A poet once said: My test tube broke; I've got no ring, 'cause it's spilled in my unknown. My CRC book is not here; my slide rule is at home. The pucks don't bounce; the trains don't scream; my cume is gonna fall...and unless I pass that final quiz, I'll be screwed right to the wall.

You missed the timestream shenanigans, I see.

What's the song?

Good reason to keep playing to the end, no? It's based on this:

all I know isthat it totally sounds like something that would be said in and don't you dare deny it.

Can you give an abridged summary of that video?

Devastated by the unexpected death of his best friend, Tails ineffectually copes with his anxiety and grief (and attempt to stop 9/11) even as his entourage and inner psyche rush to reconfort him. Eventually, his world - and perhaps even reality itself - starts to crumble. However, no plot summary can do justice to the thematic depth, gorgeous art and sublime orchestral soundtrack of what will surely become a revered pioneer - you have to watch it infull to appreciate it. Ryan Dell truly is The One.

"Tip-tap crackerjack, Love is like candy. Too much candy though is bad for your teeth!" I am not sure what kind of message that is supposed to send to kids, but it did appear in the Australian version of the third Cardcaptor Sakura ending. I guess that is only mildly relevant though.

But being meguca is already suffering. :(

What is this from? I feel I should know.

Yes, the title of the game is mentioned in the song. Hard to miss from the line: "The magic labyrinth of I.M. Meen!"

SHE A BOPPIN' BITCH! SHE'S A BOPPIN BITCH!

Is the last part even true though? Maybe I am overestimating people a bit, but I feel like the idea that the media brainwashes people assumes a lot. For example, I have heard that for many issues, people kind of have to pay pretty close attention and have no strong views from the start in order to be manipulated by the media. I do not know that the "masses" really usually fit into either category. That being said, I definitely do not disagree that the media is powerful and I am no expert on how much it affects people's mindsets. I imagine that would be pretty tough to measure.

The Media has managed to convince people that a multi-ethnic, multi-generational group of people discontented with the state of things is a bunch of selfish white kids and has convinced people to feel like billionaires are persecuted. Just sayin'.

"For example, I have heard that for many issues, people kind of have to pay pretty close attention and have no strong views from the start in order to be manipulated by the media. I do not know that the "masses" really usually fit into either category." Thing is, media tends to be insidious. Advertisers in particular are masters at planting subconscious messages into people's brains, indoctrinating them into the consumer culture we have today by subtly associating products with respect and happiness and all those good things in life, by convincing people to define their very identities with brand labels, and I could go on and on. Really, it's precisely not paying close attention that lets those messages creep into your brain. And as for not having strong views, well, let's just say most people don't start off with a massive hate-on for corporations.

Malkavian, Maybe the media has convinced some people to feel that way, but I am a bit skeptical about whether it has manipulated or brainwashed people to see things like that. I also feel like the media is not just one monolithic entity (not that I think you believe that) and that just because something is reported by say the mainstream U.S. TV networks does not mean the "masses" will necessarily believe it. Abyss_Worm, I think you make a good point about media being insidious. Still, I wonder if people really are as gullible as you seem to describe them as being. I hope I am not pushing the point here too much since I certainly do not believe you are totally wrong here, but I feel like plenty of people are pretty cautious when it comes to ads, especially political ones.

Not so much the people themselves being gullible as businesses studying their target consumers and potential opposition really, really well.

You're dead. Your friends are dead. Your family's dead. Your fucking pets are being skinned alive. Your mom's a fucking whore. You suck at life. The whole word hates you. You're going to hell. Live with it. GAME OVER (was that too obvious)

Your entire family being mercilessly killed. "Feels bad, man."

I'm not an addict, I can quit playing anytime I want. >.<

That's not recursion, that's iteration.

Shut up and let me misquote my Haruhi.

TE VOY A HACER PICADILLO

Hey, I find it to be a most annoying sound. Not my fault if other people want to be annoying.

don cha mean winter?

Eh. Over here, they're interchangeable.

someone doesn't know Game of Thrones

Damn. I missed another joke.

Thanks for linking to that story. I have to agree with that guy too. I may have only eaten that Sonic gumball eyeball stuff once, but I know I liked it. Also, I think the fact that Sonic's eye color actually "matters" is kind of silly. Yet, I would classify it as actually sort of funny silly rather than annoying silly.

not sure if actual progression

Looks like a melody, not a progression.

...I don't recognize it.

what the fuck is a diarrhea dickwaffle.

And just what the fuck is a muscle?
