Kool-Aid Man goes CGI, gets a personality - Business - CBC News Edited by Dr. Cossack on April 12, 2013 at 15:05:52

So, now that it isn't March anymore and its not freezing winds all day, every day, I'm thinking it's time to get on some sort of a workout routine. The fact that my body is falling apart kind of helps.

I noticed that as long as I have some high energy music with a regular beat and a set of ear buds that will STAY THE HELL IN I can work out a lot harder and more often. Unfortunately, I don't know much about music in the last few decades, because I quit paying attention ...

Hi, I am back. Some of you might remember me about my rom hacking for Rockman & Forte ? :)

Anyway, I am trying to find the right word for Mayhem. For an example, Murder and Mayhem in Gotham City.

Should I write, "Murder and Destruction in Gotham City." instead ? Because I am translating the script to Portuguese. The Portuguese word for Mayhem is "mutilação" but I do not like the sound for it. Not many Portuguese people will understand the meaning of this word.

After 4 years, I've finally had it with my dual Philosophy/Psychology studies and decided to quit them. I've passed all the Philosophy classes I liked or was good at with ease on the first go, but have failed near half a dozen times on a handful of subjects, which yet remain. Psychology is more of a side-studies which was going to be my main one later on, but due to it requiring high mastery of statistics -- a subject that's been harder for me than French and Latin for Christ& ...

Nothing can stop the Smooze!

You're probably heard about the meteor incident in Dr. Cossack's neck of the woods (the character Doc, not the site admin Doc) in the Ural region. There's footage all over the YouTubes.

Spectacular, beautiful, and awful that so many were injured. Between this and the asteroid buzz, maybe NASA will get some extra funding from this recent press.

I like airheads:P

Misleading title? I've lost not one, but two WD external USB hard drives this month. I'm here to gripe about this and/or receive knowledgeable advice.

One an older model 500 GB or some such (I forget), probably had it for around 6 years or so; the other a new model 2 TB that I've probably had for a year and a half or less. The older one had precious and irreplaceable data that I might have SOME of on old CDRs that I don't know where they are right now... The newer one ...

Anyone remember those works of badass art? I loved them, all the plated Megamans, it seems they're hard to find and get a hold of now. :( Sad thing is, now that I'm older my figures have been broken or pieces are missing because when I was younger I played with them like they were figurines. I seriously felt cool having them lol.

o.o Does anyone know where I can get these figurines again?

Tell us about your nostalgia! What is it from back in the day that makes you happy? A show? A toy? A video game? Fill us in!

I just remembered the best thing ever.

Coming home from school to Toonami's lineup of Thunder Cats, Robotech and Dragonball Z while drinking squeez-its and eating butterfinger BBs, followed up by a night of taking on Chrono Cross on the PS1. Edited by rperdue on November 2, 2012 at 14:07:08

Hello, Interordi!
...

So, yeah, this happened today.

Discuss.

What were your favorite moments in the season 2 finale? :)

WARNING!! SPOILERS AHEAD!!

Well, obviously one of my favorite moments was the Sonic Rainboom at the end. :D I might have squeed. :P
Another awesome moment was the part where Pinkie freakin' sneezed confetti! XD Hahaha! That was wonderful. And then when she pulled Vinyl Scratch out of...somewhere, I was like "My name is Pinkie Pie--I sneeze confetti and carry DJs in my hammer space! What up?!"

The song Princes ...

Despite speaking about the chatroom some times in the past, few people bother to drop in anymore, even with a set schedule. Is there a reason why you don't come to talk with us?

Is the current chatroom format too old? Too uninteresting? Too focused? Too blue? Too laggy?

If you wanted to chat with other members of this site outside of the board, how would you like to do it? The current chatroom isn't really drawing in people, so maybe there's some fun alternative that I& ...

I think that says it all, but in case it doesn't... This is the Pony Picture topic. Post your pictures here and don't make a thousand topics just for Pony Pics. ;)

It's the end of the year! And who says "end of the year" says "year recap"! Yeah!!

One of those stories to catch my attention today was CBC's Top 12 Internet characters of 2012.

It turns out I've heard from 8 out of 12 of these. How about yourself? Is there any big name you believe was omitted from the list?

This made me do a double-take.


Scientists Developing Tornado Power Plant

The completed design could be one of the cheapest forms of energy around.

