Parents blaming movies for their children's behavior might have something to do with it.

I remember seeing trailers for Ang Lee's Hulk, and at the end of the trailer there was a warning: Warning, this movie contains tobacco use.
That blew my mind a little. That's like a disclaimer for the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo stating: Warning, this movie contains a lot of fast food product placement.

Airplane was released in 1980, right? Gremlins (1984) is what sparked the creation of PG-13.BoringSupreez wrote:Lilo & Stitch and Airplane have the same MPAA rating. Crazy world.
But yeah I used to get a chuckle over old movie ratings. Classic films like the 1933 King Kong are rated G.

Yikes! What in the world happened to the difficulty in Ys Origins?!
One minute I was slicing through enemies like a hot knife through butter, and on the very next floor, even the most common enemies can kill me in about 6 hits, and my attacks only do 1 damage per hit! It's gotten so tough that I can't even level grind to solve it!

Re: Random Thoughts Thread
Daaammmmmnnnnn Ys Seven definitely has several areas that you could wander into before you were supposed to, crawling with enemies that will take you out in a few hits... I haven't played Origin yet though...

There's a beehive (possible colony) in my roof... I actually watched one burrow it's way through the roof in my kitchen right next to the window, then promptly shoryukened the thing into bug paste. It was creepy, like something out of alien or something because at first all I saw were legs.

Bees have been in decline and they're good. How about having someone relocate them instead of being destructive?brunoafh wrote:There's a beehive (possible colony) in my roof...

There are two beehives in the giant trees on our block. The day is filled with the quiet hum of them. It's oddly relaxing.

I agree with you. He could be confusing them with yellow jackets or hornets.Hobie-wan wrote: Bees have been in decline and they're good. How about having someone relocate them instead of being destructive?
If you really do have honeybees, then if you find a local beekeeper, they'll relocate the bees for free (usually). We had a swarm in my town relocated recently.

I'm not sure this is possible, didn't even know this service existed though.Hobie-wan wrote:Bees have been in decline and they're good. How about having someone relocate them instead of being destructive?
Believe me I'm all about animal (or whatever the creature in question is) rights, I'm that guy that gets a spider to crawl on a paper towel so I can let it outside. However, I'm not all about a colony of bees of any kind burrowing through my ceiling and infesting my apartment.
I don't really think it was a honey bee... I mean why the hell would a honey bee make a hive/nest inside wood? I looked up some pictures on google and it looks like a carpenter bee or a bumble bee. Probably a carpenter bee being that I literally watched it dig through wood. I don't really think relocating the hive is an opinion. It's not just sitting around in open sight, it's literally inside the roof of the 3-floor dwelling I live in, you'd have to tear the roof apart to get to the hive. It's already going to be enough of a pain in the ass for me to do it myself since I have to crawl out on the roof with a ladder and try to find where the heck they burrowed in. If I just let it go the bees will probably friggin turn the entire top of the place into a colony, who knows how deep they're in already.
