Gone with the Wind
Great Escape, The
Shawsank Redemption
Shining, The (1997)
Stand, The

And a few notes.

Resident Evil 4 is not on the list because I haven't seen it. While I recommend to see all James Bond movies, I seem to enjoy the mentioned two the most. I do like all Alien movies. The 1997 Shining I prefer for two reasons: 1) It was more true to the book, screenplay by Stephen King himself, and 2) Jack Nicolson gloomed a crazy feel from the start, but Steven Weber seemed a neat family man, so his going nuts was far more believable. Speed Zone is unofficially Cannonball Run III. And Pitch Black is like The Matrix - the first one feels cool and new, the sequels are masturbation material for fans.

How to lose a friend

Now, this all happened on Facebook. A stupid status (posted to annoy me), and subsequent comments.

Julie Stronghold:
I'M A BITCH !!! Unfortunately most women won't repost this. I'm a handful, I'm strong willed, independent, a bit outspoken and I tell it like it is. I make
mistakes, I am sometimes out of control & at times hard to handle. But if u can't handle me at my worst then u sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.
Repost if you are a BITCH!!!

Big bad wolf: Erm... What did we just talk about?

Julie Stronghold: just to annoy you ;-p

Ferris Bueller: good to know

Big bad wolf: Don't annoy me then.

Helen Kungfu: I reposted! I have no problem saying I am a 100% BITCH!

Julie Stronghold: But I'm a bitch, I luv to annoy ppl

Big bad wolf: Why, why... Marilyn pukes in her grave.

Julie Stronghold: Sure she would of luved me if she knew me.... So don't worry about it... And dead ppl can't puke (O_o)

Big bad wolf: It's a figure of speech, they can not spin either.

Julie Stronghold: really??? you're a smart guy, huh ;o) LMFAOOOOOOO

Lydia Gateway-Tohell: ?:) TY

Big bad wolf: I still don't like abusing quotes. Taking them out of context.

Julie Stronghold: ?"Dogs never bite me. Just humans." So bite me... I'll post on MY wall whatever I want!

Big bad wolf: But it is illogical.

Susan Teaparty: Back away slowly, Peeter. I think it could get dangerous around here. Hahaha!

Kori Sevkõht: Again... AWESOME!

Julie Stronghold: ?"If I'd observed all the rules, I'd never have got anywhere". I don't care about rules.... especially made up rules....

Big bad wolf: I don't know where it came from, but all rules are made up, except rules of nature. Ignoring rules results in anarchy, and anarchy does not work. So ignoring rules is illogical, and only an excuse.

Julie Stronghold: So just cuz someone/ somewhere said I can't use Marilyn Monroe quotes... Where is the logic in that??? Is there a death penalty on using her quotes?

Nancy Reavahe: Dont sound like a bitch SOUNDS LIKE A STRONG WILLED WOMAN TO ME

Julie Stronghold: OMFG, Are you for real??? Do you have some sick crush on a dead girl or something.....

Big bad wolf: What? I just respect Marilyn Monroe. I think it's demeaning to use her quotes to justify being whiny. I think she did not mean it that way at all.

Julie Stronghold: I'm not being whiny... I AM all the things said above and proud of it.... So the quote suits me right and I will use it with honor and pride :))

Big bad wolf: Okay, but what I don't like about it is stupid whiny teenagers associating the word bitch with it. I believe Marilyn meant it actually as she's just a human, because everybody makes mistakes, and a person does not deserve another person's good side, if the former person does not accept the latter's bad side. I believe in this context I'm also a "bitch". And, I did not say anything about you being whiny. Nor stupid teenager. It's just that this quote is so widely used in the wrong context, it sickens me.

Julie Stronghold: I totally agree... You're a bitch :o)) And a whiny one too .... But you're right about some of the stuff you're saying.... So I'm gonna let you be a bitch :o)) good night... I'm out like a light
11 hours ago

Jesus Houseghost: I´ve just read the main topic... And I think you´re wrong.. You´re not a bitch... You should say You´re THE BITCH... most women should take you as example... at least they´d be funnier :P

Chuck Noristüli: Did this post originally say at the end ''post this 5 times or you'll be dead by midnight''? poor marilyn
about an hour ago

Julie Stronghold: HEY... Don't get my started again, huh (O_O)

Big bad wolf: I am just glad someone seemingly agrees with me.

Julie Stronghold: boohoohoo.... Cry me a river, guys....

Big bad wolf: What are you doing? You honestly believe demeaning people by take their statements in an wrong context is something to take pride in? (Chuck liked my post)

Julie Stronghold: I'm just saying I can relate to Marilyn... I AM a hand full.. I AM strong willed... I AM independent And outspoken and I TELL it like it is.... I sure as hell made mistakes... And most of the time I'm hard to handle.... I'm NOT taking this statement in a wrong context.... All these things apply to me.... So why can't I use her quote?

