Got really lucky finding easy and/or short games, working my way backwards from the medal games list. I've played so many older games offline, it's slightly easier to get the points on record, second time around... still have a few old game saves left, slowly working my way into them as well.

I'd say neither. You can be paranoid as well as intelligent, or just one of them, or neither. They're not reated at all.

If this was the bonus question, where was the actual question?
Protip: Question marks.

"In your opinion, what constitute a good writing system in the modern world?"

I even threw in some quotation marks.

English would probably be the best, because of it's ubiquity across the globe, and for it's ability to form complex ideas, with a minimum of space (unlike some German words, lol)

Most of them, yes. Some of them are taught these extremely sexist ideas, which is really sad in a way.

Respect for women was on the uptick, till about 1992, when gangsta rap was being heavily promoted by the music execs.

It's also a bit of a terror campaign saying "See ladies? This is what would happen if you friendzone a guy" which literally translate to "You will be shot and killed if you do this."

Propaganda these days starts with the public, gets picked up by the media, then gets spun. In my life, I've seen the population of this planet more than double. Yet violent crime is down in the States. The media, instead of focusing on politics and communities, focuses on manufacturing a market for the public's foibles. Here's a perfect example.

That's fucking sick.

Imagine what hasn't been reported on? With this case, you had guns, women, and a properly self-documented psycho. Total gravy train for the corporations peddling the seeds of propaganda. But even then, police departments are pressured to perform like the corporations, and as such, also 'cook the books', renaming crimes listed in public ledgers.

Tron was good but Tron: Legacy was terrible. Legacy was all about the special effects and not so much the story which was basically a repeat of the original story with a small twist. I thought you may have posted Fantasia, that's my choice for best Disney movie.

Yeah, I agree. They certainly could've added more pointed dialog, and played down the digital grandeur. As for making the movie more a sequel than a 'revisiting', I think they walked a fine line between the two, not wanting to skunk funding by writing something more unique (fuckin' Hollywood).

FANTASIA.

My Mom saw her first movie in the late 1940's, and it was a beat up copy Fantasia. But her favorite Disney toon was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. When she made apple pie, she always remembered Snow White's kitchen scene, where little blue birds took away the pie crust. She knew it was crap, but for a young woman living in a poor, dirty world, her mind's eye saw further than it had previously. Before she got married, she drew the evil queen on a full sized artists pad, with no references other than her memory.

After she had shown me her illustrations (I was around the age of 6 or 7), she threw them away, and forbade me to recover them. She said she was not the same person who drew those pieces, and did not want to keep them.

Response to: Favorite Disney Movie? Posted May 24th, 2014 in General

IDK, either Tron (both versions) or Dragonslayer. Most of what Disney's been putting out in the past few decades, reeks of mainstream sweetness, CGI and political correctness. :\ I still remember when Walt would narrate the 90 minute Sunday special.

Not really. All I know is, having an older computer (10+ years) running WIN XP is difficult, due to limited hardware support (computer drivers for my laptop stopped in 2009).

To the OP: Try updating your video driver and Flash plug-in. If that doesn't work, please let us know: the make and model of your computer, OS version, browser and version number. You might have to download the songs to hear them safely... I'm guessing using the Audio Player on NG just causes Flash to crash, correct?

The support for new platforms, other than Flash, is NG's last hope for marketshare... the demographics for NG is, well, kids, and kids like games and edgy cartoons. Tom made a fortune on console games, now it's time to make sure NG is noted for it's free, portable games.

Oh man, sorry to hear it. A tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of room temperature water usually fixes a lot of tummy troubles: restores natural acid balance, high in potassium... helps break up that bloated feeling, from all the nasty, synthetic sugar/fat/salt they pass off as food these days.

Response to: driving hybrids are not worth it. Posted May 14th, 2014 in General

So if you want to take a road trip with one you surely can do so.

It's just an American version of the Prius |: The problem with hybrids is, batteries. Why carry the extra weight, when there's a small engine producing the electricity?! Here's a picture of an old configuration, which uses 4 standard batteries to buffer an inefficient electric motor. Modern electric motors are even more efficient.

But anything beats what they did during WWII: heating wood to 700 F, to use the flammable gas (not liquid) to turn over internal combustion engines. The gasoline/petrol-to-wood ratio is almost 1:10, but it worked on heavy old cars! Check out the link in my sig for 2 pdf's on how to operate a gasifier. I knew an old guy who used to run his Ford tractor that way....

Besides, when you have to drive a Prius at high speeds or fast acceleration, it's even less efficient than a BMW 3 series! (ref: Top Gear UK)
