Why is this age limit set dammit!?

[Nacho]

Lol! Actually that is a totally normal sentence in "Iberican Spanish"... But not in "latin american Spanish". So we could say it's the latinoamericans who are muttering sentences!

*Note: Yak is talking about a well know joke about the differences between "European" Spanish and "american" Spanish.  Whereas in "my" Spanish shells (Conchas) and coger (To catch) mean that, fir Ciro Durán that "concha" will mean "pussy" and that "coger" will mean "fuck".

So, my "I am going to the bitch to catch shells" will sound in Ciro's mind like "I am going to the beach to fuck pussies"

newb, is just that, a newbie, a new person to any community
n00b is someone that acts immature and acts as a general bother on boards; one who exhibits a general lack of caring for forum rules or even tries to break rules on purpose.

that is why my games tagline was 'from n00b to newb', which gave the idea, that he would hopefully learn from his mistakes to become a better forum member.

... except that they're criticising legitimate exhibition art and I'm criticising a crudely-drawn Sonic posted on a forum for adventure game design. There's a big difference.

You're trying to proffer the idea that surrealism is a legitimate form of exhibiting one's own perceptions?

Compared to a polly-wolly crappy drawing of Sonic the Hedgehog? Definately.

But since you bring it up...

Your juevos surely must have enough mass to have their own gravity wells by now.

And my dick's the Milky Way. Jackson Pollack painted it into the picture above.

I don't disagree with your comments about the picture as such...It's just that we've seen older, experienced people drawing much worse and others paying millions for worse "legitimate exhibition art" paintings. At least he drew more than a black dot on white background, which shows some effort(?)

I admit anyone can criticise the validity of an abstract artist for painting a piece called "black dot in snowstorm". It's definately open to debate as to whether it's really art or not.

But we're not talking about someone painting a black dot and calling it art. We're not even talking about anyone being abstract.

We're talking about someone drawing a pretty much useless picture (adventure-gamewise) of Sonic the Hedgehog and posting it on an adventure game forum. Comparing the two is meaningless. Mainly because both are created for different purposes.

I mean, consider the purpose of drawing a picture and posting it to an adventure game forum. That indicates the possibility of... lo and behold... using it with an adventure game! If fluke made an adventure game out of his dodgy Sonic and it turned out to be good, I wouldn't be complaining. I've said many times, good adventure games don't need fabbo graphics. I've played great games that, as you say, have bad graphics. But a picture on its own of dodgy Sonic in the Critics Lounge? If it's all on its lonesome self, people are going to call it a POS no matter what. And that's why it's also difficult to compare the pic with commercial adventures. Commercial adventures have other elements that are enjoyable. Meanwhile, a crappy picture of Sonic is, well, a crappy picture of Sonic.

Sure he painted more than a black dot. But I'd expect someone who posts a black dot in the Critic's Lounge would get the same reaction -- locked thread. But if you made a great adventure game with that black dot, then hurrah! In fact, do an adaptation of Chuck Jones' 'The Dot and the Line' (one of the greatest animated short films I've seen).

It's a matter of purpose. And if a mod thinks someone isn't trying hard enough to the extent of purpose in the Critic's Lounge and locks a thread, then that's something people have to live with.

Just the fact that a 12 year-old knows what that is, is disturbing.Ã,  I think I was still obsessed with Transformers at that age.Ã,  Then again, we didn't have Teh IntorNet(TM).

I don't know what it is... And I've been told I have a twisted mind :

When the term bukkake is used in Japan, it usually refers to a method of preparing noodles and not the sexual act. (Also spelled bookaki)

Next time I go to a Japanese restaurant, I'm getting me some bukkake noodles!

[TerranRich]

I'll prepare some bukkake for you, DG.

Didnt read all, but can I just say that this is the nicest, most friendly forum I've ever been too because of the rules set, it means idiots when they arise learn their lessons quick or just leave.  For example, on the Garrys Half Life 2 Mod Forums, you can get banned for missing a capital letter or using "u","ur" etc.

I've been here since I was 14/15 and I've never been persecuted for anything I've done because of my age.

So to the dude who started this, wait a while, a lot of people on here take pride that the forum is a respectable and friendly place.  You just need to show respect back.

"Respect people, and they will respect you back, treat them greatly and they will show themselves to be great"

Garry's mod has such a large fanbase, and it's the worst kind of fanbase on top of that: FPS players. I like their banning system. It's not like people aren't warned before signing up. http://www.garry.tv/img/hidden_warning.jpg "We don't want another steampowered/gamefaq's on our hands!"

What, this thread is still alive? The issue is solved.

The issue is solved.

It is? Fine
