Off Topic / Why curing cancer is a bad idea
« on: October 11, 2012, 05:09:15 PM »
You may think that curing cancer can bring nothing but happiness. People near death can be given life and family members can stay happy. Well, I hope this changes your mind.

Before you start calling me a heartless bastard, I have lost a lot of family members to cancer, and my beliefs are unchanged by this.

The world's population is constantly growing. A few years ago we passed 7 billion* people and it is still increasing. We all know about the recession and it is hitting everyone very hard. Many people living in poverty, starvation, homelessness, bankruptcy etc. The odds of getting cancer are 1 in 3 which means that a large amount of the population have a high chance of dying. Notice that even with these odds, the population is still increasing. Anywho, overpopulation is what is causing the recession. Countries are trying to spread the same amount of money over a constantly growing amount of people. It is not possible to do this and keep everyone happy. Imagine dipping a brush in paint once. Now try imagining painting a giant wall with this amount of paint. It simply cannot be done. Either a small part of the wall will get a LOT OF PAINT while the rest gets none, or a large amount will get a very thin amount, while the rest gets none. Now imagine the wall getting bigger. This is because the population is growing. Now if cancer is cured, the wall will grow 33.3% faster.
          Some people think that money is pointless and that it just causes greed. For some people, yes, it does. Everybody knows this. The fact that money is a big part of our lives and also survival, we need it. If cancer is cured, more families will live in poverty. More people will live on the street. More people will die. Don't forget that more people will be out of work. If this happens, countries will need to get more loans, putting them more in debt, loving the residents over even more.
          Another reason that cancer should not be cured, is that nature will create another disease; another virus. This virus can be even more deadly or just as deadly as cancer. This means that finding cures for diseases will never end. Cancer is nature's way of trying to stop overpopulation and humans need to stop fighting nature. Tons of money is poured into cancer research. This money could be used to help people in other countries who are starving, or solving the energy crCIA. This money could go to better use.
          Basically, curing cancer will increase overpopulation, putting more countries and people in poverty, which can result in death and higher debts. Humans need to stop fighting nature as it will just create another disease that will be just as deadly.

So, are you still for curing cancer?

Before you read this topic, note I DID NOT BUILD THIS CASTLE I talked to Hugums and he allowed me to host the server and make a topic advertising it. All I did was make EDITS

HUGUMS APPROVED!
DEFEND THE CASTLE
Built and evented by Hugums
Edited by Muzzles56
Logo needed pls

Questions!

What is this? Like Tower defence?
Defend the Castle is a team-based game, where players fight off waves of player controlled zombies. When zombies are killed, money is added to the bank. This money can be used to buy upgrades or weapons. This is not like tower defence where money is used to place turrets along a path.

Is it fun?
Of course it is fun. Each game is completely different and with lots of people, there is a lot of carnage. The rules in this server are very easy to follow and keep the game fun. Please keep in mind that when there is a lot of people, it can be difficult to manage every player. Especially when there are 20 people in the server and I have to administrate them all.

What does it look like?
Hugums put a lot of effort into this build, and it looks fantastic
http://imgur.com/a/naBYJ#0
Imgur link because i spent 40 minutes trying to lay it out nicely and failed

What edits did you make, exactly?
Edited prices
The zombies gave too much and this meant that the castle would be upgraded very quickly and people would complain that there is no challenge. I also made items more expensive

Removed checkpoint
In hugums' version, if you died you simply respawned, meaning that you could never lose. Now if you die, you spawn in the lobby and have to hope your team succeeds

More events
I added events such as blocking the door when a round is in progress, a door to close the door if it is stuck, music and new messages

New gamemode
Danny Boy, Metaknight and I created a new gamemode called "No Way Out" which is rather difficult, as seen here

In this gamemode, zombies are constantly spawned for 8 minutes before this helicopter is spawned:

Clicking the ladder makes you ascend after 3 seconds. To enter the helicopter, you must walk into the hole. If you are pushed from the helicopter, you will shoot up in the air and die of fall damage, probably. After 5 minutes, the helicopter will disappear. Survivors will be added to the board. Players can also do a solo No Way Out.
Currently taking better builds for the helicopter

More down below!

Administration
Currently not taking applications

Danny Boy (2nd in command
Ike the Generic

NOTES
This post needs:
A better layout
Formatting of the album to be in the post
A logo
One of those server status things
The server needs
A better helicopter

If you have any of these, please PM them to me.

New stuff!
These things have been added very recently to the build.
Anti cheat! Pretty damn important changes
Now when the zombie spawn closes, rockets descend and kill all spawn killers!
Players cannot jump up to the 2nd floor without buying it first
Players can no longer shoot zombies as they spawn, but can shoot them when they leave the spawn area

Bonus drops!
Now, players can spawn a bunch of special grenades which will disappear after a few seconds. Get 'em quick!

Off Topic / Any good data storing sites?
« on: July 20, 2012, 06:17:04 PM »
My laptop is slowly falling apart and I think it will break very soon cause the side of my screen is exposed. I want to store certain files, like my blockland add-ons and pictures to a website so I can retrieve them if I get a new computer. Any good sites like this?

Off Topic / Is something wrong with my connection?
« on: July 15, 2012, 06:26:36 PM »
So steam downloaded an update for gmod (I think) and the download said it was going at 1.3mb/s which then changed to something around 550kb/s. This was quite a few hours ago. Now I'm downloading killing floor and the mod for it, defence alliance 2. Killing floor is at 320kb/s and the mod is at 1.9mb/s. When I go on speedtest, I get this

Is something wrong with my connection or steam? I'm getting less than 10% of my download speed on steam, but I'm not sure about other downloads, however.

THIS IS NOT A SPEEDTEST THREAD

« on: May 12, 2012, 03:05:05 PM »
wow another emulator help topic calm down muzzles jesus forget
So i have recently downloaded FF7 for my android emulator and the sound is forgeted up. It keeps skipping and lagging and whatnot. When moving the little hand it makes a little bip sound. It happens with resident evil too. Sometimes when i walk down the steps, it makes the sound of a door opening with each step. I have googled the problem and the only thing i found was something about disabling Fast Boosting, which I cannot find. Any help would be appreciated

« on: May 06, 2012, 12:44:58 PM »
I have been using ePSXe for quite a while now, but only started using it recently. The controls are awkward for me and I cant grasp them. I want to change them to my own controls but I have no idea how. I dont have a way to connect a controller so dont ask. I have googled it but I dont know how. I probably havent looked hard enough. I use V 1.7.0 if thats needed. Thanks

Games / What game am I thinking of?
« on: April 22, 2012, 10:29:18 AM »
I just had a feeling that i want to play this old game, but i cannot remember the name of it. It is rather old, however and it is a PC game.
All I can remember about it is that you were an animal (I think a rabbit) and you fought other animals with weapons. You were like a small toy and i remember one stage was like a kitchen or something with giant chairs and stuff. It is a 3D third person game. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Games / Can't find file extension for game emulation
« on: March 01, 2012, 11:53:09 AM »
I have been using my phone to play games that i own for the playstation 1. I have Gex 2-Enter the gecko somewhere so i am trying to find it online for my emulator. Problem is, it needs to have a .bin and a .cue file and I cannot seem to find one anywhere. If anyone can find these files for me it would be much appreciated

I'm sure this is legal as I have the game lying around somewhere
