The other one was too large and powerful; it had to be put down.
Here's a new one. Smaller. Trimmer. Better smelling breath.
You guys know what to do. GO!

My first reply is to blatantly note that you forgot to lock the last thread. :D

make it harder, better, faster, stronger.

Actually, I locked it, and instead of clicking "SET TOPIC NON-STICKY" I think I unlocked it again, haha. XD
Anyway, FIX'T.
-
So I just found out that my best friend's grandfather died today. :( I was shocked.
He was such an awesome guy...
-
Remember that Lucky Twice - Lucky song? Yeah, now I have the whole album.
Also, I think I can have fun with Rock Band now that they've figured out how to fix the guitar problems. And the singing is still fun.

That really sux :(

Wewt, me and my friend finished learning the Storm Eagle theme today. That song's so great. Now we've started on the Super Mario World Athletic theme.
-
alright, first page. I'm done.
-
alright, first page. I'm done.
What. No you ain't.
Also, I completely forgot to buy The Color of Water for English. We're supposed to start reading it in class tomorrow, but I'll just sleep instead. I'm really cool 8)

You need to learn Zero's themes, both the upbeat one when he saves you, and then when he sacrifices himself. Those, along with some music from Sigma's place, and Boomer Kwanger's level music are the best songs in the game IMO.

I'm so tired and have a shit load of work I should be doing... I wish I had a more caffeinated beverage than Diet COKE
-
Lol, eww, Diet coke is terrible. It's worse than Diet Pepsi, and Diet Pepsi has no substance to it. I could drink like, 10 bottles of Diet Pepsi an hour if I really wanted to. Diet Coke tastes like ass. Though Coke Zero is even worse.
-
I like Diet Pepsi more than regular Pepsi, lolz.
-
Wow. I installed Kubuntu on my laptop just to play with it just now.
I hate it. I get errors when packages install successfully. They make some thing (/etc/fstab, for one) completely stupid. For some idiotic reason, they decided that using UUIDs to reference the partitions in a PC partition table would be a good idea despite the fact that it doesn't make any fucking sense (easy to change back, but still dumb), it flagged a distribution upgrade despite me having the latest version, then bombed when it realized that my distribution was, in fact, up-to-date.
Screw this.
-
Ouch.
-

Chris' grandpa died? WHAT THE FUCK? That guy was hella cool. Man, I feel sorry for his grandma. :[
Oh, and I'm getting kicked out of my house in a little less than 3 weeks. ya.
-
What for?
-
Ofux, I'm gone for a few days and this happens?! D:
-
Yep, and I had the 100 GET, though I never announced it, lol.
-
Oh, and I'm getting kicked out of my house in a little less than 3 weeks. ya.
The shit why?
Holy shit fuck I want a 360. Hopefully they release it for PC soon, is getting a 360 controller working on your PC all that hard?
-
Remember that Lucky Twice - Lucky song? Yeah, now I have the whole album.
lol bemaniso
-
lol yeah
I actually got it from a different source first but it wasn't as high of quality as the sows release.
Wired 360 controllers just plug into the PC. There's a driver for it maybe but that's it. It's a USB controller. That said, never EVER buy Capcom games for PC. EVER. Not a single one of them works right. Every PC release they've ever EVER had has been plagued by terrible problems.
Gamestop is currently having a deal where you get an extra 30% trade-in credit when you trade in 5 games or more and I've got at least 8 games to trade in, so we'll see if I get more than $20 total haha
-

Happen to have sheet music for any of those? I'm particularly interested in Boomer Kuwanger's level music, that song's pretty rox.

Sorry to hear that. I heard DMC 3 for PC was horrible, so I was hoping that picking up a wired 360 controller would help with it.

This place has Zero's theme.
It's a pain to find others, so you might have to make do with using midis to learn. That said, there are TONS of midis floating around to use, and opening them in something like Guitar Pro can generate sheet music for it (well, within the program anyway, you can just make it display the musical staff instead of using the tabs).
Not sure how much this place will help, but here's Boomer Kuwanger's theme:
http://www.hamienet.com/midi27078_Boomer-Kuwanger.html
Is it just me, or is that sax out of tune? Kinda sounds to me like it's a little on the sharp side, though I may be wrong.
-
I found Boomer Kuwanger's theme at http://nutabs.com/tabs/megaman?symfony=2cb6664388676903bc23ef60c00bdeda
Took me a little bit to arrange, and I had to figure out how to use Guitar Pro (downloaded the demo for use in this endeavor) but I got suitable parts for me and my friend printed out. Gonna check out the Zero Rescue theme now.
Edit: Sadface, the Zero Rescue theme sucks. The only Sigma theme that place had was the second one, which sucks. And I don't see Zero's real theme on there, unless that IS his real theme. Either way, whatever. Boomer Kuwanger's theme is enough, and really all I need for now. We're most likely going to learn Setzer's theme after Boomer Kuwanger's theme.
-
Nice, you guys should record some of your playing.
-
So yeah after 3 months I finally got my copy of IIDX Distorted. Unfortunately I won't be able to use it until I get back after christmas. It arrived at my dad's today and i'll be picking it up when I go to see him.
Scores and whatnot to come.
-
Chris' grandpa died? WHAT THE FUCK?
Yeah, I know... :(
Heart attack.
That guy was hella cool. Man, I feel sorry for his grandma. :[
Yes on both counts...

Zakamiro: Wtf, that's a merry fucking christmas present :(
Spectere: Out of curiousity where is your avatar on DigitalMZX from?
-
It's from that one movie that burstroc was working on. He posted it a while back and said that the first person who claims the GIF can use it.

Oh, hehe, that movie. It's a pretty awesome clip xD
-

A fine idea. I'll do that, and upload it somewhere online.
Also, I'm kinda bummed today. I just feel really blah. I should just go to sleep mad early tonight >_>
Edit: What the hell? I can't change my avatar. If I try to change it to something other than an actor or musician, it just defaults back to my crazy tophatted Indian guy. And I don't want that. :<

I just learned how to do some fun things in DOS.
I want to try del/s *.lnk on some school computers now.

I still can't change my avatar to something good. So yes, it's Bruce Willis.
:(
-
Why is Bruce Willis so bald?

And piglike in appearance?
Dunno, this saltine should answer that question.

who cares

who cares
not you, apparently
Also, my mom made sausage for dinner. It was delicious.
-
who cares
Jesus loves you. Also I just played Umbrella chronicles for 3 and a half hours and my hands got the worst cramp. ;_;.

lol timjing is a cracker haha get it

lulz
no i m not :-[ :-[

wait what will that do :[
Delete every shortcut on the hard drive. Keep in mind the Start menu is made almost entirely of shortcuts.
-
Haha, yeah. Now you just need to ensure that it runs when the system boots :P

Wewt, I have 96 stars in Galaxy now.

Hey everyone, I decided that I'm going to become famous one day so don't forget me.

Delete all of the shortcut files in the current directory.
Also, "for /d %d in (*) do rd /s /q %d" is a lot more exciting.
-

Well my mansions are all going to be deep underground so I don't know if that's what you'd want :/
-
Well my mansions are all going to be deep underground so I don't know if that's what you'd want :/

Agreed, I could do with an underground mansion too.

It snowed today :3

I finally got Wi-Fi working on Fedora 7. Kickass.
I'll get Fedora 8 eventually, but I figure I'll get used to 7 first, since I'll find much more help online for 7.
-
105 stars now, I'm cookin' today.
Well, actually, I had my girlfriend help me with a few of them. But it's all good >__>
Also, none of my Steam games work anymore, and I'm pretty sure I broke my wifi on my Wii and DS. Too bad I'm too lazy to fix them :(
-
Just in case you didn't know this, Onyx and Affinity are both Kyle Ward. I'm positive of it.
http://www.scirecordings.com/index/artists.html
The art on this page and the random inclusion of both, their blank profiles (contrast with Color Freq), the fact that Affinity and Onyx were both on the first Pump Pro betas (no licensing issues), the similarity in sound (Y2Z blows this one apart more than any other), Kyle Ward's general fetish for aliases, the fact that basically no info can be traced on either alias outside of ITG/Pump Pro, etc. etc. etc.
Also, fear KAW - Lord of Darkness (http://www.scirecordings.com/index/images/stories/artists/pictures/photos_kaw_lordofdarkness.jpg).
-
As long as you promise to not pursue Biomilitary experiments, I'm good.
Ah, well.. does it matter if the US Government knows about them or not?
And does anyone else want a mansion when I'm rich? It's good to get this done early so there isn't any confusion when the time comes to dole out the mansions. I'll start a thread for it...

It was -12 yesterday... (10.4 Fahrenheit)
I was not expecting that.

Well, with the reception americans get when traveling the globe, I'd rather stay canadian, even if it means I have to freeze my ass of. My idea winter would consist of it never getting colder than 10 degrees (50 Fahrenheit).. I can stand down to 0, but still, I'd really rather not.

Oh wow, late 90s?
-
Wow. I spent a whole day with Arch Linux before I went back to Gentoo. I am a fanboy. :o
Actually, my main reason for switching back so soon was because some of the default settings in Arch were borderline bizarre. I deal deal with most stock systems, be it Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo, whatever, but I literally couldn't use Arch without reconfiguring the crap out of it.
So now I'm sitting in tty1, waiting for things to compile in tty0 and listening to Machinae Supremacy via mpg123 running in tty3. This is the life. :)
I also found that getting wpa_supplicant and netplug set up really isn't much of a hassle at all with Gentoo's init scripts. I mean, holy crap it's so damn easy, and it makes life so much easier when I boot the system.
-
I wish I knew something about computers.
I also wish I had motivation to fix things that do not currently work. D:
-
I'm addicted to the show 24, even if it is NeoConservative propaganda :)
-
I just spent the entire day at Stanford watching the NCAA Water Polo championships. It was fucking awesome to watch 2 teams of savage men fighting to put a little yellow ball into a goal.

