15 years ago
SO... the nypost ran a story today... a story that covered an entire page... get this... a furry in the new york tristate area. wants to legally change his name.... to his fursona.... Boomer the dog.... HE WANTS TO LEGALLY BE CALLED BOOMER THE DOG.
what is wrong with you people? lets get something straight here. there is a difference between fantasy and reality. when you start confusing, or in this case, merging the two, that is when you must wonder about the persons mental health....its not healthy. youtre pretty much throwing your life iaway... whos gonna hire a guy named boomer the dog? i mean, man... i dont have a link to this story.. but perhaps a little searching online will yeild it. as it was printed in the paper. LOL the post describes a furry as someone who likes cartoons with human characteristics, as well as liking to dress up as then. LOL... tip of the iceberg post... tip of the iceberg..
OH.. and id also like to go on a rant about a certai game.... a game which is by far the most fustrating peice of shit ive ever played in my life. a game where the missions are near impossible,.. there are no checkpoints.. aiming is a bitch... and well.... did i mention how there are no checkpoints?
people.. jak 2 , the sequal to jak and daxter on ps2, is the most fustrating game ive ever played. ive nevber screamed at the tv more frequently then while i played this game. never. EVERY mission was balls hard... BALLS FUCKING HARD. from the insane jump puzzles. to the broken car physics, to just about everything. the game was designed to be impossible to pllay. certain missions i had to cheat.. not by using codes.. but by finding an alternate way tto finish an area. cause quite frankly, the way the game wanted me to do it was FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE.. the timed missions are a bitch. the excort missions are a bitch. the jump puzzles are a bitch.. the gamw is a bitch. the only thing about the game i liked was the characters... everything else. .. including its obvious gta3 rip off mission style gameplay, fustrated me to no end. i wish i could say i liked the game.. but i pulled out just too much hair playing it.... guh.. onto jak 3...

People can do whatever they want and call themselves Mr Furry for all I care, but they better be well aware of the risks.
First thing you notice about a person: their looks. The name comes after that. Job resume, all a question of presentation. Don't need to fit in a box to fit in the world.
I don't feel the need to be "normal" or just like everyone else. I can be whom ever I want and guess what? I got friends, I got the respect of my coworkers and bosses and yeah, I have a normal name. But then if I didn't, it would only be one more strange facet of me for people to accept. And they already accept the rest.
And if they don't and I'll admit that never really happened to me, then f- them. Why should I care?
"Come again?" if I said my name was something named after an animal cartoon character.
Of course it wouldn't make sense to you though. If you're ashamed of your name, then go ahead and change it, but at the very least make it something comprehensive. Not something out of a cartoon. It's perfectly fine if you wanna just be open and about to your friends and family, but wouldn't legally changing it to something like that be a lil much?
DING DONG!
Hello this is the FBI. Is chuck.....Um, the beaver here?
No... He is not. But Chuckles the beaver does! CHUCK CHUCK CHUCK!
They will beat him to death for sure...
People should stick in the realm of reality. it's all fine and dandy to have some fun and give yourself a name that fits, but there's a line with everything you'd be better off not crossing. haha.
You seem to stick within your box of what's "acceptable", without considering how much things change. It's a very narrow view if you ask me.
But then again, you never did ask, now did you.
Perhaps in some other culture, a name like that would be acceptable, but let's be real here.
You can't make a name like that legal without being looked at twice for it, or are you just not getting that? It's stupid to even consider it in the first place. As a nick name or something for fun, sure. But hey, what do I really know about culture besides the fact people give furries enough crap for the things they do already?
Look, if your goal in life is to transform into your character, and roam around happy-go-lucky without a single care in the world, then go right ahead, but don't get upset if people you meet wonder if you're alright in the head.
Fake names, Alias', Nick names, those are fine, but there's a thing called going over board, have you heard about that? That's like a person who wants to be an anthropomorphic animal so bad, they'd get an operation to get fur put in, a muzzle made on their face, clas surgically put in, a tail, all that, and to top it off, change their name.
And I wouldn't be surprised if somebody actually tried this. But you know how remarkably stupid that is? For real?
You have your beliefs, I'm sure. And I'm perfectly fine with that. I understand the point you're trying to make, and yes, people shouldn't be limited to only what the public deems decent, but you have to understand what I'm getting at too. And again, if you wanna go parading around in a suit with a silly furry name like that and expect to get a professional job, don't expect to be taken seriously, or even hired for that matter. Unless they think said name is some sorta nickname, you're pretty sunk on that, buddy.
