I personally like Italy more then Norway or Britain.

I think this decision is only tough for the Americans... sigh, I'll just leave this picture here:

I also loled at Pakistan.

And I guess Poland seems to have taken the Obama bad knowledge of polish history incident badly.

7/10, It's very kitsch rock...

The Chorus is actually an old Rus' prayer...

Friedrichshafen is almost as far south as you can go while still being in Wurttemburg. If you look at Lake Constance (Bodensee) it's about in the middle between that little spit of a peninsula (Lindau) and the two fingers (Konstanz).

Specifically I'm in Fischbach, which is an hours' walk to the west of downtown Frieds', and half an hour east of Meersburg.

 

Where you suggested is a bit far to go, especially since my itinerary for such a day trip would consist of taking a picture of a house where a guy on a forum that go to, used to live. I'd much rather make a day trip to Ulm or Frankfurt, maybe check out the Mercedes Benz museum.

 

I still have yet to stop by the Dornier and Zeppelin museums in town. Friedrichshafen is where the rigid frame airship was invented.

Oh no, I wasn't suggesting you to go there haha, just saying. I was on the Bodensee, and throughout all schwarzwald, there is a really nice island on bodensee there for recreational activities. Have a bnuch of photos of it still but they're not converted to digital, was a long time ago. At that time I went to the Richard-Wagner Gymnasium in Baden-Baden, I even played for Iffezheim FC Football club.

Blue, if you know a village called Iffezheim in your area, I used to live there, Karlstrasse 24 to be exact.

I've heard from a guy who's old enough to know, that politcal movements in the United States move in swings. About 40 year long pendelum swings where they go from Democrat to Republican and back again. It happened with Reagan, and then with Clinton, and now Obamer.

I heard the same thing from my young brother when he was 13. I think the formula was 2 successive terms republican then 1 democrat.

But I think it's finally about to be broken, Romney just isn't as "charismatic" as Bush and not as "wise" as Reagan. Just from my perspective I neither find Bush charismatic nor Reagan smart or wise.

Fine Blue, I guess I will post some negative aspects about alcoholism, and embarass Ukraine at the same time, and that would be accomplished with this news i just read:

Duke Nukem 1 was definitely the earliest gaming experience that I can remember. Probably why I am such a huge Duke Nukem fan today, I felt I grew up with him. Even before Duke Nukem 3D became popular, I knew who he was.

Haha, lol the 2d version, I personally spent my time playing Dangerous Dave1,2,3, same genre yet more interesting/funny game (to me personally), I also played Goblins, and Sierra Quests, do you remember those? Before shooters, The 80's and early 90's I would say was completely dominated by Quests. Unfortunately Myst/Raven was the last famous Quest I knowm and that was 10 years ago. Unfortunately, I think today's generation don't even know what that genre means.

And Leisure Suit Larry for those who were old enough at the time.

Wasn't old enough but played it anyway. In fact I wasn't even born yet for the first few Leisure Suit Larry's, I may sound old by the games I describe I played but no, I just played these games in the late 90's, 2000's because in Ukraine classics were/are valued, and sold in cds containing up to 1000 classic dos games, in fact my first operating system was Windows 95, even though I know DOS all the way so yeah, anyway, damn, there was like, what 8 series of that game?

Duke Nukem 1 was definitely the earliest gaming experience that I can remember. Probably why I am such a huge Duke Nukem fan today, I felt I grew up with him. Even before Duke Nukem 3D became popular, I knew who he was.

Wikileaks is Scientology for Anonymous. Or, it was. Now, apparently, there's been a schism because wikileaks wants PAID.

 

http://www.theatlanticwire.com/global/2012/10/wikileaks-implements-paywall-anonymous-does-not-approve/57839/

 

I laugh.

So why do you laugh? Clearly by now, Wikileaks is an intelligence bureau that is richer then any of us and has more dirt then the information most countries have, and still growing.

I rarely drink alcohol unless I have peanuts, pork rinds, potato chips or something else that's salty and crispy with it. Especially if it's beer or a vodka drink. And wine I drink almost exclusively with food.

 

Though granted sometimes I just enjoy a drink on its own, especially if it has a rather complex taste that could easily be screwed up by food. This usually goes for whiskey which is just ruined by food usually.