I just spent 5 hours playing DnD, for serious. It was hilariously awesome :3
-

I haven't played DnD in forever.
-
I play D&D almost every week.
-
We should all get together and play D&D some time, lozl. Not on phazenet.com, though, they keep Z-lining me for no reason :/
Esper.net likes to frequently netsplit, but I've never been 'lined there. Want me to start a channel there, like #snet-dnd (actually, that sucks, but we can deal with that later)?
-
I'd be in for some D&N s.net style...
BTW, what's Z-lining? I know what netsplits are, but I'm not on IRC enough to know all that much about it.
-
D&D's not quite the same when it's not in person. As well, everyone will need to have a copy of the pertinent books, though thankfully the core rulebooks are available on the 3.5SRD. (System Resource Document) It's also kinda time-intensive, though I'd be game for it. Not running though. I'm a terribly lazy DM.
-
Lol, yeah, I'd be a lazy DM, and if we're going, I'll need time to download the right books :P (I'm not like my friend matt, who probably wouldn't even need the books.)
-
BTW, what's Z-lining?
A server or network IP ban.
-
Ouch, ok, yeah, getting Z-lined would be a pain.
-
I'll DM, if you guys want. I could probably borrow my friends rulebooks.
If you guys are really interested in it, I could probably get the friend I play with in real life to join in too, toss me a PM if you're interested in playing, if I can get more than two or three people I'll try to work out a campaign.
-
Got my laptop happily running LUNICKZ again. Rather than using KDE I've chosen to use...IceWM. KDE4 is but a month away, so I figure I'll wait for that and not muddy up this install by slapping KDE3 on it.
I might wind up switching to Window Maker, though. I used to use that a lot when I first started using Linux.
-
Actually, on second thought, I probably shouldn't DM. I was looking through the books, there's way more to it than I expected. It'd take me way too long to figure everything out.
-
I've always missed every opportunity to play D&D with my friends, but at least 3 of them have DM experience.
-
Yeah, DMing is a really intensive thing. My friend who DMs pretty much knows D&D 3rd edition core rules off the top of his head. He found a flaw in the system that in effect allowed a pet of yours to confer nearly every power in the game on you. He could make himself almost as powerful as the gods are.
-
I have a friend who's like that in Magic. He uses a blue deck, which, according to ED, "is the basis of annoying "Control" decks which are inevitably found in the hands of some nerd who will invoke some rule of the game you didn't know existed in order to counter your every action."
-
Is it me? ;_;
-
I've always wanted to try D&D, I had a friend last year who played it like every weekend. He was planning on going to college this year, but didn't, and now all he does is D&D, haha.
Also, ten more minutes until the TV is free for me to get the last two stars in Galaxy! woo~
-
Honestly, I've always enjoyed RIFTS much more than anything D&D has. Character types and situations are just way more varied.
That said, I haven't played in nearly 8 years.
Anyway, Mass Effect is a pretty cool game. It's not ZOMG amazing or anything but it's fun.
-
It seems we have a good number of people that wouldn't mind playing D&D, and that's good. Somebody does need to find a DM though, and we haven't discussed an actual IRC channel name. Again, if I registered it, it would be on irc.esper.net. Suggestions for the name?
-
I was talking my friend, and there's programs that could actually just do all of this for us, one of them being openrpg. It lets us have a virtual tabletop and stuff, along with having all of the irc functionality. That'd make it much simpler for the DM.
-
I also know of a program like that, in Java (see all of the FF6 tokens in my avatar? I made them for this program). I've never used openrpg. We could give it a shot, if nobody doesn't mind.

Yeah, blue decks are VERY spell based. I love watching control decks or counter decks, it's so funny to watch someone get completely screwed when their opponent has about 2 1/1s out and nothing else.
-
Well, I just made a mostly blue deck that's completely non creature based, it's hideous. Treadwine Prophets + Protective Bubble + Merrow Harbringer = hilarity.
Prophets are "when dealing combat damage to an opponent, you may sacrifice a merfolk. If you do, take an additional turn after this one." Protective Bubble is an aura, creature is unblockable and has shroud. Merrow Harbringer is when it comes into play, search your deck for a merfolk, reveal it, and put it on top of your library. Attack with prophets, sac creature, play harbringer, get another harbringer, rinse repeat. It helps that the Prophets are 4/4's as well. It's hideous. The only real disadvantage is that the Prophets are 4UU (I think?), so it's not the quickest off the bat.
-
Haha, nice. What's Shroud? I haven't been keeping up with all those damned new abilities and such they keep coming out with. There are way too many of those now in my opinion. I'm used to the oldschool version 1 and version 1.5 rules. I had practically memorized the old rulebook that came with old starters. I began playing sometime just before they came up with Ice Age, lol.
-
Honestly, I've always enjoyed RIFTS much more than anything D&D has. Character types and situations are just way more varied.
RIFTS is nice...if you've got 12 eons to play. It has comprehensive rules for making anything conceivable, but it takes a billion years to get it all done. The main book is also the size of a small country.
-
Shroud's creature cannot be the target of spells or abilities. It's just one of the verbage changes they're recently added to make card wording more concise (like Deathtouch and Lifelink, which are destroy creature _ deals combat damage to and you gain life equal to combat damage _ deals, respectively).

Sounds like Prism. It's an adaptable system designed to let you play in completely custom settings. It allows you to create custom items, spells, and all sorts of stuff.
http://www.rpglibrary.org/systems/prism/toc.html It's somewhere around 140 pages, printed out in full, if I remember correctly, and that's only the base system.

Ahh, I've been out of touch for a while. Hell, by the time they were introducing Slivers, I was barely paying any attention to the game, and that was after I renewed my interest, and lost it again.
-
Heh, oldfag. Slivers are ancient, I didn't start even playing until 7th edition.
-
Lmao, as I said, I was playing Magic before they came out with Ice Age. Yes, I am an Oldfag when it comes to Magic.
EDIT: Well, I didn't mean when they FIRST introduced Slivers, but I was referring to the newer editions when they re-introduced slivers and they become a big deal for a while.
-
My Chem teacher in high school has a full set of everything up to and including Ice Age. She quit after that because she didn't want to waste her time.
Yes, she has a FULL Alpha AND Beta set, among other things. All in mint.
-
Jesus tapdancing Christ on a bun.
That muct be worth a FORTUNE. Hell, some individual cards in alpha and beta are worth a ton, a full set is practically priceless.
-
That's hideous. I'm going to steal it ;_;
Also: I quit before the second generation of slivers came out, so nyah. :3
Third: There's less to DM-ing than I thought after all. I might download openrpg and start fiddling around with building a campaign.

Yeah, I hadn't seen any videos yet either. I read the, like, 6-page article on it in Nintendo Power the other day, it looks so sick. I can't wait until it comes out (Febtober)
-
No More Heroes just keeps looking cooler and cooler
I really do want it. At first the combat looked like repetitive slash slash slash then final blow, but now it looks a lot better with all of the punches that can stun and then go into a throwing move. Almost looks like God Hand.
Control in the game is a highlight of the experience, thanks to a very smart use of the Wii controller as well as a combo system tailor-made to show it off. You'll move Travis with the Nunchuk and use the C button to reset the camera behind you. When held down, the Z button locks on to your enemy, and it also automatically blocks if you're not attacking. You'll use the remote to attack by pressing the A and B buttons to punch and kick. You'll be able to perform powerful charge attacks by holding down either button for a bit. The remote's D pad will let you dodge attacks by pressing up, down, left, or right if you're locked on to an enemy, which works well. The B button will also let you initiate powerful multipart wrestling moves that will require you to follow onscreen prompts to wave the remote and Nunchuk in specific directions. The interesting wrinkle to your attack is that Travis' attack level is determined by the height at which you hold the Nunchuk and remote. Holding the controllers rather high causes all your attacks to land from around the chest up, whereas holding them a bit lower directs your attacks to the chest and below. This becomes an important element during battle when enemies start to block your attacks, and was also useful, in the case of the demo, during the boss fight. From what we figured out, if you can match the height of an incoming projectile from Destroyman and time your attack properly, you can actually bat it back at him.
This plus Devil May Cry 4 and Ninja Gaiden are going to be some of the best action games coming out.
-
Also: I quit before the second generation of slivers came out, so nyah. :3
I mentioned my timeline was this: Start.. ?? I dunno. End.. Sometime after Ice Age came out, probably about when chronicles came out.
I have cards from tempest, exodus, and another 1 or 2 of those as well (well, had, I doubt I own more than 5 cards any more.)
I started back just before 7th came out, and then stopped before the next set of slivers came out, so pretty quickly.
My first booster pack from 7th had a Serra Angel in it. Pretty good luck for me, lol.
-
Heh, nice. I started right as 7th edition came out, and stopped buying cards right as the card art style changed. So yeah, 8th edition. I started playing again recently though, over OCTGN.
-
Double-poost.
So, actually, I think I am going to attempt to set up a campaign for d20 Future, provided I have two or three takers. Who's up for it?
-
This is why you don't give Spectere access to fbset:
(http://files.spectere.net/pictures/photos/useless-fb.jpg)
SECOND MOST USELESS FRAMEBUFFER EVER (second to the null driver, of course).
-
The hell does fbset do? Also, 320x240 on a screen that is more than 10" is painful to see. (minus TVs of course)
-

I don't know anything about modern, to be honest.
-
Same.
-
It's the same system, for the most part. I think things are on a smaller scale, that's about it. I've played them both, and it was definately simpler to make a character for d20 Modern than for D&D, that's for sure. I'm going to have my campaign be mostly realistic, so there isn't going to be any mucking around with spells and such, so I'm going to have a modify the rules and potential classes a bit.
Plus, I prefer a sci-fi setting to a fantasy one.

Displays the current mode that the Linux framebuffer is running in. It also allows you to change it.

At that resolution, the letters are literally as wide as my pinky.

That's how you make a stable Gentoo installation an unstable one.
It's not for my main one, of course; it's for my secondary one, just to fool with.

This item will be released on March 30, 2008
Is that real, or just total BS?
Note: orders placed now for this item will not be dispatched in time for Christmas. See last-order dates. However, it may still be possible to buy it new and used from our third-party sellers. Dispatched from and sold by Amazon.co.uk.
Secondhand eh? Ok, That makes sense.
-
Secondhand eh? Ok, That makes sense.
I doubt it's real, there would be a HEUGG deal about it.
-
Yeah, I didn't really think it was real... Still kinda funny though, especially with the "buy it new or secondhand" bit.
-
Haha I looked it up on wikipedia. Never heard of it but jeez 10 years??? That's ridiculous I would just scrap the idea all together.
Funny thing is is that it reminds me of almost of every Stepmania team project ever done (ITG Rebirth, VJAMix Distorted, etc.)

Does anyone here still talk to vlad?
I want to know if he likes me or not

Wait, did he quit or something? : |
Edit: Oh man Tsutter just registered.

Ouch, he was always one of the people I liked (not that I don't like anyone here, lol, but I always enjoyed chatting with him). Anyone know what it was about? His last posts don't shed any light on the subject.

