Do you like Dr. Who and anime?
For the fans of Doctor Who...

Ever wanted to know what would happen if Japan turned Dr. Who into an anime? Well, this is one possible direction. :P

Very nice. Your edge flow is really good. Keep it up! :)

Don't Smoke and Raid - Moronic Forum Edition
Pretty much this. Mog is correct and got to it before I could. Also...I wish I had a giant barrel of weed.
Haha, I love how you just skimmed right over the whole subject. I will rephrase what I said to Mog into something more general: Read what my side has typed. Once you do and actually present proof against what is accepted, then please go on.
Follow Mog's example, and grow the capability to respond to a point without ignoring the rest.
NO WEED ISN'T. This is such BS. Basically everyone I know smokes pot and most of them have for years, almost none of them do any other drugs, except I don't know, non-habit forming organic shit like shrooms. (This one girl I know who wrecked her life with hard drugs is the exception but I don't blame weed for that.)
In fact, Alcohol is much more of a gateway drug than weed. I used to feel like y'all do and I would never have smoked up if I wasn't drunk at the time. Likewise, I only smoke cigarettes when I'm drunk. And any other drugs I've tried, alcohol was usually involved. Booze, more than anything else, makes you more likely to do other drugs. It annihilates your inhibitions far more effectively than weed.
And once again...you are using bad anecdotal evidence. I will admit that the "gateway drug" effect is still a hotly-debated subject, but you and your crew are hardly the right sample size to judge this.
Also, now that you've gone and brought it up, the burden of proof is on you to prove alcohol entices more people to drugs.
A "shot of beer"? lol. Puritans really shouldn't get into arguments about vices, mate.
Ah, the smell of people ignoring arguments while making irrelevant comments never ceases to amuse me. You know the old saying...when you assume, you make an ass out of u and me. :)

No it isn't. No it is not. The amount of time you hold it in your lungs is the difference between getting very high and not getting high at all. This is so incorrect I feel confident not even addressing the rest of that point.
A gas is a gas, and will always act like a gas, whether or not you believe it. The same goes for the human body.
Continuing on...
I know what you're trying to say. You can get 'high' by inhaling marijuana smoke, which is true in extreme examples like giant barrels of it on fire. However, I have never heard of anyone getting high off of casual second hand marijuana smoke and I'm waiting for you to prove that. Second hand smoke from cigs is a lot worse.
All the facts presented to the topic by my side should've added up and
Factor in tolerance, along with marijuana smoke having the capability to make you high, and you'll get my drift. It still exists in your system, therefore making the possibility existent.
I'm aware that marijuana contains chemicals. My argument is that cigs have more chemicals and said chemicals marijuana overall worse than marijuana. Addiction causing nicotine alone is a good argument for this. A chemical that makes you addicted to a product is legal to put in said product? Horrible.
I had the feeling you were trying to downplay the effects of marijuana as being trivial in comparison. I don't consider the aforementioned possibility trivial at all.
Oh, also fair. However I'm not saying that marijuana is absolutely harmless. I'm just saying it isn't the kiss of death and it's certainly not as bad as other, legal things. This is the entire basis of my argument.
I'll add in with the anecdotes and state that although I have personally caught random whiffs of weed from time to time, I have never gotten high from them either. However, despite the fact that I did not feel "high", my brain could have still been temporarily impaired in some way. I can tolerate slight bits of alcohol as well, but that does not necessarily mean my brain was not impaired at all by it either.
edit: Made a slight correction to clear something up.

What happens when you smoke? You smoke a joint, hold the smoke in your lungs for a few seconds, and you breathe it out. You just don't BREATHE THE AIR CASUALLY.
The length of time in which the smoke is held in your lungs is irrelevant. The chemicals still make their way through your system in the same way any gaseous chemical can and will do. You are arguing semantics, where semantics do not matter.
And that link is a terrible example because that's what happens when you burn a GIANT BARREL OF WEED. Are you kidding me? That's your defense?
It's my defense to this: "it's not breathing the smoke that causes you to get high". I thought I'd pull an easily-searchable example from the interwebs.
The day that school teaches kids that strolling through a cloud of marijuana smoke makes you high as a bird is the day that schools have failed our children.
And one wonders why American public education looks like it's going down... Oh yeah, don't try to make my argument look completely black and white, when it's obviously...not.
I never said that marijuana is completely clean of chemicals. I've never said this or implied this ever. I just said that cigarette smoke is worse and has more toxins and chemicals, dozens if not hundreds, including tar, nicotine, and even some shit they use in rat poison.
Marijuana smoke also contains tar, and although it does not have nicotine, it contains its own unique set of chemicals. These chemicals are, of course, not at all healthy to your system, as again stated in the articles.
Oh, and I know you never stated marijuana was clean. It was a (sarcastic) response to your general attentiveness. Once again I state the harmless bit was not directed at you. Read what I'm typing.
I'm saying that I'm not quite sure that the huge vendetta with marijuana is if many other legal, if not accepted activities are just as bad or even worse.
This is off of my point. I'm arguing the potential health issues of marijuana, not the legal or acceptance issues.
Everything I post isn't directed as an argument to you. I just posted that as a good read to whoever's interested. Don't flatter yourself too much, dude!
Perhaps a separate post would've differentiated it from the argument. You looked as if you were attempting to present it to back up your side. Again, your expression of words and ideas needs a lot of work.

