Somebody had to restart this thread. I hope it's okay if I do it.
You aren't mad at me, are you?

Strike Fighters: Project 1, a 1950s-early 1960s era jet aircraft combat flight sim. I'd also like to see the game get some of the same advances in avionics that existed at the time, like air-to-ground radar modes for dive bombing and radar lead computing G-compensating optical gunsights for gun combat. The game was released in 2002 in a horrible buggy incomplete not-even-beta state. Eventually patches were produced to render it playable, it still requires the player, for example, to dive-bomb World War II style squinting at what amounts to a grease-pencil mark on the cockpit windscreen, and the gunsights aren't much better--the US had G-compensating optical gunsights in service in 1943, and radar lead computing variants were tested in Korea a few years after that.
Yes, I know, a version 2 of the game was released in 2008. But it still isn't, in my opinion, what it could have been.

Should I eat the leftover chicken or the leftover stirfy for lunch?

Ratchet and Clank 2. I'm going for 100%, I reckon I'm at around 90. Not looking forward to farming bolts to get the last couple of weapons or trying to guess where the remaining platinum bolts are, though.

My legs constantly feel like they need exercise, but I walk to and from university every day (30 minutes each way). I'm reasonably tall (probably too tall for my chair for my legs to bend properly) and I like coffee and sugar. Any tips?

Shin Guard. It's a game I made up a few minutes ago. My friend poured some Gatorade from a mostly empty bottle that was on te ground next to where we were sitting in my TI-84's cover, so I said "Wanna play shin guard?" I told him it was a game where I put the case over his shin and hit it until he feels pain and that there's no way to win, only get a high score. He said no so I kept insisting until he gave in. I first kept hitting it with my hand until it stated to hurt so I said "okay level two" then proceeded to hit it with tr calculator itself. I gave up and told him he won, contradicting myself. I checked and the case still had some Gatorade on it so I said that the other shin still needs to go. I did it until it was completely dry then I congratulated him. It wasn't really a game but a way to get the sticky Gatorade off my calculator cover.
>>854
Would you play Shin Guard?
>>864 Only 15 times a week and you're worried?? I was going to reply thinking maybe a 100 times a week. To grow a beard I think you just have to wait and see what happens; you may hear people say shave often and it grows back in thicker and quicker but I think this is a myth, it looks darker and seems to grow quicker for some other illusionary reason
>>866 If I'm so brilliant why won't anyone employ me?

I guess my favourite OP is FLCL, because technically it's just a title displayed for a couple of seconds. And it's 4:3. It's that hardcore!
But openings of the original Hokuto no Ken, Renkin San-kyuu Magical Pokaan, Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt and Soul Eater are also worth mentioning.
Trava: Fist Planet has my favourite ending.
>>870
Have you watched REDLINE?
>>869
January.
>>870
Yes, I liked how it didn't try to get too serious or complex with the backstory, staying focused on the unashamedly over-the-top action, much like Dead Leaves.
>>872
If you could choose a super power, what would you choose? Let's say ridiculous god powers like omnipotence or omniscience are off limits.
Those rainbow white chocolate brownies that get posted daily on /ck/.
Or anything from cooking with dog

Have you ever felt nostalgia for something you were never part of
>>883
Quite a few times actually. It's mostly about the 70s. I particularly like space exploration, LISP, integrated circuits and music of that age. Maybe something else that I can't remember right off the bat ― besides Vietnam War which is interesting but it isn't something that causes nostalgia.
>>885
What is your hobby? Would you recommend it to anybody else?
>>884
One of my main hobbies is gardening. I'd recommend it to anyone; it's very satisfying, even if it amounts to nothing more than keeping a few potted plants on your windowsill. It doesn't take too much effort unless you're trying to grow something especially fancy.
>>886
Would you eat cooked human flesh, given the chance?
>>886
It might be stress or avitaminosis! Try doing something that you enjoy. Make sure that you sleep for at least 6 hours every night, and that your diet contains both meat and fresh vegetables. Try taking a multivitamin supplement.
And never eat human flesh because you might get a prion disease.
>>888
What would you do if your sleeping schedule suddenly drifted across the globe and then just stopped there with an almost inverted sleep-wake pattern?
>>887 Whenever that happens I stay up for a night and a day and go to sleep at a normal time. Usually this would happen after a night of taking stimulating substances with friends, but sometimes if I get stuck in a cycle of looking at things on the Internet. To pass the time I do creative things, I take it as an opportunity to work on something that takes a bit more preparation than scribbling in a sketchbook, such as getting paints and canvas out or making big stencils or something, or masturbating
>>889 Have you ever created a video? Not just like filming you playing a game or doing something but took time to make something?
>>890
No, I think that simply is stupid as it makes it less secure and restricts the freedoms of the taxpayers, which includes law breakers.
>>892
Do you think that passing a bill after it has already been struck down by referendum but making it referendum proof by attaching it to a spending bill and allowing the governor to dissolve any elected body in the entire state is Stalinistic?
Living in the mitten sucks.
>>897
I'm really getting bored of it. Originally it served as auxiliary to narrative and puzzle and fit well into a lot of adventure stories, but it's been taking more and more of a central role in games lately and the quality of gamer's been decreasing so the other elements are being relegated to the status of cutscene with occasional hand holding.

What is your opinion of people's opinions of video games?

Can't it be both?

Aside from the two side zippers it's pretty modest
Whoops, I forgot that STP is only used for gases. I suppose any standardised conditions would suffice. Anyway, the question still stands, >>910.

We do blame Mexicans for taking the jobs, but not so much for crime; we have blacks for that.

Why is it still snowing right now if a so-called "global warming" is a problem?
>>933
No, that wouldn't be very ladylike!
I'm going to answer >>931 as well, because I think it's a good question.
First of all, global warming is probably a misleading term. Although average global temperatures are increasing, the effects of the gulf stream slowing down or sea level rise or things like that can have the opposite effect locally. Hence why people often call it "climate change" rather than "global warming".
One of the important things to realise is that the climate is a chaotic system. Chaotic systems require two things:
Changes in the climate definitely involve feedback; the weather on one day will affect the weather on the next day, and so on. Climate is also non-linear, as clouds, storms and rainfall all generally either form abundantly or not at all. That is to say, a small change will not necessarily have a small effect. Once you pass a certain threshold in terms of temperature or humidity, a given type of cloud will be able to form, and will probably form in large numbers.
The scary thing about chaotic systems is that they can be incredibly sensitive to change. Consider this diagram:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Chaos_Sensitive_Dependence.svg
Both the black and white balls follow the exact same rules, yet a tiny change in initial position leads to a huge change later on. This has a number of applications to climate change:
Expanding on that last point, I've frankly never understood climate change sceptics, or what have you. Whilst the data is, naturally, highly variable, the underlying principles of, for instance, atmospheric carbon dioxide affecting heat absorption, are incredibly transparent.
What this all really means though, >>931, is that the climate's pretty well fucked.
>>935
What book, if any, are you reading at present?
>>936
I like to prop my head up pretty high when I sleep, so I like a large and firm cushion for a head pillow. For my back though, I prefer bright and fluffy like a sun-speckled lagoon of childhood dreams in which I can dive and lose myself in the sunny shadows shining through the cracks.

If you had to fight to the death and you could only choose one vegetable as a weapon, what would you choose? You aren't allowed to prepare the vegetable beforehand using other tools either.
