It would be kind of weird if being 25 suddenly made you evolve into a new form of being altogether, though.

In news of that ilk, there's a person on the floor above me with a pet axolotl called Chalchiuhtlicue. Which is rather cool.  :P

Post by: Ashanorath on October 15, 2012, 11:39:23 PM
Wanna see something hectic, come to my college for a week. Today I waited a bit more than 1h cause they couldn't find the professor to sing a damn paper I needed :S
I don't get it, how do you "lose" a person ffs.
And once we had a professor who walked into our classroom and handled us some tests.
When we wanted to tell him something he insisted that we stay quiet during the exam.
Finally, like 10 minutes later he realized he's in the wrong classroom.

But nothing beats the guy that was teaching philosophy to my older sister.
One day he was late for the lesson and his excuse was that he forgot to wear shoes and only realized it once he left his apartment building.

Hmm, dunno much about full time jobs, no1 in my closer family has a full time job.
But this Sunday I woke up at 5:30 am and worked till 21:30 pm with 2 or 3 40 minute brakes.
I never felt that tired in my life.
At the end of the day, when I got to the bed I immediately fell asleep, didn't even get my glasses off :S.

Oh, and happy B-day CG, although I'm a "bit" late with that.
Title: Re: Workshop Booze Up V - Happy Birthday to CG!
Post by: Jubal on October 16, 2012, 02:14:05 AM
Are you arguing that full time jobs are more disorganised than Ash's college, or more hectic than Cambridge?

Because right now it's 2:13 AM and the idea of working 9 'til 5 and only doing a 5 day week seems like blissfully short hours.  :P

btw POTATOES
I guess I screwed my education up real good, since I'm not yet going to school and it started like full month ago.
And all because 1 exam that we were supposed to be able to transfer to next year, but due to some change in school system we can't.
I might just have another go on making a longbow, since I have loads of free time until they find a solution for 15 of us.

That sounds pretty bad Ash... and there's absolutely nothing you guys can do to improve the situation?

I on the other hand, really can't wait for my finals... the points you score is directly proportional to the amount of hours you've spent memorizing the content, rather than testing your real capabilities. What drives me sick the most is the fact that depending on how good I do there will pretty much say how good my superior education will be.

not really, I actually had to understand biology, chemistry, philosophy, logic, politics, sociology and maths to pass them
rest was like you said =)

oh, I got something, apparently we'll be pausing a year, fck yea, pretty epic, just what I needed :S
and guess what, now I need to do armadillo load of paperwork and list myself as unemployed and looking for job
oh, and when I do continue my education, it won't be free anymore (unless I change college), couldn't be better...

Post by: Jubal on November 04, 2012, 01:06:52 AM
I'm suffering from the common phenomenon of "Week 5", pretty much (basically in Cambridge it's a general saying that people are usually incredibly stressed and tired by the fifth week of each eight-week term).

More accurately, I'm low on sleep, I really don't like the topic I have to write about this week, and generally things are a bit naff at the moment. It'll get better though. (We do a research/essay project every week as our main form of learning/teaching, which is theoretically about 20-30 hours reading then 10 hours planning/writing a 2000 word handwritten essay, and then there's a 2 hour supervision and about 8-10 hours lectures on top of that.)

Post by: Ashanorath on November 07, 2012, 05:23:31 PM
I only play the games cause I play them with friends while we talk on teamspeak. And all that gaming sums up to a bit more than 2h playing per day, sometimes even less.
It might just be me but playing games a bit relaxes me and my concentration is better after a bit of mindless shooting =).
Btw, can any1 suggest me a good sf or fantasy book?

His dark matierials trilogy (the northern lights and so on) if you haven't read it. Also very much I would recomend the Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss.

Howdy,

Sorry I haven't been around, I've just been really busy, as has Ladyhawk for that matter. ;)

We're still going well though, she's got her formal tomorrow night and her last day of school not long after that. But yeah, we're both well. Hopefully I'll have the opportunity to drop in more often than I have over the last month/s.

Cheers,

In that nobody's actually done a very effective assessment of what they were, and most people writing on the subject tend to use single indicators of literacy in a fairly blind fashion rather than, for example, aggregating those indicators and trying to fit them together into a single model. This leads to the untimely death of many trees as different authors trade shouts of "My indicator is right, yours is wrong".

I already used dissolved bleach (1/10) and it couldn't kill them, and I don't want to ruin the plants =(
I should prolly get my hands on those Siamese fishes that eat the black brush algae but I'd have to order them or travel ~300km to buy them :S
And my aquarium need a new spot, too much natural light at current one and it helps the damn black algae to spread around.