Smoking marijuana causes you to become high. Smoking it. When someone smokes, it's not breathing the smoke that causes you to get high, it's actually the action of smoking the thing itself.
And...what happens when you smoke? You ingest the smoke, it goes through the normal ways, and you puff it out. Also, marijuana smoke does make someone high, as the police department of Parachute (http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/4573511/detail.html) knows. Jesus Christ on a stick, Mog.
I've never learned in high school that simply breathing marijuana smoke or smelling marijuana air made you high. I've never really learned that anywhere.
Must be the effects of the new American Public Education System. They do not teach you one plus one equals two.
It doesn't take rocket science to deduce that cigarettes contain more toxins and chemicals than marijuana. When someone smokes a cigarette, it's not just tobacco, it's the dozens if not hundreds of chemicals, tar, nicotine, etc that's also produced within the cigarette, not just tobacco itself.
And I suppose marijuana is completely clean of chemicals itself. Wait, did you read the articles I posted?
And I'm not trying to argue that it's harmless, just like I'm not trying to argue that fast food, half the shit we eat, sitting on the computer all day, alcohol, whatever is harmless. Very few things we ingest are really harmless. You can apply that argument to anything.
Strawman. Not mentioning the fact that I may not have referenced you when I stated the harmless bit, the consequences of eating fast food, being a couch potato, or various other food facts are entirely different topics in themselves. Hence my statement earlier to Tyranos about the bad analogy.

A red herring approaches! I don't give a shit if people support legalization or not. This isn't related to the point I'm arguing at all.

What facts?
...The fact that ingesting marijuana smoke causes you to become high? The fact that everyone's tolerance levels are different? You know, the same facts people have been discussing here, and which you learn in high school?
No one is going to deny that smoking anything harms your lungs one way or another. No shit there are similarities, both activities involve smoking something. However it's pretty much fact that cigarette smoke has many more harmful chemicals, tar, etc. Cigarette smoke is much more harmful to your respiratory system, and more cancerous than marijuana.
The burden of proof is on you to prove marijuana contains less toxins or dangers than tobacco. And even if it did, the fact that these toxins are even present concludes it is fallacious to argue that marijuana is harmless. Eventually, these toxins will come back and bite you where you will not like it, with continued exposure.

Relatedly, does anyone else think it is PRETTY RETARDED that there are so many campaigns targeting marijuana and so few targeting obviously more dangerous drugs? (It seems pretty obvious to me that the nation's real #1 problem drug right now is meth yet there is all this focus on the DEMON WEED. It seems silly to me.)
As far as I have learned, meth is equally as targeted as any other drug. Weed just happens to be much more publicized, by the media and otherwise.
This is really dumb. You'd rather maybe get cancer one day than get high now? I question the validity of that decision. Being high is pretty great. Cancer is bad.
As mentioned in the paper I posted (http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/evidence99/marijuana/Health_1.html) marijuana smoke contains similarities to cigarette smoke which could potentially cause respiratory problems, as well as open the user to lung cancer.
Don't believe this? Want some other sources?

I can tell from this that you do not smoke pot. For one thing, it is almost impossible to get high accidentally. It's not even easy to get high on purpose if you don't know what you're doing; you need to hold the smoke in your lungs a significant time to absorb the sweet, delicious THC.
The first five or ten times I smoked weed, it had basically little or no effect on me (being drunk at the time didn't help), probably because I wasn't doing it properly. So no one is going to like, walk by a huddle of kids passing a blunt and get a significant contact high. You'd have to be like, locked in a baked out car with them for a prolonged period.
The problem with anecdotal evidence is that it can lead to huge non sequiturs; you only have your lone experience, as opposed to scientific finds which prove otherwise. Your body, while possibly able to endure the effects of slight marijuana smoke more than others, does not represent the whole of humankind.
Which leads to this...
The other thing is that getting high does not like automatically make you retarded. Unless you are like a BRAIN SURGEON OR SOMETHING getting mildly high is not going to make you fuck up badly enough to get fired at work. I mean shit, you'd be more likely to get in trouble for REEKING OF POT than from the actual effects of the drug.
This is the same logic alcoholics toss when they say "drinking only one shot of beer isn't gonna affect me!" The issue is, it does, however relatively miniscule it may be. And because marijuana smoke has the potential to alter brain function even slightly, it opens the possibility of others becoming severely affected by it. Everyone's body is different; just as alcoholic tolerance differs from person to person, so does marijuana tolerance.
Looking to make a cutscene perfect.

Remove all party members
Be very careful with this. I once did some experiments removing every party member mid-game, and it sometimes resulted in an instant game-over for me. I'm not exactly sure what the conditions are for this to happen, but you're safer to just make the hero sprite invisible, and return it when the cutscene's done.
For instance, if I want an area to be offlimits to a character til they reach a certain level, how would I go abouts doing that?
Or even if the quests could be done continously? How do I set it up so that in order to do the next quest you have to complete the first one? And after completion you cant do it anymore?
For the levels, make a conditional branch that checks the hero's level. It's on the second page of the conditional branch event.
There are many ways to do that second one...but the most efficient way would be to use a variable, and increment the variable by one for each step in the continuous quest. If you want other quests to be dependent on that one quest, or any of its followups, use a variable check to see which level of that quest the player has completed.
