Yup. I can see that the game has already been re-branded as Lunarwars Classic. Good job Malcolm. Congrats! Also: The border is missing…the title.

No, but we can adjust them carefully by way of mocking laughter and demeaning photoshop wizardry.

Latest news: Sandro’s decided to take the L2 idea and go batshit insane enough to have a resetting clone of the game up by, apparently, the time Starbucks opens.

Are we going to be able to reset most people’s personalities also?

Nobody knows what the cherries are, and you posted that as me.

It’s a bit more than a new look. The point was to bring all of the content together on the Homescreen, so there are different styles applied to Videos, Blogs, etc, almost like a Facebook minifeed of awesome original content.

And then while I was dicking around with things I made things a bit darker.

And then I added tabs.

And then I decided the sidebar should be a link dump.

But I swear I’m in control of these impulses.

Have you ever mushed a marshmellow back and forth with your fingers until it is more like a sticky taffy than a fluffy treat? Good stuff.

I thought a dinosaur was escaping from the front garden and trying to climb in through the kitchen window, but it was just my hideous cactus.

Also, the bag of marshmallows I bought to make rice krispy squares says “Fat Free” on it. I find this terribly amusing.

Jeez Sammy, ever stopped to consider that just maybe making your very first public post here describe how you want to sexually degrade and violate someone most of us have known for a while, might be considered a bit over the top?

Your very first post epitomises something I hate about the internet. People that seem to think that because they are isolated by a PC and miles of network, they can make inappropriate, rude, or threatening posts with no consequence. If you, a stranger, went up to a group of people in a bar and told them that you wanted to hog-tie and ball-gag one of the girls ‘cos she was a cheap ‘lil whore what do you think might happen? Everyone laugh and pat you on the back for being such a joker? Well I don’t know where you come from, but you can be sure that wouldn’t be my response. If a friend of mine got a letter written like that in the post, I’d tell her to take it straight to the police - why do you think it’s acceptable behaviour just because this is the internet?

So, yes, I think you’re over-reacting. You could’ve back-tracked and shrugged off your first post as a bad-taste joke, I kept my responses deliberately frivolous to give you that opportunity, but you just posted another WoT trying to justify it because someone you’ve never met let you down. The internet’s not like real life - it’s less personal, you can’t forge strong personal relationships as easily as if you meet people face to face and spend time with them. We all have lives outside the web, and they are obviously going to take precedence because they are (and should be) more important to us. You say you’re 57, well if that’s true then you should be old enough to realise this, and that a simple polite (possibly even chastising) email to Gen to explain how you felt would have been more appropriate than what you posted. Then you chalk it up to experience and move on. And for your information, I’m well past 30 and to see this sort of childish nonsense from someone of your age disappoints me.

Oh nice a wall of whiney text.

Look guy, I don’t think you’re very good at this whole internet thing. Also, I fail to understand how you don’t grasp that publicly talking about graphically violating one of our writers makes it pretty much impossible for you to get all high and mighty about anything. And you’re 57 and express your desire to violate a married twentysomething? Gross :|

It’s cute though, not used to seeing people who still have some notion that they automatically matter to other internet people, you precious delicate little snowflake you.

Cue the wall of text that says “WELL OBVIOUSLY YOU CARE YOU HYPOCRITE! butthurtbutthurtbutthurt”. It’s cause I’m a troll baby, and you’re low hanging fruit.

When any of you are snubbed, or stood up, by someone who *seemed* enthusiastic to meet you, or to get to know you better, or to work with you on somethng, how do you react? Would you not feel that person was a phony, a liar, an abuser? When one doesn’t consider another’s feelings, there’s a fallout to suffer. It almost always happens that way. A price to be paid for an accidental or deliberate faux pas. That is what Gen did. A social blunder, and there appears no question it was done deliberately. Now, I could recount in detail those days during which she could’ve easily replied, and acknowledged the script, the emails, just said a simple, ‘thank you’, but why don’t you ask Gen why she acted that way towards me? Instead of hurling personal appearance insults, or having me appear to be a victimizer of a young *innocent* woman, why don’t you ask yourself how you’d feel if someone treated you like I was treated? You know, I’m 57 years old, and Gen says she’s 25…well, in my 20s, I can remember making numerous social, personal mistakes that cost me emotionally, financially quite a lot. It’s a learning decade of your life. I think Gen needs to learn that once she accepts to work with another, that she simply communicate with them — not go totally silent. If there was even the slightest personality characteristic about the person you want to work with, that upsets you or gives you cause for concern, it’s your responsibility to not accept any offer to work with them. I sent Gen a script, a “skeleton” video (with numbered scenes), and several emails. She said she’d work with me, and in fact, she offered to do “voices” for my videos earlier. That is why I thought she wanted to work with me. Now, as I just recently received, she’d annoyed I’m “hounding” her, and wants me to leave her alone. First off, let her take responsibility for the things she says and does, that are indifferent to a person’s feelings, and how these actions and words hurt people. I’m not a game, a software program, or a fucking computer. I react just as all you human beings do when someone doesn’t consider my feelings. There is anger and often a retaliatory response. I was asked for details of the “bitter incident” and you got them. Now, am I supposed to be the villain, the big bad wolf, unfairly hurting the Lil’ Red Riding Hood girl? Well, goddamnit, this lil’ red riding hood gal took a social whiz-piss on me and I’m not about to let people urinate on me and walk away, claiming they’re the victim, and not me. I’m the victim here, and she’s getting exactly what she deserves for the pissing I got. If one cannot face up to the hurt they cause others, then let them continue to spin the situation, and act the poor unfair victim. I care not. I know I was shit on, and I know why — she didn’t like me, and she told me that I was a ‘creep’ (ironically) in the same email in which she accepted to work with me! Can you understand that weirdness? So, I just ignored the odd “creep” offense, and, being much older, I realized it was just her young age and inexperience that spurred the dichotomous ‘acceptance.’ No, I don’t think it’s being “overly sensitive” to let someone who nonchalantly, inexplicably hurts your feelings know precisely that there’s a price to be paid. If Gen doesn’t want to apologize, then let her continue to play the victim of the “creep”. Life’s not all a game, a joke, an act, Gen baby, or a remote fantasy thing on the internet — there are real live human beings in here, with real feelings. Maybe working with faceless, no-real-(last or first)name human beings warps people’s sense of co-identity, fair play, of respect, of empathy for another…whatever it is, I’ve seen plenty of this kind of cold emotional crap manifest in chat groups. Are we to assume we’re all just fair game for a bored moment when some unfeeling fucker desires a bit of “entertainment”? I’d imagine most of you are under 30, and, hence, have a long way to go, a lot of things to learn about yourselves, and social interactions…well, here’s one lil’ lesson for one of ya. Gen, learn from it, and, for christ’s sake, don’t be a lil’ girl playin’ the crowd for sympathy as an unfair victim. Take responsibility for your words and actions, consider how your lack of feeling towards another would feel if it were applied to you in the same situation. I will not make any more babble board entries. I’m through with this forum. My mission is over. And, to be bluntly honest, I no longer want anything to do with Gen, or any other person who is in her age group. Too much trouble, too little understanding, too much trivial soap operatics, passing of blame, and…the inevitable direct personal appearance swipe by some guy who obviously hasn’t grown up.
