Musopticon?

That can majorly suck, Deraldin. I remember a couple of instances were I somehow lost a presentation for a history course and had to redo tons of work. This time it's different though, I actually like the subject I'm writing about. Rewriting is a joy. What I'm really angry and flay-y about is the fact that some ****wit deleted every last document and text file I had on the network. And I was the only one who that happened to. Only thing that was left was this swanky new avatar of mine. Oh ****, I just remembered that I should be studying grammar too.

Dude, then I suck.

Melechesh - Emissaries and the mysterium magnum

I doubt it can be salvaged, but worry not: the essay was barely halfway done. And it's expository, it's not like I need to argue anything. Thanks for the concern though, guys.

Well, it gave a real reason to get to writing, so, besides whacking my head against a wall, I'm writing now. The subject is interesting anyway, I'm writing about the concept of "American" identity and how much such writers as Locke and Paine had an effect on it during and right after the Revolution period. Then I shall write about Boston in the 1770's.

**** Somebody has deleted my expository essay drafts from the school network. I am going to flay that ****er alive.

Melechesh - Sand grain universe

About the light and darkside: I don't think you can interpret dark side as "eveil" or as the notion people seem to usually call evil. I think it's more likely that the dark side or "falling to the dark side" and all the insanity and skin afflections, etc that follow are just a backlash from the use of the force for acts that pervert or twist the natural order. Seizing control of life, killing or destruction all go under that. You could argue that since force exists in everything - in all living(Yuuzhan Vong doesn't count)- messing with the force is messing with nature and life itself. The act of playing god - seizing control of a life is nothing short of opression.

Yeah, I blame the board for having a quote-limit.

Nile - Execration Text And now: In Their Darkened Shrines I: Hall of Saurian Entombment

oh common! if we start being as radical as those islamists bombers, our society is screwed! I found it funny and i am christian. BTW, there was another animated gif with Jesus being ressurected by a "phoenix down" posted a few months ago on these boards. This one was funny too! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As an atheist pig who is going to hell, I find your lack of humor another reason not to ever take christianity seriously. Thanks for making me feel better about the void after I die, peeps! Rather laughin' than heav'n. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I rule so very much.

Will we spam this? Or talk about Social D's awesomeness? Inconsequently, it's 2:44 here and someone is playing acoustic guitar on the stairs. So good.

Argh, my quick-googling with lyrics was in vain.

Yeah, Jade Empire is really shiny. And not much else.

Borknagar - Inner Ocean Hypothesis

I had seen "Black Angel" before but couldn't place the artist. Heh, this guy is awesome. I might just have to get a new avatar. Unless I find something awesome by Justin Sweet. Edit: Metal Age influences! *fanboy-squeel* Sorry for the OT.

Thanks a lot. I'll just silently slink off the thread now.

As a christian, I find that offending.

Isn't all entertainment escapism? Mind you, I'm not putting any negative traits into escapism. I think it's well and good. I don't think there's any need for stimulation, and in my opinion it just follows that our imagination(if we go by the normal Joe's traits) is not lacking.

Borknagar - Traveller \,,/

TV simulates imagination, you could say. Which is why some criticize it for being dumb - you need to think less. Personally, I think the word 'simulate' is just missing a 't'. :D

The last texture is pretty great.
