What the ?
Ok, this is kinda old news (its from november 26 2011) but still:
Its been a long time since I've had witnessed this much fail in a long time (since the fox "scandal" over mass effect actually)
but there was this moron who actually made a petition to the obama administration to destroy all copies of skyrim, and prosecute everyone who has played it to the full extent of the law.
o_O
I find it laughable because of this bit:
1. To enact an immediate ban on the videogame known as '
SkyRim
' produced by
Blizzard Entertainment
.
2. To seize and destroy all copies already in public hands and erase its presence on the internet.
3. To prosecute the players of 'SkyRim' to the fullest extent of the law.
4. To create a national database of videogame avatars and 'screen names' so that teenagers can be better monitored."
/facepalm.
if you're gonna make an ass out of yourself, at the very least
A: Learn how to spell the game you are trying to kill.
B: Learn who developed it in the first place.
C: Learn that its not an actual online game.
D: Learn that you really need a lobotomy if you can't honestly figure out the first 3 steps by now.
wow.
What the actual &*!@.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##asakawa##DELIM##

Original image.
I don't want to derail your Q&A thread anymore so I'm going to post here. That image is totally NOT toothless. Similar yes, but that image is everywhere on the internet. Kinda want to know where its really from now >_<
Hat
Guy based it on the eyes of Toothless; says so in the comments Hat; yes I know there are lots of cat eye images out there, but if you look, the pupils are rounded rather then pure slits...and yes, people have mentioned before that Toothless(or Night Furies) have kitty eyes.

Most people who try and ban entertainment on moral or religious grounds are people who never have and never will see it. (See: Dogma, Jerry Springer the Opera, Mass Effect etc.)
Anything by Rockstar lol.

jajajaja XD
man, ok, so the whole thing was actually from a parody/spoof/satirical website called "Christwire". Nothing on the website is serious, the guy is just doing a parody of the religious nutjobs like Cooper lawrence and the infamous rant regarding mass effect's romance cutscene.
The spoof is quite well done however, because to be fair, the real religious nuts are so insane the lines between parody and reality HAVE been blurred ;)
He was able to fool me xD.
Here
is another spoof article by the same dude.
I gotta say, I chuckled a little at this part:
SKYRIM LINGO: DOVAHKIIN – Is the supposed citizens of Skyrim, but is a code word that means:
D – Dirty
O – Orifice
V – Violation
A – Always
H – Hurts
K – Keep
I – Injecting
I – It
N – Naiant
Then it hit me =( there are sad people out there who actually THINK this way. And end up giving other christians like me a bad name. People can really take the overzealousness quite far.

@rankorr I've only recently learned that Christwire is mostly trolls acting as hardcore Christians and touting their ways on the forum in order to draw out people who are actually like that.
That's dedication. (And also hilarious)

yea, and they do it in such a convincing way, it took me a while to figure out they were actually trolling :P
Man, I bet God must be giving them all High-fives :P I know I would.
plus their creativity to make even the most innocent thing sound dirty and satanic is quite funny xD
Like how Skyrim's release date (11/11/11) was done on purpose to evoke phallic imagery.
LOL.

HOLY CRAP! That was an epic clip :P
Who would had tought a clip of 90 seconds of someone trying to catch a piece of sausage would be taht cool?
and also, curiously, the pic of that girl, on the walpaper, looks angry, and sorta frowning.
Yet due to wowhead's reduced pic size, the angry look, and the frowning, are invisible. Thus she looks like "O_O this tastes good"

She's not really angry or frowning, just concentrating really hard on drinking her juice box.

It's getting hot here! Sort of justified maybe if Sweden's starting to defrost. But you live in the freezer part of Sweden anyway, so....
Just don't pay attention to me. I don't know what I'm saying.

Göteborg is getting totally boss right now. Soon it will be too hot.
On another topic, I'm going to Australia to visit my uncle next year!

Are you sure that the beta is no less than 3 months or 6?
Take 2 factors into consideration for the answer to that question (the answer is yes btw)
A: All the other betas have lasted 5 months, all of them. I don't see why this would last less.
B: Lets assume for a second that they've advanced WAY MORE this time and thus the beta is shorter, there's still the fact that when a new patch hits the PTR, its ALWAYS there for at least 2 months.
If a patch (Which is nowhere near as complex as a full expansion) can stay in PTR form for 2 months, then a beta for an expansion CAN'T be shorter than 3 months. No way no how. The most shortest duration that thing could have is 3 months, and that's pushing it. I really don't think its gonna be any shorter than the other 5 month betas for TBC, WOTLK, and CATA.
Yeah, I've been on PTR patch that lasted like 2 or 1 month, why not 3 or 6 months on a expansion, also, i see that there is alot of bugs on the Official Beta Bug Report Forum that blizzard needs to fix. Also, how long cata expansion lasted on the beta?
I want to get in the beta to help blizzard out to get bugs out, i don't think there is another person like me that loves to report bugs.
I'll be honest here, my main motivation for participating in the beta is to see the content, since I suck at waiting, HOWEVER, if I did managed to nab an invitation to the beta, I'd reciprocate that invitation by doing what I was invited there to do, which is testing out the content, and reporting all the bugs and glitches in as detailed way as I can.
Yeah also that, my main thing (as you know) is to report bugs out as fast as i can to get the expansion live and get my characters to level 90 with all that new epic gear that i love =)
and i WILL be invited if i signed to the Annual Pass?
yep, you WILL be invited.
Over a million people grabbed the annual pass, they just can't let a million people try to log in at the same time, it would collapse the servers, it would collapse the pre-made creation page, or the character-copy page, it would create chaos.
As it is, there's only 4 servers up at the moment, each can hold a max estimate of about 10000 players, taht's only 40000 players who will manage to get in, and the rest will face QUEUE TIMES FROM HELL.
This whole thing has to be handled by waves, they'll invite 100k people, then another 100k, then another 100k, and so on. (100k is an example number, I don't really know how many invites per wave are sent). As the beta progresses, they'll open up new realms, and allow more people to log at once, but this takes time. Heck, by the end of the cata beta there were at least 2 dozen realms up.
The problem is that:
A: most people don't have patience. The moment they get a delay they trow tantrums like spoiled dotards. Ohh diablo 3 got delayed? ANNUAL PASS WAS A SCAM, THEY JUST WANNA MILK MY MONEY! Ohh I wont get into the beta on the first wave? BLIZZARD SAID IMMIDIET ACCESS THE MOMENT BETA WAS UP (Notice that their actual wording was GUARANTEED, access to the beta when it was up, not that it would be THE MOMENT it was up)
B: most people love to make everything a pissing contest. "Ohhh look at me, I killed ragnaros 4 months before you did, therefore, my achievement is worth more than yours" "Ohh LOok at me, I got in on the first beta, that means I'm a VIP and you're just a plebe who got in due to pity. BOW TO ME PLEBE!"
Its sad to see what gamers are becoming =/
You know, this makes me happy because i'm going to be invited no meter what, but i was late to get the annual pass and i started playing wow on 2008, also, i'm glad they are going to add more servers. Its true, blizzard said that if you signed to the Annual Pass you will be invited to the beta "GUARANTEED".
And yeah, lot of people gets mad about that they never got invited to the beta on the first wave, that was just for family, fansites and some players, there is going to be more waves out. The first wave was small so i guess they will invite more players on the second than the first one.
I feel bad for anyone that quotes this =(

Poe's law? The eyes look kind of like the eyes from Cats the opera.
Also, does anyone know why bouche rouge is such an icon in Paris?
Good job doing research MyTie, lol. Maybe you could strike up a convo about copper deposits or something just to bore them equally...
