General Discussion Thread II

[piratemarimo]

Wow I didn't even notice the page number. So Cyan is the lucky first poster of page 400 eh? and I'm second… But knowing how crazy the general discussion thread can get, the real number of pages probably passed 400 a long time ago amirite? :ninja:

dammit Mia, why are you making me cry at this time of night? :cwy: I sure wish America had commercials like that though. I actually keep a long list of commercials I condemned to hell in order to keep track of which products never to buy ever (good thing there's more than one insurance company in the world).

I remember a long time ago when my family actually used to watch TV together. The only reason we watched the Super Bowl was for the commercials and we'd get up and leave the room when the game was on. Good times.

[THE SEA]

Thanks for reminding me of these commercials. Watched them a long time ago and some of them inspired me massively.
The My girl, Father and son, and Pantene commercials managed to get tear from me. Goddamn I am a sappy fucker.

[Herodadotus]

@trappedolphin:

What's the Superbowl anyhow?

I mean I know it's about football/rugby/handegg/badminton but what happens do people go on the streets and drape toilet paper on trees and beat each other up

@Nami:

BAHAHAHA
I'd love it if they would do this instead :D

You haven't seen a Superbowl party in New Mexico, my dears. Or Detroit.

But in Detroit things just end up burning to the ground, no matter what the occasion.

Friggin' hell, why was I not informed?!

[Insider2000]

No offense to soccor to rugby, but I generally don't watch any form of sports to witness an injury. In fact, seriously injuries draw me away from the screen.

[MDL]

i wasn't trying to glorify injuries, i was just making a joke >.>

i'm actually the same in my thoughts about injuries.

[trappedolphin]

hahaha I just saw this tweet: US Government to send Black Eyed Peas to Egypt to force Mubarak to leave

@Miadestroystokyo:

why does it always feel like asia has all these long, moving, commercials??

u1OmpTPffQc

But I didn't cry…. whut.

[GypsyCarts]

I'm shocked I didn't wake up to the entire South burning pictures of Christina Aguilera, shouting how she doesn't love America or something.

[C_uggs]

Now we are talking about comercials ?
Well,here began to pass Commercials that encourage rugby in Brazil,quite funny if you ask me.

"This one guy walking down the street, suddenly a fan appeared next to him and asked

• you're not that famous rugby player, you can give me an autograph?
  and he - yes, of course, and sign the paper.
  The fan goes out, and he gets in his car,when he sits, the fan sits in the passenger seat next to him,and he speaks - thanks wife. "

@captain:

I´m Back from the show
HEY EVERYBODY…!!

Sorry,I will pass...don´t like it.
As Mia said..Posting on Page 400 FTW.

How went the RapCordian? Do you think it will go mainstream now?

[Mokenda_mint]

My favorite Super Bowl commercial ever

X'D
that cheered me up from the whole

! 'They're-All-Getting-Killed' thing with Homestuck updates ; A ;
First Tavros, then Feferi, then Kanaya, and now Equius ; A ;
jeegus.
Sollux is unconscious, Karkat is shitting bricks, Terezi is looking around, Kanaya kinda turned out to be a vampire by the looks of things… Gamzee just strangled Equius to death with a bow, and Nepeta saw it. Oh, and Aradia is busy pwning Bec Noir whilst Vriska and Eridan have gone off somewhere after killing ; u ;
maaaaan.
Homestuck - Kids and Fun.

…only really spoilers if you are a Homestuck fan.
Damn it Hussie ; A ;

GUESS WHOSE (wut.) BIRTHDAY IT WAS YESTERDAAAAAAAAAY~

[Zoro's F-150]

Ok, Antoines Quest is on hold.

I have a new idea for a video game. A King of the Hill video game.

I thought of ideas for the game on the way home from work one night. You could make a mini game where you stand in the alley and use the Wiimote to lift your beer and say yep, but you'd have to do it in rythm or Kahn will think you're up to something and come talk to you. We all know nobody likes talking to Kahn.

Then of course there's mowing the lawn, trying to sell as much propane as possible, and there could be a sidequest where you play as Dale and you have to kill bugs without smoking yourself out

And let's not forget the cooking mama style game, except you only cook hamburgers and steaks, and only on a propane grill

Any ideas that you guys would like to suggest?

