Re: Elemental's Excitingly Excellent Random Banter: No.CLXXVII
Bass practice is paying off. I have been able to play all the basic "marching band" songs that guitarists learn to play as beginners. I've moved onto practicing (privately) songs like Thunderstruck, T.N.T., and Another One Bites the Dust (learned it an hour ago, and I can already play it very nicely).
This is turning out to be a good investment.Steam username is Triscuitable.
I got VAC banned in COD: Ghosts for using an FOV changer.
I try not to think of how sad that is.

You know, I'm starting to think that the college age and beyond people don't WANT me contributing to their conversations.

Grah. Mistakes were made. Post was accidentally deleted when I wanted to edit. Brarrrgh.
Anyways, this Nintendocore intrigues me now. I shall go to sleep and listen to it tomorrow when I wake up. Good night to you all.Avatar by Serpentine.

Re: Elemental's Excitingly Excellent Random Banter: No.CLXXVII
Happens all the time.
On a similar note, I've once conquered pretty much entire Central and South America as Sweden once in Europa Universalis. And nuked Moscow as the same in Hearts of Iron II. I've heard from dad that the original Europa Universalis (the board game, that is) is more realistic: you conquer a region with the wrong religion and suddenly you're all up to your neck in various revolts. Expanding your territory is apparently nigh impossible.
I don't know what I would do if I could play music. Probably wreak havoc when trying to do something creative...
No, I think I'll just stick to making up music videos in my head for songs I hear (and like). I have a fair share of them now and it's a shame that I don't possess any animation software to realise them with. Especially the latest one (for Life in Technicolor II, and it's kind of silly that I haven't come up with it until now, given that that song has been my favourite for quite a long time), because it's quite perfectly suited for being animated in Flash (or any equivalent thereof), and possibly also awesome.Clouddreamer Teddy by me, high above the world, far beyond its matters...

Re: Elemental's Excitingly Excellent Random Banter: No.CLXXVII
Well. I like to listen to music more than I like to make music. My own music kinda sucks when compared to real musicians, but yeah, I share your view.
Of course, when I still lived at home, I used to get woken up Saturday mornings by my mum playing Rachmaninov or something. The joys of having a music teacher for a parent, heh.
That reminds me, I had a dream the other night where I was playing the lute. Hmm. My dad used to play the mandolin. Maybe he can teach me.Awesome fremetar by wxdruid.
From the discomfort of truth there is only one refuge and that is ignorance. I do not need to be comfortable, and I will not take refuge. I demand to *know*.
So I guess I have an internets? | And a trophy. | And a music cookie (whatever that is).

I love the pizza box one. You won't even see it until you start opening the box.

Re: Elemental's Excitingly Excellent Random Banter: No.CLXXVII
Don't do it. Its just the evolving crappy dubstep being death metal now. I really only have words for it that I shant use in this semi polite company.
Oh, so it's crap and tears mixed together?
I find it crap. (As one can see by the influx of the word in this post.) Not interesting really, it just reminds me of the terrible dubstep remixes and taking it to a whole new level of wrong.
I preferred the wet road sign. That was great.Last edited by Mutant Sheep; 2012-05-15 at 06:35 AM. Reason: Typo y u hat me?

Re: Elemental's Excitingly Excellent Random Banter: No.CLXXVII
I thought Old English was hard.
It's very much like German, but I just know I'd get the pronunciation wrong.
However, don't assume I know German because I haven't studied it for six years and I'm extremely rusty at it and didn't learn very much because I was thirteen at the time.Mauve Shirt, Savannah, Gnomish Wanderer, Cuthalion and Smuchmuch get cookies for making me avatars. (::)

Re: Elemental's Excitingly Excellent Random Banter: No.CLXXVII
Of the road signs, I actually liked the "SIDEWALK ENDS" one best (it might be my overall favourite as well). I mean, there tends to be some explanation behind behind a seemingly reduntant sign, but in that case, I just think someone had a little too much money and nothing to do with it. Either that, or insanity.
Knowing a Germanic (and preferably Scandinavic) language helps a lot in understanding Old English. I guess it must be the easiest to those who can speak Icelandic, as that's the closest you'll get to the old Norse language that influenced much of the English at that time.Clouddreamer Teddy by me, high above the world, far beyond its matters...

Re: Elemental's Excitingly Excellent Random Banter: No.CLXXVII
Not to be a killjoy, but...
"This is the other door" - That is a double door, a sign that says "Use other door" in that position may confuse people because many people assume (and quite legitimately so, I know I would) that the first sign refers to not using the entire double door.
"Sidewalk ends" - It may seem obvious, but when you are riding on a bike or other device, it is useful to have quite a bit of warning. Especially when, as is the situation in that case, the sidewalk not only ends, but the ground becomes a slope that is no longer suitable for travel.
"Open box before eating pizza" - This one is obviously a joke...
"No signs" - Obvious paradox aside, this one is quite legitimate.
"Water on road during rain" - While it may seem obvious, I'm guessing that particular part of the road accumulates much more water during rain than normal.
"Unlock door before entering balcony" - If the door is locked, obviously it needs to be unlocked. But that is not what this sign is for, it's to tell people that the door remains locked and remind them that they need to unlock it.
"This property is not for sale" - Guess it was in a very desired area and they got sick of all the requests.

Re: Elemental's Excitingly Excellent Random Banter: No.CLXXVII
Yes, they're very conservative when it comes to their language, and generally chose to make up their own words rather than importing them. I guess the best moment of sudden realisation for me when it comes to the Icelandic language and language was when I at an intermediate landing in Reykavik realised that the Icelandic word for "arrival" has an inherently positive tone to it, while their word for "departure" likewise has an inherently negative tone. I suppose that's what living on a scarcely populated island will do to the language...

Re: Elemental's Excitingly Excellent Random Banter: No.CLXXVII
But because it's that isolated, no one even bothered invading it. It didn't hold any strategic value at all until WWII, when the USA used it for intermediate landings. Then they realised that hot springs make for cheap electricity, so it's become a home of many aluminium industries as well.
