Does having seen it before count as context? I've never fully understood what the deal with it is, though. Is it supposed to be scary? Surreal? Or what?

Afrikaans is a wonderful language for singing in.

Alas, I am restricted to a large collection of wooden swords, one steel prop sword, a bow (with arrows), and a full suit of armour. Hint: only one of those is useful for rapid self-defense, although some of the wooden swords are actually wicked sharp.

Oh, god. Having candles on the table, and you tip them over!
You light your cigar from the candle. Then your country vanishes in a mushroom cloud.

Five second bursts of hysterical laughter and shouting are among the only things that really actually scare me.

Making subtle changes to rooms or doing things that shouldn't be possible within the rules as the player understands them is pretty freaky too. One of the more surreal and somewhat freaky experiences I've ever had in a game was exploring a stronghold (in unmodded Minecraft. Not a horror game at all) where there were blocks missing, but with ladders and doors placed there anyway. Sections of the floor would disappear and reappear at random, and the whole game was running at ~4fps. If it had played a "Horrified Scream" sound effect, I would have echoed it.

Ayup. I used to get strange looks for casually drifting away from the people I was talking to when someone arrived (having just written the test we were about to write) and started talking about the questions. There is a reason (aside from being an introvert) that I eventually dropped out of the school social scene entirely.

Obama.

Clearly.
I don't think Sirus has any children, so no.

Well maybe he just doesn't know he had any children; I bet there is a pretty big market for trucker-goddess-president sperm.

Demigods with political prospects, sort of thing. And an inherent understanding of how to drive a truck.

This probably should be in CP, yes.

As for a map, if GIMP isn't working for you just get a plain piece of A4 paper and a pencil or fineliner or both. If you don't have a drawing tablet, then digital art is extremely difficult.

Otherwise, this looks interesting!

Bay12: A third of the introduction thread is a discussion on the semantics of masturbation.

Also, hi, I'm Arx! I have ridiculously broad general knowledge, so that I can pretend to understand nearly anything, and I actually understand a few things.

* Arx tries not to look like a banana.

Happy: not much work this week, just lots of tests in the near future.

I can't stop eating bananas. I've eaten about 10 bunches today.
This may have to go in the WTF thread as well.
Were they small bunches? Because the bunches I normally see are 4-6 bananas, and if you've eaten 50-

Eldritch abomination. Right. Explains everything. Souls of the wicked in short supply right now?

I have a small (1v5) DC motor which I plan to use.  It was used, and appears to have a small capacitor soldered between the leads.  What exactly would this do?  My guess is make it run for only a short time after power is applied before short-circuiting, but it seems like that would be counterproductive.
If it's connected across the leads (i.e. parallel, not series), then it's purpose is probably to prevent the motor from stopping dead if power is cut, instead making it slow rapidly. The capacitor would only cut it off if it was connected in series, like between one of the leads and the power source.

At least, that's what general knowledge and Google think, and they agree.

im having trouble stringing this abomination. the only material i have is yarn and i have no clue how to do it
Yarn like you would use for knitting?

not really knitting yard, its a bit stronger, but i tossed it anyway and im gonna cave and just get some bowstrings
Don't spend more money than you have to- there's a type of nylon cord called mason's line that makes a wonderful bowstring if you can get the knots to hold, which is probably cheaper than a fancy string. It's your call, though.

184cm, 62kg. Miauw, if you only weighed 50kg at that height, you'd be extremely unhealthy. I'm nearly skeletally thin at this ratio.

Everyone except MZ and Vector is tall. This is strange.
I'm not sure, Arx, but I'm also 14 years old. I'm fairly sure that I eat enough.
If you think you eat enough, and you're not dead, you're almost certainly healthy, no matter what the statistics tell you. Especially if you're a teenager.
