Off Topic - Main

[John.d.h]

Just a small pet peeve of mine: it would be nice if everyone could refrain from posting lots of large images on the forum.  It really clutters up a thread and makes it load a lot slower.  Putting them in url tags instead of img tags would save everyone a little bit of hassle.  That way, everyone still has access to the image but they don't have to load it every time they view the thread.  On top of that, some sites disable hot-linking anyway, so instead of your image you get something like this.  Note: I'm only talking about large images, since the small ones don't really make much difference.

Ok, yah, I'll change my images to hotlinks in the senior members topic, other's please do the same.

Okay, I don't know if anyone noticed, but I have a thing going where if you can figure out who said my quote, you can choose the next one.  I am changing it to 'A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse'.  I hope someone can figure that out.

P.S. Sigismund, a Holy Roman Emperor said "I am the king of Rome, and above grammar.".

[assassin]

That was from Shakespeare's Richard III 
I just saw that play.

Nice.  Whats the next quote?  Make it a hard one, and P.M. me the answer.

In regards to another thread.

I consider Canada to be the best place in the world. There's no place I'd rather live. We are well known as the friendliest country in the world, and are also one of the most peaceful.

I've been told it's really clean, too...

We are probably the only country where every citizen can happily sew their countries flag to their back pack.

I would think the Libyan flag would be the easiest.

Sorry americans, but comparing canada to USA is contrasting rich to poor. Your country will be indebt for at least a millenium from this year alone at the way it's going!

Individually, Americans are still some of the richest in the world, though with our economy who knows how long that's going to last.  It's mainly just our government that's broke, and our real estate market.

Your president attacked our HEALTH CARE SYSTEM, one of the best in the WORLD!

Hmm... not sure that putting people on long waiting lists and rationing out the best medications/care is the way to go.  It would be even worse in the USA if we adopted a similar system, because we're always having a massive shortage of health care workers.  If suddenly everybody got free medical care, every doctor and nurse in the country would probably have to start working 90 hours a week to keep up.  As it is, some procedures already have to be scheduled months in advance.  While I really do like the idea of universal health care, it's a very hard system to implement, and even harder to get right.

You know I think my Dad would love to join into this conversation.

Australia is awesome  . Just had to. 

[Mark]

I really don't want to get into politics, because it would make some hard feelings, but America has a lot of problems.  If I only had one thing to say, it would be how impressed I am by your patriotism.  I mean, every time I read the news, I feel like everything in the world is going bad for America.  You however, can see lots of positive things in your country.  Good Job!

The quote game has been updated.  Assassin got the last quote, and now the quote is "An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind."

P.S. Don't overestimate its difficulty, it is an easy one. 

[silnarm]

As a dual citizen of the two best countries in the world, I can concur with both Omega and Hailstone

PS: -Gandhi

True Silnarm! I guess most people are proud of their country (though I may doubt that for poor countries, including africa, some parts of south america, and asia). I remember that Gameboy's profile says he dislikes India (or where ever).

My parents are both nurses (Pediatrics and Obstetrics), so trust me, I know our health care fairly well. Of course, it probably differs per province, and mine (saskatchewan) is probably the best place in Canada to be right now. Our economy is the best. The 'recession' didn't affect me one bit, and many people I know (who dont watch the news or read papers) didn't even know there was one! I had appendicitis in Grade 4, and had no troubles.

@Silnarm, what are you a duel-citizen of? Canada and Australia?

PS: I like australia!

[silnarm]

@Silnarm, what are you a duel-citizen of? Canada and Australia?

Yep Canadian born, Australian bred.

Pretty sweet deal

I think it's in your system tools menu and I seem to remember that it's not under keyboard, so try under accessibility or universal access, whatever the thing for people with disabilities is called.

[-Archmage-]

I want to not be able to turn it on cause I have to keep turning it off all the time.

All the settings are so that I don't get sticky keys unless I activate it, but I activate it so often when I'm holding shift and thinking.

