The Endless Forest is throwing yet another party! The Deer of The Dead Abiogenesis will fall upon our Forest in celebration of Halloween- tomorrow! Or at least, here it’s tomorrow; at 4PM to be precise. When do you have to log on to join the fiesta? Check this reference to see what time it will start where you live! Don’t miss it!
For those of you with Fraps or GameCam; community videos would be greatly appreciated, especially for those who cannot make it to the event! Also remember to take lots of screenshots! Abiogenesis are the most exciting events the Forest will ever see- definitely worth scrapbooking!
If this is your first Abiogenesis- I recommend that you lower your graphic settings as the even is usually very heavy on most machines and lag is likely to attack even my monster setup. Be sure to stay until the end for a Forest-wide dance party! What is Abiogenesis? It’s when the Twin Gods(Michael and Aureia) arise and party hard with all us stags. They’re shows are truly amazing!
Also; Mr.Giant Zombie Deer will likely be awake, for those who haven’t yet had the chance to meet him!
After having thoroughly been disappointed by the ending of Deathly Hallows; and lack of room for a sequel, China comes up with it’s own tales to tell!
2002; Harry Potter and The Filler of Big
This title just plain makes me laugh. A better translation can suggest “Harry Potter and The Big Funnel,” but I still haven’t stopped laughing XD!!!
Here we have the hopeless front cover starring said funnel;
The first page shows the Chinese book bootlegger’s mastery of clipart-based graphic design, and both typography and paper which suggest the finest of 1970s telephone directories. Chapter one; “Party”
Then the Inner Mongolian People’s Publishing Company brings us “Harry Potter and the Beaker of Burn”
Note the extensive copy write infringements on the covers, I don’t think pointing them out is necessary XD
But wait; what about this authentic Rowling photo in the rear flap; complete with author biography? And an official-looking copy write page! How dreadfully desperate…
Inside the book there’s also a poorly drawn spread of all the major characters; who seem to be melded together(especially Fred and George because they’re drawn as some mutated 2-headed kid) Except for Fluffy, who sits in the corner flaunting at least 80 anatomical issues.
And then the long-awaited 8th book; Harry Potter and Leopard Walks Up To Dragon!
‘Harry Potter and Leopard Walks Up to Dragon’ was released in China shortly before ‘Order of the Phoenix’. Here’s an excerpt from the first chapter…
“Harry doesn’t know how long it will take to wash the sticky cake off his face. For a civilised young man, it is disgusting to have dirt on any part of his body. He lies in the elegant bathtub, keeps wiping his face, and thinks about Dudley‘s face, which is as fat as Aunt Petunia‘s ass.”
The book was, as it turns out, was actually just a word for word translation of ‘The Hobbit’, with a new first and last chapter. The other, working under the guise of J.K. Rowling, simply substituted the character names for Harry Potter characters, and used ‘Wizard of Oz’ character names to fill out the cast.
A true masterpeice XD
Several other fake Harry Potter novels have made it big over there, including “Harry Potter and the Half-Blooded Relative Prince,” “Harry Potter and the Hiking Dragon,” “Harry Potter and the Chinese Empire,” “Harry Potter and the Young Heroes,” “Rich Dad, Poor Dad and Harry Potter,” “Harry Potter and the Golden Armor,” “Harry Potter and the Crystal Vase,” and on and on. There are at least 12 such books circulating in China.
Rumors prior to the release of Order of The Pheonix suggest;
Zelda writes: “The title of the sixth book will be Harry Potter and the Green Flame Torch [Peter Pettigrew returns] when Harry finds a torch that gives off a green flame that will heal good and kill anything evil.”
“Something worth saying should be something worth understanding.”
How many days till Christmas? <——– completely irrelevant; but commonly asked.
It’s been how many months since my discovery of The Endless Forest??? I can’t believe I haven’t advertised it yet! Okay; that was blunt, but it’s really quite true. Perhaps you’ve heard of it? By NO means is the game ANY of the following!!!!!
