The future of Dungeons & Dragons

Amazing bird swarm created by 300,000 starlings

videosiftbannedme says...

"As above, so below".
As many of you already know, if you look at the patterns found in nature, they are repetitive, in both grand scale and small. These birds form the same chaotic patterns that gaseous clouds of dust form out in space, albeit the birds are much more sped up. Or maybe they exhibit the same behavior as super-heated plasma.

Another example, I was eating a picnic once and had a sandwich with poppy seeds all over the bun. By the time I had finished, there was a large number of poppy seeds that had fallen off onto my white paper plate. I noticed that they had fallen into such a pattern, black seeds on white paper plate, that if you had inverted the colors, you would have had the random cascades and invariable strings that stars form in the night sky. With each shake of the plate, I was able to recreate random, chaotic strings of seeds, which continued to look like an inverted picture of the heavens.

This is also why I believe the universe will not end with a "Big Crunch", and also will not conceivably keep expanding forever. Just like any explosion found in nature, it is always the "fireball" expanding into space that is already there. I believe that on a very simple scale, our universe is just an explosion, rapidly expanding and thinning out into an already existing medium (dark matter?). We won't collapse, and we won't keep expanding. We'll just eventually thin out and cool down enough that the universe will filter out into the background. One could ponder the question, "What is beyond the edge of the universe?" but it could very well be a fruitless question. There has always been something on the other side of the hill, ocean, sky, solar system. Who says that has to stop when we reach the edge of our universe? What is beyond the medium we are expanding into?

Anyway, cool birds.

Several people undoubtedly died.


Indeed. I know that the guy in the truck that drove down the hill between the two bridges died... the video here cut out before the huge fireball erupted from the wreckage.

If I remember correctly, he had a seizure or went unconscious because of a diabetic situation.

Jesus Nukes The Earth with Fireballs

Why is it that whenever there's a depiction of Armageddon, they ALWAYS show New York City getting blown to shit? Why can't they show Mitchell, South Dakota getting blowed up? Surely the sight of the mighty Corn Palace going up in flames would strike fear in the heart of the most hardened atheist.


Why do they have to show ANYWHERE in the USA? I mean really... it's as if Everything happens just in the US.

Which, if it's Armageddon, is fine by me, it can be confined to the US...

Jesus Nukes The Earth with Fireballs

>> ^bamdrew:
looks like its all boring white people in Heaven... I think I'll pass

That's usually how heaven is portrayed. Wouldn't want any "color'ds" playing that loud bass music on the cloud above you. What I don't get is they get to "...rule with him, from heaven" What are they gonna rule? Some fucked up planet that he just destroyed?

"He has a special place full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry for ever and ever ´til the end of time...but he loves you."

He loves you... and he needs money! He's all-knowing and all-powerful but somehow, he just can't handle money.

Scene from Watchmen - Nite Owl and Silk Spectre

budzos says...

Yeah I remember the awesome part in Watchmen where Silk Spectre outran a fireball. Too cool. It's also great to finally see these sequences with constant pounding music. Because otherwise how will we know we're supposed to find it exciting? Because that's the point of Watchmen... it's an exciting action adventure, because after all, it's a comic book.

Street fighter 4- Guile Combo video

14087 says...

Street fighter created (?) a really interesting dynamic with charging moves vs. arc-motion specials. In most games the difference between characters is completely cosmetic, or a simple trade off of speed vs. power (or between two other attributes). Buffering charges in the heat of a "real world" match (as opposed to these practice sessions) is very different from the deciding weather or not twitching out a fireball at the last moment is worth the risk of the recovery time.
