The Director

Highest praise ever! lol

You have to track down and kill my current apprentice. Without me giving you any hints as to who s/he is or where they reside.

Thank you all for your well wishes on this momentous occasion. I wish for another 3 years and 4k more posts among this excellent group of people.

You don't. There already is a Director. Assuming I KNEW it was Dracula, I'd keep driving. Only to some. It has merit. Especially when you consider that Shepherd's actions technically aren't his own in the first place. Of course. I really enjoyed Ocarina of Time, Windwaker, Super Smash Bros, Mario Party, Donkey Kong 64, and a ton of other games. The Nintendo 64 was actually the first console I played more than 2 hours a day on. 1. I like cake more than pie but do not particularly crave either. 2. That would take more than 10 minutes to type. I'm playing the laziness card. Also congrats on the most generalized question possible.

That's right, The Director's account is officially three years old! Not only that, this is it's 4000th post! Yes, this is going to be an ego-boosting thread because I deserve it for being awesome. In the past three years and 4k posts, quite a lot has been accomplished. Like many of you, when I first joined the forum I thought that it was directly affiliated with 343i. Didn't see the "community forum" part. When I found out that this was a community forum, I made the decision to become a part of this community and to contribute to it as much as I could. My original Username was AAN2, which is also my gamertag as well as my initials. As I got more involved in the forum, the shoutbox, and the community I began to want a different username. One that reflected my personality. Most of the usernames related to RvB (Red vs Blue by Roosterteeth) were already taken, and I wouldn't settle for a XxusernamexX or a username123 or any of that. On January 11, 2012 I had decided on The Chairman. 21 minutes later I changed my mind and became The Director. The reasons I changed my mind was simple. The Director fit my personality better and also had pictures that I could use as my avatar and signature. There's been plenty of joking name changes since, but at the core I've been The Director the entire time. After my username change I began posting. A lot. I currently have the recorded record for the most posts in a 24 hour period. At the time, Absolute Dog was combing through every single one of those posts looking for an excuse to ban me, and ban me he did. Not for "spamming", but for bragging about getting the most posts in a day. My posts were said to be unique in the amount of content in them vs the amount of them. That brings us to threads. Shortly after I joined the forum, a thread for Achievements was made by Spectral Jester. That thread was my first major contribution to the forum, as I listed every single achievement in Halo and how to get it. It took quite a while to do so, but in the end it helped a ton of people out. My next most helpful thread in my eyes was my Minecraft Achievement thread, where I explained how to get each Minecraft Achievement and even offered to help people get the more difficult ones. I honestly can't remember how many people took me up on that, but there was plenty enough to keep me busy. When the popularity of Minecraft died down, I had to find other things to keep me busy. I started the "Did You Knows" threads, and maintained them as best as I could. When it became apparent that we were running out of things to know on those threads I began the "Ask The Director" thread. ATD was the single most popular thread in General Discussion, and still maintains the most replies of any thread in that subforum. At one point it was even pinned, but after I locked the thread (too busy being a mod) it got unpinned. In the midst of all of this I also posted plenty of threads that were heart wrenching and beautiful (if I do say so myself). I had the "Director's Lesser Known Games" threads, a couple of other help threads, and a TON of Halo discussion threads. I participated in the "Great Shoutbox RolePlay", with Donut, Ashlynn, and others. It was the most organized this site has ever been, and it was a blast. It was basically improv in the shoutbox. That was when the shoutbox wasn't nearly as packed as it is now, and we could get away with hijacking it the way we did. I also held the first ever Minecraft Playdate and actually made it. For the last half. I also hosted a couple of other playdates, including Dog's first ever playdate, and have played a lot of Halo with the members here. I was the first forum president, a Member of the Month, the first non-staff to receive an award (while Twam was creating the award system), and at one point the member with the most awards. I think I still have the most types of awards, but I'm not sure. It was sometime between the Achievement Help and my Minecraft thread that I was first asked to be a moderator. At the time, I didn't want the responsibility and hassle that comes along with the job. I turned it down. A year or so later and after a period of time where I was only coming on the forum to answer questions in ATD, Absolute Dog messaged me asking if I wanted to be a moderator. Since I was looking for something new and challenging to reintegrate into the community, I said yes. As a moderator, I've been responsible for quite a bit. I explained the rules a bit more (the coloration in the rules section), I tidied up the Clan Section, and I've banned quite a few bad people. I've banned trolls, a-holes, bots, and everyone and thing that deserved a ban. I love to ban. I've also taken part in the great Spam Bot skirmishes that we've had over the past couple of years. After nearly a year on the moderator team, I had some very important personal issues that pulled me away from the site. As a result, I retired from the moderating team. Almost another year later, RSR asked me if I could come back, and I did. And here we are. Three years and 4000 posts later. The thing is though, being here and posting a lot aren't exactly big accomplishments. Every single person hear can achieve that eventually. Except Azaxx. He's not going to have 4k posts by his 3 year mark. Bwah ha ha ha. There is plenty of other things that have taken place in the last 3 years that I simply have forgotten or can't talk about, but this is getting rather long so I think I'll cut it short. Anyways, that's a wall of text to commemorate my 3 year tenure on the site as well as my four-thousandth post. Happy forum birthday to me.