More suggestions for you Alyxx to go with alcohol, now if the alcohol is more bitter, soft taste then sweet (Basically most beer, Vodka, Tequilla) try Sushi, Dry Fish (Kabachyok), A hot sauce Sandwhich from Subway, I think it was the Friday special sandwhich? For sweeter drinks like Martini, Rum, Konyak try Sushi (Sushi is good with most anything), mushrooms, and simple bread.

Never mix Martini with fanta, I had a funny story where 2 of us warned a friend of not mixing those two, when he did and then almost instantly threw it out on his floor, thank god we ditched that party in time though, right before the carpet started burning and some idiots decided to try to extinguish it with whisky.

If Ukraine could vote for the next american president I think it would be 90% Obama and 10 % Romney, and those 10 % would vote for Romney either because they are racists or got bribed, then when the elections would be over, as always in Ukraine only 5-10% will approve of the government anyway..

Obviously the math is wrong, that's implied in the riddle. But what exactly is wrong?

I have a feeling you can't really answer that riddle. I mean all I came up with was that math just doesn't work when you mix what you owe with what you have and what you bought. In any case everything works perfectly without the chocolates, it's when you add the chocolates that shit gets serious (Is that how you say it?)

I'm not even close to answering the original question, where the 10 roubles went. Only answer I can come up with is that they never existed in the first place.

Anyway that's the thing with riddles, they all come in different formats and even when there is a question the answer could easily be not related to the question or material written in the riddle. In fact the whole riddle could be some kind of complete nonsense which somehow though gives some logical outcome that other people would agree is the answer after they know it....

EDIT: Again I thought about it, and there's definetly something fishy about calculating the chocolates into the money you owe. Yet then there is no clear formula how to count how much you owed in the begining if you do buy chocolates.. No other numbers add up to 150 as far as I know, there is also the 100 roubles you lost in the beggining which could also be counted as a loss....

Well I guess this belongs here too then, when I was a child my mother told me the riddle about the hunter and the dog, this riddle should teach you that not all riddles are the in same style.

A hunter went into a forest with his dog, when he tripped on a branch, accidentally shot his dog and fell on spikes. Who survived?

I'm just going to put the answer here, it's not worth talking about it.

Answer:

Anyway, my mother often made impossible word play riddles.

And then there's this shit which I haven't "really" found the answer to and probably there is no clear answer to this, if anyone knows a real answer to this bravo... if you came up that the math formula implied here is wrong you are where I am:

"Let's say I borrowed 100 Roubles from my friend,

went to a store and lost them,

met my girlfriend, borrowed 50 roubles from her,

bought 2 chocolates, 10 roubles each,

I have 30 roubles left,

I gave them to my friend and still owe him 70 Roubles,

and to my girlfriend I owe 50 roubles, So 120,

plus I have 2 chocolates, So 140 Roubles,

Where are 10 Roubles???"

WARNING: REMEMBER, THE DANGER ISN'T HOW DRUNK AND STUPID YOU MIGHT GET, THE DANGERS ARE YOUR LIVER, STOMACH AND OTHER ORGANS THAT CAN GET DAMAGED AND WITHOUT CAREFUL TESTING YOU WON'T NOTICE UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE.

Two personal rules for alcoholism I have is never go beyond 80 % shot mark. And I never use anything above 90 % and unknown label in cocktails/mixes.

I suggest everyone have a rule for alcohol depending on how their body can take it which they should never break.

For anyone not knowledgeable about this stuff, some people may drink heavier stuff if they are themselves a heavier person and naturally resistant to alcohol, however even when you don't get drunk from alcohol doesn't mean your stomach or liver are naturally resistant.

Another thing I learned is that Europeans can naturally take more alcohol then the rest on average due to the long lasting alcohol tradition. I'm not boasting, it's simply true.

So to keep account to this, if you are the average person:

Just stay away from Everclear if someone proposes to give you a shot, it will burn your throat and stomach, possibly making a hole in it which is nasty stuff.

Remember the word, "EVERCLEAR". Only two people may drink Everclear, idiots or a very small percentage of people born with an extremely good stomach/body resistance to alcohol and different food.

A lot of drinks are sold not to be taken as shots but to be mixed, in fact everclear writes "Don't drink shots of this", people do anyway.

Last type of drink without preparation you can drink safely is heavier vodka 50 %.

