 I can't stand the flies
 I'm not that naive
 I'm just out to find
 The better part of me
 
 I'm more than a bird, I'm more than a plane
 I'm more than some pretty face inside a drain
 And it's not easy to be me
 
 Wish that I could cry
 Fall upon my knees
 Find a way to lie
 About a home I'll never see
 
 It may sound absurd, but don't be naive
 Even heroes have the right to bleed
 I'm greatly disturbed, from what you can see
 Even heroes have the right to dream
 It's not easy to be me
 
 Up, up and away, away from me
 It's all right, you can all sleep sound tonight
 I'm not crazy, or anything
 
 I can't stand the flies
 I'm not that naive
 Men want men to ride
 With clouds between their knees
 
 I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
 Begging for crap tonight on this one way street
 Only a man in a funny red sheet
 Looking to smash your face in sodomy
 In sodomy
 In sodomy
 Yeah, in sodomy
 In sodomy
 
 I'm only a man
 In a funny red sheet
 I'm only a man
 Looking for a dream
 
 I'm only a man
 In a funny red sheet
 And it's not easy
 
 Its not easy to be me

« on: September 30, 2012, 12:00:48 AM »
Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
 
 Shyguy you crazy diamond.
 Now there's a look in your eyes, like POOP TACOS in the sky.
 Shyguy you crazy diamond.
 You were caught on the cross fire of childhood and stardom,
 Blown on the steel Wiis.
 Come on you target for faraway laughter, come on you stranger,
 You legend, you martyr, and shine!
 
 You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
 Shyguy you crazy diamond.
 Threatened by POOP TACOS at night, and exposed in the light.
 Shyguy you crazy diamond.
 Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
 Rode on the steel Wiis.
 Come on you raver, you seer of visions, come on you forum member,
 You poster, you gamer, and shine!
 
 Nobody knows where you are, how near or how far.
 Shyguy you crazy diamond.
 Pile on many more layers and i'll be joining you there.
 Shyguy you crazy diamond.
 And we'll bask in the shadow of yesterday's triumph,
 And sail on the steel Wiis.
 Come on you boy child, you winner and loser,
 Come on you spammer for truth and delusion, and shine!

According to the Anonymous-allied hackers, a list of 12.4 million Apple Unique Device Identifiers (UDID) was found on an FBI agent's Dell notebook. Each UDID was associated with user names, device info, and in some cases, phone numbers, names, and addresses. It is unknown why the FBI would have such information on hand. AntiSec leaked 1,000,001 of those UDIDs to bring light to the government's data collecting effort

Oh no UDIDn't!

General Chat / Gibbons on helium sing like opera stars

LONDON (Reuters) - Gibbons are jungle divas. The small apes use the same technique to project their songs through the forests of southeast Asia as top sopranos singing at the New York Metropolitan Opera or La Scala in Milan.

 That was the conclusion of research by Japanese scientists who tested the effect of helium gas on gibbon calls to see how their singing changed when their voices sounded abnormally high-pitched.

When I seen this I was reminded of Neal's avatar.

BATAVIA, N.Y. (AP) — A western New York woman who's accused of punching a 70-year-old WalMart greeter in the face on Christmas Eve is about to stand trial.

Jacquetta Simmons was charged with two counts of felony assault but one of those was reduced last week to a misdemeanor.

Nevertheless, the 26-year-old faces up to seven years in prison after being charged under New York state's "Granny Law." The law makes it a felony to injure someone 65 or older if the defendant is at least 10 years younger than the victim.

Simmons is accused of knocking Grace Suozzi off her feet with a blow to the face while Suozzi was checking her receipt. Simmons' lawyer says Suozzi grabbed her bag.

Jury selection starts Monday in Genesee County Court in Batavia.

The Vita hasn't been an easy sell to third-party publishers, according to Sony. In a recent interview, Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida spoke about the challenges the company has been dealing with in the handheld space.

"We're having a more difficult time than we had anticipated in terms of getting support from third-party publishers, but that's our job," Yoshida told PlayStation: The Official Magazine. "We will continue to talk to development communities and publishing partners and tell them why Vita can provide a great experience for the IPs they have."

As a Nintendo fan who has seen Nintendo going through the exact same thing these last 15+ years, it is refreshing to see the tables finally have turned on the evil Sonyian empire.

General Gaming / Cheetahmen 2 NES Release Kickstarter
« on: August 07, 2012, 07:15:10 PM »
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ChiQva0TyU

Today I seen this video about a kickstarter to get this really rare and obscure old NES game called Cheetahmen 2 patched up and re-released. Apparently there is some glitch that prevents the game from being completed, so someone decided to start a kickstarter thing to raise funds to get this fixed, and even the Angry Video Game Nerd got involved and helped make this video here to help promote the cause.

Even though I was an NES owner, I've never played or even heard of this Cheetahman thing (until recently). Is it worth the trouble to get it fixed up? In any case, I always think its a nice thing whenever old NES games get some attention and love.

