Krosigrim

For a midi its awesome, but its not "music" enough for me to enjoy.

Played quite a few games since I posted here. Heres one Played Castlevania HD. Its pretty fun for a while. Spent around 170 hours on it. Lots of grinding for Items or magic. Drop rate for the uberest of gear is ridiculous. Ive killed Dracula over 150 times and still dont have what im looking for. Most unfortunate is how old it gets. Theres only so many times you can grind one of 6 stages.

Beer pongs alright. More of an at home game though.

Im no good, but I still have fun. I seem to overanalyze and dont play often enough to get decent.

So, anyone here good at pool/darts/beerpong/etc?

I remember seeing a ladys tumor that had teeth and hair in it. I wonder how hard it would be to trick the genes to grow a new set of teeth. Im sure replacement limbs would be too complex. Growing from a stump that is. Lizards have clean breaks for that reason. But I wonder if it would be possible to greatly extend life expectancy without fucking shit up. Im not talking about just making everything healthy longer, but manipulating what actually happens when we age. Im certain there will always be groups that mess with this stuff... Too bad spidermans wall crawling ability is impossible. Id like to have that.

This Not this

I believe it is. Perhaps there is something in bean/nut style food that can give issues. I just thought, say they start altering genes. What if they start becoming sick, as being prone to something negates effects of something else. In laymans terms of course. One cannot fully understand why something is. Id rather we have controlled breeding than gene altering.

Well all I know is I heard many times of people who are deadly allergic of peanuts. I dated a girl who became allergic to chocolate around 20 or so. She got it from her dad, once he became of age he became allergic to chocolate too. She would get sore throat and it would begin to tighten. Well I know people can have allergies to foods. But I do know we pump so much shit into our food it may very well be the toxins they are allergic too in some cases. I believe people can be allergic to pretty much anything. I had a friend who was allergic to grass.

Zombieland? Its a movie to grab when you got all the good ones

Well I remember reports of adding flounder genes to tomatoes to resist colder conditions or somesuch. This is very bad. Imagine this. They change corn. Say they add something from a peanut to resist a particular pest that likes to eat corn. Ok in this example, they have a large field of said corn. Now people eat this corn and some have reactions that were not part of a large test group, like people that have deadly reactions to peanuts. Just work with me, this is an example, dont shoot holes in the logic. So in this example this corn went horribly wrong. Now say said corn began to spread its pollin and began to alter other corn, be it through wind, animals or bugs. Now in this example the bad corn is "infecting" other corn and spreading is unstoppable. What then? Corn is used in everything. Messing with the building blocks is a bad idea for this reason, and many unforseen others.

Well damn now you got me commenting on cybernetics too. You have seen the rat brain robot? http://www.1emulation.com/forums/index.php...c=28917&hl= Anyway, they are getting better at meshing biology and tech. I saw a girl with a robotic limb and it was wired to her nervous system. It even gave her rudimentary tactile sensation. Basically they placed a little board in nerve clusters and they grew to it or the brain learned to perceive the signals... both actually. I saw 2 blind women with a camera wired to their brain. It took months for the nerves to adapt, but they could see shadowy figures. Give all this more time and you have soldiers with a HUD. So what do we have, gene manipulation and cybernetics... yea, sounds awesome. Mutant cyborgs. Add a zombie plague and were fucked. As for this Emu tampering... I havnt heard this. Thats crazy! I want a Raptor! A giant one I can ride. Install cybernetics and you have an awesome mount, that can blast you with missiles and lasers then eat the remaining chunks. I wonder how genes would change if cybernetics were commonplace. We do adapt so its logical to think physiological changes would occur.