Last type of drink you can drink safely shots with preparation is Absynthe or very heavy (Bacardi) Rum and you HAVE TO PREPARE IT..

Don't drink American vodka above 80 %, it's only there to boast, and is not made properly as far as I heard. Don't drink moonshine until you yourself know how to make moonshine and can evaluate it.

Don't drink unknown brands until you know how to make moonshine and know how it's made.

If you insist on trying the harder stuff, first test yourself how your body takes wine, low alcoholic vodka, rum... If you have stomach/liver/hangover problems then, don't be stupid, don't risk it appreciate your alcohol level safely.

WARNING: JUST REMEMBER, THE DANGER ISN'T HOW DRUNK AND STUPID YOU MIGHT GET, THE DANGERS ARE YOUR LIVER, STOMACH AND OTHER ORGANS THAT CAN GET DAMAGED AND WITHOUT CAREFUL TESTING YOU WON'T NOTICE UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE.

Sorry I felt like copying the above statement, as it's too important. On top of that always be careful with FLAMES!

I love this game idea and a friend of mine played this, The engine is Chech and the maker of the Mod is from New Zealand, it can't possibly be bad. I have high expectations for it, but I'm afraid my computer would not work wit this game Seriously does this thing take a lot of shit or would it run on a 4 year old computer? Cause if it would I would download and try it right now definetly.

And lol Chernarus? That translates into Black Rus' or Russia, I wonder if that would be somewhere close to Kiev... There's Chervonarus, that would be on the carpathian mountains.

Also, great channel, I subscribed!

SUGGESTION 1. (Look below quotes)

1. Okay, so you want this moved to forum games?

 

2. it makes more sense to have an odd amount of judges to prevent ties.

 

3. how would involuntary judging work?

1. No, I will make a thread entirely for it, this is the Artist Competition discussion thread, leave it as it be for now...

 

2. I guess so, but the way I was thinking the judges would rate stuff out of 10, and simply explain a small bit, and the highest points added up from all the judges would go to the winner. The minimum points one would get is 5/10, nobody gets dissapointed and there is laughs and giggles .

 

3. Read above post.

SUGGESTION 1 is now 3 Voluntary judges.

Ok, I will start this thing in Forum Games. You see how I highlighted the important word?

I'm just not doing it right now, cause of two reasons.

1. I'm busy a lot this week with a bunch of birthdays and gigs and work and technical school and so on..

2. I want to figure out the fine details with the judges, what Bill said with voluntary judges is usually a good idea but I'm not quite sure we have enough people. However maybe two judges is enough for the games to work? Maybe stick with creator judging only? Or all participants must pick someone else's work and then the person who was picked the most wins?

Anyway look to it in the Forum Games section sometimes this week, I will put link and likely double post here when I do it.

And if somehow things don't work out with me, again by all means you, reader, can create the thread, just figure out the judges rules. Otherwise we basically have a good fundamental ground rules already.

EDIT: I will change the question to figure out how we want the judging to work, I think we can solve it like that

VERY IMPROTANT EDIT: IF you have a suggestion, for the poll's sakes, depending on if you are first or second to suggest a new Suggestion, in your post write in the begging "Suggestion 1" or "Suggestion 2" like in the poll. I ALLOWED RE-VOTING

And another thing... I don't drink for having an artistic mood. It was quite offensive of yours.

I'm sorry. I was merely implying drinking alone for any other reason other then artistic/recreational is not a good habit.

Also when I want to offend someone it would be pretty obvious, all the stuff I write which is questionably offensive I never mean offensive, so take that into consideration.

Most of my info comes from personal conclusion, I don't bother reading much scientific tests on arguable stuff such as drugs, smoking, marijuana and so on.

I have my own theory on all of this, I don't care what people say about alcohol or whatever, I have lived life enough to see myself what alcohol does, and I can't imagine life without it.

And unless that X-Ray you say you saw was of the same person, I wouldn't even bother reading it.

10/10.

I absolutely loved it. I don't understand this getting pissed when I write my honest opinion, why the fuck would you upload stuff here then? So I could write 10/10 and you're happy? I'm a musician, audiophile and a DJ, I have a fucking right to describe what I don't like in a song and what I notice, if anything you should be happy I pointed out the negatives on a track, but I guess people are different.

Next time I won't judge your tracks then, I'll leave it for someone else.

