Check the links in the OP then... play the game. Or the other way around. Or just the latter. I'd probably suggest saying to hell with summoner's rift until you're more comfortable with the game -- Dominion, TT, and the all-random map I've forgotten whatever they're calling now, all tend to be much shorter matches, so if you're sucking and bungling at least you won't be stuck in that for as long :P -- but that's the most I could offer.

!!!!!

There's more? Thank you.

Once I've sorted through the six days of music I've already got queued, I shall get the additions.
*slightly belated* Yeah, the albums have stuff in them that never hit the site itself. OCRemix has fairly strict submission guidelines (at least regarding a few things) that the albums tend to be able to play with a bit more loosely, so there's usually at least a few per album that never clears it for the site. That doesn't mean they're not good -- as the OC Remix folks state fairly regularly in the little description blurbs, just because a piece doesn't clear OC Remix's heuristic does not in any way necessarily entail it's not good music -- just that they've got some aspects that don't clear the hurdles (often the arrangement qualification, so you end up with excellent remixes, just not exemplary video game music arrangements. There's an important distinction there!).

Liking things I'm not totally obsessed with is something new for me that's come in over the past five years or so.  I'm enjoying that feeling.
Yes! Appreciation for that-which-garners-disinterest is a trait that reaps dividends when cultivated. Dividends of admittedly-lesser-but-still-notable-pleasure. Frumple is still working on it, but much better than was decade ago.

FF6 album
All I care about is "More Stragos Theme Remixes", hahaha. The rest is just window dressing for Frumple :P

The big ones.
Ah ha!

Well. Get the little ones, too ;D There's some pretty good stuff that didn't clear OC Remix's standards in those things.

E: Also maybe RSS the 10 latest submissions, yes. I really need to clear that out soonish, s'hit the point there's o'er 150 submissions I haven't eyeballed...

... "the" torrent? There's like a couple dozen ones (Quick check: 48 total). Three primary ones, iirc, for the individual tracks uploaded to the site, and then a buncha' individual album stuff. There is much glory to be found within.

21875
Probably! Assuming nothing comes up, I don't get distracted by something else, etc., so forth, so on.

Point? Sooner we can start loosening our dependency on a single planet, the better off we are, flat out. Gives us some more room to slow down the fuckery we pull on the one we've got, as well as a potential out (or at least partial safety net/assistance possibility) in case of large scale disaster. From a survival point of view, the more baskets we can put our eggs in, the better.

EDIT: And then there's the whole you bringing forth a hypothetical compared to facts (true or untrue, but nobody has claimed falsehood). Why the hell are you inventing histories for this guy to absolve blame?
I... think to avoid inventing histories in order to apportion blame? If I'm reading SG right.

Actually that "insane corruption" did save them, insofar as I've noticed.

What doomed them all was, well, a genocidal madperson that specifically hunted down and slaughtered their means of reproduction. Rather imagine the same thing would have happened even if the orcs'd been able to not resort to the breeding pit stuff, it'd just been their women and children hunted down and massacred instead of what was targeted. 'Cause that's how T4's player character rolls, apparently.

Catflakes.  Another thing you didn't know that you need.
Body horror of the next to worst sort ;_;

1.5 cats were dismembered and one cat beheaded for every catflake created :'(

Especially vileness and culinary failure.

I've usually been downing a few gulps of applesauce, the last few months, insofar as early-morning-food goes. It's good for it, since it's somewhat alright for energy, tasty, and you can drink it straight from the container.

My life was much improved when I realized that last bit. Does mean I can't really share the applesauce, but... eh. I'm about the only one I have any regular(ish) contact with that eats the stuff. Also pretty cheap! Think the stuff I've been getting lately is like 5-6 cent to the ounce, iirc. Somewhere between that and a dime.

... just woke up from a dream that had Nicolas Cage in a Gillette commercial inserted into the middle of a presentation about penguins and relocating things via transorbital flight. I haven't watched TV in months and months and months, but... this. He blew up some kind of flying machine with a rocket launcher, then shaved. It was a good shave. Clean, elegant, quick.

Also apparently the stars coming into alignment happens often, some upcoming celestial event of importance is known as "The Great Slap" -- and we can miss recording it, somehow -- and the stars have apparently begun a thousand year descent of some sort. From discussion with some older fellow sitting beside me during the presentation.

All this during some sort of talent show... thing. At least I got to avoid seeing what the dude's who's introduction was "He's wearing nothing but razor sharp knives under that coat" was going to do. Or maybe unfortunately instead of at least, I'unno. I was kinda' looking forward to it.

All in all. Hell of a thing to start the day with.

Interesting to see if anything comes of that... seems rare that folks are actually slapped for doing stuff of that nature, hrm.

Also that website is kinda' goddamn horribly designed. Any other sources?

Though I rather imagine that, so long as privacy screens of some sort were set up, it wouldn't be illegal. Probably be tried under public indecency of some sort, but I'm not sure what the law's position on public speaking while on the loo is, so long as appropriate measures were taken.

Alternately, catheter(s) of some sort. There are a lot of old people in that group...

Yeah... I'd probably call some of those maps on a few things. Cases of "technically true, but they're missing some of the picture". Protection from discrimination based on ethnicity, ferex, is legally guaranteed to folks in the US... when they're hired or being considered for hiring by companies of a particular size -- 15 and up, in this case. As MSH notes, it's been defended repeatedly based on th'inequal protection bit. Smoking is banned in schools at the subnational level, as well (search through for "school"), and education is guaranteed for the disabled (just not constitutionally). Good deal of the stuff on those things does appear to be accurate, but it's somewhat troublesome that they're outright wrong or highly misrepresentative on some other bits :-\

Don't get me wrong, you want to shit on the states in the arena that article addresses, there's plenty of room to do it. No need to leave out facts.

Report the unadulterated facts with absolutely no personal interjection or opinion. It's rather easy, excepting for when you have a paycheck.
Just make sure you avoid reporting all the potentially relevant facts and that's an absolutely beautiful way to get some deliciously biased material out there. Deception 101 is how to do it with facts, heh. The disabled education bit is an excellent example... check the source on the inclusion of the disabled into the education process. No, education's not constitutionally decreed, but there's pretty significant legal support anyway. And in an article that's ostensibly about "children's chances", it's pretty bloody obvious that reporting on the constitutional support but not the institutional support is blatant bias.

Edit: Well, okay, either blatant bias or ineptitude. Could be either, I guess.