Big bad wolf: Did she or did she not say in her quote that she is a bitch? (Chuck liked my post)

Julie Stronghold: strong willed = bitchy.... And I'm just sayin I AM A BITCH.... Didn't say she was one

Big bad wolf: Seems you don't understand the point at all. No one's doubting you are strong willed and all that... But you're still using her quote in the wrong context.

What if I'm really pissed on and vented my anger on you. You'll sarcastically say: "Yeah, dump all your load on me". And someone would start spreading rumours of you loving sperm all over your body. Would you be proud?

And strong willed is knowing what you want and not giving up on that. Bitchy is being whiny and uncooperative for nor actual reason.

Julie Stronghold: The chick is dead.... It's not like she's going to care anymore

Sylvia Longshort: Hey dude.......why are you complaining about she being a bitch? I love that she's like that and if she used some quote from some dead lady let her be ;-)))))))))))

Big bad wolf: She did not say she is a bitch, and that is the whole point. Being a bitch and taking the word as a compliment came in fashion maybe in the 90s. She did not meat it like that.

No one's doubting what Julie's character is or is not, she is just using somebody's quote in a demeaning manner.

Sylvia Longshort: It's not like she aware of that....geeeeeeeeeez.......Did you know the lady irl or what???? Get over yourself....AND FAST!!!!!!

Sylvia Longshort: and Biatch......don't get involved with marilyn lovers......those are strange ppl......whaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahaha

Big bad wolf: Oh, how much do you know about thinking, are you doing it at all? So you think if a person is dead, she can be abused?

Sylvia Longshort: who's abusing who here???? maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.......do you want me to send a naked pic of her??? roflrofl

Big bad wolf: Your smileys and your "humour" does not please me. I'm not defending Marilyn because I am a fan, I mean I'm not, I'm defending her because you're using her quote in a wrong context.

Julie Stronghold: Yeah, note to self... leave bitches with a sick crush on dead ladies alone in their own lil world :o))

Sylvia Longshort: who cares that you don't like my humour.....I don't live to please your ass......again....GET OVER YOURSELF!!!!

Big bad wolf: Alright, no need to cross over to immature insults.

Julie Stronghold: Gonna shove that wrong context up your fucking ass if you don't give this a rest.... Getting sick of this convo... It's pointless and boring

Big bad wolf: I agree, partly because it seems hopeless to make you see what exactly is that you are doing wrong.

Sylvia Longshort: yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn......

Sylvia Longshort: and stalking her status isn't wrong then???? hmmmmmmmmmm

Julie Stronghold: THIS IS MY WALL..... I frucking post whatever I like on here.... And if you don't like it... -----> that way to the exit!

Sylvia Longshort: ?------->maybe you find Marilyn there 2....whaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaha

Julie Stronghold: She's just outside the door... Go have a look

Sylvia Longshort: Happy b_day mr president.....whaaaaaaaaaaahahahaha

Julie Stronghold: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4SLSlSmW74

Sylvia Longshort: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Big bad wolf: So you think if I post about George Washington (who is dead) being a stupid ass worthless human scum, there won't be any negative comments towards me? Or if I, having American friends, post my opinion that 9/11 was fake, and done by US government, there won't be stupid, but nevertheless angry Americans commenting?

Sylvia Longshort: I don't know the dude and everybody has his own oppinion about 9/11.....It's your choice if you post something of that or not....

Sylvia Longshort: and I know the dude....Just not irl....

Julie Stronghold: Ever heard about right of free speech.... gfgi, smartass

Big bad wolf: What dude did you mean?

Sylvia Longshort: george washinton.....is he going to haunt us if we talk badly of him??? should I arrange an priest????

Big bad wolf: Well, yes, freedom on speech does mean freedom to publicly show your stupidity.

Julie Stronghold: excuse you??? Who are you calling stupid here????

Sylvia Longshort: who are you calling stupid dumb ass????? You're talking to my best biatch huh......and all that cuz of some dead lady.....you really need a life......douchebag

Big bad wolf: Well, what can I do anymore? You're clearly not going to understand your wrong here.

Julie Stronghold: CUZ I'M NOT WRONG!!!!!

Sylvia Longshort: I understand that you don't have anything better to do than giving her a hard time about something that doesn't even really matter......Don't you know anyone irl to defend?

Big bad wolf: You are too. You are using a quote in a way that it was clearly not what was meant. Did you not read my example earlier about you and the sperm?

Julie Stronghold: Arguing with a fool...proves there are two!! therefore this arguement is over and i'll leave u to be the fool.....topic closed!!!! you're bugging me...

Sylvia Longshort: euhm......and not only you.....geeeez.....choose your ca friends more carefully!!!!

Big bad wolf: You said there were two fools. Just to note, I am only one, that must mean...

