Machinima as a professional film medium

wayken @wayken (36) • United States 18 Sep 11

I want to talk about machinima being a professional film medium, or we could translate that as a "legitimate" film medium. What I mean is...the mainstream (not all, but most) don't take this form of film making seriously. In...

wayken There is no actual best, it's what works best for you. Some people operate better in the harder forms such karate, and other do better in softer arts, such as tai chi or aikido. There are many in between. Are you looking for something for self defense, or more...

Hey everyone Like most people, i dont liek violence. I think sometimes it is needed (self defence), but im not a big fan of it. However, that said, i do think that some weapons look cool. For example, shuriken, kunai knifes, and...

wayken Liking martial arts is not a bad thing, it's where your heart is. Some people learn it to control others, or put themselves above someone in some way though fear. I don't think that is your intentions, or what you desire in any way. Learning to fight and...

wayken Although he uses his martial arts training and philosophies to life issues, most of these types of Bruce Lee quotes refer to physical training and body movement. The bamboo moves with the wind, not against it, which actually gives it the power to stand strong....

What is your foundation for Truth?

wayken @wayken (36) • United States 26 Oct 10

The word truth...it's used so loosely in today's society. A simple word, but without it anything I, or anyone else says, is only opinion. There is a movement that says truth is subjective, that nothing is true except that which an...

wayken The scriptures were not rewritten and changed as many attempt to claim. The bible was written by over 40 authors in about 1600 year span, making up 66 books, or letters, all together. A little past 1000 AD, when the church persecution had ended, manuscripts...

Archaiwy @Archaiwy (599) • China 25 Oct 10

A friend asked me why should he accept Christ since many christians were killed in earthquakes and tsunami, and get ill in life as those who have not accepted Christ. What should I tell him to persuade him.

wayken He seems to believe that becoming a christian means nothing bad will happen...which is far from the truth. Many have come to believe such things, which only creates disappointment and hurt. We live in a fallen world, so death and sickness is a part of life....

What does the Bible say about love?

ubermensch @ubermensch (136) • Philippines 20 Oct 10

wayken Love is certainly real. This passage doesn't necessarily speak about "being in love" as in loving a spouse, or boyfriend/girlfriend...although that type of relationship fits into love as well. Paul does not refer to a feeling, but to a relationship with God...

wayken If said honestly and sincerely, it means something. Unfortunately, the word is used as an escape of sorts, simply to get out of trouble. If it lacks sincerity, or true remorse, it's quite useless.

wayken I would have to say someone who always says sorry. How do you respond to a constant stream of sorrys? It get a little awkward at times. I've been around people like that and it's highly annoying.
