I did not mean for it to seem like I was barging into a thread and declaring everyone was dumb. So I apologize if I came off that way. I think there's a pretty good record of me hating the shit out of people that do that also.

What I meant by 'people' was more than people in this thread. I think it's a guarantee that there are people in the world [or this forum] that could care less about the Peace Prize, never give it a thought and when it was awarded last year didn't even bother to find out why the person won it, but as soon as they learned that Obama won it, all of the sudden it's very important to get answers as to WHY!!?! What did he do??!!?

I was making an honest query which I now fear was easily misinterpreted, posters in this thread seem to care and I'm curious as to why? What is the perceived impact of this prize being awarded?

I didn't listen to the whole mp3 but there is a possibility that it's just a mix of electronic music cross faded together for a half hour.

There are sites online where you can upload parts of a song and it will try and identify it for you

It being random electronic music might be impossible to identify it. It could be just local stuff someone made and got a radio slot to play it on.

I was serious Andail and I think there's more than enough in my post to respond to without trying to use sarcasm to make me seem like an asshole.

I find it curious that people even care. When was the last time anyone even thought of the Nobel Peace Prize? What about the other Nobel prizes? Are there people who won those that maybe didn't deserve it in comparison?

Does anyone here REALLY care? Do you hold the Nobel Peace Prize in such a high regard that it's worth getting upset over?

I mean shit, they gave the Peace Prize to Mother Theresa and she was horrible!

Zombieland was cute, I saw it last weekend. It's not Hollywood cheese, Woody Harrelson is not what I would call serious Hollywood big name, he was perfect in the role though.

Hey Indosity,

Had to lock this thread, sorry. Apparently some people can't help themselves when they see a thread they feel they can shit on so you got a lot of shit in your thread.

Also, if you don't have anything completed to upload it doesn't belong in this forum. If you have a SIGNIFICANT amount of work done, post a Games in Production thread after checking out this handy guide: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=1987.0

Your sprites are neat looking and I hope you continue with the game. If you have any questions on why this was locked go ahead and PM me.

Thanks.
Eric

The link came from lifehacker.com so take that as you will

Hey there, I started using Comic Gallery http://www.designmeme.com/comicgallery/ for my comic Tomb http://kafkaskoffee.com/TombComic/index.php this is after editing the code a little

All you have to do is upload an image and it'll appear automagically at the end of the list, you can even set it up so that every time you go to the page it defaults to the newest image you've uploaded.

It does not allow for a comments section but I didn't want that really.

If you find anything please let me know

I don't want to talk about it.

What about these guys?

http://www.livescience.com/strangenews/080624-amazon-tribe.html

Not trying to be snarky, I'm serious, what about those guys?

Hah Vince, that's like a story I'm semi-writing in my head about how the devil is trying to convince the world that god doesn't exist not to be evil but because he wants to give people that Get Into Heaven Free card for the rest of eternity

What a nice guy!

Again, point being we already have limited freedoms.

We also have limited religious freedom it just doesn't affect the big ones as obvious ways. So sarcastically loving people who think religious freedom is ok as long as it's limited is forgetting that it's already like that.

I love how so many think that people should have the freedom to believe what they like as long as they don't try and convert people. In other words, you're not allowed to believe that you should convert people.

You also can't shout fire in a theater but we still have freedom of speech so I think it's not too crazy!

Point being we already have limited freedoms.

Can you use this thread for all future updates to your game, please? Thanks.

My left hand has 4 fingers and a thumb on it as defined by the English language and verifiable evidence. The idea that in some infinitesimally small chance my hand could spontaneously turn into 8 children does not change that verifiable evidence and the idea that I could be a brain in a jar does not change it either since relative to my experience this is the truth..

But can your experience be trusted?

I was going to stop posting but HOLY CROW! Is that all you have to say? I can't see how you read what I wrote and then that's all you have to say.

Relative to my information this is the reality that I accept. I can ask myself "Can my information be trusted" and then test it and if it tests correctly then the information is trusted, if there is secretly an angel pushing everything I drop to the ground to test gravity and there is no way for me to know this then I conclude that gravity is causing objects to fall. IF THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY FOR ME TO KNOW SOMETHING IT DOESN'T AFFECT MY REALITY. So if I can't verify an alternate reality to the one that is currently showing me I accept that current reality. You do this every day, you know you do this. You couldn't function if you didn't do this. Please, please, please, explain to me exactly the steps I should do when I drop a ball and it falls to the ground. What are the thought processes I should run through and what should my concluding thought be?

