Psygonis Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Oh, custom compter cases! <3 I'd love to take the time to build one someday... Ok, for the funny things on the internet, I got one hilarious "Real Life" mod of Zelda, enjoy! :3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr. Nintendo Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Isn't there another topic for this? We have an official video/funny video topic in the rec room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabre Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 Isn't there another topic for this? We have an official video/funny video topic in the rec room. Yes, rather there 'was' a funny video and random picture thread. The problem is they are filled with youtube poops, random memes, and whatever crap people come across. Alot of people who post don't even watch the videos of others. This is for the quality stuff. The best stuff. Such as Or even written stuff that people from the other threads wouldn't bother with. There was a similar video to that zelda one where it follows a typical RPG NPC household. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xortberg Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Who decide's what's "quality" though? Quality in on person's eyes is likely to be far different than quality in another's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redeemer Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Sabre, forgive me here, but that video you posted is a fail video. Fail videos are also posted in the other funny moments topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabre Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 Who decide's what's "quality" though? Quality in on person's eyes is likely to be far different than quality in another's. Right. I'm sure there are those who find lol cats or youtube poops hillarious. I dont, and as such the thread is not worth wading through. There are 2 posts in the last page that comment on the videos, I doubt the rest even bothered watching, and deploys post has a bunch of Nyan cat videos, as if he just put nyan cat into search, and pasted the results into the thread. The idea with this is the best thing from the web. Maybe a post from each person every day or 2. It's also good for long form stuff. I could post a bunch of stuff I like, I doubt anyone would watch them and it would flood the thread. Instead, I'd like to keep this for stuff that stands out, not stuff that you forget as soon as you close the browser. Sabre, forgive me here, but that video you posted is a fail video. Fail videos are also posted in the other funny moments topic. I don't see the problem. It's a good one. It's not like Im spamming 50 game fails. Not all the stuff in the funny video thread is bad, but the good is outweighed by the crap. Same with the random pictures thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xortberg Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Right. I'm sure there are those who find lol cats or youtube poops hillarious. I dont, and as such the thread is not worth wading through. There are 2 posts in the last page that comment on the videos, I doubt the rest even bothered watching, and deploys post has a bunch of Nyan cat videos, as if he just put nyan cat into search, and pasted the results into the thread.

Instead, I'd like to keep this for stuff that stands out, not stuff that you forget as soon as you close the browser. That's all well and good, but you've yet to address my point. How is it decided that a video or picture is worth posting? I've seen some comic gold in lots and lots of FiM pictures and videos, but I really get the feeling you'd dismiss a lot of it as "that stupid pony meme." There's no reliable way to quality control, because quality varies from person to person. This thread is basically you saying "My videos are too good for a pre-existing, popular thread. I'm going to be a hipster and make a thread just for videos I approve of." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying there is a problem, but why make a thread for this stuff? It really just belongs in the other thread, with the other fails and funny moments. What people find funny differs from person to person, I don't see why we need to make a seperate topic for someone else's sense of humour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabre Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 Not sure whether this qualifies for this thread or not, but here's an impressive Rube Goldberg device that takes pictures That's pretty good. Ever seen the one with car parts? That's all well and good, but you've yet to address my point. How is it decided that a video or picture is worth posting? I've seen some comic gold in lots and lots of FiM pictures and videos, but I really get the feeling you'd dismiss a lot of it as "that stupid pony meme." There's no reliable way to quality control, because quality varies from person to person. This thread is basically you saying "My videos are too good for a pre-existing, popular thread. I'm going to be a hipster and make a thread just for videos I approve of." I see. You showed your hand as a troll, but prepair to be blown away. Yes, that is exactly what I'm doing minus the hipster bit. There might be some good MLP stuff, I saw a couple pre-meme. However, there is so much crap that I've decided it's not worth it to find the gem. However, this is not a "Videos and pictures Sabre likes" thread, this is a "Stuff from the internet" thread. So that excludes TV clips and the like. That's not to say this thread is exclusive, but a general ban on memes and tv clips should be enough to maintain a reasonable level of quality. I didn't want to name names, but look at Deploy for example. Last 2 or 3 pages of the video topic are mostly him, he doesn't comment on other videos, just dumps meme after meme. Can you remember any of the videos he posted without going back and looking? Look at this http://starfox-onlin...post__p__303360 40+ minutes of crap just thrown into the thread without a thought. Plus the threads aren't exclusive. No one is forcing you to post here, and no one is saying you can't have both. EDIT- Redeemer ninjaed me. What happened to ninja protection? What's wrong with a 'best of' thread, or a video/picture thread that is not memes and tv clips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redeemer Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 EDIT- Redeemer ninjaed me. What happened to ninja protection? What's wrong with a 'best of' thread, or a video/picture thread that is not memes and tv clips? Because as I said, "best of" stuff is in the eye of the beholder. You'll probably find that, as time goes on, this thread will soon start to attract stuff you yourself won't find funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabre Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 Because as I said, "best of" stuff is in the eye of the beholder. You'll probably find that, as time goes on, this thread will soon start to attract stuff you yourself won't find funny. I expect it now. But like the video topic was in the past, the good stuff will at least be worth going through the crap. With the simple set of rules, no spamming, no memes, has to be from the internet, most of the stuff I find crap we be eliminated. Again, it's not like Im impossing this on the other topic, so no one is harmed by it, and if there is no audience for this stuff the thread will die. If you think this thread will be a problem, lock it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xortberg Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I see. You showed your hand as a troll, but prepair to be blown away. Yes, that is exactly what I'm doing minus the hipster bit. How, pray tell. How, aside from one remark, was I a troll? I raised a valid point. There might be some good MLP stuff, I saw a couple pre-meme. However, there is so much crap that I've decided it's not worth it to find the gem. Again, that's fine. You still haven't answered my question. Who decides what is the 'gem' and what is the 'crap?' However, this is not a "Videos and pictures Sabre likes" thread, this is a "Stuff from the internet" thread. So that excludes TV clips and the like. That's not to say this thread is exclusive, but a general ban on memes and tv clips should be enough to maintain a reasonable level of quality. You made this thread because you don't like the other stuff. Yeah, I think calling it "Videos and pictures Sabre likes" isn't stretching it too far. In any case, there's still countless memes that are funny and don't have anything to do with TV. There is no way to reliably quality control and you have not proven this because you have yet to provide any objective measure of quality. Why is that? Oh yeah. Because it doesn't exist. I didn't want to name names, but look at Deploy for example. Last 2 or 3 pages of the video topic are mostly him, he doesn't comment on other videos, just dumps meme after meme. Can you remember any of the videos he posted without going back and looking? Look at this http://starfox-onlin...post__p__303360 40+ minutes of crap just thrown into the thread without a thought. Plus the threads aren't exclusive. No one is forcing you to post here, and no one is saying you can't have both. No one forces me to be in the other topic, either, so I can't remember any of Deploy's videos at all. I haven't looked at them. But that's not the point. The point is that this thread is pointless. IF it was possible to ensure an objective level of quality, maybe, but it just isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think this thread will be a problem, lock it. Oh no, I don't have a problem, I just wanted to let you know what could happen. But you're right in the sense that if people do stick to the rules you have given them, then this thread should contain stuff that entertains you. I'm not locking it, I just wanted to put my point across. But that's not the point. The point is that this thread is pointless. Pointception.

