| PikachuMaxwell 05/04/17 4:26:33 PM #6 | Absolute Monarchy (e.g. Saudi Arabia): Conservative in the sense that authoritarianism is involved.

| PikachuMaxwell 05/04/17 4:23:41 PM #1 | I've heard some people claim the opening act was the best, and looking back at it, I might have to agree. I'm in the middle of another Final Fantasy VII playthrough, and while I will finish the game again soon I've had to resist the temptation to start over again.... --- Super Smash Bros. for Wii U mains: http://i.imgur.com/vLFcGb2.png Nintendo Network Name: JohnJohn |
| Topic | Is it odd transferring from Engineering to Physics? |
| PikachuMaxwell 05/04/17 12:23:03 PM #1 | I started out as a Computer Engineer, but I wasn't doing well. So I transferred to Electrical Engineering. I didn't do good either. I decided to go into Physics with the idea that it would be more interesting - and maybe that would boost my grades. They actually accepted me into the program. I stuck with it and was able to get my degree, although I had a low GPA. --- Super Smash Bros. for Wii U mains: http://i.imgur.com/vLFcGb2.png Nintendo Network Name: JohnJohn |

| PikachuMaxwell 05/02/17 2:53:08 PM #1 | Occasionally I go to bars and nightclubs, but I don't drink alcohol. I dance if there is an open dance floor. If not, I enjoy watching sports with other people. --- Super Smash Bros. for Wii U mains: http://i.imgur.com/vLFcGb2.png Nintendo Network Name: JohnJohn |
| Topic | C/D: Vegas is overrated as hell |
| PikachuMaxwell 05/02/17 2:45:56 PM #35 | In between. As others have said, if you're going there for gambling and beer there are places near your hometown that are way less expensive. Also, after partying for days it can get tiring. However, I don't really drink or gamble, and yet I still love Vegas. I like being around the visitors, walking around the resorts, and dancing in some of the bars and nightclubs. --- Super Smash Bros. for Wii U mains: http://i.imgur.com/vLFcGb2.png Nintendo Network Name: JohnJohn |
| Topic | Did you attend a "party school"? |
| PikachuMaxwell 05/02/17 2:04:59 PM #1 | My university was far from a party school - it was mostly a commuter school (although it did have dorms). There was like only one bar in the whole campus. Not a lot of places to hang out and chill. And while there were quite a few female students, the student population was mostly male. --- Super Smash Bros. for Wii U mains: http://i.imgur.com/vLFcGb2.png Nintendo Network Name: JohnJohn |

| Topic | Competitive Gaming - A great equalizer? (About Racial Diversity) |
| PikachuMaxwell 05/01/17 7:23:41 PM #7 | Lorenzo_2003 posted... I don't think the age groups are diverse, if we are speaking of competitive (i.e. tournament style with prize money) gaming. Yes, you get some players who are fairly young, but the core group of competitive gamers is probably between 15-25. I've been to tourneys where sponsors discouraged tourney organizers from registering pre-teens because of the ESRB ratings on games like Mortal Kombat and Call of Duty, for example. Of course, we also hardly ever see anyone in the mid-thirties and up. I'm not talking about old people winning tourneys, I mean just registering and playing. Gaming companies do not market or design games for older demographics. You make interesting points about age and disability. Although regarding age, maybe mental ability (such as judgement and reflexes) has something to do with it? Younger players minds' are still developing, and older players may not have fast reflexes as they had in their prime. This is just speculation, though. But the demographics argument makes sense. --- Super Smash Bros. for Wii U mains: http://i.imgur.com/vLFcGb2.png Nintendo Network Name: JohnJohn |

| Topic | Competitive Gaming - A great equalizer? (About Racial Diversity) |
| PikachuMaxwell 05/01/17 6:42:03 PM #1 | In our diverse world we sometimes complain about the lack of diversity in certain areas (e.g. Hollywood is too white, the NFL and NBA are too black, Asians are over-represented in Academics, etc.) I do think it's a noteworthy observation - although whether it is a big issue is another topic. But after attending the EVO tournament for the past two years and observing Fighting Game communities, I noticed that the crowd was pretty diverse (albeit mostly male gamers, though.) There's all kinds of gamers - white, black, Hispanic, Asian, etc. I was pretty impressed and not only were the attendees diverse, they all got along pretty well. There was camaraderie among all gamers and it was nice to see. So now, questions for the discussion: -Aside from the lack of female gamers, do you agree that the gaming community is the most diverse community out there? -If so, why is the gaming community diverse compared to other communities? There many be other questions I'd like to ask, but I'll see how the discussion goes first. --- Super Smash Bros. for Wii U mains: http://i.imgur.com/vLFcGb2.png Nintendo Network Name: JohnJohn |

| PikachuMaxwell 05/01/17 7:50:46 AM #1 | ...how do you feel about the U.S. being the sole superpower? I do think the U.S. is the sole superpower on Earth. It's good that a democratic country is the most powerful but still I think the world is "unbalanced"...I dunno. --- Super Smash Bros. for Wii U mains: http://i.imgur.com/vLFcGb2.png Nintendo Network Name: JohnJohn |

| Topic | Well, she failed my "Turing Test"... |
| PikachuMaxwell 04/28/17 12:03:03 PM #6 | Eerieka posted... I got a call from a robot female that 'accidentally' dropped her headpiece (or whatever callers use. All I know is she dropped something, then said 'whoops, give me a sec...' ). Because of that, I thought she was a real person, but it became clear it was a robot when she didn't respond to anything I said. That little ploy was clever, but also incredibly deceitful. Shame on whoever thought that was a good idea. Haha...I got a call like that, too! --- Super Smash Bros. for Wii U mains: http://i.imgur.com/vLFcGb2.png Nintendo Network Name: JohnJohn |

| Topic | How would you describe your spiritual beliefs and how have they changed... |
| PikachuMaxwell 04/28/17 11:33:25 AM #1 | ...throughout your life? I would say that I somewhat believe in supernatural forces such as an omnipotent God, karma, and stuff like that but I'm also skeptical as well. I was afraid of my death as well as the death of my loved ones so I tried to fully believe in the afterlife, but as I became more...accepting of the fact that things die, the afterlife was not that important for me. I still somewhat believe in life after death, but not totally convinced that it is real. Overall I'd say I'm somewhat spiritual throughout my life, but skeptical of such supernatural things as well. --- Super Smash Bros. for Wii U mains: http://i.imgur.com/vLFcGb2.png Nintendo Network Name: JohnJohn |
| Topic | Well, she failed my "Turing Test"... |
| PikachuMaxwell 04/28/17 11:06:17 AM #1 | Today, I picked up a phone from a "wireless caller" and answered it. The voice on the other end seemed to be a genuine human female voice calling about health insurance. But then she asked about whether I have health insurance. I said "I was covered". She replied "I didn't get the question" and asked whether I had health insurance again. I said it more clearly that "I'm already covered." But then she repeated what she said earlier exactly as she said it before. It was then I realized I was dealing with a "robo" caller and not a human. tl;dr: I guess I'm proud of the fact I was able to tell that a telemarketer was a recording rather than a live human. The robo-caller failed my "Turing Test" for self-awareness. --- Super Smash Bros. for Wii U mains: http://i.imgur.com/vLFcGb2.png Nintendo Network Name: JohnJohn |
| Topic | Do heroes exist because of villains, or do villains exist because of heroes? |
| PikachuMaxwell 04/28/17 9:53:54 AM #17 | I'd say the first part of your question is more accurate.
