Ahhhh, I didn't know that turning it on and using it were two separate items.
I don't know anything about colliding particles. I'm a frickin' microbiologist.

The day the Hadron Collider is used.
I thought it was supposed to be set off a few days ago?
I'm so confuuuuuuuuused
Wait, what's on September 10?
I'm losing track of my world endings here.
Could've sworn "I Cannot Believe My Eyes" is actually known as "On the Rise."
Well, we'll find out when the soundtrack is released. Hurry up official soundtrack!
I think you're right.
At the time I was updating with lyrics, I was pretty much going by the fan-given titles that made the most sense to me.

If you're going to spell Nostradamus wrong intentionally, at least do so somewhat cleverly.
Like "Nostradumbass."
I think that one's alright if extremely disrespectful.
This thread has made me terminally ill from its overall horribleness and… Horribleness.
Oh except this post this was a good one.
@Earthworm:

Thanks a lot, jerks. You can find a cure for AIDs or whatever awesome thing I was destined to accomplish later in life on your own.
@Solar:
This is the worst thread I've ever seen here, what the hell.
This answer is the best answer.
Thank you so much! :) I had kind of a horrible week, but today was quite nice. I've been getting a pretty good deluge of well-wishes and such all day.
I am never going to stop hearing about Abyss and Black Butler. Ever. A ton of people I know have been fangirling over both of them for AGES, and just as I'm starting to get used to the constant trickle of "omg Abyss" and "omg Black Butler" they just gotta go and prolong it by pulling this. There is going to be a surge and I'm going to want to choke bitches.
Why do you do this to me, people who make anime? Why?
At least I expect them to be phenomenally successful, so I guess I can't really fault them for it too much.
Wake me up when the second season of Kaiji starts up in 2009.
This just in
Roz performs thread necromancy to announce that Baccano! has been licensed by FUNimation.
:D
:D
Also if anyone wants to check out the subbed episode they're referring to, the password's "Flying Pussyfoot."
There are 12 songs, although some people count the music that plays during the credits.
I updated the OP information and have now included all of the lyrics to the best of my ability. I'm glad that some of you enjoyed this. :>
Well I'm glad that I seem to have attracted, er, a tremendous amount of interest in this. Ahaha, oh well.
I was hoping to generate a bit of discussion, but what're you going to do.
REMINDER: today is the last day to access Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog for FREE. If anyone is interested, now's the time to check it out. The entire thing is only about 45 minutes long.
Mmm'kay, well, this is not Griffin/Pity Party thread and it looks like we've gotten about all the legit feedback we're gonna get about the private message situation.
If anyone has anything else [useful] to report, please send a message to one of the staff members so that we can address the problem more effectively.
Whos this Griffin guy, he has his own sub forum and everything, soooo, who exactly is he?:wassat:
April Fools joke that some people are still hung up on for some reason.
@Solar:
I might've missed something, but how did the accounts get hacked (if they indeed were, some of the banned people seem out of place from what I remember of them).
@Roz:
I don't really see the point in that since it's not like we know how they got into the accounts.
Tah-daaaaaaaaaaah.
I don't really see the point in that since it's not like we know how they got into the accounts. Seems like kind of an inconvenience and a waste of effort to me, unless you know your account has been nailed already or is highly likely to get nailed (And really, how would you tell unless you know something you're not telling us. ARE YOU HIDING SOMETHING TEREK?).
I wouldn't get my panties in a knot over it.
Yeah, I got one yesterday from glpav2. I reported it to taboo. I too thought it was hacking due to the post history, glad to hear that it was and a bunch of people just didn't turn trolls. But now I'm worried that this forum is gonna start getting hacked…
I kind of assumed it would be a one-time thing, but then again I suppose I shouldn't be presenting a challenge to whoever pulled this little stunt.
We'll see, I guess. For now, let's just stick to dealing with the problems we've got, not the ones we might get.
Heh, yeah Shini, I apparently lucked out too. Go figure.