Sabre Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 Who decides what is the 'gem' and what is the 'crap?' Whoever posts. It's not hard. The rest of the post is just primitive chest beating and asking the same question repeatedly as if that gives it more weight. Edit- I've been ninjaed by you again, I'll make a thread about that. But yes, I'm well aware that things won't be perfect, and that some funny will be lost by that set of rules, but I find it better than the alturnitive.

Star_Dragon Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Interesting stuff over the 'net? well, I'm not sure this really qualifies, but if you like mods for Unreal Tournament 2004, and you like star wars, here's a mod for ya: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYuKh6Mfkh8 Troopers - Dawn of Destiny. Nice mod, if I may say so myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the post is just primitive chest beating and asking the same question repeatedly as if that gives it more weight. So let me get this straight. Whoever posts decides that their post is worth posting. BUT NO POSTING ANYTHING NOT WORTH POSTING. Am I right? Or am I missing some crucial factor here? EDIT: Lol, Dance of the Manwhore is great. Also, I think the ninja problem only comes from Quick Replying, because it just happened to me and I've full replied and gotten the notifications.

Nice mod, if I may say so myself. Theres a one for CoD4 that looks pretty good, not played myself there is a great UT2004 mod called Ballistic Weapons mod. Basicly a bunch of crazy weapons and more deadly headshots. It's great. So let me get this straight. Whoever posts decides that their post is worth posting. BUT NO POSTING ANYTHING NOT WORTH POSTING.

Stick to the rules, that's it. I don't see why this is difficult to understand. Also, sounds reasonible. I posted in the big thread already, so we'll see if thats part of the forum or not.

Xortberg Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 No, your not missing anything. It's that simple. Stick to the rules, that's it. I don't see why this is difficult to understand. It's difficult to understand because the rules contradict each other. There is no structure. According to your rules, nothing is to stop Deploy from coming in and posting Nyan Cat. And don't give me any "no memes" crap because fails are a meme, and you posted a CoDfail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star_Dragon Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Truthfully, Sabre, I already have the BW Mod. I've made at least twenty different recordings of me playing that game and mod (though I deleted them all to free up space on my HD). It's awesome, no argument there, and the configurable options are better. My favorite weapons are the E-23 ViPeR, the SRS-900 Battle Rifle, and the Skrith Blades (whatever they're called) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 That's a nice computer case, Sabre. I have a better one though. http://i55.tinypic.com/2wovwy0.jpg I heard this is what happens to your computer after installing gentoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
