According to the original and therefore only accetable usage i'm:

a. Lacking the power of speech. Used of animals and inanimate objects.
2. Archaic Exposed to harm, injury, or evil: "The town ... now lies obnoxious to its foes" (John Bunyan).

Also, why are you using Obnoxious? It's an uncorrected form of obnoctious.
Cute.

What are you trying to say? If you want to accuse someone of something don't be a coward. Either say it, so it can be proven or disproven, or don't say it at all.

awfully defensive arent you?
im not the only person that thought the last time you banned me was over the top

Guys, we're straying from the main point, that an established term with a clear usage and purpose can't just be changed out of convenience and laziness.

After all, this is a semantic argument to begin with. If you were trying to argue something else then it would be different.

It seems that switching from mass market consumerism to specialised niche marketing didn't stop The Dark Kingdom's methods from being any less batshit insane.
Poor Naru :(

Wait, now you're going off the rails and accusing me of banning people I argue with? Wow. This is disgusting and uncalled for. Either you misunderstood why someone was banned, or you are making up shit to insult me. This is now more serious than the rest of the discussion because my credibility is being called into question here and that will not stand.

How to explain... someone once linked me a thread about you discussing with a guy about DS graphic. You ended up posting pics about DS games with good graphic and banning the dude. I even remember a couple of members being shocked by that.
It could it be that i am wrong. In that case, i'll apologize without second thoughts, in PM and both here without problems.

But at least i hope you understand from where my fear come from.

What am I being defensive about? I'm asking you to be upfront if you want to accuse someone. Don't beat around the bush. You are still being evasive. You want to play the victim, and make me look bad, but that's not going to fly. I ban people for valid reasons and everyone here knows that very well. If you want to keep this up, you know where it is headed.

1. Gay has both definitions in the dictionary.
2. Hipster is defined as someone who follows the latest trends, not a lover of jazz. It just happens that the last time the word was commonly used was back in the jazz times.

The word gay evolved through times. No one used it for homosexual people originally. Who uses gay for happy anymore?

Well, to be fair... convenience and laziness is what sometimes have made certain vocabulary to evolve.

obviously im talking about the fact that we have many arguments
and they always result in bans
even when you ask for impossible evidence

Persistently lashing out in an abrasive manner does nothing to substantiate any of your viewpoints. Unfortunately your further ventures into the concepts of etymology and semantics simply illustrate just how little you know. Perhaps your own inadequacies are the reason you've come to throw around the term "Mary Sue" in relation to any character who happens to be likeable and/or have positive attributes.

Hey, you told me to check the dictionary. Make up your mind!

Which is why I just ordered five Atelier games from Amazon the other day. Gotta fill the time somehow. ;P

Don't let him scare you. The alchemy is really engaging and the games do a good job of providing you with incentives to experiment and to try and optimize what you do. The battles aren't the most amazing thing by themselves, but they become rewarding because you start to see the results of some of your alchemy appear in the equipment and the items you make when you use them in battle.

^^^that's subjective
This too.

Language is always evolving is always a terrible argument. People don't bother to look things up themselves so in the end they only learn half the facts from hearsay and are oblivious to it until someone corrects them. Unfortunately they themselves spread false facts and thus others end up being in the wrong. See also the words Weeaboo and meme.

That's true though.....

This sounds like the right time to reply with "that's so sick."

Yes, I have a sickness. Love sickness! XD

I will! I love all 3 PS3 entries so I'me going back to the PS2 entries and getting Atelier Iris 1-3 and Mana Khemia 1-2 to catch myself up.

Actually I also bought a used copy of Atelier Annie from GameStop the other day. So make that 6 Atelier games.


o(^▽^)o. So good!

I thought you were talking about the PS3 games. I feel pretty silly now... Well, I can at least say that I've played Atelier Annie and I liked it.
 
Naruto Shippuden Road To Sakura (ep 271)

The best part of the episode wasnt even canon I think, it was just a recap of the war stuff with no audio from the participants except Naruto and Bee, but I couldnt help but laugh when Naruto did this pose and the lines he was saying with Bee.

Really felt like a huge advertisment for the movie with
Sakura's parents

Hidamari Sketch × Hoshimittsu

Okay, this was great. Miyako is still the best Hidamari and I can't wait to see Hidamari Sketch × Honeycomb.

Pdot, I wasn't aware of our hidden bond.


i thought this place was the funnest place in GAF

now all i see is bickering and anger and sadness

Wait, so you don't think these back-and-forths are funny?



Here's a more important semantic question:

whatisawesome.jpg

"[John Smith],...you're awesome."*

*Say to people that fit the definition in spirit (also within accordance to the Truth) and not by worldly standards such as houses, money, amount of spouses/groupies, ranches owned, video game consoles owned, anime watched, being Reggie Fils-Aime, being Coachie, etc
 
I'll never beat this on hard let alone insane. Yet I did beat EBA completely. The first Ouendan is just a pain now thanks to the non skippable intros.
I'm proud to have completly destroyed all high scores on every difficulty of the 2 ouendans and EBA .

I had to change my Ds screen afterwards but the sheer amount of fun was wroth it

Felt? It was, just as every other media from the Naruto franchise that's released this weeks. But you know that already, don't you?

This has to be the first time I've been truly disgusted at one of Reinhard's plans. What the hell Reinhard you used to be cool :(
But that's how siege operations always worked and probably will always work.