Once again, if anyone gets one from someone who we haven't already given the boot to, please let us know. We obviously can't do much to get this under control without you guys's cooperation. :>
Yeah, we kinda started getting reports about them from various people a few hours ago. It kind of seemed like it was going to be a fairly contained incident, and, well, as more reports came in, we found that it wasn't.
That's right, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog!
(This is not Gordon Ramsay.)
Explanation: Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along blog is not an actual blog as the name implies. It's an online (for now) musical about the life of a mad scientist named Dr. Horrible, who apparently films a video blog on a regular basis.
The story so far follows Dr. Horrible as he tries to get into the Evil League of Evil, an evil organization for supervillains led by the terrifying Bad Horse. Aspiring supervillains such as Dr. Horrible have to submit applications to the organization and receive evaluations in order to join the League.
Unfortunately, Dr. Horrible is incredibly shy, not at all confident, and is overall kind of a klutz. He doesn't really seem to want to hurt people, and he doesn't even seem to know what he wants other than to take over the world and prove that he's evil.
Along with this, Dr. Horrible is in love with a cute redhead named Penny who he sees on a regular basis in a laundromat, but he's too shy to even talk to her. But his egotistical and heroic rival, Captain Hammer, isn't.
Online Musical? Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along blog was released over the span of a week in mid-July and was available for free on drhorrible.com through the Hulu streaming service. It is no longer available for free (unless you're a pirate) and as of this update can only be legitimately purchased on iTunes. A soundtrack and DVD with boatloads of special features (Rumors say it'll have singing commentary) are pending and cannot possibly come out soon enough. But anyway
This musical may or may not be (legitimately) available for free at any given time I have no idea what they're doing seriously.
Here's the main cast listing! Neil Patrick Harris as Dr. Horrible
Nathan Fillion as Captain Hammer
Felicia Day as Penny
Simon Helberg as Moist
**Dr. Horrible's is directed by Joss Whedon.
(Captain Hammer, you're our hero!)
LYRICS/TRACK LISTING! Here are the songs in order so far and their lyrics:
1. "With My Freeze Ray" sung by Neil Patrick Harris (Dr. Horrible).
! Laundry day
See you there
Under-things
Tumbling
! Wanna say
"Love your hair"
Here I go: "hithereI'm"
Mumbling
! With my freeze ray I will stop
The world
With my freeze ray I will find the time
To find the words to
! Tell you how
How you make
Make me feel
What's the phrase?
! Like a fool
Kinda sick
Special needs
Anyways
! With my freeze ray I will stop
The pain
It's not a death ray or an ice beam
That's all, Johnny Snow
I just think you need time to know that
I'm the guy to make it real
The feelings you don't dare to feel
I'll bend the world to our will
And we'll make time stand still!
! That's the plan
Rule the world
You and me
Any day
! "Love your hair"
(Penny): What?
"No I… I... I... love the.. air... heh."
Anyway
! With my freeze ray I will stop!
2. "Bad Horse" sung by the Whedon boys (Bad Horse's messengers).
! Bad Horse!
Bad Horse!
Bad Horse!
Bad Horse!
He rides across the nation
The thoroughbred of sin
He got the application
That you just sent in
It needs evaluation
So let the games begin
A heinous crime
A show of force
A murder would be nice of course
Bad Horse!
Bad Horse!
Bad Horse!
He's bad!
The Evil League of Evil
Is watching so beware
The grade that you receive
Will be your last we swear
So make the Bad Horse gleeful
Or he'll make you his mare
You're saddled up
There's no recourse
So Hi Ho Silver!
Signed Bad Horse!
3. "Caring Hands" (unofficial title), sung by Felicia Day (Penny).
! Will you lend a caring hand
To shelter those who need it?
Only have to sign your name
Don't even have to read it
Would you help, no, how about you?
! Will you lend a caring-
(Dr. Horrible): AAAAAAAAAAAAH!!
Oh!
(Dr. Horrible): AAAAAAH! AAAH! HAAAH! WHAT!?
