Eh...I definitely don't enjoy the atmosphere or storyline as much as Fallout 3. Call me a sucker for grand, epic tales of heroism and villainy, but Obsidian's focus on "personal quests" don't seem to grip me quite as tightly as the awesomeness that was the backdrop for FO3...and sadly, I'm also...

I have a feeling that I oversimplify a lot of things...especially things that really shouldn't be simplified. I find that it's easier to think in broad generalities rather than bringing in too much detail... Of course, that could also just be because I'm lazy and prefer to speed through...

Man, I've never played Nocturne...but I think I have to get my hands on a copy (if only for the awesome battle music). Shoji Meguro is pretty damn awesome. ...although he's gotta be tied with Daisuke Ishiwatari, the creator/composer for the Guilty Gear series of games:

I couldn't have said it better myself. I really think that the MBTI should be used to create new paths and possibilities, not destroy old ones; like it's been said (countless times) before on this forum, people don't have their personalities because they're a certain type - they're that type...

...isn't an infiltrator not supposed to draw attention to themselves? :p In all seriousness, though, welcome to the forum!

Despicable Me - the film's actually pretty funny. There's a lot of shout outs to pop culture, and its brand of humour is one that can appeal to kids and adults. I'd recommend seeing it with a friend (so you can catch as many references as possible).

The Persona 4 Soundtrack is pretty amazing - I never thought I'd find myself humming the tune to a JPop/hiphop song. Opening: YouTube- Persona 4 OP Battle Theme: YouTube- Persona 4 - Reach out to the Truth (Battle Theme) Then, of course, there's always Nobuo Uematsu's work with Final...

I think I have to agree with Oblivious and EditorOne on this one - if (and even if) we weren't able to make a difference, that doesn't mean that we shouldn't try to keep ourselves informed about current events; after all, if everyone did that, then there wouldn't be anyone to keep those in power...

Well, the webcomic is titled Manly Guys Doing Manly Things... But failing that:

Dostoevsky is great - he creates unique scenarios and memorable characters while managing to touch on (seemingly) unchanging themes. I'd suggest starting with Crime and Punishment - it's got an intriguing plot, but there are also so many undertones to pick up on. Notes from Underground was...

Deus Ex is a great game - I can't wait for the third one to come out (and it looks amazing, if the trailers are any indication). I've got to second the support for TNM - the sheer amount of work that was put into that mod is pretty mind boggling (although I didn't like the level design as much...

I've been thinking about this (somewhat) recently myself, actually. If I had to place money on one side, I think it'd go to the pirates - I really don't think that "copyright protectors" are going to be able to silence everyone's voice; like those articles imply, it's too time-consuming and...

Bonjour (I would say more in French, but I never really paid any attention in junior high and high school...) ;) In any case, welcome to the madhouse (bienvenue a la maison des fous?) - how'd you find out you were an INTP/stumble onto this forum?

I love Brawl - playing as Snake is definitely the funnest, what with the planning/mind games involved (five explosives on the screen at once? allllllllllllright!) I also enjoy playing street fighter, but I wouldn't buy it/consider it a favourite. I tend to do fairly well against other people...

Mortal Engines by Philip Reeves is a pretty good read, too...in short, it's a steampunk future where cities move and eat each other for more scrap, so they can keep moving/eating (it's better than it sounds).

who am I up to? haha, that's a good one...ergh, I figured out that a girlfriend is way too much work to be worth it - first you've got to find them, and then you've got to keep up with them regularly... nah, what with FFXIII, exams, and kiwanis I've been distracted from surfing the forums...

Possibly not Elvish - I'm inclined to believe that it is "backwards-ish", a relatively old language that developed before the times of the ancients ;). Anyhow, welcome to the forum, laughing man.

Arrogance...hmm. I think one of the biggest things that will lead people to think that you're arrogant is your tone/delivery moreso than what you actually say. If you act all 'high and mighty' (which I really doubt you do), or if you talk down to people, then that'll probably make people think...

To tell you the truth, Luminates, I wouldn't worry about it too much. The MBTI isn't the be-all end-all, and its value is more of a guide/starting point to finding out about your personality. As you've probably already found out, the test isn't quite accurate in divining someone's "true"...

Water Monkey (sounds pretty badass).

You are a Crow! (your score: 28) Characters: Rhia, Coranna, Damen in the Aspect of Crow trilogy; John in "The Wild's Call" Powers: foreseeing death, communicating with the dead, resurrection As a Crow, you are analytical, adaptable, and exceedingly clever. You like solving problems...

Elrond A stern yet benevolent organizer who often knows best, your wits are keenly fixed on aiding efforts you deem worthy. Now at this last we must take a hard road, a road unforseen. There lies our hope, if hope it be. To walk into peril to Mordor. ...hmm.

Armour...is a good idea (just make sure it deflects ideas, not bullets). I take it that you have a fascination in astronomy, and are living in a country where people drive on the left side of the road (either that or Canada?) In any case, welcome aboard - I'm sure you'll find some way to waste...

col. william cumming...that's an unfortunate person to name a city after :p

You could check out a college/university library if you live in a city/town with one. There's a good chance you'll find something on abnormal psychology in the bookstacks; if not, if there's a psychology degree offered then chances are that there'll be a course on abnormal psychology, so you...

