Positively Positive, Part 4 (Link 39)

The Lord says:

"...your eyes are fixed on your own dungeon walls.

72. You alone hold the key to the door. You alone can choose to leave your dungeon and step out into the light and accept the freedom I have given, the life I have given, the love I have given. When you accept this freedom, a whole new world opens up to you‚ and I am able to give you so much more. Your life takes on much more meaning and you are able to fulfill the purpose I have designed you for; you are able to live up to your full potential and use the talents I have placed within you"


An outdoor campaign, huh? I always figured I'd be rolling d20's with St. Peter in a water campaign, looks like the Lord likes outdoor one's too.
"You alone hold the key to the door" ...To bash open a dungeon door is a d.c.12. For a barbarian like me that statement is a lie... I GOT 2 KEYS BABY!

MOLON LABE!

Crysis... 2?

Crysis: Warhead isn't really Crysis part 2. Guys at EA figured they had this awesome graphics engine and should make more games from it. Cut out the FAIL asteroid swimming and 1/2 the levels and presto-bingo you have "Warhead". The entire game start to finish took me 3 hours to play.

Story line: You play Codename: Psycho, who is fighting the Koreans and the aliens at the same time Codename: Nomad is fighting on the other side of the island in Crysis. There is no story line. You interact with Nomad... never. You can't really fit much plot or gripping allure in 3 hours of play. If you played Crysis, you know whats gonna happen before it does (plus on this you don't get to fight the mothership from the USS Constitution).

Fun Factor: They removed the arena play. You grind from the beginning of one level to the end, load level 2: grind again. They also removed all need to use the suits different abilities. You can leave it on shield mode, equip the Scar or the type 56 and the Gauss gun and shoot your way through.



Graphics: Sweet! Exact same engine as Crysis. Same attention to detail. Same fully fleshed out environment. Plus from there I have proof Koreans read western girly mags.




Weapons: Fail! When there's so little options I get grumpy. Plus they cheaped out Warhead by removing the silencer effect from the assault rifles. You can snipe with a silenced Type 56. That and the pumped up the stopping power of the 9mm para round; it now is a more powerful round then the 5.56 Nato.

TAKE THE TEST

Gobby's

Big news, big news everyone.
T. Hunt has given up his day job to now exclusively work for "Goblins".
T. Hunt has done alot for the TSR world and has a cult following that probably matches Q. Tarantino. This means theres actually a chance T.F. 9 might even come into existance.

Go show some support and read his webcomic.

Sept 19th comes but once a year.

Brush off your pantaloons and fill your tankard with grog.
The bilge rats who refuse to partake of International talk like a pirate day shall be keelhauled


1 Growl - and scowl often. Pirates don't use a cultured, elegant, smooth vocalization - they mutter and growl.

2 Use pirate lingo. Sounding like a pirate isn't as hard as it seems! There are lots of resources for picking up pirate "lingo," so make use of them (some common terms listed below) in addition to trying to affect a vocal sound. Avoid using modern epithets (swear words). It's much more colorful (and kid-friendly) to use "pirate slang" for those naughty words.

3 Gesture with your hands frequently. Don't forget that pirates do most of their talking on the deck of a ship - out on the ocean, where wind, waves, and bird calls make it tough to hear. Gesturing often gives you a sense of "being there."

4 Run words together. Saying, "The boys and I were out for a lovely day on the water today" sounds like something you'd overhear at a yacht club, not out on the bounding main! Instead, try, "Me'n'these here scurvy scallywags drug our sorry keesters out t'th'ship'n'had us a grand great adventuaaarrr! We almost had t'keelhaul Mad Connie f'r gettin inter th' grog behind our backs!" Use contractions whenever possible. Be sure to punctuate often with "Arrrr!"

5 Never use "you" or "you're" - ever. Instead, use the piratical form, "yer" or "ya" for all forms of address to others. "Yer a scurvy bilge rat, ya pompous gasbag" or "Here's yer dinner, ya mangy cockroach." Note that you should always endeavor to call the addressee by some insulting name, usually involving an animal.
6 Embellish at will. A pirate is larger than life, and his or her speech should always reflect this. Don't just say, "We saw a whale off the starboard bow today." Say, "Me'n'th' crew seen a great grand sea beastie, th' mother of all whales, aye!"

