What the hell? I played this game so much in my childhood, and I loved it. I still love this game, or at least the memories I have of it. Back when I played it (And beat it.) plus i knew it was an educational game before i got it, that the only way my parents would let me get another video game at the time, (it had to be educational) Now as for the commentary, sadly I am ashamed at what the internet, mostly youtube, has created, ppl who get attention by cursing video games they didn't like, I mean c'mon did he really have to swear so much? no, he just wanted ppl to feel the way he did confused and powerless before an educational games (this makes me wonder about his level of intelligence) this vid got no lol's from me.
The guy felt confused when playing the game for the same reason I did - because it didn't tell you anything. It didn't tell you what you were supposed to do or how you were supposed to do what it is you were supposed to do.
As for the cursing, well, cursing is funny. The guy was making a funny video, so of course he swore. Nothing new about that. And he experienced anger at the game, which usually makes people swear.
I'll admit, when I was a kid, I didn't give this game a try. But today, I still won't give the game a try. If I want to learn about old cities or whatever, I'll open a book. Educational games can be good, they can be fun, but if learning isn't what you want when playing games, then they're usually boring.
And nobody can argue that that boss fight wasn't shitty. You don't even take damage? What the fuck is the point? You go through the level jumping on shit, why do you need to jump some more on a boss that offers absolutely no difficulty?

I'm going a different route than everyone else. I'm thinking that a person who has changed the world the most is an inventor. I'm not sure which one, but inventors have done a lot for us, and depending on the invention, they could have made something that nearly every person in the world uses.
Take Thomas Edison - he invented a ton of shit, and a lot of it is either still used today or has been modified so that it's still used today.
Another, Albert Einstein - not necessarily an inventor, but without him, the atomic bomb may never have been created, and that bomb has affected a whole lot of people. Without it, Japan would have quite a few more people right now, and the Cold War never would have happened.
How about the guy who invented the air conditioner? I don't know who it was, but air conditioning ROCKS! Stick that up your ass, mother nature!
What I'm trying to say is, a person standing up and saying things can have a huge effect, but it won't effect nearly as many people as inventing something good that everyone can use. After a hundred years, people may not care what the speaker said (or it may not be relevant), but they could still be using toilets, made long before the speaker was even born.

I'll say this about the idea of a stimulus package sent out to regular citizens - in the end, it will either not help those who get it or piss off those who get it.
The people who are doing well that get the stimulus will just buy something new, but it's not money they need.
The people who need money that get the stimulus will be able to pay their electric bill or water bill for a month, and that's it, as FpoD said. The next month, they could be screwed. This could lead to anger because the lower-income people would think, "Why'd they give money to the middle-class people when they don't need it, but I do?" or "What the government gave isn't enough to do anything. Did they really think this pittance would help any?"

Of all topics that should never go on any internet forum, "abortion" is the top one. It's not a discussion, its asking for a flame war.It all depends on the people that are talking.
Though, it is said that politics and religion should never be brought up among friends and family, and the subject of abortion blends politics and religion.

As awesome as it would no doubt be, I just feel obligated to put this here:Spoiler:
Old picture is ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooold.

Just curious (not asking for any major spoilers), is this like Liar Liar, where he's forced to say yes to everything because of some sort of magic, or is he just being open-minded and deciding to say yes to everything?

It comes from the book "lolita" written in 1955.Technically, the term "Lolita" refers to girls between the ages Nine and Forteen. If 13 is too old for you, you cannot claim you have the "Lolita Complex" ("lolicon"). USE LANGUAGE PROPERLY!
To elaborate:
Lolita, written by Vladimir Nabokov, involves a young girl that is sexually active and a grown man that is attracted to her. The term "lolicon" comes from this, short for "Lolita complex." So, a lolicon is a person who is attracted to young girls, though it isn't necessary that the young girls be sexually active. In the West, the term "lolicon" is usually used to refer to media that includes young girls participating in sexual acts or acting erotically or the like.
The object of the lust, the young girls, are commonly referred to as "lolis," which is short for Lolitas, a Lolita being a sexually active (or simply attractive) young girl, typically between the ages of nine and fourteen, as ero-jiii has said.
The way it is usually defined, a lolicon can like only drawn lolis or only real life lolis or both. It is not necessary that a lolicon like both or only one of the two.
If a man says that he is a lolicon, he is admitting to liking lolis. If a girl says that she is a lolicon, she is either admitting that she likes lolis or is confused and means to say that she is a loli.
The other side of lolicon is shotacon, where there is an attraction to young boys instead of young girls.
It is important to note that lolicon only refers to girls that have either hit puberty but aren't far along or are on the verge of hitting puberty. So, strictly speaking, a five-year-old girl who probably will not hit puberty for at least four years, is not a loli, and a sixteen-year-old girl, who probably has been going through puberty for at least four years, is not a loli.

Thanks, Shaggy, but I'm only 18. Hmm, didn't think you would imagine me to be 3 years older then I am, but I'll take it as a compliment.I just guessed. :lol:
I imagine the average user of Fakku is between 18 and 25, though with more users closer to 18 than 25. I base my guesses on that and . . . how I'm feeling at the moment? No hard thinking put into it.

I find it funny to think about but what would it be like if we are all together in the same room, a TV, some Game Consoles, Beer, hard liquor, and junk food, abundant. What would it be like?I think it would suck, because there would only be, like, 20 people there.
The rest would not be able to come, because they're 13.
You're thinking of 4chan.
Most of the regular members of Fakku (people who regularly post on the forums, I mean) are over 13. Hell, a large number of them are over eighteen, and the remaining are sixteen or seventeen.

I'd go, but I'd be the shy girl in the back. Though I would talk if talked to. I think it would be interesting to see all of you guys together in a single place, we could bullshit in real time.See, one chick who isn't afraid of some sort of possible gang-rape.
Not that that is at all likely or anything...

bleh, we all know a good 25% of us are probably underage, the only people who can safely say are of age are those who post their pictures... if the pictures are legit.I know everybody would consider me underage considering my username. My picture and the time on Serious Discussion are evidence that I'm old enough.
I wouldn't suspect you of being underage, you just don't come across that way, even with the name. Even though I've never seen said image.
Guesses as to my age, for shits and giggles?
Over 21, but not yet 22? Maybe six months away from being 22?
I'm horrible with ages, whether it's over the internet or in life. Especially when it comes to girls (though that's neither here nor there). When I was seventeen, I hit on a fourteen-year-old girl, thinking she was older.
I now ask for identification up front.
"I hate that I can't tell when a girl's underage,
You know, I tell her she's a nice piece of ass,
Then her daddy punches me in the face"
Actually, I'm 19. But you weren't too far off.
I was first going to say between 19 and 20 but bumped it up because you've repeatedly talked about drinking. Not saying that underage drinking is bad or anything like that, I was just thinking that perhaps you were past the legal drinking age since you knew a bit about booze. Should have stuck with my instincts, especially since I've known a lot of people under 21 who know a ton more about alcohol than I do.
Before anyone can ask, I'm 22, going on 23, because that's how time works. Always forward.
And for years, I have been an avid supporter of making all girls wear buttons that say their age. Not knowing age can get you in serious trouble, what with the way girls grow these days.
