Games / i can't find this dinosaur mmo

« on: September 08, 2013, 04:36:47 PM »

i'm trying to find a game that i played a few years ago but i can't find it anywhere, and i've googled it with like 5 different wordings and gone really far back but i can't find it

it was a kids game and it was browser-based, you played as a dinosaur (i think there were about 3 different dinosaurs you could choose from?) and it was somewhat like club penguin, and there was a shop where you could buy armor/clothes

sorry i can't remember much of it :s if i remember any more i'll add it
does anyone else remember this, and does anyone remember what it was called?

EDIT: i found it, it's called webosaurs

Creativity / i like coloring things in eye-searing colors

« on: September 02, 2013, 06:22:05 PM »

see title
i've found out that it's actually really fun to color in coloring pages with bright, nauseating, random colors without putting a lot of thought into it
so here are all the monstrosities i've created so far (with links to the uncolored versions below them)

i don't really like the dinosaur one as much but i made it right after the pikachu one and i was kind of running out of creativity so it's kinda ehhh
idk i'm just posting these because i think they look cool and i didn't know of a thread to post them in so uh. yeah

also if you want, link me to more blank coloring pages and i might color them later

Off Topic / synchtube is broken for me

« on: August 24, 2013, 02:49:57 PM »

i know there's a synchtube thread but no one figured out what the issue was and all my posts got buried under "guys join pls" so i'm making a thread

this happens whenever i try to join any synchtube room
it just repeats the same 2 lines over and over
it does it with all rooms, not just specific ones
i'm using chromium but even when i tried using firefox it still did the same thing
how do i fix this

Off Topic / i keep getting randomly blocked from certain sites

« on: August 21, 2013, 12:27:06 PM »

for no apparent reason, i sometimes get blocked from going to specific sites, with a message saying "access restricted" and talking about parental controls, but i don't think i even have parental controls on - and if they were, they should be on all the time and not just randomly
it's not too hard to fix since if i log out and log back in it'll go back to normal, but it's really annoying
i can't remember all the sites it blocks but it usually blocks the forums, as well as a couple other forums i go to, but it doesn't block tumblr and i think a few others aren't block either
i don't know what triggers it but it seems like it's just random
why is it doing this, and is there a way to fix it permanently?

also i'm using a mac, keep that in mind (this is not an invitation to spam the thread with how much you hate macs)

Off Topic / anyone else have an order of the griffin account?

« on: July 15, 2013, 04:46:58 PM »

i was going to post this in games but i wasn't sure if it really counted as a game, so uh
sorry, if this is in the wrong forum

anyways i'm going to try getting back into order of the griffin
which is, for those who don't know, a griffin breeding/collecting website
and i have way too many griffins that i don't need. i could just release them but i kind of want to give them to someone, idk
so if anyone wants some kind of weird/boring looking griffins, here's my flock and any griffin on there that doesn't have a name is free

ps: i'm not sure if this kind of site isn't supposed to be discussed? i know dragon cave isn't, but that's slightly different; on this site your griffins don't need clicks to grow they grow on their own, while on dragon cave you have to advertise your dragons and get clicks, so idk if i need to i'll lock this
EDIT: here's how they look for anyone too lazy to click
x3 (they're all 3 the same)

and one with a purple stripe instead of orange, but otherwise the same
i like this one but i have two identical ones

x2 (again both the same

Off Topic / how do i get myself to go to sleep on time

« on: July 06, 2013, 11:55:02 PM »

i've recently been having trouble sleeping
well i mean i've had trouble sleeping a lot of times but i was ok for a while, but whatever
it's partly due to fear and partly due to having a weird sleep schedule since i stayed up all night once and i was planning on staying up the whole day after but i failed that
anyway i'm thinking the way to fix this is to try and go to sleep early since it's somehow less unsettling early in the night than later, and obviously to fix my sleep schedule, but there's one problem with this
i am absolutely awful at doing things i tell myself to do
at 12:00 am when i'm not able to sleep, i think "ugh tomorrow night i should try and sleep early", and i think that all throughout the next day but when it comes time to sleep i just go "lol no" and stay on the internet until it repeats over again

is there any ways to actually do what i promise myself i would do and at least try to go to sleep at a reasonable time because this is annoying

