Sounds like a good night
Boy was it! I didn't even lift anything, all I did was flop down on my couch when I got home, could've been that, I don't know.

Morning fellow beast coasters.

Had a weird ream last night that Mrgoodwil got banned for making a bad Street Fighter 4 OT
Made me feel a little better about not having Smash yet.

What a mysterious ream...
:p

Dangit, you edited it out :p

Sup y'all! How's everyone doing today?

I woke up with a searing pain in my back after getting drunk last night. That was fun. It's gone now for the most part.
Bought D4 and downloaded KI free edition.
I'm good, little tired. I just need to get an xbone and I can play the D4 I bought earlier, how does KI free work, you don't access all the characters right?

Morning.

That's a strange dream, but whatever helps I suppose.

I started the game when the download was 22% complete so I don't know exactly what you get at 100%. It has the basics: Jago, one stage, offline vs, fighting against an AI.

The other characters you have to buy, don't know about the stages.

It seems Jago is the only character for free, but it has all games modes. Not sure about stages either.

Good morning everyone. Still playing Smash and ORAS.
 
I'm in the same boat as Woolie where I want to watch Korra but I need to watch Avatar first.

So much crap to watch.

Hm. Well, you could actually watch Korra first if you wanted. There will be some references you wouldn't understand, but it is a self contained story.

I'd still watch Avatar first. You need to see the cactus juice episode.

Never said that, but I guess I'm not comfortable with kids knowing about sex and sexuality at young ages though.

It's just me I guess.

Is Korra a Teen show?

Well it's not like it's for 3 year olds and they show hetero kissing. It is more of a teenager show yeah.

I plan to some day, preferably with friends but sadly I don't think I have any who are interested in it. I don't like to recommend things I've never personally seen either.

You don't have to do it, you should do it. The Last Airbender is far better in terms of quality. Korra is a much weaker show.

I've heard that a lot, but as I said above I don't like skipping things even for those "Oh cool" moments.

What world do you think we live in? :p

Watch it by yourself then, its what I did.

I'll rather them be exposed to sexuality, than violence. Sexuality is a natural product, and I would rather them know that it's nothing to be ashamed of, which is easier imprinted at a young age.

Ah ok.

I don't have any issue with violence or kissing for teenaged shows. I thought Avatar was a kids show, not a show for tweens/teens.

My mistake.

I'll rather them be exposed to sexuality, than violence. Sexuality is a natural product, and I would rather them know that it's nothing to be ashamed of, which is easier imprinted at a young age.

If given a choice, I'd prefer to expose kids to it as well over pushing violence, but there seems to be so many mixed messages on how to properly approach the subject with the impressionable.

I mean, I grew up on Batman and Spiderman Animated Adventures, all of which included plenty of stylized violence and innuendo.
 
Well how young is too young? I was pretty familiar with sex and sexuality when I was like 7 or 8.

Europeans have wildly different standards when it comes to sexuality than Americans. When I lived in Germany, I was shocked on how truly different the culture around sex is.

I didn't have a proper sex ed class until I was 16. My parents never had "the talk" with me until I was 18.

Sexuality in the US is different than how it is in Europe, I presume.

They show not gay kisses on kids show
Then they can show gay kisses on a kids show its fine, let em know that its ok.

Kids shows or teen shows?

Wow, really? I didn't think the UK was much different. I never had a Sex Ed class, although I missed it myself. I was supposed to get one back when I was around 11 or 12. I still knew about it from media and the internet though

Depends on parents. I never took Sex Ed nor did my parents tell me a single thing. I learned everything completely on my own and that's probably why I still am the way I am, for better or worse.

The lack of sex ed in US is appalling, especially in the southern US.

Frankly as a female, YOU NEED TO KNOW THESE THINGS because creepy idiots start hitting on you as early as 12/13 and if you don't know anything you can't even tell the difference between who is being nice/okay and who is trying to take advantage.

Growing up with just my mum and sister kinda gave me a better outlook on those things.

I don't know if my experience is indicative of sexuality in the US, so take from that what you will.

I went to Catholic school from year 7 up until university, so I don't know if it was the education system choosing to not discuss sex or the fact I went to an all boys High School, but yep sex was not talked about often in my experience.

We talked about hanging out with girls and going on dates, relationship stuff, but rarely was sex openly discussed.

Shit, I didn't know about porn until I was 13-14.

Everything, its ok.
Its ok letting kids no that's its ok to like person. There are points where its too far, obviously they can't start having sex on screen. But a kiss between people who feel for one another is fine. Whether they be different or the same gender.

Ah, I still remember my first experience with it. Hentai, oddly enough. My friend showed a site devoted to DBZ. I was never the same again

Wow, I have the exact same opinion on Lucas and Ness as Pat.

Love Lucas, Ness not so much. I DON'T KNOW WHY. Lucas just became my main like that.

They play completely different, even though they have similar movesets. That's why.

I also prefer Lucas over Ness.

I had sex ed class when I was 12, 14 and 16.
I have never had the talk with my parents, I don't know if they assumed that I already knew, or they don't care.

I almost had the talk with my mum, but I was just "Nah I'm good." My mums pretty liberal with a lot of things
