for both their children's top-end private schooling, the maid, this year's new car, the wife's 10,000 dollar dresses each to be worn on only one occasion, eating out at fancy restaurants every night, and the mansion? I remember reading an article a while ago when "the 1%" first started becoming a thing where it was argued that since rich people like him were expected to live extravagantly, they weren't really rich, and it used all those as examples of how terrible life can be for the upper class.

[timmy]

The article gives more detail, but what it boils down to is 'leave the mining industry alone'

Also it's a tanty by the man in question qho backed the wrong horse in last week's political non-upset

What I loved the best about that is when someone in the same breath would argue that poor people weren't really in poverty because they had refrigerators.

Read the Panopticon chapter of Discipline and Punish first. Then the rest of that book. Then History of Sexuality.

Hit me up if you want PDFs

[Stofsk]

Straha is like a pusher of philosophy mang

I imagine him on a street corner hissing at passersby 'I gots some Foucault, motherfucker'

[Veef]

"you wanna take a hit offa dis?!"

"kant"

[Oxymoron]

Anyone know what Stratfor is referencing when they talk about the possibility of Saudi Arabia "possibly unraveling in the coming years" ?

Something about the country being due for its own dose of Arab Spring ?

[Gands]

I remember reading the Panopticon chapter when doing postmodern history. It was week one's reading, along with Einstein's paper on relativity.

I was lost for the first three week of the course. But then... the penny dropped. I got my head around modernism, postmodernism, and all of those wonderful isms. It was like the end of the shawshank redemption.
