Oh lol, I thought it said Ape Escape for a moment. xD
Pretty violent for a kids toy. :o

Welcome to the world of 80s kids toys. I turned out just fine despite all the guns (without orange nozzles) metal tipped lawn darts, Large metallic Tonka Trucks with lead based paint (most likely) and I'm neither insane, nor am I ever needing to be violent to another human being....well save some exes and their new boyfriends, but I am smart enough to not act on those impulses. :)

How the hell did you manage that.

I was going to ask what he uses his thumb for? Your character doesn't need to bunny hop through the field drawing attention from the Klingons. lol

I like the metal mix better. It sounds too much like a weeble's clip otherwise. :/

God created them like that. It's his fault.

Your parents had smex and created you, so that means it's their fault for all the bad you do. I'm not sure what kinds of mischief you enjoy, but I'm sure you pissed em off at one point or another. I know I did with mine on occasion.

RugHugger setup a paypal account for donations! I will donate for your new computer/parts.

I do have a paypal account. And as much as I appreciate the good charity, I must respectfully decline. I would rather just deal with this in the most fiscally responsible way I can. Plus if things go the way I'm thinking they might, I will have three outcomes from this.

1) The repairs will actually be something minor, just look rather bad and not cost much leaving me with a little bit of money to get by until my next check, wherein I will upgrade my pc.
2) The repairs are more than I have, but not by too much so that my car can be fixed. But still I'll have my next check to use save for the bills I owe then to work on my pc.
3) The repairs will be more than I can afford with help, and I will scrap it and just buy a newer one with my tax refunds leaving me with some money now that I can sneakily use to upgrade my PC to what it might need to run the game.

Either case, I was upset last night and this morning about the issue and was a bit dramatic and moody about the subject. But now that I've had some time to ponder my options, I have calmed down a bit and was able to figure this stuff out. Either way, I will find out by Monday what is going on and I will then be able to move forward accordingly.

But your kindness is touching. Use your money to make a savings account so you don't run into my problems later on. lol

Ok, I finally got the game working. I get on average 27 fps (sadface) but it's playable. How to join clan. Or fleet. Or whatever. Btw, ship's name is the USS Witch Doctor.

The Yahoo group was posted by Tails on the page 21 but there will be a steam server set up for in-game communications so that if we do run instances we will be able to keep a real-time type of action system moving.

Due to the fact that I'm having a bit of a financial crunch at the moment, I will not be able to head this up at the moment, so I'll have to appoint a temporary fleet operations commander to handle that until the time that I may be able to join in eventually. But I can still head up the site with the help of Bisjac in order to get anything else posted such as updates and the like.

Also kudos on the ship name. :)

Well that's all nice, but god happens to be omnipotent and can invent a way to get the message to us without sacrificing his own son.

And why are you talking about what you heard from a minister you watch? Why are you blindly believing this? Why would god even bother to love any one of his stuffty creations? Why would your god even be the god out of all the possible gods and the ones that haven't been invented?

True, but how many people would choose to listen to him or simply dismiss it as a dream or simply their conscience? In that instance, a physical representation was needed as any other indirect attempt by him to talk to his creation led to disaster. Not that that ended any better, but you see what I mean.

Bisjac, I don't just blindly believe what the minister says, he just happens to say the meaning in a way that is the way I think about it as being true already. I've gone to several churches and listened to many leaders and none of them would preach in a way that I could physically feel it as being right. Yeah, he may just be a televangelist who preaches about love not war and all of that, but without reading a book that he wrote, I would still be a person angry at everyone and everything when what I should have done is taken blame for me being the cause of my problems instead of blaming everyone else. Yeah it took me a book to be able to change the way I thought, but I sure wasn't doing it on my own.

Unfortunately, though, rughugger, god is omnipotent and it's really his fault we killed his son since we were created in his image. I'd be mad if an ant colony killed my hypothetical fault, but if I'd created the ants then sent my son instead of using my omnipotence in a better way to tell my creation I loved it that would be my fault, wouldn't it? Of course your god is a prig so you never know how he'll react.

