Off Topic / Blockland Forums Plug.dj v.3.141592

« on: January 09, 2015, 08:45:35 PM »

Get on in here!

First off, I have no idea what this is.
Second, I trust none of you with personal logins.
Thirdly, that name is dodgy as hell as it is.

Call me a skeptic.

Plug.dj is a public website where each person gets a turn to play a video or song of their choice off of YouTube or Soundcloud. I don't run it. I have no access to logins. This is just a private room that I created for the Forums. ThatRandonGuy doesn't want to log in because he's whatever.

The name's kinda reminiscent of last.fm or the predecessor to plug.dj, turntable.fm. If you don't wanna join, it's all good.

So yeah.

Forum Games / Our Own Little Metro: A Collaborative Metro Map

« on: November 17, 2014, 04:00:50 PM »

I kind of thought about this in class, and realized it'd be a fun little collaborative project for the forums to do (if you lot don't manage to forget it up). So let's create our own metro system, shall we?

You can name the stations whatever you'd like as long as it's not incredibly offensive (i.e. something about how you don't like black people or Jews) or nonsensical (i.e. Pizza stuff Online and then a bunch of cyrillic characters because you think it's hilarious).

Add as many lines as you want. Our first station is Octree. Try to use Cambria for the station names. I'll update the OP with the new map as often as possible.

Please don't rooster this up.

Off Topic / Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo crashes during test flight in Mojave desert.

« on: October 31, 2014, 03:41:07 PM »

It broke into pieces and crashed after being released from the mothership. One confirmed dead, while another has been transported to a local hospital.

It hasn't been a very good week for private space travel, suffice to say.

Off Topic / Florida has not had a hurricane in 9 years.

« on: October 25, 2014, 07:51:18 PM »

Our last real hurricane was Wilma back in 2005, and all those following (which is 2) have both been bad rainstorms without wind. In fact yesterday was the 9th anniversary of Wilma's landfall: 6:30 AM in Naples.

This may sound loving crazy, but I want another hurricane, dammit. They're super loving cool.

Off Topic / North Korea acknowledges the existence of its labor camps for the first time.

« on: October 07, 2014, 09:22:00 PM »

This has never happened. Despite the release of UN documentation in the past of human rights atrocities in North Korea, its government has never actually publicly acknowledged the existence of any sort of reform system in the past.

This is in no way normal, and seeing as how Dennis Rodman's Pal has not been seen in public since September 3 nor has he been mentioned by any member of the government, the question begs to be asked: where the hell is he? What the hell is happening in North Korea?

Off Topic / An important announcement regarding your flight.

« on: October 06, 2014, 07:14:41 PM »

Here's a flight announcement from Tom and me if you care.

We're doing it some time soon. Don't know when, but soon for sure. And if you don't know what we're talking about, this should suffice as an explanation.

Games / Anybody own Assetto Corsa?

« on: October 02, 2014, 05:06:41 PM »

If you do, post here. I'm gauging interest in creating a small racing league for Blockland players that we could possibly expand later on. Series, track list, and other stuff would be determined later on.

We might even have it streamed depending on if anyone would want to do that.

Off Topic / There's some weird stuff going on with my homeowner's association.

« on: September 10, 2014, 08:33:26 PM »

Blogland yada yada.

There's some hardcore coup d'état stuff going on.

Basically, my homeowner's association is like a bunch of fascists. If you have your boat out for one day, you get a letter. If you leave your garbage cans out one hour longer than you need, you get a letter. Anytime the inspector comes by and notices something off that maybe happened just that day: a fallen palm frond, standing water in your driveway after a hard rain, guess what? A loving letter.

This all comes from the board of directors that run my housing development which is comprised of this shady ass realtor and his business partners that've been selling houses in the development for all of 5 years and on the board for 3. Essentially, they've been accused of using funds allocated for the maintenance of the development for leisure (going out to expensive dinners, buying extravagant things). To be quite honest, I wouldn't be surprised.

Recently, an even shadier sect of people comprised of old board members surfaced and have been apparently protesting at board meetings and messing with private email accounts to get info.

Well, apparently, a few weeks back they had found some dirt and wanted to tell the homeowners about it. So they created some website that allegedly would provide you with said information if you signed up. A few of my neighbors signed up just to see what it was.

Well? It was a loving gyp, of course. Anybody who signed up, which was nearly half the development (don't even get me started on how they got all these emails to send out the info in the first place; has something to do with a double agent IT guy or whatever), had their records stolen and read. Basically everything regarding mortgages and financial data on their homes as well as any outstanding permits and floor plans.

So now we have a corrupt association and a bunch of privacy thieves in our development and doing stupid ass stuff.

This is a loving housing development. These people are treating it like some kind of secret Illuminati-esque organization.

How this stuff hasn't ended up on the news I have no idea.

Games / Breaking a Record - Assetto Corsa [OFFLINE]

« on: September 06, 2014, 06:36:10 PM »

I like the Nordschleife a lot. A few years back, a record was set for 6:17 in a full loop around the track. And I don't give a damn how long it takes I'm gonna beat that record.

Link. Hopefully Tom or Mack or someone'll be around to commentate and shoot the stuff. I'll be playing music till then.

Games / PSA: Do not play the CoD: Ghosts free weekend.

« on: August 30, 2014, 10:40:39 AM »

No, it's not because the game is bad.

People are reporting receiving ban notifications saying that they have been VAC banned after playing multiplayer or co-op. They're not actual VAC bans, but if you do in fact own the game, you may have been banned permanently from matchmaking in-game.

If you do get banned and actually care, email Activision.
