Heliomance's Everchanging Thread Title Random Banter #167

[Feytalist]

It's yellow and curved.

Oh, you mean the bananananananananana (dak'ry)?

I used to eat fruit pips and all, no worries. Then I started thinking about what I do, and now it grosses me out. So I just chuck it all in a blender.

Mmmm smoothie.

Dear god that sounds terrible. How can the world progress if all the villians are either redeamed or stay active? It's...it's like an MMO world!

An MMO world? I thought those were all about absolute good and evil and mindlessly killing everything in your way.

Also, it's not like the whole plot is torn apart by it, but whenever a villian is captured, you get a feeling of deja vú, and the end/aftermath of every climactic final battle gets kind of predictable...

One way to tell if a watermelon is good (not a foolproof method) is to look at the splotch on it. You know, that big white-or yellow splotch on one side? That's where the watermelon touched the ground while it was growing on the vine. The closer it is to a deep yellow instead of white, the longer the watermelon spent ripening on the vine, and the sweeter it is (usually).

That's... actually really good to know. I used to just sorta knock on them with an ear pressed to it to see how liquid it sounded inside. >.>

Yay! I'm helpful!

Also, cantaloupes or honeydew melons (can't remember which) can be tested by pressing a finger on the end of it opposite the stem. It should give a little, but not too much, and should not be permanantly deformed by it (it should spring back).

So yellow watermelons=good? Nice to know. What about pumpkins?

Not yellow. I don't know how it is for yellow watermelon. I'm talking about the big splotch on one side of a normal green one.

No idea about pumpkin.

You mean a bananWe do not discuss bananas in public. Go back to your fun, citizen.

Ok, admitidly I could of explained the MMO thing better. Basically, when you encounter a villian that our heroes cannot redeam and won't kill, they can continue to just do what they always do. In a sense it is like an MMO, where no matter how many times to kill the Lich King, he's still around to be killed again and again and again.

And yha, I guess I sort of exagerated how bad it was .

Accursed remodeling... I can't sleep in my dad's office on campus, I can't sleep in the 4th floor of one of the libraries with the couches because of remodeling, I can't sleep on the first floor of another because of too many people and it was remodeled. It's very frustrating for the guy who likes to sleep a lot.

I love that part of MMOs! If that didn't happen, how could you get the l33t drops? WoW cataclysm is hilarious. Some quests still say "I will tell (old leader who isn't leader anymore) about your deeds." Said old leader is on another plane and probably doesn't have time for a chat with a level 13 npc. The other faction has guys who are going to tell a leader who was turned to stone that you killed 5 kobolds.

I can understand the ability to replay missions, but I still think a world should change.

Well, you get a title. Making the perception of the world change so that roleplayer who was 5 levels behind you sees this massive "I am dragon lord. Gratz!" ceremony is mean to the strange roleplayer people.
There is some phasing stuff in the Death Knight starting area, and you can see other guys there, but I think they need to be in the same stage of the phasing. So seperate perception does kinda exist. I guess it could work if a MMO company decided to spend a couple months finding a way to make it work well, but then they wouldn't be creating new content and all the hardcore raiders would whine about no content. And then they will complain that the new content is terrible, or recycled, even though they were complaining about no heroic version of old dungeon a few months ago...

I actually know nothing about WoW so I'm not sure what you're getting at.

However, I will say that a world should change, but in a way that newer players don't SEE the changes untill they've done the missions themselves.

I barely know about it either, I barely just got back into it and it is stealing my time away.

This is hard to do when the company needs new content that is demanding so it can keep the high level people busy. I agree that this would be wonderful, but seems like alot of work to appease a relatively small group. I think WoW has the seperate changes thing in the big treemountain place, but I seriously have no real clue.

Stealing mine too

They have phasing in a few places. They had it during Wrath in Icecrown if I remember right. The treemountain too.

Oh god guys. So much paper. So many forms. So much confusing.

ION: I thought fall was supposed to be a time of flame colored trees and a sharpness in the air that braced the mind and spirit. Not limp brown leaves on the ground with slugs underneath and gray fog every morning do dense you can barely see the very decidedly green pine trees all over the place. Why can't the Pacific Northwest have nice winters?

Confuddlation, COMMENCE!

Because you live in Oregon/Washington area??? Didn't know that. But its probably because you live in a place with pine trees.

Pine Trees are immune to Fall. It's a thing they do.

And sometimes fall can be elegent. Sometimes it is not.

Yes, but the trees that aren't pine and evergreens are all brown and wet, not flame colored and crackly. Why, why WHY?!?!

Yes, but why does my entire area seem to be anti traditional fall?

I've never had an elegant one yet.

ION: Sweeney pondered and Sweeney planned, like a perfect machine he planned...

[Eon]

Because it's saving up for one amazing Fall for you!

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

Because you need to come to Ontario. We get the best falls. Golden, bright red maples!

[Eon]

I don't know, we get pretty nice falls here. I can trip so gracefully. Oh, and all the ice makes it happen so often.

[MoonCat]

But, I might be moving next year... Before fall...

Lucky bastard. I bet you're tall too.

[Eon]

Then hope the new place has pretty Falls!

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

Lucky bastard. I bet you're tall too.

Six feet tall, yes. Why do you ask?

[LaZodiac]

Look on the bright side guys. My Fall is literally one day. One day everything is lush and green. Wake up, trees are dead. Morning after that, hope you like snow!

Our seasons are weird. We either have a Fall from September to the beginning of December, or sometimes we get a few days of Fall and there's a lot of snow on the ground by October.

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

My falls are pretty damn ordinary. Almost stereotypical.

[MoonCat]

Then hope the new place has pretty Falls!

It's a city with rain for weather. nothing else. Even Seattle has changes in weather sometimes. and I live in the rainshadow, so I am so not used to friggin' rain all of the time!

Six feet tall, yes. Why do you ask?

You're fourteen inches taller than me, that's why. Tall bastard.

I like snow! It's better than rain at least.

Where are you?
