The director of the movie also stated there was one big monster and it was a baby. Check the IMDB faq, it's neat.

If a CD is too skippy to play in a cd player I usually just use a program like IsoBuster and rip the iso and burn it to a new cd.

I have a ton of blank cds laying around and didn't want to spend any more money on/fully trust the idea behind a kit

I've never heard this, no.

I don't believe it because, well... the obvious reasons but it's a funny story.

If anything it's just more material to add to the brain that maybe when writing your own story that touches on these subjects some day in the future you can extract some ideas from. Which is basically the best use of urban legends for me.

It makes me think of this part in a horror movie series, forget what it's called, where a dude is playing a video game and then the game comes alive and chases him in a parking lot. I was always fascinated with that movie as a kid.

I'm thinking of downgrading back to cs2. I can't remember if there was a reason why I upgraded but whatever it is it's not worth the annoying.

No PSD thumbnails in windows is really one of the biggest deal breakers there is.

Keanu Reeves, obviously..

I guess I'll have to grow up and come out of my 256 colour cave if want to upgrade to the new AGS. What is with you people and your pngs and your 2008?!

If only Tiki was a thread reading man...

oh'snap

The closest to real that this scenario could ever become would be like 28 Days Later. A virus that infects our minds and makes us go crazy. You never die and come back to life, you just start eating people.

This, in decades time, could be quite possible. However, someone designing a virus with those distinct effects and having it released into the wild is a highly improbable... But I believe it could be possible at some point in time.

The interesting thing is that imagine that scenario for a story, a group of mad scientists create this virus. If we have the ability to do that we have the ability to create another virus or antidote to the virus. So it would infect a bunch of people and a new antidote would be released and everyone would be fine. Then the crazy scientists would be back to the drawing board.

It could be like a constant one-upping of crazy deadly super science.

I see your Teardrop cover and raise you a Teardrop cover!

If there's room at the moment put Jess and I down to maybes.. We're small and sleep in the same bed so we're basically one person.

We just need to get passports.

Shbaz, I'm glad someone brought that up. I wanted to say something about the religiousness of AA but I don't know anyone who's gone through it and have no experience with the place. Just what I've read.

I don't like the idea of taking someone who is not in control and telling them to give all control they don't have to The Jesus.

But he might immediately become interested in distended anuses...

It's tricky!

Nintendo is afraid children will get molested so they created the friend code system.

I give you my long friend code, you give me yours, we become friends over Wii or DS and then we can email each other and play like 2 or 3 games[?]

If they had an xboxlive style of friends system, this console would have so much more potential online. As it stands I think friend codes are going to be abandoned or kill the multiplayer aspect of games.

IN MY OPINION

It looks pretty good, need to see more colour to make sure that his arms aren't elongating in the middle of the fall but the only thing I think you could do to help this is remove some frames from the ending.

It happens too slow and the little slide his body does also happens after he has come to a stop which is weird.

Otherwise I look forward to seeing this completed.

His pants hurt.

I use it. It seems to do a good job. Noting that that quote from Wiki LimpingFish highlights is of the dubious and non cited kind all I can say is the only times I've had problems with Avira was when I was trying to run keygens from warez sites and it wouldn't let me because they had trojans on them. I've never had a false positive.

I had to switch from AVG because it caused horrendous stuttering issues with Team Fortress 2.

Have you by any chance read the popular mechanics article about this?

http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/military_law/1227842.html?page=1

I think that's it.

It was never supposed to be an argument, it was an admission.

Hehe ok, so you ADMIT to ignoring mountains of evidence! That's not much better!

Come on... I'm not the first person to use point out that grainy footage is an indication of a hoax... are you telling me you beleive in the Bigfoot video and all those UFO photos?... I have no doubt World Wars 1 and 2 happened, because My grandparents were there and told me about it (well WW2 at least).

Comparing landing on the moon which is supported by a mountain of verifiable evidence with bigfoot doesn't really work in my opinion. If ALL we had was grainy photos of the moon landing then maybe there'd be some doubt.

Also, anecdotal evidence is not the best evidence to help prove something happened. If I were to just listen to your grandparents talking about WW2 and then listen to some guy named Cletus talking about how they were abducted by aliens who turned him into a bigfoot... I'd have to believe or disbelieve them both equally unless they offered up evidence. Luckily for your grandparents they have a mountain of evidence. Sorry Cletus, I don't accept your hairy back as proof that you were a bigfoot!