I like the fact that the batteries for my laptop and my mom's laptop are mostly compatible. This is one of those rare moments where my laptop is completely disconnected from everything. I'm so used to being plugged into the wall that when I shifted positions I literally took care to keep the non-existent power cord from being tugged out or pulled.
By "mostly compatible" I mean that my lappy won't charge her battery. I doubt that was an intentional design element since her laptop can charge my battery (well, when it was actually still able to hold a charge, that is ;)), just one of those dealies where my laptop doesn't really know what the hell the battery actually is.
Meh, I wish I understood more about the control circuitry on Li-Ion batteries. I know basically what it all does, I just want to know more about what it actually sends to the computer, aside from charge information; model specific stuff.
Edit: Also, it's kind of amazing how much more power dual-core processors suck down. Her laptop (Inspiron E1505 with an 1.73GHz Core Duo and an Intel GMA) lasts about 2:30 while my system (Inspiron 9300 with a 1.73GHz Pentium-M and a RADEON X300) lasts more than 4:20 (lol 420).
Speaking of the whole charging situation, to make matters even more facepalm-y, my charger works with hers but her charger doesn't work with mine, due to hers only requiring a 65W AC adapter and mine requiring a 90W one. I can't win! XD
-
Wow.. lol, just wow.
-
That's odd, but I've seen similar things happening with cellphone batteries. I've used chargers for different brands and really had no problems, while I've heard horror stories when the same thing is tried. I guess it just depends on the make of your phone (or laptop!) and the battery you're using.
-
You're generally fine as long as you make sure that both devices use the same voltage and pump out enough amps. For instance, I wouldn't charge my phone (Motorola V3x) on my mom's charger (she has a Moto V3) despite them both using a mini-USB jack simply because her charger doesn't put out the same amperage as mine (I forget the exact figures). The Moto triples phones (V400/V500/V600), on the other hand, shares the same charger with many of the other V-series phones, such as my old V620 (currently my dad's -- as far as features go, it's a V3 RAZR in a V600 shell with considerably better styling).
The Nokia phones that I've used industry-standard jacks and have all basically had interchangeable chargers. The old Motorola phone that I had way back when (1999? 2000?) used the same charger as my Nokia 3595 and 6010, if I remember correctly. I love those kind of phones; you can get a fairly inexpensive AC adapter from Radio Shack that'll do the trick rather than paying out the ass for an official charger should yours ever get lost/stolen/broken.
-
Yeah, my phone's a Nokia, and apparently the charger seems to work for basically everything it fits in, which is nice. However it seems like no one else in the universe has a Nokia. Which is strange to me, because for a budget phone, mine really kicks ass. It's in the same price range as the razr, ie free with your plan, but it's much more reliable, and looks better as well. I swear, razrs fail it, but everyone thinks they're awesome because they're all skinny-like. Sure, my phone is thicker, but it's also better in every way.
-
RAZRs are impressive for the simple reason that they cram 2.5G technology (now 3G!) in such a ridiculously small case. They're also pretty damn cheap now.
Also, don't discount the mini-USB port. You can do some incredible things with Motorola phones just by having access to a data port. Since it uses such a standard cable, anyone can hack the shit out of any of the released RAZRs.

So I've started learning Perl. The only other language I've ever really done anything with was in was VB, and even then it was 5 years ago and I've forgotten everything I learned in that class.
Anyways, Perl is a surprisingly intuitive language. I'm enjoying this.
-
Wow, that's ironic; I started learning Perl recently as well. :o
I'm amazed at how slick and seamlessly it converts between data types.

Alright I'll try to make this as legal a post I can.
I need a thing, to make things come to my computer-machine over the internet(s).
I have tried a lot of things. Note: I am looking for a thing that is specifically used for making 'single' things come to my computer-machine, other than using the [insert word for hard rainstorm here]ing large collections of things at once.
help?

I just started today. I haven't done anything external yet.
The reason I chose it is because when I installed Ubuntu 7.10 on my computer, I found interpreter/compilers for C++, Java, Perl, and Python in the installation. For whatever reason, I chose to learn Perl first. I've been meaning to teach myself a programming language, but I never really committed myself to it. Now that I have Ubuntu, it's really easy. Way easier than learning on XP.

You're allowed to say the name "BitTorrent," y'know... XD
Also, file sharing is legal; what most people do with it isn't. I'm sure you wouldn't use this program for anything illegal, riiiiiiiiight?? ;)
Anyway, give Soulseek (http://www.slsknet.org/) a shot. It's a great way of getting...perfectly...legal...files, especially music.

They still get craptacular reception. My friend's oldschool piece of shit phone had WAY better reception than any RAZR I've seen.

It depends more on the network than the phone in a lot of cases. My mom's RAZR and my V3x (still technically considered a RAZR, but it's much thicker and is 3G) stomp the shit out of our old Nokia phones, and are on par with the LG and Samsung phones that I've used on T-Mobile. Also, RAZRs are generally GSM phones (aside from the V3m and similar CDMA ones). CDMA networks are older and better-established, so it goes without saying that you're going to get better reception on those kinds of networks (which are the very ones that older phones tend to use).
I still prefer GSM for the freedom of it. You don't get locked into using the phones available from AT&T and T-Mobile (or Rogers, in Canada); I bought mine retail.
yay! this works just perfectly for my perfectly legal doings. I just needed a program to get singular songs rather than entire albums. Now I have utilities to do both :D yay me
And I'm sure you're only getting songs with expired copyrights, or perfectly legitimate, freely distributed songs. ;)

That song is a mess : |
-
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v253/annonymous/rd.png)
Heh heh heh heh heh...
That said, it does leave the files in the current directory intact...nothing a quick "del /q /f *" won't fix.
-
What's that do, just like, delete everything? D:
-
Here's a quick explanation:
The "rd" command deletes an empty directory. In Windows NT, if you use the "/s" switch, it'll delete a directory and all of the files in it. If you add the "/q" switch, it'll do so without prompting.
The "for" command allows you to create loops that work by cycling through files, cycling through directories (either recursively or not), going through a set of numbers, or processing a text file and pulling tokens from that. When using the "/d" switch with the set "*", it cycles through all of the directories in the current one.
"for" works by putting each matching token into a variable and allowing you to do whatever you like with it in your command (which is specified after "do"). In this particular case, "d" is the variable.
So, basically, "for /d %d in (*) do rd /s /q %d" cycles through all of the directories names in the location that you ran the command from and passes them to the "rd" command for deletion. It does have some limitations, though. It doesn't delete directories with the "hidden" bit set, it doesn't traverse backwards through the directory structure (basically, it won't follow ".." -- i.e. going back to the previous directory -- and wipe out the entire drive), and it doesn't delete the files in the directory that it's run from.
-
Still a pretty good way to pwn a computer though.
-
So it deletes almost everything.
-
If you were to run it in the root directory, yeah. It obviously wouldn't wipe out files that were in use and such, but it would do quite a bit of damage.
ALSO, I got to play on a free play'd ITG2 tonight. The coin mech on the machine broke and allowed my acquaintances to access the operator menu. Many hard songs were played on first stage tonight. :P
-
Heh, nice. I really wish I still had an ITG Machine around. Illusionz closed about a year ago, so that little bit of bemani history's dead as well. It's kind of a bummer.
-
Holy crap, that place closed?
That's a shame, from what I've heard that place was like Bemani heaven.
-
Yeah, it was pretty awesome. The only things they didn't have were IIDX and Pump it up, and there was a pretty good Pump it Up machine about 20 minutes from there. It's really a bummer, there aren't any ITG machines nearby anymore, as far as I know, and the only half-decent DDR machines are at Gameworks, which is constantly full of people playing retarded songs on light.
-

my ddr arcade has emos in it. Thankfully, it's at an advantage to me, since they're generally impressed with my SDGs on 9s. 8)

Same story with the DDR machine at my bowling alley, also I'm assuming that "hot girls" is being sarcastic?
-
There's some pretty hot scene/emo chicks. And punk ones :3

A lot of scene kids frequent the arcade I go to. They're always impressed whenever I do expert songs barless.

I could agree, but sometimes the more attractive emo/scene chicks have piss poor personalties.

Agreed.

On occasion. Most of my brother's friends are pretty hot though. And pretty nice, too. though they're practically all vegan/vegetarian :/
-
Man, I could talk about DDR experiences right now...in fact, I think I shall!
I like it when hot girls go "WOW!" when they see me do something incredible (playing no bar is also a plus), but my favorite is when a group of black people watch me play. Oh my god, it's amazing. Let me tell you of 2 stories.
1st story - I was in a bowling alley in Atlanta, Georgia to play DDR one night. I was playing like usual, when a bunch of black people were watching me play. They gave me compliments like "Damn son, you're good!" Well...I finish Across The Nightmare oni, and get an FC (only an A though :(). Here's the thing though; as soon as I'm done playing the song, one of the black people go, "DAMN, SOMEONE STOLE THE WHITE OUTTA THIS KID!"
Made my fucking day, man.
2nd story is not as entertaining. Basically, I FC Broken My Heart with 18 greats on a SuperNOVA machine, and a black crowd cheers like MAD FUCK. Like...I was LilQ getting a quadstar in a tournament.
Moral of my post? Black crowds > Scene crowds, although you might get a girlfriend through a scene crowd. ;)
-

Meh, I don't know many scene/emo girls but some of them seem somewhat stuck up in a weird way. Tho there are some that are nice and aren't caught up in their own shit. Also I BET YOU WANT TO SLIP THEM UR MEAT HUR HUR HUR.
Here's the thing though; as soon as I'm done playing the song, one of the black people go, "DAMN, SOMEONE STOLE THE WHITE OUTTA THIS KID!"

I still need one more person for d20 future.

I worked 40 hours from Thursday-Sunday. I get one day off and then more work.
I work with some hot girls but honestly, work and play don't mix. I'm at least good friends with all of them.
If any scene girls show up at the cafe, they are nearly always attached to some dork or they're ugly. Or too young. They say the perfect age for a girl is half your age plus six years but that'd be 17 for me so maybe it doesn't work so well. Or maybe it's perfect hohohoho

Sometimes I wonder it would be like to have a brother closer in age to me. My sister's closest and she's 25 (with a house and 3 kids in January). My brother's 27 (married, house, 3 kids).
I feel so slow in comparison.
-
I fail to see a problem.
I'm 19, they're 15. Small issue. Of course, the larger issue is that I already have a GF, but I can still look.. It just kinda sucks when they're 4 years younger than me... Once you get to be 19, and you see 15 year olds and stuff, they look so young to you. You know how you always think you're so mature, no matter what age you are, and that you should be granted all sorts of freedoms and stuff as you grow up, but your parents don't let you.. Well, I can understand them. Hell, in my canadian law class, which was a grade 11 class (though I was in grade 12 at the time), the class almost unanimously voted that we should increase the legal age of consent for sex till at least 16, because they understand that honestly, 14 and 15 year olds shouldn't really be allowed to have sex... You're just not very mature at 14 or 15. Even 16 is kinda low.
-

Oh yeah, that might be a problem. Also I can agree, looking at some of the kids in high school when I was a senor surprised me. Some of them looked around 11 to me.
-

Aye, I did. Got to see my entire mom's side of the family, all of whom live in or near the Louisville area. Me and my sister stayed with my cousin (his sister, who's also our cousin stayed with him too, and their spouses), who's got a kickass house. He bought an $80 bottle of bourbon just for the occasion, and we both got completely wasted Friday night (he's 29 btw). It was so much fun.
Oh, and he's like the jesus of Goldeneye too. Down here I rape everyone at the game, but I played him and christ, he beat me 16-7 in a 10-minute pistols license to kill match. Then he played my sister (the "queen" of goldeneye, hahaha) and beat her 23-3 (the 3 on her end were pity points haha).
It was quite possibly a perfect trip. Absolutely nothing went wrong, it was amazing.
-
Most of the girls are between 12 and 16.
Also, Kate's started acting differently around me, like she's actually interested in me now. I've misinterpreted her before, so I don't want to get my hopes up, though. I guess I'll just see.
-

I think my mouse wheel broke. It still works, but now it spins freely and can stay spinning for a good 10 seconds.

