I can't ride my bike with no handlebars

Central Avenue

Or tie a knot in a cherry stem.

Or tell you about Leif Ericson.

At this rate, I'll never be able to end the planet in a holocaust!

Tnophelia

I can.

Trash_Vortex

Why would you want to end the planet?

Tnophelia

To make a new one?

Central Avenue

Because I can, obviously.

Tnophelia

Yes, you can.

randomtropeloser

If I really put enough effort into it, I could probably end the planet within a few years.  Not that I'd want to or anything.

Tnophelia

I don't fall under such delusions. I need the planet for entertainment.

randomtropeloser

Me too.  It would sort of be cool to see what existing without it would be like, if only for the peace and quiet, but the world has too much awesome crap in it for me to actually want to destroy the place.

Tnophelia

Earth has minecraft. Humanity has redeemed themselves.

randomtropeloser

Minecraft, Anime, Akira Kurosawa, any game by Square Enix, Neil Gaiman.  Yeah, I'd say humanity has pretty much earned it's right to be spared when I inevitably gain access to a "nuke the world" button.  Also, apologies if this post contains too much gushing for an IJBM board.

ClockworkUniverse

^All that, plus Doctor Who and computers.

randomtropeloser

^ Agreed. 

DYRE

any game by Square Enix

When was the last time they made a game worth playing?

randomtropeloser

....Well....   [I liked Final Fantasy 13]

ClockworkUniverse

-has never played a FF game he found interesting enough to finish-

Central Avenue

I have to say, of the few threads I've started, this is my favorite derail so far.

randomtropeloser

O hey, I just remembered another thing that makes humanity worth keeping around.  Disney!

ClockworkUniverse

Disney? You mean the company that killed large numbers of small animals to make a "documentary" more interesting?

randomtropeloser

Yes!  Feel that Disney magic, you crazy lemmings you!

Tnophelia

Nah, the Disney that killed Spear's little sister's career by making Moral Faggotry acceptable.

Central Avenue

^^^^ I like to think my avatar reminded you. :P

randomtropeloser

^^Yes, that Disney too...  I'm starting to feel a bit self-conscious now.

^ You would think right!

Tnophelia

I wish...I wish...animation was out of the god damn ghetto.

South Park and Ugly Americans can only go so far.

randomtropeloser

I thought you were going to burst into song there for a moment.  (Note to self: write song about how lame the Animation Age Ghetto is.)

And I totally agree, as if you couldn't guess.

Tnophelia

Yup yup.

How will a dark and edgy cartoon survive if it is not a potty humor cartoon?

If that's all that can survive in america, then it's not worth animating anything. not even disney movies or Pixar films.

randomtropeloser

I guess that's why folks like us have to turn to anime and such.  Though I don't know if I'd say it's the only thing that can survive so much as it is the only thing adults can watch without getting some weird looks.  Take Princess and the Frog for instance, it was a great film!  But for some reason all my friends called me gay/childish/whatever for getting it on DVD.

Tnophelia

It's because America is about gender roles and money.

randomtropeloser

-sigh-  Unfortunately, you kind of seem to be right.  I really don't like gender roles though.  Both genders seem like such fun to be, how can they expect me to choose just one or the other?

Tnophelia

No, I mean M for Manly, F for Faggy.

As in we put too much importance in stupid shit rather than let different ideas affect us and define the country. Sure, communism is right over the border and scaring everyone, which is why new ideals are unacceptable, but it doesn't mean we have to limit ourselves to only one pinnacle of society.

randomtropeloser

As always, I agree.  I guess that'd make me F for Faggy then.  I mean, I try to be manly in the ways that actually matter, i.e. taking care of my responsibilities and crap, but I can't help but find acting effeminate to be kind of fun.
