Hang on, I thought forensics was like fingerprints / corpses / bulletholes. CSI type stuff? Or is storytelling just a way to chill out at the end of a hard day of working out if someone was strangled then stabbed or stabbed then strangled?


I had the same thoughts, but didn't want to look silly for asking.....lol

Now I don't feel so weird for asking too Smile

 		That's a confusion that a lot of people make. But the middle- and high-school students (I hope) knew it as it's primary meaning before the show came around.

Dictionary.com wrote:
foˇrenˇsics n.
1. The art or study of formal debate; argumentation.
2. The use of science and technology to investigate and establish facts in criminal or civil courts of law.

Of course, now it extends much beyond debate... depends on the state, but there's poetry reading, prose reading, storytelling, demonstration, etc etc. Smile

Oh, dude. That opens up the whole can of worms about what RULES there are, and blah blah blah, and I so just wanna drag you all to Zanzibar and wash your heads in the shore water before I sticky you.

You would all glow so pretty, I swear.

And I agree with this even more....

(But WTH's a "Long Distance Sticky"? Or are they "Long Distance Sticky Flowers"?) Shocked


It's from the game Halo. There are glowing blue plasma grenades. They are sticky, and getting stuck is usually quite fatal, but lobbing those puppies at the perfect trajectory is tough when your five feet away. Moreso when the target is 500 ft. away and trying to take your head off with a sniper rifle, gun turrent, or rocket launcher.

A long distance sticky is somewhere in the happiness continuum between lollipops and dancing robots

Would you say that it's equidistant, or does it lean closer to the dancing robots?

 		It depends on the coefficent of the radius of the proximity voice divided by the explosive cursing and network latency.

 		Aha....something else newly learned today.

Sorry ....can't stand most video games (although that Rayman goof is pretty cool), and was even less interested in ILB.

Very Happy

 		You know you've played too much Halo 2 when you can throw Sticky Grenades accurately without thinking.

Too bad that's about the extent of my online abilities... Embarassed *Sigh* At least I'm deadly with the Pistol / SMG. Then again... so is the rest of the world... Embarassed

Oh I have plenty of fun Wink Just don't like video games.

I started early on with ILB, and quickly dropped it, because as much as I like ARGing, I knew it just wasn't "for me".

History is my bag.....but I'm not so sure that an ARG based in 1756 would get along all that well with the TINAG tenet.

I know I'm probably an exception to the rule around here.....never read The Davinci Code, Neil Stephenson (sp?), or any of the other books mentioned anywhere in this forum....

.....I'm really just here for the pie.

/off to start a thread on Morgan's Run and Birds Of Prey....

Which in itself is reciprocated by the number of angular degrees separating the lat/long of each player divided by 8. So, what ... about 7?