Also, first day of training at Nielsen went off without a hitch. Did great, participated a lot, the trainer knew me by name before everyone else (a big plus). Nine more days left to go, woo.
-
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GET TO THE CHOPPA GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
I've gone through like three or four mice in the past two months. I think most or all of them were the same or similar model, too. I have one more and I expect it to die before Christmas, fortunately I bought a MI laser mouse that looks a lot like my old HP ball mouse and it hasn't showed any signs of explodering.
-
Lazer mice own the CRAP out of ball mice...
-
Yeah, it's basically pointless to buy an analog mouse these days, especially if you plan to play games. They're impossible to use : |
-
Yeah, Although I've found that when they get really old, even lazer mice kinda get crappy. The one I have sometimes doesn't quite respond correctly. It's almost like it's sticky, lol. That, and the one we had before had a broken button... somehow the spring mechanism got messed up, and it wouldn't click properly, it would sometimes make 2 or 3 clicks when you only wanted 1 and stuff.
-
Finally beat Zone of enders 2. Fuck Anubis was cheap, at least now I can play as him.
-
The tip of my left index finger is currently so bruised that I can't play StepMania.

Lol, wow.

See? Jack Thompson is right, video games are making kids so violent that THEY'RE BRUISING THEIR FINGERS while playing them. StepMania is evil and should be wiped from the face of the world. Everybody who thinks I'm wrong is dumb and stupid and idiotic and... dumb.
-
I have no fucking clue what to get my girlfriend for x-mas, any ideas?
-
Just ask her :3
That's what I always do.
-
Yeah, that's a good course of action. Unless you want to surprise her. Then you're in trouble.
-
Asking her would be better then surprising her.
-
Especially if you end up getting something she doesn't like.
Also: I just had my ass handed to me by my japanese final. I've been mentally raped.
-
Ouch. I still wish I could take Japanese classes here though. This place fails hardcore in the languages department.
-
My highschool did, but the college I'm at is pretty good about offering lots of languages. Granted japanese is nearly impossible : |
-
I am not bad with grammar (well, basic grammar), but I'm really bad at learning vocabulary. That's always been my problem learning languages. I can read a decent amount of french simply because I know the latin rots, since about 60% of english words are latin based. However, I'm having a really hard time teaching myself japanese vocabulary, and the more advanced grammar. I have no way to really figure out where some things go in a sentence and stuff, because there's nothing on the net that accurately breaks down sentences and tells you where different things go. Like, 予定 (よてい) (Yotei) "planning to". I wouldn't have the slightest idea where to stick it.

I had that happen on my P2-300 in zomg real dos as well.
Try running it in DOSBox (http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/). I'm not sure if it'll run, or how well, but it's worth a go. Failing that, you'll have to look for a CPU slowdown program.
-
Ok, got it running in DOSBox, had to force it to emulate 10k cycles a second. Tried 9k, but that was too slow. 10k seems just right.
-
Sweet. :p
Now I'll have to try it when I get a chance.
-
And, single player mode works properly in DOSBox. In windows (even in win95 compatibility mode) it didn't work at all.
-
The compatibility modes don't do anything for DOS programs. I believe the only thing they do for Windows programs is hook certain calls so that the system reports itself as being an older version and looks like it is, too.
I've gotten the single player mode to work on my computer in XP (albeit far too fast to be playable), so it might be one of those "works on some, fails on others" things. Regardless of what caused yours not to work, DOSBox saved the day. :D
-
Lol, yeah. When I'd try single player on mine without DOSBox, it would just terminate. No warning, just gone. I tried a number of times, too.
-
The compatibility modes are just for commands. Like, the deltree command doesn't work on Windows 2000 and up, so if you set the compatibility mode to something like 98 and type in deltree /y C:\*.*, you'll delete everything. If the mode is set to XP, it won't recognize the deltree command.
-
"deltree" doesn't work in XP because the program itself hasn't been included with Windows XP. Instead, it's been rolled into the built-in rd shell command, as "rd /s". Changing the compatibility mode isn't going to make it work again.

My favorite part about BioShock was at the beginning. You crash your plane, walk into a, uh, place, find a needle, and, without prompting and for no real reason, JAB IT INTO YOUR ARM AND INJECT YOURSELF WITH WHATEVER, THEN WONDER WHY YOU SEE ZAPPIES COMING FROM YOU AND FREAK THE FUCK OUT.

Haven't they released the PC version yet? Speaking of which I still need to buy a new PC.
-
Not for a while yet. Honestly, Mass Effect ended up kinda lame. Story's boring, characters don't interact enough and your own character is too malleable to be interesting.
That, and the massive amount of recycling of locations, character models, gestures and any number of things.
It's way too easy too.

I wanted Bioshock pretty badly, but after I played a tiny bit at a friends house and I saw this

The only real complaint I had about Bioshock was the fact that there's only really about 6 enemies through the course of the game, and the combat is really easy. Aside from that, it's amazing.

someone pretended to be admins at their website? I'm not really sure, people that use such vocab are very good at making you feel that 'it is being taken care of' and that it is in 'your best interest' to stay 'steadfast'.
Basically, we aren't really telling you what happened right now so you don't go OMGFUXUWTF to the accused, and that they're working to fix it.

I was more referring to the DNS hacking. DNS hacking is not exactly easy.
-
So what did I miss?
4chon got raped again, Vladgd left, again, and we got a few new members that need to poast moar.
-
That summarizes it pretty well. I'm back home too :3

I found this a few days ago. I wish it had more levels.
-
After a good 15 weeks of being thoroughly raped by DigiPen, I am free~
Yay school! :o
How did it go?
-
Also: When are you guys back in session? I need to do stuff with you and Chase before I leave again. >:V
-
Hooray!!!!! Ordered my Swap Magic 3.6 today. Should be here by next week thank god now I can play my imports.
-
Went to one friends family Christmas party and lost in guitar hero to some 15/16 year old scene chicks (some attractive ones, at that) then went to another friends Christmas party and played ring of fire and got my ass kicked by this really strong alcoholic punch. Was a grand night.
-
Spent like 8 hours from the course of this afternoon to a few minutes ago getting the last 50 or so of the 242 total stars in Galaxy. I was told I would actually unlock something cool and fun for beating the game with both mario and luigi, but alas, I got cheated out of being satisfied. D:
-
I really really want this girl to be mine.
she will be mine.
oh yes, she will be mine.
-
Had a couple beers last night. It was a friend of my brother's birthday, they went and bought a 24 of James Ready, and I spent $10 on a 4 pack of Guinness. My GF and I drank it together. It was an ok night.
-
I really really want this girl to be mine.
she will be mine.
oh yes, she will be mine.
Your name is awesome. I just thought I'd say that.
-
After all this time haha
-
Your name is awesome. I just thought I'd say that.
I was going to say something along those lines as well.
Also, watched Hitch today with the girlfriend. Good movie, but like every movie we watch we didn't really pay much attention to it.
Also also, I think I'm going to play through Shadowrun. I've never actually beaten that game before, and I really want to :x
-
Good movie
My faith in humankind has just been lessened. That movie looks like the worst sort of movie ever made. Hell, I will admit that I'm actually interested in watching that new movie, crap, I forget the name. It's playing in select theaters now and it's a chick flick and all that. It had some sorta pretentious name. anyway, that looks like it actually has a story and is decent (and even though it's a chick flick, I'd probably like it), but I cannot stand movies like Hitch. I mean, romantic comedies for the most part tend to combine the worst aspects of both genres. Terrible jokes, and lame love stories. They RARELY ever have anything resembling a good plot, in my opinion. I mean, I watch shoujo anime because it is much more plot drive and has a lot more character development than most shounen, and I'd watch some chick flicks if they were like that. However, romantic comedies are, in my opinion, the biggest failure in move making since the oldschool B movies. At least those were entertaining due to the terrible acting.
EDIT: Fuck. I don't know what he did, or how he did it, but somehow, my brother just broke our old mouse. We switched mice a while back because the one we'd been using with this computer was making double clicks when you only meant to make single clicks, and stuff. Now, my brother switched the one we were using back, because the mouse wheel stopped working. I switched back to test it, and it worked fine, but then something weird happened. It started losing power. It kept flickering on and off really quickly and fucking up, and now it's broken.A perfectly good mouse is now broken, and we're forced to use a shitty mouse that I had considered throwing away because it sucked so much. Fuck, my brother is an idiot. EVERYTHING he touches that's electronic seems to break. I swear to fucking god. I buy a $55 headset, about 6 months later, and it's broken, thanks to him. I get a set of headphones from a friend who had some extras. A week after lending them to him, they're broken. I get a dual monitor setup, a couple months later, one monitor is dead, thanks to him. And now a perfectly fine mouse is broken. FUCK. How is this fucking possible? FUCK.
I swear to god I'm going to ban him from touching anything electronic I own pretty soon.
-
I think you mean Good Luck Chuck Bobbias, don't fucking see it. It was a giant steaming pile of romantic comedy, fucking still pissed I saw it.
-
Nope, not that one, I think it was called Atonement, if my memory serves me.
Fake Edit: Yep http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atonement_%28film%29 As far as chick flicks go, that sounds good, I'm genuinely interested.
-
That's more of a drama, and it's gotten very good reviews so far.
Also: Romantic comedies are perfectly acceptable if you're watching them with females. Otherwise, no good.
Furthermoar: I really want to see Juno.
-
Ok, what the hell. I logged in under Aldrasio and every forum was hidden to me. I logged out, and they were visible. I registered this account, and they're visible.
-
muh bad.
Try again.
-
Neat.
So I just saw I Am Legend. I liked it.

So I just saw I Am Legend. I liked it.
It was good. I just didn't like the whole religious ending and all.

