FF7Voice / Re: Would anyone be interested in seeing this project revived?
« on: 2011-04-29 14:09:13 »Marc, even though it may seem a hassle, if there are other people on here as dedicated as me Im sure plenty would have no problem recording 1500 lines.Unfortunately, it's not as plentiful as you'd think.
Most people start out thinking they'd love to tackle all of the lines. But once reality of the work required sets in, their enthusiasm sputters out.
So even if there are 2-3 people really gung-ho about recording all the lines, if everyone else fizzles out, the project still dies.
So cutting down the volume is probably the best way to go about it.
If the important lines all get recorded, and people want to keep going, I am sure that the project will continue, and complete everything. But recording the priority first, is prob the best way to handle it.

« on: 2011-04-28 21:04:07 »Really?I have never met an agnostic I didn’t like. And I think those are more like what you describe. “We will never be able to prove it, and it's highly unlikely” is their motto. But the professed atheists I’ve talked to are set on attempting to convert me, once they find out I am not an atheist. I find it as annoying as any other religious person trying to convert me. The ones I’ve met with just don’t want to accept that I don’t happen to believe what they believe.
I hear these stories a lot, especially from Americans: "an atheist said he was 100% certainly right and that there was no way that there could ever be anything that could be called God and then he tried to put me into a gas chamber".
But I have never heard any atheist, in real life, in the old media or on the interbutts, who has said "there can't possibly be a God". All of them agree that the chance of there being a God is lower than the chance of there not being a God, but I've heard none say what you just said.
Clearly, we live in different worlds.
But I’ll also state that I’ve met with a small sampling of atheists. I am sure there are ones out there not set on conversion. Just like how not all Christians are crazy fundamentalists. I just happen to have been unfortunate in the ones I’ve dealt with.

I don't know about "posting stuff", but I agree with the visiting.
I rarely posted when I first joined. So I can see other people joining, but just lurking.
But why join, and then never visit? Unless you visit, but don't bother to sign in because you aren't going to post anyways...
But oh well, if that's the case they can PM an admin to save their account, or something.

See
the old "warez user" status has been reimplemented, albeit with a new and hopefully more obvious twist to it. In addition to the avatar a new "pirate" moniker is also given. These pirates will be allowed to continue socializing with everyone, however, it is our hopes that the huge ass avatar will act like a sort of Scarlet Letter and repulse people from helping them with their broken, illegal game.

« on: 2011-04-26 16:56:10 »Not entirely. The correct behavior varies by locale. What you are saying is generally considered correct by most British style guides, but in most American style guides the quotation mark must always go after the period unless there's another piece of punctuation immediately afterwards.Well, oops.
Quotes: I'm doing it wrong.
Oh well, now I am educated (although I like the British way better. It just seems more sensical.

I thought you only included the period within the quotation mark if what you are quoting was also the end of a sentence.
e.g.
You, "Hi, what's up?"
Me, "Why did you say 'up?'"
Since the question mark is the end of both sentences (the one I'm saying AND the one I'm quoting) it falls within the quotes.
But if I was going to say, "Why did you say 'what's'?" The punctuation falls outside of the quote, as that is not the end of the sentence that I am quoting.
I am pretty sure that Covarr saying "everyone". is correct since "everyone" was not the end of Bosola's comment.

Actually M-Thoery offers a logical explanation for the cause of the big bang.
It offers a complete theory, 1 of many and is totally and utterly unprovable.
MICHAEL DUFF: Where M stands for magic, mystery or membrane.
PAUL STEINHARDT: I think people get the wrong impression about scientists in that they think in an orderly, rigid way from step 1 to step 2 to step 3. What really happens that often you make some imaginative leap which at the time may seem nonsensical. When you capture the field at those stages it looks like poetry in which you are imagining without yet proving. [...] One of us, maybe it was me, began by saying oh well why can't we make a universe out of collision and Neil sort of pitching in and saying well, if you did that then you could create all the matter and radiation of the Universe, so we had this conversation, one of us completing the sentences of the other in which we kind of just, just let our imaginations go.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/horizon/2001/parallelunitrans.shtml
I agree with your point DLPB that nothing can truly be proven. However, I don't know how logical M theory feels to me. But I'll confess it was thought up by much smarter people. Even if they were simply free associating on the way to a play (I suspect during happy hour).
WITCH!I don't blame religion for the witch hunts. My guess is that it was more politically motivated and veiled by religion. IMO it's akin to calling someone a Communist during the cold war, or a terrorist now. Have the authorities label someone a terrorist now and it gives them carte blanche.
The general consensus is that the universe if finite in size.Actualy this is something that's currently debated amongst physicists.
This isn't because there is any kind of wall; it's just because there is a finite amount of matter and it has been travelling for a finite amount of time, namely, since the Big Bang.
Some believe that it is finite, and is expanding as our "universe" expands from the big bang. While others believe that our big bang was not a singularity, and the universe already is at an infinite state.
I'll see if I can find a clip from the debate I just watched about this between Brian Green and Amir Aczel.
Here is the discussion I watched. They start arguing about space around 10:10

Wow Marc, I am thrilled to hear that you are still so dedicated to this project!
I also completely agree with you that not everything needs to (or really even should) be voiced. I specifically remember one scene where the VAs were voicing "press the purple square button"... That was a little excessive.
As you said, most games don't voice the non-important things. In fact, I'd doubt that even half of the stuff is usually voiced, unless it's integral plot development.
I would like still partake in this. But I am going to have to take an honest look at my schedule and see if I really currently have time, before I reapply. Either way, I am glad to hear that this project is still going forward

A Ladies’ Home Journal article in June 1918 said, “The generally accepted rule is pink for the boys, and blue for the girls. The reason is that pink, being a more decided and stronger color, is more suitable for the boy, while blue, which is more delicate and dainty, is prettier for the girl.”

If we're talking about etymology - the f word as a cigarette stems from its literal meaning, and makes sense in its use. Its application to homosexuals is ridiculously offense if you know the reasoning behind it.