The most frequent species we have here are the black brush algae.
http://www.aquaticscape.com/articles/algae.htm#brush

I had some too in my tank, but I got rid of them quite easily.
Got a bunch of Black Mollies and two Siamese Algae Eaters. It's also important not to feed them too much during the period of cleaning.

After watching a few more gameplay videos, I decided that I don't want to play it.
It gets too repetitive quite soon, and the whole thing is more of a huge, complicated and pointless player vs. player deathmatch. Zombies are there just as a pointless distraction.

A cross between this, Resident evil and The walking dead would be ideal.

Oh, and if you're in a mood for a horror movie, take a look at this:

The best horror movie I've ever seen.
Or should I actually say the worst?
Anyway, this one is actually scary and not too predictable.

I don't think any of them have been finance related.

In other news I saw The Hobbit tonight. It was good, but Pete should have toned it back by about 50%. Just a little over the top most of the time, like it was missing all the things about LOTR that made it awesome. Pete should have made it like we had never seen Middle Earth before, with drops and splashes at a time, instead of just dumping the bucket on us.
Watching TFOTR on television right now and suddenly it hit me that what The Hobbit is missing is a "Samwise" element; an aspect of realism/a real-world quality.

Edit: Oh and the orcs should have remained like they were in LOTR. Other changes also seemed a little severe in comparison to LOTR, which I will not go into detail here as to avoid spoilers, but let me just say coughradagastandazogcough.

Edit 2: It was AWESOME!!! ;D

Merry Christmas Exilian! :D 

Used to be is very far from is. But her assets are disproportionate to her body, it just looks wrong. Do you think lots of women who used to be men overcompensate?

From what I've seen that seems to be the case. Probably because of HRT (Hormone replacement therapy) which usually starts early for the most convincing transsexual females. Their doses of estrogen an progesterone must higher than those of regular females, which apparently leads to some real breast development.
I went through 169 of pages of the Boob thread on Taleworlds yesterday.
Now I went through like 20 pages of the trap thread and I realized that you just can't spot the difference.
I turns out some men are even better at being women than women.
Quite confused.

And I was always interested in how do they possibly get that kind of money?
The expenses of hormone treatments and plastic surgeries must be obscene. Especially reconstructive surgeries.

Damn, good point.
True, female collarbones are supposed to be shorter and less curved, even nearly horizontal (in contrast to male which rise up laterally).
But from my experience as a collarbone lover, this isn't always so pronounced, so you can't take that as a sure giveaway.

Now the funny part is... In most artistic drawings, you'll see the exact opposite.

An example of DX11 tessellation.

Quote
Tessellation is the technique of changing the amount of polygons in an object being rendered by your GPU dynamically. Your GPU is creating polygons on the fly. As you see above, it is capable of creating very complex geometries that can greatly add to the immersiveness of a gaming environment. It is quite simple as to why we would want to use it in games. As objects get closer to the camera, the game developer has the ability of increasing the amount of polygons used in an object so it appears more lifelike. Or, you can look at it from a traditional Level of Detail (LOD) standpoint where as an object moves away from the camera, the polygons are lessened so there is less strain on your GPU rendering polygons that are not needed.

It is one of the amusing things about anything with a medieval setting - because medieval stonework looks old and crumbly now, game designers have a tendency to assume that it should look old and crumbly for their games and suchlike.

Title: Re: Workshop Booze Up V - And a happy new year!
Post by: Marcus on January 09, 2013, 09:28:04 AM
The premise with pokemon is collecting them and that's about it. In all the games I've played, the plot is pretty shallow and consists of a kid starting out in a strange new world, discovering things and proving himself against gym leaders, and at some point in the middle you have the protagonist defeating a plot by some overtly evil criminals. Eventually he fights the very best and triumphs, and that's about it. Beyond battling other trainers and proving how wonderful you are, it's about trading and collecting as many pokemon as you can. The reason it gets away with it I think is that the original premise is quite an enjoyable one on its own merits, so no matter how shallow the tacked on plot is, it still works. Tbh, the plot is merely a vehicle for collecting and battling pokemon. There's an interesting bit in the first game when you find this abandoned building and through scraps of notes, you learn about the horrific creation of Mewtwo, but when it comes down to it, it's just another pokemon. Nobody expects it have a deep plot, they expect more pokemon to collect, battle and brag about. Sounds pretty shallow, but Nintendo have proved that latching on to a good idea and milking it for all its worth makes an awful lot of money, so I doubt they're going to stop soon.
Title: Re: Workshop Booze Up V - And a happy new year!
Post by: Gen_Glory on January 09, 2013, 01:47:38 PM
i enjoy enjoy them along with many others probably due to the nostalgic value of them and the fact they are fun games, tedious at times (isnt every game though?) but very enjoyable the rest

as with all things you have some people, who dont shut up about how you should all play pokemon or that you should all grow up, actually the worst people are the ones who say that anything beyond Gen I is armadillo

