My quirky idea. Basically, share a completely random piece of information which could benefit everyone! It's almost like a game... but might
actually benefit somebody in some way. I'll start:
1. If your internet is running slow with game servers or web pages, when entering Internet Options, aswell is clearing all temporary internet
files and that, go to the "Advanced" tab and click "Restore Advanced Settings". Malicious spyware etc can use settings to hog your internet
usage for its own personal benefit. Restoring these settings can make your internet miraculously run at the speed it ran at when you
got it all those years ago!
2. Bananas are supposed to contain some form of anti-depressant. If you're feeling blue or grieving a loss, eat bananas. Exercise is good, too.
3. About 95% of men lie about their penis size. When your friends ask a girl "was it big?", it's because they're insecure about their size! You're
not inferior and all your mates don't have 10-inchers! Sad, pathetic, lying bastards.
3 COMPLETELY random pieces of info which might benefit somebody in here. :D

When counting by nines, a quick and easy method is to use your fingers. Go down the fingers, and stop at the number of nines you wish to add, bend that finger down. All the fingers to the left of the finger you put down represent the first digit, and all the fingers on the right side represent the second digit.
Try it with 9x5! Count the fingers on your left hand, when you reach your fifth finger (pinky), bend it down... There's four fingers up on the left, and five on the right. 45!

Your first post should never be a request, other wise members will think you're just here for resources.
When making a new character, always make up a back story.
Do I do it right?

To cancel out a sneeze, try stopping up your nasal passage or blowing sharply out of your nose. You can also hold your nose and attempt to exhale from your nose. This may not always work, but it helps.

If you're into a fad, it's not necesary to let everyone know by posting about in every topic. Do what I do blend it into you represainitive and only post RP like post in the Test and Welcome when someone new is posting or in a RP board like the "Charas Pub" of "Charas Grand Adventure Game".

I wholeheartedly support this thread.
While the muscles that are used to close a crocodiles jaws are supremely powerful, the muscles used to open the mouth are so weak that slipping a large rubber band around a croc's mouth will actually render it useless.

Online shopping saves you effing loads! A guy said a terabyte hard-drive would be £140 excluding VAT! Outrageous!
I looked on eBay, you can get them new for around £75-80!

If you use steroids and then stop using 'em, you will prolly die, because when you were using them, they gave you loads of testosterone, so your body stopped to produce his own, but when you stop using them, your body wont produce it as well as it used to before you started taking steroids, and since you aint taking them anymore, you will run out of testosterone and die. :D
I'm pretty sure you wouldn't die :s
Women don't produce testosterone or if they do, very small amounts!
-
Shutup, I saw it on TV. :P
There was a doctor explaining why you would die but I dont remember exactly why.
My bad! He's probably slightly smarter than me :p
-
advice 1.
Don't trust Brazilian doctors.
advice 2.
When playing Heroes of might and magic V, many stacks of the same creature can be more effective than 1 huge stack.
-
advice. Don't trust Brazilian TV that translates something some american said into something stupid.

Advice: Nothing on TV is false. Everything is true. Believe it!

The stupidest thing to do in a crowd is to yell "a herd elephants are coming run for your life!" Unless the crowd you're standing happens to be in Afica.

Your brain is seperated in two different sections, The left and the right. But when moving your left hand your hand, or anything on the left side, is controlled by the right side of the brain. and vice versa

In Grand Theft Auto IV, go to an internet café and type www.whattheydonotwantyoutoknow.com into the URL bar. This takes you to a website with maps showing the locations of all the hidden packages and stunt jumps in the game, as well as notable weapon spawns.
EDIT: Also, clicking on the address in the above text takes you to the GTAIV website. Dohoho.

All women produce testosterone, ya goof.
-
That is true ( i am a guy for those of you who have not seen my pictures) it is in small amounts, it helps with growing hair and such, just like how men produce a small amount of estrogen. Each one has a specific set of things it does, thats why it is needed in both men and women, just different amounts
-
True I have very fem facial features (I get mistaken for a girl alot) and growing more than a little facial hair is nearly a impossible for me so I produce testerone just not nearly as much like my Brother and Dad.
Though i've always been a fem boy in terms of looks.
Women do produce teserone just but they produce more estrogen.
-
Every seems to be consistent on using a incorrect term.
Thats also very untrue and stereotypical.
-
This is the internet, it's not meant to be taken seriously.
Lighten up, emo.
-
Lighten up?
Do you actually think I took offense to that?
-
Hard to tell on the internet
-
I didn't.
I get called a fag nearly 96% of my life nothing really affects me I have a very passive personality I don't really take offense or get mad if someone tries to insult me or does anyhting like it.
He was just joking.

