This topic is for discussing non-gaming subjects, like politics, religions, or anime. I'll let a lot slide here, but be careful what you wish for.

That said, I do still have some rules here, and for the forum, in general, since we had some problems before. Most of them are covered in the Invision TOS. Since these forums are free to me, I would appreciate if you all abide by them, so that these forums are not taken down.

http://www.invisionfree.com/tou/

Most notably in the prohibited content from the TOS:
- Abusive/racist behavior, including serious arguments and personal insults
- Pornography
- Excessive profanity

I don't think anyone should have a problem with this here. I also have a Two Strikes Policy in place now. Those who violate the policy will get a warning, but no punishment. A second violation will result in a permanent ban and IP address block. In short, just behave like a decent human being, and you should be fine.

Have fun!

act like a decent human being? ok :)
FIRST!1!!

Oh yay, you opened a new one. :D I thought you said you were trashing this.

Yeah...

It gives me more chances to bash non-game media, so what do I care?

There are things outside of gaming? This is news to me. :o

There's anime, but not much else. <_<

But the Puppies and Kitties

There's also politics to make sure we'll be depressed at one point or another :)
Also what about comedy shows and good movies? :(

I don't think anyone would mind talking about comedy shows or good movies.. but a lot of the time, it literally is just anime.

Good movies?

Why I never....

I can't remember the last time I saw a good movie. Maybe the last Star Trek movie. That was kind of cool.

That reminds me. I still haven't watched The Goonies. I'll make that today's objective.

I don't see a lot of movies but when I do watch one they're normally good though not that spiecal which is the case with all of the movies I've seen that were released this year and in the last one

I haven't met a single person who disliked that film.

I started watching the Illusion of Gaia LP when that came up.

That was last year.....

Did anyone enjoy Wrestlemania last night?


It seemed like a pretty paint by numbers type of show. I was able to predict just about every result, except I didn't think Kane would beat Randy Orton and I definately didn't think they were gonna let The Rock beat the golden boy John Cena.

I'm not too broken up about Daniel Bryan losing in 18 seconds...HHH got crushed by the Ultimate Warrior in his Wrestlemania debut, so its not the end of the world.

The Hell in a Cell was brutal and both Taker and HHH worked their butts off to have a good match. It was awesome. But since I am more of a fan of old school wrestling, I enjoyed Punk vs Jericho more. I was so into the match, begging Punk not to tap to the Walls of Jericho. I was so glad when Punk made Jericho tap to the Anaconda Vice.

I haven't been to a movie since the muppets. I need to see more movies.

I watched K-PAX in an english class recently. Had to write a review about it.

Teach then asked if she could show my review to the class because it was 10/10 and she wanted to show them "this is how you do it" B)
The movie itself was pretty good.

Uploaded the SCD versions of these two songs yesterday cause I was sick and tired of people only posting the PS1 and Saturn versions:

Dragonship Destiny
Field to Tomorrow

Call it shameless self-advertisement if you want to, I don't care. :P

Indeed, i watched it. Thought it was one of the best recent PPV's i've watched. But like you, as i've watched it for a tremendous amount of time i could predict most of the results correctly, but was surprised The Rock beat Cena. I figured it'd be, Cena winning and them two shaking hands, and the whole thing being over.



I greatly enjoyed it though, all the matches were decent, even the diva's one lasted longer than five minutes for once!

And then you blame me for spamming :P

Well, I don't music post anywhere near as often as you do...

The movie itself was good, but don't get me started again on how they screwed the canon. I know most of the movie takes place in an alternate timeline, and that's cool. However, they dumped a major event into the original timeline before splitting off. Yeah, let's destroy Romulus and make all the related plotlines of Nemesis and late DS9 totally pointless...

huh, thought you were getting rid of this cause it dosen't do you anything and blah blah blah, but I know the truth. You started to enjoy it a little bit over time, because it gave you a place to say gripey things or talk about root beer and even you have to stop gaming long enough to take eat and sleep, and might have a funny dream to talk about. :P

Either way, coo! :D

True true :P

I failed to watch the latest MLP before the video was taken down...

So how bout dem not video games, eh.



Seriously I barely do anything than play video games and very loose DnD.

There's real music!

That and I don't like anime much at all....

so..are you a lvl 14 paladin who uses his helm of disintegration to do 2D4 damage while my half-elf cleric heals your light wounds? <_<

*waits for it..*

There's what? Oh... You mean music not from video games... Yeah no thanks I got my vgm to listen to :P

The Accuracy mechanics in DnD (well, 3rd edition at least as that's what I know) annoy the hell out of me. Whiffing battle until level 7 ho.

DOn't ask me anything else about DnD. That's really all I remember.

Controversial Opinion time

Real music > VGM

And I like VGM stuff, but it can't replace a good old fashioned album from an actual band for me.

eh, I think it goes song to song. Some hit me some don't, regardless of band, orchestra, etc etc. VGM..not VGM..dun matterz :D

Well, it matters on what you want to listen to. VGM music does some things better than "Real" music does. But yeah, Real Music is basically so much better.

Anyways, saw the results and some footage from Last Night's Wrestlemania. I figured Rock would beat Cena. It not only cemented Rock's legacy, but also provides a direction for Cena, most likely a heel turn. Think about it. What is there left for Cena to do? He could spend the rest of his career as a Face, and I wouldn't mind, per se, but in terms of what he has accomplished, he's pretty much done everything a face could do. Even some of the best faces in wrestling, like Hulk Hogan, went heel and it did wonders. Of course, that's the biggest heel turn in WWF/E history. Just look at this crowd react.

So, if Cena wants to accomplish more, perhaps a heel turn really is in order. Obviously, it would certainly drive the kids away, or turn them heel in nature as well :) , and while I like the fact that younger people are watching wrestling, we need a lot more attitude in the WWE again.

considering the fact i never actually listened to music for fun before i started hearing VGM and that i still didn't find any song from outside a game that i like i think it's obvious what i like more :P

It can go either way for music with me. Just because a certain type is more mainstream does not make it better. If I had to choose between listening to Strawberry Fields, Dancing Mad, or Winter Wrap Up, it'll matter on my mood at the time.

Well link, you DO realize that "real music" is quite diverse, and there's a shit ton of different styles between them? Kind of hard to listen to one song and say "Yeah, I don't like real music".

when you say one song do you mean 13 years of trying hard to find songs that i like until i found VGM?
trust me i heard a lot..... pretty much most of what you can throw at me now is probably something i HAVE heard before already more then once and didn't like

and yeah in my head im not saying i hate real music
im saying i haven't found yet a song outside of a game that i enjoy
also why REAL music?

vgm is music and it's real the last time i checked
it's just different

Awesome music time

Okay, I couldn't find the song by itself, but any time that song plays, it's a real, "Oh shit!" moment.

I think this song would be appropriate here. ;-)