@marcus: you summed it up quite well, its a cash cow with a structure that works (however they have removed proper 'rivals' and replaced them with 'friends' so no Gary Mother portugaling Oak :'( , and due to European law they had to ditch the game corners (slot machines))
In Pokemon Black & White the villainous team is actually trying to free all pokemon and question whether or not they should be captured and forced to fight (apparently its a nod at PETA) however in the end its revealed the bad guys were tricked by their boss who just wanted world domination etc...

I don't have a moral objection to multiple Pokemon generations certainly, I just guess it's not the sort of game series I inherently see the appeal of without more depth over time. Also whilst I can never remember which Gen is which, I really felt that the rubbish bin pokemon was stretching it rather.

Post by: Othko97 on January 09, 2013, 08:18:08 PM
I didn't mind until Gen III, then in Gen IV they began to run out of ideas, which meant they presumably had to start finding more obscure real life creatures and adding fancy colours to them. They must have stagnated into foods and everyday objects however, seeing as ice creams and hot air balloons are now pokemon. That said, I still enjoy the old games for pure nostalgia, many an hour was spent on those games: me and SotK racing to beat the pokemon league, me wanting to wake up at midnight for the sole purpose of booting up my gameboy advance and playing on Pokemon Sapphire, teaching the move "surf" to nidoking for the pure hilarity of something what resembles a giant boulder floating across the sea. Those were the days...

Yes, she does appear to be. Is Gecks a geek or just an actress in a geeky film? Also are D&D films generally filled with stereotypical fantasy cliches?
Title: Re: Workshop Booze Up V - And a happy new year!
Post by: Silver Wolf on January 12, 2013, 08:24:38 PM
I believe she's just an actress.
She also had a role in Burton's Alice in Wonderland.

And about the movie...
There are a few stereotypical or bad scenes, but they are really rare. (namely, the shop scene, which looked like it fell out directly out of a gaming session)
All together, it's a huge improvement when compared to D&D 1 & 2.
Especially 3d renders. Magic and monsters are quite convincing in this one.
The story is ok and it's actually following a band of murder hobos.
The acting isn't phenomenal, but it's good enough.
The atmosphere is quite good.

Anyways, it's not perfect, but considering movie's budget, you really can ignore most of it's shortcomings.

(With a few caveats; they made it too god-ish and Enjolras the revolutionary leader was really un-firey and crap. Also the singing was at times sub-par. However, Anne Hathaway was amazing, Russell Crowe is a surprisingly good singer, and whilst Hugh Jackman couldn't quite deal with the most ambitious songs he was generally a very good Valjean. And it's Les Miserables and the most amazing musical ever.)

Constantinople map icon for Dimos' 1080 mod.

I tried to keep it simple.
Hagia Sophia still needs some texturing work.

When I finish it I'll move onto the Tower of London, which will be the last model for now.
Any info on how it looked around 1080?
Title: Re: Workshop Booze Up V - And a happy new year!
Post by: Jubal on January 21, 2013, 10:59:10 AM
Can I be picky and point out that Constantinople should only have the main (Theodosian) wall on one side? :P The huge Theodosian triple wall protected the inland side, with smaller walls & towers along the seafronts as those were easier to defend anyway. The crusader sack in 1204 came from the sea, the Turkish assault of 1453 finally breached the Theodosian wall (which was built in about 500 but still withstood six months of siege, twelve to one outnumbered, where the attackers had some of Europe's biggest cannon to date).

Apparently the White Tower, the innermost and earliest part of the Tower of London, was still under construction at this point (after all, the Normans had only been in power for fourteen years).
Title: Re: Workshop Booze Up V - And a happy new year!
Post by: Silver Wolf on January 21, 2013, 11:53:01 AM
Yes you are absolutely right. I spent some time looking for historical maps, but in the end I just decided to keep it simple.

This icon is already too high poly for M&B map.
I just couldn't be bothered to make triple walls and divide the city in two parts.
But if you made a sketch I could definitely give it a try.
Finding info about Hagia Sophia's shape in 1080. was almost impossible, so I just made the main part of the building.

I'll have to skip the White Tower, then.  :-\

Are you on a gap year too or did you get an unconditional for some other reason? On this note I have an offer from Aberdeen.

Biomedicine for me, probably of the physiology flavour. Are you studying straight up pharm or biomedicine with the brackets and the pharmacology hiding in those funny little half circles?