Off Topic / cats everywhere

« on: July 06, 2013, 09:01:24 PM »

so i just recently moved into a new house (by recently i mean like 2 weeks ago) and there are a lot of  cats in the neighborhood - at least 5, some of which are kittens. they all just wander around everywhere and poop on the sidewalks
this is extremely annoying especially considering i have a dog who is bad with cats and there's been multiple times where he's run into them

first was when he was on a walk and there was a black-and-white cat across the street, when he saw the cat he just froze there and would not move. which already was bad but then it actually started coming towards him and he still just stood there
eventually he was able to be pulled away from it and i tried distracting it but it ignored me, then proceeded to hide under a car
luckily neither one attacked the other but it was p scary

then yesterday there were three cats in our backyard just walking about and my dog decided to look out the window (my bed was under it) and he started shaking really fast and whining and he wouldn't move (again) then he pushed me off the bed and moved because my parents distracted him with treats
afterwards he was still shaking and freaking out and he jumped over a cardboard gate blocking his access to a room

and most recently, just tonight, he was coming home from a walk and froze while "pointing" (head down low, staring and leaning, with one front leg lifted off the ground) at something
i went to see what it was but there was nothing, he then lunged under the car and a cat darted out from under it and across the street

this is a somewhat long post so tl;dr: cats are tormenting my dog and i'm upset
what should i do and has anyone else lived in a neighborhood like this

Off Topic / are the forums loading slowly for anyone else?

« on: June 10, 2013, 06:02:57 PM »

a page will start loading, and then not stop loading until i click around a bunch or wait a few minutes, at least longer than normal
is this something everyone is already aware of or is this just me

Off Topic / need something to do for 3 weeks

« on: June 01, 2013, 10:00:54 PM »

okay so i know asking off topic for things to do is generally an awful idea since youll get very few serious answers but heck, ill try
i am in the process of moving (if i understand whats happening all thats left to do is wait 3 weeks for the house closing) and i have pretty much nothing to do
i dont have computer access other than the phone im posting this from so thats cut out 90% of what i usually do
at the moment ive just been sleeping, tumblr-ing (which is hard since is crashes every 2 mnutes), watching youtube videos, and occasionally watching tv
i am able to go out and do stuff but only for a short amount of time each day and theres not much to do other than eat and go to walmart plus some days i cant go anywhere at all
also im in a small cluttered room that isnt mine so that cuts down on a few things

i dont really know what im expecting to be suggested other than joke responses, and yeah i know theres probably not many options but maybe someone will suggest something semi obvious i didnt think of or something
so
yeah idk
(ps ive actually been in this situation for about 60 days(?) but im starting to get really really bored now)

Games / good free iphone games for older phones?

« on: March 31, 2013, 02:53:59 PM »

i feel like ive made a topic like this before but i searched and didnt find one
since i dont have access to a computer ive been playing games on my phone a lot but its hard to find any decent ones since i have an original iphone and everything needs you to have a newer phone
any suggestions? i like puzzle games mostly but anything is fine pretty much
also i cant buy anything right now so free games only pls(or ones with a free version)
right now i have generic things like solitaire chess mancala etc and also angry birds, not a whole lot else
(ps if youre just gonna post to say "omg just get a new phone"/"iphones suk lol" please dont)

Games / BunnyRace - in which you race bunnies

« on: February 23, 2013, 01:05:19 PM »

http://www.bunnyrace.com/

so yeah i dunno if anyone here will be interested in this or not because it's not a ~super hardcore srs game for pros~ it's just a fun little time waster but whatever
basically, you breed and train bunnies and then race them, as well as a few other things like growing a garden
it's not a huge game but it's fun watching the races
it's mostly free, but some items have to be bought with rubies which cost real money so that's kinda lame
the rules are in french but if you run them through google translate they're fairly understandable
yeah i'm not real good at explaining things sorry i'll try to add more detailed info later

(also: something nice about this site is that you don't have to make an account to try it. you just put in a name, pick a bunny, and it takes you through the tutorial, then when you're done you put in the rest of your account info if you're interested)

Off Topic / help me pick out new headphones

« on: January 23, 2013, 07:45:17 PM »

so yeah
the headphones for my phone have decided to not work recently
a while ago they both stopped playing in one ear, and also you had to tilt the phone to the right angle to be able to hear anything (which was annoying but not completely horrible)
today/yesterday though, they've gotten more messed up
they just completely stopped playing any sound, and then a few minutes later they worked again
when i tried using them again later, they did the same thing
i only just got them a month or two ago so i really don't want to have to ask for new ones again
what's the cause of this, and is there a way to fix it without buying new ones?

ps: yes i know there's a lot of headphone-related topics recently, but this didn't really fit into any of those so
NOOOPE
they're completely busted, i threw them away a few days ago

but now i need to pick out new ones

the other day i got new ones but they didn't work, because they were made for newer iphones and thus didn't fit in the phone properly (i have an original iphone, so yeah)
so i need headphones that:
- are comfortable
- have decent sound(don't need to be amazing because i'm doing little other than watching youtube videos)
- are fairly cheap
- don't break too easily
- work on original iphones
- don't leak sound
if you know of anything that fits all of these then post pls!!

(i recycled this topic because i thought i didn't need to make a new one, but if it's that important i might just make a new thread)