Ok, so then your position is: in order to believe in anything you have to have faith therefore you can't know anything for sure, neener neener... I get it, I also feel it's a complete dead end for discussion because there is no where to go from there so, that's that I guess.

I also do not believe you understand probability but whatever. My left hand has 4 fingers and a thumb on it as defined by the English language and verifiable evidence. The idea that in some infinitesimally small chance my hand could spontaneously turn into 8 children does not change that verifiable evidence and the idea that I could be a brain in a jar does not change it either since relative to my experience this is the truth. Currently all points of information point to me having a hand with 4 fingers and a thumb, if there is information that I don't have that will point out differently, please give it to me. If there is information that I don't have that is impossible to know then it doesn't matter to my relative information.

Oh well, thanks for answering my questions though!

But it seems by your logic you also don't know if you're in a debate...

You're right, I don't know.

So then why do you keep posting? Again, I'm serious, I'm not trying to act dickish, I'm really seriously interested in what your desired outcome from posting on a thread that you don't even know if you're really posting or if anyone is reading this or if you're secretly everyone on these forums updating during a psychotic episode or you're really a unicorn in a field and this is how they perceive the world? Would you like us all to come around to your thought process and just stop talking? Or would you like people to post questions so we can just all talk about how we don't know anything for sure "Can someone recommend a game for me to play?" "No, I don't know if I've really played any games or if you're real so I can't make any statements on this matter."

re: unicorns. a horse with a carrot on it's head is not a unicorn. If someone makes a claim that a Unicorn is a horse like creature with a horn in it's forehead, a lion's tail, a goat's beard and cloven hooves and that the horn can neutralize poison, also sometimes only virgins can see them. There are claims that you can then refute. If someone presents you with a unicorn of classical definition, you look at it and see that a carrot is glued to it's head you can then state "This is a horse and there is a carrot glued to it's head" You're skipping the whole hypothesis part of your argument that anything can be true.

Well, I could have made a theory that it was a hybrid between a horse and a rhinoceratus or that a shift in quantum particles has made a fascinating change to animal's physical properties, but the carrot theory was the first thing, that I came up with. Anyway, the goal of it was to show how a man's stubbornness can not let one see anything contrary to one's beliefes, instead fetching explanations.

I think your goal was missed then. How about this, the bible says the earth is the center of the universe, someone comes along and says "I have math that says the earth is in fact not the center of the universe." People don't accept that because it goes against their currently held beliefs. 400 years later the church pardons this man for condemning him to house arrest and subjecting him to the inquisition. Now, I'm not making a statement against religion, I'm just bringing up something that actually happened [trust me..]

"From my data, math, models and observations it would seem that the earth does indeed revolve around the sun. Of course at any moment the sun can turn into a watch and the earth can eat a sandwich because man, anything can happen amiright?!"

Also, great, you have 2 theories now you're skipping the Testing the Hypothesis part of human behavior. You can make all the theories you want, but then you test them and the ones that prove false you discard. You do this every day of your life and you know you do and I think you're trying to play devil's advocate too hard.

CJ is a black woman from the depths of the sea. Do you think this can be proved wrong, Lionmonkey?

Well, I don't know, there's all kind of folks nowadays.

I'm serious, can you prove me wrong that CJ is not a black woman from the depths of the sea? Do you think it's possible? Is there anything that can be known? Is one of these things that CJ is not a black woman? If the answer is no, if there really is nothing that one can know and say "This is true" then what is the point of even entering this conversation. No matter what people say you can just go "YOU DON'T KNOW THAT!! NEENEER!"

Ok, thanks for answering!

Babar, just some small question to your points, you say that personally for you there is more than the senses can attest for. How do you feel there is more? You sense it some how, right? Traditionally, if something goes beyond the senses of the body the only way to know it's there is with machines or some sort of experiment that shows a hypothesized result.

Humans can not sense X Rays however we know exactly what they are and how they work and how to use them. Humans can not use their eyes, fingers, mouths or ears to sense viruses but we have built extensions of our body that allow us to see and touch them. Humans used to accept the emission theory but then we used our senses and extra-sensory machines to reverse that belief.

Would you say that through using your senses you have come to accepting a certain truth about the universe and this truth is that there is a god or something outside of the physical world?

Basically, something in the physical world made you believe in a non physical world, right?
