Reactionary Chatter X: FIGHT THE FUTURE

[RedAnarchist]

New thread. Also, I see what I did there.

[Robert]

I do too and thank you for it. It was big of you to leave it that way. Thanks.

I hope I don't get whacked for quoting from the last chatter thread:


I think in a few years from now they are going to have to send Captain Benjamin Willar to find Lieut. Ferret- he'll go off the rails in some jungle somewhere and start writing poetry and collecting old Time magazines... I would have thanked this post for its originality, but I can't cause I've got the Lt.'s back here, as he will cover mine when the Revolution gets bloody.

Either way I am pretty certain ComradeMan is a poet or a savant or ... something heavy. "Collecting old Time magazines?" :lol:

"In some jungle somewhere
With an air ... debonair,
Reminiscing,
Of Sonny and Cher."

Where's Lieut. Ferret?

Where's Lieut. Ferret?

Why do you ask?

[ComradeMan]

Why do you ask?

I like to know where he is, otherwise he could be creeping up behind me with a commando knife between his teeth hellbent of freeing the world of the red peril....:laugh:

[Lt. Ferret]

i was on base all morning getting some inventory done with my platoon, had to do an AAR of the field exercise we did, now im at home filling out a report, cruising revleft, and gonna change into decent god fearing american clothes and go to buffalo wild wings with the other leuitenants to drink over priced domestic beer and watch some shitty sports i dont care about.

then im gonna come back home and play fallout new vegas til i pass out from exhaustion. :cool:

That I can admire

[#FF0000]

Fallout 3 and New Vegas suck.

[Havet]

Fallout 3 and New Vegas suck.

Stop trolling

[#FF0000]

I'm not. They were awful. New Vegas is even worse than Fallout 3. The environments are so boring that while playing it I actually started to miss Washington.

Fallout 3 is also the first game I stopped playing because it was too easy.

[Bright Banana Beard]

Mass Effect beats them, Seriously.

[#FF0000]

I hated Mass Effect too.

Actually not so much. I thought the story was good and thought it had a lot of promise but the combat was boring and the planet exploring thing wasn't all that fleshed out at all.

Drive around in a desert until you find a space Winnebago and shoot things in it.

[Robert]

Love dude, what video games do you like? :(

[#FF0000]

Red Dead Redemption was good but had a lot of extra shit that could have been cut out (see: those fucking night watch missions with that stupid fucking dog).

Super Street Fighter IV was one of the few videogames I've spent more than $20 for without regretting it a single bit.

But my favorite games of all time are mostly on the PC. Civilization, STALKER, Team Fortress 2, the Total War series, and the myriad of excellent indie games like Minecraft and Dwarf Fortress.

So yeah.

EDIT: Also ARMA 2 and Men Of War are two of the best games ever made.

[Havet]

I'm sure Bioshock Infinite will be awesome

[ComradeMan]

I have a feeling BudGuy will be joining us here soon for some reason.... shall we set out a welcoming committee? :laugh:

More annoying advertisements I see on this website. In fact, I think this whole thread could just be made up of users complaining about these annoying ads at this point.

i got a reprimand earlier for making a thread about these and just filling the posts with ads i saw. i suppose i deserved it for spamming up my own thread, but yeah its a real nuisance.

I remember way way back when we had these ads, we kept them above that first bar there, over the "Articles" and "wiki" section there. It was much nicer.

Just finished watching this incredible anime series called Last Exile.

http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/4286/lastexile1521024.jpg

It was...incredible. It felt so touching that I could literally cry at the end. I really do enjoy every aspect of it: the vanships, Sylvanna of the Genocide, Aru, the navis, everything. After watching it, all I could wish for was to fly towards the horizon on board Claus' vanship, feeling the wind in the face while doing an Immelman turn. Very good series, a must see for every steampunk/dieselpunk/retro-futurism fan!!!

[#FF0000]

Are you a big fan of anime, Hayet? Because I've had a lot of people say OH OH WATCH THIS ANIME IT IS AMAZING and then I find I don't really enjoy it because it's got a lot of things that really only appeal to people who watch anime, if that makes sense.

