Sporcle

www.sporcle.com

It's a site that has games that test your ability to recall things.

I can by now name 93 elements in the periodic table (and mostly where they go), all of the President's last names, all of the countries of Europe (Kosovo just became independent, so that threw me at first -- in fact, if you look at the stats page for that one, it lists 46 right as the highest possible...

Final Fantasy IV weird observation

feeds@yuku.com (ACC KAIN) — Fri, 09 May 2008 07:50:28 GMT

Has anyone else but me ever noticed that in the cutscenes when it switches between scenes and fades to black to go back to the current scene with your characters, you can see them moving into place while the screen is still dark?

Why did they do it like that?

"The Rose" - I hate this story

feeds@yuku.com (Flying Omelette) — Fri, 09 May 2008 07:01:24 GMT

In the early days of the internet, you could not search "the rose lyrics" without this dumbass story coming up:

The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.

I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.

She said, 'Hi handsome. My...

Goodbye, my friends.

Die in a fire or something. ;D

Grand Theft Auto 4, but with less GTA and more anime schoolgirls and giant tentacles.

After a winter of discontent, the snapping point came while Ms. Venkatesan was lecturing on "ecofeminism," which holds, in part, that scientific advancements benefit the patriarchy but leave women out.

The only thing is, I don't know how seriously to take this story, since it's actually an editorial, not a...

Mass Effect takes anti-piracy to a new level.

The PC version of the game will connect to an authentication site every 5 to 10 days to confirm that your CD key and computer info hasn't changed.

If your net connection is down or their system is down when one of the checks is due, you will not be able to play the game that you supposedly own until it's back up.

Does anyone think this is a good idea?

Airport

feeds@yuku.com (Crawl and 1OOO) — Tue, 06 May 2008 11:02:00 GMT

FO, when I come back, do you think you'd be able to pick up me and one of my co-workers from the airport? It'll be sort of late Friday night (maybe around 10 PM), so it shouldn't interfere with your work.

Are there any other tracker music fans here?

feeds@yuku.com (Kitsunexus) — Tue, 06 May 2008 04:20:56 GMT

I love tracker music, not just demoscene and game stuff, but like general stuff on the ModArchive.

Are there any other tracker fans here?

HAIL AMIGA!

Myths and realities

feeds@yuku.com (Flying Omelette) — Mon, 05 May 2008 22:51:56 GMT

Myth: You shouldn't try to become a ______ because you'll get upset when you're met with rejection.

Reality: The implication of this myth is that if you just get a normal job, you'll be magically surrounded by people who will always be nice to you and you'll live happily ever after.

Myth: You can't go to college because you...

The internet sucks

feeds@yuku.com (Flying Omelette) — Mon, 05 May 2008 22:25:24 GMT

If you need advice for something, there really isn't anyplace you can go.

I was telling Crawl that I really need help with the swordfight scene AT6, but there's really no place I could go to ask for advice on it, because (1) I don't trust that anyone else really knows any more than I do and that their suggestions would be an actual improvement and (2) if I asked for a source of inspiration I'd probably just get directed to some bullshit anime where swords and people...

Oddities

There is a weird disease called "Pokerus." It has absolutely no effect on the Pokemon it infects (as far as I know), and it goes away on its own. But that's just the thing. In the early stages, it would occur all the time, but I've restarted multiple times throughout the years, and it no longer occurs, even in my new files. Can you tell me what the deal with this is?

your design is lackluster.

make your background fixed so when you scroll the background doesnt, it will add a point or two to your design score.
CSS wise:

Or not. I don't care.

Captain and Tennille

feeds@yuku.com (Crawl and 1OOO) — Sat, 03 May 2008 16:26:56 GMT
So, FO got a Captain and Tennille album, and I find out that "The Captain"'s real name is Daryl Dragon.

What the hell? Dragon is a much cooler nickname than Captain.

LOL moments

feeds@yuku.com (Flying Omelette) — Sat, 03 May 2008 14:55:12 GMT
So this morning I went to the Post Office to mail some NES carts to NESreproductions. When it's time to leave, I walk over to my car in the parking lot...and notice a handicapped card on the corner of the windshield. At first, I couldn't figure out why someone put that there, and I even briefly thought it might've been a ticket for parking in a handicapped spot...but the spot was not handicapped and it appeared to be a genuine handicapped parking permit, like the one Crawl's...