A group of Canadian scientists are working on a power plant that will use a controlled tornado to drive turbines, and they're calling it the Atmospheric Vortex Engine (AVE). Essentially, the AVE works by pulling hot, humid, low air into itself and creating a vortex - approximately the way a tornado works, this air makes a major tem ...

We're in 2012. This is the digital age, right? Some things have changed for the better, while others have yet to be worked on.

I'm making this post, hopefully the first in a series, to share my thoughts and experiences on how I can use mobile technology in my life.

Many people around here know about the PETs from the Mega Man Battle Network series, and how the characters in the games, anime and manga appear to be able to use these versatile devices to do about anything that i ...

Personal attacks are lame, especially in politics, and most notably when they attack something that isn't an actual problem by any stretch.

Now, this comes up: Candidate slammed for World of Warcraft fandom

One woman, running for a seat in the senate, is being attacked by the opposing group for playing as an Orc Assassination Rogue, level 85, in World of Warcraft. How is someone having a fun hobby being any ground for staging an attack for the first place?

Before you know it, w ...

I'm doing a senior project for school, and it involves researching the history of arcades. However, what I'm going to really be talking about are the social aspects--stuff like:

*Communities formed
*Friendships made
*General camaraderie
*Arcades as an escape
*The social experience

Basically, what kept people going beyond the attraction of the videogames, considering the rising popularity of home consoles through the 80s ad 90s.

If any of you guys were around in the 70s ...

So... I was on Facebook the other day, and what I saw in one of the MMOG groups I joined was a link. It contained nothing bad, no expicity, no suggestive material at all:

Click for Rewards?

Supposedly, if you click this, it will give you a referral link and give the initial referrer a point. And as such, trade the points in for rewards.

The site's title is called "AwardGain" and I wanna see if this works... 17 clicks for a 50$ game card? Let the experiment begin! ...

If there's anything that a decade and a half on the internet has taught me, it's that the world is full of cynicism. Misery loves company and stories that make us lose our faith in humanity are everywhere. So why not share something uplifting today? By that, I don't mean something necessarily religious or just a quote from some random philosopher. Share a story that's out of the ordinary, whether it's in the news or direct from someone in your life. Here's my ex ...

YES, TODAY IS CAPS LOCK DAY. LET US CELEBRATE THIS DAY BY SHOUTING AT EACH OTHER!

on drawception, ok. Does anyone else play Drawception? It's a brilliant concept and almost always results in hilarity.

This is news to me, but it was apparently known for a while that Bandai Entertainment was scaling down it's publishing activities. We now know that they'll completely stop printing any of the anime and manga series they're currently responsible for by the end of this month. They published a lot of popular series over the years, such as Code Geass, Gurren Lagann, Lucky Star, Gundam and Cowboy Bebop.

Anyone familiar with their catalogue would like to offer suggestions on seri ...

HOUSTON — A warp drive to achieve faster-than-light travel — a concept popularized in television's Star Trek — may not be as unrealistic as once thought, scientists say.

A warp drive would manipulate space-time itself to move a starship, taking advantage of a loophole in the laws of physics that prevent anything from moving faster than light. A concept for a real-life warp drive was suggested in 1994 by Mexican physicist Miguel Alcubierre; however, subsequent calculations ...

Given it's popularity, surely I'm not the only one who watches this show? I mean, especially since I hardly ever watch any kind of TV ever.

For those who DON'T, it's a story about a high school chemistry teacher who, after learning he has developed a severe case of lung cancer, turns to making crystal meth to secure his family's financial needs after he's gone. It's an amazing show currently in a mid-season hiatus. I BELIEVE all of the episodes sans t ...

It will come out February 11th this year in Japan.

I will be going to view it at a pre-release viewing next week at the International Film Festival in Rotterdam. :D

So recently I lost access to my NVIDIA control panel that I eventually fixed by disabling onboard graphics so my computer could rely on the graphics card I had installed. This came with a price, as those onboard graphics was what allowed my computer to work with my HDTV. I have since fixed that by getting a DVI-to-HDMI adapter so my TV can hook up to the graphics card directly.

Now, somehow, during that timeframe when I wasn't using the computer until I got that part, my computer a ...

Well, this seems significant in the developments of the field of particle physics, at least!