7 Refer to yourself as "me" at all times, never "I" It is not piratically correct to say, "I have a cold." It is far better as a pirate to declare, "Got me a case o'th'sniffles, 'ass rye!"

8 More importantly, substitute "me" for "my" For example, don't say, "Look at my new sword," say "Lookit me new sword!." Also substitute "meself" for "myself" as in "Got meself a right fine ship!"

9 Mutter unintelligibly unless yelling. Being a pirate usually meant being liquored up to some degree - a lot of time, pirates were pretty mush-mouthed. In the step preceding, the term "'ass rye" actually translates to "that's right." Get it?

10 Be as loud as humanly possible. Pirates are not shy violets - stand tall, me hearties, and be counted!

11 Procure one dead stuffed parrot and sew feet to right shoulder of 2nd hand store jacket. This will put you in the mood to adhere to the above mentioned rules and guarantee an abundance of "yers and arghs".

Die Hard 2

Urban Myth.
In Die Hard 2: Die Harder, Willis is talking to the airport authorities about the fight in the baggage terminals.
He says "He pulled a Glock 7 on me! You know what that is? It's a plastic gun made in Germany. It won't show on your airport X-ray machines, and it costs more than you make in a month!"

Aside from the fact that theres no such thing as a Glock 7. Theres no such thing as an undetectable gun. Knives: YES, guns: no.

Glock as a general rule uses more polymers than any other commercially manufactured firearm. But even in the back pages and obscure named weapon companies, an X-ray machine can see a handgun.
The only way S.A.S. and Mossad operatives pulled off "non-X-ray" guns was by making the parts look like something else. Think the golden gun from Bond.

Bullet casings are made of metal, recoil springs are made of metal and even though polymers are see through theres still enough metal used in ALL commercial handguns that an X-ray machine would go off like a Christmas tree.

Even if a handgun that uses caseless ammo were to be invented, AND it was loaded with a ceramic head, AND the powder charge was buried enough to not be sniffed out by the bomb sniffers, AND a gunsmith came up with a way replace the metal frame and spring polymer guns seem to need, and ... etc; you think the government would let that knowledge go public and risk it falling into the hands of the "EY-rabs"?

H&K soccom came in a standard .45acp 12 round clip, S&W made a revolver that held 3 20-gauge shotgun shells. Uncle Sam buys blueprints and shreds them.

Airline Gripe sheet

After every flight, pilots fill out a form called a "gripe sheet," which conveys to the mechanics problems encountered with the aircraft during the flight that need repair or correction. The mechanics read and correct the problem, and then respond in writing on the lower half of the form what remedial action was taken. Here are some actual logged maintenance complaints and problems as submitted by Qantas pilots.

(P = The problem logged by the pilot.)
(S = The solution and action taken by the engineers.)

P: Left inside main tyre almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tyre.

P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.

P: Something loose in cockpit.

S: Something tightened in cockpit.

P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on back-order.

P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces 200 feet per minute descent.
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.

P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.

P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.

P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what they're there for.

P: IFF inoperative.
S: IFF unavailable for civilian aircraft.

P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.

P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.

P: Aircraft handles funny.
S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious.

P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.

P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.

P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget.

Calm like a bomb

Yes I spit fire
Hope lies in the smoldering rubble of empires
Yes back through the shanties and the cities remains
Same bodies buried hungry,
With different last names,
The vultures robbing everyone
Leave nothing but chains
Pick a point here at home
Yes the pictures the same
Theres a field full of slaves
Some corn and some debt
Theres a ditch full of bodies
The check for the rent
Theres a tap, the phone, the silence of stone
The numb black screen
That be feeling like home

And the riot be the rhyme of the unheard.

Harold Lee: After all the s**t we've been through, I don't... I don't know if we can trust our government anymore.
George W. Bush: Trust the government? Heck, I'm in the government and I don't even trust it. You don't have to believe in your government to be a good American.
Harold Lee: Why does everything has to be a huge argument with you, man?
Kumar Patel: Because this is America, dude, and as long as I have my freedom of speech no one's going to shut me up.

Hack the WHOLE planet??

The family eventually partakes in everything!

Don't know if yall heard the stunt that Jo Amaran*cough*thine (flips to page two) did on the glitch. Somehow he released that he had the new Metanoya album to which he was promptly debunked.