- Bambi Online
- Anti-Social
- Freaky
- A Waste of Time
- Pay 2 Play
Now that I’ve gotten that out of my system; I suggest you visit the website (http://tale-of-tales.com/TheEndlessForest/) And read what there is to read. I’ve explained the game before; and ended up taking up WAY more space than I would want to put in a blog. So, for your sake; I’ll leave the explaining to the official website. However; I will proclaim that it is a true masterpiece. As for my Spanish audience- the site itself is only in English but you won’t need to know any English to play the game and socialize. Oh yeah; it’s usually referred to as being an MMO, but you should keep in mind that it’s a social game and NOT a let’s-go-kill-stuff game. Give it a try; it’s not flooded with kiddies either.
“One should never linger on one word too long; for it will soon become bored and leave.”
It seems I haven’t posted in a while. Writer’s block? Not exactly…more something of a lack of subject. Such a thing still remains just out of my grasp. Let me just proclaim a couple of things for now; your mind’s thirst for an update needs quenching of some sort.
I’d first like to rant about people’s abuse of the world’s excitement revolving around the new Harry Potter book. Firstly; if you’re one to even seek spoilers, you’re not worthy of such a masterpiece. Secondly; Anything you find on the web as this current time has been confirmed as lies. Anybody spreading such lies are automatically on my hate list; both for lying and for attempting to spoil a great book before anybody has the chance to read it for themselves. And we’ve all heard of this Philippine fan girl who went so far as to hang herself over a fake copy of the book available on the Internet; giving Harry and his friends all a gruesome end. Stop this nonsense or I’ll have to beat you.
On a side note; I’m currently working on a book. The plot is still fuzzy and I can’t predict it’s length as of yet; but I can tell you that I will be writing both plain text as well as a graphic novel and probably publish on the Internet for all you blokes for free.
For those of you who had a screechy/excited/annoying/angry/whatever fit about my earlier post regarding the next Harry Potter book.
I’ve just recently discovered that Rowling herself had released a spoiler- that she would be killing at least two people in the book. Chew on that for a while!
With the release of the 7th(and final) Harry Potter book fast approaching, I can’t help but scream at the world my theory as to what the outcome of the book will be. I know I’m probably not the only one who’s thought of this; but I just gotta post it somewhere! Basically; Harry’s the last horcrux and both he and Voldemort have to die. Now let me support with some evidence;
- Harry keeps sensing Voldemort’s thoughts and feelings
- Harry keeps having prophetic dreams related to Voldemort
- Harry has the same wand as Voldemort
- Harry’s a parcelmouth
- In book 6, Dumbledore himself said that in killing Harry, Voldemort was indeed trying to make a horcrux!!! <—— update!!!!!
At this point some questions have to be raised;
- Why is Voldemort trying to kill his last horcrux?
I don’t think he realizes it.
- What about the prophecy from book 5?
Dumbledore said it could be referring to Neville; which is likely the case if you’re familiar with good literature plotting.
- But after the last Horcrux is destroyed, who’s supposed to kill Voldemort?
Judging by my conclusion about the prophecy, I’d have to point at Neville. I’d quite like to see that; wouldn’t you?
Thus I’m confident that Harry will have to die and then Voldemort killed by the most unlikely person, Neville. (If the rest of my theory’s true, then the book would be rather stupid if Neville weren’t the slayer of Voldemort.) Please point out any holes in my theory- or more evidence, because I’m sure I missed some.
“The things anybody can hear, but nobody bothers to- this is what we call white noise.”
