00:00.08DrodoEmpireWell, I shouldn't even say weapon ownership = murderers, far from it actually. But you know what I mean
00:00.17Zillafire101Ja.
00:00.55Wormy_The worst bite I've got was from a rabbit attack of all creatures
00:01.02Wormy_Well, it wasn't an attack
00:01.03DrodoEmpireOuch.
00:01.32Wormy_I was feeding my rabbit and it got my finger
00:01.46Wormy_Its teeth were like chisels
00:02.11Zillafire101A dog bit my finger once. I was being kind of an asshole though.
00:02.17DrodoEmpireI'd say one of the worst bites I sustained was when my bulldog leapt on top of me and bit my face when he got *really* excited during play. It hurt like hell but thankfully wasn't actually too severe.
00:02.31DrodoEmpireIt did leave a few scars on my face though
00:02.45Wormy_Well, my dog is half terrier and half collie, but the terrier side can make him snappy
00:02.50DrodoEmpireAh
00:03.05Wormy_So yeah, he has bit me a few times
00:03.36Wormy_One time I went to put him on a lead and I didn't realise he was eating food
00:03.41DrodoEmpireMy bulldog is actually very docile. :P He used to play a bit rough but now he spends most of his time sitting on the couch or knawing at his many bones. :P
00:03.58DrodoEmpireThat was a rare occurance thankfully; He never bit again
00:04.09Wormy_I actually chased him so fast I almost caught up with him
00:04.14DrodoEmpirelol
00:06.50Wormy_There has been a few occasions when I have successfully put off an attack
00:07.10Wormy_When a dog is acting aggressively and running up
00:07.25Wormy_I stand in its way and bark commands
00:07.50Wormy_Then one time I had to pick up my dog and hold him against a wall when a pitbull attacked
00:07.57Wormy_It was jumping on my back
00:08.09Wormy_But didn't bite
00:08.35DrodoEmpireOuch
00:08.39Wormy_Of course it wasn't after me
00:09.49Wormy_Still, even a small dog's bite can hurt
00:10.05Wormy_My friend was throwing sticks for my other dog, a whippet
00:10.17Wormy_Never even uttered a growl
00:10.42Wormy_well, he got his thumb caught in the jaw
00:10.53Wormy_And it tore off his thumbnail
00:10.58Wormy_And thats just playing
00:11.36DrodoEmpireWell shit. :L
00:11.41Wormy_But my friend is pretty hardccore and works with metal
00:12.03Wormy_So what he did, was fashion himself a metal thumbmnail and glued it on
00:12.47Wormy_To protect the thumb underneath
00:13.15Zillafire101That is hard core. Kudos to him.
00:13.37DrodoEmpire^
00:14.44Wormy_Well, the guy had suffered a accident on his motorbike when a car flung out its driveway without looking.  Almost losing his legs he has to wear this metal harness
00:15.43Wormy_So I guess he built himself his own style
00:18.24AdmiralPandadammit too late for the chimp discussion
00:18.34*** join/#sporewiki Knight_Alien (62cebba2@gateway/web/freenode/ip.98.206.187.162)
00:19.09AdmiralPandaas the resident biologist let me tell you the chimp loses because all their strength is in pulling straight down- you push their arms out to the side and they have nothing, you can easily push their arms behind their back and dislocate the joint
00:19.31Knight_AlienHi
00:19.41DrodoEmpireAdmiralPanda: Huh, never knew.
00:19.42Wormy_Yeah but has anybody been able to do that?
00:19.43AdmiralPandasure if a chimp is jumping on you and clawing like mad you're gonna feel it, but if you're even halfway competent you'll win in the end
00:19.53DrodoEmpireHi KA
00:20.04Wormy_A sudden chimp attack
00:20.15AdmiralPandaWormy_: No clue, but that's the basic biological breakdown
00:20.23Wormy_I mean if you are a harderned warrior maybe
00:20.34AdmiralPandano, even if you just keep your cool
00:20.50Wormy_You might have fast reactions
00:21.26AdmiralPandaone of my lecturers, while not exactly attacked by the chimp, did just that to remove a rather clingy little fellow
00:21.44Wormy_I have heard of people who've repelled big cats, lone wolves and even one case where a man (who happened to be a martial artist) kicked a bear in the nose and put it off
00:22.16AdmiralPandathe problem with big cats is they're usually designed for a one-bite kill, if you manage to stop them getting to your head or neck you're actually pretty good
00:22.20AdmiralPandaand lone wolves are pussies :P
00:22.48AdmiralPandaanyway the point I'm trying to make is, while chimps have a much greater pulling strength they aren't really that great at fighting a human
00:22.53DrodoEmpireRight
00:23.16Wormy_I've always been told they are the hungry and desperate (but perhaps less fed) ones
00:23.35Wormy_I actually agree with you on this
00:23.46DrodoEmpireSo basically, humans are better at actually sustaining a fight
00:23.51Wormy_I have yet to see any ape climb vertical walls
00:23.55AdmiralPandahumans are better at sustaining anything
00:23.58DrodoEmpire^
00:24.01AdmiralPandait's what we're designed for really
00:24.03DrodoEmpireTrue
00:24.32AdmiralPandain fact you can remove the really from it, endurance is actually what we were designed for
00:24.42Wormy_Like the way humans can climb nearly straight cliff edges.  And humans have stronger leg muscles so can bench press more weight than chimp or eve  gorillas
00:24.51TekDroidWe're a stubborn species. :P
00:29.50Wormy_So we can take away from this, if you can somehow stop a chimp pulling your limbs or face, distract a dog's jaw and wrestle it down, and stop a big cat biting your head and neck, you might get out relatively unscathed
00:30.14Wormy_Drodo:  Actually i forgot
00:30.21Wormy_I was chased by a horse once
00:30.38DrodoEmpireYou seem to get yourself into a lot of animal-related trouble. XD
00:30.50Wormy_Aye
00:31.15Wormy_But that was my scariest animal encounter
00:31.22DrodoEmpireProbably
00:31.35Wormy_I was actually chased a second time but it turned out that the horse wanted to say hello
00:31.49DrodoEmpireHah
00:32.00DrodoEmpireAt least it was friendly
00:32.01Wormy_I don't like horses
00:32.49DrodoEmpireWell, it seems they're out for your blood so I don't blame you. XD
00:33.14Wormy_heh

