My parent's just watch the news and sometimes read things through their email thing. We have AOL and Comcast for our emails. Personally I only read things if I see them and find them interesting. x'D

LOL! Okay. It'd have me smashing things. XD

Different origins, I'd say, from the shape of the words. Nincompoop really doesn't look like it came from olde English. Looks Victorian.

(Mind you, I'm still not into scares for the sake of scares, I need unpleasant stuff to have a point besides unpleasantness so I don't think I'm ever going to play it.)
I like the songs though, both 1 and 2. They're catchy. :p-sweat

I've lived with that sort of tension in RL, so I can't say it's better than other kinds. I prefer being able to go confront what's scaring me. Mind you, a lot of what people call horror doesn't scare me. Show me gore, and I'm disgusted and bored, from years of butchering my own meat. Show me something suffering, and I'm not scared, I'm just sick and tearful. Show me a monster jumping out of the darkness, and I'm either laughing, or wanting a tire iron.

...Did someone say something about "crazy"? LOL

How do you get all your news? Online?

LOL! My family didn't get a paper when I was growing up, and I don't either. Partly for the same reason. My dad and I are both allergic to the smell of newsprint ink.

[ml1201]

Now that's a first, but not something unexpected. o.O I've never heard of anyone being allergic to the ink until now. o.o

[daikokunyo]

I'm allergic to aubergine and Dettol soaps. Not so weird and cool.

[ml1201]

What's 'aubergine' and soaps are actually one of the most common things to get allergies to because of the ingredients used for it.

[Tam I am]

Aubergine is eggplant. I can't have it either, though not because of allergies.

I told a friend I'd want to solve the problem on that Freddy's game with a tire iron, and she shared her theories and comments on the game backstory:

"I'd have to agree. If it's some consolation, based on my current
theories as to backstory, the killer is already dead. ... which,
actually isn't that much of a consolation since I also think the
killer is the Golden Freddy you see in the game, and the reason the
possessed animatronics keep stuffing guards in suits is because
they're trying to recruit a grown-up to help them get rid of him and
are too scared to face him alone.

And they're permanently stuck too young to figure out why this doesn't
seem to be working on grown-ups or that they're actually killing
anyone. Kind of like one of my cousins this one summer as a kid who...
well, he caught a frog that he wanted to keep for a pet because it
'really liked him' and 'wasn't trying to get away'. I think you can
guess why. Little kids just don't understand that kind of thing.

So, yeah... or whatever equivalent of a tire iron would need used to
get rid of the golden freddy. I think the rest would likely just go
after that..."

I have to say. I kinda envy little kids who get to be so innocent. I and my siblings knew all about death even before we could read.

[ml1201]

I have no idea what the golden freddy is. o.o; And I hadn't quite learned to read yet when I watched RoboCop, but I was starting to. x'D (what I learned about death from)

[Tam I am]

We learned from seeing real things get killed.

[daikokunyo]

I don't remember when I learnt about death (so it must've been pretty early on) but I don't really remember a time when I was really innocent. I was reading Enid Blyton by the time I was five so... yeah XD. I kept things from my mom and friends right from when I was that small, maybe even before, because I started developing my own ideas pretty quick and stopped accepting everything parents or teachers said unlike my peers. I was one lonely kid haha!

[ml1201]

I was lonely because I kind of stuck out for several reasons. ^^;

[Tam I am]

I was the kid whose parents read porn out loud, or enacted it with me in the room, and who butchered pigs and chickens, and who shot or clubbed cats. Just GUESS how much I stuck out when I finally got to public school.

Also, I hereby boycott Yahoo. It's impossible for me to ever get back into my account after I get a new computer, and their "customer service" is a fiction.

[ml1201]

o.O
What grade were you in when you started?

[Lawtan]

O.o

The death thing, I understand, as well as reproduction. If one of your parents is a biology teacher, or you live on a farm/around animals...that is kind of inevitable. Most animals live a shorter time than people...and they tend to not care if a person they don't see as a threat is trying to feed them when they...*coughs*

It's the parents enacting and reading porn in front of a child part that has me surprised.

And yeah, Yahoo is bad except for Yahoo Answers...and that is akin to asking Youtube for help.

On another note, Humor!

Well, some say that this is based on a Chuck E. Cheese employee losing it after being fired and shooting his fellow employees after closing...and that the programmer received criticism that his art style was too "wooden/doll-like/robotic"

FNaF 2 gives more hints, but no certainty. (Generally thought to be a prequel/sequel mesh-up)...sort of a thing where one of the new animatronics is responsible for originally "giving life" to the children who were killed.

Generally accepted timeline...assuming FNaF isn't going the way Zelda and most horror themed things go and have no storyline (spoilers):

1. Something happens to Fazbear's Diner, a family-owned Chuck E. Cheeses knockoff. It closes and gives rights to Fazbear Entertainment.
2. Fazbear Entertainment opens Freddy Fazbear's Pizzaria and buys the Puppet and the Old Animatronics. They dismantle and recycle the old Animatronics to make new, more modern versions. The New Foxy is torn apart by kids so often it is abandoned in the play area as "the Mangle"
3. At sometime during all of this, a child is abducted/killed outside the place.
4. The Puppet acts up, and the animatronics are installed with a malfunctioning criminal database. The first Nightguard uses a mask to keep them at bay, and insists on taking the morning shift.
5. Children start disappearing during the day, and the Old Animatronics activate during the new Nightguard's (a college student on a summer job) shift.
6. The Puppet, as a different haunted force - either from the first kid, Fazbear's Diner, or something else - puts the spirits (bodies?) of the murdered kids inside the old Animatronics.
7. A employee, implied to be the first Nightguard, is caught in a Golden Freddy suit, killing children. He runs, is caught and jailed, and later escapes and dies. His/her motivation could range from insanity by Puppet to just plain insanity.
8. The second Nightguard (or the first) spends a night at Freddy's for extra pay (or something else)...
9. The second Nightguard is then switched to the day shift for a final party, and is implied to be the "Victim of the Bite of '87")
10. Fazbear Entertainment closes the place for investigation. The new models are taken, and the old models "fixed." Foxy will eventually become out of order.
11. The third Nightguard, Phoneguy, takes over months later when the trials and all are over. He installs security doors and the like at the new location, and ties it to a limited power generator. He holds the job for years...with occasional switching with another guard who "doesn't make it"
12. Phoneguy is eventually caught/killed, but not before leaving tips to Mike, the protagonist of FNaF 1. Events happen.
13. Due to bad publicity (you think!) Fazbear Entertainment declares bankruptcy.

[Tam I am]

LOL! Yeah, you think?

This is neat. Do you think it's library material?

[Lawtan]

Oh, I remember those things! Mine broke lol.

While the video may not, I'll look up something that describes the design and some information on it. :)
