I just looked it up and it's holding down forward while holding down the left mouse button.

But that's not when people start calling you a 'noob' specifically for using the backburner. People only seem to call you a 'noob' when you kill them through the critical hits you get from attacking them from behind.

With You, SMS, Greenfrost6, FurryDemon and me, we've got a decent amount of Aussies/NZers, so we should get together in a server some time for a NG meetup of sorts.

I'm not sure which name I'm supposed to give for this.

My account name on Steam is i_man. The name I use when I'm on Team Fortress 2 is Aigis.

I honestly have no idea what that means.

You have to burn the rope.

Been playing in Australian servers, since they're the only ones that are open often, and have low ping for me.

There are a couple of NZ servers, but one's never open, and the others are instaspawn single map ones, and idle servers.

These servers always seem to contain people who insist on having inane conversations over mic. In Australian accents. Which is like the uncanny valley version of the NZ accent. It's both annoying and disturbing.

Anyway, people keep calling me a 'noob' whenever I use the backburner with the pyro. Is that the consensus in this club?

I think the fact that they'd get annoyed at such a thing is ridiculous in the first place.

I'm not really good enough with a mouse, nor do I have quick enough reflexes to reflecting projectiles. And I can never manage to pull off that airblast-axtinguisher thing. Though it's a lot of fun on maps where you can toss people off cliffs.

Plus it is so satisfying to sneak up behind someone with a pyro.

Excuse me.

I believe I have already made The Lamp.

Nope, these guys would probably agree with you.

Apparently the North-Eastern accent is the closest to the NZ accent. I got 100% North-East.

In any case, I think it's ridiculous when Americans say they 'don't have an accent' as some of the descriptions say.

You all have American accents. Every single person in the world has an accent. There's no default.

It's Dinosaur Comics, you guys.

Either they actually HD-ify the graphics this time, or they put it on the PSP (or DS, I guess), or I'm not getting it.

That's right, Nippon Ichi. If you don't do either of those things, you're going to lose a valuable customer. The exact value being the price of one game.

Some people like to feel artistic without any artistic ability.

Unless they go up to people and get up in their face about what amazing character designers they are, it's not really harming anyone.

He's just some sixteen year old kid who got lucky. Other than his fame, he seems just like any other effeminate sixteen year old.

Is it hard to get into university in Britain? I'm curious.

Over here you basically have to try to fail to not manage to get University Entrance (basically you have to pass about 30% of your cumulative assignments and exams in two of your subjects, and pass 60% of them in two other subjects. This can include subjects like Workshop Tech, Drama and Graphic Design).

"It's Super Smash Bros., but with gridiron instead of fighting!"

Or alternatively,

"It's Madden, but with Nintendo characters!"

Honestly, if you're going to come up with ideas in such a dull way, at least mix something interesting into it.

E.g.

"It's Super Smash Bros., but instead of fighting, you do a combination of space dogfights and underwater dance contests!"

Uh yeah, that's not the point.

ArtCow was giving away free mousepads to anyone with a Facebook account and 50 or more friends.

The OP of that thread told everyone that, and linked to the page where people could do that.

The link he gave was also a referral link. The people with the most referrals could also get something else free, but that was unrelated to the mousepads (it was a bag or something?).

So it was a situation where he could have just given the link to the website, or he could have done the exact same thing but with a referral link instead. It ends up with the same result both ways, and the guy maybe got a free bag as well as a result of his using a referral link.

So the question is: Will you be punishing people for them telling people about a site they would want to know about, and attempting to get something out of it yourself in the process?

Okay, bizarre topic.

The most satisfying jumping may well be Mirror's Edge, when you're in the middle of an uninterrupted period of platforming and you suddenly have to jump off one roof onto the next one.

Or perhaps the insane freefalling into bales of hay you do in Assassin's Creed.

What if you're actually wanting to tell everyone of a great site. A site that everyone would gain from knowing about?

Would it be wrong to give a referral link instead of a simple link to that site, then?

An example of this would be that thread about ArtCow giving away free mousepads. Everyone was happy that they could get free mousepads, and didn't care that the OP gave a referral link rather than a simple link to the site.

All of you should be ashamed.

It's a Tim and Eric sketch, not a 4chan joke.

Surprisingly enough, 4chan isn't the source of all humour on the internet.

I'm not going to get into the other meanings of the word, but when most people say 'ironic' what they mean is this:

There is a large difference between what we expect to happen, and what happens. What actually happens would usually have to be basically the opposite of what happens for the situation to be described as 'ironic'.

You would usually only call attention to the irony of a situation if the contrast between what happens and what is expected to happen is poignant in some way.

Very few people think that all smokers die young. Not everyone that smokes gets cancer, but the risk of certain kinds of cancer is significantly increased in smokers.

If you don't mind the increased risk, then do whatever you want. But "I've been smoking for X years and I haven't gotten cancer yet" is a terrible argument. Perhaps only some people get cancer, have heart attacks, have strokes, or develop emphysema as a result of smoking. But you shouldn't fall into the trap of thinking that that sort of thing only happens to other people.

You might go through life healthy as a horse (maybe even a healthy one, at that), but then again, maybe you won't. I'm fairly sure there is a consensus in the medical world that, on average, smokers are more likely to develop the previously stated illnesses.

And surprisingly enough, I'd much rather take the advice of countless medical professionals than that of some guy on an internet forum.

As far as I remember from physics, it will turn at a right angle to the direction of the wire.