So I think I have officially switched to Opera. I'm sorry but it's just way better so far. It's faster, for one thing. There are little thingers here and there that are different which I enjoy. Also, all of the Firefox extensions I use very frequently, come stock with Opera. I don't like or use the default theme, though. I just have a nice visual style installed, and set the skin to "Windows Native" so it nicely blends in with everything else.
The only real thing so far that I don't like is the fact that it doesn't come with a spell-checker. You have to download and install Aspell and a dictionary for it to work, and even then, it doesn't do the "check-as-you-type" thing. That is a surprising thing to leave out, I think. More people should use that shit :|
So anywayzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzhzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz my new life starts tomorrow. I have to leave now, but I'll explain later. Essentially, I am moving out of my current place into a sweet little trailer outside my dad's house (whom I get along with really well [and his wife (my step-mom) is awesome, too]) so I can save a shitload of money on rent and other things. I've been wanting to move for a REALLY long time because my life is just sort of turning to shit these days, in many, many aspects. So I have decided that I'm going to stop being such a fucking lazy, apathetic, dumbass failure and start doing all the shit I've been severely wanting to do for a long time. I figure, with such a big (and alegedly good) change of scenery, it's the perfect time to re-shape and renovate my life into something meaningful.
I guess I explained a bit more than I thought I would. OH WELL. I should go now.
-
Well, good luck, I hope everything turns out good from that. Oh, and you'd better keep posting, or we'll hunt you down and force you to post.

Go watch it before you give it that kind of scathing review please >_>
Also, I'm staying home from most of school today because I feel like ass. I have to go in for 6th period because I need to teach my friend all of my parts for band, so that he can take my place in the concert tonight (because I'm really cool and forgot I had training for work that I can't miss)
Also, qft haha
Also: Romantic comedies are perfectly acceptable if you're watching them with females. Otherwise, no good.
-
If you haven't noticed, Hitch was used more as an example and an entry point than the exact movie in question. I was talking about romantic comedies in general. Some are better than others, but as far as I'm concerned, they're pretty much all concentrated failure.
-
So I think I have officially switched to Opera.
:3
-
I should also point out that I used the words "rarely", "for the most part", "tend", and "in my opinion" throughout that post.
-
Terrible, I have a toothache. I fucking HATE toothaches :/
-
That sucks. I wore my retainer for the first time in a copule months last night, and I forgot how much it sucks, especially if you haven't done it for a long time.
-
<3 alice in chains.
i might load up some NCAA later.
or try mass effect
since i beat it
but my friend told me that he heard
there should be a way to keep doing the side quests even after completing the main story
i certainly hope so.
-
Alice in Chains is a pretty awesome band. I greatly approve. Also...
500GET
-
dammit
Looks like I'm going to have to play through Mass effect on a harder difficulty, and screw the main storyline, I'm going to do every side quest possible, then continue with the story.
I'm a completionist hah. I wish it wasn't such a cliffhanger ending and allowed free-roam afterwards.. oh well
-
Yeah, I love games with free-roaming after beating them.
-
The site's pretty much dead today for some reason. I SEE YOU BROWSING, POST! >:V
-
Meh, I can't get shit done. I really need to mow my lawn and do dishes, but I keep forgetting.
-
The site's pretty much dead today for some reason. I SEE YOU BROWSING, POST! >:V
If I posted for every time I wanted to say that, I'd have 1500 posts easy.
Also, booze = good.
If my posts become nonsense, you now know why.
-
I found my RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 disk (which I lost about 3 years ago) and have been playing it for about 2 hours now. I forgot how much fun it was.
-
beer is fun. that's all I've got to say.
-
There's not much to say in reply to that. <_<
-
I'm thisty, so I am going to go get some water, to drink. Who else likes to drink water.
-
I like to drink mountain dew.
-
So I spent the night at my friends house the other day, and we made some chunky margaritas. Against myself and his girl's advise, he put more ice in the blender than we needed too. Thus resulting in clumpy rather than smooth frozen margaritas.
When she left we went to the Bacardi and put them in our Jolts.. Very interesting results.. my Jolt Ultra rather disguised the taste of the rum quite well, but his Jolt Cola accentuated the whole thing, making it kick you in the mouth when you drank it.
Had two or three medium sized glasses of that, and rode a nice buzz during the resulting NCAA 08 game. Full of fumbles and interceptions and Fouls.
yay.
-
I remember when I used to play Wow hammered. Best way to play Wow IMO.
-
Why do you crazy people have weird things under your names?
Also, tomorrow is the last day of training at Nielsen! Thank the holy lord! Training is ridiculously boring. At least I'm gonna get $500 in the mail on Saturday :D
And I still haven't started my Christmas shopping, I guess I'm gonna do that on Saturday. Don't know what to get my girlfriend, haven't picked up some random gift for family members yet, etc. I'm mainly worried about getting my girlfriend something good (although why the hell should I be, luckily she's not a materialistic bitch like my last girlfriend was), I'll put some thought into it over the next couple of days. Any blanket suggestions?
-
I like to drink mountain dew.
Me too, lulz.
-
l|_|s4r
Mountain Dew is for pussies. Now I want to try Bacardi and Jolt.....
-
Who else likes to drink water.
I do. I almost always have at least one glass of iced water in my room. Of course, this is usually because I drank every soda in the house, so all that's left is water.
-
Just saw the movie Mr. Brooks, was great. Also saw Balls of Fury, and it was funnier then I suspected (I was stoned tho).
-
nice watched hot fuzz, the day after tomorrow, and something else, i think. 6 killkenneys a bottle of coors light, and some raspberry vodka with coffee.. so good.... this took too long to type...
-
nice watched hot fuzz,
That movie was great, I thought it was going to be a Shawn of the dead clone but it was completely different.
-
Eh I didn't really like it all too much, I suppose it was much too dry.. It wasn't cool till the later parts. Although I did really enjoy Shaun of the Dead. Hum.
I'm watching 100 greatest discoveries on the discovery channel
because bill nye is hosting it, and bill nye is win.

Shawn of the Dead was funny as fuck too. Hot Fuzz was more serious. Also, fight club kicks ass.

Agreed.

haha, yeah, i drink lots of poop....
What I read at first :(

Woo, tonight's the last day of training. And tomorrow I have off.
Tomorrow is also the last day of school until something like January 8th. Badassery.

Does anyone else feel bioshock is kind of difficult.. I can't seem to find a way to kill big daddies effectively, or even have enough money to buy the ammo it would take to kill them...
help?
-

That's how I felt, took for fucking ever to start, then once it did it was violent and insane, plus it really did have a good plot.
Also LEGGO MY PS TRIPLE. &feature=user

Suicide runs. Early on it's really the only thing you can do. Electrical buckshot seems to work well. Once you get the crossbow, though, it's pretty much a joke. Upgrade the damage on it, and you'll be taking them down in 5 or 6 shots.
-
Ow, my ears are ringing. I guess I listened to my cassette of Images and Words too loud on the way back from work :x
-
No such thing. That's completely impossible.
Also cassette?! Where did you obtain that gem!?

WIN. Fucking hell, that is awesome. He fucking pulled a samurai sword. That is epic!
-
Haha, that's awesome XD
And holy shit. I haven't had decent internet in sooooo long I forgot how great it is. I can now download torrents at a rate faster than 0.2 kB/s :O
-
yo
-
I wish the highspeed speeds were a bit more forgiving. Hyperspeed 1 is too fast for me to comfortably learn to read faster stuff :/
-
How the hell can you solo the battles? I've always wanted to do that.
-
You download the pack from Xbox Live if you have the 360 version. You have to play both parts though, which makes the devil battle basically retarded.
Bioshock is difficult if you treat it like a shooter. Keep in mind that Big Daddies don't attack you unless you hurt them first. Early on, electrical buck, electro bolt + anything and getting them to run into areas with exploding things is a good idea. Later on, setting proximity mine fields for them to run through makes them too easy.
-
ALWAYS BET ON DUKE.

Shit, I guess I should get a 360 with GH3 then -_-
-
Apparently I don't have the means to put my Wii into HD (my family just got an HD TV, 37 inch :)) without having those certent wires for the HD. Also everything has a much worse jagged edge with out it. Also has anyone played The Witcher?
-
I'm going to install Duke3D from my original CD..
yay
-
Just out of curiosity, anyone else listen to di.fm?
-

I have no idea what that is.
Also, I think I finally thought of some good presents for people. I'm not sure if I wanna go shopping today or tomorrow though. I'm going to a hockey game later today, and I have work tomorrow evening.
PS I'm getting my first paycheck in the mail today (or at least, I should be) and it should be for about $400-450. I'm stoked, training pays crazily.
-
Not I, but I've contemplated it. Then I realized, I have too much music on my hard drive anyways.
-
di.fm is an internet radio website. they have like, 21(?) different genres of electronic music. No IDM and that though...
-
I've been playing Misirlou over and over again on GH2. God I love that chart.
-
What the fuck, my friends are so awesome. Tonie just bought me a 160gb portable HD for christmas. If she ever called in the bill on all the shit she's bought me, man, I'd be like 3-4k in debt to her, no kidding.
-
Jesus, that's a hell of a present.
-
I got my friend the FUBAR
-
I've been playing Misirlou over and over again on GH2. God I love that chart.
Yeah it is pretty fun, I couldn't beat it for the longest time, now I love it and play it every time I put on GH2. That, Psycho Billy Freakout, free bird and 1 other song I forget the name of it though. I need to get to the status of being able to constantly beat Jordan on expert though. I've only ever beat it once, and can't beat it afterwards now, so I needa practice that.
-
I've started playing GH2 after a couple of months, and I got a whole lot better. I can strum a lot faster now because I strum by rotating my hand rather than moving my entire arm, but now whenever I rotate my hand outside of the game it feels really, really weird.
-
I still strum using my arm, sometimes I get off beat and mess up, thats my problem, I gotta fix that.
-
I'm really kickass at solos now, thanks to GH3, but I still have trouble strumming quickly and not screwing up in long strings like Misirlou and Knights of Cyrdonia have. But I've 5-starred the whole last set of songs besides Raining Blood in GH3 now >:U
-
Oh yeah, I went and beat Through the fire and flames on expert last night. GO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also, that Raining blood song, on the "hard rain" part, I scored a 96% on that part too, pretty awesome! :D
-
Yeah, so I broke the spring system in my whammy bar a few months ago, so I fixed my whammy bar using a fairly novel system: I opened up my controller, got a rubber band, and took advantage of all of the empty space in the controller to make the rubber band just tight enough to almost match the actual spring.
I still don't have GH3, though. I would've bought it for myself today, but I don't know whether or not I'll get it for Christmas. This is the only thing I don't like about the season.
-

That's disgusting . -_-
I could probably BS my way though that song, I get around an 85 when I play it on pro faceoff, but the beginning is just stupid. I can full-combo the thing on the second-fastest setting in practice, but I just don't really think my hands are big enough to comfortably stretch that much while keeping the green button held down, and at that speed.
I 100%'ed Reptilia a while back, though, that was satisfying.
-

I've seen videos of people holding the green button with their left hand and then tapping the rest with their right hand during that section.
-
I haven't played much guitar hero except at social events since my gh2 disc crapped out after my ps2 fell off my tv about 6 months ago. I've played between 10-15 hours of rock band at my friend's house every weekend since it came out though. It's so much easier but way fun with 3/4 people. We made a band and made all four of our guys look as gay as possible with pink outfits, handlebar mustaches etc. GH3 is in the mail thank god. I hope it gets here by christmas.

