Damn, are there any people smoother than Curtis Mayfield and Sade?

Sade is my biggest guilty pleasure... I fucking love her voice so much.

[Phoenix Dark]

Why is it a guilty pleasure, she's awesome period!

I just got her first two albums and they're great

what did wollan get banned for?

this actually reminds me of the case of Wollan. He's been an amazing contributor to everything about KZ2 on GAF. I really hope the KZ2 community on GAF could develop into something like the old R1 GAF clan which I truly had a blast with. And I think with Wollan around it would definite help.

So...do you think the mods would agree to free Wollan before the official thread is up if I'm willing to take the rest of his ban on myself? I don't post much but my record on GAF has been mostly good. I just look forward to having a good time with the GAF clan in KZ2 online.

This killzone 2 threads are fucking priceless

I like lunlunq, but I think he might have missed the basic point of a ban.

I also find it a bit amusing that Wollan has been dubbed "the original believer." Someone should remind them that he also believed in Killzone 1.

Did bishoptl ban anyone for hating on Turok?

Yes, he banned AdmiralViscen for three months when he asked if the PS3 version would run on the 40 GB models. It was then shortened to a month when some users complained about the banning in the thread.

Some one has a link to the seiken ban?, supposedly he called someone an idiot and got six months for that, looks like the mods are getting tired of the killzone orgy.

Turok 2 was shitcanned?

good, the last release was a blight upon the world and spat on the N64 original.  SPAECE MARINEZ

[WrikaWrek]

Turok was decent.

They needed to flesh out the "Hunter" gameplay though. The knife rocked, and there's a knife fight at the end that is really bad ass. It had potential, but i don't know, the story wasn't exactly great, and it just didn't do anything to stand out.

It's a ideological difference; it's not like he's some greedy conservative bastard. He just has an outdated world view. Sounds like a nice dude, and if he's ever in town I'd love to meet him.

That was the gayest shit i've ever read.

[ToxicAdam]

I was friends with a gay co-worker right out of high school. He confessed to me that he had a crush on me and it made the whole thing wierd. I just kind of shunned the guy because I felt like every time we talked it could be construed as me flirting with him. I probably could have handled it better, but I wasn't really mature enough to do it. Too bad.

[WrikaWrek]

You were in high school, don't worry about it.

If some fat ugly chick friend of mine had told me she had a crush on me in high school, i would avoid her too. Actually it did happen. So a dude saying it, is even worse.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

I wouldn't be mad. I'd fuck the shit out of her.

[Phoenix Dark]

I'd imagine it would be weird with a best friend but in general it's no problem imo. Kinda flattering to tell the truth. It's happened to me more than once at school and at restaurants and I just go along with it until things start getting too crazy. And that's really the funniest thing imo: acting totally oblivious while getting hit on, then finally saying "oh I'm sorry, I'm not gay."

I kinda get more annoyed when it's a fat chick, especially a white one. In that case I get annoyed that they automatically assume I'm going to recip since I'm black.

[Flannel Boy]

Help me EB my brother got a DNA test and it was revealed that we're Puerto Rican

First, I really need to stop finding new proxy sites.

Second, Puerto Ricans are European (mostly Spanish), West African, and Amerindian--usually a mix of all three. A DNA ancestry test would reveal the level of your admixture, but would not reveal that you're "Puerto Rican."

Third, you can be both black and Puerto Rican; one is a race the other is an ethnicity or nationality.

Fourth, we all know you never had a "black card" to begin with.  

[MyNameIsMethodis]

It revealed the Following: Puerto Rican, Portugese, English. So there.

Second, why does no one think i'm black?

[Brehvolution]

Cheebs, you give a shit that gaborn doesn't like you? 

[Flannel Boy]

Apparently, neither does the DNA test.

"Puerto Rican" is too imprecise of a category for a DNA ancestry test. It doesn't really narrow it down.

[Cheebs]

Cheebs, you give a shit that gaborn doesn't like you? 

No not really. I just was kinda weird about the fact he thought I was a gay basher and being homophobic at the time cause I said he was acting like a woman.

It took your DNA matches and matched it to profiles from other countries, of which Puerto Rican and Portugal and England where the biggest matches. Which is true because my ancestor is the person who actually started the American Revolution in Concord, MA. Which makes me a part of the Sons of the American Revolution group, and also the right to be addressed as a "Reverend"

People, even libertarians, usually don't hold political beliefs for purely misanthropic reasons. Usually, people believe that beliefs x, y, ans z, no matter how distasteful, will lead to the best type of society; they don't hold the beliefs because they're dicks.

From what I understand from my (limited) knowledge on the subject, those tests aren't all that accurate in the first place.  You can't tell someone's race and ethnicity from genes.  It's just that some races/ethnicities have common, but not unique, patterns in their DNA.  Like, asians might be more likely to have combination gene d + gene f + gene r, but they are by no means the only race that can have that combination.  The DNA test that methodis is talking about looks at the patterns in your DNA and makes a "Best guess" at what your makeup is.  It is not an exact science.

His whole schtick on GAF is based on him being a libertarian, and thus anti-human.  Maybe if his beliefs on the subject weren't shouted out at every available, even minisculey relevant time, I wouldn't think he's a shithead.

wrong. sociopaths can actually enjoy human suffering. i do not doubt that the more devout of the libertarian strain are partially if not completely sociopathic, and actually ENJOY their adversarial relationship with broader society.

I'm less concerned about the accuracy of the tests than the accuracy of "Puerto Rican"; it's not a specific ancestral group. A Puerto Rican can be Spanish, West African, or Amerindian. Or all of the above. "Puerto Rican" is about as helpful as "Brazilian" or even Canadian. No

Puerto Rican's are a hodgepodge of a mixture anyways (basically what Malek said). Whole lot of slavery sex goin' on at that time.

Yeah.  There was recently a segment on (I believe) Radio Lab about this.  Or some other science podcast/radio show.  The categories they gave were all very general.  They were like Sub-Saharan African, North African, Middle Eastern, Asian, and European.  I believe they even pointed out that Hispanics don't get their own category (they belong to European).  They didn't mention any North/South American ones.  Maybe the don't have classifications for them or maybe the show just didn't go over em.

The whole tone of that particular show was that these things are basically inaccurate to the point of uselessness.