4. "A Man's Gotta Do" sung by Neil Patrick Harris (Dr. Horrible), Nathan Fillion (Captain Hammer), and Felicia Day (Penny)
! (Dr. Horrible):
A man's gotta do
What a man's gotta do
Don't plan the plan
If you can't follow through
All that matters taking matters
Into your own hands
Soon I'll control everything
My wish is your command!
! (Captain Hammer):
Stand back everyone
Nothin' here to see
Just imminent danger
In the middle of it me!
! Yes, Captain Hammer's here
Hair blowing in the breeze
The day needs my saving expertise!
! A man's gotta do
What a man's gotta do
It seems destiny ends with
Me saving you
! The only doom that's looming
Is you loving me to death
I'll give you a second to catch your breath
! (Penny):
Thank you, Hammer man,
I don't think I can
Explain how important it was that you stopped the van
I would be splattered, I'd be crushed into debris
Thank you, sir, for saving me
! (Hammer):
Don't worry about it!
A man's gotta do
What a man's gotta do
(Penny): You came from above
(Dr. Horrible): Are you kidding!?
(Hammer): It seems destiny ends with me saving you
(Dr. Horrible): What heist were you watching!?
(Penny): I wonder what you're captain of?
(Dr. Horrible): Stop looking at her like that!
(Hammer): When you're the best you can't rest for less
(Dr. Horrible): Did you notice that he threw you in the garbage!?
(Penny): My heart is beating like a drum
(Hammer): His ass needs kicking, some ticking bomb to diffuse
(Dr. Horrible): I stopped the van!
(Penny): I must be in shock
(Dr. Horrible): The remote control was in my hand!
(Hammer): The only doom that's looming is you loving me to death
(Penny, overlapping): Assuming I'm not loving you to death
(Dr. Horrible): Whatever!
(Hammer and Penny): So please give me a second to catch my breath
(Dr. Horrible): BALLS.
5. "On the Rise," sung by Neil Patrick Harris (Dr. Horrible) and Felicia Day (Penny)
! (Dr. Horrible)
Any dolt with half a brain
Can see that humankind has gone insane
To the point where I don’t know
If I’ll upset the status quo
If I throw poison in the water main.
Listen close to everybody’s heart
And hear that breaking sound.
Hopes and dreams are shattering apart
And crashing to the ground!
I cannot believe my eyes!
How the world’s filled with filth and lies
But it’s plain to see
Evil inside of me is on the rise.
! (Penny:)
Look around.
We’re living with the lost and found
Just when you feel you’ve almost drowned,
You find yourself on solid ground,
And you believe there’s good in everybody’s heart.
Keep it safe and sound.
With hope you can do your part
To turn a life around.
I cannot believe my eyes
Is the world finally growing wise?
‘Cause it seems to me
Some kind of harmony is on the rise.
! (Dr. Horrible/Penny, overlapping)
Anyone with half a brain /Take it slow
Could spend their whole life howling in pain /He looks at me and seems to know
‘Cause the dark is everywhere and Penny doesn’t seem to care/The things that I’m afraid to show
You see the dark in me is all that will remain/And suddenly I feel this glow
Listen close to everybody’s heart /And I believe there’s good in everybody’s heart.
And hear that breaking sound. /Keep it safe and sound.
Hopes and dreams are shattering apart /With hope you can do your part
And crashing to the ground! /To turn a life around.
I cannot believe my eyes! /I cannot believe my eyes.
How the world’s filled with filth and lies, /How the world’s finally growing wise.
But it’s plain to see /And it’s plain to see
Evil inside of me is on the rise. /Rapture inside of me is on the rise.
6. "Bad Horse's Voicemail Message," sung by the Whedon boys (Bad Horse's messengers)
! He saw the operation you tried to pull to day
But your humiliation means he still votes “nay.”
And now assassination is just the only way
There will be blood; it might be yours.
So go kill someone. Signed, Bad Horse.
7. "Penny's Song" sung by Felicia Day (Penny)
! Here’s a story of a girl
Who grew up lost and lonely,
Thinking love was fairy tale
And trouble was made only for me.
