General Chat / Re: Who wants to house RABicle? I LAND NEXT SATURDAY!

« on: July 10, 2008, 10:59:10 AM »

Ok guys. I fly out NEXT FRIDAY AND WILL BE IN LA SATURDAY MORNING. I dunno why I didn't just book a ticket straight to San Francisco now because I plan to just train up to the bay area as soon as possible.

So look I need more then just expressions of interest now. I need CONFIRMATIONS of people who want to either; hang out, let me stay for a night (or two) or can possibly transport me around. And I'll need dates.

So. Unless there is anyone who wants to look after me for a night in LA (July 19th), I'm going straight to the Bay area. Who there can look after me?

Next up is Sacramento. Do we want to organise a meetup in Sacramento? This is July 20-25ish I'm looking at now. If not a meetup am I just gunna crash at Pro's or something?

Next is Oregon. Evan are we still catching up? What day is best for me to arrive? How long can I stay? Are we both going to Portland? Portland. Is anyone there willing to show me around?

I want to be in Victoria, BC by the 29th, probably catching the ferry from Seattle. I have people to stay with there (Victoria) but I might need help on the night of August 2nd in Vancouver. Anyone from there? (actually I might be covered here but in case I spend multiple nights on mainland Canada let me know.)

I fly out of Vancouver on the 3rd of August. In the morning.

I dont want to feel as if I'm pressuring anyone here, if you cant do anything or don't wanna, that's cool.


Also I have $750 in US monies right now. How long will this last? I can share some with people who are prepared to house me.


(comon, Sac meetup would be best and awesome, it'll be right after E3 we'll all be psyched.)

Now if it was something like... Hideo Kojima's Beer Pong, then the conversation would probably go a bit differently.

Hideo Kojima presents a Hideo Kojima game. Written and directed by Hideo Kojima at Kojima productions. Hideo Kojima's Beer Pong, as endorsed and played by Kojima productions writer and directer Hideo Kojima.

Not everyone has a table tennis table to ruin or a large space or outdoor room to play beer pong. I can see the point of this game.

I mean, it's not like you play it sober, YOU'RE STILL MEANT TO KEEP UP DRINKING IN THE REAL WORLD!

This would cause the planet to iniially be very hot, but cool down expoentially. The planet would then have a cooler climate. Specific bacteria could be released in certain order in order to create controlled climate change and also to convert certain harmful compounds int more organic friendly compounds through fermentation

You're suggesting something with a timescale of millions and millions of years here.

i dont see why we don't do it all at the same time and see which one gets done faster, i dont think venus is outside the habitable zone, I believe a few hundred years ago it was recorded as a blue planet, it might have even been inhabited, possibly venus had a civilization that screwed up like we are doing. Any evidence of life would be destroyed by crazy winds, radiation exposure, burning surface.

There is something crazy about this post and it has nothing to do with the wind.

So why haven't we colonized the Moon yet? I would have thought that would have been doable by now.

Why would we colonise the fucking moon? IT'S A LUMP OF ROCK IN A COLD BARREN SPACE. It has no atmosphere, no resources it would be completely unsustainable. We haven't colonized the moon for similar reason to why we haven't colonised Antartica or Midway Island.

The only possible reason we might have to colonise the moon is to launch future space missions from it, since it would take substantially less energy to raise large spacecraft off the Moon's weaker gravity. But for this to even be viable we'd have to be sourcing 95% of the materials, constructing and commissioning  the ships in space. That'd require a massive workforce who'd all need to eat, breathe, and live on the moon, a colony. Which is not a viable option for the lack of an atmosphere or food.

Im glad it's DS and not GBA. I cant trust GBA ports after the kick to the nuts that Tales of Phantasia was.

What was the issue with ToP? All I noticed was that it was hard to tell whether something was enabled or disabled.

Poor sound, poor music, poor graphics. It was like they ported it to NES first and put that version on the GBA.

I think after this game flops, Konami is well on its way to being finished.

Are you kidding? It's not like they're spending any money on this game.

In a country once called Abyssinia
The whole population has tinia
With really sore feet
And not much to eat
The poor cunts get skinnier and skinnier.

Poor analogy Bob. Racing a real car is dangerous, expensive and against the law in public. Playing a real guitar is none of those things.

NASA spacecraft don't run on a petroleum based fuel, oil prices have no effect. It's damned expensive to fill them up, but no more so because of oil prices. Only two shuttles have exploded, the first, Challenger, over 20 years ago and Columbia much more recently.

Isn't petroleum derived from oil anyway, so indirectly it is affected?

Try again

I am not going to get into a debate over the "integrity" of scientists so let's say I don't care what they say nor do I believe half of the crap that spews forth from their collective mouths.

Oh yes, Scientists are banded together in a massive conspiracy, pushing an agenda because they have so much to gain from research and experimentation.

and we proved that? I thought that was just a theory.

No it's the fucking facts. Not just oil either; coal is compressed, fossilised vegetation. The earth is billions of years old.

I think it's more. They've been using the same fuckign ship for over 20 years. 5 years later, they'll come back with something new and awesome.

Besides, bloody private companies are going into space these days. It's ridiculous.
