Do you think the new Hobbit movies are basically retreads of the LOTR trilogy?

[BDK Shaun]

Never able to sit thru LOTR, but I would say you can't reboot/retread/redo this close to the originals.

Watch it live or DVR it?

[Jun-fan]

Actually, I don't have cable - I use Hulu for all of my viewing pleasure, which is kinda closer to DVR than live, so...

While we're on TV viewership, did you ever own a Betamax/do you still have a VCR in your household?

[Rookeye]

Have several VCRs actually, but only use to watch the ORIGINAL Star Wars, where Han shoots first... ;)


Do you think voice overs ruin a film (e.g. Blade Runner)?

[Jun-fan]

Haven't seen Blade Runner, but voiceovers in generally aren't always bad. Bad dubs, as in kung fu movies, are a different story...

[Jordan Moore]

This thread tho 😂

Getting nostalgic - It brings back a lot of sweet memories. My first girlfriend and kiss among other things.

------------------------------
Is it legal for a man to marry his widow's sister?

[Rookeye]

Depends on the country/religion. Some groups are encouraged to marry their sibling's widows.


How long ago was your last ticket from the police? ;)

[Dianish]

(Rookeye - A dead man cant marry his widows sister.. Duuh :P )

Must be 12 years ago by now. Was driving my moped - Puch VZ50 3gear. It was tuned and a motorcycle cop went after me and pulled me over. Gave me a ticket for having an illegal exhaustpipe - He didnt bother checking all the other modifications.

-------------------------------
Have you ever been caught farting in a public place? :)

A 10 foot rope ladder hangs over the side of a boat with the bottom rung on the surface of the water. The rungs are one foot apart, and the tide goes up at the rate of 6 inches per hour. How long will it be until three rungs are covered?


(It wont. The boat is floating and as the water rises the boat follows - logic. )

[Jun-fan]

Unless the ladder is weighted, the bottom three rungs won't be submerged since they will float as the water rises.

Where would you like to live out your retirement years?

[Rookeye]

Preferably on planet Earth... ;)


If you could be part of the first Mars Colony, but never see your family or friends again, would you go?

[Dianish]

Yes. I probably would.

I dont talk to my remaining family and dont have any friends(Ye, true story but it doesnt belong here).

----------------------------
If you could teleport yourself to a random place of your choice but never be able to return - Where would you go?

[Jun-fan]

Almost like the Mars colony question, but with no limitations. I'd love to teleport into a black hole. I'd love to see what all the fuss is about. Of course, this assumes that I have a suit on that can resist that much gravity and whatever else is on the other side of the black hole.

Do you prefer actual books or books on e-readers (like the Kindle or Fire)?

[KillerX]

I use both and prefer paperbacks
How many decades of research is needed before GMO's have a final verdict.

Once we definitively KNOW they're bad, and it's too late to do anything about it (all the worlds crops are now GMO, etc.) ;)


Do you remember the time BEFORE they sealed Tylenol and other pill bottles, and why the change was made? o.O

[KillerX]

I do, it was because disgruntled employees were adding impurities, some of which were lethal

Does rain mean drive faster everywhere

[Rookeye]

What do you think about the idea of a guaranteed minimum income or a negative income tax, which are systems of welfare where every person recieves a small amount of money each (month/week) in order to live a frugal lifestyle, which also supplements whatever income a person receives?

[legalious]

I would want to test it on a small scale first, since I don't know what the outcome could be.

Death Star Canteen (lego version) always cracks me up... ;)


Do you think George Lucas:

(A) should never have meddled with the cannon of his own films, leaving them essentially as is, or

The figures given from various news agencies always seem to round it to "nearly 3,000" who died. A lot.


If the mortality rate is 100% on this planet, why is the idea of an afterlife so persistent, across generations and cultures? (Where would a mortal race get the idea of something different?)

[Jun-fan]

I think it goes back to the belief that there was something else out there that controlled life as we know it (pre-science days). That belief also led people to think that there was something beyond our physical selves and helped them to cope with death - instead of an end, some started to think that it was a beginning of a new, better life.