Sylvia Longshort: that you count for 2.....now leave.....

Julie Stronghold: yeah, I'm a fool for accepting ur friend request..... But gonna fix that real quick

Big bad wolf: Defriending me won't change the fact that using MM's quote out of context is moronic. Even the fact that my irl best friend will say "I got owned by you" won't change it. He sometimes fails hard at life, too.

Outsider comment after reading this:
Good heavens. You might be better without her as a friend. At least for conversations.

Maio binion

Some friends of mine did a battle in Caste Age. They did a CTA with a rule - only for level 250 below. Now, a level 673 High King jumped in and did 40 million plus damage, my sweet girls got nothing. Now, what this high king did was clearly unjust to them, and was ignoring the rules.

However, and this is the part why the sisters* hate me, this rule of theirs was not the most effective... "in my opinion". Level numbers are overrated. For example, let's say two players never quest. They are level 200, meaning 1000 skill points. One puts 400 on attack, and 400 on stamina. The other spreads points equally, putting 200 on attack and stamina. P1 has now 400 attack, and 200 stamina, P2 has 200 attack, and 100 stamina. Theoretically, P1 does twice as much damage as P2. So, I think setting a level limit is less effective than to put damage limit.

In short, level number is not necessarily relevant. And I feel very strongly about this, as I have 500 defence, which means I have enormously small attack compared to others at level 360. Okay, facts. My attack is 263; my friend's attack is 400+, and he is level 241.

The rule of "250 and below" can be heavily abused. In extreme example, if someone really wants, that someone can make an account, never play except to pray, and boom!, in three years - level 1 player with 200 stamina and 750 attack.

And now, especially to those who constantly bash me for having this useless, worthless, utter scum, otherwise known as defence. Firstly, my comment on the topic:

And to answer the second question... People with brains do need defence when attacking. At least in monsters with party health, defence, or shield. You do know that your attacks have a bigger amount of points when your attack is bigger? Well, no reason to think defence points are related to the amount of pigeon poop on the roof... Sorry, I have no proof, but rumour has it, there's a secret threshold, where your defence amount gets considerably better. Azriel's is supposedly 300.

You could say, with tears of ever so sweet love in your eyes, that you, the "attacker", have me, the "defender", but the truth is, you can't do anything without defence.

When you go to a snowball fight, it is most probably cold outside. You need to have a good throwing arm, but you also need to defend your body against cold. Normal people have clothes for defence against cold. But if you're going outside with your arms stretched out, and say to me: "I chose to have no clothes, cover my naked body with yours"... How gay are you?

And also, the proof (but I'm sure disbelievers will not start believing), in a form of message log:

Peeter:

1 second ago:
Peeter cast deflection on the party for a considerable amount of [50,968] points points!
13 seconds ago:
Peeter cast deflection on the party for a massive amount of [121,555] points!
6 minutes, 28 seconds ago:
Jolla cast deflection on the party for a minimal amount of [9,119] points!
6 minutes, 40 seconds ago:
Jolla cast deflection on the party for an adequate amount of [18,358] points!

I'm not bragging. Please tell me how much energy you used and what is your defence?

Jolla:
My defence is just a couple points shy of 200 right now. The first one was for 20 energy and the 2nd was for 10.

Peeter:
Thank you. My first was for 40 and the second was 20, and it seems it was not fully used. I have read rumours that there is a threshold where your defending ability gets better. Whether it's true or not, I wanted proof that high defence matters. I have 503 defence, and for the same amount of energy, I did deflect much more.

Thank you, you were helpful. And Gehenna is deflected.

Jolla:
Yes, the rumours are true. There are 3 thresholds that I know of. The first is at 200, once you reach it your defending ability will basically double on serpent battles. The next is at 400, I believe, and gives severe boost for the smaller world battles like Dark Legions. I don't know where the 3rd is but it is for everything else. Sadly there aren't any for attack (mine's just over 1200). I'm heavily built for PvP so I tend not to defend for much in monster battles, defence and energy are my 2 lowest stats (not counting health). The only monsters I do well on are hydras.

Peeter:
What's your source?

Jolla:
[A name] is the only one I can remember off the top of my head but I have heard it from many people. Most of which are well above your and my level.

