New York Renaissance Faire

http://www.renfair.com/ny/

Has anybody been there? The fair was pretty cool. Tons of mead and beer along with big turkey legs.

If your in the NY area, I suggest you check it out.

They had a guy to throw rotten tomatoes at, lots of archery, knife throwing, and axe throwing. It was just a great time.

Ryudo it is not appropriate to argue with other members over what you think is a rule violation. We are regular members now. If you feel QWERTY has violated one of the rules, you can report the post to the staff so they can take a look at it and determine if action on their end is necessary. After you do that, consider your job is done. Nothing more is to be gained from that point in further back and forth.

I did report his posts and the most action I have seen is just a mod thanking your post. But no action taken.

So until the staff make a determination, what more do you think you can accomplish here personally? Do you believe QWERTY will potentially be persuaded by your opinion to back off? That seems unlikely. Will you continue to argue your message until one of you is banned? I don't want to see that happen. I haven't familiarized myself with all the technicalities of the rules lately, so I cannot say one way or the other if a rule is being broken here (perhaps I should brush up) But either way, you are not helping yourself, or anyone else here with further escalation. You've reported the post and stated your case. Until the mods confer, take a step back and give them time to make their determination.

Re: Gaming thoughts of the day

So I was at work the other day, and I noticed one of the new guys is sitting around playing a PSP I walk over and ask what he is playing, and he is playing FF8 on a hacked PSP 3000, and I was like sweet. Next thing I know he starts playing a PSP homebrew magic the gathering game called wagic and we start talking about play magic and what not. So long story short I found another nerd at work to talk about games with, also I think we are going to start hanging out soon and I will have a buddy to play MTG with sometimes now. 8)

Re: Tea

I'm an island man, so I mostly drink fruit teas. while in Canada I picked up some great Blueberry tea in New Brunswick.

I'm not above a good herbal tea though, its great to go to Chinatown and have some freshly made tea with dim sum in the winter.
http://www.shenmuedojo.net/forum/posting.php?mode=quote&f=2&t=45001&p=1005403#
You know I actually didn't know tea did all that stuff for you.
yeah man tea is great for you, it's linked to the high expectancy of living in places like hong kong and Japan (not the sole reason but an important factor in some cases) if someone is prone to disease through genetics I would highly recommend it to lower their chances of catching such diseases (it's not a miracle cure though so doesn't totally exempt the chances)

people often see this as zen bullshit from far eastern fairy tales but it's 100% true, in some cases white tea has even been found to reduce tumours in size

This is true, it can be very good for you. Though I would point out that green or white teas are usually healthier, due to lower caffeine levels mainly I guess. But in general, it's always better to find a good one that suits your own needs, as opposed to just sticking on a PG Tips or whatever.

A Qi Gong grand master once recommended to my brother that he make some crazy Chinese herbal tea that had all kinds of herbs and even dried Chinese berries in, for his stomach. There was no real 'tea' in it, but it did the job and helped alleviate my brothers issues :)

Re: Yu Suzuki should be ashamedof himself!

I may be wrong, but I don't think it's in Yu's nature or indeed his culture to openly point the finger at Sega just to take the heat off himself. Even though he's independent he still has a working relationship with the company, so it would not be "good form" to publicly distance himself from their mistakes. He's said enough here and there to make it clear that the situation's been out of his hands, most specifically that if given the opportunity he would like to make Shenmue III. To go into detail on the knockbacks he has received behind closed doors at Sega HQ would risk putting a strain on their continued business association.

That's why it's up to the fans to go to bat for him and make it known where the fault lies, because Yu's too nice a guy and far too professional to labor the point himself.

Re: BLOOD OF JESUS! Every bible to come with a box of donuts

By the way, the nature of the fundamental forces is actually one of the big areas of research in physics. They know that it needs explaining and try to find why constants have their exact value, why symmetry between forces broke down leading to stars and life

Metaphysical thinking brackets every thing as a whole as needing explanation till you get to something that obviously explains itself, so you would have to ask what the forces are, or more precisely, what the ultimate source of all phenomena is, such that there was a state of symmetry between proposed unobservable things that mathematically could have unfolded as the universe we experience. Hence, from this perspective, all such questions in physics are not "explanation," but only "description," falling short of an explanation that totally satisfies Reason.

Moreover, nobody knows what science is, nobody knows what theories are, nobody knows what kind of knowledge relates to reality and what doesn't. No one even knows if there are laws of nature, what can cause what, or what depends on what, or what substance is, or even if we ought to trust anything but our direct experience with all its content and common sense because it's really all we undoubtedly have. There is a popular conception that science is a well-defined thing, but the truth is, nobody knows what scientific methods are effectual and which are not, and there's thousands of mutually exclusive ways of looking at it. The newspapers tell us that science is just the assumption of materialism, but that is no less a metaphysical view than the notion that the whole universe is in the mind. Both rely on models of unobservable phenomena. Nobody even knows whether scientific models are legitimate science in the first place. There has been a silent civil war raging for several decades between those who think science should be the study of all the relationships between directly observable phenomena alone (the orthodox empiricists), and those who think it proper to propose and study models of unobservables like atoms, subatomic realities, space-time, or laws of nature (the pop physicists like Einstein, Feynman, Hawking, etc), and connecting those hypothetical models with mathematics, forming cosmologies (Big Bang, Dark Matter, Black Holes, Quantum Physics...).

