Off-Topic / Criteria for EIB badge?
« on: 28-11-2009, 16:11:13 »
So today is my Grandpa's funeral. He was in the staff sergeant 106th division in the battle of the Bulge and spent 3-4 months in a POW camp. Last night at the first night of the family gathering, there was a full display of his medals. He had the POW medal, Battle of Bulge Medal, Combat Infantry Badge and the Expert Infantry Badge. I was just wondering, my lovely nerds, what did you have to do in 1943, when he got the badge, in order to get the badge? I just want to know how much work he put in to obtain it.

What the fuck is wrong with people? 12 people dead, 31 wounded. The man responsible is alive, contrary to previous reports. Shit.

Off-Topic / The evolution of Internet Acronyms and slang.
« on: 31-03-2009, 17:03:39 »
I just wanted to start a discussion on various internet acronyms. I've been into video games and the video game world for years as I'm sure most you have. And I just wanted to sit down with you guys and think about the evolution of acronyms and slang we've seen over the years. It is curious to me how these things get started. In the old day there weren't many, thanks like lol and ttyl became common place, who started lol? Some guy somewhere just decided to type it and it caught on? I wonder if that could be patented. I was just checking facebook and somebody's status was just fml(fuck my life) which has just appeared on the scene as a common acyronym in the last year or so. I just hope some day I can create a word that becomes universally used by the internet.

On another story, yesterday I was talking with my girlfriend and I said that something was epic, and she said that it was a video game saying/ Maybe she is right, it's curious to think that our exposure to video games and forums like these evolve the way we speak, it puts a video game tint to it. Even the people who don't speak english as a first language, you could come here and use things like FTW with non-video gamers and they won't know it. It's just an interesting thing that came to me this morning while I was doing homework. Discuss :-D.

Off-Topic / New Names?
« on: 30-03-2009, 03:03:29 »
Since this is a new forum, some of us can get new names because they havent been previously taken by the multitude of filefront users. Like me for example, I am formerly Moose12, but the only reason I had that name was because of the fact that I couldnt get just straight up Moose.