Well I do know there is a company that went public (stock market) and they are dealing with things of this nature. It has also been some time since the first cloning. Although this subject has alot of hurtles to overcome before it has the possibility to become common practice... every year technology as a whole doubles, so they say, and I fear this will be a viable practice in our lifetime. Screening out abnormalities is where it would start, but we wont be able to stop those who mean to "advance" the race. Just like we cant stop criminals from acting... It'll be a whole new scary situation. Along with this tech, will be man made viruses of a horrible nature. They claim they already mapped the human genome some time ago. The truths of this concern me. Being able to manipulate the DNA at any level opens the door to some scary shit. ----- But back to the intelligence, Veristic you are right of course. Cultivating ethics and virtue are indeed more important than education as a whole. Knowing what to do with knowledge, as a small example, is far more important than the knowledge itself. One can only be judged by their actions. Its a damn shame when childrens innocents are tainted. Taught hate, greed and so forth. My mom left my Dad before I hit 2. He was an alcoholic abusive and she did not want me to become him. I can never thank her rightfully for the actions she took. I have my issues, as everyone does, but I am free of certain behavioral bullshit I very well have picked up from him. Of course we are all responsible for our own actions but this as a whole is so dynamic, it is hard to bullet point it. It takes some doing to look within and do what is "right" Dealing with ones self is probably the hardest thing ever... we are often our own worst enemies. Unless your like Connery or Gibson. Im sure those two could get fertile chicks much younger that them. Well Gibson's 54 or so but still

Idiocracy. In that movie, silly as it is, stupid people had tons of children over the generations where as smart people were too busy with their professions and so on to actually have many children. We are breeding out intelligence. Stupid people do indeed seem to have a ton of children. All in all though, it has alot to do with upbringing. Therefore the parents are directly responsible for their childrens failures. This is only to a degree though, there are circumstantial situations. But raised in an environment where they arent challenged, nurtured and encouraged along with being force fed bad habits and behavioral patterns... its a formulae for diminishing returns. Being raised by TV and not being interacted with enough, etc. allows for stagnation... at that well... rots the brain. LOL, if only a license was required to have children. Thats horrible isnt it? I say it jokingly but its a scary concept.

I have noticed that perfection is rare. I can assume its based on a random role of the sequencing of genes. Alot of people have the short end of the stick. Alot of people wear glasses. I do. But when I was young my eyes were much better than 20/20. The difference now is I cannot focus clearly on further objects. My eyes tired easy when reading. Glasses fixed this but even without them, I notice extraordinary detail. Perhaps that is just due to my attention to detail, perhaps its merely related to how my mind works. They say that blue eyes are light sensitive. They are genetically weaker than brown, but have better night vision. So in this sense, a recessive gene can also be an advantage. I do have great night vision. But I often notice others build, traits etc. We are a melting pot of people and mixing of different pools are common. (I am a German/Irish/Scott... With a very very small % of Native American) I can tell often, if someone is from another country... or parents were from another land. Russians for instance. Yes they are white, but they look different. Facial structure and so on. What happens 5-10 generations from now though? Will blue eyes, green eyes, blonde hair etc be rare do to being bred out? Overbreeding occurs in animals when too much of a particular trait is compounded. But traits and genes in general will become more rare/common. Staying with the same general race type is certain to occur but how many forms of the major races are there? Asians for instance have alot. From Japan to China, Thailand to Korea there are almost countless variations. So many ethnic groups in China alone that us Americans dont commonly know about. I can tell the difference between a mongolian descended person and a similar looking group, but what happens when countless generations go by and everyone is basically mixed. Im not saying this is bad, Im questioning what happens when certain recessive genes become all too rare. Having alot of dominant genes does not guarantee an awesome end result. But as for blood. "Nobles" were of "Royal" blood but were and still are weak. They were often sickly looking. Selective breeding... but what did it gain them? Not superior bodies I can tell you. Only their upbringing , education and being born into a powerful position gave them the edge. In fact their life of spoils ruined them physically. As a race (human) we build and adept to our environment. One cannot grow unless there is something to work against. Prince Charles was recessive. Princess Ann was a beauty with great genes and look at their progeny. Their sons got a good deal of "good" genes from their mother, in which they should be thankful. But... What occurs at the genetic level when a life is born. Knowing this, I fear genetic altering. It is something we are already messing with and I believe will be commonplace in the near future. It will be viewed upon as good. Imagine selectively changing bad sequencing. Removing risks of heart problems or cancer. What happens when it goes further and further though. Imagine a mix of Gattaca + the process of what Kahn was from. (from Star Trek II) I dont know where im going with this... there are so many points I want to touch on. This subject can branch in so many ways. Anyone have anything to say about this?

