Yeah, I go outside and I can see and smell the smoke - Ground level, and I'm 50~ miles from there.

Phil paints a huge black circle on a mountain and puts up a 'Shortcut' sign next to it.

/me runs right into the hole, and comes out another hole on the other side of a mountain.

* Cartoon characters can do that.

Re: BLAH!
 

Hmmmm. Wonder if my talking wolf on D&D would count as a cartoon character.

Re: BLAH!
 

Only if they're the right cartoon character, then the villian has to run in after them and smack into solid rock.

It's practicaly the law you know. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

I'm a mouse...He's a wolf...

...Wolf pancake. It's the law.

Re: BLAH!
 

Eh, I don't eat mice. Not enough meat.
Now, why would I be a pancake? Maybe Jason has a meld into stone or something...

Re: BLAH!
 

Cartoon physics. The wolf always looses.

Re: BLAH!
 

But I'm cuddly and soft! If people hug you, they crush you...

Re: BLAH!

Re: BLAH!
 

Hmmmm.

Remember people, you have the god given gifts of repression and denial. Use the wisely.

Re: BLAH!
 

O.o Doesn't that just lead to pain in the end?

Re: BLAH!
 

Depends how well you repress really. If you keep it hidden well enough you'll die before the memories re-surface.

Re: Stupid topic staying the same.
 

Meh, they're still there, just not screaming 'hello!' at you.

Re: Stupid topic staying the same.
 

Yep and that's the point. Maybe it's just me, but I'm a strong 'Live for today, for tommorow you may die.' person.

Not to silly extents, but so far life has made it clear to me that thats a philosophy to live by.

Re: Stupid topic staying the same.
 

Repressing stuff only leads to it building up, it doesn't simply evaporate over time. It needs time to let itself out, evaporate like emotions.

Re: Stupid topic staying the same.
 

Indeed and it can do that evaporation whilst being repressed. Maybe repression is the wrong word, bit too strong perhaps. Certainly ignore and not think about often, if at all.

Re: Stupid topic staying the same.
 

If I need to let something out, I type it all out in the reply box, then delete it and write something nice.

So now you all know my secret. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Stupid topic staying the same.
 

If my repressed emotions surface, I go and hit something!

Re: The topic can hardly change itself....
 

Firewood is really good for that ... especially when it needs splitting anyway ... and you have a splitting maul... quite satisfying, really.

Re: <topic change in progress>
 

Yup. Unfortunately, sometimes you don't have firewood at hand. At times like that, pedestrians' skulls will also do nicely.

Re: Meh.
 

Yeah, but then the cops come to crack YOUR skull. And that's painful.

Re: <topic change still in progress>
 

Until you tell them you have a fleet of orbital starships ready to fire CSMs at them..... then they won't crack your skull, they'll just lock you up in a psychiatric institution http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: STOP!
 

And you're crack your own skull. Same thing happens, either way.

Re: $$$$ $$$$ $$$$
 

Conclusion: releasing one's repressed emotions leads to a cracked skull. Better keep those emotions deeply buried!

Logic! And a changed topic
 

Let me get this straight: If you take crack into your skull you end up releasing repressed emotions and burying yourself alive?

Well I'll just add that to the list of reasons not to take crack then.

Re: Logic! And a changed topic
 

That's right! And if you bury yourself alive, you won't be able to play SEV when it comes out.

Re: Logic!
 

And that's all that matters.

Re: Logic!
 

And if you've got a SE addiction already you'd be foolish to have two addictions to feed.

Re: DIGITAL LSD!
 

Don't you mean three? There is, after all, Space Empires V that's coming out soon...

Psychic Heroin!
 

Well do you still play SEIII that much?

I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X XI XII
 

No. After I got SEIV, I spent maybe a total of 2 hours playing SEIII. It's just not the same anymore and I can't get into it.

Re: I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X XI XII XII
 

They still need to place a warning label on SE5. Just as a marketing gimmick.

Re: I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X XI XII XII XIII
 

To revive this thread again... Look at my spiffy new avatar!!!

Re: XIV XV XVI XVII XVIII XIX XX XXI XXII XXIII
 

Is that an asteroid? Meteor? Meteorite?

Re: XIV XV XVI XVII XVIII XIX XX XXI XXII XXIII
 

My ne new black hole. See, it's with all the radiation, and stellar matter falling in. Ooo.

Re: XXIV XXV XXVI XXVII XXVIII XXIX XXX XXXI XXXII
 

Ah, an all consuming space void. Well, lets hope you can continue to find enough matter to keep from evaporating anytime soon.

Re: XXIV XXV XXVI XXVII XXVIII XXIX Twelve
 

Hmmm so NAs an all consuming void. Well I'd heard the rumours....

Re: XXIV XXV XXVI XXVII XXVIII XXIX XXIXI
 

Well, there's the null in my name. Funny story about how I got it in there...

Re: Stupid topic staying the same.
 

Tell us.

TELL US!

Re: Stupid topic staying the same.
 

I used to be called SkyAshton. Then there was a conversation about stuff with the word null in it's name, starting with nullspace cannons. Then came along... NullAshton! And a new name was born.

You have to admit, my new avatar loks a lot better than that fake-looking blackhole I rendered. Looks like someone just exploded a start, and it's collapsing into a black hole, or something.

Re: Stupid topic staying the same.
 

Yup, it really looks like an exploding start. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Stupid topic staying the same. Meh.
 

Meh, supposed to be star. Hey, maybe it's an exploding black hole! Or maybe a wormhole, spewing out matter.

Re: Why can there be only one topic?
 

Oohh - it's a pretty swirl ... spinning ... dizzy....

*$@%&*()#~!?:
 

Does a black hole really look like a spiral vortex?

Re: *$@%&*()#~!?:*^*&^*^@$#^*&@^%
 

A black hole is black. All the swirly stellar matter swirling in...

Re: qwerty!
 

Well... that's not entirely true... black holes are thought to spit matter back out, one twisted, torn, and rent particle at a time....
