Do you enjoy excercising?

Feisty today, aren't we? The silliness doesn't come from its name. Now you're getting closer to my point. Today, there isn't one class where there isn't atleast some kid have some sort of letter-disorder. Or maybe it just in the towns where i have lived, or maybe it is in the water. Point being, doctors have been veeeery lax with identifying these disorders and veeeery keen on giving the kids some drugs for issues that seem to be more of characteristic trait if anything. Of course there are people who should get treatment for these disorders, but not in this magnitude, not by far. Not my point, we are getting close to it.... Lazy? I never said that, stop putting words in my mouth. Again, not my point at all.... Wow, really personal here? Cool it with real drugs instead, like our forefathers did to rock n' roll. Point being, we suddenly have a whole generation of kids, millions of them, subscribing to ADD and ADHD-drugs. It has become an manefistation of a social phenomenom: boring consumer society where the reality is too dull for everyone. That is my point, not the disorder itself.

To clarify, yeah, do what you really want to do. Something that keeps your mind occupied, something that fuels your creative energies. Art, music, politics, philosophy architecture, whatever comes in your mind. Call me sceptical about these letter-diseases. I mean just look at the symptoms: Anyone calling themselves a human being has had, or is currently having one or several of these symptoms. And the treatment? The active ingridient is "Methylphenidate", derived from amphetamine. Drugs, really. The last generation used illegal drugs for broadening their horizons, achieving enlightment and for a social revolution. The current generation takes subscribed drugs to cope with their everyday boring lifestyles/work.

Do what you like to do.

What a travesty this is. They should just rename it "Johnny D. fighting Demons" without sacrificing anything of their "sourcematerial".

The new Zelda seems promising. The rest seems uninteresting at best; FFXIV as a MMO? Buuuuu!

Google sick of emails, creates new communications protocol
Meshugger replied to Humodour's topic in Way Off-Topic
I'll take a "wait and see"-approach on this one. -
Awww, great. I was planning to travel to Japan this autumn, with the very same plane model of course. Suddenly, the transsiberian trainroute + boat sounds more appealing

Christ, the new Alan Wake show-off was really bad. Remember this an eerie and psychosocial adventure game with lots of horror elements? Nope, instead they showcased a generic "shooting some zombies"-game no suspense what so ever. God dammit Remedy, you used to be one of the cool guys!

Ceremonial occasions, such as these, should be represented by the royalty. What's more British than the royal house?

New Monkey Island series announced
Meshugger replied to SteveThaiBinh's topic in Computer and Console
This isn't how I remember the Monkey Island games -
Strange how there was no message or anything, did they actually fly straigth through a storm?
-
Looks like AvP2 with a graphical upgrade and better animations. Hopefully it will ha story too, and atmosphere, and being scary of course.
-
Oh, I AM in Chapter 4. I just got confused. That's the one with the Lady of the Lake or whatever her name is. Please her and she will give you the best item in the game and some nice schnoo-schnoo as well.

New Dragon Age trailer on gametrailers.com (spoilers)
Meshugger replied to aries101's topic in Computer and Console
Eew, blud. The trailer was miles better than the previous one. Well, until they started to play some s**t again at 1:10 or so. However, it isn't exactly inspiring to play a chosen one of a group of chosen ones, a.k.a. the Grey Wardens, the empires only hope, when we have had this previously: - An elite Spectre, best of the best, galaxy's only hope. - An elite Martial Arts student, and a chosen one to boot by the great strategist of the empire. - An elite Jedi, and a chosen one for the fate of the galaxy. -
I am completely right as Moses was when he herded his jewish children across the Nile. My taste of music is the touch of the divine heavens itself. Do an empirical test on the matter and you will find that my reasoning on what constitutes as great music will squash your miniscule taste, fit for the plebs and peons which is insignificant to anything, anywhere. My taste is simply magnificant in sense, grandious, and even epochal. The decline of games being art starts with a bad soundtrack. A bad soundtrack is the same as a lack of soul, genius and substance. Since there is no soul, there is nothing, an empty void. You are dead to me.

+ 1 I really, really do hope that this is just something to whet the players appetitete. It is seldom that the game truimphs the promises of its trailer.

Who ever decides on what music that should be included in their trailers should be fired, humiliated and never able to return to the industry again.

That sounds awesome. We should extend this practice to the Olympics and other sports. That would be entertaining as hell.
-
Simply pathetic, i would say.
-
Awesome, keep the dream alive fellas.

I wuold say that it is a compromise; either you have a law that strictly draws the line to a certain age, or you have a annual standardized test starting from an arbitrary age to determine whether you are an adult or not. Of course, that would ensue some quite hillarious situations, where Johnny is 13, but deemed as an adult according to the test and can be sentenced to death for murder, and Jacky is 41, but not allowed to vote, since he is a bit "childish".

Wrong. People like luxury. While traditionally, luxury is associated with ownership and economic freedom, it doesn't have to be. For example, the Roman gladiators often had wonderful lives, got to have lots of sex, et cetera, but it was basically a gilded cage. And yet, the system functioned and survived for quite some time. If people like to own things, how come they don't like to own Enron stocks, eh? Puzzle that one out. Neither you or me can define what the other person want, whether they be material or not. One mans trash, another mans treasure, as they say. In a socialist wetdream utopia, as such as Chavez wants to create, the state(the people) owns everything, and everything is somewhat evenly distributed among the population. Thus, the economy centrally planned. However, this will never work because the state can never deem how much bread johnny can buy or eat, only Johnny himself knows that. Likewise, only Jack knows how he would like to start a business according to his own ideas, not the state. That's why socialist, or centralplanned economies, fail in the end. When everybody owns a little bit of everything, no matter if they earned it or not, then there's no responsibility and stagnation ensues in the long run. If everybody has to work to earn something, then they take responsibility for their earnings, thus progress ensues in the long. Bear in mind, it usually isn't one or the other solution, but i much rather have it going in a direction that awards the entrepreneur. Enron was a bad example, since neither you or me can determ what people should own.