You can FC through the fire and flames on "slow" speed? Then you should be able to SMOKE it on the original speed. Even on slow speed I do bad on it, I can beat it, but shittily.
-
That's what I attempt to do, hold the green with my pointer then just try to hit the other notes as they come along..
Although I can hit notes fine, I need to work on my stamina for certain things. So tonight to practice I'm just going to do the slash battle by myself [as per my youtube video] and try to train my hand some more, to last longer without straining my fucking forearm muscle from all the FINGERING.
yes i said it.
-
Oh yeah, I went and beat Through the fire and flames on expert last night. GO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow. Nice one! :o
-
I really should get GH3 for the Wii. Why haven't I yet?
-
I just realized what day of the month it is. Jesus, I'm out of touch, lol.
-
So much bad music has been made at my house in the last 24 hours it's not even funny. Actually, I take that back; it's very funny.
That said, new step file coming today. :o
-
WOOT!
-
Iiiiiaaannnn we need to do stuff more often.
Also: Using an overhand grip on the controller is really helpful for some runs, you guys might want to try that.
-
s.net needs to have a meetup :/ I need to hang out with you guys sometime. Once I get my G2 that will be much more possible.
-
hai guuys it my first birthday today :)))

Man, it's so awkward hearing you guys talk about being in different states... Also, I wish I could visit my GF without parental supervision.. Then again, she does come over when my parents are out for the night and my brother is out hanging out with friends, lol. But it's different when you live on your own :/
Also, I request more psychotic music from Spectere and co.
-
NEW SIM RELEASED!! ;D
Iiiiiaaannnn we need to do stuff more often.
Indeed. Problem is, I'm still in Ohio. :o
-
I just laid around most of today, it felt great just chilin' with the breeze spillin' through my window. Now I'm wrapping my presents. I have all but my girlfriend's done. I think I'm gonna write her a letter or something and put it in with my presents.
Also, my first real day of work starts in an hour and a half. Oh noes.
PS: oh yeah! I made the most delicious breakfast for me and my sister this morning. It was amazing. I made sausage patties, cheese grits, and eggs scrambled with onions, tomatoes, green peppers and cheese.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v682/IceBlasphemy/100_0483.jpg)
-
Those eggs look kickass. I'm pretty much a pro at making scrambled eggs, but I tend to not add much of anything to them. Man, I love breakfast so much.
Also: Carly: Chase wants to head downtown again sometime before we leave, but I'm going to be gone this week. Figure out a time that'll work :U
-

Arizona blows.

Well I'm on a generic chick hunt if you will. I see an attractive girl, I want her. That's what that post was about haha.
I just want a girlfriend for xmas. haha

Gah, I should've gotten my G1 like eight months ago. :(
I'm 19, and still don't have my G2, so I think I'm likely a bit later than you are...
Also, Canada sucks too. Sometimes.

I have to ask, who the HELL would need this card?
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3012858&CatId=2306
Honestly, is there really need for 1GB of memory on a card that will choke on anything decently intense anyway?
-
There isn't 1GB on the card, it just has the capacity of using using system memory should additional texture RAM be needed. A large part of the reason that low-end cards choke is due to texture swapping (my 128MB GF6600GT at home has a problem with newer games for that very reason). Having a nice and large space to load textures -- even if it is in system memory -- would help to increase the performance.
-
I meant on complex graphic processing... I mean, sure, I'd opt for that over other cards at that price, if I was going to be buying a cheap-ass card and playing games that would push ti to it's limit, texture wise, but I'd rather spend a little more money and get a card that won't run like shit the second something needs some complex gemoetry processing.
Also, how do I fix Stepmania. My brother fucked up my graphics drivers, i reinstalled them, and now Stepmania skips frames, enough for it to really bother me when playing. I HATE jerky arrow movement.
-

Not everyone needs a high-end graphics card. The card that you linked to would be perfect for someone like my dad. It has enough power to run decent games and enough texture memory to handle newer games with the settings dropped.
My card could beat it if you strictly go by GPU performance, but that card would probably run newer games smoother (or, at the very least, with crisper textures) than mine solely due to the fact that it has double the texture memory. It's a fine card for what you pay for it.
Also, how do I fix Stepmania. My brother fucked up my graphics drivers, i reinstalled them, and now Stepmania skips frames, enough for it to really bother me when playing. I HATE jerky arrow movement.
Go into the StepMania.ini and you should see an option that specifies whether to use Direct3D or OpenGL. Try using the opposite of what it's using.
-
Ok, that fixed it, but it also disabled vsync when I saved, so i dunno whether vsync was being a problem, oh well, it works.
-
Vsync is what makes the whole screen update at the same time. If you turn Vsync off you will probably see sections of the screen updating slightly after other sections.

Shit, you me and milk should hang. If you're any where near Jupiter, that is.
Jupiter looks like it's about 3-4 hours from here. And yeah, milk fled the coop D:

Anyone know of good software to use for tracking chiptunes-like songs beside Modplug Tracker? More specifically, I want to track speedcore stuff...
-
Didn't Blue do the same thing?
Nope. Blue is still in west palm last I heard.
-

If you want to track NES-like stuff, try FamiTracker (http://famitracker.shoodot.net/). If you want to track C64-like stuff, try GoatTracker (http://cadaver.homeftp.net/tools.htm).
Other than that, uh...I dunno. You could always use chip samples in MPT; same basic effect and you usually get more effects at your disposal. You could also use a VST plugin such as QuadraSID with OpenMPT since that supports VSTs.
-
Thanks, I'll check out the two programs and plugins and see which one works for me...
-
Nope. Blue is still in west palm last I heard.
Oshi, Blue and Morti are within, like, crawling distance. :<
-
SHIT.
My hard drive started clicking again, and now it's way worse.
-
There's also MilkyTracker and MadTracker (which supports VSTs). There's actually quite a range of trackers out there. I mean, most songs done in MadTracker aren't even retro. That program is designed to bring tracking into modern music. (or modern music into tracking.)
-
Those don't make writing chiptunes any easier, though. MadTracker supports VSTs so you could use something like QuadraSID but MilkyTracker is just another tracker.
OpenMPT also has the advantage of being based off Modplug Tracker, a program that Pancake seems to be already familiar with.

My family is supposed to go up to my sister's place in Brooksville, about an hour north of here. None of us want to drive an hour there and back just to see her for a little while and have dessert with her. It's not worth it D:

My 1 TB networked storage system doesn't show up in my network. Why does the best thing I get this year have to fail so miserably? Why can't I get something that actually works properly, for once?

I'm going out of town until Friday, c'ya all then :U
Granted I might pop up here on my Grandpa's computer, so I probably won't be gone the whole time.
-
So my grandparents went to buy me a sidekick LX, but they wouldn't let them get any of the discounts that they would give me since it's my account.
Now I have the money it takes to get one, from them.
But no fucking t mobile stores are open on xmas.
How the FUCK do you NOT have ANY locations open on xmas with all these kids getting cellphones from these stupid parents that don't know how to fucking buy or activate shit, so they get it before xmas, and all the kid gets is a dead piece of fucking plastic and can't do shit with it tomorrow.
I don't even get the piece of plastic, the funds to buy it. I'm fucking raping them tomorrow when they open. I'm pissed.
Don't worry though, I am grateful and all that good stuff that they actually thought of me to do that.
Fuck t mobile.
-

I'm right there with you. Anything that says plug-n-play or supposedly takes little technical skill always gives me more trouble than tthings that are supposed to be hard. Shit can't just plug-n-play.
-

Quoted for the utter truth. I've had SO much more trouble with supposed "plug it in and it works" than "well, you have to do all this shit to make it work, and the manual weighs like, 10 lbs."
Seriously, the manual for this shit is about 6 pages, and none of it has ANY info on how to actually configure it, or warns you about any possible problems it might have. It doesn't even talk about needing DHCP or anything, it just says what order to plug it in, and when to install the programs. The manual says absolutely nothing about how to set it up, beside when to plug what in. Nothing about network settings, DHCP, how to set up static IPs for it or anything.

I'm sorry, but this type of attitude is seriously ruining holidays.
Would you like to work on Christmas? I think not. Deal with it; you'll get your phone tomorrow.
-
Still sucks though.. And for the people who DO want to work on Christmas, they get some pretty sweet bonus on their pay.
-
Well I didn't mean to make it out like I'm complaining about the whole thing, I should rephrase it as more a conversational debate. As a business owner of a quite common place to get someone a gift, do you think it would be more beneficial in the long run, if your place of business was open for consumers to either exchange or get support/activation for the products these people are getting for gifts? You could take the humanity side, which is stay closed so your employees don't work those hours, or you could be business/money minded and keep it open limited hours so people that really need certain things for their products can get them without waiting. The majority of the people in our society want instant gratification, and some businesses like WalMart are evil enough to grant it, on holidays like christmas.
I am totally against a boss MAKING someone work.. but some people really need that extra kick on their check for that holiday pay.
And I would work on christmas if it was a)after I opened gifts, and b) got holiday pay.
-
I just don't see why stores should have to be open every single day of the year. Maybe I'm just weird, but I see absolutely no reason to go out during holiday seasons. I had no desire to go to any stores today. I spent time with my family and we all had a good time. The mere thought that many people have to work today against their will (as I've been subjected to on several Thanksgivings, Easters, etc) just pisses me off.
This crap about stores and places being open on holidays does nothing more than cheapen the holiday. I'm pretty convinced that the only reason holidays still exist nowadays are for corporations to make extra money at set times of the year. It's ridiculous.
-
That seems to be a common mantra among us like-minded youth, that holidays nowadays are nothing more than commercial periods of time in which every ad and instance of media tells you/reminds you to buy something.
Woo long sentence. Hopefully that made some sense. But yeah, materialism blows. I didn't even ask for anything this year, all I honestly wanted was just to spend time with my family and girlfriend. In the end, I got that, but not without my mom interrogating me as to which items I "want" her to buy me for Christmas.
-
Meh, I actually had to try and think of something I wanted, so I just listed a few videogames. Also I feel :'( since I didn't have any money, at least I did some choirs around the house.
-
Well, yeah, I told my mom I wanted three games. That was the only thing I asked for. And I ended up only getting one of the games from her, haha. I coincidentally got another one of the games I asked for from my friend (who also coincidentally bought me the same exact game I bought him- Contra 4- but he bought the last copy GameStop had, and they were forced to give him the Display copy of the box with the game >_>)
Actually, I wonder if the Display copy will be worth more than the actual box someday :x
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention how kickass NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams is. That game is amazing, although somewhat hard.
-
Well, yeah, I told my mom I wanted three games. That was the only thing I asked for. And I ended up only getting one of the games from her, haha.
Stop stealing my Christmas, all I asked for was 3 games and 2 CDs and all I got was UR MR GAY and clothes (I needed the clothes, so that was nice, plus candy and money).
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention how kickass NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams is. That game is amazing, although somewhat hard.
Wait? the new one? I heard it was being developed by sonic team and they fucked it up?
-

I have the display copy of Pokemon Emerald. I've wondered the same thing.
-
Wait? the new one? I heard it was being developed by sonic team and they fucked it up?
Did they? I can't tell, then. I'm having loads of fun playing it, and I've never even heard of NiGHTS until a few weeks ago, so I have nothing to compare it to.
I have the display copy of Pokemon Emerald. I've wondered the same thing.
Does yours have the price in big bold numbers on the front cover? I thought about how people rip off price tags before bestowing gifts upon people, and thought it was funny how my friend wouldn't have been able to do that, haha. Not like I care about price tags anyway, still kinda funny.
-
Does yours have the price in big bold numbers on the front cover?
No, just a little red warning on the cartridge that says "NOT FOR RESALE".

