i didn't think opera was that smooth looking, i'll stick to my firefox nightly tho.

keep in mind opera is based on chromium code so it might of loaded up a "chrome" theme since after all youtube is a google product.

atleast you can feel "stupidly" old. think about the 50 year olds who feel "seriously" old

:(. seriously like i remember 9/11 when it was happening. kids in high school now just learn it in history class.

you realise all the people who are like 13 and saw this thread wouldn't post their age

hey when i first joined and in the game i would always say "lol im 21" then immediately take it back and say "read 21 backwards." after actually turning 21 i thought of that and now i feel stupidly old.

speaking of the actual topic of it being "tribal", here's something more funny: https://youtu.be/X3ynUvW3Krk

tl;dw: tom segura was hired to play as jared's brother for a string of subway commercial's and they named him "jermaine." as a white man, he claimed that it was a "black" name and it was kind of tribal. they come back and give him more of a blacker name and he had to deal with it. in the end, subway never broadcasts the ads.

to be fair light beer is pretty offensive

it really is. if im trying to win and not get totally sloshed at beer pong, it works.

and to be fair, heineken gives me bad migraines, same with modelo.

General Discussion / Re: What was your most nostalgic memories in Blockland?

« on: March 29, 2018, 05:29:01 AM »

this was more of a recent thing (2015ish) but i had this strange time in my life when mackthehunter started playing games with bones4, and i was naturally invited to play with them. at one point, we were bored and bones4 added loving FACECHILD to the skype call. i had this lulzy idea of joining a server with them but not mention anything about them tagging along. i swear, within minutes people found out both of them were on the server. we all roleplayed as bees first, the admins played along and built us a hive. just imagine 30 loving people with the smallest playerscale flying torwards you as bees.

then, somehow, we got their build trust and we took over their little town the built. this is when the RP turned from bees to hobos. i swear we had full on dumpster fires, tents, empty bottles of booze. it was possibly my favorite memory on this game. yes, i've had loads of fun with iEvent and stuff but this tops it all.

picture proof: (right click, view image for full res) facechild is hiding behind rings.

bumping again (wow) just to safely call the opening of the semi-public build process and staff applications.

FOR BUILDERS: just pm me, you don't have to jump through hoops for this one.

FOR STAFF: this is something i will need for moderation purposes. if you are interested and have the experience, apply here: https://goo.gl/forms/Ji0axCQpvW10RiCr1.

starting late today/tomorrow (probably today) i will start the process of letting people who want to build in. typical block party rules, stay in grid, don't spam, have fun.

los angeles traffic is complete ass pretty much around the clock

this is very true. chicago isn't even that bad compared to LA.

Off Topic / Re: When was the last time you actually played Blockland?

« on: March 27, 2018, 07:29:23 PM »

before two weeks ago: probably two years ago.

after two weeks ago: every day.

ever since i quit my job i've just been bored while waiting to start my new job (i start saturday...FINALLY) and when i'm usually not doing anything i just talk to mack or watch youtube. i needed to get the hell out of that comfort zone just because my mind becomes slush after watching 6-8 hours of youtube every night. i'm debating on bringing back my clan and stuff too since i have loads of free time now.

i've been meaning to try b4v21 but i was one of those people who actually wanted shaders. i agreed with the fact that interiors looked dumb, but now it's like i kinda miss them. kinda. building on maps is kinda meh but i always preferred slate. i'll be patient if there's any update to the game, but for now i'm really happy with what v21 has to offer.
