WORD OF THE DAY! 2/11/14!
snu snu [snoo-snoo]
noun
1. Originating in Season 3 Episode 1 of Futurama, "Amazon Women in the Mood", it refers to endless sex performed on a man by a variety of women, especially by large women, usually resulting in the death of the man by crushed pelvis. It is now a popular pop culture reference and often used to refer to particularly rough intercourse, especially involving a large woman.
EX. On one hand, I've never been a big fan of coupling Wonder Woman with Superman and I'm not even always onboard with her relationship with Batman in the Justice League, but I gotta admit that Wonder Woman getting some snu snu on with Supes would be hilariously destructive and, with Batman, horribly violent and unfortunate. What do you think?

WORD OF THE DAY! 2/7/14!
noun
1. A discussion involving opposed viewpoints.
2. A formal contest between opposing viewpoints on a subject.
3. A deliberation.
verb
4. To take part in a discussion or formal contest of opinions.
5. To deliberate.
EX. I struggled with the decision to post this debate, as there is plenty of discussion before and after about whether it would or could have any sort of positive outcome given that, for example, much if not all of the ad revenue for the debate will go towards funding the Creationist Museum and that it might legitimize the option of Ham's Young Earth Creationism by putting it up against evolution, but the in the end, I think that it is a good debate and should be shared with more people.
While it may not change anyone's mind or end the debate about creationism and evolution, it does serve as a platform for us to discuss this subject. Personally, I applaud any chance to get people listening to ideas, thinking about them, and talking about them with others. This sort of discussion, in my opinion as a skeptic & agnostic atheist (meaning "I don't believe in the supernatural, because I have never witnessed any evidence that the supernatural exists, but I cannot know with full certainty that the supernatural doesn't exist"), will lead to people seeking more information to form and adjust their own conclusions and held-beliefs about the world and universe we live in.
I think the debate was fairly interesting and, while many people may have already heard both side's arguments before, I had not heard everything discussed or thought about everything discussed. I learned a lot about Ham's Young Earth Creationism, a belief held by many in the world but especially by fundamentalist Christians in the United States that the world was quite literally created by god around 6,000 years ago and then a Great Flood wiped all life except for two of every animal and Noah's family on the ark 4,000 years ago, and about many different disciplines of science, from biology to geology, from Bill Nye.
My biggest qualm with the debate is that, far too often, Ham fell back upon his faith and the Bible for evidence. In contrast, Nye used scientific evidence and the majority consensus of the scientific community brought about by decades and centuries of tested, true, or theoretical scientific exploration of the observable world around us. The major difference between these two view points is that, for biblical "scientists" like Ham, all of the answers to the big questions can be found in the Bible. Evolution is rooted in observable evidence; it can make predictions about the past, the present, and the future and many such predictions have been found to be accurate (EX. Transitional fossils). On the other hand, new earth creationism is, primarily, rooted in faith; their is nothing wrong with faith (in fact, as an agnostic, I don't rule out the existence of a god creating the universe) but, as far as I and many other see, it cannot do the same sort of things that science can do. Furthermore, most religious texts, including much of the Bible and the Old Testament contradict the evidence presented by all disciplines relevant to history from archeology to geology (EX. Egyptologists have found no evidence in their centuries of study and exploration of the Exodus ever taking place in Egypt) unlike the theories of the Big Bang, evolution, etc. that are backed by hard evidence-- just because they're theories does not make them any less valid (EX. Gravity is a theory. We don't know how it works, but it is an observable force.). Yet, if evidence is found to the contrary of these theories, and very little or none has been found, then the science community would be glad to explore new avenues created by any discovery. That is the very nature of science. It is the systematic collection of information used to formulate ideas about the universe and make predictions about discoveries yet to be discovered. That is not the nature of Ham's creationism.
Religion and science, in my opinion and in many others, don't mix. Creationism's place is in the philosophy class, not in our science text books.

WORD OF THE DAY! 2/25/13!
verb
1. To eliminate by a literal or figurative crossing-out with lines.
EX. It seems that he wasn't the only one with dashed hopes. I thought they were about to announce Starcraft Ghost-- a ludicrous a thought one could have.