Even in the darkness
Every color can be found,
And every day of rain brings
Water flowing to things growing in the ground.
! Grief replaced with pity
For a city barely coping.
Dreams are easy to achieve
If hope was all I’m hoping to leave.
Any time you’re hurt,
There’s one who has it worse around,
And every drop of rain will keep you growing
Seeds you’re sowing in the ground.
So keep your head up,
Billy-Buddy.
8. "Brand New Day," sung by Neil Patrick Harris (Dr. Horrible).
! This appeared as a moral dilemma.
‘Cause at first it was weird
Though I swore to eliminate
The worst of the plague that devoured humanity.
It’s true I was vague on the how .
So how can it be that you
Have shown me the light?
! It’s a brand new day
And the sun is high.
All the birds are singing
That you are going to die!
How I hesitated.
Now I wonder why?
It’s a brand new day!
! All the times that you beat me unconscious, I forgive.
All the crimes incomplete, listen, honestly I’ll live.
Mr. Clean, Mr. Right, Mr. Know-It-All is through.
Now the future is so bright, and I owe it all to you
Who showed me the light.
! It’s a brand new me.
I got no remorse.
Now the water’s rising,
but I know the course.
I’m gonna shock the world.
I’m gonna show that horse.
It’s a brand new day!
! And Penny will see the evil me.
Not a joke, not a dork, not a failure.
And she may cry, but her tears will dry,
When I hand her the keys to a shiny new Australia.
! It’s a brand new day.
Yeah, the sun is high.
All the angels sing
Because you’re gonna die!
Go ahead and laugh.
Yeah, I’m a funny guy!
Tell everyone good-bye.
It’s a brand new day!
9. "So They Say," sung by a bunch of people.
! (Moving man)
So they say
Captain Hammer’s become a crusader.
Political. He’s cleaning up the streets.
(Another moving man)
About time.
(Fan #1)
So they say that it’s real love.
(Fans)
So romantic.
(Fan #3)
He signed this.
(Penny)
So they say we’ll have blankets and beds
And can open on Monday.
Thanks to you.
(Hammer)
“Thanks to me.”
(News casters)
It’s the perfect story.
(Male news caster)
So they say.
(Female news caster)
A hero leading the way.
(Both casters)
Hammer’s call to glory.
(Female news caster)
Let’s all be our best.
(Male news caster)
Next up: Who’s gay?
! (Fan #2)
So they say he saved her life.
(Fan #1)
So they say she works with the homeless
And doesn’t eat meat.
We have a
(Fans)
Problem with her.
(Fan #3)
This is his hair.
(Hammer)
This is so nice.
I just might get to sleep with the same girl twice.
They say it’s better the second time.
They say you get to do the weird stuff.
(Fans)
We do the weird stuff!
(Penny)
This is perfect for me.
So they say.
I guess he’s pretty ok.
After years of stormy
Sailing have I finally found the bay?
(Moist)
“He’s still not picking up.”
(Dr. Horrible and Penny)
There’s no happy ending.
So they say.
(Dr. Horrible)
Not for me anyway.
(Penny)
Should I
(Dr. Horrible and Penny)
Stop pretending
Take a chance to build (Or is this)
A brand new day?
(Fan #3)
This is his dry cleaning bill.
(Fans)
Four sweater vests!
10. "Everyone's a Hero," performed by Nathan Fillion (Captain Hammer).
! (Hammer)
But I realized I’m not the only hero in the room tonight.
I’m not the only one who’s fighting.
It may not to feel too classy
Begging just to eat
But you know who does that?
Lassie, and she always gets a treat.
So you wonder what your part is
‘Cause your homeless and depressed.
But home is where the heart is,
So your real home’s in your chest.
! Everyone’s a hero in their own way.
Everyone’s got villains they must face.
They’re not as cool as mine,
But, folks, you know it’s fine
To know your place.
Everyone’s a hero in their own way
In their own not-that heroic way.