17:36.03odellWell I thought about the whole video.
17:36.26odellThe spanish version of the voices sound straight off silly.
17:36.42XhoI like how the French Spy goes "OH MY GOOOOOOOOOD" instead of "MON DIEEEUUUUU"

17:54.32odellSo I figured out that Endless Legends has two races that are the same. One has lost their history and what is left from it is how they spend a generation living in a giant metal clivization beneath the "magical" planet's surface.
17:56.21odellOne originates from space, is the same as the former, but lost everything as they tried to settle on the planet. In which they have to start from scratch and adapt to the same said mysterious planet.
17:56.47odellI find both the cases interesting.
17:57.08HachimanThat would be Vaulters and?
17:57.44XhoI might continue Sanguine Promenade if I can muster enough energy
17:58.33odellMezari, though it's a faction exclusive to the Founders pack.
17:58.52odellAnd it shares the same traits and units as Vaulters.
18:00.19odellBascially a reskin of the Vaulters.
18:00.40HachimanThat's dumb
18:00.45odellHm, the wiki page leads me to this. http://store.steampowered.com/app/249050/
18:00.47HachimanMore money paid for a reskin faction
18:03.01odellThe vaulters' reskin in ES was however upgraded to a unique faction.
18:03.09odellSo take it with a grain of salt.

21:04.39XhoMy family is too damn spread out for its own good
21:08.43ImpyDroidHeh
21:09.16ImpyDroidMy family stretches from Ukraine to Siberia and from Sweden to Kyrgyzia
21:09.22ImpyDroid*Kyrgizia
21:09.26ImpyDroidGit on my level
21:09.33XhoIndia to Canada
21:09.37XhoThat's the entire world hur
21:09.44ImpyDroid...Okay you win
21:10.14Tek0516I think my family is pretty Canadian. XD
21:10.37DrodoEmpire^
21:11.15ImpyDroidSorry
21:11.17ImpyDroidEh?
21:11.35Tek0516I know I have living relatives from the praries provinces to eastern Quebec, but not sure of family outside of Canada. XD
21:11.41ImpyDroidOkay that was rude hur
21:34.41XhoWell just figured out what kind of model guitar my 6 string Ibanez is
21:36.58Wormy_I have relatives in Ireland and the US.  But my ancestry is a mixture of Anglo-Saxon, Scandanavian, Russian, Irish, Polish (and when one goes far back enough Spanish)
21:37.31Wormy_Mostly cold and wet countries
21:37.50Wormy_I am very hardy to the cold and I also struggle to smile