So, I'm participating in a debate at the Cambridge Union Society tomorrow, there's a student debate there each week as the warm-up act for the main debate. Unfortunately this time, the main debate is the biggest in a while (on religion) so it turns out I'm the warm-up act for Richard Dawkins and Rowan Williams. :P

(My debate's a UK politics one, motion "This house has lost faith in Ed Miliband")

Bad news.

Quote
The World Health Organization's ICD-10 lists schizoid personality disorder as Schizoid personality disorder.[33]

    It is characterized by at least four of the following criteria:

-        Neither desires nor enjoys relationships or human interaction, including being part of a family
-        Almost always chooses solitary activities
-        Has little, if any, interest in having sexual experiences with another person
-        Takes pleasure in few, if any, activities
-        Lacks close friends or confidants other than first-degree relatives
-        Appears indifferent to praise or criticism by others
-        Shows emotional coldness, detachment, or flattened affect

I strongly exhibit all these signs.
Except for the third one, which is somewhat unstable due to fact that I'm obsessed with gray eyed readheads.

Post by: Gen_Glory on February 20, 2013, 02:08:20 PM
ive been at uni since september and doubt ill still be here by this coming september

my advice, really think whether or not the course you are choosing is right for you and always check the course content (my uni has a habit of lying about course content on open days)

I was promised Dinosaurs dammit!
Title: Re: Workshop Booze Up V - And a happy new year!
Post by: Jubal on February 20, 2013, 07:27:19 PM
To be fair, though, first year of any Uni course is usually a really really dull slog just to get you to a stage where you can reasonably be asked to do more interesting stuff. And part of it's just a case of being able to work through the crap bits to open up jobs in the rest of your life which won't involve you feeling utterly braindead permanently - in fact that's probably the main thing, really. My course is often pretty gruelling, but I think that it's really worth sticking with things as easy options in the short run may really suck long term. Agreed that checking course content is a good plan though. Are you still mostly doing minerals, earth science, etc DD?

EDIT: Just read up on your course content, yeah, your first year kinda sucks. The actual palaeontology modules and the practical bits in Year 2 do look a lot more interesting though.

Post by: Gen_Glory on February 21, 2013, 12:02:06 AM
well I think I need to spend more time thinking about what i want to do rather than what i did nearly 2 years ago which was 'oh armadillo uni is in a year, ummm, ooh, dinosaurs and stars! looks like a good idea!' (i applied to palaeo and astrophysics)

i would love to stay at portsmouth and do a different course but between whats here and what my grades allow me to do i'll probably be looking at another uni or a completely different career path

Whew, engine rebuilds are interesting. Just shelled out a whole wedge of money for parts including piston rings and big end shells from germany of all places. Also had dire warnings from forums that if I'm doing this, I should get the crank ground to make sure everything fits, else it will all fall apart. On the other hand, I'm working with a mechanic with an awful lot of experience with classic cars and engine rebuilds, and he reckons it's not necessary, so just hope the best really.

Today is the 168th day of this thread. We are (as of this one) 364 posts in.

Expected number of posts (assuming one-per-year hypothesis)=168/365*1000=460(ish)

Those are fairly accurate for some types of introvert (reasonably accurate for me), but not all, I'd say, it depends a lot.
Title: Re: Workshop Booze Up V - Five Years of Exilian!
Post by: Pentagathus on April 30, 2013, 07:25:13 PM
Number 1 is definitely true for me, I hate having to make small talk. But number 9 is bollocks, although it's true that I don't like to deal with talking to/within large groups that has nothing to do with "thrill seeking". I enjoy crazy scary armadillo as much as most, I also like to go out and dance like a lunatic at gigs and whatnot. Most of the rest are fairly true of me, but since introvert is a subjective term it clearly isn't going to apply to all introverts.
Edit:
Intro/extraversion seems to me like an outdated concept that should probably be ditched from modern psychology, but then I know nothing of psychology. Was going to start a thread about it, but I really can't be arsed.

Title: Re: Workshop Booze Up V - Five Years of Exilian!
Post by: Pentagathus on May 01, 2013, 12:40:01 AM
Ok it is a long, rambling and pointless post. The tl;dr version is pretty much what Jubal said in his latest post (the one above the one above this.) I got ninjad, I in fact meant Jubal's post which is just before the post I made previous to this one. ie the one above the one above the one above this. I think.

Alright so the only refferences I'm using here are a wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraversion_and_introversion Wolf's link and my own experience of possibly being an introvert. And again, I know nothing of psychology (although I did spell it right that time) and am not good at writing essayish stuff as my train of thought is very often derailed and my vocabulary is a wee bit armadillo, so I apologise.

