Video Games / Imperian
« on: December 29, 2010, 08:08:11 PM »
Anyone play the MUD Imperian : Sundered Heavens? Get any presents from Ironbeard?
News:
A lot of people describe Scalzi’s Old Man's War novels as military science fiction, but I would classify its sequel Zoë’s Tale as a space opera. It’s a story about, well, Zoë, a teenage girl whose parents are invited to take leadership roles in building a colony on a new planet. Zoë is an enthusiastic member of the group sent to colonize Roanoke, despite the risks—and the risks are considerable even before the political machinations of greater powers boil to the surface.

Everything Else / Cuz I feel like it...
« on: February 10, 2010, 03:16:37 AM »
I feel like posting a poem:
Memory
By: Daniel Evan McGary
Where does my heart lay?
In a troubled past?
In a bright future?
What is life but a withering rose,
A rose lost in the tumult of emotions,
A rose long dead from the salt of tears,
Do you remember it's scent?
I then beseech you friend,
Keep it close,
That memory,
For with it you can achieve miracles.
P.S. Daniel E. McGary is me....

Brandon Sanderson / Gift: Elantris or Final Empire
« on: February 03, 2010, 05:16:35 AM »
So I know this girl (in fact I'm going to a dance with her next week, don't ask me why a college has a Valentine's Dance idk) and she likes fantasy mixed with romance, my understanding is she prefers semi-light reads (not hardcore stuff BSG likes i.e. Erickson which is so complex it can become muddled) and I think she would like Brandon's work. Should I get her Elantris or Final Empire.

Rants and Stuff / 1st Generation Power Rangers are bigots!!!!
« on: February 02, 2010, 09:53:28 PM »
Yep you read right, the Power Rangers you and I grew up with are bigots (I came up with these reasons in ECON 2301 when the teacher had to repeat herself for the umpteenth time)!
1. The White Power Ranger leads them, must be white supremest
2. The Black Power Ranger is a black guy with anger management issues.
3. The Yellow Power Ranger is Asian.
4. The Pink Power Ranger is a girly girl.
5. There is no Hispanic Power Ranger and the setting is California. Did they deport him/ her?
6. WHERE IS THE PURPLE POWER RANGER?
? I mean, this is California isn't it?
There you have it, Power Rangers are bigots.....

Everything Else / Where can i buy a phone w/o having to buy service?
« on: January 27, 2010, 12:46:26 AM »
My phone was sucked into another dimension after 3 years (and it was almost as old as texting and refused to break...pure awesomeness) I have Sprint service through my father (living at home and attending school has to have SOME perks right?) and refuse to buy a new plan. So does anyone know where i can get a rather inexpensive phone on the Sprint network?

Rants and Stuff / Do the ends justify the means?
« on: January 25, 2010, 10:01:46 PM »
This discussion was brought up in my government class when discussing if you should be able to pass legislation on faulty science (this came up do to the recent global warming scandal, it wasn't an argument over whether global warming exist). I personally believe you can justify the actions of every tyrant in history if you believe the ends justify the means, that includes Hitler. So I'm curious how you feel.

Rants and Stuff / Facebook Arses
« on: January 21, 2010, 10:46:22 PM »
There is a group on Facebook called "F*ck the Troops" and they wish death on our vets and ppl in the military. I do not support America's "Police of the World" mentality and by extension several wars we have been in, I DO however support our troops and this was uncalled for.... everyone should join the petition to get them off facebook!

« on: November 08, 2009, 05:56:19 PM »
We are now on a Holy Mission to destroy Chaos and establish a more perfect world.
Tenents of the Church:
1. Chaos is the root of all suffering (including hangovers and AIDs in Africa)
2. Eat, drink, and be merry
3. No pooftas (if you don't get it watch Monty Pythons and the Flying Circus)
4. Bro's before ho's (or vice versa for chicks and that does not imply that you are promiscuous)
5. The internet is a holy place for it is the body of the church.
6. Steve has the final opinion on if a book sucks or doesn't (though i can ignore him)
First order of business i need a high priest and some knights so we can wage war on Chaos...

Books / Authors undeserving of their fame.....possibly
« on: October 01, 2009, 03:15:27 AM »
Meyers is not listed b/c that would be admitting Twighlight was indeed a book. Something that "terribad" can not be written by any REAL author...it would be like saying WWE is actual fighting!
P.S. if you want an author added you need 2 nominations