22:21.02HachiTopAye
22:21.53XhoRecommended tags: "nope"
22:23.13Wormy_lol
22:24.02Xho"School is easy. It's like riding a bike.. Except the bike is on fire and you're on fire and everything is on fire and you're in Hell."         WAIT UNTIL ADULTHOOD BOYO
22:24.22XhoWhen I look back at it school and college was a cakewalk
22:24.48XhoOh god I'm actually old enough to reminisce about education
22:25.57XhoDon't want to frighten anyone in education of course
22:26.27Wormy_Thats why many do as much education as possible
22:26.38XhoCouldn't wait to get out of it personally
22:27.23XhoEven though everyone says to me "You're super intelligent why didn't you go and do languages in uni" quite frankly I hated college and I felt that uni would be no different
22:27.38XhoPlus my results weren't astonishing
22:28.19XhoI felt that education was too controlling on the mind of a student
22:28.38Wormy_For the meat eaters here http://imgur.com/gallery/NdN2JLP
22:29.01Wormy_It is for a large part
22:29.42XhoMany are willing to allow themselves to follow education's strict rule of "You must go to uni to succeed in life"
22:30.00XhoI find that experience absolutely dominates grades
22:30.36Wormy_Well, a lot of people leave uni can't get an actrual job in what they want to do.
22:30.48XhoIndeed
22:30.51Wormy_And a degree is two a penny
22:30.57XhoLife has a funny way of making things hard for people
22:31.09Wormy_To get onto a masters they usually expect more than just a degree
22:31.23Wormy_But lots of work experience
22:31.35XhoYeah
22:31.44XhoI wouldn't imagine they'd just let you in because you passed an exam
22:31.54XhoExams just show memory retention, experience shows knowledge
22:31.58*** join/#sporewiki TekDroid (~TekDroid@24.114.92.198)
22:32.11Wormy_Indeed
22:32.46XhoEducation is to me just a preparation for real life
22:33.24XhoIf you stay in it longer you might get further ahead in the preparation but those who have already been in real life for longer (and of course on the right track) would be ahead of you
22:33.39Wormy_If you want to get into science like I did you've got to take the higher education option though.
22:33.46XhoDefinitely
22:33.58XhoI don't think anyone can get in on sciences with experience alone
22:34.16XhoI suppose it depends on what branch you take in life
22:34.32XhoThough no branch gets you far without doing something for yourself
22:35.06TekDroidFor me I'm kinda legally required since you need a degree for the engineering certification. :P
22:35.14XhoFair enough hur
22:35.21XhoIntelligence in all honesty does not get you far in life
22:35.38XhoIt's actually contributing something towards yourself that does
22:35.57Wormy_Well, I don't think the way we think of intelligence is very realistic anyway
22:36.05XhoIndeed
22:36.12XhoVery well
22:36.20XhoAcademic fortitude then
22:36.49XhoMy father for instance has no qualifications and now he essentially runs a private train company
22:36.57TekDroidOur education system seems to correlate intelligence with multiple choice test scores. >.>
22:37.22XhoSure it's not the same for everyone in life but I don't see why someone in a similar situation shouldn't succeed in the same manner
22:37.37Wormy_I've actually had quite a strange university progression.  I haven't told everyone this but I've actually left my geology degree and I'm doing programming / interactive media / 3D graphics foundation degree instead.  I had a great time and learned a great deal doing geology but I made errors in my studies and messed it up.  It was very painful leaving it and the first year of my current degree was just awful
22:38.15Wormy_But this year I'm making real effort and hopefully will get on a computer science top up
22:38.20XhoWell do what you enjoy I guess
22:38.40XhoYou can always take on geology later if you want
22:39.16Wormy_My projects are still geology related.  I'm working on making 3D geological maps and applying what knowledge and skills I learned.  I also am studying programming for simulation aand scientific visualisation
22:39.21Wormy_Yes
22:39.43Wormy_So in effect I've merged my experience on the two degrees together
22:39.56Wormy_I'm enjoying it this year
22:40.28XhoThe more one thinks about life and success the less they think about money
22:40.52Wormy_The first year on the current degree wasn't good, as the lecturers were made redundant and they became lazy.  I hardly got feedback or taught anything worthwhile
22:41.06XhoWell that's no help
22:41.20Wormy_I feel cheated actually
22:42.02Wormy_But this year we have new lecturers and I've been able to concentrate on my own projects.
22:42.22Wormy_But yes the experience I can take away is worth a lot more than ticking boxes on an exam
22:43.08Wormy_I've learned how to organise and apply myself better, and I've learned how defend my own ground when the system doesn't care about you like last year
22:44.50Wormy_I had to leave my geology degree because I failed one module twice (the mapping).  They said I could come back next year but I'd still have to pay for student fees.  Well what choice did I have but to leave as fast as possible?

22:45.27Wormy_Serves me right, I should have demanded the help but I needed but I sat on top of it
22:45.40Wormy_*that I
22:46.19Wormy_But this year, I've not only overcome that I'm making 3D maps so I've exceeded what I failed in a sense

22:46.58Suppyayy
22:48.05Wormy_hi
22:50.04Wormy_I also get the odd feedback from my geology tutor as I email her my 3D maps and cross-sections
22:50.39Wormy_She doesn't have to but I feel the feedback is neccesary to improve my work anyway