I'm done here, I actually have things to do. But yeah, you take care.
Peace.
Native Americans were given names by there vision. THEY WERE NOT MADE UP. They did not get permission to choose. So do many other countries and societies. Your name was given to you at birth. BUT your to cool for it and want to be named after something cooler like a dragon... You don't name yourself. It is as simple as that even though you do have permission to change it.
Everyone knows that the name/contact info in a job a application is very important. Mostly anyone that will see Bahamut dragon as your real name will laugh and throw your application away. If you change it, I don't care. I am just warning you.
If a man gets a sex change to become a woman or vice-versa. I would find it normal for him or her to get a suitable name for his or her new sex. You are not a dragon nor do I think you can become one. It is as simple as that.
Do you know what my skin color is? Think about that when you pull out the race card on someone.
BTW "Mota"vated... Mota is my last name. "Motoro" Is my sonas name and is also based on my real name. I am named by my father whom I don't like. I am not going to change my name just cus I hate it... If your are soooo damn good. Make that name you have currently work for you.
I actually want you to change your name now. I bet you would change it back to a human name QUICK! Especially if you live in America.
a couple people have complained that you should not judge based on name. but i keep telling them. this is how the world works. you muight have decent credentials but if you sign your name slappy the squirrel, and be serious about it, your potential enployer will most likely attempt to have you comitted.
you cannot honest do something so bizarre and ludicrist and exect people not to lift an eyebrow. that thought alone makes you need help.
You know how america is right? You get a job and you make money. And with that money you can do anything you want. If you want money and to keep your job, you have to follow company rules. follow the rules and you will get paid. SIMPLE! If you change your name. I think no one will take you seriously.... And no company wants to be associated with you.
"Everyone knows". That is so highly dependant on a lot of stuff. The person who hired me was in his 20s, and I live in a pretty liberal society, so I think I would have had a good chance. And I had good recommandations from a previous employer whom I got an internship at.
Now if the person hiring was different, perhaps more conservative, then I suppose it's possible that I would have had a tougher time. But then again, why? Does it mean they'll only hire people with names they "recognise"? Like I said in another thread, would foreign names be acceptable?
I don't know what your skin color is and you're right, I made an assumption, and shouldn't have.
Quite honestly, the one reason why I don't change my name is because I feel researching it would pop up a lot of material about me which, in a less judgemental world, wouldn't matter. Things being as they are however, for now, I'd rather keep both identities separate. Were I to believe that they (the world) would be tolerent of choices I've made under Bahamut Dragons, sure, I'd change it. In a heart beat.
And I don't live in America, I live in Canada. You know, that place with free health care and lesser crime, that place where gay weddings are legal EVERYWHERE. That place. Who's making assumptions now?
James S Donald also is fluent in two languages and can type and what not....
I will hire James first. Then hire you with a lower salary if James rejects.... THAT is what is going to happen with that name. TRUST!
Dude I live in Cali. I voted for gay rights and their marriage till the supreme court overturned it. I have gone to gay weddings and what not. Stop "Ass"uming stuff.... But I is not gay....
CANADA! The country where you can legally have sex with girls when they turn 16..... Less crime? Don't worry.... Me and my family are jumping your boarder soon and taking it over. Watch! What you Canadians going to do? Tell me to leave kindly?
Exactly! I can go to your myspace or facebook or tweeter or whatever and anyone can find out shit from you. That is one reason I and others have an alias. People should not combine both their personal lives with there normal lives together.... It should always be separate... A combination of both is catastrophic! Their is a reason I did not mention My real first name....
But no matter. I've said my piece and I'm moving on. Take care guys.
if you want to make this about usa vs. canada i will gladly tear your country and a ton of its ridiculous laws to shreads.
thanks
people who claim they breezed through the game obviously dont remember it very well.
user ishoka is playing it over his stream. he originally told me he didnt find it that hard and found it fun.
this second playthrough is revealing a bit different take on the game.. mostly filled with him screaming BULLSHIT
its fun to pretend.. but lets.... keep it pretend XD
its like coming to work naked and screaming racism when people look at you in horror
Honestly though, I would tell "Boomer" if he wanted to change his name, I would suggest using the last name of the dog's family, if he had one (not familiar with the show). It would have a much better chance of being accepted than just "Boomer The Dog".