Someone jumped in on the fun and on claims a zero day release .nfo on the XD song (or so the spam I've gotten on it says).
This might all be hot air.

Either way, everyone loves the story of Robin Hood. Piracy is all about giving to the common man what the established empire wants to control. Luther and Tyndale were some of the greatest pirates to ever walk the earth.

You can have your feelings about the pirate, but without piracy our world as we know it would be a harsher version of Orwell's. Draconian laws pale to the might of the common man.

The world is my expense
The cost of my desire
Jesus blessed me with its future
And I protect it with fire
So raise your fists
And march around
Dont dare take what you need
Ill jail and bury those committed
And smother the rest in greed

If you haven't gotten spammed yet, wait 5 minutes. Heres whats passing around (not including the acsi garbage)

Imagine getting 0-day release G.N.'s? This is not a stance against leadership. This is a stand for the common man.

Oh, the places you'll go!

Dr. Theodor S. Giesel is by far one of the world's greatest authors.
I own almost all of his stuff. The only ones I don't own, are ancient ones I can't find available to purchase.

One of my favorites: "Oh, the places you'll go!"
Heres my favorite part of that book.

"You will come to a place where the streets are not marked.
Some windows are lighted. But mostly they're darked.
A place you could sprain both your elbow and chin!
Do you dare to stay out? Do you dare to go in?
How much can you lose? How much can you win?

And IF you go in, should you turn left or right...
or right-and-three-quarters? Or, maybe, not quite?
Or go around back and sneak in from behind?
-Simple it's not, I'm afraid you will find,
for a mind-maker-upper to make up his mind."

"-headed, I fear, toward a most useless place:
THE WAITING PLACE...
...for people just waiting.
waiting for a train to go, or a bus to come, or a plane to go
or the mail to come, or the rain to go
or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow
or waiting around for a yes or no
or waiting for their hair to grow.
EVERYONE IS JUST WAITING!
Waiting for the fish to bite
or waiting for wind to fly a kite
or waiting around for Friday night
or waiting, perhaps, for their Uncle Jake
or a pot to boil, or a better break
or a string of pearls, or a pair of pants
or a wig with curls, or another chance.
Everyone is just waiting."




..btw, if you know where I can find "The 500 hats of Bartholomew Cubbins" lemme know.
... "S." stands for Seuss.

P.B.S.

FEAH teh stoner POWA!

Around the time of the first crusade (1090) Cairo, Egypt was still being ruled by the Fatimide dynasty. The Leader of a small Shia sect of Muslims lead by a guy named Hasan-i Sabbah vied for the throne.
They were persecuted by the predominant Sunni population and slaughtered right and left by the Mongols.
Hasan was eager to get back at his enemies but lacked the numbers of an amassed army to do so.
Instead he got young men to hit the hash pipe and have happy dreams about what heaven was like.
Since any hash smoker knows the drug induced dreams are the most realistic pleasant closeness you'll ever get to your fantasies coming true, Hasan convinced his followers that what they dreamed of was their harems in the afterlife with their houris awaiting those who follow Allah's will. (Based off Marco Polo's accounts from his visit to Alamut in 1273)

Eager to secure their place at the end of the one way ticket, the "Hashish eaters" trained to become the "True left hand of Allah".
They used daggers and stealth to kill people others considered untouchable. So great was their stealth that even the crusaders in their fortified towers feared them (no one before thought to masquerade as a servant, open an new doorway in the dark side of your tent, and give you a few new orifices).
They never allowed themselves to be seen and rejected any weapon that might allow a witness to discuss them before dying (a.k.a. poison or crossbows). They also learned to fight only using their hands and feet in an old-school style of Kung-Fu. They tended to opt for public killings to up the fear factor and there is very few records of them killing innocent bystanders (They had the Sicilian idea of: you only need 1 bullet to kill 1 man)

The "Hashishin's" or "Hashashin's" fought with no honor, paying heed to Marcinko's 6th rule of combat: Thou are not judged by the means as thou art by the results.
The crusaders had a killer time remembering and pronouncing the cult's name (especially the rolled "h") and pretty quickly Christendom came to feah "assassins".

Next time you hear someone being called a true assassin check to see if his turban matches his shoes.