The wiki article states that Extraversion is "the act, state, or habit of being predominantly concerned with and obtaining gratification from what is outside the self" and Introversion is "the state of or tendency toward being wholly or predominantly concerned with and interested in one's own mental life".
Since this is my main source I'm going to assume that this is in fact currently the widely accepted definition of extraversion and introversion. And it makes no sense to me at all. Humans are highly social animals, we are all massively affected by other humans and that is pretty much unavoidable. Either as a result of this or the root of this is that we care about what other people think of us. Even those who say they don't care what society thinks will still try bend society's views towards them and their opinions. I think its safe to say that    the vast majority of us seek to have society view us favourably, either by moulding ourselves to fit societal views or vice versa. I don't think I know a single person who is not wholly or predominantly concerned with how they are viewed by others, and I know plenty of people (myself included) that are considered to be introverts. So if I'm correct then either those people I know are not in fact introverts, or the definition of intro/extraversion is incorrect.

The wiki article list and wolf's list of myths shows other behaviour associated with intro/extraversion. I'll start with myth#9, it says that introverts "shut down" when they there is too much talking and noise. This suggests to me that introverts find it harder to keep track of multiple conversations at once and that they would rather focus on a small range of variables at any one time. It also wouldn't be surprising if this applied to introverts outside of conversation, that is that they prefer to focus on getting one task done at a time rather than multi tasking, or like to proceed with solving a problem by breaking it down into individual steps.
This leads directly into how I might explain myth #4, that introverts tend to have fewer friends, but that those friends are usually very close to them and are highly valued. This could well be because introverts tend to focus on one person/friend at a time, so are able to devote more of themselves to each friend but consequently are unable to devote themselves to a large group of friends.  Effectively, if friends are a resource or usable currency in terms of our drive to pass on our genes then introverts are putting all their eggs in a couple of baskets whereas extroverts are leaving their eggs all over the place. Messy bastards.
If this preference for a few well developed lines of thought rather than more lines which are less well developed (can't think of a decent way to phrase that) does indeed permeate the introvert's way of being then it could also explain myth #1, in that introverts are likely to interested in fewer topics but be more interested in those particular topics. 
Another difference in behaviour raised by the wiki article is that intro/extraversion "also influences how people arrange their work areas. In general, extroverts decorate their offices more, keep their doors open, keep extra chairs nearby, and are more likely to put dishes of candy on their desks. These are attempts to invite co-workers and encourage interaction. Introverts, in contrast, decorate less and tend to arrange their workspace to discourage social interaction." This could be explained again by my theory as it might imply that introverts try to keep their working life separate from their social life, as if they find it easier to focus on work and friendships separately.

From the Wiki article:
"One study found that introverts have more blood flow in the frontal lobes of their brain and the anterior or frontal thalamus, which are areas dealing with internal processing, such as planning and problem solving. Extroverts have more blood flow in the anterior cingulate gyrus, temporal lobes, and posterior thalamus, which are involved in sensory and emotional experience.[21] This study and other research indicates that introversion-extraversion is related to individual differences in brain function."
Clearly intro/extraverts do significantly differ in brain function, which presumably is why introverts might pursue one train of thought at a time rather than several at once.
So what is my point? I'm not too sure, but I think it might be that we tend to think of introversion as if is the cause of these associated behavioural differentiations, when of course it is the difference in brain function that produces both introversion and associated behavioural differences, and so perhaps it would make more sense to label someone according to their brain function rather than any particular behavioural pattern caused by the brain function. But of course this would be rather too difficult to measure for most people, and if a psychiatrist were evaluating a patient it would be much easier for them to simply use the usual introvert/extravert criteria to determine their likely brain function and corresponding behavioural patterns. But if you are not a psychiatrist then you shouldn't need to try to evaluate these things, so perhaps my point is that you shouldn't worry about whether or not you're an introvert or extravert and should act as you see fit rather than as how you think you should be acting as an introvert or extravert. Actually I probably don't have any point, I think I was just interested in why introversion is associated with other behavioural patterns.


Yeah, that's why I try not to bother with any form of psychology or philosophy, it usually goes the way of this post. I come to the conclusion that everything is pointless and I should give up on thinking about it all.
Also I'm afraid I had more things to say but I forgot most of them as I was writing that post.

Incidentally she said the main thing she got wrong with the plot was making Gilraen's character too weak/annoying, which is the main critique I think everyone else has of it too.  :P

Where to?

Seaside. :)
It was hectic. Four days of intense work all day long and parties during the night. No time for sleep whatsoever.
The best trip I've ever had.
It's kind of sad that it's over now.