Ohh... Memories

Peeter:
Oh... My mouse stopped working.
Diana:
There are always keyboard shortcuts.
Peeter:
Not for everything, sadly.
Diana:
Nope, not for everything.
Peeter:
I have batteries for that.
Diana:
I didn't know it was a wireless one. I'm used to mouses being attached to the computer and not needing batteries.
Peeter:
I use two computers most of the time. Helix & Mimosa. Both have optical mice.
Diana:
I didn't know that. About the mice. I use the one with my laptop. Any desktop I use has a wired mouse.
Peeter:
Oh, sorry. I don't know why I used the wrong term again. All my mice are optical, those two are wireless.
Diana:
I understood that, you were correct.
Peeter:
I was, yes, but in addition of being optical, they were also wireless.
Diana:
Ah. They are two different things, aren't they? Optical means it doesn't come with a ball, it has a laser to tell how its moving.
Peeter:
Exactly.
Peeter:
I am not sure though... The computer that is currently in the kitchen might have a "ball" mouse. That computer has Windows 2000. It was bought in 2002 maybe. It was discharged from work this year.
Diana:
Might still have a ball mouse. 90's for sure, early 2000 is iffy. Depends how much was spent originally on the computer.
Peeter:
Hold on.
Peeter:
Yes, it's a ball mouse. But it's got scroll. And of course, not USB, but PS/2.
Peeter:
Do you know PS/2 is not the oldest? I have even used serial mouse. I bet you'd be confused if someone came to you with a serial mouse and a 1.44" floppy. Have you got 1.44 floppy drive?
Diana:
Excuse me? We used to have a Commodore 64. I'm used to a 5 1/2 inch floppy.
Peeter:
Oh. For old time's sake, I'd want a 5½ floppy drive. I even have some 5½ floppies. I have 1.44 floppy drive on that 2002 computer. I also had one on my sixth I bought in 2002, my first one I bought with my own money. I sold it for $2 US two years ago. Would have given it away, but we settled for a symbolic price.
Diana:
I have an external 1.44 that hooks up by usb port. My dad bought if for me to go with my first laptop. I needed something to transfer data from my laptop to other computers to print. At the time USB keys were really expensive for a small amount of space. This was 8 years ago now. The CD drive that came with it was not a R/W drive.
Peeter:
You know, at my university... I was one of the only ones to have homework on CDs... Later on I just uploaded it.
Peeter:
It's sad though. Teenagers and those who are toddlers now won't even know floppies. I remember I brought a 70 MB game to school... on floppies. It took like 40 floppies. I didn't have that many, so we brought it in in parts. And, of course, my hard disc space was 1.2 GB, so not to spare. I had deleted the RARs (RAR can pack in parts), and of course, at school, it appeared that one floppy was fucked, and thus I had to go home, redo the RARs and hope the one to be replaced fit to the ones I've made earlier.
Diana:
Sounds like a lot of work for just one game. Hope it was worth it.
Peeter:
Fun time. Annoying then, but a fond memory
Diana:
I need to go to bed. It's getting late for me.
Peeter:
Bye
Diana:
Bye.

To all my Estonian readers, this conversation actually was in English. It would have been lame to translate, if it were in Estonian.

The White Death

I assume every Castle Age player knows The White Death. And for the last 48 hours Castle Age has done goofed. The White Death, The Whirling Death, and the maintenance notice, which may very well be 404 CA style.

Think about it, not so hard to comprehend. It may not be that they put that note there when they truly update, it might be just their default error message. Why else would this note appear randomly, and let you play in between?

Some of us didn't get to log on once, like Dawn, who even apologised to me personally, how cute. Me, I got in, but maybe 40% of times. But I was compensated, read below.

Yesterday, my stamina was full. I attacked, until I had 60 stamina left. Suddenly, I had some 270 stamina. I hope the hits I made both times counted, in which case I got a free refill.

But that's not all. I prayed for Azeron, and when I clicked, The Whirling Death came on. I remembered my accidental free refill, so I kept clicking... And by the way, once I got 12/10 demipoints from PvP battles...

Anyway, I just noticed this now... I had 340 max stamina before praying. And now... I have 356!

356 max stamina, this is permanent.

However, I'd still like more compensation. Many of us have battles, and it pisses us off when they fail by no fault of our own.

Ruubiku kuubik

I think Castle Age fucked up. In the past, you could tell by the nice weapons who has been in a lot of monster battles, because the best weapons were hard to get. But now they made Vincent, who is too easy to get epic loot from, and he drops the strongest ordinary equipment. And so everybody who's in a numerous guild has the best equipment in the game.

In the past, to get the best ordinary sword in the game, that is, not counting Soulforge, Devotion, and Meat Carver, you had to get serious activity on many Alpha Mephistopheles', because Hellblade's drop chance was only around 10%, but now they made a weapon that is stronger than Hellblade, and far too easy to get.

Alpha Mephistopheles was introduced on July 15th, and I have no Hellblade. Vincent was introduced October 28th, and I have 3 Exsanguinators already.

Tartu Kaubamaja

Nice salesclerk do exist. I was shopping for Duran Duran's Greatest Hits. At the checkout the clerk suggested I buy the special edition, which came with a DVD, and was a lot cheaper. Today I was shopping for Kraftwerk, the same clerk was already "beeping" the items, but then I remembered it's going to be a bonus night on Friday, where items would be 10% off. I asked if he could hold the items for me to purchase on Friday, and he said okay.