My friend got Rockband [360]. I went over to play. It is fun. Yay.
I got to test out all the instruments, so that was cool. I really like the vocals part, because I like to sing haha.. "Heeeeeee's the onnnne who likes alll our pretty sonnngs". Some of the pitch stuff is hard to get used to if you really don't know the song before hand, but I kicked ass at everything haha. Drums are neato, the kick is really a test to see if you can multi task like a 'real' drummer has to haha. Hard to get used to.

Why would you go to Taiwan? Seems somewhat dangerous, also UR MR GAY does have an awesome soundtrack.
-
That sucks...sorry for your loss. =(
-
also UR MR GAY does have an awesome soundtrack.
Yeah, it does. That game's soundtrack is amazing. Also, NiGHTS has a fantastic soundtrack too, I was surprised by how good it was.
-
Besides the constant threat of Commie China invading, it's safe.
It's foreign, that's how it's dangerous.
-
Yeah but to me, you're from a foreign country. So there.
This is why we should have a great fear of each other.
-
Taiwan isn't all that bad, now, going to North Korea, if that's even possible, that would be bad. Or even staying really close to the DMZ between North and South Korea.
EDIT: So, apparently my 1TB storage server has linux on it. Looks like I've got a nice web server, once I manage to get logged in through SSH and configure everything. Fucking SSH doesn't want to let me log in though :/
-
I think I've become slightly addicted to GH3. I've been playing pretty much for the last 36 hours straight taking breaks only for sleep, food, and driving to get food and friends. My wrists are KILLING me, but I have gotten a hell of a lot better. I'm going to try to not play at all tomorrow to let my wrists recover.
-
Good luck, lol.
-
I've got a fucking toothache. Jesus, I hate toothaches.
-
Again?!
-
Yeah, we don't have any benefits at the moment, and we're not doing all that well financially, and it's more expensive for me to get dental work because I HATE dentistry, and need special things to deal with it (You know, general anesthetic and such.) I very likely require 1 or more root canals, which I'm REALLY not looking forward to. If it keeps up, I'm going to tell my parents that I need to see a dentist, and shit. Maybe, if it's still bad, I'll get them to prescribe some better pain killers or something too.
-
Wow Christ man, you should brush, floss, and use mouth wash daily. Also Akimbo > Dual wielding.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akimbo
-
Root canals are expensive but are almost painless. Getting a filling is worse.
-
So, blah. I acquired Duke Nukem 3D, and I can't even run it. For some reason my computer has issues with a lot of games, most especially ones that don't run on D3D. It's probably due to the fact that my graphics drivers are old as fuck, but I can't update them without hosing my system.
-
LoL, its funny, once we see a new duke nukem game, we all start downloading the old duke nukem game. I downloaded it a few days ago and been playing it lol.
-
Pssh, I obtained and beat Duke3D about 3 months ago. You're all slowpokes.
Sharde: Try Dosbox, that should run it.
-
So, blah. I acquired Duke Nukem 3D, and I can't even run it.
Hah, I saw a place to download that and Duke Nukem life's a beach mod, and I really wish I did. probably will sooner or later.

ARGH. Picked up a bunch of extra shifts this weekend, worked a total of 14 hours today and yesterday. Totally burned out. Sooooo relieved I'm off all next week- my next workday is a week from today. I told my girlfriend I was "sick of calling irate people, possessed paper towel dispensers and french vanilla cappuccino" (they give that and hot chocolate free to people who work there, and their hot chocolate tastes like ass)
Anyway, gonna spend all day tomorrow with the lady, should be fun. Also I picked up Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker the other day, been playing it a whole bunch. Kickass game, bought it for my friend in exchange for his old tv, haha.
-
Pssh, I obtained and beat Duke3D about 3 months ago. You're all slowpokes.
I obtained and beat Duke3D days after it came out...heh.
Also, screw DosBox; get a native Windows port like JFDuke3D (http://jonof.id.au/index.php?p=jfduke3d). ;D 3DRealms GPL'd the Duke3D source a while back.

Is that with the Nielsen job? If so, they're raping us. D: If not, D: anyway.
Speaking of that, if I have to work New Years Day (doubt it, but you never know!) I'm going to be unhappy.
-
I think the top joint on my left index finger is swollen from being used so much in Guitar Hero. I should stop, but I can't. It's just too fun.
-

Yep. I signed up for the extra shifts, but got raped anyway, rofl.
And they're closed New Year's Day, I don't think you have to worry about working then.
-
Oh yeah, forgot to mention that I'm going to my girlfriend's friend's house tomorrow with her for New Years. Should be pretty low-key, moderate drinking and whatnot. I'm just sort of happy I get to sleep with my girlfriend for once (literally sleeping, not secks). Haha I'm such a dork.
Good for you, I dunno what I'm doing for new years exactly. I should be drinking (If I'm not in bed from my fucking toothache), however, things might fall through, if we can't find a place to drink.
Oh, and dorky or not, getting to sleep with your GF is always nice. There's only been 1 time where I spent an entire night with my GF sleeping on the same thing without other people nearby :/ Albeit it was a trailer, it was on one of those tables that become insanely uncomfortable beds, and her mom was passed out on the real bed.
-
edit: Nevermind. <_<
-
I don't even think I'm doing anything for new years. Probably someones going to throw a party.
-
Actually, if I'm still taking my medication, which is pretty likely, I'm not drinking. My mom told be about how bad she got when she accidentally drank when taking some medication.... I'd rather not re-live the night I had to go to the emergency room from drinking. (well, the passing out and being sick parts anyway.)
thank god those Tylenol 3's act quickly... Codeine is fun... (and helps a LOT with the pain.) If only these were Tylenol 4's instead. (Which are double the strength of T 3's. T 3's have 30 mg codeine, where T4's have 60, lol.)
Root canals are expensive but are almost painless. Getting a filling is worse.
Well, if it involves having a needle inserted into my mouth to freeze me, then something's gonna have to be done differently, because there's no way they're doing that when I'm awake. I hate needles as it is, so if they have to give me on in my mouth, there's no fucking way I'll be able to make myself do that. Last needle I had was one to vaccinate me for Meningitis C, and I needed a 10 mg Valium tablet to calm me down enough.
-
My copy of Eurobeat Disney just arrived.
Expect a rip on sows soon.

Try to get them to knock you out if something like that has to happen. Tell them that you freak the fuck out when it comes to needles or something.
And they're closed New Year's Day, I don't think you have to worry about working then.
Yeah, the field rep that I'm with basically told me that nobody works on New Year's Day. :D TEQUILA, HERE I COME!
-
Exactly what I plan on doing. Last time involved Valium, some numbing creme for my hand, an IV sedative, and some laughing gas before putting in the IV, lol.
-
I had an unnaturally -but much deserved- good day today.
-
Exactly what I plan on doing. Last time involved Valium, some numbing creme for my hand, an IV sedative, and some laughing gas before putting in the IV, lol.
The guy put his hand in my mouth for a few seconds, it felt like I bit my cheek and then half my face went numb.
You might want to be put under just because it's boring. And maybe because the tools they use look like tiny swords and you can hear them working.
-
Yeah, hearing them working would be enough to really really bother me. I hate hating the dentist as well as needles, but as the word phobia is described, they are irrational fears. Not much I can do about them, and when I freak out, I make things much worse. I was twisting my arm while they were trying to draw blood once... With the needle still in my arm. That resulted in a rather large bruise.
-
Wow so this sucks. I have been addictively playing Half Life 2: Ep. 2 for the past couple of hours (my first time playing it, too) but then I changed the aspect ratio to widescreen and now it will not work.
-
Lame, I hate how few games support widescreen ratios properly, stuff looks TERRIBLE when stretched on my screen.
-
Huh...weird, I never had a problem with getting Source engine stuff to work in widescreen. They must have broken it with a later update or something.
-
My new year's was alright. I went to my girlfriend's brother's apartment with her and her parents, we just hung out. I didn't really care too much about all the new year's hoopla, it just seemed like another day to me. Today's pretty blah, too, I managed to not feel like getting out of bed until like 1:30, and since then I've just been playing DQM:J obsessively.
Happy new year, everyone.
-
The guy put his hand in my mouth for a few seconds, it felt like I bit my cheek and then half my face went numb.
My dentist does the same thing, I didn't even notice him using needles when I was a kid. So I went out to about 3 parties last night and saw a decent amount of people I hadn't palled around with in a while, got home about about 3:30 tho. Also in relation to Christmas GAEMS, I just bought Cel damage, Killer 7 and Battalion wars 2. So far I've won about 1 online match in BW2 and lost about 7-8, fun game tho.
-
Went over to my girlfriend's for a while, was pretty fun. Tomorrow starts band practice again, 10 hours for 4 days straight. Not looking forward to it. Goddamn.
I think I'm gonna go drink a bunch and listen to psytrance until I pass out. Night everyone.
-
Well, until now I've never had a filling or anything, so I'm not used to it. I hope everything goes well whenever I have to do that..
-
I think I just broke up with my girlfriend of over a year. She's in the shower right now and I'm fucking terrified of what she might do while she's alone. She has "a history" so-to-speak.
This is really messed up.
-
Yeah, that's kinda really scary.
-
Also, Zakamiro called me very drunk, insisting that I was fucking amazing and that he loved me very much. <3
I didn't get a drunken call...WHERE'S THE DRUNKEN CALL ZAKAMIRO?
Also that is sad about the whole drunken cheating thing, at least it wasn't anyone you knew that well, but still sounds like quite the buzz kill.
-
I didn't get a drunken call either. Nobody called me fucking amazing and said that they loved me very much. D:
I'M CUTTING MY WRISTS.
Definite boo on the cheating thing, in all seriousness. :(
-
I just lol'd at the fact that the space needle's fireworks just like, didn't go off. :V
-
I'M CUTTING MY WRISTS.
I didn't even kiss anyone :'(. SO RONERY.
-
So yeah, lost the fuel key to my car and also left my lights on overnight, killing the battery. I am really cool.
I also did end up getting pretty tipsy last night, which is I guess why I forgot to turn the lights off. I was sitting there listening to German Christmas songs for, like, a half hour after midnight, and then kinda just went inside without noticing them.
-
Fuel key? What?
Also: I've left my lights on before, I'm sure everyone does that at some point.
-
Fuel key? What?
He probably has a locking gas cap.
I ended up getting one of those for my old Toronado after some fuckwit siphoned gas out of my tank when I was 8 miles from home, causing me to run out before I could even get to a gas station.
Also: I've left my lights on before, I'm sure everyone does that at some point.
I don't think it'd be possible to accidentally leave them on with my Satty; the alarm is annoyingly loud on it.
What kills me are some of the newer cars. The car companies are getting so damn cheap that they're tying the door and warning chimes into the audio system. That's all well and good until you try to do what everyone who listens to a lot of music in their car does -- upgrade your head unit. Needless to say, I still have my loud, annoying warning chimes while my Cavalier-driving cousin has absolutely NOTHING. Way to drop the ball, GM. I doubt they're the only company that does that, too.

