  1. That's "black" as in black-coloured pigment (made by mixing high amounts of red, blue, and yellow paints or cyan, magenta, and yellow inks together). Black is just something that can reflect no light, and something really dark reflects very little light. But real black does exist... it's everywhere that there is no light (although there are no objects that are "black"). That's how the red / green / blue computer screen works... light up the red 0%, light up the green 0%, light up the blue 0%, and the result is black (although it's not truly black because the screen itself has a colour to begin with).
  2. There certainly are colours that we cannot see... infrared and ultraviolet, as CGEire said. Other animals can see in infrared / ultraviolet... also cameras can "see" in infrared. That's how night vision works. But you can try for yourself, take a TV remote and aim it into your cell phone's camera and start pressing buttons on the remote and you'll see flashes of light appear on the phone's screen.
  3. If he lets you watch movies involving guns and read books involving guns then maybe you could use that to convice him, since video games are just another entertainment medium. That, or he'll stop letting you see the movies as well, lol
  4. I have an old account... nothing to do with fan fiction, but it's on the MMORPG Kingdom of Loathing. I stopped playing, then a few years later signed on again. Which is odd because normally they delete your account after a month or so of not using it...
  5. Less than 1... but I was not busy with any other things. The only video game I "played" was the Threatre Mode on 358 Days / 2.

  7. I rode one of them like the one in the bottom picture (with the inflatable stuff all around it). I fell off after just a few seconds... probably because it was made of plastic and extremely slippery. And it didn't have anything to hold onto, from what I remember.
  8. Last part is completely untrue. I have never smelled a beer that smelled even remotely good or a strong liquor that did not smell like rubbing alcohol.And I can think of very few examples of foods that people think taste good but think smell bad... perhaps beer is one of these exceptions. Either way, I have no desire to find out. That's personal opinion... obviously some people like it or there'd be no market for it. I would expect that it tastes similar enough to the alcoholic versions of the same drinks for them to willingly label it as such. That's an excuse for not purchasing any unnecessary item. If you can't afford something or simply don't want to pay for it then why waste the money? Because it tastes good? So does lemonade and it is much cheaper than alcohol.As for the possibility of the price dropping below the others... I highly doubt it. Alcohol has always been more expensive than a drink such as soda. It's simply more expensive and more difficult to produce. Even if it was cheaper, you are still missing my point. I have no interest in drinking beer or liquor or any sort of alcoholic beverage. Even if it tastes great and was incredibly cheap and had absolutely no harmful effects at all then there's no need to try it. You can say that about practically anything. Like, Mountain Dew. Someone has had soda before (or any drink for that matter) and then chooses to never try Mountain Dew. Yes, it tastes different than other drinks... maybe even better. That doesn't mean that everyone needs to try Mountain Dew or will eventually try Mountain Dew at some point before they die.
  9. I don't know of any off the top of my head, but I know that http://www.jisho.org is a good dictionary (for if you need to lookup the meaning of a kanji)If you are trying to learn kanji then here's a piece of advice -- learn what the characters mean (and how to pronounce them) in context rather than memorizing the symbols themselves. Most kanji has at least 2 readings (the on reading (based on old Chinese) and the kun reading (based on old Japanese)... and many characters have multiple ways it can be pronounced for each reading). An example of this is the kanji "日", which can be read as either "ka", "hi", "bi", "jitsu", "nichi", or something else, all depending on context. But even without knowing how to "read" the kanji you can still take a good guess at what it means. For example, seeing "日" somewhere then I can take a good guess that the word has something to do with the sun or day, even if I have no idea if it should be pronounced as "ka" or "hi" or "bi" or "nichi" or whatever.
  10. Next half of the sentence: but I can take a good guess based on the smell . . .As I said, liquor smells horrible. Beer smells horrible. Usually (but not always) smell is a good indication of taste. And I have tasted non-alcoholic versions of some of the drinks (specifically wine and champagne), and (assuming that they did a good job mimicking the flavour) there was nothing all that great about them. And you missed my last point altogether... more than 9 times out of 10 I drink just plain water. If I'm not already drinking other drinks such as sodas all that often then what reason do I have to even start drinking any sort of alcoholic beverage, which costs nearly twice as much as soda / lemonade / Kool-aid / whatever? That's like going up to a person who has no interest in watching any TV or movies and saying "you should start watching documentaries".
  11. Oh, the most annoying game that I've played (and I completely forgot about this) has got to be Epic Mickey. The game itself looked decent to say the least. But when I actually got to playing it I simply had to stop. It was the worst camera that I had ever seen in a game... it was so bad that I chose to stop playing the game right at the very beginning.
  12. What I don't get is how these people were poisoned by the alcohol rather than the other toxins in the hand sanitzer... Alcohol that people are not supposed to drink is denatured, as in, the companies purposely make it lethal so that people don't drink it (this is done so that stuff like hand sanitizer and rubbing alcohol do not have to be taxed as alcoholic beverages) Not true. You can't generalize all people. I'm old enough to drink and have never drunken alcohol and never plan on ever drinking alcohol. For several reasons, some being:- there's always the risk of ending up drunk or addicted - the beverages simply don't taste good (I don't know how they taste since I've never had them, but I can take a good guess based on the smell of liquor (which is disgusting and smells like rubbing alcohol) and the smell of beer (which also stinks but has a different scent)... and I've had non-alcoholic wine / champagne before and they really don't taste any better than juice or Kool-aid...) - the fact that it's a waste of money... it's even more expensive than sodas which are already expensive if you buy them a lot. And I don't even drink that much soda so why should I drink any alcohol?
  13. I had a similar attitude (and I really liked the gown, lol)And now, looking back on it, that is the perfect attitude to have. Because graduation really isn't all that important so long as you graduate. Yeah, twelve years are finally over... but now another twelve are just beginning (well, usually not another twelve, lol). Just be glad it's finally over... until next fall... The best part of the entire graduation ceremony is the cap toss. If you don't get a cap toss then throw your hat anyway!
  14. If you don't care for Dragon Ball Z then you might not like YuYu Hakusho. It's the same sort of thing, being fighting-based, referencing the afterlife (and a similar concept of the afterlife with King Yama and all that), somewhat muscular super-humans, and the main characters / main enemies all use ki / energy blasts and stuff. The main characters both die and come back to life in the beginning of the series... and there's even a highly skilled black-pointy-haired villain who the main character fights and defeats at the beginning of the series who later ends up teaming up with him in both serieses.Although it is different in other aspects so maybe you would like it...
  15. That is true, but I doubt it was beyond their skills (or the system's technical limitations) to do. Also it doesn't take up any more space than an animation with just 2 moving legs... if anything then it would take up slightly more processing but even that I doubt. What is so obvious about the Mushu thing? There was a Mulan world in Kingdom Hearts Ⅱ...
