I'm well aware that many people were victims of World War 2, but I'm one of those people who believes that the definition of the Holocaust pertains to the systematic killing of European Jews, I don't include those caught in the crossfire as I don't perceive them to be the primary targets of the Nazis.

Uh huh.

I really don't think that the systematic killing of millions of Poles, Romani, people with disabilities, Jehova's Witnesses and homosexuals (and others that I can't remember) by the Nazis can really be considered being 'caught in the crossfire'.

They were victims of genocide by the Nazis, not victims of World War 2.

Thou shalt not worship false idols.

Myself. Fuck yes.

6 : What's your favorite meal?

Mie Goreng.

7 : What's your favourite type of car?

Rocket.

8 : which Newgrounds user of the opposite sex would you date?

Don't know any of them well enough to comment.

and if you're gay... WELL I AIN'T CHANGING THE QUESTION AND KEEP IT TO YOUSELF

9 : Would you like to found a family later? / Do you currently have a wife / husband and child(s)?

I suppose I'll have to figure that out when I'm in any danger of having to decide.

10 : What's your opinion on Barak Obama?

He's pretty boring. He doesn't do anything. He's not even my president.

11 : If god could eradicate the idiots from the General Forum and spam from Newgrounds, would you be happy?

Of course not. We need the idiots to make ourselves feel good.

12 : What's your favorite video game?

Final Fantasy X.

13 : Which console do you prefer?

Playstation 3.

14 : Have you bought Alien Hominid or Castle Crasher? If yes, how do you find it? If no, why don't you buy it??

I'm not into those sorts of games, really.

15 : Would your buy a NG T-Shirt, NG Stickers or any other NG merchandise?

No. I don't much like the designs of the t-shirts, and I don't have any use for anything else.

16 : How much time do you spend on Newgrounds every day?

Too much.

17 : What are you proud about your Newgrounds account? (That can be everything if you think you are so awesome...)

I'm not.

18 : Do you have a goal on Newgrounds (example, doing 40K b/p in one year, making 10K posts, becoming mod, etc.)?

No.

19 : After two years and a half or so, what do you think about the new layout, and all the new stuff that has been implemented in Newgrounds since the re-design?

It's really pretty much the same, isn't it? Everything's balanced out by good and bad. Blogs allow you to post things you couldn't on the forums before, but things you could post on the forums before are now filled with shouts about having to put them in your blogs (e.g. story threads. I miss them.)

20 : What is the most important thing on the BBS according to you?

The speed at which the threads are posted in.

21 : If you could change your user name again, what would you change it to?

I wouldn't.

22 : If you would say one thing to Tom to get a better Newgrounds, what would you say?

We need centred images in the BBS. Like what we've got in userposts. It's much more aesthetically pleasing than locking them to the side of the page.

I've never heard of someone killing themselves because they were too happy. Your theory falls flat.

Here. Have fun.

Considering the entire thing was a ham-fisted metaphor for Earth-based conservationism, that statement makes little sense.

Well sure. It's not as if there are THAT many people who would refuse to watch an anime just because they could only find it in dub form.

Also, like I said decide for yourself what sounds better as opposed to a pessimistic outlook on what you THINK sounds better.

Usually it just feels more authentic to watch it in sub form. These cartoons were designed to be watched in Japanese.

I tend to be particularly fussy about it when the cartoon is actually set in Japan, or has been influenced by Japanese culture in a particularly obvious way. It would be weird watching, say, Paranoia Agent in English.

When it's set somewhere else, I'm less fussy about it. Especially when, in the original, it was implied that the characters were speaking in English (e.g. Black Lagoon).

Hey!

There's a spider on your back!

I'M GONNA RIP AND TEAR!

RIP AND TEAR ITS GUTS!

Hey, if I was watching, for example, a French cartoon, I'd do my best to watch it in French.

I WANNA BE BATMAN.jpg

American pronunciation is 'rath'. British pronunciation is 'roth'.

It all comes down to whichever sounds right to you.

Because short people get shit for being short.

What's the reverse of a fanboy, with hate instead of love?

As far as I can tell, Lightning is pretty manly.

In the figurative sense, of course.

Wow, what a ridiculously broad question.

I'd have to start comparing paintings to films, sculptures to books, plays to music. I find that it's practically impossible to decide what piece of art I liked best across all media.

There's just too many pros and cons to each type of art that I can't pick the best piece out of all types.

I mean, do you ever hear people go "yeah, I much preferred Jaws to The Scream"?

Lord of the Flies?
Where the Wild Things Are?
Taxi Driver?
Whale Rider?
The Exorcist?
In America?

Grey skies are gonna clear up.

It's called generalizing you tool.

I know what it's called, geez.

I'm being cocky, full of myself, and being the biggest dick possible.

It's crazy, huh.

Art.

But in order to comply with the Art Forum's rules, you'd have to post an example of a T-Shirt design that you drew in the opening post.

Pretty normal, I guess. Eyes, nose, mouth and ears like everyone else.

Yeah, but nobody wants fat chicks anyway.

Aside from the fact that I think that Brutal Legend was a good game, Brutal Legend really had all the humour that made people like Psychonauts in the first place. If you buy a Tim Schafer game, it's pretty damn likely it's going to have some good humour.

Pretty sure he already did that.

Apparently Farfetch'd is delicious.

Comes with its own leek.

Her frequent tendency to go off-tune combined with her singing being incredibly boring leaves me unimpressed.

My short experience with Xbox Live:

"FAGGOTFAGGOTFAGGOTFAGGOTFAGGOTFAGGOTFAG GOTFAGGOTFAGGOTFAGGOTFAGGOTFAGGOTFAGGOTC HEATINGFAGGOTFAGGOTFAGGOT"

Then I went back to the single player game.

Final Fantasy XIII is not coming to PC.

But instead of making me go through this ridiculous application, they could just offer these games on Live Arcade and allow me to download them and play them the way any other downloadable game is played.

Whatever way you take it, it's just an extra step I'd have to go through to get to my games.

I seem to remember that Shadow Complex was rated very highly.

I'm willing to be that a 2D Sonic game with 3D HD graphics would do very well.

My Xbox has a 'games' menu from which I can play the live arcade games I have downloaded.

Why would I want to load up this 3D hub to play live arcade games instead of just loading games from that menu?
