George and Amal Clooney are expecting twins.

The actor's longtime friend and fellow "Ocean's" series co-star, Matt Damon, confirmed the news on Thursday and recalled the moment Clooney told him.
"I was working with him last fall and he pulled me aside on set and I mean, I almost started crying. I was so happy for him," Damon told Entertainment Tonight Canada at a junket for his upcoming film "The Great Wall." "And I was like, 'how far along is she?' And he goes, 'eight weeks.'"
holy stuff 2017 enough with the twins. george clooney and his wife Amal are going to be parents pretty soon

i dont need any flashy graphics or stuff like that. i need it for music production/work, not video games.
Speed and Disk Space are the two biggest must-haves

Drama / Corderlain is probably Master Matthew

« on: February 02, 2017, 10:38:26 PM »

https://forum.blockland.us/index.php?action=profile;u=151247

he creates an account 3 days ago and immediately starts posting in politics, which if you remember from the birth of my deceased perry account, is a clear sign that an alt has just been introduced to the public.

He's not terrible right now but so far he's been causing a ton of confusion and beginning to resemble Master Matthew. hell someone probably did an alt check already and I just completely missed it. Either way he's displaying signs that rival those of average intelligence, which is why I think he's an alt of matthew. He also agreed with one of matthew's posts which is a complete red flag if you ask me.

Badspots on it. Schools have become a conveyor belt for the left to control people. Teachers are by a huge margin liberal and have no qualms forcing their political opinions into their lessons. Even in the south this is a huge thing.

His posts seem to have a subtle hint of 'the left is taking over!!!!' which you only find in Stocking, Master Matthew or Lord Tony.

Are avatars that important?

Despite begging people previously for very obvious answers on how to change his avatar, he proceeds to make a single post in the entire master matthew thread, almost trying to justify matthew's patterns (he completely ignored/glossed over the main issue of the topic, which was matthew himself)

No you're just being an obtuse ass. An organization set out to be violent in a protest and it devolved into a riot. Should they be a called a terrorist organization? Maybe not. Should the violent protesters(rioters) be arrested and charged? Yes.

Out of the blue, holds an instant grudge with me and completely straw-mans a point I make in the thread, refusing to hold any intelligent response when I confront him about it

And you were being an obtuse ass.

Because he's not PC so anyone who's a leftie thinks he's Riddler incarnate.

Just to make it clear, I'm not creating this thread because I disagree with his opinions. I'm doing it because the way he's so far presented his opinions have been poorly worded/confrontational and facetious about arguments that he creates himself. As for me, i'm just creating this thread because I want to say I called it when someone exposes who he's an alt of.

Off Topic / Phanto probably has diabetes

« on: January 31, 2017, 08:52:50 AM »

so for context i'm in my senior year of high school and i'm failing most of my classes. most of the time i'll come through 2 hours late with edibles, so of course i have to buy 20 bags of skittles.

the entire day is super boring and if i don't have sugar or snacks time slows down and i get really depressed. i essentially have a sugar addiction at this point. I spend around 25-30$ a week on snacks and 5 hour energy. I give away half of my candy because most of the time i get sick and can't eat any more, but im still consuming well over 500 grams of sugar a day

i think i should see a nutritionist, but honestly i can't be assed to set up an appointment much less pay for it.

fun fact: most people will remember but i used to drink a little bit of lean here and there. i stopped a year ago because the price hiked plus i was getting sick every day and missing a lot of school, but i probably have a broken liver by now. dunno if sugar will make it worse

Modification Help / Rotating static shapes

« on: January 29, 2017, 12:08:30 AM »

if you know me you'll already know that i suck at angles and vectors and rotation and stuff

Code: [Select]

function gencircle(%obj)
{
%f = 360;
for(%i = 0; %i < %f; %i++)
{
new StaticShape(ab)
{
datablock = cube;
position = getWord(%obj.getPosition(),0)+(msin((%i*180)/$pi)*10) SPC getWord(%obj.getPosition(),1)+(mcos((%i*180)/$pi)*10) SPC 0;
scale = "0.2 1 10";
};
ab.setTransform(ab.getposition() SPC 0 SPC eulerToAxis(%i) SPC 0);
}
}
this spawns 359 static shapes in a circle around an object. I need each static object to FACE the ORIGIN of the circle.

Someone help me out

I don't know if this happens to anybody else, but whenever I upload a new profile picture it takes (on average) 1-2 days to update. You guys get this problem too?

Off Topic / Animals are immortal

« on: August 23, 2016, 07:57:14 PM »

Think about it

We're only mortal because we understand what death is and we fear it. We have the concept of mortality which makes us mortal in our minds.

Animals dont understand death, they just live to survive. Sure they can sense danger and feel fear, but they dont understand death at all. In their minds life just goes on indefinitely

Animals live forever in their minds and dont die because they dont believe in death. We like to think of ourselves as gods but its time we realize who the true gods are.

Modification Help / Vector Help

« on: August 19, 2016, 05:14:35 PM »

vectors are loving hard

Code: [Select]

function Player::forget(%this)
{
%start = %this.getEyePoint();
%vec = %this.getEyeVector();
%end = VectorAdd(%start, VectorScale(%vec, 60));

%ray = containerRayCast(%start, %end, $Typemasks::PlayerObjectType | $Typemasks::FXbrickObjectType | $Typemasks::TerrainObjectType | $Typemasks::InteriorObjectType | $TypeMasks::VehicleObjectType, %this);
%huh = getWords(%ray,1,3);
%ee = VectorAdd(%start,%huh);

for(%i=0;%i<10;%i++)
{
%gay = VectorSub(%end,vectorScale(%ee,%i/10));
spawnEmitter(SWDroidBlasterEmitter,%gay);
announce(%ee);
}
}
I'm trying to spawn a beam of particles along a vector, but I can never get the vector right. is there a good method that I can use to place a particle every 1 TU along a vector until the vector ends or gets a containerRaycast object

psuedocode/actual example would be helpful since i'm a dumbass when it comes to TS

« on: August 18, 2016, 10:09:10 AM »

Im trying to make a rank system that shows the player what rank they are in the server (based on score)

i have a bunch of variables like $Pref::INF::playerData::score[%blid] = 1000; assigned to different values, and I want to order every variable from greatest to least by value, so that someone with the score 100000000000 will be rank 1, and someone with score 5 will be rank 409