But many scientists don't like the idea of using scientific methods on purely mathematical models of unobservable phenomena because they believe that to be metaphysics and not physics at all. Empiricists have long accused the pop physicists of dealing with imaginary things, proving only what would be the case if such and such a model were true, rather than focusing on relationships between directly observable phenomena. And, in truth, technoscience relies only on observable phenomena. So, there is a very real question as to the usefulness of theoretical physics and whether it is even scientific at all, or rather a metaphysical explication of a materialist model supported by mathematical relationships that may have nothing to do with reality, as none of this work (for example, quantum mechanics) uniquely demonstrates anything useful for prediction or the development of new technology. They are very sensitive about this, so they started this memetic pseudo-war against theism to keep the journalists away from the realist/anti-realist scientific crisis. It's all quite fascinating, if you look into it, since the popular confidence in the myth of a "Science" that is a magic method for knowing is almost entirely false, and it's like a big secret that everyone just pretends isn't so. There's too much money, power, and glory involved.

http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/scientific-realism/#UndTheDat

http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/constructive-empiricism/

The sad fact is, nobody knows anything with certainty. Not even a little bit. There aren't even any degrees of knowledge. Nobody is enlightened at all, and there's not a thing anyone can do about it. It's all just phenomena and faith.

Re: Where did Henry Go?

Just wanted to log in to say thanks for all the kind words, it really means a lot. I won't be coming back for the foreseeable future, but all the well wishes definitely encourage me to do so, in time. And it's okay that people know what happened, my apologies for disappearing like that.. I did realise I would be letting down some people on here, since I promised to do certain things for them (Dorian, Mittens, Ryudo, my apologies, I'll pay you guys back one day, bet on it). Also apologies to my fellow staff members (and Dojo forum members) for bailing out like I have, if I could turn back the clock, I would have contacted you guys and the Dojo with what was going on, I feel bad about it.

I also hope ThyDarkAngel is doing fine himself, he's going through with difficulties himself also. If you're reading this, take care of yourself and all the best. Same goes for any of you going through hard times right now. I wish all the best to all of the members on here [for example: Orange (hope you have the best damn wedding there ever is and ever will be) and Kenny (keep on living the dream)] in the future.

Don't want to make a big deal out of my absence, but seeing all of the posts in here, I felt I had to.

I vote Crimson Ryan or Kenny for mod!

I'll always be on PSN or my Hotmail if any of you guys fancy a chat. Sorry if this comes off as pretentious, I was just rather touched by all the nice messages.
You guys and gals are the best there is. See you around (and maybe again, in the future).
Be well.

Why does Shenmue remind me of the holidays?

Why does it feel like this game is best played around November/December? I really enjoy playing shenmue with a cup of hot chocolate, Christmas trees and ornaments, while it is cold and preferably snowing outside. I knew this game came out around this time (November), but it can't be the only reason. Something in the game itself makes want to play it around winter season and this includes Shenmue II.

Is it the internal game changing seasons which includes snow and Santa Clause? Nozomi's white sweater?

Perhaps it's me and the game has been deeply engraved in my sub-conscious because I was playing this alot in my youth on the Dreamcast when it first came out during winter.

Anyone else feel this way?

Re: Random Thoughts! v2.0

Damn, what's in Australia that's so badass?

I mean I was planning to go someday but it sounds like i'm missing something here.

I blame the long lasting prominence of Neighbours, and to a lesser extent, Home and Away. It's ruined the minds of generations of British youth...It's basically a deliberate strategy the Australian government employs in order to brain drain Britain and steal our talent. However, what the aussie government never counts on, is that this only accounts for the dregs Britain's population departing ( *cough* Pete and qwerty *cough*), and our government knows this, hence why Neighbours will always be given a place (and usually lot's of places- twice a day during the week, and omnibus on the weekend is what I grew up on) on British TV screens. :P

I'm of course only joshing chaps. I'm just proper green eyed about the fact that your going to be lucky enough to swap these grey and rainy shores for some sandy aussie beaches. Who know's, you may even find the sturdy jawed aussie girl of your dreams while your there too.

Re: Shenmue I & II HD Listed in magazine

It's from earlier this year, when the Internet was on the brink of exploding over a vague, non-committal remark from a PR rep whose job it is to make vague, non-committal remarks. You'd have to think that if there was any actual evidence to support this listing, it would have been more widely reported on by now.

That's not to say that Shenmue HD definitely won't happen. Just that this "mud at the wall" magazine snippet is, almost certainly, a red herring.
