Social Swamp's Social Thread 3 - And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain...

[Champ Gold]

So I discussed this article awhile back...but here is "Why Sites Shouldn't Report Every Rumor" (I know, I really outdid myself with the title).

So...

I need to ask your help with something...

I'm overweight and while I feel fine physically, I'd like to lose weight.

My overall goal is to lose 80 pounds.

Could you guys like, bug me or change the title to help me or something. I have tried to do it on my own but to no avail. Would you guys be willing to help?

Well my career requires me to remain in top shape, so I have some advice.

First, when it comes to diet, be careful what you drink. If you want to lose weight, drop alcohol , energy drinksand carbonated beverages. Water, juice and tea are always contributors to a healthy diet.

Don't focus on building muscle...focus on cardio. Muscle weighs more than fat, so if you hit the weight bench, you won't meet that goal. Running and swimming are the two best cardio exercises I can think of. If you have access to a pool, tread water on a regular basis. This will build up your stamina greater. If you aren't a fast runner, focus on distance for now. You should run at least 2 miles a week.

Situps and pushups can also tone your body while avoiding putting on unnecessary weight.

The Daisy sprites aren't appearing? They are hosted directly on SG so there shouldn't be any issue....sorry about that!

Perhaps it's your computer or browser? They loaded for me in google chrome. Good article by the way! I have to agree with the points stated in it!

How many times will they do this lol

 

[Swamp Sensei]

*sigh* I'm going to take a break from the thread until I get back home. On Friday I had to leave the house because my Dad got mad, broke one of our TVs, and spouted death threats. So we've been at my Aunt's house since then. A major problem is, however, that I'm highly allergic to cats.... And we're in a house full of cats.... Thus my allergies have been making me feel absolutely miserable and depressed. So I can't really have fun or joy with anything like I usually can, I just physically can't. *sigh* My whole break is probably going to be waisted. So peace out until I can enjoy myself. Enjoy yourselves, don't blow the site up while I'm gone.

Praying for ya bud.

I don't know if it was the same place, but I once saw "King K. Kool"

Also why is NX one of the tags? I mean it's not even reffered to once in the article. XD

Santae Klaus confirmed for December xmas Smash direct

I'm a Shantae supporter, and I find this stupid.

Lol until he is confirmed and they actually can see and learn his name.

xD please tell me this site is satire! It has to be... right?

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Santae sounds like some kind of peanut sauce

 

[Strofirko]

Sounds like a news website made for a college project.

 

[Opossum]

Also why is NX one of the tags? I mean it's not even reffered to once in the article. XD

Because it then becomes more likely that people looking for the NX will come across the article. It's a (rather dishonest way of performing) search engine optimization.

"Here is footage of "Super Smash Bros. 4" unveiling some of the characters listed for the upcoming game."

This cannot be for real.

 

[PushDustIn]

"Here is some footage about new chararcters announced for the UPCOMING GAME"
What? Is this for real, no reporter can possibly be this stupid. XD

You'd be surprised how uninformed reporters can be sometimes...

Just remember: Just because they get paid for something doesn't make them a 'professional'.

That's for sure, they're often highly exaggerative and have information that's either untrue or subjective. It's almost as if they found a random person and hired them.

 

[Opossum]

It's especially telling when a reporter gets an assignment for something not in their particular beat. Like, if you get the arts and entertainment reporter to cover a sports story short notice, it's very noticeable in the final product.

 

[Nirbion]

I just want to say that that's my favorite Nirbion header, and I'm glad that the rest of the world can finally enjoy it.

Your Source for Waa indeed.

Hah, thanks but it's not the first time we see Source Waah in an SG-Header

I remember when my class at some school was asked to do journalism on something and I got stuck with economics. I'm more of a reviewer or a regular article writer. Ended up doing Zwarte Piet instead lol

*gives a headline definitively stating that the author knows the next wave of DLC*

*proceeds to recant fan votes and theories in lieu of any evidence whatsover supporting the headline's claims*

*headline even suggests there's video evidence, but is in fact only referencing a video of all the Smah 4 cutscenes the author pulled off of Youtube*

Ladies and gentlemen, journalism at its finest. Next, please.

What the hell does this have to do with that? Come on. We just had a problem with this :/

(PS. got the naga rider based message. Nice)

Random question, but can anyone help me find a photo editor like photoshop? With features like it, such as brushes, ability to add in ,multiple photos to one pic, etc. I have an alright one now, but I'd want a better one if I could get it.

I use GIMP. (ignore the unfortunate name)

Im terrible at this stuff but i've heard other people say it's good for a free editor.

The joke is that journalism has devolved a lot

Gimp. That's what I use and it's pretty simple but effiective at the same time.

"SANTAE"

Oh my...

Seriously though, are these journalists even into video games in the first place? Something suggests that these guys are reporting on something they don't know, to the point of not being able of discerning good sources from bad ones...

All it takes to do a proper report on Smash DLC is going to the official website of the game.

You'd be surprised how uninformed reporters can be sometimes...

Just remember: Just because they get paid for something doesn't make them a 'professional'.

Pretty much this.

I just saw footage of Sexy Parodius. I don't think Konami were insane just recently anymore

 

[Deleted member]

Aaaaand, I'm back already.... I know, that was anti climatic. But I made myself feel better by getting some fresh air and taking a hike through the woods. But it turns out we're moving over the break. But at least I'll have a little bit of time for my former plans, hopefully. It is my birthday this friday afterall.

Pffft, the world needs more Fabolous games like that.

 

[Deleted member]

The first Lords of Shadow was good, Mirror of Fate was okay, and I haven't touched Lords of Shadow 2 aside from the demo and I don't feel very motivated to.

I think it's only a matter of time before Konami makes a pachinko machine based off that game.

Thanks, I tried downloading that earlier but couldn't get it to setup, but didn't know why...Currently, I am using Pixlr.com for editing. It let's me do stuff like what you will see below. It's not to bad, but I was looking for a little more.
