Seals

2008-12-16T12:00:00.000-06:00

I resently found a Seal Generator. and I thought with the clan starting up I could have something official. here are a few concepts, don't take any of them seriously.

What do you think? As I said before these aren't the final producd but I'm just trying out the system. I'll update you on the final seal later.

What the word is coming to

My Thought Coach ... What has this world come to? I can't believe that is such a thing as this web stite. They are training people's thoughts. I find the idea that people would buy somthing that would brain wash them. Then again there is nothing I can do about this, but this not right.

Holy Forsaken

2008-12-12T17:11:00.001-06:00

My friend has started up a new group call the Holy Forsaken. I call it a group because it has not been decided if it would be call a clan, a guild, or something completely different. The Holy Forsaken will be in most Xbox Live games, currently we are held in the MMORPG Phantasy Star Universe. The Clan web site is currently at Holy Forsaken. You are welcome to visit.

Boy Survives Moose Attack Thanks To World Of Warcraft

2008-11-27T21:13:00.002-06:00

Hans Jørgen Olsen, a 12-year-old Norwegian boy, recently survived a moose attack by feigning death, "just like you learn at level 30 in World of Warcraft."

In WoW, "feign death" is a skill acquired by hunters at level 30 that allows them to take a page from the possum playbook, collapse to the ground, and convince their enemies -- who lose all ingrained animosity in the process -- that they've died.

According to Norwegian site Nettavisen , Hans and his sister apparently enraged one of the local moose (mooses? meese?) during a walk in the forest near their home. After shouting at the gigantic creature to ward it away from his sister, Olsen dropped to the ground, and presumably his lifebar plummeted to zero.

Moose have never been known as the wisest creature in the forest, and the boy's show of necrosis seems to have worked, as both he and his sister survived intact.

It's easy to decry video games as a menace to society but in a world where MMOs save adorable, tow-headed Norwegian children from a deadly moose, can they really be that bad?

Picture Discussion #2

You can only imagine it:

For the last company picnic, management decided that, due to liability issues, they could have alcohol, but only one (1) drink per person.

I'm sure this guy was fired for ordering the cups.

I found you can buy them here:

Games are Good!

Amazing, they were wrong! Who would have thought?

Research from the United States claims people who do not play games are likely to be more anti-social than those who do.

A government-backed research project, headed by PhD Lawrence Kutner, surveyed 1,300 young people across the US, concluding there was absolutely no evidence video games lead children to a life of crime.

Playing games apparently gives young males social confidence, according to the study, while those who don't play video games had a significantly greater risk of becoming anti-social.

"It seems that playing video games for boys is a marker of social confidence. That surprised us," Mr Kutner said.

"It's interesting if you look at what happened a year ago at Virgina Tech... [the attacker's] suitemates who he shared a dorm room with said that he didn't play video games at all and that struck them as really odd because everyone else did.

"That fell right in line with our research findings, that the kids who don't play at all are actually at greater risk... It says something about their social relationships.

"If you look at violent crime in the US over the past 20 years among teenagers, it's ... gone down significantly, and if you look at video game play, it's gone up significantly."

Mr Kutner did admit that those youngsters who played adult-rated violent video games for more than 15 hours a week could be at greater risk of getting into trouble.

VICTORY

Victory is ours!

Let's just start with the article:

Judge Says Jack Thompson Guilty Of Misconduct During GTA, Bully Trials

"The Bar trial judge, Dava Tunis, found the violent video game activist guilty of misconduct such as 'Engaging in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation.' The state Supreme Court will have to make a ruling based on those recommendations, with a disciplinary hearing planned for the first week of June."

HAHA!

Wow!
For thoose that have read 1984 look for the comment about "two minutes of hate"

You might also a video from The Escapist

I can already see him getting disbarred. Justice wait, it always can wait for people like him, and when it leaves it takes his career with it.

The only way he can get out of this is if he hires Phoenix Wright.

There is a problem with how people treat copy righting and I believe that this company has the right idea. A free user data base.

Picture Discussion #1

2008-05-18T22:00:00.000-05:00

I been thinking, I have alot of pictures and I have alot I could say about them so I decided to have a discussion you comment on every thing I say about the picture and we're all a little smarter for it. It doesn't matter if it has been a year since the original post just comment.

Holy Crap! We're all going to die! NOT!

Who the hell would believe this? I mean that's not posible but if your if you going in this direction might as well watch out because they're reading your mind with radio waves.

"vandalized FBI and U.S. Army websites"

whopping-damn-do, no big deal no one cares

I wonder what year this was and where it was published. I would love to hear it if any on finds out.

Now post your views of this... thing.
It doesn't matter what you say as log as it is readable.

Outside

2008-05-18T19:00:00.001-05:00

I've, for along time, have played game, but though the whole time I've herd about this thing called Outside I have finally found a copy and a review for it.

Traditionally Outside receives extremely high ratings by those who like to see others play it, and these people are in many cases comfortably ensconced Inside themselves. Outside was released many years ago, it was in fact the first massively multiplayer game, and yet it has always managed to avoid the double-edged Retro tag. In its favor, continual user updates have kept Outside current; there are always new things to see and do Outside. Participants are permitted, to some extent, to modify their own areas of Outside, which is a large part of the fun of the game. However it seems that in the end one is modifying Outside largely for the sake of it, and having done it, there is a distinct feeling of "now what?"

In terms of the traditional target age content metrics, Outside is remarkably high in sex, violence and challenges to traditional values, despite the strong child-focused marketing it receives. Many would go so far as to say that for a child to develop the ability to cope with Outside is essential, as long as the harm incurred is not too debilitating. Children injured playing Outside are usually comforted by parents, and soon encouraged to go Outside again; this leads to the conclusion that somehow Outside has escaped any and all of the usual moralizing that surrounds the video gaming industry. One might say that Outside gets a free pass from the Jack Thompsons of this world.

That aside, how does Outside actually rate? The physics system is note-perfect (often at the expense of playability), the graphics are beyond comparison, the rendering of objects is absolutely beautiful at any distance, and the player's ability to interact with objects is really limited only by other players' tolerance. The real fundamental problem with the game is that there is nothing to do.

I have a few comments of my own to add there are large risks to Outside some of them being if you comit a crime you usally can't escape the police like you can in most games but if you do you, they will presue you as soon as they find you. All of the actions you have create some of the first real "Force Feedback" that so many games have been tring to replicate. Though, dispist some of the draw backs, I do enjoy the fact that I can go to my friend's Outside and he has personalized it make Outside worth the bordom.

Sorry for not posting yesterday, but as I was just get to write I was stumbling and ran across so of the Halo series history in the blog of Ascendant Justice, the name was from the captured Covent capital ship from First Strike

Ascendant Justice:

A Voice from the Tomb

The Terminals

The Thunder and The Surf

these are all pretty depressing articles, but it does make you think 'what could have change if this hadn't happen' or 'what should have been done'.