Like Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagan (which is a very popular series and not some weird niche shit). It was cool with the robots and the PIERCE THE HEAVENS stuff and all but there were things that I couldn't get past so it ruined it for me.

Like the fact that this character:

IS FOURTEEN YEARS OLD

Not really. I rarely watch anything with cartoons. Only anime stuff I watch is that series and a couple of post-apocalyptic movies, as well cyberpunk stuff like AKIRA.


What the christ anime producers.

Unfortunately it seems that Japan has been swallowed by its own demand of consumerism. And also weird fetiches. Some cartoons are just weird and almost touching the pedophilia sphere.

haha. You know what's weird? Thatcherpunk. A friend of mine pioneered it. Its basically a post-nuclear Britain during the 80s. Example. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/When_the_Wind_Blows_(film))

What's really cool (going back to reality for a bit) is that in the future people will be drawn to stuff like ecopunk, as retro-futurism, which is currently our futurist source of material ("dude, those folks back from the early 21st century thought we would actually have solar panels on everyone's homes!")

[Jazzratt]

I remember, a few years ago now, I first discovered what "steampunk" was and I thought 'ooh this stuff looks cool'. Then I find out what just about everyone else in the world who liked steampunk was like and decided "fuck 'em". Jesus christ, maybe it's just the ones in the UK and US (especially the US, because they can fuck everything up) but they introduced me to the entirely new feeling of wishing to beat someone to death with their own valve. I've only ever seen Havet talk about dieselpunk and he seems more normal than the average one* but anything that draws from a similar pool of people but is even more obscure is bound to include a more distilled version of the wankers from the larger movement.

It's similar to the reason I'm hesitant to get involved in LARPing. Apart from everything (http://www.criticalmiss.com/issue2/lrp1.html)else (http://www.criticalmiss.com/issue6/moreliveaction1.html)a five minute chat with the average LARP enthusiast will send you screaming and tumbling over the edge of sanity in sheer bloody annoyance. What strikes me as really unfortunmate with that though is that its people who have an essentially social hobby who are that obnoxious - that takes true dedication to the art of pissing off every half-way normal person near you.

*This isn't to say that Havet's normal. He likes the free market which makes anyone a bit of a suspicious mentalist in my books but that just illustrates how irritating and subnormal the people attracted by steampunk are.

Damn, back where im from nobody ever heard of it. I suppose the more something becomes mainstream the less people will like it as it starts to become annoying.

As far as I am able to judge, both steampunk and dieselpunk serve no practical purpose other than to allow artists to express themselves differently and in new ways.

A good thing about the whole steampunk is that its gotten a lot more people into a diy feeling of getting their hands dirty and actually building something new.

[Ele'ill]

I was drunk the other night and I'm on the second book in the "Ice and Fire" series- right where Jon Snow is on his first range with the Nightwatch- all in black and everything- It was snowing lightly in the book and it's generally a cold environment where they're at and it's of course raining and cold in Portland here and I thought- with this outfit I'm wearing right now- I sort of look like the character from 'Thief' (the video game)-

And so basically I'm saving up for a sword and mail now.







and a horse







LARPing isn't real enough for me- I'm going to Range on horseback through downtown Portland :lol:


(This is a joke and I am not going to get a horse and do that- just for those lurkers who read but rarely post- we know who you are :))

[Jazzratt]

WTF is Larping?:blushing: Live Action Role Play????? Yep, that's the one.


Damn, back where im from nobody ever heard of it. I suppose the more something becomes mainstream the less people will like it as it starts to become annoying. The internet was soaked in it plus my friends and I are all on the geeky side (even the guy that plays football).


As far as I am able to judge, both steampunk and dieselpunk serve no practical purpose other than to allow artists to express themselves differently and in new ways. You're lucky then. I've found a lot of people treat it as a subculture. That and the people attracted to the various bits of steampunk media (the steampunk-inspired bands and steampunk LARPs are particularly bad) as fans (or players in the LARP case) rather than creators just seem to be as described. Most artists and the like are quite cool really.


A good thing about the whole steampunk is that its gotten a lot more people into a diy feeling of getting their hands dirty and actually building something new. For every one that creates something worthwhile 12 more will weld cogs to their (completely unecessary) goggles. Either that or affect a great love for oldschool steam engineering without being able to describe a single component on a steam engine.

