Yeah,I could solve a Rubik's cube in less than 2 minutes.

I have got a professor cube which got shuffled,got the first layer.

Can anyone figure out the layer by layer solution.

SAME HERE! I can do the professor cube several times, but speed running it would be very hard. I also have a megaminx which I haven't completed yet. The megaminx is the dodecahedron version of the rubik's cube.

My native tongue is Russian, so I had the misfortune of trying to read "The Iliad" in the Gnedich translation, which keeps the hexameter but is incredibly clunky. So I used to think it was boring literature, but now I've found Alexander Pope's English translation and IT MADE THE ILIAD AMAZING.

I've read Book One and I just wanted to tell you that I'm deeply moved. Pope's poetry is fantastic, the translation flows more perfectly than I could have ever imagined by reading the stilted, stuffy Gnedich version.

"..."

Actually, The End should be the new standard for what's creepy. If you haven't played it yet, you should, because you won't get the reference otherwise.

"The End" rocks.

Also, I always wanted to write a Wonderland darkfic, I even have an idea... but I'm such a lazy bottom that I haven't started writing even when I had the time to do so.

And now university takes up too much time and energy.

Dig222 used to make a darkfic-esc comic series, right?

It didn't get very popular, sadly; I thought it was hilarious.

Muzozavr · Post by **Muzozavr** » Tue Mar 18, 2014 11:06 pm

Well, I don't mean "hilarious", I mean "seriously painful".

Wonderland is basically a perfect place, right? There's this idea of a "balance of good and evil" which is used in fantasy a whole lot. What is Wonderland's perfection powered by???

Post by **Jutomi** » Tue Mar 18, 2014 11:18 pm

Z-bots, puzzles, colour, rainbows, stinkers, WT Electric, and the void.

Once upon a time, I had an idea where there was a third force in Wonderland which always strives for perfect balance. I wanted to use it in a plot where a guy want to eliminate it in order to achieve absolute perfection, but he doesn't realize how bad that actually was... it was a pretty lousy plot idea, but I'm just spouting ideas.

My storyline has a Darker and Edgier Wonderland that's pretty far on the cynical side, so I don't really have an answer. So, in other words, all my adventures will, on some level, be a Wonderland darkfic.

I just finished watching Frozen with my parents and my cousin.

I just... Wow, I don't know what I was expecting, but this movie wasn't it. Two of the three leads are female, the story doesn't focus on either of them trying to find "true love" even though it's a plot point, the Queen isn't actually "evil" like in a lot of other kids' movies and such...

This movie was great, seriously. Also, Queen Elsa... Just, wow. If anyone ever asked me to point to a character I empathize with, it'd be her - I don't think I've ever seen a depiction of anxiety and depression quite as accurate and relatable as her.

Going to have to agree with you there. I saw the movie in theaters with a few of my friends back in December and was surprised by how much realistic character depth was shown - I enjoyed the movie too.

I respectfully disagree. I thought Anna was unlikable, Elsa's character was thrown all over the place with no consistency, the sisters' relationship was virtually non-existent, the film's "big reveal" - although pretty clever - wasn't relevant to the overall plot in any way, the threat of the eternal winter never felt real, Olaf's summer storyline was completely useless and went nowhere, the way Elsa could suddenly control her ice powers at the end made no sense, and the film was riddled with enough plotholes to fill a Swiss cheese. (in fact, I wrote a list of 80)

... and I've seen Plan 9 from Outer Space. Yes, it's unintentionally hilarious in many ways, looks incredibly cheap and most of the acting is quite wooden, but it all comes together into a surprisingly OK whole. It's not a good movie, but it's not as bad as people claim and there are actually bits and moments that I do like unironically.

Though all attempts to be scary fall flat as soon as the clunky dialogue makes everything funny instead. And by that I mean from the very beginning of the movie, as soon as the narrator says "We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember, my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future." That, uhh... sets the tone, I guess. Night and day scenes are erratically cut together with no explanation for the sudden day-to-night (or vice versa) shifts, Bela Lugosi receives a double who looks nothing like Bela Lugosi and constantly covers his face with the cape he wears...

... but I still liked it and I'm firmly convinced that the basic plot could have been sound with better execution. As hilariously, stupidly illogical as this movie gets, it's never OFFENSIVELY bad, unlike some plot points of other, much better received and reviewed movies.

Also, I'll never forget the undead inspector Clay's first appearance. The poor inspector's facial expression is intended to be scary at this point, but comes across more as "what is this I don't even".

Well i watched The Manhattan project.
When a teen discovers that a lab is building nuclear bombs, he exposes its secret by stealing plutonium and building his own bomb for a science fair.
It was awesome.

So he showed everyone that this lab was illegally building nuclear bombs by building one for himself? Seems kind of counter intuitive.

Let me guess: the bomb is then nearly set off by the bad guys, so the teen has to be the hero and save everyone from his own bomb?

Koopson44 · Post by **Koopson44** » Sun Mar 23, 2014 7:42 pm

Nope, HE accidentally sets off the bomb. He has 11 hours to defuse it before it blows up 4 states.

I respect your opinion, but I would very strongly disagree with you about Elsa - As someone who suffers from both depression and social anxiety, I found Elsa to be incredibly relatable as a character. The kind of mood swings she has ("The cold never bothered me anyway") is something I'm familiar with, for instance.

As for the relationship between the sisters, that's another thing - Shutting people out is a huge red flag for depression. It doesn't mean you don't care for someone - usually the opposite, in fact: You don't want to burden them with yourself and all of your negativity and such.

As for the ice thing at the end... Love trumps all.

On a more serious note though, I wasn't bugged by it too much. I think it's because I was viewing the ice as a sort of metaphor for emotional outlashes - You can easily hurt other people with those, even when you're trying not to. I know for sure that I have.

Anyways, uh, yeah. Opinions are cool
