Help / This damn duplucator...

« on: July 28, 2009, 07:28:30 PM »

Ok, I'm freaking fed up with this, whenever I'm busy my brother is always complaining.

"Hey! This duplicator doesn't work!"

"Can't you just fix the trust system?"

"No, now stop being an starfish and get over here..."



I've uninstalled better trust system, and just about any other addon that messes with the trust system.  Any help here?

Off Topic / Help me (Flash Player is broken?)

« on: January 26, 2009, 10:03:56 PM »

Ok, so youtube doesn't work for me anymore, and when I go to install flash player, Internet Explorer doesn't go.  I can't use Firefox since my parents think that IE is the ultimate in browser technology.

What do I do?  I already tried to see if it's enabled and it is.

This all started after I installed some Russian game (Half the manual wasn't translated) called "Dark Horizon," it's fun and all, but I think it crashed my Flash Player.

Off Topic / the internet making the jump

« on: November 17, 2008, 08:07:08 PM »

Bad internet memes in real life = fail.

Three internet related things that have made the jump from the internet to my school are:
Fail (i.e. "This projector fails" yes, a teacher did say that)
Win (people say "that is pure win" no, seriously! its really annoying.)
The game (Grafiti in the bathroom wall, my school production of Noises Off had "The game" written all over the set, people go around with shirts that say "the game." btw you lost...)

Have they made the jump to your real life?

Games / Portal help

« on: November 16, 2008, 07:18:10 PM »

I was thinking about talking my parents into letting me buy portal, it is T so they might not let me.  I also heard that there are mods avalible for portal.  But my question for you is: what do mods change in the game since all you do is run around with a singe weapon and do one single task, or explain to me the various uses a mod does to portal.

Or

What good mods are out there for portal?

I might just cover the rating box with a sticker that says E10 instead of T to get it...

Off Topic / Looking for good videogame/movie soundtracks

« on: October 24, 2008, 11:24:44 PM »

Video Games:
My personal favorite is the Ace Combat Zero theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQsWpcwvmI0

This contains the usuall orchestra+Choir, BUT it has an added spanish flair to it and contains a spanish guitar with a rythim guitar solo, I use this music to replace the stuffty Starfox Assault music when I play it. This is on my iPod
the only thing is that it is sometimes repetitive and gets predictable at some points.

Another favorite is the Assassins Creed soundtrack (2 links):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkXt9ZZTdb0
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5a2Drdfs-4Y <-to get the real taste of the music, skip to about 7 mins.

This soundtrack features a chorus and a mix of techno/middle-eastern style, It is contempuary (spellcheck please) and is different.  I love the use of flutes and whatever middle-eastern style woodwind that is.

Halo has OK soundtracks, but nothing special (everyone has heard of the halo theme right?)

Advent rising is awsome, too many good song to link.  Our band actually played the Advent rising theme for marching this year.  Try "Advent Rising theme" or "Greater lights" is one my brother (Bri2.0) likes but I never heard it.

Half life 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iy61r3Qkm6o

Love the use of Techno/Minor key tonality.  Good soundtrack.

Movies:
POtC:
Classic, my band also played this one year:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pA5WpBVsGdE

National Treasure:  not the best, but something to listen to, If you notice, every soundtrack has a main theme, this shows NT's theme perfectly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyl-JXOTLP8

Quantum of Solace, Another Way to Die: This is the main theme to the new James Bond movie, I love Jack White and his style, even though the chorus could use some work, this is a fun one to play on guitar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hM5UJvnbbuY

Tabs to "Another Way to Die"
http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/a/alicia_keys/another_way_to_die_crd.htm

So thats all I have so far, what did you find that I forgot? post it and maybe I'll add it, if this is in wrong section, sorry, if I fail, then give me some credit for trying.

Off Topic / Lost in Translation

« on: October 13, 2008, 11:11:10 PM »

Use the Dictionary.com translator to make some funky translations:

http://dictionary.reference.com/translate

Just translate to the language of your choice and then translate back!

Ex. I used this:

Oh, I'm choking, I'm choking
On the smoke from this burning house
I claw and I scrape
But I can't seem to get out
But who then, who is this
That's scratching from the ground
Oh, it's my world, too
But whose gold is this I'm digging out?

When we go, where we go
When we're dead
Is the verdict still out?
Do we get into line
To line up with those long dead now?
With the muffled tears of sorrow
Bones underground
Is this time our time?
Yes, it is
Without or with this shadow of doubt

I don't want to wake up
Lost in the Dreams of our Fathers
Oh, it's such a waste child
To live and die for the Dreams of our Fathers
Though I must confess, yes
My view is a wonder about this
This love I possess, love
Must be the Dreams of our Fathers

(I used one of my favorite songs)

Then I translated from english to russian to french to korean then back to english to get:

Ah, suffocation possibility in it smoke of I and I suffocation this combustion house I raye and I érafle it will get but in the outside and it will be visible and it makes and it means that after this of this, raye Ah of it ground rise this me peace, but too goes out this gold which in the outside but and it sells?

When we go, when us go we die in the place, verdict always in the outside?
Us got from the line fixing [and dlinnimi] people did the Huaihe woman die now?
Is the bone the stopwatch our timely day thing which is an underground with soundproof cut of pain?
It is like that, this shade of it doubt without or

I sleep too at long time upper direction and Ah where it loses from dream of our father who does not want is this like that one thing [nenyzhnym children] must recognize what which is to go out and, but it respects the dream of our father to live and in order to die, like that AM my spectacle love [ey kwan_ha_ye] matter of concern and interest, I, must be dream of the Nile our father,


Engrish-a-rific!

What can you do?

Suggestions & Requests / new blockhead death noise

« on: October 09, 2008, 07:15:42 PM »

Play Half Life 2 before? good.

Can someone get the noise, when a civil protection guy dies, then on blockland it would play that noise when you did.

you know that *beeeeeep, static, radio click, then random radio jabber*

that would be cool (In my opinion)  I will lock if this has been made before or if its impossible