[Kung Fu Panda]

when I press and hold shift for a long time, sticky-keys used to get activated before... I had disabled them from some options where I went from a notice that used to come up whenever I used to hold shift for more than 5 seconds
I use an assembled computer so i don't know the company but i use XP if that helps..
I used to deactivate them by holding shift again for some time when i didn't have the guts to venture into the settings tho i don't remember any message coming up..
hope it helped/helps any1 in future     

[Kung Fu Panda]

sorry for DP - I have no other choice coz im changing topic...
get ready for......      JOKES!!
1st kid:"u know what? My dad can swim so well.. he can jump into the Atlantic ocean and come up in the     Arctic!"
2nd kid:"My Dad can jump into the Indian ocean and come up from the Pacific!"
3rd kid:"Oh yeah? My Dad can jump into a water-tank and come from the pipe!

a guest comes to the house of his ...well you'll know who ...
 the guy's son opens the door.
Guest:"Where is your father?"
son:"He is bed sleeping"(he doesn't know English properly)
the guest gets the idea and goes back... and Dad comes in
Dad:"Who was it son?"
Son:"so-and-so"(it doesn't matter)
Dad:"what did you say?"
Son:"My father is bed sleeping"
Dad:"U IDIOT! *slaps him tight across the cheek*You should've said 'my father was in the toilet!'"
Son:"Okay Dad I'll say it next time"
They go to a shop and son sees mangoes(which he like very much) being brought and put for sale
Son:"Mangoes! big big!"
Dad:"*slaps him tight again*say 'putting big big mangoes!'" (as u see dad isn't that great in Eng either)
Son:"Okay Dad"
going home, a security man stops their vehicle
Security man:"How fast were you driving?"
Son(who happened to answer first):"Car driving 160 speed!!" (its km/h in case you are open-mouthed)
Dad:"*slaps him yet again* say 'AT 160 SPEED!'
Son:"Okay Dad"
Next day.. the guest comes again..
Guest:"Where is your father?"
Son(remembering the slaps):"My father is in the toilet, putting big big mangoes, at 160 speed!"

   

[assassin]

[Kung Fu Panda]

lol, the second joke is nasty...

I gotta show my dad those,  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

lol thanks why don't you guys continue by posting your own?

edit(or rather an addition):what does btw mean? ???

[-Archmage-]

BTW= By The Way

[Kung Fu Panda]

Geez it was so simple? I was scratching my head out for almost a week now  :'(
 
btw archmage101, the elementals v1.4 is different from the elementals in the eleminion tech tree rite?
and holy shit! where's the balance? look at the dominion faction!!
anyway,.. HOW THE DO YOU PRODUCE ARCHMAGES!!! ???

in my machine I did some XML editing and gave the temple of myths the skill and command to produce him.

[-Archmage-]

I'll play my mod again sometime next week, and fix it up some if I find any problems.
Also I might do some modeling for it.

But ok ok ok ok ok ENOUGH OFF TOPIC! .

Contunue this discussion in my Elemental or Eleminion topics.

[Kung Fu Panda]

I'll play my mod again sometime next week, and fix it up some if I find any problems.
Also I might do some modeling for it.

what do you mean 'do some modeling'? You don't mean you're gonna release another version are you?
omg I gotta download 96 MB another time?  
I wish I hadn't told you what I did  lol
well I have a suggestion - the elementals archmage is very strong so make a building for him which you have to make at the very last you know what Im saying?
and perhaps increase his gold cost by a hundred or so id you want
because of his 3000 EP regen rate you can just send him to static fire everyone out!(though its a lot of fun  lol)

edit: in the eliminion tech tree, You could make rebellion a little stronger coz Dominion sucks with AI AND its kinda difficult for Humans and AI rocks with Elementals so just make rebellion a little stronger - perhaps adding a heavy unit or two should do the trick and Presto you have balance! ;D
PS and give someone the hero armor man no one has it !

[-Archmage-]

You played with the XML, because I know that I did not set it like that.