What if DQIX had more than local co-op

What the fuck just happened

Im confused. Who would be with someone their not into? Even the worst Ive been with had something I was interested in. Same goes for them.

What if FFVII wasnt overrated

A good portion of us would get along, but there are some who would likely get an assbeating eventually. Yea some drinks and some pool. That would be great. Too bad we dont have beaming technology... yet

Hmm. More than I thought then. But Square needs to take a page and run with no cap-nonsense.

You lost you damn mind Ryan. Are you on drugs?

Perhaps the have perceptions about you build over time. I talk alot. I have something to say about EVERY topic. Im laid back and cool. This all builds to a perception. But when something hits me just right I am not so chill. And when this happens people are shocked. What your story sounds like, is people dont respect you. What im about to say reminds me of this. Say someone gets in my face and I say step back. He replies "or what" See... He needs to get the fuck out of my face. I do not need to say "or I will obliterate you" He thinks he can beat me if I dont back down to him. So therefore, he only understands things on his brutish level. "or what"... I fucking hate that. At this point you need to communicate at their level. Anything else would go unnoticed. They only understand one thing. Unfortunately its most often an ass beating. I once didnt hit a guy back that nailed me in the face. I accounted the whole story here before so I wont now. Suffice to say, If I am nailed again, I will not hesitate to "communicate" at their level. So there, they only understand one thing Emsley. They see you as weak and dont respect you. Plain and simple. The only thing that will change this is changing their opinion outright. Be it ingenious wordplay, or fists.

I dated a big girl for about a year. An ideal woman, as inky says, is someone who puts up with your shit. This is a major factor obviously. But perfection is someone who meshes with you. There must be similar interests. I dated a girl who I found out rather quickly I couldnt stand. All we had was sex. I could not STAND her. There was a really cool girl I knew but she didnt do it for me. She gamed and was on par with the fellas. But I just wasnt into her. Solidius can say were full of shit but it boils down to attraction. You cannot help who/what you are attracted to. I had my apprehensions about the big girl I mentioned... but who she is won out over what I saw. She was pretty but outweighed me by a good 100+ lbs, Im 200+ She turned out to be a physco though... After she broke up with me she went into my house (many roommates and someone was always home, never locked the place) and went through all my stuff. My computer was on and everything. She left a girl magazine previously (for girls, not smut)... she went through with a sharpie and blacked out all their faces and wrote "not me" on most of them. Aaaany way you have to have some attraction. Plain and simple. She needs to have some similar interests. You need to be able to hold a conversation... and not nonsense like how was your day... work was yadda yadda yadda... ok what do you want for dinner... etc. Although there is a point where you run out of things to say, but if thats constant, I say there is something wrong. And you both need to be able to accept each other for what you are. None of that changing bullshit. The cliche molding nonsense alot joke about. If I game, alot, she should accept this. If its a deal breaker... then why start a relationship to begin with. There is alot to be said about the changes that occur naturally when with a mate. You both play off each other and begin to do activities that you may not have tried before. Say I setski, I bring her into this. Say she mountain climbes, she brings me into that. Personalities slightly mesh which is normal. But all in all, you gotta be attracted and intellectually interested. A big girl once said, "I dont know why guys always drool over hot chicks, sex is sex" Bullshit. Why would anyone have sex with someone your not attracted to. That sounds harsh but is it? No. If you think a girl is pretty, thats that. Someone you are not into, even if she is hella cool, is still someone your not into.

The game released in 97 i believe. I have played through at least 20 times. Shmoo drops Crissaegrim (sound familiar?), dodo drops Runesword, fire demon drops marsil. After your first playthrough, the Paranthropus: giant yellowish skeleton with a bone club, drops the Ring of Vardas. If you dont know, now ya know. Get 2 of them.
