  1. It's easy. Just corrupt the wish of the person who posted before you, and then make you're own wish.

     

    For example....

     

    Person A: I wish for a million dollars.

     

    Person B: Granted, but it's Monopoly money.

    I wish for immortality.

     

    Person C: Granted, but everyone and everything else dies, and you're stuck for all eternity all alone.

    I wish for a cup of coffee.

     

    Person D: Granted, but...

     

    Okay, you get the picture. To start off...

     

    I wish for a new car.


  2. I think judging a person in general is a nasty idea. Assuming can get you into a lot of trouble. 

     

    Especially on the net. The screen name thing has gotten me in trouble. Seems noone realizes my name is supposed to be an Ironic gesture. But people thinks its "cute" UGH yuck

    Oh, I don't mean judging them as in looking at the user name and automatically assuming they're a jerk or something. I mean seeing someone how uses a screen-name that's the name of a popular TV character and assuming they're going to act like that character.

     

    Kinda dumb, I know, but I catch myself doing it now and then.


  3. I find that sometime I do. No in a bad way, mind you. SOmetimes, when someone uses a Trek character's name, I expect them to act like the character. Or if someone's name is a fantasy or mythological reference, I tend to expect them to act like what their user name says.


  4. Hey everyone!!!!  I know nothing about computer animation either.  I actually like 2d better than 3d animation.  I am in the process of writing the story down that has been in my head for awhile.  I know nothing about script writing so I am looking for someone that knows anything about scripts and I am also looking for someone to help with the technology terms.

    It's pretty easy, doing a basic script. Just write the character's name, followed by what they say. If something happens in between lines, describe it. If something happens during a line, put it in paranthesis. Actually, put all events in parenthesis. For example...

     

    Rehma (looking up): That conduit isn't going to hold!

     

    (Conduit sparks.)

     

    Anne: If we don't do something about it, this whole deck will be destroyed! We've (conduit sparks) ... got to fix it!

     

    Or you could take a look at some scripts for Trek episodes...

     

    Check this link out. You will see links for the scripts of every episode of TNG and DS9, several episodes of Voyager, one of Enterprise, and all the movies. Maybe they will help you.


  5. I'll be going to a party and getting wasted most likely.

    Isn't the reason for the contest because Wonka is getting old and wants someone who will run the factory the way he wants when he's gone? Depps Wonka doesn't look old at all, he appears to be a predator using the contest as an excuse to be near children.

     

    :unsure: :wow: B)

     

    That is indeed the funniest thing I've heard in quite a while. :P

    The Willy Wonka I grew up with wasn't really much like the Roald Dahl book at all...

     

    Roald Dahl wrote that book?! All I remember from him is something about chickens in Hoboken... And the BFG (Big Friendly Guy).


  7. This is one of my favorite songs...

     

    Winterborn (This Sacrifice) - The Crüxshadows

     

    Dry your eyes and quietly bear this pain with pride

    For heaven shall remember the silent and the brave

    And promise me, they will never see, the fear within our eyes

    We will give strength to those who still remain

     

    So bury fear for fate draws near and hide the signs of pain

    With noble acts, the bravest souls endure the heart's remains

    Discard regret, that in this debt a better world is made

    That children of a newer day might remember, and avoid our fate.

     

    And in the fury of this darkest hour we will be your light

    You've asked me for my sacrifice and I am Winter born

    Without denying, a faith is come that I have never known

    I hear the angels call my name and I am Winter born

     

    Hold your head up high-for there is no greater love

    Think of the faces of the people you defend

    And promise me, they will never see the tears within our eyes

    Although we are men with mortal sins, angels never cry

     

    So bury fear for fate draws near and hide the signs of pain

    With noble acts, the bravest souls endure the heart's remains

    Discard regret, that in this debt a better world is made

    That children of a newer day might remember, and avoid our fate.

     

    And in the fury of this darkest hour we will be your light

    You've asked me for my sacrifice and I am Winter born

    Without denying, a faith in God that I have never known

    I hear the angels call my name and I am Winter born

     

    And in the fury of this darkest hour

    I will be your light

    A lifetime for this destiny

    For I am Winter born

    And in this moment...

    I will not run, it is my place to stand

    We few shall carry hope

    Within our bloodied hands

     

    And in our Dying

    We're more alive-than we have ever been

    I've lived for these few seconds

    For I am Winter born

     

    And in the fury of this darkest hour

    We will be the light

    You've asked me for my sacrifice

    And I am Winter born

    Without denying, a faith in man

    That I have never known

    I hear the angels call my name

    And I am Winter born

     

    Within this moment now

    I am for you, though better men have failed

    I will give my life for love

    For I am Winter born

     

    And in my dying I'm more alive, than I have ever been

    I will make this sacrifice for I am Winter born

     

    ............

     

    If you want to hear a sample of the song, you can hear it on the front page of their website, http://www.cruxshadows.com/. There's a music player that has multiple song samples. You can go through it until you find this song. Or just listen to the other samples as well.

    "But":

    That's sort of the opposite,

    "Not this but that".

    And then there's "or":

    O-R, when you have a choice like

    "This or that".

    "And", "but", and "or",

    Get you pretty far.
