I know they're not all bad, but like I said, it's annoying after a while.

Oh, and I'm now saying that my name is Ace Rimmer. :P Cookie for anyone who gets it.

*pats falcon on the head*

They're not all bad. Just the ones with nukes.

Also: ignore the mini-Boarder -_- (You'd think I'd be able to spell my OWN username...)

I've grown to hate them. About seventy percent of the people I meet are Chinese or Korean or similar. And they all say, at some point, "Do you know Korea?" It's getting on my nerves after the sixtieth time. Frankly, I'm getting to the point where I'm going to disconnect if they ask that.

The first person I ran into was Korean. We exchanged book recommendations ^_^

It was suggested I post this here, since it is very much an amusing thing, and we here are the sorts of people who've likely wanted to carry out such an arrest. It comes from a youtube vid, a Dukat music video. It contains a truly epic retort.

ucemujeproblem:
The music is quite unadeqite..
badger5079:
...as is your spelling.
ucemujeproblem:
Its the spelling police!
I surender
badger5079:
You are hereby charged with the offense of spelling without a permit. You are also being charged with aggravation of the original offence by your incorrect and dangerous spelling of the word "surrender", not to mention your abject neglect of apostrophes. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of syntax. You have the right to a proper English teacher. If you cannot afford a proper English teacher, one will be provided for you.

Vid is here, in case you're curious... and I rather like the music, personally.

I quoted the entirety of the Gears of War 2 opening speech by Chairman Prescott to harass a troller. "Humans are no strangers to war. After all, we've been fighting for as long as we can remember. War is all we know." They thought I was talking about Iraq. :P

I particularly like the idea of quoting Bloodninja every time someone tries to solicit some cybering. Although trolls (frequently /b/tards) sound like a big problem from what I've read. Might bother people there sometime.

...a total asshole, or a complete bloody dumbass. Leaning towards 'both'. The TV Tropes page on You Fail Logic Forever should be at least 1.5x its current size.

Or throw her in the pond to see if she's guilty - and she's not innocent unless she drowns :P Whoever thought *that* one up had a nasty turn of mind.

Nice to meet you :D

Omegle: http://omegle.com/

Talking to random people has never been so fun. Once you get past the paedophiles and the spambots and the trolls, it can be a very serious and good way to make new friends. Alternatively, you can counter-troll and engage in topics that break the internet (I... *cough* broke the server for a few seconds at one point. Four people were on the site next to me when I copy-pasted an entire window and then repeated and repeated. All of the Omegle windows on everyone's screen froze solid).

It's a crazy idea, but it's rapidly become one of my favourite sites. Tom Francis from PC Gamer UK mentioned it on his blog, which was how I discovered it: http://www.pentadact.com/index.php/2009-03-31-conversations-with-strangers#comments

And the Board has a filtering system now?

Heck, the film opens with a flashback showing baby Jay's first word to be "f---" (censored because of Board filtering system) and it goes on from there. The plot goes roughly like this:

Jay and Silent Bob are a pair of stoners living in New Jersey, who spend most of their time hanging around outside a convenience store selling weed. At the start of the film the convenience store gets a restraining order against them, so they go to hang out in a comic book shop instead. They meet up with a friend who, in a previous film, wrote a superhero comic entitled "Bluntman and Chronic" with characters based on them, but has now sold the rights to Miramax. This basically means that the movie's going to be made and Jay and Bob won't get any of the money, and on top of that they see that random kids are making fun of them on the Internet. They decide that the best way to stop this is to go to Hollywood and stop the movie being made. They hitch a lift with what they think is an animal rights group, Jay following along because he's attracted to Justice, one of the girls with the group. (Most of the fans of the movie loathe her and think she was just put in to prove Jay's heterosexuality. If she was, she failed miserably, because he still has WAY more tension with Bob, though I don't think she did anything to deserve the level of hate she gets.) Anyway, Justice persuades him to "prove his love" by breaking into a research lab and stealing Suzanne the orangutan. This is actually a decoy, because the "animal rights group" is actually a gang of international jewel thieves, and they're breaking into the bank across the street while Jay and Bob free the animals. They go on the run with Suzanne, and eventually get to Hollywood and try to sabotage the movie. It doesn't work, but Bob does persuade the director to let them share in the profits, which they use to travel around the country and beat up people who said bad things about them online.

The name bunny is nibbling on my left ear.

Normal names: Megan Redfield, Alan Helm
Standard fantasy name : Reltma Khan, Mala Tanzal
Standard sci-fi names: Ri'klo Drashna, Luth Tarn

There you go. Nick my name bunny. I have too many names for a Half-Life 2 fanfic. I'm trying to name the main character to be a long name that's still fitting, but has a fitting nickname do, while also being British in a future humans-are-slaves-to-aliens environment.

Wouldn't be able to use any of them, really. If there isn't any problem with character naming for OCs or original fic, there's a problem with actually writing the story. At this point, I can't really say I can write worth a damn. That's why I never bothered with Agents or Permission. Might consider trying to not suck at making fic, but not at the moment. When I get over the massive can't-think-of-character-names block, maybe.

Is there one? Because if not, is it ever going to be done? Because mini-varrens would be awesome (mini-Thresher Maws just don't bear thinking about). Or would it be mini-geth (also good)/(really)-mini-Reapers?

I still can't find any Chell/GLaDOS things for the Portal fandom. That means I have to write one now, doesn't it?

Link please.

And I want the next mini-Tribble. :P How should [Insert name in question here] be spelt then? I've not really seen DS9 and I could have sworn you did spell [Name] that way.

Is it any good?

I think the voice acting comment is unfair. Hugo Weaving was all right as he's actually Elrond. The other voice actors, frankly, I didn't even notice them (except the Witch-king, because I hated every part of that stupid battle). The only actor (barring Weaving) who put in an effort is also the only one who shouldn't have done. "Use your special arrows!" No! I won't! The special arrows are ridiculous! Three arrows at once? I kill you!

And mounted combat was moronic. I've driven tricycles with more power. In regards to combos, what combos? Warrior class's special ability is "Rapid Death." Ironically, the best class is the Mage that shouldn't exist.

Oh, God, take mine! Take mine! I have literally thousands of the gorramn things and hundreds that hang on!

And yeah, I'm going to do the same with Trek XI when I get the DVD. :P It'll be fun. I'm actually going to test a theory soon that the most popular Star Trek films are also the ones with the most plotholes in.

And the Pyramids were created by the Goa'uld, so faulty example. *blocks out reality* :D

I just went, wait, what? Cos my knowledge of the Bible could probably comfortably fit in an acorn cup and leave room for the acorn :D

*facepalm* That was Pads quoting the homosexuality bit, sorry. Got confused for a second there. Note to self: When posting past midnight, check facts better. At least *this* proves that research does prevent epic failure when writing.

I wanted a mini-Tribble. Ah well, there's always a next time, just as there's always more badfic.
