Is the Golden Age of Sports Behind Us or Still to Come?
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in Sports
I think the golden age of sports is long over. The true legends of their sport played back in the 60’s and 70’s. Yes every sport has had real legends since then. Magic Johnson in basketball. Joe Montana in football. Wayne Gretzky in hockey. Ozzie Smith in baseball. I don’t know soccer so I can’t comment there. But in my opinion, despite all the recent greats, the golden age is long gone. -
What’s Your Opinion on Competitive Eating as a Sport?
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in Sports
Dumb as hell. It’s nothing but diabetes followed by a cholesterol induced heart attack waiting to happen. -
What sports do you think are still underrated by mainstream audiences?
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in Sports
Robot fighting. I absolutely LOVE Battlebots. It’s just awesome. -
That’s one that I would really be confused about. Especially since we’re one of six. And the traditions that we observe, especially AL. To see that end would be a heart breaker for me. No one else in all of sports has that same tradition. My boys have my support, win or lose. But that doesn’t mean I want them to move.

Are you more of an introvert or extrovert?
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in General Chat
Definitely an introvert. I hate having to deal with people. Being completely misanthropic, I just need people to just leave me the hell alone. -

Museums vs. Malls: Which Do You Prefer?
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in General Chat
Not to mention that everything in a mall is severely overpriced. Just because it’s in a mall doesn’t mean you have the right to rip people off. -
Would You Rather Be Surrounded by Nature or Technology?
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in General Chat
Absolutely nature. Something I want is a cabin off in the woods. No electricity or plumbing. A single room with a fireplace to cook in. All I would put in it is a small bed, table, chair and bookshelf. I would read by candlelight and watch the fire burn. It doesn’t even have to have a floor. The actual ground is perfectly fine with me. -
I’ve handled probably a dozen different species of snakes. Including venomous snakes. It’s no big thing to me.

People tell me that I have a thick southern accent. I’ve talked this way my whole life, so I don’t notice it. I guess growing up a redneck is why.

Hypnosis is a myth. I’ve been in a show at the county fair, and it was not real. She tried her hardest and did nothing to the point that the crowd turned on her. It’s pure bullshit.

Whales. I’m terrified of them. It’s not due to any kind of violence or anything like that. It’s their sheer size. A blue whale’s eye is the size of me if I’m curled up into a ball. Its tongue alone weighs more than a full grown elephant. Something that size just scares the shit out of me.

Do You Prefer Staying Indoors or Embracing the Rain?
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in General Chat
I LOVE the rain. I actually prefer a torrential downpour. I’m talking hurricane kind of rain. It’s so soothing that I just can’t get enough. I wish it would rain all the time but, alas, that’s just not feasible. -
Museums vs. Malls: Which Do You Prefer?
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in General Chat
For me, it’s a museum. No question. I like the peace and quiet, as well as being able to different artifacts and works of art. A dream of mine is to go to the Louvre and see the Mona Lisa. I’ve always admired Leonardo da Vinci. His was the greatest mind that has ever existed in the history of the human race. He was so far ahead of his time, that it’s just stunning. He designed airplanes and helicopters. Granted, his designs would never fly. But the concept for a man in the 1400’s to design shows a man who is a pure genius. And his art just shows that even more. There’s an art museum in St. Louis that I’ve always enjoyed. I find peace of mind when I’m there. -
My personal morals definitely impact my gaming. I’ll focus on RDR2 as that one is the best one to explain exactly what I mean. I would NEVER willingly harm a rat. There’s a long story behind that, which I’m not getting into. I have accidentally trampled them in my horse, and having hurt one, I want to cry. Another moral applies directly to who I’m playing as. When I’m Arthur, I always accept the woman’s offer to assist me when I take a bath. As John however, since he has a family, I will never accept. I absolutely hate cheaters in romantic relationships. I would advocate for then to be tied up and beaten with a barbed cat-o-nine-tails. One lashing for each proven experience of adultery. Every time they met is a lashing. If they actually had sex, that’s an extra 20 lashings. If they die from the lashings, oh well. Good riddance. Rather than buying a horse, I prefer to catch and tame wild horses. And I know exactly where to find almost every breed. Including rare ones like the Arabian (red chestnut, warped brindle, white), and Andalusian (perlino). Kentucky Saddlers and Tennessee Walkers are everywhere obviously. So my morals directly have an impact on my gaming experiences. What about you?

I don’t mean romantically. Just an NPC whom you love running into. Someone you have to get lucky enough to run into, or someone who you know exactly where to go to find them. For me it’s William in RDR2. The herb guy who asks you for different plants when you see him. I’m not exactly sure why, but I love that guy. You give him plants and he gives you a tonic that has that plant in it. The tonic has nothing to do with why I love him. Right now I’m building up my currant stock for the Herbalist 7 challenge. And currant is a bitch to find unless you already know where to look, and there’s not exactly a lot of it. Also, it regrows extremely slowly and i need 30 for this challenge. But he asked for currant, so I gave him currant. Like I said. I don’t know why, but I absolutely LOVE William.