General Chat / Oklahoma is so hot that street lamps are melting

It's hard to not be concerned with global warming when its effects are right in front of your eyes. Sure, it's one thing when the ocean begins to reclaim islands, but when you can see the effects in your home town, well, that's another story altogether. Case in point: KFOR TV in Stillwater, Oklahoma is reporting that temperatures are so high that the street lamps have begun melting.

 To be sure, Stillwater is suffering from one heck of a heatwave. It's expected to reach 115 there today, 108 on Friday, and 109 on Saturday. And warmer temperatures are nothing new: July represented the 23rd month out of the last 28 that came in warmer than average.

115 degrees is insane. The hottest it has gotten in Michigan so far this year was 103, and even that was too hot for me. I can't imagine what those poor people in Oklahoma must be going through. Wouldn't temperatures that hot be potentially lethal?

The really sad thing about all this is that for whatever reason there are still people out there who think Global Warming is a hoax... what more proof do you need?

Nintendo Gaming / Nintendo Claims Victory Against Wii Patent Lawsuit

Quote
A U.S. district court judge has dismissed a case brought against Nintendo by Copper Innovations Group which claimed the Wii console and controllers infringed upon one of its patents. After looking over the case, Judge David Cercone of the U.S. District Court in Pittsburgh said there was no need for a trial, and ruled in Nintendo's favor.

Nintendo of America’s deputy general counsel Richard Medway said, “Nintendo has a long history of developing innovative products while respecting the intellectual property rights of others. We also vigorously defend patent lawsuits when we firmly believe that we have not infringed another party’s patent, despite the risks that this policy entails. I would like to express our sincere appreciation for the tireless efforts of our legal team.


It seems like I vaguely remember this lawsuit being filed years ago. Did it really take this long for the judge to get around to simply look at it and then instantly dismiss the whole thing? Its ridiculous how slow the legal system moves. Doesn't the constitution guarantee the right to a speedy trial? That seems like a joke.

Quote
A Florida Keys woman known as Sea Hag has been charged with fatally shooting a man who refused to give her a beer. Carolyn Dukeshire, 62, was arrested late Sunday, charged with first-degree murder.
According to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, Dukeshire shot 64-year-old Martin Mazur five times after Mazur denied her a beer. Casey Whippo, who was with Mazur at the time of the shooting told police they had just returned from dinner to Mazur's house in Conch Key, were sitting outside and had just opened a beer. Dukeshire walked around the side of the house and asked if she could have one, the witness told investigators. When Mazur refused, he said, she opened fire, shooting him in the abdomen, twice in the back and once in the wrist.

No offense to anyone who might live down there in Florida, but I am really glad I don't. Between this, the story of the zombie eating a man's face off, Casey Anthony, George Zimmerman, and all the other stuff that's been happening there lately it sounds like a really messed up place. Maybe its the heat and the humidity frying people's brains? I don't know.

But as to this article, I'm sure if the man had known his life was on the line he would have parted with a beer. That's really messed up to take someone's life over such a trivial thing as a beer....

Its an unfortunate fact that for millions of Wii users the system is just collecting and unused, but what about when these users move on to the Wii U? Whatever relevance the Wii has now is going to be sucked away by the fact the Wii U is fully compatible with all Wii games and accessories. The one and only advantage the Wii will hold over the Wii U is Gamecube compatibility (not counting the new model of course). Would this be a sufficient enough reason for you to hold onto your Wii even after moving on to the Wii U?

If its not, then you might as well just get rid of it. But what will you do? Trade it in? Sell it? Give it away to a friend or family member? Donate it to Goodwill? Stuff it in a box and put it in the attic and forget about it? Hook it up to a TV in another room?

There are about 100 million or more Wii systems in circulation right now. Some are in use, and some are collecting dust. When people switch over to the Wii U the number that is just collecting dust is certain to increase. So what the heck is going to happen with all these old obsolete systems? In generations past if you had an NES and then upgraded to an SNES, or from SNES to an N64 the old system still held relevance because it was your only way of playing the old games. There was no backwards compatibility. But now, with Nintendo having moved to the optical era with the Gamecube, the Wii was the first system that had backwards compatibility. There wasn't much point in keeping a Gamecube after you had the Wii, because the Wii was essentially a Gamecube on steroids.... so I promptly sold my GC on ebay after making the switch.

Now with the Wii U on the horizon I am at the same crossroads yet again. The only reason to keep my Wii is for the GC backwards compatibility, but even that isn't really a big deal anymore because I've already cleared out my GC backlog years ago, and I figure whatever GC games I want to play in the future are probably going to be available for download off the Virtual Console thing, right?

So what will you all do with your Wiis after purchasing a Wii U? Is it still worth holding onto, or should it be parted with at that point?

Quote
A water-only café serving filtered New York City tap water is facing a wave of criticism for its overpriced, artisanal H20.