Nope, I actually got another job recently- construction type work- but I'm still applying to places by using this electronic system called email. So I also use what's often called 'the internet' to visit several of my current favorite 'websites' to break up the tedium.

I figure this is better than tossing hand grenades at farmer's livestock, raping women and torturing trialless innocents in my free time. I've always bettered my life when I could. It also feels good to identify with my class camp- as opposed to being a class traitor.

Hello commies and capsters.

I'm on my way to Abbeville LA to eat jumbo select boiled crabs. I called to make reservations. "You got crabs?" I asked. Lady says "yeah." I say "Well, I'm comin' anyway."

That's a joke, but I really am going to Abbeville to eat boiled crabs today.

Yeah- an unsustainable industry thats destroying the planet- the substance itself is harmful for your body as well.

The resistance isn't the issue- the tactics and organizing process is.

[Ele'ill]

So I have a question that might benefit some of the newer users in here and I don't feel like asking this in the Committed User forum because it seems to be more of a troll festival than anything else (in the thread where it's like a chit-chat environment- anyways-

I have a few friends that live here in PDX who also use this forum- albeit occasionally- and I have logged in from their fairly static IP address. If they log in after I have is this going to create a problem with the sock-puppet detector?

If for no other reason I'd like to give a headsup- because the mods of this section tend to also be fairly involved in other things going on elsewhere on the forum.


Thanks.

C21 Revolutionary Command is preparing a response- rest assured!

[Ele'ill]

I advocate being healthy to the best of one's ability- I see drugs as being a 'problem' for a variety of reasons and I often chose sobriety over intoxication in the same way that I eat healthy rather than unhealthy.

The difference in the two discussions is that from what I gathered you were advocating a boycott as a revolutionary tactic where as I see that as being ineffective and extremely time consuming.

There are not a lot of leftists that would do tons of drugs (the majority of them don't) in the same way that many leftists wouldn't feel comfortable walking into a Mcdonalds, Starbucks or Burger King- or a Gap/Nike/Guess outlet.

We were differing in our approach to the conflict rather than the intent.



My original (as in a while ago) stance on this issue is if you can avoid such stores- avoid them- as I would advocate sobriety because drugs CAN cause issues in some people as I think I mentioned in a thread about a month ago.

In regards to combating the cartels- you need to spend a lot of time organizing and agitating against Capitalism which allows such corruption as child labor, cartels, agribusiness violations- etc.. simply not spending your money there isn't effective as a tactic for massive social or political change.


While I advocate every activist not supporting what they're fighting with their hard earned dollars- it's their choice.

I don't think this is revolutionary- it's just something that should come automatically and perhaps I wasn't as clear as I should have been

I don't want to recreate that thread- I mean I really really don't. I am doing nothing more than restating some things- you don't have to respond because I likely already know your response- and that isn't a slight.

This is what I had this weekend in Abbeville: It's a bit of work extracting the meat from the shell, but worth it and fun. I cut the ___ out of the meaty part of my guitar picking thumb, but I'll recover quicker than the crabs will.

Reuters – Mon Nov 1, 9:57 am ET (Reuters) – British police said it had responded on Monday to a frantic call from the wife of Amir Ezreddin, proprietor of "Kebabs 'R Us" in Rutland County. Preliminary reports indicate that an irate young male threw a brick through the front window, ran in, leaped over the counter and attempted to strangle Mr. Ezreddin. Customers in the store managed to subdue the subject, by then screaming incoherently, and held him down as Mrs. Ezreddin phoned police. "Oh yes, we know him. He's always been the nicest young man. I can't imagine what's got into him," she said through tears.

Witness Jeremy Wright gave a statement to police obtained by this service. "I was one of the first to reach him. I kept asking him what the problem was. He just spat at me, wild-like, see? kicking and screaming something about eels, I think it was. 'Feed me eels, will he!?!? I'll f---ing kill 'im, the fat bleedin' f--k!!' He got this insane idea somewhere that Amir cooks eels and passes 'em off as meat. Amir would never do that. At least I don't think he would. Maybe to Yanks, but not to us regulars."