What's Your Favorite Type of Cuisine and Why?
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in General Chat
Yes it is a meal, but how often do you eat eggs, grits, toast, and bacon for lunch or supper? What about biscuits and gravy? Waffles? Omelette? If that’s your lunch or supper, I envy you. -
I’ve gone sledding on tubes a lot. But I was always more partial to snowboarding instead. Tubing is fun because you have no control over it. It can easily go into a spin and go off the path.

People tend to think Mercury is the hottest planet in our solar system, but they’re wrong. Venus is the hottest planet due to a runaway greenhouse effect. Russia managed to land a probe on Venus that was able to and send a couple pics before it was destroyed by the Venusian atmosphere. The pressure is just short of being able to crush carbon into diamonds. It rains sulfuric acid, and the average temperature is 867°F (464°C). A day on Venus is longer than a year. It takes Venus longer to rotate once on its axis than to complete one orbit of the Sun. That's 243 Earth days to rotate once – the longest rotation of any planet in the Solar System – and only 224.7 Earth days to complete an orbit of the Sun. Although all planetary orbits are elliptical, Venus's orbit is currently the closest to circular, with an eccentricity of less than 0.01. Venus is unusual because it spins the opposite direction of Earth and most other planets. And its rotation is very slow. As already stated, it takes about 243 Earth days to spin around just once. Because it's so close to the Sun, a year goes by fast. The outer planets, Neptune and Uranus, are not just gas giants, but ice giants. Im going to focus on Neptune for a minute. Neptune has the most extreme weather in our solar system, with giant storms, high winds, and constantly changing clouds. The innermost regions of Neptune's mantle may have temperatures of 12,140°F (6,727°C) and pressures 6 million times that of Earth's atmosphere. At these conditions, methane may decompose into diamond crystals that rain down like hailstones. Neptune's average temperature is -353°F (-214°C). Uranus is different from all the other planets because it orbits the sun on its side. Uranus is the coldest planet in our solar system, with a mean temperature of -320°F (-195°C). Uranus is tilted on its axis by 98 degrees, which makes it appear to spin sideways. Scientists believe a large object knocked Uranus on its side long ago. Pluto isn’t the only dwarf planet in our solar system. In the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter is an asteroid that is large enough that it’s rounded and qualifies as a dwarf planet. Its name is Ceres. Should I continue, or does this satisfy the question?😈

Online Shopping vs. In-Store Shopping: Which Do You Prefer?
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in General Chat
It depends what I’m shopping for. Some things are ONLY available online. Like some of the shirts I have are pro-pitbull. Pitbulls are the greatest breed on earth. But they’re the most popular candidate for “boogeyman” in the dog world. But if I’m shopping for poptarts, then I’ll just go to the goddamn store. -
What's Your Favorite Type of Cuisine and Why?
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in General Chat
Does breakfast food count? if not, then this is a hard question to answer. I honestly can’t decide. I love Mexican, Chinese, and Italian. Sushi is good on occasion but not something I start salivating over. I thought about it for a fews minutes while writing this, and my answer has to be breakfast. -
Do You Like It When Artists Reinvent Themselves?
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in General Chat
I moved this topic to general discussion, because you mentioned painters as options. Thus, it opens the discussion to any kind of artist. Not just musicians. To answer the question at hand, sometimes writers still want to write, but want to distance themselves from previous works, for different reasons. Or they want to write something different from their previous works. So they adopt a pen name. For example, Stephen king sometimes uses the pen name Richard Bachman. Anne Rice uses the pen name A.N. Roquelaure. Sometimes writers and authors don’t like something about a work they previously published so they don’t want their new work to be associated with it. Since this was posted in music, I’ll answer on musicians. Sometimes an artist is in a band, and then chooses to go solo. Or they get fired from a band and then continue with music solo. Take Ozzy Osbourne for example. He was fired from Black Sabbath, for good reason I may add, and then continued performing solo and released some of his best work as a singer. Mama I’m Coming Home is one of my absolute favorite songs. You mentioned painters so I’ll respond to that too. Michaelangelo wasn’t particularly fond of painting, but when the pope commissioned him, he agreed to paint the Sistine Chapel ceiling. His real passion was sculpting. Granted he is best known for the statue of David moreso than the Sistine Chapel. Aside from simply enjoying it more, he also used sculpture to move away from painting. So sometimes, reinventing one’s self is a good thing. Other times it’s completely pointless. It all depends on the reason. -
Are there any child actors you’ve been impressed by?
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in Movies & TV
When he was little, Haley Joel Osment impressed me. The range of roles he was able to play was amazing for a child. His most iconic role is obviously The 6th Sense, but he was also able to do sitcoms. He was in the first season of The Jeff Foxworthy Show. If he’s able to pull off that kind of range before puberty, he was headed for one hell of a successful career. Unfortunately I’ve only seen him n a couple voice over roles since he grew up. -
AvP 9/10 I would have ranked it at 10/10, but it just starts off so damn slow.