Ouch, man. I know how you feel (as I play instruments, too), and I know how nerve-wracking it is to play a solo when the pressure's on. I wish I could tell you that there's a magic bullet, but if there is I haven't found it yet. However, I do think that practicing in front of other people...

Jaico. Or maybe Cairn...

I think what EditorOne suggested is a good idea - try and bring it to people higher up if he won't listen to reason. I've had to put up with someone like that (although admittedly, not as bad) before, and it was a pain in the ass. The only other thing that I could say is to either just ignore...

Your Aspie score: 106 of 200 Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 107 of 200 You seem to have both Aspie and neurotypical traits Hmm. Even though the test didn't diagnose me as having Asperger Syndrome, I'm kinda wary of the test...there were a few questions that didn't make too much...

So, partly because the sub-rosa forum is nearly empty and partly because of the subject I thought that it would be apt to put this thread here. The main question is that given the amount of data that Google has collected/has the potential to collect, do you think that it is or will be a serious...

I would tell you to not mind the crazies, but then that would mean you'd discount the entire forum...welcome to the madhouse ;).

Off the top of my head, sustainable development (or the lack thereof) is a pretty pressing topic - and I'm not just talking about environmental sustainability, either (although that's a pretty major part). Sustainable development can really encompass a lot of things (great for writing a paper...

Pretty much any of the highly rated games on Armour Games...they've got a whole bunch that are great. I liked Infectonator, Sonny 2, Portal (Flash Version), This is the Only Level, and Achievement Unlocked.

Something is defined as overrated when something is "given an undue amount of credit for quality or merit in a field" (thanks, wiktionary! :p)...which seems to be quite a subjective thing to me. What might be overrated to one person (see also: Nickelback) may be adored by millions upon millions...

I'd have to say that Mozart is, as composers go, a tad overrated. To me, his music just seems so light, fluffy, and...inane. I mean, it's great/easy to listen to, but it always seems as if it's lacking something that other composers (not necessarily later ones) seem to bring to the table...

While I do agree with Del in that a campus tour with your dad could be nice/would be good to assuage his anxiety, I also think that $1000 can go a long way. To be honest, I don't think that you'd pick up anything really worthwhile out of a quick college tour, and most colleges/college towns...

*Is bitter and deprived* So...my disappearance really didn't change things too much? :p Busy with life, I guess, though. There was a whole lot of stuff I had to take care of, and it didn't leave me much time to lurk on the forums...exams are done in a week, though, so I will definitely be on...

I think I'm like you, imchristinak. I'm right-handed, yet I tend to favour winking with my right eye, and whenever I play silent scope I always sight with my left eye...I haven't looked through a viewfinder in a camera in ages, because I have a normal digital camera, and not an SLR or anything...

I don't know if my advice will help, but I'll give it a shot. I like to jot down a few points that I'd like to speak about, and then just write about them as they come. I find that if you do that, not only does writing the 'content' portion of your speech come more naturally, but speaking it...

Hmm. I've definitely thought about this/discussed the theoretical possibility with friends. I live in a port community, so the obvious choice would be to hightail it to a boat, and just make sure that no zeds crawl their way up the anchor lines. The port's downtown, so scavving for food and...

Biochemistry...because of Metal Gear Solid. No, really - MGS has been a source of inspiration for me (sad as that sounds)...I really want to work in genetics. I'm also toying with the idea of doing a minor (or even a joint honours) in psychology, so I can study the whole nature/nurture thing...

Creator. Go figure...

I agree with this wholeheartedly, RT. There's always going to be a "macro" and a "micro" to everything - me, I prefer the macro...how everything fits together, how/why things are the way they are. I think that science should be more about the concepts, explanation, and understanding rather...

I'd very much say that language (which is really an extension of one's culture) can and does affect our thought processes; if one is taught from birth a language that contains words that only represent 'positive' emotions, it would be harder for someone to express negative feelings (as there...

Dogs are alright (sometimes), but I have to say that I can get along so much better with cats than dogs. A dog usually puts me on guard for some strange reason, but I feel that I can chill out when a cat's around (plus, I find cats way more adorable than dogs).

Terrible. I really, really, hate getting back to people with emails - I keep putting it off (usually trying to avoid telling them something), and it keeps getting worse and worse as I put it off more and more...I know I shouldn't do it, but it ends up happening anyways (and that's when I do...

:( sorry for the not-respondingness for a while I've been...busy eh, who needs presents...but no cake must've really sucked still - your first year at university must almost be over, right?

:( At least you can look forward to your birthday...which is always good (because birthday = cake + presents)

your typing rate is : 127 wpm words typed : 75 mistakes made : 4 which is 6.7 mistakes per minute ...I think I over-rely on auto-correct in Microsoft Word :rolleyes:.

Reading the basics on the SRD is always a good idea, Irishpenguin - but I'm sure that you can pick up a lot of stuff as we go along, anyhow. Alright, here's to continuing the story: The villagers had always avoided that area; the winds had always sounded like the wail of a banshee, and the air...