Whats to say that the television was any more trustworthy in 1969 than it is now?

Take hundreds to thousands of scientists that worked on the various shuttles that went to the moon and cross reference it with the tv reporting along with all the documents and books and science done and you come up with a nice verifiable proof. We landed on the moon and what we saw on TV was correct. It's not just TV but everything else as well that verifies the news reports.

This insults me...
If only you knew how much I've read into this subject (both sides) since I was 12 (i'm 24 now, thats half my life), When The X Files was big and the internet was in it's youth... I used to be well into paranormal goings on and was a conspiracy theorist throughout my teenage years.  But I've since become an adult, and a logical one at that... I balance the arguments, take everything into account and come to my own conclusion (to which I think I'm entitled)...

Never said you weren't entitled to your own opinions, I hope I didn't come off that way.. And I apologize, you didn't say that you didn't know enough about the theory to back it up properly, you just don't believe it enough. But this just makes no sense to me. You don't believe in a theory enough [for various reasons?] to really argue about it but you WANT to believe it? Because it's more fun to distrust hundreds of thousands of people, millions of dollars wasted, decades of lies and lives lost etc... Doesn't sound like fun to me but to each their own, as you say.

Honestly, I'm interested if you read the Bad Astronomy debunking of Moon Hoaxers and if so what on there doesn't convince you? That's the more interesting discussion, I think.

The reason I pick the Bad Astronomy debunking is because it's a great collection of responses to claims so we can talk about them without having to say "There was a site once that said something about light bouncing? I can't find it now." and we can say "On page 3 I didn't accept the claim that... yadda yadda "

I always like to say the moon landings were faked. I don't know if I actually believe that or not, but it makes perfect sense to me why the Americans would have wanted to fake it (and Nixon, who was president during the same period, wasn't exactly squeaky clean, was he?).   There is indeed evidence to debunk the conspiracy thoeries.... but even those debunkings have some fairly persuasive counter arguments.

It's just an attractive theory and there's always the possibility that one day the 'truth' might be revealed, and those of us who like to believe they were were faked are hanging on to it, in the hope that one day we can say 'I knew it all along'.

this is the silliest argument I've ever encountered... It's not even an arguement, it's just a.... I don't know what it is. You're willing to ignore mountains of evidence just because you like a false theory?

It's a shame it took place in the grey days of black and white (and blurry) television, because it's always going to look dodgy even if it's real... it just seems to me that safely landing humans on the moon and bringing them back alive is something that might be doable now, but should have been impossible back then.

Do you also doubt the existence of World War 1 or 2 or the holocaust? I mean the footage is all grainy and you can easily see how they could have faked it all.

It was possible to go to the moon because the government and people were scared to death of the russians gaining any sort of superiority so they poured billions of dollars into research for years and years.

I suppose the only way to truly know, would be to go there yourself... and even then you don't know if your being duped?... A lot of people think that the likes of Neil Armstrong genuinely believed they were on the moon even though they were actually just in the middle of a certain compound in the Nevada desert.

Do you "believe" that there is a war going on in Iraq and Afghanistan? Do you "believe" in Guam island? Do you "believe" that I live in Troy, NY? I mean, you haven't been to these places first hand, this could all be an elaborate hoax! Do you know there are people in this world who actually believe they were REALLY fighting in the Iraq war when actually they were just in the Nevada desert.

What I'm saying is... I've learned not to come out with "I think it was fake", because I always receive a barrage of flame, and I don't believe that claim quite enough to back it up properly.  But you can't deny it's a sexy theory and it's easy to understand why some people are hanging onto it.

You want to believe a theory but you don't know enough about it. C'mon man, you're on the internet, at least give yourself confirmation bias and only read moon hoax sites to convince yourself that you're right! Or do some research [like read the Bad Astronomy link I added to this thread] and let's have a dialog about what's in that article that you still can't accept as evidence or find fishy.

Human beings walking on another celestial body is sexier than anything you can pretend happened. "Aliens gave us technology to beat the russians!" Nope, human beings figuring out a way to get human beings up into space and walking around on the moon is so sexy I'm popping boners just thinking about it.
