Posted by sirhax0r I'm going to say this exactly once more, people. Paradoxes do NOT destroy the universe. They especially do not destroy the multiverse, since they can't even occur in a multiverse system. sirhax0r is correct that going back in time to preform a specific action will result in a paradox... IF there is, in fact, a single universe and it can be altered, and if you are successful. To use the example of killing baby Hitler... If you go back in time and kill baby Hitler the timeline is altered so that you no longer have a reason to go back in time and kill baby Hitler, so the timeline is altered and you go back in time to kill baby Hitler, etc, etc, ad infinitum. Eventually the minute changes along the way to add up in such a way that you are not able to successfully go back in time and kill baby Hitler. You might make the trip and fail, you might die before you can make the trip, the invention of the time machine may be delayed until after you die, you might not be born in the first place, etc. On the other hand, if there is only the one universe and it cannot be altered ("predestined"), then the result of any trip to the past would already be present before the trip is made. Thus, since Hitler did not die as a baby, you would be incapable of killing baby Hitler. You might go back in time with that intention, but since we know it did not happen, you will be unsuccessful. You might, however, be able to travel back to April 30th, 1945, and somehow force Hitler to simultaneously bite a cyanide capsule and shoot himself in the head, but you'd have to be very sneaky with however you plan to preform that action, since while history reports that that is how he died, there's no record of any unknown person forcing him to do so. If it's a multiverse, you can go do whatever the hell you want. It won't change anything for us, or the millions of people that died because of Hitler. It'll just make an additional universe where those changes have occurred. |

Yes, you should go to sleep, because you're just spouting gibberish.
A multiverse is not all in one. It is all in infinitely many variations. It does not "originate" from anything. If it is how things are, it is how things have always been. From the theoretical "beginning of time", infinitely many universes splitting infinitely many times for each and every minute possible outcome of each and every minute event. Paradoxes do not exist in a multiverse system, as any trip to the past, just like any other action, just creates more branches of causality... more universes. A temporal paradox is only possible if there is, in fact, not a multiverse, but only a single universe which can be altered. The paradox occurs when the person goes back in time and preforms an action which alters the universe in such a way that would negate his ability to have preformed the action. Since he cannot preform the action, the universe is not altered is that manner, and he is thus able to preform the action. The universe is therefore stuck in a seemingly infinite loop of switching between the "original" series of events and the "altered" series of events. However, there are uncountably many events throughout the universe between the point in time where the traveler arrives in the past and the point in time that they may or may not have left from. Because of this, the universe is not switching between two possible causalities, but two sets of infinite possible causalities... Until, that is, it hits a possible causality of the "original" set where the time traveler did not preform the action that caused the paradox in the first place (most likely through inability, but possibly by choice), or one of the second set where some other events allowed the time traveler, or some other time traveler, to preform the action. In other words, the paradox causes the universe to become unstable, but a stable causality will be the end result. |

Jay (as in the letter or the name) Day (as in a 24 hour period) Viss (like miss or kiss or piss etc. but with a V). |

It's more an issue of how the Japanese pronounce the sound which we frequently transcribe as "R". It's more towards the front of the mouth, almost like an "L" that doesn't quite connect.
See this video at about 1:16 for proper pronunciation of Hiryuu: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdALXCgbKXs |

Posted by Mystery Gourmet Too much Konata Let's see what I've got lying around... By me (completely): (it should be noted this was one of the first animated gifs I made, and when I made it this was still relatively fresh) Scene from old Story Forum story. Sig on another forum. Made, uploaded to show, ended up making a YTMND of. Funny idea with my character. Old sig for TMNT-related forum. Old avatar for I dunno where. WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! Old avatar at forum that allowed ridiculously large avatars. Current avatar. By me (rip/whatever): GAME AVER (title or avatar, forget which) GAME AVER AGAIN (same as above) This is deplorable! (fixed something for Iggy) NEWCOMER (except that I removed that pause, old sig on another forum) (I felt like ripping it) Not by me, but for some reason I uploaded it: (old sig on another forum) |

There's a forum for computing.
And the problem is just that you've hit the Insert key. Hit it again to switch it back. |

Demonoid:
Uploaded: 21.83 GB Downloaded: 15.46 GB Ratio: 1.41 (Updated once a day) BoxTorrents: Down 66.03GB Up 86.08GB Ratio 1.304 Those are hardly the only places I download stuff from, but the others don't keep track of these things. I almost always go for at LEAST a 1.5 share ratio on all torrents. Sometimes there's just not enough demand for that to work out. |

Currently, nine.
Bonk's Adventure - I never had a TurboGrafx16 (who did?), so I figured I'd give it a try. Bomberman '93 - It's Bomberman. Duh. Battle Lode Runner - It's Lode Runner. Duh. Sonic the Hedgehog - Never owned a Genesis, but always loved Sonic. The first game's not that great, but it will do until they get one of the better ones on there. Gunstar Heroes - Win on a stick. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past - My favorite game of my favorite series. Yes, I already own a copy for the SNES and for the GBA. It's worth having three legal copies of (not to mention however many roms I have of it). Super Castlevania IV - One of my favorites, but I never owned a copy of it. MarioKart 64 - One of the three N64 games I got the same christmas as the N64 itself... Was stolen some years later. Now I have it once again! Starfox 64 - Another of the three N64 games I had from the beginning. I still have this one, but considering it's one of, if not THE most replayable game for the N64, it's worth having a more accessible copy of. |

Sony.
Personally, the name on the box is the least important manner in purchasing a computer. My next one will probably be custom. |

Well, I'd consider the three deciding factors to be the components, the price, and the brand. Obviously, these are very inter-related. |

I was busy not even visiting the board. For at least a week. |

Warning: Here be spoilers.
Also these, to be taken with a grain of salt since they're kinda blurry and both from the same person: Here and here |

Wait... "What anime do I watch" or "What anime do I consider your favorites"? They're two very different questions!
I'll instead answer the question "What anime am I watching?", since it both makes sense and is easy to answer. Ranma 1/2 (part-way through season 6 now) Betterman Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei Club to Death Angel Dokuro-chan 2 Shakugan no Shana II Getsumen to Heiki Mina ... And there's a few others that I'm in the middle of, but not actively working my way through at the moment. |

Posted by RT-55J Spoiler: His name is "Taboo"... I'd guess he's an original character. |

On top of that, there's already a Brawl thread, and warning about Spoilers in the thread's title doesn't do much good when you actually mention the spoiler in the title.
Edit: FYI, the title of this thread was "Luigi Is......(Brawl Spoilers!)" when I made this post. |

Posted by Panzer88Posted by JDavisPosted by RT-55J It is real, and it is a new character. You're also conveniently ignoring Master Hand, Crazy Hand, and the entire subspace army. In fact, it's exceedingly common for "compilation" games such as this to have original characters thrown in with everyone else (Ruby Heart, Amingo, Abyss, and technically SonSon from Marvel VS Capcom 2; Reiji Arisu, Xiaomu, Saya, 99, and Katana from Namco X Capcom; at least one original character in each of the Super Robot Wars games, culminating in the "Original Generation" SRW games; etc.) Edit: One should note, though, that this character we're discussing is one of the bosses, not a playable character. All the playable characters here are indeed from previous games. |