Also, I can't believe that I still haven't seen Born of Hope.
I've been meaning to do that at least 3 years now.

I was making a very weak joke based on the double meaning of the verb "to screw" and the fact that sleeping with someone was a way to get your own way (In this case passing the exams). It clearly didn't translate well. I'll shut up, it was temporarily amusing in the a small part of my brain that is really active when I'm sleepy.

Dammit, I seem to have stolen Rob's job temporarily. Oops :P

There was, my sister went with her fiancee. I could have gotten a lift there too. But I still would have needed to get the train home and since a single ticket is actually more expensive than a return it wouldn't have made much difference.
But I missed out on mead. And observing drunks.

In my English Language exam today there was an article we had to talk about. The article was about this advert. For carrots.


Things blow up. There is a carrot machine gun. There is an "EXTREME PTERODACTYL!". There is an "EXTREME BABY CARROT STUNT!". There is "NEW EXTREME JUNK FOOD PACKAGING!". It is simultaneously the worst and most hilarious advert I have ever seen. Ever.

I almost exploded with laughter in the exam room. I believe the article we had to analyse said "A pterodactyl swoops over as the voiceover shouts 'Extreme Pterodactyl!' (Why?)". I knew as soon as I read this article the advert must be found and brought to light in front of the world.

Sadly the advert was only briefly mentioned in the article, but then writer was just confused as I was. I did try and find the article we had to analyse but I couldn't, the exam paper didn't source it.

Has anyone been following this year's E3?
I've only heard about the new generation of consoles (and Xbox being a complete failure).
And Stronghold Crusader 2, which I'm actually interested in, even though it can't hope to match the original.

Is RTW 2 finally finished?
I'm sure we're all still waiting for some news about Warhammer Total War. :)

I'm back after exiling myself from here for ~5 month.
And SW, I've been following this years E3 closely and read tons of articles about games and new consoles and imho there is lots of good stuff coming up.
And yeah, PS4 prolly already dug up the grave for xbox1. Or should I say, Xbox dug it on it's own with their borrowing and gifting games policies and maximum 24h offline play before having to log on net again. Since Sony went back to old PS1 and PS2 style, put disc in and play. Also, 100$ lower price of PS4 is a really nice thing.

Welcome back! ;)

One of the biggest surprises of this E3 for me was the new Mad Max game.
And for what I've seen we can expect it to be properly brutal.

On a side note, I've always wondered why there was no Mad Max mod for Fallout 3.
They're very similar. The graphics style, the setting, atmosphere, weapons.
Minimal work, maximal results.

I like the new wolfenstein but game I'm really anticipating is new Santa Monuca Studios game. Since God of War series is pretty much over they ought to be making new 3p h&s for ps4. I'm also waiting for a game that will fully utilize all 8gb gddr5 in ps4.

Oh I forgot to mention a game which I've discovered not so long ago.

It's called Don't Starve.
It's a survival game and it's pretty similar to Haven & Hearth, but in twisted Burton-esque style.

I've been following this guy's videos for quite some time: (watch out, they're highly addictive)


I'm thinking about playing it myself once my exams are finally over.

I should go there sometime, I've never been.

(The cave that is. Not drugs. Or an actual devil's arse.)

It is an actual cave, well a hole within Peak Cavern
Which is large enough to be used frequently as a music venue

Hey guys I'm asking for advice, which I shall probably ignore if it doesn't agree with what I want to do because thats humans for you.
Theres a girl at work whom I enjoy chatting with and I was vaguely planning on suggesting a date of some kind. So the advice I am likely to ignore is is this a good idea? Because I do work with her, which could be awkward.
The other advice which I may not ignore is how to ask her in a way that makes it clear its supposed to be a date, but also that I wouldn't be bothered by rejection. I was just thinking of suggesting she comes to a gig next weekend if there's one on and then luring her in with the dancing. Its the usual Pentagathus mating ritual (well actually the usual Pentagathus mating ritual was to get insanely drunk and rely on luck and terrible chat up lines, but the species was threatened with extinction so had to do some serious evolving in this regard.)
Title: Re: Workshop Booze Up V - Five Years of Exilian!
Post by: Scarlet on June 30, 2013, 12:54:25 AM
Might as well ask, otherwise you'll never know. Whether you want to ask now or wait until you've known her a bit longer, I don't know. How closely do you work with her? If it is closely then perhaps wait and see. Not that you will heed my advice in any case.

That suggestion for a date sounds pretty sensible and also probably (not that I would know) is something that could not be mistaken for anything else if it's just the two of you. Do you share a music taste?

Other suggestions being getting coffee [hideously cliche but, because of that, clear] or bowling.. or a trip to the park or on a walk.. (I realise these are getting closer and closer to what I'd do on a date rather than the standard person..)

