    does the different colors effect your sight

    The answer to that one is no. The pupil is what does the "seeing", the outside (colored) wouldn't affect anything.

    @Nani Cheri -- But you have to think outside the box. Sure you can compare things on the rainbow, but what if someone else's rainbow is in a completely different order than yours? You can have red orange yellow and someone else can have purple blue green. :)

    Exactly.

     

    Here's another one:

     

    Bosses who transform/come back to life -- You guys know the type. Bosses who keep transforming into *bigger* bosses, or simply come back to life 3 or 4 times. The only fun example I've seen of this is with Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, because Nemesis doesn't just keep transforming all at once, he progresses as you do throughout the game.

     

    But speaking of Resident Evil, why is it that the bosses always have to be monsters? Like in Resident Evil 4, the guy with the fake eye, you can't just fight him, you have to wait until he transforms into a giant monster with it's spine sticking out, and then you wait until his legs fall off and he sprouts tentacle things. Then the boy transforms into this giant behemoth stuck to a wall, with a giant eye and more tentacles. Then the final boss transforms into a spider thing with a bunch of legs with eyes at the knees. Even Krauser grows a mutant arm. Sometimes the monsters in RE games get so ridiculously mutated it gets boring. There's a line between scary and stupid.

     

    [i like this topic...probably because I'm such a video game expert. Still don't have an Xbox or PS2 though, so I won't be too knowing of the next-gen games.]

    Alrighty, I saw this one on another forum and thought it would be fun to do here. Post up some of the biggest cliches in gaming today that you can think of.

     

    I'll start off with a bunch:

     

    World War I and II -- The number of World War games has gotten utterly ridiculous lately. I mean, I do enjoy a good run of Battlefield, but it's kind of annoying to see 40 different World War games to pick and choose from these days. I was just visiting GameFAQs.com and saw an ad for Company of Heroes, which, you guessed it, is a World War 2 game.

     

    Infinite/Many Lives -- Games with infinite lives makes me sick. I'm talking about games like Prince of Persia, where you almost have to try to die, and when you do, you don't get sent far back in the game at all. Other games simply give you so many lives that you never even have to go back that far. I find it boring if you can completely beat a game without even trying, which brings me to my next one.

     

    Easy enemies/objectives -- I can't really think of a good example, but I'm sure you know what I mean. Games that have really easy-to-do objectives aren't challenging at all, and therefore aren't interesting, to me. I want a game that can beat me just as much as I beat it.

     

    Exploding boxes -- Why is it that in some games nearly all the boxes are explosive or breakable in some way? In games like Half-Life, they're literally everywhere, and who wants to go breaking 80 boxes to find a clip of ammo?

     

    Key cards/keys -- What is the fascination with locking every door, and then going and hiding keys in the most random and inconspicuous places?

     

    One-shot items -- Remember the old Zelda games where you had to use one particular item to kill one particular boss, and never used it again for the entire game?

     

    Walking into homes -- Elder Scrolls is a good example. You can usually just walk into any house you see and take a bunch of their prized possessions. In Elder Scrolls it's a bit harder though.

     

    Hack n Slash -- Does anyone really find that fun for very long? Maybe a cool game like Gladius...but still.

     

    Saving the World -- Let's be realistic. Do you really think that a single random person who just got magical powers, or something like that, is just going to be able to save the world? Take for example Mario. Do you really think one Italian plumber (with the help of a few friends, sometimes) could go around stomping 18,000,000 koopas and such?

     

    So yeah, add some more. :)

    This post sounds like it's directed more at the children than the parents, but I think it should be the other way around since the parents bring the kids to the theatre and are responsible for controlling them.Overall I think that parents should teach their kids manners in theatres, and avoid bringing babies that wouldn't know any better. Maybe the theatre could also provide some way of stopping this, like a strict no disturbance rule, or pacifiers.

    i am personally a fan of star wars battlefront so i like it. one thing differently you could have done was to change the size and make it a bit bigger. also you may want to change the text color to white. and a c4d render would look nice behind the clone trooper. overall i give it a 6.5/10.

    I don't like using my C4D renders in sigs, and I like my text to not stick out. Thanks for the input though. :)

    When adding a domain to your hosting, our cPanel service actually gives an option to access that folder (and that folder alone) with a seperate password. So when you use username "forums.yoursite.trap17.com" and password you assigned, it goes directory to that folder rather than public_html and then you clicking on forums folder.

    Ohh, I see. So it's only used for FTP access to certain parts of the site, rather than the whole one, right? Like if you were to allow someone (or everyone) to upload files to a certain directory, provided they have the password. Neato.

    1) access the domain control panel and change name servers to Xisto

    2) park this domain under cPanel

    1) backup this folder and database is highly recommended before you begin

    2) access this domain control and change name servers to Xisto

    3) add-on this domain under cPanel

    4) enter this domain for "new domain name"

    5) enter forums as the username/subdomain name

    6) give a password

     

    Since it may tell you the folder is already existing, you can then delete your current forums folder and try it again (this is where the backup comes in handy). Before you begin you may want to delete the already existing sub-domain forums.plusone.trap17.com.

     

    PS, backup, backup and backup. Oh did I mention you should always backup before you begin? :)

     

    Strange, that's exactly what I tried yesterday and it didn't seem to work, I forgot exactly what happened though.

     

    EDIT: BH, Have I mentioned I love you?

     

    I figured out what the problem is...basically, BH's method did what I wanted it to, but for some reason it was showing a "no page at this address" cpanel message, but it was just because the site didn't know that the index was a php file, so I had to edit the .htaccess to reflect that.

     

    The only thing I don't get is why it requires a password for the addon domain...seems like it should be an option.

     

    Now, that's one issue down, I just have to deal with the other hundred. :( Thanks BH.

     

    I'll leave this unlocked in case future problems arise or if anyone wants to discuss a similar issue.

    I'll try it again and see if it works.