3. About 95% of men lie about their penis size. When your friends ask a girl "was it big?", it's because they're insecure about their size! You're
not inferior and all your mates don't have 10-inchers! Sad, pathetic, lying bastards.
Men's obsession with penis size has always confused me. They seem to be convinced that a 10-incher is somehow more pleasurable for a woman...fact is, 10 inches is probably going to be pretty painful. You probably shouldn't worry unless you're something unmanageable like three inches (Yes, it's possible, and the condition is fittingly called micropenis). According to most surveys of women, girth is more important than length.
-
Men's length I think comes more into bragging rights and ego building "in the locker room".
It may be more of a concern with straight men though.
I've been with two boys and niether of them really cared about thier size when they weren't all that big.
I have been with a girl though who liked at least 12.
So who knows really.
-
When all else fails, you call in a visit from the shocker.
-
Haha, shocker always works.
Two in the pink one in the Stank...
Or the other way if you wanna go big
-
Well, I just learned something new, and now I can't un-learn it.
-
Time for your practical investigation

Haha, yeah stays there for some time, been awhile since someone actually brought it up for me.
Even worse when you picture a 90 pound male using the shocker on a 450 lb female....ahh gross images

Mumble...why do I hang around guys so much, mumble....

Oh, so we're finally talking about the shocker? Well then!

And in an attempt to be taken even less seriously:
All women produce testosterone, ya goof.
Testosterone is named after the testosticles.
Do you have something you want to tell us?
-
Well, they were mercifully done talking about the shocker, before you came along.

Want me to devour his non-existence? Then he'll have to exist. Which is the biggest insult to him.

when selling street vaule quantities of cocaine, one can expect in the average market that a half gram, lets call it a unit, will actually consist of 0.3 to 0.4 grams of actual cocaine, as opposed to 0.5 like you would expect.
Common dilutants can be purchased over the counter at drug stores.
Talcum powder of any sort is not reccomended in the dilution of cocaine, as the damages inccured by the users sinuses usually outweighs the value of the product.
Ephedrine is a narcotic that can be bought in many places that has properties similar to a stimulant. However ephedrine, being a dhiarretic is oven mistaken for "baby laxiatives", another commonly used dilutant for cocaine.
Many dealers will cut it with a combination of any of the above dilutants and "speed" or "crystal meth" A very minute amount of this exceptionally cheap street drug will often enhance the high the user experiences. Some users with a more refined pallette may taste the speed cut into the cocaine, dispite other stron flavouredg dilutants like ephedrine.
By using one part speed to four parts ephedrine, to create something we will refer to as BUFF
0.35 grams/or one UNIT of cocaine per every 0.15 grams of BUFF will optimize your profit to cost ratio, without rendering a product labeled as "cheap crank"
i am resourcefull.

And the IQ rating of this thread plummeted further. Amazing!
No small feat, I assure you! :D
-
your lack of faith in the true capitalist spirit makes me sad.
You gotta think about this.
If youre buying an ounce of it for 1500 bones
and your local market charges the average of 35-50 dollars per "unit"
youre easily doubling your profit. One day youll thank me
-
One day I'll be a flying pig named Arnold.
Also, everyone knows capitalism has no spirit. It sold it already. Silly. :P

It took me up to this moment to figure out what Darkfox's icon was.

A female version of my mascot Dafauks which is a corruption of "Darkfox" and a play on "Wha da fauk?".
So yeah, it would be a fox.

but.....foxes are red

Except when they're gray.
Or white.
Or brown.

Most people teach dogs boring tricks. Did you know that a rally easy trick for a dog to learn is "twist". Say "twist" and
get a treat and whirl it round the dog so it's forced to spin on the spot. Reinforce this and in a couple of weeks you can shout
"twist" and your dog will spin for you :D
First trick my dog learned, even before he learned "sit"!

There are 1891 rooms (map squares) in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. You have to have been to all of them to achieve 200.6%. For the last .1% to count, you have to defeat Shaft, enter the final battle with Dracula, then use a Library Card to return to the normal castle. You'll then have to walk back to the boss room, defeat Shaft again, and then defeat Dracula.

To easily defeat Dracula, equip Alucard's Shield and the Shield Rod, then press the buttons for both arms at the same time. Hold the button for the shield, and simply touch Dracula for a few seconds. This also works on anything that menaces you to the point of frustration.

This is true. You can also just fly up to the top of the screen in bat form, preferably with the bat familiar, while he's doing his claw attacks, and you can fireball him to buggery without being hit.
When playing as Richter, keep the Holy Water as your secondary weapon. The Hydro Storm item crash kills any boss in the game, excluding Galamoth who is optional, in a single crash.

True, but I had deleted the game a while back to make room on my hard drive.
I really should invest in a larger one, since mine keeps filling up too fast. Half of the XBLA games I own aren't even on my HDD at this time due to space issues.

Believe it or not, but the top part of a CD is more important than the bottom part. Scratches on the top will make a CD more likely to be unreadable than scratches on the bottom.

You have no idea how often I think that.