WORD OF THE DAY! 7/27/12.
noun
1. Someone who speaks indistinctly and/or incoherently.
EX. Am I the only one who is willing to accept the horrible ramifications of demanding voice acting in the next Zelda? I mean, keep Link as a mushmouth idiot, but there is no reason that the other characters can't have amazing voice acting. If Nintendo doesn't start taking more risks, I won't buy their next console... (unless it has Zelda and Mario titles on it because then I'm helpless).

WEEKLY ROUND-UP! 6/25-7/1/12.
WEEKLY ROUND-UP PRESENTS
FOR THE LOVE OF FAN-ART WEEK!
Magic: The Gathering has really become an important hobby in my stable of things to do and spend money on. I can't wait to go to the pre-release this weekend because I am psyched about M13.
Is there anything else finer than a brilliant piece of Nintendo fanart? Well, besides the love of a homocidal teenage girl robot android sent from the future to save your life and give you rides to school on her back, courtesy of her jetboots, very few things are as fan as the Nintendo fanart I've shared with you guys from Jed Henry.
I wonder what the Japanese word is for "tripping balls". Maybe its "tarepingu basu desu?" Or is that Engrish?
Ukinjoe's animated shorts are hilarious and manage to throw in some clever bits of satire that only someone who lives on the internet would get. You sonic fans have a problem. Just saying.
This Adventure Time x Miyazaki fanart crossover from DMD just makes me want to break down, pull my DVDs off the shelf, and have a private little marathon with someone special. Whimsy starts in the heart.
And you guys probably forgot I could still write, huh? Please check out this story and be excited for the lead-in to my pathfinder campaign fan fiction. A special thanks to my companions of the Action Society.
If last week was "lazy week" I really brought it for the end of the month and the start of the knew. Enjoy this podcast starring myself and Zach Martin.

SCI-FI FANTASY SUNDAY! SILVERFISH PROLOGUE PT. 1
SCI-FI FANTASY SUNDAY
About three weeks ago, my good friend Kyle finally unleashed his DM skills upon our gaming group and the results have, thus far, been extremely satisfying. Its our first Pathfinder game and, for those of you out of the know, Pathfinder is basically Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 + several corrections to rules, balancing of classes, and simplification of material. Basically, think of it as D & D 3.75. And, in our campaign, I am playing a D & D character that indulges several character fantasies of mine and I would like to share a little prologue about his exploits before we get into the cool storyline of our game sessions and the characters within.
Before I get into it, I want to assure I will be continuing The Action Society, Bastards & Buggers, YŌKAI soon. If you have a preference over which one you would rather see continued first, please leave a comment or send me a message about it.
You can see the last chapter in both below.
And here are some links other relevant articles.

DAILY ROUND-UP! 9/29/11
Today was pretty okay. Got past the Forest of Illusion in Super Mario World.
All signs point to no Navi, lots of sword fighting and a game that I just have to get and play. Something about Zelda (Link to the Past is my favorite LOZ and SNES game) just makes me all kinds of excited as a gamer. I really love this franchise and this trailer is gorgeous.
Remember when Links's Uncle dies in Link to the Past and gives him his sword?
Since when did we need a British animator to lampoon our entertainment villains? C'mon America! Pick it up! I want ten parodies animated of this monster by this time tomorrow!
Gary Oak is always amusing.

DAILY ROUND-UP! 9/13/2011
So what tickled my fancy on this supercalifragilisticexpialidocious day?
BE AGGRESSIVE!
I had a manic day and could definitely feel the beat of this song in my heart rumbling like a Crown Royale bag of dice. I really enjoy Brad Neely's humor and am excited that on Oct. 2, his creation, China, IL, is getting a new iteration on ADULT SWIM on the Cartoon Network. His humor is a little odd but I really get it.
I really wanna send some awesome fantention the way of Brad Neely tonight. Here is the first scene/chapter from his project called Wizard People, Dear Reader. The project basically involves Neely, someone who has never read the Harry Potter books, narrating the movie like a bizarre book on tape. You can actually download the full mp3 below and get the full experience by playing it over the Sorceror's Stone.
Next on the menu is a hilarious video by the ever-amusing Harry Partridge. Stephen started as a one-off joke as a mention of Partridges most famous character but, after this great animation, it is sure to become a reality. Check out his stuff for more twisted but hilarious humor.
This handy dandy chart will give you a run down until, well, the end of humanity. Check it out.
Alan Rickman. Says. Check this out, byy Grabthar's hammer! I have been a fan of Rickman since his role as the Sheriff of Nottingham.
