Off Topic Playground


Recommended Posts

I am going to catch up on the soapbox thread..though I know I really shouldn't as it will likely piss me off in some way!

 

Well at least you know ahead of time

 

Probably true.

 

I wonder why you would think that? 

 

Hm, perhaps because people on the forum constantly tell me? :P

Bleargh. Could be true. :P

I like her style of fluff, and she plays amazing. My last game with her, I very nearly lost and snatched victory at the last possible moment. It was an exhilarating game. Maybe I don't like the thought that it wasn't my achievement but the easy mode ingrained in the Master.

Now we are talking. This I totally get. There are few masters I love playing. McMourning and Ramos. Both which are top tier. And are filth. I get that.

But I do also get defensive about them since for example last time I played Ramos it ended up in "if I would have played that crew I would have surely won too" from my opponent. Which to me is really sad to hear as it completely discredits all I did the whole game.

But. I am not saying you win because of Perdita. I say Perdita is filth. There is a difference and shouldn't be taken personally but keep an open mind and compare her to other masters with no personal attachment.

I guess that just means we are average opponents :P

 

I am an average player myself.  hehe

 

I'm in a really competative area though with a lot of stellar players, so I'm happy whenever I eek out a win!  (Not often)

Dita is awesome. Tell me how you like it once you finish. Always room for improvement.

The article is very well written, I had a quick glance at the other family members and have an idea of counters but they're extremely obvious so will be fighting a huge uphill battle I think

I try. That's why I admit that you are probably right about my bias.

I still think Leveticus does everything she does, only better. :D

 

and back..God, there are some idiots around!

What are cow eyes, in this context?

 

There are some German idioms in there. Cow eyes just means a big-eyed blank stare. It's usually associated with people in love, but not necessarily.

 

Please God, let brain rain from the sky! is a common exclamation, too. The slightly meaner variant is to suggest that someone looked for shelter when God did it...

 

I can read it, wish people a nice day, and order beer.

 

Useful skills.

 

Oh. My. God. 

 

It's like the words in my brain, only someone else shares them...

 

"that brain rains from the sky"

 

Farin Urlaub is the great poet of our time in my opinion. His name means "To go on vacation", by the way.

I may need to start buying new music again

 

He is one of three people who form Die Ärzte. Their most famous song is Schrei Nach Liebe (Cry for Love), which is about neo-Nazis is Germany. My favorite song is this one, though:

 

 

I'll wait a bit before translating. Maybe PD or Deluge want to try their hand?

That's what Youtube is for ;)

 

If you trust them. I should probably try that.

So far, so correct. ^_^

 

The most "German" band I know of is And One, and by "German" I mean "probably most indicative of the average German person"

 

Not sure if serious. Their lyrics are nationalist propaganda through and through.

The Soapbox thread just got Ausplosion'd :D I like that guy. He says his point as it is with no sugar coating. :D

 

True. He even makes a good point. I believe that Wyrd can make a contribution to changing society in the long run, but they cannot take blame for some asshole. I suspect that his no-sugar-coating post might not sit with Ferossa well, and further escalate the discussion, though.