Haha, true. When I got here I was 12. Think about how traumatized I was.
We have therapists for that..... on vacation.
Most computers rendered 'useless' by a virus could be saved by searching the web for a list of common files for the virus and deleting them using some DOS prompt.
-
Haha, true. When I got here I was 12. Think about how traumatized I was.
So THAT explains you. Now it all makes sense! XD
-
really there is no reason for a 12 year old to have unmonitored internet access.
I also have some issues with minors being able to post videos of themselves online. Or pictures for that matter.
Case in point...
"Stop calling me a homo"
and every under-16 who ever posts any kind of monologue online.
Seriously, what kind of parent liets their kid do that?!? there needs to be laws.
Kids are stupid and need to be sheltered until they are old enough to know
"U ARE A FGT AND SHOULD KILL YOURSELF BECAUSE YOU ARE A FAT PIECE OF NIGGR SH!T"
Is not to be taken seriously.
I could rant forever about that.

I don't know much about real life, so forgive this list of gaming-related objects I'm about to post:
- Lavos' actual core in the final fight is actually on the right, not in the center. Defeating it will kill all three of them instantly.
- If you do not fire immediately when fighting Crash Man (MM2) or Skull Man (MM4), they will do nothing to attack you; Crash man will endlessly pace while Skull Man will stare you down, especially if you stay still as well.
Good robot masters to start on in the games:
MM1 - Bomb man or Cut man
MM2 - Metal man or Flash man
MM3 - Top man or Snake man (Note that the weaknesses in this game are actually two separate circuits)
MM4 - Bright man
MM5 - Gravity man
MM6 - Flame man
MM7 - Not Junk man
MM8 - Tengu man
MM9 - Galaxy man or Concrete man
- In older games, Sonic moves faster when spinning and with a running start. However, especially apparent in Sonic Advance 2, Sonic will be able to move faster if he is on foot. In theory, it does make it a bit more balanced, since he's vulnerable when running instead of rolling.
- In Toribash, it is sometimes advisable to become flacid when taking hits, so as to reduce the number of points the opponent gains when hitting you. Rigid joints are more likely to break, anyway.
- In Trackmania, map a second button to the brake other than the down arrow. This way, you can press both the gas and the brake with two keys (far enough from one another, so it's not awkward) in order to drift around tight corners. In addition, some tracks in TM are designed to be taken at full speed throughout, so if there's some doubt as to if you can make a turn, just try it out. Not hesitating can cut off a lot of time from your run.
- In Fraxy, you can rapidly tap the right mouse button to move very quickly in bursts.
You can also stack up several weapons into your different slots. This trait is most useful with the shield and scatter-shot items; several shields can virtually keep you constantly protected, while the scatter-shot can all be shot successively in order to make a deadly wall of bullets.
Sitting your ship in the glowing core of a powerup your enemy leaves for long enough will charge your ship with OVER-SOLL power, letting you fire faster and without energy loss. You're not invincible, however, so shields are quite advisable.
- Keep a piece of paper around when playing adventure games. Especially if it's Myst.
- In God of War (at least the 1st one... I think), you can use a launcher attack on an enemy (hold triangle, but not long enough so you don't jump), then begin tapping circle to repeatedly smash the enemy against the ground until they're dead.
- Apparently, the item you get if you lose to Setzer in KH2 is much better than the default prize...
- In Morrowind and Oblivion, the Atronach is decisively the best birthsign. For any class, since there is a very high probability you won't take damage from magic.
- Crash Bandicoot moves ever so slightly faster when hopping. This is most apparent in chasing sequences.
- Koopa Mario in SMB3 does not take damage from fireballs.
- DO NOT leap up to grab different masks in Kid Chameleon if you are Micromax (The Fly dude); there is a possibility you will phase through the block you got the mask from and die instantly if you are too high.
- The biggest roadblock to playing DDR properly is learning that you do not need to return your feet to the center of the pad after every arrow. By just leaving your feet on their previous locations will save you movement of a foot to its next spot on the pad.
- With proper timing, once can jump upon havok-enabled objects by standing on them, jumping, then grabbing onto the item, letting go at the right time, then jumping on the object again and repeating the process. I've seen it done in Half Life 2 and Oblivion, but other games that use havok and give you the ability to interact with objects might be able to let you do this as well.
- In Chrono Cross, attacks of a certain innate will be more powerful if the field is all one color.
- The jump ability in Spore can enable you to dodge incoming melee attacks from other creatures.

Thanks Bluhman, I play Trackmania a lot :D
Could never get into Toribash, though...
-
Haha, true. When I got here I was 12. Think about how traumatized I was.
I think things got progressively worse around the time that us '05ers showed up. We made a lasting mark.

Not exactly true.
It is because, in england, a single £ used to represent 1lb of pure silver.

To multiply by nines, do this neat trick
Subtract one from your number, that's the 10 numeral
Subtract the number from 10, that's the 1 numeral
Examples:
9*6=54
6-1=5
10-6=4
9*9=81
9-1=8
10-9=1
Voila
Also, I don't know if this works for over 10...not sure
But the pattern has always helped me...so yeah

I split the Apex/Archem crap into a separate thread and put it in the junk bin. There will be no more flaming/bickering here.

Awesome. It's a little bit of a shame that we couldn't just come to a reasonable understanding, though.
By the way, that's a helpful tip for the thread: Don't cause trouble over something unimportant. It's a waste of time, and everybody hates it.