You have to be The Director to overthrow The Director. Then you become The Director. Except you're already The Director.

In my opinion, they could have been better. The expectations were set that what you did in the previous games would effect the ending of ME3. Then the actions you took in the previous games had no effect at all. You could do absolutely anything and still get the same three endings. They definitely could have put more into the endings that they did.

Ha. About 1% of our genetic makeup. That and our ability to create a vast amount of tools is pretty much the only thing that separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom and the "proto humans" that came before us. Which premium service? If I can afford to, yes. Yes I will. Probably twice.

I'm sorry, whatever do you mean?

You should create a post requesting that it happen again. This post is really old, and so this counts as a "thread revival", which means I have to lock it.

Fixed that quote tag for you. The American Revolution (also known as the American Revolutionary War, The American WAR of Independence, or simply the Revolutionary WAR) was in fact classified as a war. I don't know why you think it doesn't, but it not only does but is. It included thousands of troops, quite a few battles, and lasted just shy of a decade. If you think it wasn't a war because there was no declaration of war, the only time in history that a declaration of war was required for a war to be considered a war was when Nixon was trying to cheat veterans out of benefits. A war is a war despite there not being a declaration of it being so.

BulletStorm. Probably for post count. lol

Well that's what a pessimist would say. The meaning of life is to end. Everything dies. That being said though, that's just the meaning of life. The PURPOSE of life is to do things with it. What things? All things. Life is the ultimate "choose your own adventure". The only time you've not achieved the purpose of life is when you are on your death bed and you don't think you have. If you die regretting a decent chunk of the things you've done in your life, then you haven't fulfilled it's purpose.

Anything and everything. It's not. The meaning of life is death. Because of the French. They made it no longer be a Revolution and turned it into an actual war between the colonies and the British Empire. They basically decided to help the rebels out and ended up bringing the English and French war to the states, overruling the revolution. I had that response prepared because I predicted that someone would ask that. lol

Because I don't have "underdog complex".

GDR, because the rebels only win in the movies. Baryonic matter as well as potentially some other "substance" that we cannot yet see or explain fully.

So far, 100%. Also, he has two candy bars and the potential for diabetes.

Because that's my voice. My voicebox offers me two options. Speaking such as the way you heard in the podcast, or yelling.

I do have eyes, but only the worthy may see them.

Sour cream is dubbed so due to it's taste, not it's freshness. And there can still be some serious food-borne illnesses that can grow on bad sour cream.

There's no such thing as infinity to the second power because infinity isn't a number, it's a concept. Infinity times anything except for 0 is literally infinity. Some mathematicians have gone so far as creating an "infinity type 1 and infinity type 2", and proceeding to create long, complex mathematical problems on this basis. Their work is completely shattered, however, when someone poses the questions "What's the difference between the two types of infinity?" It's basic math. Even ants can step on the toes of giants, however the giant shall barely even notice. The best subforum to post in is completely dependent on your post and your personal preference.

Even if you COULD multiply infinity (which you can't because it's not a set number), it would still be infinity because it isn't a set number.

It's because of one of the definitions for the word "set". In this case, the definition would be: an apparatus of electronic components assembled so as to function as a unit. An alternate reason may be that the components that make up the television set are for two different actual devices. One for picture and the other for sound. At some point in your life I'm sure you've seen/heard of a television set where the screen would display a movie or tv show but there would be no sound, or the screen would remain black but you could hear the sound.