Tips (generally as well as specifically):
- Don't use the word "luring" in this context, it sounds creepy :P Unless it is entirely clear that it's a joke.
- Don't get more drunk than your date. Don't get horribly smashed. Believe me, people throwing up on you/around you generally doesn't endear them to you.
- Be polite and a gentleman, if possible :P (Debretts can help you here!)

By the way, I have been on one actual date in my life :P It went horribly wrong, Debretts says so. I am bringing you this advice from the variety of date-like-ish-maybe-kinda things I have been a part of.. and my knowledge in my brain..

She'll.. be unable to resist the frohawk? :P

^ This is all I can come up with in my possibly-not-entirely sane mental state currently. I'll let you know if I think of anything else. Any other questions?
Title: Re: Workshop Booze Up V - Five Years of Exilian!
Post by: Pentagathus on June 30, 2013, 09:23:05 AM
Nah its cool, I don't like to drink these days, vomiting shouldn't be occurring. Although it does make the offer of buying her a drink kind of awkward, because getting her an alcoholic beverage whilst getting myself a soft drink would be weird. I think I'll just do my normal thing and not offer.
I think there's some sort of carnival in naaarch next weekend but I have no idea what it actually entails.
Yet again the working evenings is being a bastard since we pretty much have to do something during the weekend.

You got girl problems? I feel bad for you son, I got 99 platypi and errm. Something about women being problems that makes sense within the context of platypi and fits nicely into the end of that line, preferably whilst rhyming with son.

Jubal - That was my immediate thought but that line is arbitrary and put there by Airy in 1851 (I think?). Why would make a physical difference? It should be clearer what that means.
(to clarify: I'm not poo-pooing the science :) , I'm complaining (in a slightly roundabout way) about the reporting of sciences in the media)

SW - Rather much the awesome :)

And then, the problem with 'Primrose' is that it would be associated with The Hunger Games, but that's not where I got the name from. :P
'Marienna' is nice though. I read somewhere that in Elvish, it means 'towards happiness'.

Marcus is an old admin (he helped set this site up and ran Mixed Mods that it grew out of). He has since grown up and started doing things proper (weird, eh?) and so is no longer so active but he apparently still turns up sometimes.

(Am I right, guys? o.O)

They don't think Britain should own Gibraltar 'cos it's right next to Spain. The population of Gibraltar, on the other hand, are all Brits.

Recently the Gibraltar government put in some new fake reef or something and Spain thinks it's to be an asshole to their fishermen and Spain are putting in new border checks with Gibraltar which are leading to massive queues and it's all a bit silly really.

Anyway, I'm also working on a biological essay concerning immune system and glucose metabolism interaction in schizophrenia. I chose the theme myself since it's quite interesting. Now let's find some neurobiology books.

Post by: Silver Wolf on December 22, 2013, 03:41:24 PM
Ok, it's time for a new Word of the week..

And it's debauchery.

I know, it's a fairly common word, but this time I'd like to give my own twisted personal view of this beautiful assemblage of random armadillo letters.

Merriam-Webster dictionary defines debauchery as:
Quote
- extreme indulgence in sensuality
- bad or immoral behavior that involves sex, drugs, alcohol, etc.

But why is debauchery always presented in such bad manner?
Let's see the list of related words:
Quote
    bad, badness, blackness, evil, evildoing, ill, turpitude, villainy, wickedness, wrong; atrociousness, evilness, heinousness, sinfulness, unscrupulousness, viciousness, vileness, villainousness; devilry (or deviltry), fiendishness; corruptness, debasement, degeneracy, degeneration, depravedness, dissoluteness, dissolution; indecency, lasciviousness, lechery, lewdness, looseness, perversion, pervertedness, wantonness; abomination, anathema, taboo (also tabu); criminality, reprehensibleness; baseness, despicableness, dirtiness, lowness, meanness; lousiness, miserableness, wretchedness

But how come not a single thought was given about presenting this wonderful verbal expression in at least some kind of positive meaning?
That's why I'd like to share these two (possibly fictional) stories and let you decide.

Let's look at our pal, and let's call him Johnny.
Johnny is a 30 year old guy, works in an office, has stable incomes and his own personal apartment. Way to go, Johnny.