It's bad enough that the controls are bad, but couple that with a camera worse than castlevania 64 and an
ugly ass filter and you have the makings of a train wreck of a mission.
so many things imoeded your gameplay.. things as small as, puting one of that circlar gates which you need to drive through right at the edge of a cliff. yeah.... those gates blur whats on the other side of it.... have fun falling off a cliff
No.
Just effin' error mate.
that games jump puzzles, lack of checkpoints, 4 hit points, poor driving mechanics, and at times infuriating camera, made that game by far the most fustrating ive ever played.
i dont buy anyone who says they breezed through it
i beat metal marines after a few tries, but jak 2 was quite literally a joke.
of course after testing games for three years, most games are a joke for me, unfortunately
right.
the fact that jak 2 has no checkpoints, no aiming system, no way to strafe along with an awkward camera which more often then not causes you to misjudge depth of platforms, i tend to beleive that, no matter how good of a gamer you think you are, this game will fustrate you. cause its trail and error. and trail and error sucks.
if youre trying to tell me you finished every mission in 5 or less tries, quite frankly, id laugh in your face. XD some of them were borderline impossible.... i mean really dude.. calling this game a joke? have you even played this game?
i was just making a comment, you dont have to get all high and mighty, thinking your the best game player and since it was hard for you it must be for everyone
sheesh
and quite frankly youre missing the point of my critic sm of this game. i dont suck at video games. i always play on hard mode. i love challanges. however there is adifference when a games poor design and mechanics impede gameplay and make a gsme that is already balls hard nearly impossible.
jak 2 is full of such flaws. flaws that no amount of skill can overcome. so yeah. i can say without a doubt this game was hard for just about everyone. and reading user reviews online, im not that far off.
I've tried to play worse games anyways. Playstation one had a few good/bad? ones. In particular i'm reminded of a military shooter just barely more sophisticated than "Doom" and a heck of a lot buggier.
all im saying is, if you have a secret online life where you find cartoon characters fuckable and can better relate to a cartoon to a human, thats fine. but i think people should continue to note a liine between reality and fantasy. any psychologist would look at this guy and say he needs a lot of help.
youre right, its his choice, he can do whatever he wants. but that doesnt stop it from being the most ridiculous retarded thing ive ever heard. and it doesnt stop me from thinking that any human being who wants to be a cartoon character and known as boomer the dog neesds help.

Sorry, couldn´t find an english version... ^^;
also i think you can change your name to your fursona but only if it makes since like there is a first and last name. FOr ex. My Fursona is Lapris Felwitch....DOesnt seem all that strange and whe ni intro myuself I'll be like HIya im Lapris.
WHile RL my name is Sabrina Whatsittoya ( fake)
so....Ya.....POINT IS HAVE A AWESOME FIRST AND LAST NAME AS FURSONA , if you wanna change it to match rl.. In which ppl wont think twice...jsut that it might be an ALias....but Boomer the Dog is more of a Nickname and not worthy to be made into a real life name...
as for the game i havent played in years.
But I would have to laugh at this guy in particular's name for having such a shit last name. Not that names you're born with are always boring and normal. I had a friend that sounded like she was a prostitute for her name. If I'd have realised that when i was younger, I'd probably have made fun of her for it. I also had two friends with last names that referred to their genitals. Sometimes, people are just born into such cruel names.
My name is rather nice, but I wouldn't mind changing it to my online alias. Not because I prefer my online one, but because I chose it so it means more to me.
And I never played that game, so no comment there.
For example, many Terran morphs in the Chakaverse have them and they date from the period when most of the morph species were created in genetic labs.
Going back to the genetic made morph thing, they'd probably want to try and get REAL last names as soon as possible. having your last name be your species just sucks. I'd hate to be John the Human... Though, Finn the Human makes it seem like a pretty cool last name.
So you might not have "John the Cat", but "Jean la Chat" doesn't sound so bad and could quickly mutate into "Jean Lachat".
Of course, often with comic/cartoon characters the use of "the <foo>" is not intended as a surname but rather nothing more than character description for the audience.
Megazone, (of Undocumented Features fame), has had little to no problems from having changed his name. In fact, he got at least one job because the guy doing the hiring wanted to ask about the name.
Also, this is hardly the first case of making one's fandom name the 'real' one: Tygger Graf changed her name over a decade and a half ago.

You think Jak 2 is hard? Play I want to be the Guy for about an hour and you'll happily go back to Jak 2's jump puzzles. Okay, yeah, IWTBTG was designed to be frustrating and annoying. But it's a good solution when you're fed up with a particular game, because it's designed to kill you. Over. And over. And over. In lots of new and inventive ways.