I don't see how a God who created people with free will can be at fault for killing his son. In a sense, you're saying that we humans as a creation are not in control of our own destinies? If that's the case, wouldn't everyone in the world be religious if God was indeed in charge of everything we do? Atheism wouldn't exist if that was the case and there wouldn't really be any of these silly debates to worry about in the first place.

Let me know if I am misreading this, because that's what I am getting from your statement there. :)

Also about the whole Gay thing, I have heard from a minister I watch on television, Joel Osteen, that God does not hate Gay people for he created them as well and loves them equally. Same for the Atheists. From what I was taught, there are things in life that will make you question and even lose your faith for one reason or another. God will not spite you for that. Instead, he will wait patiently for you, even if that means the very day you die and go to see him. If, standing before him, you still wish to renounce his existence, that is a choice you make for yourself. Such as he gave you the free will to do so. Will you get into heaven then? Probably not, but does it leave you to a fiery lake of damnation, no. Most likely wander in some form of Purgatory where you have eternity to think about anything you wish.

after jesus came around;
the only tihng that changed was now we dont have to kill our goats and sheep in the temple to fix our sins. now a man did it for us symbolically

what didnt change, was everything else.
thus why we should still be stoning homoloveuals, according to god. and not doing so makes you Christians sinners.

Lovely pic Wizard, I'm going to have to save that. Put it right next to that political cartoon someone made of me. lol

I have many gay friends and I don't judge them on their tastes in loveual partners. Do I believe it's a mortal sin to be gay? Not really. At least those people are keeping it in the species and take on adoptable children that normal people wouldn't have to. So go gay people, you Rock! The real sin are the people who think it's satisfying to sleep with a horse or camel. I mean, seriously... that's loving nasty. Bestiality is just unneeded unless you're truly that ugly and there is no chance for you to ever be able to attract a human being, but I've seen drop dead ugly-assed people finding someone who has a special interest for them, so it really shouldn't even be an option.

No

Yeah but unfortunately since god's omnipotent and omniscient he screwed things up of his own free will and knowledge and since he's all loving... WAIT A SECOND

Oh I don't doubt that God, in the old testament, was a complete prig. But as far as that goes, I think that after Jesus came around, God no longer personally took a tally into his creation's affairs. Because, humanity killed the supposed son of god within 23 years that he was walking around saying "God loves you" to people. Notice how despite the fact that humanity killed this supposed godly son, God did not up and decimate 99% of humanity in spite of trying to send a more personal message? Would you really care to talk to an ant colony if you sent your son there to say "Wizard Loves you" and then proceeds to eat him as an intruder to the colony? Yeah, kind of an obscure reference but humanity was far less civilized at the time, so I feel the comparison has some merit.

hi guys

This is one of the reasons I hate your religion and all the stuffty ones like it.

Unfortunately god also advocates these things:
1 Samuel, chapter 15, verse 3: "Go now and put Amalek to the sword, putting to the curse all they have, without mercy: put to death every man and woman, every child and baby at the breast, every ox and sheep, camel and ***."

God orders the destruction of an entire city, including children and even breastfeeding babies.

Hosea, chapter 13, verse 16 (chapter 14, verse 1 in some translations): "Samaria will be made waste, for she has gone against her God: they will be cut down by the sword, their little children will be broken on the rocks, their women who are with child will be cut open."

Numbers, chapter 31, verses 17-18: "So now put every male child to death, and every woman who has had love relations with a man. But all the female children who have had no love relations with men, you may keep for yourselves."

Isiah chapter 13, verse 16: "Their young children will be broken up before their eyes; their goods will be taken away, and their wives made the property of others."

Yes, but children are children no matter what their age is, You're taking the meaning far too literally. I'm 28 and I'm still a child of my father as he is 60 and is still the child of his father. You just assume that God is a baby killer, well so are some Vietnam Vets, yet people still honor them despite the few atrocities they committed in the name of Freedom and the American way. So by comparison, we screwed up things just as much as God did back then. All in the name of something we think we have such a firm and steadfast belief in. Just think about it for a bit.