A police spokesman advised that the suspect was referred to hospital where he was tranquilized and strapped to his bed. Charges of criminal mischief and simple battery are pending.

Oh and there is nowhere better for stout, bitter, ale, whisky or whiskey.

I don't mean to come off as a food nationalist (and indeed I am not, I am very much an internationalist when it comes to ramming the culinary produce of every nation down my gullet) but it's fucking irritating to listen to the endless "oh ho ho the british can't cook" bollocks that comes from places like america or continental europe. Especially as it's so often an excuse to bash simple, wholesome food in preference to poncy little meals that take hours to prepare and seconds to eat.

- It doesn't surprise me- the food is always going to be potentially better when produced in the home culture. Chinese restaurants here are pretty terrible compared to the ones in London- in my opinion.

-We have black puddings (sanguinaccio) and so do the French, That doesn't surprise me, but I still think of them as english quisine.
kebab is Turkish, The stonner is glaswegian.

the curry dishes were adaptations of Indian food, So, they were invented in britain by british citizens - it's not just white people that make our rich and varied cuisine.

faggots???? A type of highly delicious meatball (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faggot_%28food%29).

stilton is the same/similar to gorgonzola, cheddar is like provolone, I think stilton is superior to gorgonzola. I've never had provolone.

jellied eels are revolting- I tried them in London, You're wrong and you know you are.

Irish stew- is that British? LOL!!! It was developed on the British isles.

Not sure about some of the others but the beers and whiskies are good too- but 3,500 years of wine tradition is good as well! I'm not denigrating your wine, I neck enough of the stuff enough. You also have us bang to rights on lager - our flagship lager is Carling and I wouldn't let a dog drink it.


-I'm only pulling your leg.....!:lol: LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Americans can hardly talk about food either- they ruined the pizza. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:lol: They ruined food forever. They made a doughnut burger for fuck's sake.


-Most real Italian food is not poncy little meals that take hours to prepare- in fact most Italian homefood is quite simple but I do think we have some better eating habits- we drink water more than people in Britain seem to and we always eat fruit at the end of a meal. I was just taking the piss. Although it's probably true that italians have better eating habits, especially compared to the british; we're almost as big as the americans and we've less space to fit into.

[Jazzratt]

"fuck all to do with ..." I'd give my left nut if I could cuss like that.:lol:

Why did you google it after i defined it for you? Didn't you trust me?:crying:

on edit: just saw this:

What the hell does "as usual" mean? I only lie sporadically! I trust you, I mainly wanted a picture of one. As for the "as usual" comment, I meant that whenever I google emek it turns up nothing kebab related (apart from a 'restaurant' in London called emek kebabs).

I rest my case with those eels...!

[Robert]

I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, but we have no French representative on OI to weigh on on these culinary issues. I've lived there some and am half French, if the Cajun peasant farmer variety, so I will have to do for the moment:

French food is to die for. Yes, they serve cold, burnt pizzas on the street, but everything else, from buttered croissant to seafood soup to salade niçoise to boeuf bourgignon to foie gras to crème caramel to strawberry crepes to tarte aux pommes, are all just wonderful.

And then the wine ... Oh, my, god.

My suspicion is that the secret's in the soil. You drive through Normandy and see the biggest, prettiest, fattest, happiest cows you ever saw. They're happy because they eat rich green grass and they give off fat rich milk which yields luscious camembert and fragrant roquefort cheese to peach ice cream and crème caramel.

I love the French and I hate the French, but lord have mercy those sonsa*****es know how to eat.

[Quail]

You don't think those eels look appetising do you?

[RedAnarchist]

I had this selection of seafood earlier - squid rings, prawns and mussels. It was delicious. Those eels look disgusting, and I probably wouldn't try them.

[Jazzratt]

You don't think those eels look appetising do you? I'm fairly sure CM finds them unappetising. I on the other hand am fucking ravenous for eels now.

[Quail]

Looking at them makes me think of the smell of a fish market. Possibly one of the least appetising smells I can think of, but each to their own!

[Bright Banana Beard]

That eel dish looks gross!

I did think it was rather strange that user "penguinfoot" flamed my public profile with "Zionist dipshit" when he only joined in September, BobK was banned in February-ish and the whole Zionism controversy was back then "in the day". I questioned this but no reply and then when I went to penguinfoot's public profile I noticed some others have made suspicious comments.