“What are you doing right now?” Ah, yes; reading, of course! Did you know that wars are still persisting? You do. Did you know that children in third world countries are starving? You always have; those commercials on TV won’t let you know otherwise. Maybe you know what your friends are up to, too…
But what’s Bob from Toronto up to? I don’t know either. Okay, maybe you do- in which case a better question would be; “Is there a fly in Stuart Little’s cat bowl right now?” There’s something you can’t answer. It seems people insist on sucking up all the information they possibly can about what goes on with the people closest to them; and there are some things people just know- like the starving kids on the other side of the world. But surely you wouldn’t be able to answer if somebody asked you what Bilimsel from Istanbul is doing. For a matter of fact, he says he’s currently; ‘ufuğun kolundaki kılları yaktıktan sonra bir depar attım, kendime inanamadım, evet 25 yaşındayım (100 binlik arabam yok)’. And no, I can’t translate. That’s a little out there, no? Okay; let’s try something a little closer to home- How about (random citizen) from 2 blocks down? Maybe you don’t even know their name! Look out the window; any passersby? Do you know them; do you know what they’re doing? How about this; You can’t tell me what Sheryl from Spain, or what Kari from Brazil were doing yesterday. I know; but I can’t tell you what’s up with them today >.>
“Why on earth would I need to know these things!?” Well; nobody would need to, but can’t you admit that you’re interested to some extent? Most people use the internet to communicate with people they already know, or to find out stuff they absolutely must know. What I see in this internet is an enormous BLOB of people from all over the world. Who can resist mingling with such a crowd? Everybody’s going to be different here. I’M REALLY HUNGRY RIGHT NOW SOMEBODY FEED ME!!!! Heh…anyway; I was saying! I’m rather shy IRL, but when I get going on forums, MMO’s, etc. I’m a social butterfly! mom’s crazy she already packed up all our food for the move… Okay; let me get straight to it before my stomach eats itself- Check out Twitter.com if you’re interested in what the world’s doing- or if you just sick of people saying ‘nothing’ every time you ask them ‘what’s up?’ on MSN. (No, really- those situations destroy the use of MSN and everybody does it)
Double post today! And in case you’re wondering; this was originally going to be a review for Twitter but as you can see it quickly became some rather random blurp.
Sheryl- sometime after lunch she exclaimed on Twitterfaces “I’m either stuffed full of curry or about to have a little Indian baby”
Kari- She was playing Metin 2, attempting and mostly failing to communicate with English me. She also insisted on trying to attack mobs of much higher level than herself T.T
“All in all a terrible movie. I highly recommend it ^.^”
Have you ever tried to draw straight lines freehand? At least as a kid? Chances are you found it excruciatingly impossible. And when your straightedge starts to wear down? Should you keep using it despite how wobbly your lines may become? I’m using too many questions in a paragraph. Looks like my straightedge is a tad worn, too.
What am I getting at? Certainly not grammatical mistakes! Of course not. “My abuse of the ever-useful question mark is completely irrelevant.” Earlier today I had attempted(and failed) to troubleshoot some Vista-related issues in Winamp. My forum search for ‘vista issues’ gave me over 50 pages of results but none of them were related to Vista and less than half of them had anything to do with Winamp. Where are the forum mods? “Here we have an extremely crooked line; somebody obviously made a slip.” =/
I can’t help but notice how many people fail to decide what to consider as being ‘morally and socially correct’. Most people who make this mistake will actually notice it; but refuse to do anything about it. A rather large scale example; something illegal in one country is legal in another. Does that mean it’s okay to do as long as you do it where it’s legal? Perhaps you’re a good, respectable person and don’t personally see anything wrong with the said act. The fact still remains that it’s illegal somewhere. You have to think of why it would be illegal. Unless of course, the country is irrational- in which case you have to verify that very fact. But one of the most problematic examples of this “failure to draw straight lines” is comprehension of biblical law. Such things are often debated; the most obvious of which being whether or not it’s okay to get tattoos. Arguments include ‘But it only applies to old testament!’ vs ‘God doesn’t change his mind. His written laws are solid and definite.’ Who are we to decide what side is correct? Some of you may make a decision to never get tattooed so you it won’t matter anyway. But then you still have a wobbly line nagging at the back of your mind. “For whatsoever is not of faith is sin” (Romans 14:23) This verse should come to mind. Although 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 does not directly apply to tattoos or body piercings, it does give us a principle, “What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.” This great truth should have a real bearing on what we do and where we go with our bodies. If our bodies belong to God, we should make sure we have His clear “permission” before we “mark it up” with tattoos or body piercings. A tattoo that glorifies god? Now you’re getting somewhere. The laws in Leviticus state that you are not to ‘desecrate your body with such piercings and tattoos’. Not all such tattoos and piercings have to be desecrations.
If you keep letting wobbly lines slide; you’ll end up with a giant scribbly mess and you won’t have a clue at all. Straighten these lines before they tangle. You can use the same straightedge- just use the other side of it. You have to look further into the problem.
Praying for the riddance of mosquitoes- is that alright to do? Try to decide for yourself when you see this thread; http://www.thejesusjoint.net/viewtopic.php?t=2424&sid=7baa9fb897c3123bcab8b28da734ea32