! So I thank my girlfriend, Penny.
Yeah, we totally had sex.
She showed me there’s so many
Different muscles I can flex.
There’s the deltoids of compassion.
There’s the abs of being kind.
It’s not enough to bash in heads,
You’ve got to bash in minds.
! Everyone’s a hero in their own way.
Everyone’s got something they can do.
Get up, go out, and fly.
Especially that guy.
He smells like poo.
! Everyone’s a hero in their own way.
You, and you, and mostly me, and you.
I’m poverty’s new sheriff
And I’m bashing in the slums.
A hero doesn’t care if you’re
A bunch of scary, alcoholic bums.
! EVERYBODY!
! (Hammer/crowd)
Everyone’s a hero in their own way. /Ahhhh We’re heroes, too.
Everyone can blaze a hero’s trail. /We’re just like you.
Don’t worry if it’s hard.
If you’re not a friggin' tard, /Oooo
You will prevail. /Ahhhh
Everyone’s a hero in their own way. /We’re heroes, too.
Everyone’s a hero in thei—(Hammer gets hit with the freeze ray)
11. "Slipping," sung by Neil Patrick Harris (Dr. Horrible)
! Look at these people.
Amazing how sheep will
Show up for the slaughter.
No one condemning
You. Lined up like lemmings,
You lead to the water.
Why can’t they see what I see?
Why can’t they hear the lies?
Maybe the fee’s
Too pricey for them to realize
Your disguise is
Slipping.
I think you’re slipping.
! Now that your savior’s
As still as the grave you’re
Beginning to fear me
Like cavemen fear thunder.
I still have to wonder:
Can you really hear me?
I bring you pain,
The kind you can’t suffer quietly.
Fire up your brain
Remind you inside you’re rioting.
Society is slipping.
Everything is slipping away.
So.
Go ahead! Run away!
Say it was Horrible!
Spread the word.
Tell a friend.
Tell them the tale!
Get a pic!
Do a blog!
Heroes are over with.
Look at him.
Not a word.
Hammer, meet nail!
Then I win
Then I get everything I ever—
All the cash
All the fame
And social change
Anarchy
That I run
It’s Dr. Horrible’s turn!
You people all have to learn
This world is going to burn! (ZAP!)
Burn! (ZAP!)
-Yeah, it’s two R’s. H-o-r-r—alright.
Burn!
No sign of Penny.
Good. I would give any-
Thing not to have her see
It’s going to be bloody.
Head up Billy-buddy.
There’s no time for mercy.
Here goes no mercy.
… That’s... not a good sound.
(Dr. Horrible gets punched by an unfrozen Hammer)
"Everyone's a Hero" continued:
! (Hammer, as he flips Dr. Horrible the bird): WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!
Final track: "Everything You Ever Wanted," sung by Neil Patrick Harris (Dr. Horrible) + a chorus
! (Dr. Horrible)
Here lies everything.
The world I wanted at my feet.
My victory’s complete.
(Chorus)
So hail to the king. Everything you ever
Arise and sing
! (Dr. Horrible)
So your world’s benign.
So you think justice has a voice,
And we all have a choice.
Well, now your world is mine,
(Chorus)
Everything you ever
(Dr. Horrible)
And I am fine.
! Now the nightmare’s real.
Now Dr. Horrible is here
To make you quake with fear,
To make the whole world kneel,
(Chorus)
Everything you ever
(Dr. Horrible)
And I won’t feel
! (Spoken) …A thing.
GO GO GO GO GO WATCH IT NOW GO
Did you just post a spoiler outside the spoiler thread before the chapter is out? Glad I only saw a glimpse of it. Bad sab, bad. XD
I see no such thing, dear Buuhan.
Thread re-split, with a snazzy new title.
If I missed any posts that should be in here or you don't like my awesome title, please tell me. :>
I wouldn't really call it being overzealous, since even you said that it's possibly a dupe thread and apologized for it in advance.
I'm taking a look at it right now. Since it seemed to be a point generating a decent discussion of its own, I probably will go ahead and split it as requested.