Now lets look at our pal, Super Johnny.
Super Johnny is a guy who appears to be around his early thirties, but you can't really tell due to his debauched lifestyle. Super Johnny has seen things. He's done things which ordinary Johnny will probably never experience. He works in an office, and it's one hell of place, some would say. Indecency and corruption on every step. Fortunately, Super Johnny has had his share of such experiences, and manages to accomplish things quite effectively in his own way, no questions asked. Why? Because he is Super Jonny, with this psychopathic charm and this is his natural territory.
His apartment. Now that's a whole new story. Let's just say that this place has seen it's share of indulgence, sin and immoral behavior.
Super Johnny, you're one sexy beast and one of rare creatures worth knowing, no matter the cost.


I hope I have proved my point.
Thank you for following this second part of "Word of the week". I'm Silver Wolf and I don't like turtles too much.


Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.

Turtles are okay, I guess. But I'm not crazy about turtles. They look funny when they eat. I guess that's a plus.

Also tortoise sounds so much better. Turtle sounds like turd.

Oh, no way. It was a hydrophobic land-raider-tank dinosaur relict. It would rust and then explode when exposed to a body of water.

Joking aside, it was a Hermann's tortoise (Testudo hermanni), which really had a weird name in English by the way, but that's not the point. The point is that they're not so fond of water.  :P

Hmm, apparently the usage differs. In Britain generally freshwater and seawater ones are referred to as turtles and land-living ones as tortoises. Apparently this doesn't make any sense taxonomically, but it's what we do. :P The Americans on the other hand refer to all of them as turtles, but still sometimes call land-living ones tortoises.

Also some of the freshwater species are called terrapins for no reason at all, just to be confusing.  :D

Holden: You're in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden you look down...

Leon: What one?

Holden: What?

Leon: What desert?

Holden: It doesn't make any difference what desert, it's completely hypothetical.

Leon: But, how come I'd be there?

Holden: Maybe you're fed up. Maybe you want to be by yourself. Who knows? You look down and see a tortoise, Leon. It's crawling toward you...

Leon: Tortoise? What's that?

Holden: [irritated by Leon's interruptions] You know what a turtle is?

Leon: Of course!

Holden: Same thing.

Leon: I've never seen a turtle... But I understand what you mean.

Holden: You reach down and you flip the tortoise over on its back, Leon.

Leon: Do you make up these questions, Mr. Holden? Or do they write 'em down for you?

Holden: The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping.

Leon: [angry at the suggestion] What do you mean, I'm not helping?

Holden: I mean: you're not helping! Why is that, Leon?

[Leon has become visibly shaken]

Holden: They're just questions, Leon. In answer to your query, they're written down for me. It's a test, designed to provoke an emotional response... Shall we continue?

I've played RTW2.

TW has changed a lot since MTW2.
I don't like it.

The battles finally have some kind of organic feel, possibly due to pretty animation. Battles are a lot harder though. I just kept loosing the first few.
And they feel so much more random. In MTW2 I could easily defeat a superior foe with limited forces, IN RTW2 I can barely get a close victory on even odds.

And diplomacy is finally kind of sorted out. There's place for improvement, but nonetheless it's is light years from what we had in RTW1 and MTW2.

But I don't want to talk about menus, campaign maps and town. Such a mess. Horrible, boring, unintuitive and impractical. Definitely the worst in whole series.

More thoughts about RTW2.

Macedon phalanxes are ridiculously overpowered. I destroyed a three times bigger army and lost 0 men.
Chariots are practically useless.
Horsemen a bit less so. They can be useful for flanking in some situations, but they're still generally not worth their price.

Campaign map.

The approach to city building and everything else concerning cities is completely changed. For the worse.
Restrictive and boring sums it up quite accurately. Town garrisons are now automatic and you have no ability to choose free upkeep units yourself.
Population affects the number of buildings you can have in your town. Maximum of 6 in your provincial capital and 3 or 4 in other towns. And one or two of those building slots will always be taken either by settlement type or food production.
Population gets mad and start rioting if you have smithy, farms or walls in town. Taxes have only a minor role in overall happiness. Seriously?

You can't lead any armies without generals.
So what happened to me is that I've conquered the whole Britannia (except Ireland), and now I have 5 settlements and I'm stuck with a total of three armies.
Now I must launch an invasion on Ireland and leave all of my provinces completely undefended.
The whole system is idiotic to say at least. It's horribly restrictive and forces you to play the way somebody intended you to play. There's no fun in that.

My advice: skip the game.
Hopefully they won't make the same mistakes with Warhammer TW.

I finished my coursework and handed it in. I may need necromancy, let alone necro-engineering. Need rest.

Well we won't know when you get home, so it would make more sense for you to check exilian and read this thread to remind yourself when you get home.

Because that would be an hour too soon? :P
'murica?
In the sense that 2.25 is easier to type than two hours and fifteen minutes. :P

Partially exploded and completely lactose intolerant.

Probably gluten intolerant too, judging by the force of explosion.