Do you believe in ghosts?

[Rookeye]

Define "ghosts". And "pre-science". ;)


Did you ever play tricks on yourself as a kid, trying to scare yourself? If yes, why?

[Jun-fan]

Do you ever read the terms of service or the end user license agreements for games and other software, or do you only read them when they come up in a situation (i.e. Gree says VPNs are against TOS - did you go look that up or did you know that already from reading it beforehand)?

I actually just read the ToS from Gree as I was wandering around the forums, no specific issue in mind

Would you prefer a Solar or Lunar calendar? Why?

What's the one toy that you had as a kid that you would love to have back and pass to your own kids (or the toy that you already did)?

[Rookeye]

The Barbie design sketch thingee. I have no idea what it's really called, but you put exchangeable plates into a template, one each for hairstyle/head, shoulders, one for "top" to the waist, one from waist to knees, and one from knees to feet/shoes. Once your selections were in place, you put paper over the plates and made a rubbing using the included graphite block.

If you were a budding fashion designer, it was just the thing to give you ideas. :)

Because all simulation were created by real peoples imagination.

How far can the human imagination go?

[Rookeye]

The human imagination is limited in that it can only grope haltingly towards things, places, or concepts it hasn't already been "in reality". We can conceive amazing things...but those things are usually grounded in the reality of our current existence. It is the visionaries of our culture who leap beyond these limitations, or who are "ahead of their time".

You are in Berlin, 1933.
Somehow, you find yourself in a position where you can effortlessly steal Hitler's wallet.
This theft will not affect Hitler's rise to power, the nature of World War 2, or the Jewish Holocaust.
There is no important identification in the wallet, but the act will cost Hitler 40 Reichsmarks and completely ruin his evening. You do not need the money. The odds that you will be caught committing this act are less than 2 percent.

Are you ethically obligated to steal Hitler's wallet?

[Ant venom]

Yes I am,no one likes Hitler.

What is ur favorite instrument?

[Jun-fan]

Scalpel.

Cracked your iPhone. Repair, replace, or just deal with it?

[Ant venom]

Live music/festival unless it is free.

Would u rather die or spend the rest of ur life as a penniless person only getting 1 cents every 50 years and feeding on knats?

[Lolsies]

I think I would still live. There's always hope in life and you should make the most out of it, whether it be helping someone out or any other way you can make a difference in someone's life. I understand that situation might be very difficult to live in, but I would make the most of it and look at the positive side of life.

If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live life differently?

[Ant venom]

If that were to be the case then I would obviously marry earlier, know about KnD earlier, and prepare my funeral earlier and also at the same time spend every last dime I have but leave one of them for my children or heir to my fortune.

Have u ever watched the Movie- Hachi: A Dog's Tale, 2009 before? I just watched a rerun today on TV and it was a great movie.

[Rookeye]

Alas, have never seen.

How long have you played KnD? What percentage of your total "gaming life" has been spent playing it? ;)

[legalious]

Alas, have never seen.

How long have you played KnD? What percentage of your total "gaming life" has been spent playing it? ;)

Wheel of Fortune...i love a spin of chance versus the certainty of being beaten by a genius next to me ;)


Would your friends consider you a radical?

[Sol Invictus]

Just wanted to pop in and say FFUUCCKKKKKK GREE.

Have a nice day. Carry on.

[Ant venom]

Nope my firends wouldn't Rookeye.

Family Feud or Judge Judy?

[Rookeye]

Judge Judy...her vitriol is entertaining vitriol.

If you hate the game, why play it? Im genuinely curious/confused by those who post invective on a forum for a game they no longer play, and even more confused why those who hate a game might stick around. Unconfuse me! ;)

[Ant venom]

They do it to express their hatred for the game and in an attempt to try and make the game shut down or have the company fall through some posts that are deleted anyways.

If Obama and Mitt Romney were about to fall off a cliff who would u save, and the person u save will become the President of The United States of America for life and your life and your great-grandchildren's life.

Cheers;
Ant venom
