Kinda neat. Sixen's Skullcap.

I just noticed it while playing in Icecrown.

Edit: Please do not turn this into an "I miss Sixen" thread. If you have complaints, make a different thread. This thread is about a hat in a video game. Thanks.

Quote from WishedHeHadBeta

a company wanting less people to steal the product they made = they're greedy bastards? trolololololololol

So if I were to take a video of Fox News and comentate on why Bill O'Reilly is a dumbass, under current law, that's legal, under the new law, that's illegal. That means, somehow in your head, that they want...less people...to watch their shows...or something like that?

I don't think know what your saying, and moreover, I don't think you know what you are saying.

(No offense or anything. Don't want this thread closed too.)

Quote from Umpa

Ya, it's that simple.

Not.

If the bill was that simple, I'd agree. But it's not that simple.

Quote from Umpa

People are stealing music. Period. The artists need to be compensated. Their work should not be stolen.

If it was that simple, I'd agree. It's not that simple.

(By the way, you can go to jail for putting a video of you playing Diablo 3 on Youtube. Just fyi.)

Quote from SFJake

Not sure here. I don't see why twice in a row, people take LinkX's post and try to defend the people negatively affected by piracy, like it had anything to do with what he said.

You get used to it. *Shrug.*

Quote from Umpa

Linkx said it wasn't about piracy when it clearly is.

Read.

The language used could allow me to be sent to PRISON for using the likeness of the character known as Link used in the video game titled "The Legend of Zelda".

Likewise for you and your use of the character known as "Reptar" from the childrens television show "Rugrats".

But we are pirating stuff and thus stealing from companies, right?

Again, I say this: If it was simple piracy, I'd have no problem with the two bills, of which one I linked. But these bills go far and beyond the scope of intellectual property.

Quote from LinkX

The entire middle east is full of people willing to blow themselves up because they think they will be rewarded for killing infidels. This is also in their holy book.

Sorry dude, total bullshit.

Alright, I apologize. I was wrong.

There are some Muslims who are not willing to blow themselves up for their religion. They don't disown those that do, however. Many of those that are not willing to, look up to those that blow themselves up as martyrs.

But I was incorrect in my original statement, not ALL Muslims blow themselves up for their religion.

I apologize.

Quote from AnathemicOne

Omnipotence and omnipresence have no affect on "fate" I believe the term your looking for is beneficence which deems God will use said omnipotence and omnipresence to care for his creations yes?

Going more into your point, Catholics/Christians deem that God has a "Grand Plan" for everything, there is no dispute to this. They believe even though he shows apathy today, even though he's omnipotent, omnipresent, and beneficent, everything still is in accordance with his "Grand Plan." Basically, God knows all but he doesn't dictate what people do in how they die. If a person dies by lightning bolt God knows, if that same person instead gets shot by a gun God knows. This is what Catholics/Christians refer to as "God cannot be understood by mere humans/mortals."

If god had a grand plan, then either A) we would have to know about it to follow it or we have no free will.

This is also an issue I have with prayer. Why do christians pray and then say that it's god's plan? If it was his plan, and if he worked hard and came up with a good plan, then you prayed, you just fucked up his perfectly good plan. Either that or you were ignored. Either way, somebody is getting shafted, either you or god.

That second part is just me ranting, you can ignore it if you want.

Yea, I've seen an absolute flood of new people coming in.

For the most part, I ignore them. If they stay past the Beta, or if they talk about something other then the Beta, then cool, they are members.

But if they are here solely for the beta, as far as I am concerned, they can screw off.

Quote from Str8Aim

So if you found a reference to The Lost Vikings in D1,D2, or D3 you would bitch and complain about that also? Well Blizzard is known throughout all their games to have some sort of reference from their other games in their games. Get over yourself.

I personally find it pretty cool when I see those small references to all their other games. Reminds me of playing and enjoying those games back in the day.

You have to understand, Mr Aim, it's not hip and cool to hate on The Lost Vikings. It is hip and cool to hate on WoW.

Hence the "omg, i hatez teh wowz!" threads.

Well, I think that the option should be there, and the default should be to show the helmet. If people don't want to see their helmet, they can click the option to hide it, if they want to show it, they can click the option to show it.

Why are people fighting about more options vs less options? o.O

You didn't know? We can go to war any time any president wants to. We just have to call it something other then war. Iraq/Afghanistan? Kinetic Action. North Korea/Vietnam? Police Action.

War? We never, ever have a war, we are a very, very peaceful nation. Now please enter the cell before this very, very kind and caring police officer kindly beats the shit out of you. Peacefully of course. And remember, he loves you, and we all love you. This is for your own good.

