Off Topic / North Lake College Shooting
« on: May 03, 2017, 01:30:26 PM »
So, apparently around 30 minutes ago North Lake College had an active shooter.
I went there, but this semester I took off, but I still have friends that go there.

Off Topic / [NEWS] HOW TO BE EDGELORD
« on: March 28, 2017, 10:00:19 AM »
You think you can be an edgelord, huh?
Think you're up for the task?
There's just a few simple steps, but beware, most people fail at this.
Let's start with the hardest one, shall we?
So, step one: Find something to love that normal people hate. The more you can do this, the better. My example will be war. Normal people think it's horrible, but an edgelord will find it great.
Step 2: Find a way to defend whatever you found for step one. In my example, it can be argued as population control, and a great source of innovation.
Step C: Post and talk about it at every opportunity. Doesn't matter how hard it is, sneak it into every conversation.
Step IV: (Advanced) Copy other edge or unloved habits of others, incorporating them into your own.
If you manage to complete this
We'll see you.

« on: March 26, 2017, 10:07:37 AM »
I'm posting this here hoping someone can help.
On my home WiFi, I can only access Google-owned websites, and it's only my devices. There aren't any blocks or anything like that, and everyone I know is pretty confused by this. I'm typing this on my phone using mobile data, otherwise it would just tell me the page timed out. Ping commands always time out, and trace route commands show failure at the first hop.
This is, of course, only the case if I don't check a Google-owned website.

Games / Legend of Zelda Ura Project
« on: February 06, 2013, 12:20:41 AM »
I realize this is kind of old, but I didn't see a topic for it.
What is it?
Legend of Zelda Ura was originally going to be an expansion for the Nintendo 64's Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It would take advantage of the Nintendo 64 Disk Drive, and would provide all the content that was cut when porting Ocarina of Time to a cartridge when Nintendo scrapped the idea of releasing it for the Disk Drive. It would also include much improved graphics and make Ocarina of Time more challenging.
Now, a small group of people have taken to using the few clues we have as to what it would be and are remaking it so we can all experience what we never got to see from Nintendo.
Why Nintendo never released it:
As it was all stuff in Beta Zelda, it seems like this would eventually come out, even if only as a leak. That never happened, as when the 64DD finally came out, Nintendo assured its immediate failure in the U.S. However, there was also some laziness in the developers, who decided to make Majora's Mask instead when they thought Ura Zelda would be too hard.
Screenshots (Nintendo's version):

Where can I keep track of this?
Right here.

Off Topic / In the event of some sort of apocolypse
« on: February 05, 2013, 02:47:30 PM »
If something were to happen, what would you do?
This can be zombies, or an alien invasion, or whatever you can think of. Just let us know what the disaster is.
For expample: In the event of a zombie apocolypse, move into a penthouse on top of a skyscraper. (Good sniping position)
Go!

I'm looking for a good pair of headphones, and my price range is up to $60. I plan on only using them for listening to music on my iPod Touch, so no microphone, and can't be a USB pair. Any ideas?

Games / Next Zelda title/remake
« on: September 07, 2012, 01:01:57 PM »
So, Nintendo is apparently taking a vote as to which Zelda title they want to either make, or remake. The possibilities are a sequel to A Link to the Past, a remake of A Link to the Past, or a remake of Majora's Mask.
The main video can be found here:

Now, go out and vote for Majora's Mask!