[Saturn Beaver]

Sorry, never really watched King of the Hill, so I can't help you there.

You know, I think that guy could win a Grammy or a Nobel Peace Prize, and the rest of the internet world would still know him by the RickRoll singer. I wonder, if only he'd at least get a dollar royalty for each time that song is played, he'll be amongst the richest artist right now…

There needs to be a Cotton Mode where you have to kill fiddy men in as little time as possible.

[Miadestroystokyo]

I really like this song that was made just for this commercial. theres no full version sadly.

@Flux:

How went the RapCordian? Do you think it will go mainstream now?

thanks for asking, people were surprised at first, but over time they enjoyed.

About mainstream ?

People really liked (but did not ask for an encore)
perhaps with time, who knows?
backstage VIP's told me it was an innovative fusion.

ON TOPIC:Doritos ? with sour cream :wub:

[Nami]

Woah, Mia. That's a really sad video. And so true, too.

[THE SEA]

This post is deleted!

[MDL]

fuck, that video made me tear up.

[ChesCa]

It's kind of sad when you think about it: in my experience, kids are the most easily influenced and deceived, and because of that I wouldn't be surprised that, if things went unchecked in a society or something, they'd probably be the most exploited.
I know I had a bad influence that had consequences for me later.

[Nami]

Yeah, I have some kind of dark secret that has to do with these "children see, children do" thing, so I can relate to that really good.

But I guess, we all can.

No problem bud. I hope you can take it further. This could be your thing. Move onwards and upwards.

I love Sour Cream and Onion Pringles. (Not as awful as they sound; tatsy. Though I don't like them as much as I have memories from when I got sick recently and ate them and my sickness made me unable to taste the flavour)

[Herodadotus]

@Chucklepants:

Friggin' hell, why was I not informed?!

I dunno if you wanted to be informed. Unless you enjoy playing the game "What the hell happened last night?".

Never again.

@GypsyCarts:

To be fair, she did do a pretty bad job. Not as bad as the halftime entertainment, of course.

Edit: @Flux: Sour Cream and Onion Pringles are amazing. Good taste, brosef.

[MDL]

i can't find the original post of when it was mentioned.

can anyone remember when the mistakes in Yakko's world were laid out in full after it was posted in a thread on this site somewhere?

i remember there were a lot of them.

can anybody who's knowledgable list off the main mistakes relevant to when it was released?

This is seriously depressing, but he had a long life and wrote a lot of great books. He always seemed like he'd just go on living forever, passionately writing wonderful stories, so it really comes as a shock to me. Moment of silence for a great author. R.I.P. Brian Jacques.

[Sakonosolo]

I don't know who that is but may he rest in piece.

[ChesCa]

I haven't had the pleasure of reading his books, but I can't help but feel sad when an older, more experienced story teller leaves us.
R.I.P., Mr. Jacques

[THE SEA]

He will get more famous after death.
It has always been this way.

Shit, Mr Jacques is the name of my Latin Teacher. That scared me. He's old, senile and racist.

Every Asian is branded with the surname 'chang.'

[Bill]

How racist? Like I hate black people or Asians racist or what?

[Nami]

@Flux:

Chang like… Community Chang?

@Nami:

I guess, but it ain't no reference. He did tell us he watches Dancing with the Stars, and he once tried to smuggle spanners through customs. Oh and on that trip he used the same showers as our rowing team.

I'm pretty sure Redwall got me into liking medieval themed fantasy. This is super freakin sad.

But his books will live on forever, wot wot!

[GypsyCarts]

Aw. That's very unfortunate. May he rest peacefully.

[Herodadotus]

Aw man. That's terrible news. Rest in Peace, you glorious storyteller, you.

[Zoro's F-150]

Do you guys want to give me 3 grand and a video camera, so that I can make an Ocarina of Time movie a reality? The 3 grand would be for paying some hot arabian chicks to dress like Gerudos.

[Bobjr]

I once encountered an all women warrior tribe. Boy, that was a sticky situation.
