Fuck you I'm Pretty.

Especially with a haircut or three.

In my defense, this pic was taken at... 3am? I lost count. Too busy arting.

Sorry man, but all I got from that was a load of shit. I read through it, scratching my head more with every turn, trying to figure out where these authors and articles that you quote got their... opinions. Doom and Naysayers, attempting to impede progress with well-intentioned but completely bullcrap fears.

I've heard the same exact fears, in a different skin, from homophobes and racists, worrying that because "A" is happening, among path "B", "C" will happen. Bullshit.

I could argue that information piling has been happening since the first encyclopedia, and dare these peoples to go ahead and get their computers to write a novel for them. I could say that anonymity has happened since the first account of vandalism, that Hive Minds have been happening since... well, who knows when the first mob was, and mobs will continue to happen regardless.

It's technophobic drivel, and I hard a hard time stomaching. For the sake of forming a cohesive argument, I'll answer the questions for you - those were the highlight of the 3 posts.

1) How do you envisage the future of our computers?

There's no question that computers are going to take over a lot of the menial chores for humans - just as servants did the exact same thing in days gone by. I can clearly envisage, visualize, humanity in the future dedicating lives to ones of pursuit in the Arts and Science, in Leisure and Socializing.

This dependence on computers is very real - each day, driving Humanity to be more intellectual as a whole, to basically encourage humanity to pursue their goals without fear of being "stuck" in menial jobs that lead nowhere.

It will shape society. But as a tool, an immense, ground-braking tool able to grant insight into the furthest reaches of mystery.

2) How do you envisage the future of the internet and web 2.0

I'm going to be honest, I had to Google what Web 2.0 actually was. One swiftly ordered crash course later, and I can honestly so that, socially, I expect it to ponder along as it is. Sites and programs will be created for convenience and distraction, but I don't expect it to radically change from the moment the teenage demographics got its hand on the internet in the first place.

Supply and Demand, that sort of thing. It'll just go along whatever paths it wants. Commercially.

3) Do you support or oppose anonymity online?

Support, of course. Being anonymous is a choice, always has been. If one chooses to protect their identity from a world they don't trust, then by all means I encourage it. Hell, you don't give out your name and address to every stranger you meet, do you?

It's essentially the same thing (giving out details, at all, paths the way for further intrusion into privacy), albeit with perks.

Not everyone means well.

4) What impact have computers and the internet had upon you?

I use it to connect to the world. I'm isolated, have been for a while, and without the internet my time spent in a country town, literally in the sticks, would have been... maddening. I can't connect to anyone here. They know it, I know it, and we all gave up trying a while ago. Can stand each other in small doses, but I tend to think along a different path, have an absolutely different interests (I like to discuss art techniques, literature, and video games, while the majority of people here like sports and simply social happenings. See the problem?) to absolutely everything else here.

It's my tool, my link to the world. Computers gave me a way to express myself, to learn about the world, and to pop open a cock joke without fear of reprise, or awkwardness.

5) What do you wish you could do with technology?

Nothing more then what we are doing - studying the stars, connecting with the world, making life more convenient. It's coming along nicely.

Lol, Anon as a group.

And other then post scat porn everywhere over WBO, I'm not sure what they're going to do. I missed that bit.

Do want. I'll take care of it.

Anti-Jokes. Gotta love them.

Do us a favour and learn how to english. kthx

As for myself, still in highschool doing mostly Maths and Physics, while blowing off Steam arting at home. Works.

The kids are more recognized. It makes sense.

I can Google.

Good as the real thing.

Wow. You liked the mainstream games of 2010. How surprising.

Aperture Science is pleased to announce its contemporary alternative to modern-day muffin edibility.

Aperture Science is also pleased to present with this two interesting facts:

Did You Know?That 4 of 5 muffins that are not Aperture Approved Condiments inevitably result in malignant brain tumors?

Did You Know? That the Aperture-Brand Muffin is an Aperture Approved Condiment?

Eat Aperture. You know it's right.

DNF, Dues Ex: Revolution, Portal 2, Battlefield 3 now.

There's a fairly long list, that's just a 5-second thing.

Assholes who take the system of education for granted.

Men strive to be objects of sexual attention. I don't see anyone complaining overly much.

I find ignorance to be far more damaging then cold calculation ever is. So, let us go for that. Convert this dipshits not out of religion, but into education - real education, not the propaganda being fed to them.

Honestly, it's pretty much everyone's fault.

Galaxy Quest, u so crazie.

I seriously don't have anything under my bed. My rooms clean. Go me.

Not for long. But yes, I could, with enough common sense and as they always say, hunger is the best sauce.

Hot Damn - my favourite video games of all times, the ones that have survived both the test of time to earn their places into my hearts, would have to be Dead Space and Portal. I heart them long time.

My favourite are fantasy and sci-fi settings - when and how is interchangeable, I'm not too picky. Dead Space, Portal, DA:O, it's all good. It's just meant to be something far away from reality, not some attempt to edit it into a video game - I'm not too much a fan of contemporary war games, either.

Happy birthday AwesomeSaurus! Don't die right now. That would suck.

"Motivation will always trump mere talent"

Has to be one of my favourite quotes of all time, and frankly it's incredibly apt right here. Some people have an affinity for art - they see the world different to begin with, notice the slight artistic backdrops, their hands draw curves easily, and the world lends it's arts to them.

But at the end of the day, we all started out drawing stick figures. Its just those who stuck with drawing them, and getting better at it, that ended up so good. Harder for some then others.

pffbh. That's no flaw, or bad quality, simply a sign of supreme life-formnism.

I myself make it a point of fact to keep people at a distance and am an introvert of sorts. I derive quiet satisfaction from being alone.

Eh. Bitches. I honestly don't care - bandwagon hate is fun, but its a novelty and it has fully worn off.

Not for a while now. I forgot about it.

That's actually all I want out of it. BF2, but updated to modern standards. That's all my expectations are. They can change the formula, make it better, so long as they deliver it.

As for Mirror's Edge, I immensely enjoyed the original - a game purely about speedrunning appeals to someone who likes to have something catering to an adrenaline rush (not like the real thing, but the real thing doesn't come with a nifty HUD either :3) and it's a great game.

Frankly, if Assasin's Creed had taken a few more pointers from Mirrors Edge, then running around their map might actually have been fun.

I'll hope. Not overly, but I'll hope.

I wouldn't give a damn. Competition is good for the market, and that's about where I stop caring. Actually arguing with gaming platform is the best is delving into depths of nerdiness and fanboyism that I really just don't want to touch on. Ever.

Look on the bright size - there's now a legitimate reason for Mario to crush peeps with the sheer force of his body weight.

Revive arcade publishers? Shit, Arcades are done. Finished. Soulmaster pretty much said it - it's no longer to be the "in" thing to be gaming, hasn't been for a long time, and frankly I'll doubt it will ever come back to the point where arcades are a profitable, lucrative business.

I'd love for Arcades to come back as much as the next gamer, but I just don't see publishers investing in it.

Ugh, no. Egalitarianism ftw, thank you. If that shitty socially repressing political stance ruled my country I'd gtfo to somewhere else.

It's just an IM, and an email inbox if you need it be. Don't pay attention to its propaganda, gossip, and other shitty features.

I just sucked off one of the current mods and got a years membership free.
