Somebody had to restart this thread. I hope it's okay if I do it.
You aren't mad at me, are you?
>>47 I've already decided that if I ever went deaf or my willy got cut off, I'd probably just kill myself.
>>49 What are your thoughts on this song? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySPv9X-_QyI
>>52 My flatmate leaving my telly and PS3 on standby, dumb bitches, the police, a couple of posters here, uncultured meatheads, the word "bro", katy perry, animal abusers, people who try to act all mature and look down their collective nose at me when I'm having some fun.
>>54 Analog clocks or digital clocks?
>>65
That's a tough one. I like quite mundane ones:

And recently:

One of those, I suppose.

What's it like in the universe where people can't post in the right threads?

I made a few embarrassingly bad flash games when I was a preteen. More recently, in college I made a little cube dodging game in java for Graphics class. I only spent a couple days on it so there's not much to it.
Check it out:

What's your high score in my game?
>>84
I vaguely recall that when the button first came out, it was a response to terrible anti-mitten propaganda on IRC. The emergency was that mittens may disappear from DQN forever, so I did my part, releasing the emergency mittens daily to help Fight the Power!
>>86
Do you remember that anti-mittens IRC conversation? I can't seem to find it after a couple minutes of googling.
>>95 hmm maybe dshos5_4.mid? there are so many to choose from, I don't really play the "favorite" game.
>>94 there is no best, but SGM, Crisis GM, and GeneralUser GS are pretty good I'd say, if you just want the whole range of instruments. these days, soundfonts are passé when you can use individual VSTs for each instrument and they will sound better and use less CPU.
>>97 do you like free beer?
>>101
Hugó, a víziló. Clearly the hallucinogens must have been flowing freely during its storyboarding process.

Mother of god. Rhythmic wailing everywhere.
>>105
What is your opinion on communism?
>>106 I don't know about which religion, but I've always like the idea in Andy Weir's "The Egg". How odd that I was just thinking about this earlier today. Well, maybe not because I think about it a lot. http://www.galactanet.com/oneoff/theegg_mod.html
>>108 How big's your USB pen drive?
>>111 I don't care much for what's in the pop charts, but thanks to the Internet there is a space for all sorts of interesting things that I couldn't have ever heard maybe 15 years ago. I love everything from country to noise, hip hop to britpop, j-pop to prog rock, and most things inbetween. I don't waste time on things I don't like, so I'm overall pretty happy.
>>113 When was the last time you paid for music?
>>113
The Keiko Matsui discography. She is a breathtaking pianist who combines hauntingly beautiful melodies with the far-off sounds of an African coastline in perpetual sunset. If you enjoy Hiromi Uehara, you'll love the slower, less jazzy atmospheres Keiko creates with the mysterious wanderings of her rhythmic fingers.
>>115
Who is your favorite pianist?
I must confess I don't know that many pianists despite being one myself. I do enjoy Vladimir Horowitz very much though, especially his recordings of Scriabin.
What instrument(s) do you play?
>>115 Guitar, bass, drums, mandolin, bouzouki, tin whistles, melodica, stylophone, keyboards, harmonica, chanter, accordion, melodeon, bodhran, ukulele, jew's harp, recorder, and i've got a bunch of percussive stuff like tambourines and maracas and stuff, and i'm getting into circuit bending as well. I feel like I'm missing something(s)
>>117 How big is your music folder?
Derp. Let's try that again. Also, >>117, that's a huge music folder? Really? I have three music folders on as many hard drives (though due to messy backup policies there is some significant file duplication and overlap I have not yet bothered to fix), and just one of them is seven times as big as that.
>>120
What politician do you most agree with, assuming they believe what they preach?
>>121
For some time I completely lost interest; the vanilla game just felt too aimless and easy, and multiplayer is buggy and it's hard to find good servers. But then I found Vech's super hostile maps and the like, and now minecraft is fun again. I must confess I enjoy watching Zisteau's Let's Plays of these even more than playing myself, just because he has the time and patience to really conquer the map and build amazing structures, and he edits his videos pretty well to keep it interesting.
>>123
What's your opinion of Let's Plays?
>>123
No, sorry. But at the same time I don't look to "regular forums" for that very reason. I am always using anonymous textboard channels and anonymous imageboard channels for this very reason.
>>125
Try out the decentralised, censorship resistant, Bittorrent client called "Tribbler" and tell me what you think!

I don't think you can really draw a line between "acceptable" and "unacceptable" just like that. With law, you have things like diminished responsibility or self defence - it isn't excusing the crime, it's just showing that it wasn't cold blooded murder.
Question evasion aside, I think just the obvious stuff; if everyone's obviously going to be a lot better off with someone dead, then I suppose it's "acceptable" to kill them/for them to commit suicide.
>>125
That isn't a question.
>>127
How many chemical elements can you name off the top of your head?
>>126
There's antimony, arsenic, aluminum, selenium
And hydrogen and oxygen and nitrogen and rhenium
And nickel, neodymium, neptunium, germanium
And iron, americium, ruthenium, uranium
Europium, zirconium, lutetium, vanadium
And lanthanum and osmium and astatine and radium
And gold and protactinium and indium and gallium
And iodine and thorium and thulium and thallium...
etc. I have the song memorized, so however many elements were known to songwriters in the 1950s.
>>128
What is your favorite parody song?
>>127
Right now, it's "Weird Al" Yankovic's Stop Forwarding That Crap To Me. The style of the song (overly dramatic slow ballad with a background choir) beautifully clashes with the banality of its subject matter, and once the novelty of the lyrics has worn off it is still pleasant to listen to as music in its own right. It then proceeds to get extra brownie points for mentioning both BCC and Snopes.com, and the clever use of kinetic typography that makes up its music video. While I personally am grateful to not know anyone who engages in endless forwarding of the sort of crap mentioned in the song, I have plenty of long-suffering friends who do.
>>129
What comedy musicians do you know that produce quality songs with Weird Al's level of consistency?
>>127
Do remixes count? If so, it's ttp://youtu.be/TkDrmBkVqAU I find this absolutely stunning.
Otherwise, it's Weird Al's White & Nerdy. Recently my boss decided to play music on his laptop to keep everyone up, but soon his playlist degraded into pop and rap. So, while he was away I planted this song in his Eminem playlist which soon entertained everybody.
>>129
What is your audio system?
>>128
Oh my, it's like we share a special bond!
I don't even know whom to name! Tenacious D are inactive, right? Avenue Q is a musical... There was a presumably German band a few years ago, but they would be far behind THE Al.
Anyway, >>131, what is your audio system? What comedy musicians do you know?
>>130
I use a pair of Rokit KRK 5s. I liked a bunch of comedy musicians when I was younger but now all I can remember are Monty Python, Rappy McRapperson and Patrick Shaughnessy - Funeral Songs of Happy Cloudland. The last two are so horribly bad they're funny.
>>132
What do you think about the title song "Cloudland" from that last album?
>>137
I think every moment is life-changing to some degree. It's impossible to say what moment has had the greatest net effect on my life's path, so I'll just pick the first one that comes to mind.
My life changed when I introduced to my first computer at the age of 4. It was love at first sight. I continued to be fascinated by those glowing screens throughout my childhood and adolescence. Computers no longer inspire such a sense of wonder and mystery, but now I'm addicted for life. Even without internet access, I can easily spend hours (unproductively) on the machine, neglecting food, sleep and human companionship.
>>139
Do you think robots can ever be a substitute for real human empathy?
