A movie I saw (which degraded into Star Trek talk...)

Rule 3 - Never have sex with the regular cast. Never, EVER have sex with a captain.

Rule 4 - If breaking up into search parties, stay with the Away Team Leader. If you can't stay with the Leader, take a 'Red Shirt' with you and let him/her lead. (You get extra lines this way too. "He was there, and then suddenly he was gone, Captain.")

Oh, come on. We stayed on topic for 5 posts!

It fact, it wasn't until the post by someone named . . . Zavion, that we veered off course.

I'm more used to quicker means of comunication, and don't like to post 'random thoughts' without at least something relevent on some other forumite's post, but my standards for my own posts are lower (because, then I'm just spamming myself). I didn't expect such a large disapproval of the movie, and, I was (and, well am) kinda depressed, and clinically bi-polar, so sometimes I just get worse than others. I'll try to be a little more upbeat.

HUGS = Huge, Unrestrained, Genial Squeezings.

I'm remember reading back to someone getting 'genial' mentally confused with 'genital', and I winced inwardly cause, while genital squeezings might be nice, Huge, Unrestrained squeezings to such an area would be very painful (Well, to me at least)
(And, on another kinda twisted note, if you changed the emphasis to genitials, you get 'Huge, unrestrained genital' squeezings which I thought was pretty funny) Well, there's my peverted thought for the day ^_~, thank you for listening to that. I'm sorry if I squicked anyone. (Well, ok, I'm a liar, I'm not sorry, Wha ha ha, although I doubt any of you are easily squickable on such a subject). Someone correct me in PM if I got the wrong verb, and I'll fix's it.

I love genial squeezings, but genital squeezings have to be restrained for my safety *eep* ^_^.

Oh, Hat-Kun, thank you for the toffee ^_^. I have to set up some sort of shelf myself soon if people keep giving me virtual items.

Actually if you can bag the Captain, make sure it's a long lasting relationship that the fans really like, cause, if it's not you're going to be the dying boyfriend/girlfriend that makes the Captain Angry enough to use the Yamato Gun, and I think I've gone into Anime now, so I'll stop before I lose myself (And if I do, can somoene please return him to me?)

Actually, you've gone into StarCraft, which means:

7: If you MUST be a space marine, make sure you're the one making all the witty quips. Piping up with "We can always hole up in these bunkers if things get to dicey" every now and then will go a surprisingly long way towards making sure you're around to say "Heh heh, I love the smell of toasted Zerglings in the morning!"

Star Craft's Battle Cruisers make fun of an anime, which was also made fun of a lot in Excel Saga, The Bismark (I think the ship is called) who's main weapon, the Yamato Cannon is the solve for a lot of big battles, but is only usable when it's plot convenient. I never watched it really, and Excel Saga went into Gundam and it about the same time, and I never watched Gundam either so I could be getting things mixed up. Anyways, the Battlecruiser in SC also makes fun of Jean Luc Picard too when you select it. There are a lot of in jokes (the unique Firebat is named after the guy in that distopian book about the 'Fireman' who's job was to burn books, ect. I can't remember the temperature, because 9/11 burned the real number out of my brain).In real life, Yamato is/was a very influencial ruling tribe and is sometimes used to mean Japan itself.

I got promoted again! Thank you imaginary General Man of random promotions! You arbitrary ranking system will serve you well!

If I had to be a star craft unit I'd want to be a Dark Templar cause those guys are bad ass. If I had to be teran I'd want to be a Ghost. Cause if I was playing I kick out two of the marines and put two ghosts in every bunker, so my saying "I should get in this bunker" won't help if 'God' orders me to walk into some Lurkers so he can build more Ghosts.. Heh. Those guys are morons. "Oh, 'God' told me telepathically it's time to march to my death, cool."

Poochu! *smash* "OW! YOU MAKEA ME BLEED!"

It's a commander in a cozy, posh ship, who's in no trouble at all. AKA you. Except in SC they don't emphasize the point, although it makes sense. In WarCraft, however, it just doesn't make sense at all. They need like lag time between orders depending on how far away from the "base" you are for the runners to give the orders in order for it to be realistic. And the ones where you "are" a hero makes no sense at all.

Actually, my favorite game in which you sat in a "command room" and ordered others was Outpost, the original one, because it was realistic. You gave orders, and then let it go for a while, until the next update came in, and you gave more orders. In the span of 10 turns, it could go from perfect to the place falling into ruin.

