What is the meaning of life?

42! Hey... you asked for the MEANING of life... not the question to it! The question to it will take about 4.5 billion years to actually find out though.

Is it wrong that I like to pee into the air and pretend its raining?

Erm... maybe... depends on what you are peeing on...

@falserelic said:

Well... I kinda want other people to answer each persons questions as well. Just so everyone can be helpful. That is kinda the point of the topic... :/

What is the appeal/joy of Dark Souls? Why does one play this game?

Masochism and bragging rights rewards.

Well obviously, but I mean, entertainment-wise, as a video game to "enjoy," what's the appeal? The game is just so dead.

Well. It does have interesting gameplay, even though it is tough, it isn't as hard as say... SMT Nocturne... seriously... fuck that game up to the high heavens with that bastard Mot.

I would compare Dark Souls with... shockingly, Monster Hunter without the color and with more balance. No offense to anyone but I do find that they are both pretty... samey.

But it is a fun game. I do recommend it... just know that the Capra demon is a dickhead... that is all.

Why has the Steam userbase number been stagnant for so long? Why doesn't the number noticeably increase as more and more games come to Steam? It has broke 5 million only a handful of times, yet new games are constantly being added. Sales are constantly going on, but the userbase isn't growing at a significant rate. Why?

There are most likely multiple reasons for this.

1. The economy is kinda bad right now so people don't want to buy anything right now. Mainly video games.

2. Computers to even play games on can get quite expensive compared to ones that aren't.

3. Very unfriendly in terms of getting new users into it. I know I may get boo'd at for that one. But hey. Making a computer is intimidating while also even TRYING to set up an account for anything dealing with your money always makes people nervous.

4. Most of the people with PC's already have it. I personally think this may be the biggest one. I do wish that Valve and Steam could somehow get their install base into other countries as well. I would love it if we could somehow get legal downloads of the Final Fantasy games on Steam through Japanese video game makers. Same with getting people in countries like Japan, and China to use Steam more. I think pirating from those countries would really start to slow down if the service got more well known...

wait... I just checked Google and Steam does have a Japanese version. However it looks... exactly the same, nothing new of different sadly. I think this may show that many video game devs there may also not know how big it is in Western countries... hmm...

Way to many variables on this one.

Legitimate questions please. No, "What is love?" I described why in the first post!

@TaliciaDragonsong said:

Why?

Why I did this? Well a lot of people do have questions to ask and are either embarrassed to ask or that they can't even ask on here due to possibly making a spam topic. I wish to create a topic in which people can ask questions without being judged.

@falserelic said:

Anyone enjoys watching porn?

...Except maybe this question as well... yeah, people don't ask this because I have no idea what would happen if I start talking about this stuff... either a instant ban or a suspension would happen if I talk about this.

I am just going to answer with... "Somewhat."

Yeah. I am not touching this one anymore due to how... intense this could get.

I thought of making this topic for a while but I could never find enough good questions to ask so people can answer them... I think this should also be the topic where,

A, You will not be judged.

B, Asking a legitimate question.

And C, Just curious if anyone knows the subject you are asking.

Also, don't ask, "What is love?/Is there a soul?" Or things of that nature. It will cause a flame war and I don't want that. Same with PC parts questions due to how insanely flame warish that can go. Now then. Follow those simple steps and I think we can get on the road here. Let me ask a few questions.

1. Is it legal to have a duck as a pet? If so, I would really like to know how one can even get a duck or even train them. No... I don't want to steal and egg... that makes me look like I have problems and that I will be chased by a momma duck, I don't forsee things going in my favor by doing this... are there any legal ways of getting a baby duck and have it as a pet?

2. There is a cat that keeps leaving dead birds on my yard... I can' even pick up the dead birds with a shovel because hornets start eating the bastards in swarms! (I am not fucking joking... fucking hornets eating dead birds... WTF!?) How can I get the cat while also getting rid of the many dead birds on my lawn since I can't even approach the bastards because of the swarms of stinging bastards?

3. Is there any way to eat grape fruit without making my face cave in on itself due to how damn sweet/sour the things are? I am serious. I am trying to eat more fruit and stuff and I hear Grape fruit is good. It is also somewhat cheap up here... however... dear goodness, the taste of them! You think Warheads are sour? HAHAHAHA!!! Those are for babies compared to grape fruit. Seriously, I want to eat healthier. But why does everything healthy always have some kind of draw back like horrific taste and such!?

And finally, 4. I need something funny in terms of either video or a story... I have been kinda depressed lately. Please...

That is all the legitimate questions I got right now. I will give any answer I know about to anyone that asks and I hope to see the same from other people. I am also hoping that this topic will cut down on a lot of topics that randomly ask things and get shut down due to being off topic. So I hope I am making a difference with this topic.

@Jay444111: He answered that they are doing pretty bad! Twice! If your argument that they are doing alright is advertisement and hulu access, I mean. What else should they do? They need advertisements and availability of shows to stay alive, whether they are doing well or not.

Again. That ENTIRE blog never mentions any companies that are actually hurting other than just saying, "DOOM AND GLOOM ALL BECAUSE OF AMERICANS AND PIRATES!!!"

It doesn't tell you HOW the companies like Funimation are doing... at all. It is literally like no one is TRYING to answer my questions.

Considering the fact that Funimation also has over 50 spots on the amazon top 100 bestsellers does also show that they are selling things. I mean, WTF people! It actually doesn't make sense that they are doing badly if they are selling that amount of things.

@Jay444111: http://animeyume.com/blog/2012/01/11/the-present-and-future-of-the-us-anime-industry/

Still doesn't answer my question about Funimation.

@Knave said:

@Animasta: Actually it made perfect sense. He mentioned Funimation, so obviously he was referring to the western state. And yeah, it's doing pretty horrible. Japan is still somewhat fine, but they're getting worse by the year.

Again. I thought Funimation is making bank! I mean... come on, they have freaking anime on hulu constantly and all that and really advertise their shows... if they didn't have the money they wouldn't do that. Heck, I even remember SEKIREI ads almost everywhere! Even Gamefaqs shockingly.

So yeah... how the hell is Funimation doing bad?

Also, the anime thing seems to be more of a economy sorta deal. Considering everyone feeling the slump. It is just stupid that it would die though, that includes dubbing.