I might give it a snazzier title though. :>
There's really no way to objectively state such a thing, as comparative strength doesn't really work since we haven't seen them canonically (lol canon) pitted against each other in such a way that we could accurately measure their individual strengths. And, this being the One Piece universe, we've seen that people can pull some pretty impressive things out of the air all of a sudden as it is, making it a purely situational and hypothetical question that will probably eventually devolve into a popularity contest.
As such, this seems to be (essentially) a bizarre mix between a theories thread and a versus thread.
Also the correct answer is Kokoro. Because I like her. :)
Obviously, it exists to keep Quexinos and Terek from stalking half the forum.
… I have no idea. I assume it's a default forum characteristic that we never bothered to get rid of because no one brought it up/it didn't seem important enough to warrant screwing with the forum coding.
I'm sorry, but this screams alt.
I'll have to look into it here in a sec. For now, I'm sticking this in the "Questions that don't deserve their own threads" thread.
So… The impression that I'm getting here is something that would go into this category:
@The administration. On the rules page.:
Roleplaying, while fun, can be a source of drama, and is something that our staff does not have the time to moderate. It is not allowed on the forum, however, we encourage our members to RP elsewhere.
That aside, it sounds like it would be an enormous pain to keep track of for the administration, what with having to shove a ton of child boards on here for each group. It's a nifty idea, but I don't think it's really us. (Did that make sense?)
We've got enough goofy cliques and groups here as it is.
I'm gonna stand here and hold my breath until I get my way. >:|
I don't know, I just don't see the point in it. Are we really so pressed on forumspace that we need to try to cut down on what gets posted as much as possible? I just don't see how a few "thank you! (16 characters olololololol)" posts are hurting anything significantly. If people can't just scroll past these posts and read on to the more substantial ones that may interest them, I question why they thought it would be a good idea to join a forum in the first place.
Definitely sounds like another variant of the reputation system. And, like the reputation system, there's also potential for abuse and needless internet drama. Imagine the scenario of someone rating his/her own post 50 times using various accounts and proxies, only to have a moderator reduce them and have him/her complain, thus revealing the fraud.
It's an invitation for trouble.
I was going more for "we don't need it" than "it will tear this family apart" but I guess this works too
It sounds like a glorified one-sided rep system if I'm reading this right.
It's a stretch, but when I read the thread title I thought it was a misspelling of "qwantzcast" and thought it would be about Dinosaur Comics, possibly relating to some kind of podcast.
I am sorely disappointed.
I think it would be an interesting experience.
Really? I thought that sounded more appealing.
To each his own I guess.
I'd prefer something not-instant. Like bleeding to death or something.
Anything involving space is out of the damn question for me.
I hate space so much.
Seriously if I die from a meteor strike or something I'm gonna be pissed.
I've actually put a lot of thought into this, and I've pretty much come up with a list of ways that I don't want to die instead.
It basically includes really embarrassing or flashy things. I wanna have a boring death. And I'd like to know what caused it because not knowing would suck.
I'd also rather not get murdered because I think that would be really awkward.
Also I would like to get old because goddamn old people can be hot.
What we should do is upload a crapload of Rick Roll Video's and put anything Viacom owns on the title. That may not work, but it will really piss Viacom off.
You have fun with that.
In b4 Godwin's Law.
What they're doing is quite petty and rather stupid, but whatever.
Oh no they'll know that I really really like Kaiji parodies.
"Fire Escape" by Fastball.
This song is delicious. Mm.
Ahaha, well, there are only two icons I ever need and they're both pretty easy to find. I just have to make my eyes meet. :D
Thanks, though, I'm glad it's not just me who likes it.
You've got hells of icon clutter going there, chica.
Here's a little version of what I eventually settled on for my laptop. It's a bit plain, but I like plain wallpapers. My main goal was to use a lot of red or a color that goes well with red to match the actual laptop itself (which is a few different shades of red. And horribly ugly.).
Plus Kazuya.