Haha I've been gone for a bit it seems. Didn't expect a total site revamp.

Huckster god?

Meat is murder.

Murder is DELICIOUS!!!

There's a petition (at the whitehouse.gov website) trying to protect individuals right against infringement by the government on their internet. Long story short, the government is trying to extend their power to crack down on pirates & pirated content. Let's be realistic, most people nowadays have SOME form of pirated content on their PC. If you want to protect the internet & your rights on the web, feel free to read this over and sign.

Quote from TitanREW

freedom leads to chaos and the only way to control this is to make rules, some are ridiculous, but some restrictions do make sense if u thing deep into it.

censoring certain things also makes sense for certain countries- that's just the way of culture that likes it to be

dont seek freedom, seek balance and fairness

Are you an Abstergo employee?

Figured we were due for another Umpa relativist drive-by.

5 minute -BEST Management Course

Lesson 1:
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings.

The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs.

When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbour.

Before she says a word, Bob says, 'I'll give you $800 to drop that towel.'

After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob, after a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves.

The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs.

When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, 'Who was that?'

'It was Bob the next door neighbour,' she replies...

'Great,' the husband says, 'did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?'

Moral of the story:
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.

Lesson 2:
A priest offered a Nun a lift.

She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident.

After controlling the car, he stealthily

slid his hand up her leg.

The nun said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?'

The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again.
The nun once again said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?'

The priest apologized 'Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.'

Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way.

On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, 'Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.'

Moral of the story:
If you are not well informed in your job, you might
miss a great opportunity.

Lesson 3:
A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp.

They rub it and a Genie comes out.

The Genie says, 'I'll give each of you just one wish.'

'Me first! Me first!' says the admin clerk. 'I want to be in the Bahamas , driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.'

Puff! She's gone.

'Me next! Me next!' says the sales rep.. 'I want to be in Hawaii , relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.'

Puff! He's gone.

'OK, you're up,' the Genie says to the manager.
The manager says, 'I want those two back in the office after lunch.'

Moral of the story:
Always let your boss have the first say.

Lesson 4:
An eagle was sitting on a tree resting,
doing nothing.

A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you and do nothing?'

The eagle answered: 'Sure, why not.'

So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story:
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must
be sitting very, very high up.

Lesson 5:
A turkey was chatting with a bull.

'I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree' sighed the turkey, 'but I haven't got the energy.'

'Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?' replied the bull. They're packed with nutrients.'

The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.

The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.

Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree..

He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.

Moral of the story:
Bull Shit might get you to the top, but it
won't keep you there..

Lesson 6:
A little bird was flying south for the winter.
It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field.

While he was lying there, a cow came by
and dropped some dung on him.

As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was.

The dung was actually thawing him out!
He lays there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.

A passing cat heard the bird singing and
came to investigate.

Following the sound, the cat discovered
the bird under the pile of cow dung, and
promptly dug him out and ate him.

Morals of the story:
(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.

(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.

(3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

Congratulations! !! THIS ENDS YOUR 5 MINUTE MANAGEMENT COURSE

Oakland CA is really bad, often tying with Detroit and DC for murders each year (per capita of population), they have a perimeter called the kill-zone in the worst part of Oakland known as the Acorn district. In the early 90's when I lived there in my 20's I made a wrong turn off International Blvd (called East 14th then) coming from the top of the map heading south, I made a erroneous left onto 68th at about 4PM on a weekday afternoon, yes I remember the time, read on to see why

.
http://articles.sfga...nd-west-oakland

The first thing I saw after my wrong turn was 2 guys standing on the street corner dealing drugs to a line of about 5 cars, like it was McDonald's or something and they were McDealing away careless of who was around. The dealers and their patrons all looked up and saw my lost lily white ass and in a second I knew from their expressions they too knew I was lost.

Having a shred of common sense I decided go around the block until I was back on the relative safety of International Blvd. As I made my way to the end of the block to make my first turn I began to pass some Pepto Bismol pink colored shacks on my left with detention style chicken coop wire over all the windows, the yards were as disheveled as you can possibly imagine. As I reached the corner I looked down the road to the left and saw a cop from the Oakland housing department driving towards me.

About half way down the block members of the local community youth organization were hanging out in front of one of the houses. As the cop passed one of kids pulled out a sawed off shotgun and held it up to his friend's head and looking at the cop he taunts the cop by starkly yelling BOOM! The cop didn't bother stopping, at that moment my pin-head told me I shouldn't stop either. I made a quality decision to turn right and follow the cop and for about 5 minutes until I got out of there I had a far better weight loss program than Jenny Craig.
