And what of the person who took the time to edit a screen shot of Metroid to make Samus Aran nude? I wouldn't call that funny, I'd call that disappointing.

That said: I smirked at what you originally posted here, and I've had a chuckle at some of your previous postings as well. I'm almost always in jest myself, online and in person. "Old regulars" from IRC #nesdev can tell you how absolutely bonkers I can be. My point here is: yes, I can take a joke, and I do find crude humour funny.

The reason I made the video is because 1) you've a recurring theme when posting on this forum (seemingly trying to make people take the piss spouting off lies and general nonsense) and 2) some folks were starting to take your nonsense seriously. There's a 3rd and 4th reason I suppose: I'd never heard of the Metroid Password Generator before + it'd been a while since I'd played Metroid.

My point is: you don't have to be serious to hang out here, and your edited screen shot was funny (to me), but when someone calls your bluff don't act like an ass. :-)

And please don't start some preposterous debate (re: nudity vs. porn). What some consider nudity others consider pornography, regardless of the Wikipedia or dictionary definition. Ever heard the phrase "beauty is in the eye of the beholder?" It applies here. To me your screen shot edit isn't porn -- but some could be offended by it nonetheless. Should you live your life by other people's rules? No, but have a little bit of taste next time. :-)

Because those red spots are hair. Duhuh. :roll:

It's not the same color as the hair. It's the same color as the shoes.

Nude, eh? What clothing size does a beach wear? And how many leg holes does it have?

JohnJohn, I recall some of your earliest posts exhibiting genuine curiosity about programming the NES. I think that all of us here would quickly forgive your mischief if you would revert to this earlier JohnJohn and start learning some NES programming =) I know it is tempting to think that once one's reputation is besmirched by a misstep on a forum, that nobody will ever like you again, but I don't think this is true. If you put this behind you and start getting curious, we'll respond accordingly. :)

Yeah, that was the other John. That's why I call myself JohnJohn. If he's in control, he talks about NES programming, and whenever I'm in control, you're talking with the intelligent one.

As if I could do that at will. :roll:

Oh, that's no problem. If you really didn't take me seriously anymore, I would simply create a third persona. Then we'd be Joh, Njo and Hn instead of John and John.

So it appears to be a Jekyll and Hyde situation; I can work with you on that. As long as the good John keeps posting interesting things related to NES development and the nudity-fan John keeps it subtle, I won't see much of a problem. The thing about Mega Man platforms was cute for an occasional laugh, but a page-lengthening post consisting of hundreds of repetitions of "Penus " wasn't. Nor was devoting an entire post to scrambling the letters in a quote to say "intercourse", but had it been about a racing game with an "outer course" and an "inner course", that might have drawn a chuckle. If Mr. Hyde wants to post about his PINGAS, there are always other forums for that; try the comments of any random YouTube Poop video.

What about that:

Code: Select all

using System;

static class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        while (true)
        {
            Console.Write("Va");

            for (int i = 1; i <= 2; i++)
                Console.Write("jay");

            Console.Write(" ");
        }
    }
}
Is that better?

Your program does not halt. Instead of "while (true)" you need some sort of limiting condition.

This thread is done.