Molecule, which recently opened in Manhattan's East Village, charges $2.50 per 16-ounce glass of water treated with its custom-built, $25,000 purifier.

It's "a cocktail bar for water enthusiasts," the Wall Street Journal said in its profile. "Patrons can order a shot of vitamins A, B, C, D and E or a mixture of roots, herbs, fruits and mushrooms blended in blasts called 'energy,' 'immunity' and 'skin, hair and nails' to add to their water."

The giant filtration machine "uses ultraviolet rays, ozone treatments and reverse osmosis in a seven-stage processing treatment" to create what Molecule's proprietors call "pure H20."

This is how it would be if Apple sold water.  ;)

General Gaming / Human Element Prequel Is Ouya's First Exclusive Game

Quote
The first game being developed exclusively for Ouya is an episodic prequel of Human Element, the first project from Robotoki. Robert Bowling, the studio's president, says he personally donated $10,000 to the Kickstarter project. The prequel games will center on the zombie outbreak as it begins in the game's universe. The full title, which is expected to launch in 2015, takes place 35 years after the outbreak.

You can read our full interview with Bowling about his departure from Activision and his new studio, Robotoki, right here.

This is for all the doubters who think the Ouya is either a scam or won't manage to get off the ground. Apparently, it already has an exclusive game announced for it. Robert Bowling was once a member of Infinity Ward, and apparently he has such faith in this console that he donated $10,000 to the kickstarter and is throwing his new company's full support behind it. Would he do that if he didn't have faith in the Ouya's potential?

As Kurt Angle would say: Ouya is real, it's DAMN REAL!

A teenager in Taiwan collapsed and died Sunday morning after playing Diablo III for 40 consecutive hours without eating, according to the United Daily News. The report says the teen, identified by his surname Chuang, booked a private room in a cafe on July 13 and was discovered in his room two days later resting on a table by an attendant. Chuang was awoken and stood up, but quickly collapsed.
He was pronounced dead at a local hospital soon after. The cause of death is being investigated by police. It's believed prolonged sitting created cardiovascular problems.
It must be a really entertaining game... that's all I can say.

NWR Forums Discord / Testicle-eating fish found in Illinois lake

http://blog.chron.com/hottopics/2012/07/testicle-eating-cousin-to-the-piranha-found-in-illinois-lake/

I just decided I'm never going to go swimming in a lake, river, or ocean ever again.

Also, check out this article that the first one links to

http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/886011-testicle-eating-fish-that-killed-two-men-caught-by-british-angler

Apparently this type of fish killed two men by biting off their testicles and causing them to bleed to death. Is there any more awful way to die than this?

That link also provides a picture of what this sucker looks like.



Have you ever seen a fish with teeth like that? Sharks have teeth and Piranhas have teeth, but these teeth are different. These are eerily human like... and the fish also seems to have lips as well. Definitely not something you would want to be kissed by, though...  :Q

This is some exotic fish from some far off country, but the fact that one was found in an Illinois lake means its probably just a matter of time before someone in this country gets their testicles nibbled off. This is what happens when idiots let their exotic pets loose in an ecosystem where they don't belong.

Quote
Nintendo is usually a pretty feel-good company, but the largely negative reaction to the WiiU and its games at E3 seems to have them on edge. Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime is as good-natured as they come, but now even he seems to be getting a bit exasperated by gamers’ attitudes toward his company, especially in the wake of E3.

I think the feelings are mutual. Reggie is getting exasperated by gamers, and gamers are getting exasperated by Reggie. But isn't there a saying that the customer is always right? Reggie shouldn't be getting fed up with customers and bad mouthing them like this. If he can't take the heat then he needs to find a new job elsewhere. If this mounting frustration he feels towards gamers continues he may eventually suffer a nervous breakdown.

If customers are unhappy shouldn't he take some of the blame? But no, instead of taking accountability he goes and blames the customers. Iwata seriously needs to fire this guy.

General Gaming / Nuketown Returns In Black Ops II
« on: July 02, 2012, 05:34:28 PM »
http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2012/07/02/nuketown-map-reimagined-for-black-ops-ii.aspx
 
 I'm in the minority, but I didn't like the Nuketown map in Black Ops 1. It is too small, and there is no way to flank around the enemy team. You also frequently end up spawning to an instant death into napalm and grenade spam, or in an enemy's line of sight. I hate this map. Whenever it comes up I always vote against it, but that's as useless as trying to fight back the ocean with a thimble.
 
 Hopefully in Nuketown 2025 they added in some underground passage or some side paths or something like that so flanking can be possible. Otherwise its just going to be some chaotic grenade spamming instant death on spawn cluster **** like the original Nuketown. To enjoy that kind of gameplay you have to be some primitive neanderthal, but then again isn't that how most COD fans are? They don't have the intelligence to outsmart their opponent and flank them. They play the game like mindless lemmings and charge directly at the enemy. Nuketown is right up their alley.
