Chopsticks are proof that east asians are a stupid people. Of all the thousands of years recorded in chinese history- How the fuck did two sticks beat the fork?
Heroes of Might and Magic 3 needs an enhanced remake (and if possible, remake the original Armageddon's Blade concept as a deleted scenes free DLC)

[QUOTE=The Jack;43977981]Chopsticks are proof that east asians are a stupid people. Of all the thousands of years recorded in chinese history- How the fuck did two sticks beat the fork?[/QUOTE] It's largely due to East Asian cruisine. Western (as in, including the Arabic world) civilizations grew wheat, while the Chinese grew rice. Rice requires boiling, and longterm this resulted in food being naturally boiled by the Chinese as well. You can't pick food out of a boiling pot with a fork or spoon easily, so using two sticks is what is done. Another major difference is that the Chinese chop up their food before cooking it (in the West, we chop up or tear apart our food after preparation), making knives redundant. The Chinese generally have a bowl of rice each, while dishes of various chopped meats or other dishes sit in the middle of the table, from which you can withdraw food using a spoon or chopsticks. Given enough time, this ingrains itself so that people become used to the chopsticks. This is changing however. The Chinese government is concerned about the environmental use of chopsticks, so they put a tax on them and tried to encourage them being reused instead of thrown away. They are also advocating the use of knives and forks for similar reasons. To be honest, I find the chopstick is a logical tool. It's an extension of the fingers that allows you to handle food without burning your fingers. You don't need to bother with chopping up food, removing bones, etc because that has already been done. It's also why I heavily eschew use of the knife and prefer using solely a fork with my right hand.
asian languages though... fucking heiroglyphics.

But the japs are halfway there. They've got three alphabets. Kanji is the bullshit chinese one. Get rid of that one. The korean alphabet is pretty sensical actualy. It's a bother to write though. cyrillic alphabet is the best alphabet. I don't even speak any slav languages. But it's the best alphabet.

I like the Cyrillic Alphabet because it has such a large variety of sounds that you just don't find in the Roman Alphabet. That and it looks really cool. Big bias here because I'm Russian so yeah.

Facepunch Moderators are really really petty and childish. Every "scandal" they've ever had is because they're stubborn and unreasonable.
Google Plus is pretty good and I'd use it over other social networks ( if I ever decide that I want to social network) if it weren't for google's forcing it down my throat

[QUOTE=Funktastic Dog;43979185]Facepunch Moderators are really really petty and childish. Every "scandal" they've ever had is because they're stubborn and unreasonable.[/QUOTE] Depends on the person. Seems like every mod follows their own set of rules outside of general forum norms, such as Orkel's "ban history regardless of how long it's been since you were last banned" mastubatory philosophy.

And I think the mods are fine, in general they keep the general quality of posts at a high standard.

Not saying they can't but I really don't think you can "just throw it out".
Citizen Kane is a boring 2 hour snooze fest, whoever calls it the greatest movie ever made need to get their brains checked.

EA should make the Origin client available for download on Steam, similar to how Ubisoft games on steam use Uplay