Odd no?

The world is yours for you to claim.

It's the name of a flower, and also an old symbol of the revolutionary left in Germany.

This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Mz7MwwWGmM) is the song that Edelweiss quotes from in his sig. Awesome.


"An Rhein und Ruhr marschieren wir. / Für unsere Freiheit kämpfen wir! / Den Streifendienst, schlagt ihn entzwei! / Edelweiß marschiert – Achtung – die Straße frei!"

Is there any way that we can possibly remind everyone that there is a religion subsection for OI discussion of religion- rather than flooding the main area with religious threads- I'm obsessive compulsive and it appears to be very disorganized and it's been bothering me since yesterday.

We sing them in our Catholic church regularly.

[Ele'ill]

How about you two pick up the remnants of my gaming rigs and send them out here to me so I can play Guild Wars 2 when it comes out-


-Thanks

[Ele'ill]

Actually- it sucks that the sys reqs aren't going to be out until like 2011-

Who wants to guild up with me when it's released?

[Widerstand]

I've been waiting for this since it was announced. Loved GW.

[#FF0000]

Guild Wars is subscription free, isn't it?

[Ele'ill]

Guild Wars is subscription free, isn't it?


Edit- Sorry I got excited- yes, it's free to play.


I heard WoW was going to become free as well but I don't know how true that is.

[Ele'ill]

I've been waiting for this since it was announced. Loved GW.

I played the original GW up until I came out here to PDX. Got one last winter festival in before leaving forever.

Ranger/Elementist

Tons of black dye- dressed in all black with a black ranger/hunting mask :lol:

Whose streets?

[#FF0000]

I play WoW because I'm a pathetic basement dwelling manbaby neckbeard and I haven't heard anything about it becoming free to play. Whispers about it, but nothing really huge.

But yeah I might get into GW2 if it's free to play.

[Ele'ill]

I suggested in my laptop thread (I'm no longer looking for a laptop btw- I'm looking to build a gaming rig as work has become steady and I can afford internet now) that we form a revleft guild- there can be various sectarian factions within it as well.

This gives me something to look forward too.

I even quit smoking for the extra bit of money to build a decent rig.

I ultimately need it for school but you know- multi purpose is always better.

Lol.

I played GW up until Nightfall (didn't get EotN). Started with PvE, but towards the end I mostly did Guild Battles, Faction Battles and HA. Usually as Monk.

[Ele'ill]

I had a maxed W/M as well but it was towards the end of my playing the game

My main character was the R/E and I'd run people- although R/E wasn't the main running combo

I only played the original.



I'm going to play the hell out of GW 2 and probably fail some exams because of it- just like old times.

[Ele'ill]

The three of us should keep in touch for when it comes out- with most games I generally TK and annoy the piss from everyone around me but I think I can not do that with this type of game.

I've also played 'Starsiege' Tribes- the original- since it came out.

[Widerstand]

Hah, I hope have workable internet by that time ^.o

[Ele'ill]

Yeah, the main things that have stopped me from playing are evictions and such under varying circumstances. I've been able to lock down two years of solid playing at a time which was enough to keep my interest- and of course canceling internet so I could afford other things which happend once already here.

[#FF0000]

fucking christ ARMA 2 is fun.

me and my friend just went hard guerilla styles in the wilderness of Eastern Europe.

The highlights:

- Taking out a BTR-90 with a SMAW from at least 400 meters.
- Evading about 4 squads of infantry that swarmed the woods to find us.
- Stumbling upon a squad less than 50 meters away, and escaping unscathed.
- Taking out a Hind, while evading that squad we stumbled on, taking heavy fire in a field with limited (no) cover.

Shit owns.

My vinil record player stoped spinning, for no apparent reason. Any "older" people have any suggestions I might try? If it's a "cheepie" it has a big rubber band under the spinning disk turn table that goes from the motor to a track on the bottom of the disk. It sometimes falls off. Lift off the turn table plate and see. It's a simple matter to reattach.

Seriously- take the spinning disk and check that the rotors are not filled with dust, a bit of sewing machine oil might help too.