But anyways, command room physics is pretty much how all strategy games work now a days.. I'm looking forward to one in which you actually play as a commander and your prime duty is to manage runners and resources, and letting your fighters fight for you. It'd be a truly unique gaming experience, but I'm afraid the lack of action would make it not sell..

Maximuscoolman · Post by **Maximuscoolman** » Mon Oct 18, 2004 9:22 am

Well Warcraft is a game set in a fantsy world, it's not supposed to be realistic, and the way you move your units around is even made fun of in many of the easter eggs when you keep clicking on units, like how the peons tell you to stop touching them, and the Dreadlord has a mobile phone.

Zavion · Post by **Zavion** » Mon Oct 18, 2004 2:00 pm

For Randy's sanity:

Yamato is/was a tribe that had strong influence in Japan's early history. Yamato can be used sometimes to mean Japan itself, so I've come to be told.

Space Battleship Yamato is an Anime series where a battleship named the Yamato defends earth against evil invading aliens, and is/was a relitiveatly popular show. In the show the Yamato has a large cannon that, when plot conveninent, is powered up and can take out entire enemy fleets.

The game Starcraft, is a Blizzard game about space warfare, and takes a
lot of names and inside jokes from other games/ movies/ anime/ history/ mythology, and the things it borrows from also have other meanings before that too. So things in it, like the Yamato Cannon for example, aren't original to it. (For example the Unique Firebat unit is named after the guy in the book Fahrenheit 451, which is a book about a guy named Guy Montag who is a 'Fireman' and his job is to burn books, 451 being the temperature which paper burns).

Excel Saga makes fun of Battleship Yamato and the original Gundam series in the same episode. It's one of their best episodes aside from the next to last and last episodes (the real last ones, not the fake OVA last episode which was created in itself to be a giant joke and slaughters what little plot the series had). Actually Excel Saga makes fun of hundreds of crap, too much even to be noticed by English speakers, and you should watch it with the Menchi pop ups enabled, at least once. In the series there is a species of creatures called the Poochu which have devised the nefarious plot to take over the universe with their ultra cuteness and futon beaters and giant robots, and usually all they can say is "Poochu!" and smile and look cute (they look like Kero from Card Captor Sekura, but I never watched that either) but when struck their noses bleed purple blood and their faces turn grossly exaggerated American and they shout in a harsh deep male voice something cheesy that is to make fun of old Fist of the North Star shows with a very odd accent, such as "OW YOU MAKEA ME BLEED!")

I also commented on the 'invisable commander' that is behind the fourth wall in RTS games, whom I refer to lovingly and jokingly as 'God'. Because no actual orders are ever handed out in any RTS game except maybe Outpose and Command and Conquer, and in many games such as Warcraft or Age of Empires the only logical explaination to explain the Player is that a supernatural telepathic being is sitting around telling them what to do, and that like sheepish morons they do it even if it means certain death, and even if that death is premeditated and evil (Like me sending marines to lurkers to die because I can't sell them and I want more of another unit), which is amplifed in worseness when a bad player is at the seat, such as myself (Yes make a damn Castle right there, all 10 of you, the castle will get built before he can kill you all, hope fully. He can't kill all 10 of you that fast.. one of you has a good chance to live long enough to finsih.. maybe. And if not I'll replace you.)

Also, my rank went up to Lt. Junior Grade, which I thought was funny that I got arbitrarily promoted for doing nothing. Whomever the General or Adimiral of this army is, he's a nutcase. I'm sure his system of 'randomly promoting people' will work out, heh.

Also, had I the choice, when I feel and hit my head, I would have liked to turn grotesc for a second and say a Poochu quote.

I hope this clears up my post from before and gives Randy back his dignity which I shamelessly stole away in my previous rant.

What's the fun of playing God if you can't make your minions do stupid stuff to amuse you?

Anyway:

Rule 8: Beware the newly encountered aliens - They're not friendly. If they are, they going to try and kill you anyway because of some misunderstanding.

1. Amazingly, most people read "genital" before "genial". It's a matter of repetition, I think. When was the last time you saw the word "genial" outside of my signature.

2. While many on this forum are squickable, you have not even begun to approach the squick limit.

3. There is no 3.

4. Actual huge, mostly-unrestrained, genial squeezings are available to almost everyone. Unrestrained ones are rarer, since I'm a rather strong hugger, and I don't want to injure anyone. Genital squeezings are not automatic and would have to be discussed.

HUGS.

Actually, Huge, unrestrained genital squeezings have been mentioned before, with similar results.