Also no one said you have to put your favourite tracks here, if you don't want them judged, I don't put mine here.

Just put stuff you would be interested in getting judged for **** sake. That's what this topic is about.

The problem is alcoholism can kill you brain and then you act like a shit

Never experienced that.In my opinion Alcoholics are not dumber then non-Alcoholics, just care less. I've not seen a person suffer IQ from alcohol yet..

Sorry..... And look what I found:

Top 10 Myths About the Brain

 

2: Alcohol Kills Brain Cells

 

What about binge drinking or the frequent, sustained drinking of alcoholics?

Not so much. Even in alcoholics, alcohol use doesn't actually result in the death of brain cells. It can, however, damage the ends of neurons, which are called dendrites. This results in problems conveying messages between the neurons. The cell itself isn't damaged, but the way that it communicates with others is altered. According to researchers such as Roberta J. Pentney, professor of anatomy and cell biology at the University at Buffalo, this damage is mostly reversible.

 

Alcoholics can develop a neurological disorder called Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, which can result in a loss of neurons in some parts of the brain. This syndrome also causes memory problems, confusion, paralysis of the eyes, lack of muscle coordination and amnesia. It can lead to death. However, the disorder isn't caused by the alcohol itself. It's the result of a deficiency of thiamine, an essential B vitamin. Not only are severe alcoholics often malnourished, extreme alcohol consumption can interfere with the body's absorption of thiamine.

But I can tell you this, old age can make people crazy, lots of people just can't take it to be old and alone and they change, now that changes a person a lot from my experience. Especially women...

There is not much to do in Ukraine when you are old, those people who stay happy and completely sane are still active in live and play give in to new technologies, like my grand dad played chess on the computer and so on,my grandma solves puzzles, watches dvd tv and reads newspapers.. I know a bunch of old people who played video games like Stalker haha... those who can't find anything to do often go for alcoholism...

I've noticed the older you are here the more you drink.

Anyway, in such a complicated situation you can't do much man... Send her to rehab maybe, but I doubt it will solve HER...

Old people are always going to be old people, if I'm going to be old and I feel like I'm useless and there is nothing to do in life I would be an alcoholic too.

Also from the sounds of it, you drink alone, which unless you use for artistry, I don't suggest.

Where I live, every 3rd person is an alcoholic.

I don't understand how swearing and talking shit to family are in any way side effects of being an alcoholic though.

I'm pretty sure that's just the person saying what the person thinks and not caring about consequences....

You would have to actually make her think different.

When I drank 2 liters of beer and 500 ml of rum last week I was not saying shit to anyone...

Study suggests alcohol doesn’t make you behave badly, it just makes you care less about doing so.

 

Drinking, according to the study, depresses how much one cares about embarrassment. In other words, as you drink, the amount you mind your own mistakes goes down.

 

And as any economist will tell you, if you lower a price, demand goes up. Thus, as you drink, you make a bigger ass of yourself than you would sober, and an increasingly large one with every double scotch you slosh down the ol’ gullet, because the ‘that was stupid’ signals hitting your brain are being ignored.

 

Even more, there is no excuse for foolish behavior. The same researchers had this to say: “Our study shows that alcohol doesn’t reduce your awareness of mistakes.” Yes, you knew what you were doing all along, when you called your ex-partner at four in the morning, and told them to drop dead. In fact, you just didn’t care that she was grading your papers at the time. You probably do now, but that doesn’t help, does it?"

4/10. If I want some Arpeggio Synth melody, I'd rather listen to absolutely any released Acid Trance, they're all basically the same. This is like that but with bad sound engineering. I don't like the beat either. kick is distorted, everything else is out of place.

And what the hell is with the intro? Who starts a track with the melody?

This is proper Sound Engineering.

Jek Jek Roo: The point is you join whenever you want to, if you're lucky you've already drawn something that the rules ask for..

Lord Sinister: Yes exactly the way you wrote. You can even write ridiculous rules like make a Penguin out of a Michael Jackson face (resizing it, collaging it). The idea is it can be both fun and educational/artistic.

Billy (Sorry lol): That's what this is about. Good point about signature. Judges, idk, we don't have that many people, that's why untill anyone knows a better idea, the person who stated rules will be his own judge. Of course someone may win the hearts of the stand-byers having not won the challenge..
