Salad Fingers is just awful. It's like a tragic car accident that you can't stop watching.

I'm really refraining from making a polarity joke right now. My inner nerd is twitching. :V

I only saw a 5 sec preview of it on a youtube video about the most disturbing cartoon shows

Up till hen, all of them were just kid shows with dark episodes( the ranked number 2 on was Courage the Cowardly Dog)...I saw the green man...the moment.I saw...his chest(?), I turned.off the video, cuz if THAT....STUFF IS WHAT HAPPENS I, who cant sleep A lone after a horror movie, AM NOT WATCHING IT!!!

Yeah...Salad Fingers is pretty...strange...and yet I still watched all of them...whyyyyyyyy...

The term "fiery red" invokes a rather interesting and spectacular image for a dress!

Like from Hunger Games?

Actually I haven't seen that yet, my sister read the book and loved it but I'm not sure if I'd rather read the book or watch the movie first...

EDIT: Just looked up a picture of the dress. Not specifically that but certainly that degree of glamorousness(?).

I never got The Hunger Games

Do you mean, like, physically getting it or getting in the sense of understanding what's up with it?

I still need to read the books. But the movie was great!

I should have been clearer, I never understood why it was such a huge thing, I mean, when its boiled down a bit, its children killing children, and I am not cool with that being a big part of a book I'm reading

I know, when my sister told me her class was reading it for English I was surprised, but I was even more surprised when she said most of her friends (all girls) and she herself loved it.

Friends. Someone is really mad at our guild. They somehow got a big list of a lot of the IPs of our core raiders and systematically DDOS'd us, slowly. I ended up having my internet completely shut down for a while. It was horrible.

That's horrible! They'd have to be pretty mad to do something like that. Good to see you're back though!

God. The freaking Hunger Games.
We had to read that the summer after my sophomore year. I really liked the first book, but I didn't like the rest of the series. I never saw the movie. For anyone who's kept up with me, I was pretty emotionally numb about two days after its release. Just... yeah.

Katniss's dress: Make it that shade of red, but completely solid, no orange. It's that same mermaid shape, but it's not poofy in the skirt. And it's strapless, with sparkles (not rhinestones but something smaller) on the chest and bust of the dress. I'll post a picture of it later when I get home.

I've lost about 15 pounds since prom, by the way. My metabolism waited 17 years to kick in, but once it kicked in, it kicked in hard. I've lost 27 pounds in the last six/seven months.

The first movie is quite good, I have to say. You might like it!

And congrats on that!That's awful! Who the heck would take a video game that seriously, anyway?

People that have nothing better to do than mess with us. We seem to have upset some people that have access to a small botnet xP



They were quite upset at us. It's sort of cute, in a horrible kind of way.

If I recall correctly, it's intended to be allegorical for the self-destructive nature of society. Or something like that.

The children killing each other is presented as a bad thing. Just because it exists in the book does not mean it's treated positively.

No, I know that isn't the main focus of it, but that's something I couldn't get out of my head when I tried to read it once. And now we have to read it for English. I can hardly contain my excitement. Woo hoo.

Isn't that kind of the premise? I don't think you're supposed to get the premise out of your head. (I've never read the Hunger Games so correct me if I'm wrong).

Haven't read them or watched the movie. It just seemed like a lord of the flies/battle royale ripoff with a bit of the Running man mixed in. Which sounds awesome, except it's relatively mainstream and meant for a younger crowd. I don't really need to see a kiddy version of the running man.

Hey, agree to disagree right guys?

Also, Seth, if that was a movie for adults, it would. Be. AWESOME!

Change of Subject: Guys, I'll go post that prom photo in the "post pictures of yourself" thread, since that is the designated topic for such thing.

If I could just find the news article about an EVE Online player cutting the power cords of another player's home in order to prevent him from joining an important battle with his Titan...

...thats...just freaking dumb, who would EVER cut of a guy's power over something like a game

My faith in humanity...dropped a little after reading that...

EVE is pretty ridiculous. There have also been some serious in-game robberies.

That's awesome! I think mine was up all through highschool because I didn't exercise and ate poorly and I didn't change size, then after highschool I started putting on weight. Also, just saw the dress, it's amazing! I think the rhinestone things are called diamonties? Don't know how to spell it though...

Also, NEVER PLAY EVE!!!!! It...does something to people. There was a huge scandal a little while ago because one guy had his stuff destroyed and told the guy who destroyed it that he was suicidal. The destroyer then proceeded to give out this guy's information and encouraged people to harass him, telling him to kill himself and destroying as much of his stuff as possible. The worst part? Nothing happened about it. Not only was no-one kicked out or prosecuted for anything but the guy who said he was suicidal was just bluffing, it's apparently a classic bluff in the realm of EVE and so when the destroyer received the plea his immediate response was to troll the troll in the worst way possible, taking the chance and assuming that he was in fact a troll. Sorry to rant but is this how people should act in a GAME???

EVE is a nice game, but the game is pretty grimmy since the game has a risk/reward system in play. Not that it's bad, but some people are just that crazy in the game not to lose fictional money in the game. I also blame the fact that you have a monthly subscription in the game and if you been at the game for a year and wanted a titan and lost it over one night... yeah, that would definitely suck.

Yep. Online stuff can get super serious. An example of one of these robberies: http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/10/22 ... ver-6-000/

Stuff like this is why I don't play online games. Not sure why they attract the weirdos but they just seem to. It's too bad because if it wasn't for a few exceptionally bad seeds they'd probably be pretty fun.

WOOHOOO!!

A NEW FELIX THE CAT CARTOON IS COMING OUT IN 2013!!!
NYAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

yep! All CGI to!!

...well, that would have never been a kid show short today

That could be interesting. I think it's worth looking out for, but it could be ruined too.

Well that's true of just about anything ever.



Felix the cat '13: because we're incapable of coming up with original ideas anymore.

Awww darn, I was hoping for a comeback from THIS Felix the Cat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SudopjwJqQ

*Puts hockey giddiness aside*

Yeah, that old cartoon you linked to is definitely Felix the Cat, although that is a REALLY old one, he had a lot of other cartoons in more recent years as well (and when I say recent, I mean around the 90's).

The entire cartoon would consist of him being underappreciated and beating up goalies in philadelphia

haha!
Thank you for making my day Seth, thank you a million times!

I'm just glad I'm not the only one who still remembers Felix Potvin.

Proving my theory that cats and other cartoon animals are the ideal showmakers

Hey, furries have been big in cartoons for over a century!
