Off Topic / Today is my birthday.

« on: May 12, 2016, 08:00:02 PM »

I turn 23. I feel pretty old. I joined this forum when I was 16, which feels like a lifetime ago. Time flies so fast.

Anyway, discuss the inevitable and ceaseless progression of time and/or my birthday in here.

Off Topic / My university just banned hoverboards.

« on: January 25, 2016, 06:42:23 PM »

Apparently they can overheat and ignite while charging. It's the first I've heard of it, but google tells me it's a fairly common issue.

I haven't ever seen one on campus (I didn't even know they were available to the masses) but I suppose it's better to be safe than sorry. Anyway, I thought this was interesting enough to share here. Discuss hoverboards/their banning in this thread if you want to.

Games / Undertale - The RPG where you don't have to hurt anyone

« on: September 25, 2015, 05:14:18 PM »

In Undertale, you play as a boy who finds himself in a strange world inhabited by monsters. Not wanting to be trapped forever, you must traverse this odd world by using your wits, strength and maybe just a bit of mercy. Or not. The meat of Undertale's gameplay is loosely based on classic RPGs but draws heavy inspiration from a variety of genres, including top down shooters, puzzle games, dating sims and bullet hells. Though seemingly simple, there is great complexity within the game: the actions you take in combat greatly alter both the storyline and ending. First appearing as a Kickstarter campaign in early 2014, Undertale was finally released on September 15th, 2015.

Here are some screenshots:







Undertale is great. It's pretty short (my blind playthrough took me about 8 hours) but incredibly potent and captivating from start to finish: I was completely enthralled for most of those 8 hours. It's definitely my favorite game of 2015 so far. I highly recommend it if you have any interest in RPGs or if you enjoy charming stories. I would say more but it's best played spoiler free.

There's a free demo you can grab that showcases the essence of the game pretty well. I strongly recommend at least trying it.

Off Topic / Fourth Of July Refugee Topic

« on: July 04, 2013, 11:51:59 PM »

This topic is a general purpose thread for people who do not particularly like the fourth of july or certain aspects of it. I personally can not stand fireworks; I live in the city and there is almost always at least one loud firework being detonated in the sky at any given time during the fourth. As I typed this, I heard at least 5 separate explosions.

Anyway, discuss certain aspects (if not all aspects of) that you don't like about the fourth of july. Excuse the rather odd topic title, but it seemed fitting enough. Suggestions are welcome for a new title. (I think I remember how to do that.)

Off Topic / Requesting the gigantic picture of Gabe Newell.

« on: May 16, 2012, 11:17:22 PM »

I remember seeing an image of Gabe "Gaben" Newell on /v/ that had some crazy resolution like 4000 X 4000. If anyone has this image, please reupload it and give me the URL.

Do not post it here in this thread, however. Either post the URL itself or PM it to me. Thanks in advance.

I was going to copy and paste my topic from last year, but it doesn't apply this year.

Anyway, discuss my birthday, or birthdays in general, I guess.

Off Topic / Hella Funtime Adventure Friends

I admit, I saw this on 4chan (yeah yeah, I know), but it piqued my interest, and I'm sure it will pique the interest of the blockland forums.

So enjoy. By the way, Murray and Bones master race here.





For some reason the picture does not want to be resized, so you'll just have to zoom in or whatever. If somebody wants to, they could reupload it or something.

Off Topic / The Angry Video Game Nerd

« on: July 03, 2011, 09:18:53 PM »

Who else likes this guy's stuff? Personally, I think his videos are pretty good, although some are rather hit or miss. My favorite one is probably his TF2 video.

What does the blockland forum think of him?

Off Topic / Do people actually think in pictures?

« on: June 29, 2011, 12:46:56 AM »

I remember a topic a while back discussing how deaf people think. In this topic, someone brought up how people think in pictures. That came as sort of a shock for me.

I never have thought in pictures. Sure, I can think of pictures, but that is not my main form of thought. Apparently, this is abnormal. In hindsight, I'm wondering if it was just some prank pulled on me.

In any case, I would like to know, and am looking for responses. Any feedback would be nice. Sorry for the weirdly worded topic.

I'm pretty sure I could play bass better than this man.

Off Topic / Freedom of speech suppressed at the Jefferson Memorial

I must say, this is one of the reasons the united states is so horrible today. When your right to free speech is suppressed at the memorial for one of the champions of free speech.

Jefferson is probably turning over in his grave.

Off Topic / Today is my birthday.

And I must say, it feels good to finally be an adult. Even though age is just a number.

Anyway, discuss my birthday, and I guess birthdays in general.