We should do something this weekend.
-
If you can find Cel Damage and you like car fightan gaems you should pick it up, it's one of the single most fast paced games I've played.
-
I vaguely remember that game. I at least remember the name, wasn't it for N64 or Playstation or something?
-
He probably has a locking gas cap.
Yeah, I do. My car's old, remember? >_>
Also, my sister found it in the laundry while I was gone yesterday, and my mom got the battery jumped or replaced or whatever as well. She also was generous enough to fill the gas tank up. Sweet.
-
I vaguely remember that game. I at least remember the name, wasn't it for N64 or Playstation or something?
I think x box (and apparently game cube) only, not sure if it went on the PS double or not.
http://xbox.ign.com/objects/016/016499.html
The review says it's like Quake and Twisted Metal Black thrown together, then he cries and gives it a low rating just because the game is slightly hard (I've already beaten about half of the death matches, so it's not that hard really) and gives it a low rating. God Hand anyone.

We should do something this weekend.
I'm going to Florida for school this weekend. :( Also, I've been in Ohio for a while now...
Oh yeah, speaking of which, I'm flying to Tampa this coming Sunday. TWO MONTHS IN FLORIDA? TWO MONTHS OF NOT COLD WEATHER? WHAT IS THIS.
-

It was about 38 last night here, this weird front just came in after it's been 75ish all threw December.
-
38 is quite a bit warmer than 12. It is positively bitter here tonight. It's even worse in the Cleveland area (where I was earlier for work) -- the short walk to my car (in the street, two houses to the left) was actually painful.
-
38 is quite a bit warmer than 12.
Hah, good point. I don't think I'd know what to do if it was 12 out. Also Andy Milonakis was not on the man show, so I saw we should kill him. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1299759/
-
Well I was totally wrong when I said I had permanently switched to Opera. I don't know why I keep fooling myself, I've tried using Opera before. I seriously just felt better when I started using Firefox again. Like, clicking on it in the task bar felt more "solid" or something.
Also, I discovered a really useful about:config modification that makes pages load really fuhreakin' fast.
Oh and also, as for the breaking up thing, I think it's going to be alright. She doesn't seem to be in any danger of hurting herself, although she called me claiming that her anxiety has come back and that she wants to get tested for AIDS (seriously, don't ask). This isn't the first time we've broken up, either. Or the second. But it will definitely be the last.
I feel way better though. Hooray for me.
P.S. I just rented a movie called Ice Spiders. I'll let you know how it is.
EDIT: I saw the teaser for this movie a while ago, but apparently it's coming out this month. It's called Cloverfield and it looks quite interesting.

Yeah, god, it was 30 this morning. It was ridiculously cold.
-
HOLY GOD.
My mom ended up getting me some Afrin nasal spray. I used it and HOLY FUCK. Anyone use Vicks Vaporub or something similar to that? Picture squirting that in your nasal cavity; that's seriously what this stuff reminds me of. I had a nice burning sensation in my nose for the next five minutes and my eyes kept tearing up.
On the bright side, I can breathe through my nose right now. Quite well, even.
-
Yeah, god, it was 30 this morning. It was ridiculously cold.
It was 0 this morning for me...now THAT'S cold ;)
It's currently -9 8)

Oh man. I totally forgot that was coming out this month. I've been following it since they released the trailer with the transformers movie. I'm surprised they've kept so much of the story, like what the monster is, under wraps for so long. I'll definitely go and see it when it comes out.
-
Bah, you guys are whining about nothing, around here we don't call it cold (like, seriously cold) unless it's -20 (-4F). Most winter averages between 0 and -15 (32 - 5F). And when it's 0, I can go outside without a coat. And I'm one of those Canadians who hates the cold.
-
Us losers and our warmer climate :[
-
Damn, Killer 7 is full of brick shitting moments. Probably the scariest game I've played in a long while.
-
Most winter averages between 0 and -15 (32 - 5F).
That's Ohio's winter average...
We usually drop below 0F at least once per year, just to make things painful.

Wait, uh, did I miss something? Why were you back in Ohio for a while? And why are you going down to Florida for school?

I went back to Ohio to get my car fixed up (the exhaust pipe split...fun), and for the holidays. I stayed here for a while to try to get a job somewhere since I was having approximately zero luck in Maryland.
I'm going down to Florida for training on my new job with Nielsen Media. Should be interesting.

HOLY GOD.
My mom ended up getting me some Afrin nasal spray. I used it and HOLY FUCK. Anyone use Vicks Vaporub or something similar to that? Picture squirting that in your nasal cavity; that's seriously what this stuff reminds me of. I had a nice burning sensation in my nose for the next five minutes and my eyes kept tearing up.
On the bright side, I can breathe through my nose right now. Quite well, even.
Yeah, if you use too much Afrin, you essentially destroy your sinuses. Plus, if you use it for more than two or three days you get 'addicted' to it, and actually suffer rebound congestion because you've damaged your sinuses enough for them to swell up even without you being sick/having allergies.
Horror stories about that stuff aside, it's essentially a miracle drug when it comes to congestion. If you get a cold, use that, you'll be able to breathe normally for 12+ hours on a single dose easily.
-
That's Ohio's winter average...
We usually drop below 0F at least once per year, just to make things painful.
Well, last I checked Ohio isn't all that far south, either...

Doesn't surprise me at all considering how badly it burns when you first spray it.
As for the addiction thing, I don't think I've really been using it enough for my system to become dependent on it. I've mainly been depending on Sudafed to keep my head clear while I sleep; it's always worked quite well for me.

Truth.
Well, last I checked Ohio isn't all that far south, either...
Not at all -- the only thing separating Ohio from Canada is Lake Erie, I believe.
I'm also only an hour and a half away from Ashtabula -- one of the north-most points of the state -- so it's no wonder we get the same weather as Canadia. :P

Okay... so I watched Ice Spiders. After about twenty minutes, I easily decided that it was a great contender for a bad review. But as I continued to watch, I lost track of all the things I could rip apart because of the overwhelming quantity of them. About forty-five minutes in I gave up on thinking of bad things to say about it, and decided it would be MUCH easier to note the things I liked about it, since there were drastically less of those.
For some reason, I liked the main character, Dash. His acting wasn't terrific, but he was funny, and somewhat convincing. Although, compared to most of every other actor in the film, he was brilliant.
Aside from him, I sort of liked the ending. It wasn't insanely clever or climactic, just a lot better than what I was expecting. I won't give it away fully, but it isn't one of those movies where all the monsters are ultimately blown up or shot to pieces. There wasn't an obvious cliffhanger, but there is room for a sequel. That's all I'll say.
If you want to know whether or not to watch it, I say YES. But don't spend any of your money on it, because you will be much more let down. And I only recommend to watch it for comedic value, and probably with a bunch of self-proclaimed film critiques (such as myself) who are ready to laugh hysterically at all the inconsistencies and very obvious amateurish mistakes.

so uh...i kissed a girl for the first time today.

A2P: Nice :V
Spectere: You realize Sudafed is a stimulant, right? Doesn't it make you have trouble sleeping as it is? : \
-
so uh...i kissed a girl for the first time today.
Was it a meaningful kiss or just some random awesome thing that happened? Or both?
INDULGE US
-
Oh man, reminds me of my first kiss, lol. That was.. Awkward.
Oh well, left a lot of room for improvement :P
Either way, I felt like I was walking on air for quite some time after, lol.
Spectere: You realize Sudafed is a stimulant, right? Doesn't it make you have trouble sleeping as it is? : \
I didn't know that it was a stimulant, but I know the stuff works well.
-
So Joey's over at my house. I let him start his own game in UR MR GAY 5 hours ago. He's still playing.
-
Spectere: You realize Sudafed is a stimulant, right? Doesn't it make you have trouble sleeping as it is? : \
Yeah, I know it's a stimulant. I don't really have any trouble sleeping after taking it, though. It's kinda like when I downed a Monster M-80 and promptly fell asleep...I'm weird like that.
If I actually have some solid time to devote to sleep I'll take a Benadryl. I pretty much have to make sure I have at least 8-10 hours because those things knock me out. First time I took one I was sitting there, playing Max Payne on my laptop. Ten minutes after I took it I finished up the first level. In the ten seconds that it took to load the next level I dozed off. Sitting straight up, my left hand on my keyboard, my right hand on my mouse. Apparently, I looked hilarious.
-
so uh...i kissed a girl for the first time today.
Congrats...did it hurt?
-
Apparently, I looked hilarious.
ROFL, that sounds like it needed an epic picture taken.. I assume one wasn't though...
-
No, sadly. None of us had camera phones at the time and our other camera was probably hidden somewhere. :P
-
:<
-

Is she pregnant? I heard that's how it happens.
No, sadly. None of us had camera phones at the time and our other camera was probably hidden somewhere. :P
I didn't even know such a thing was possible.
Also I just got WEE GEE in UR MR GAY.
-
Benedryl just makes me hilariously drowsy, I'll usually take two if I want to fall asleep before midnight.
-
I can't really sleep because Kate took my bed tonight and the couch is fairly uncomfortable.
-
Meh, I just realized it was sunday and I have classes (no clue which or where to go) tomorrow.

TAMPA POST.
It's nice down here. =D
P.S. THE INTERNET SPEED DOWN HERE IS FUCKIN' FAST. I clocked it at 7mbps down, 6mbps up.
-
Jesus, nice connection. My stats are something like 3 mb/s, but in reality, is 2.48 (310 kB/s), and my upload is capped at 0.448 mb/s, (56 kB/s). Kinda sucks, but my home line can't handle any faster. We idle at like, 80% line consumption and our SnR is about 5 db, which is a bit below the technical minimum safe zone of 6 db. We've always had shitty house lines. If the infrastructure around my town supported it, we could get an upgrade to 6 mbits, instead of 3 (for free), but even if the town got it, we'd be stuck with 3. I wish there was a way to drop both of those stats to something a bit more manageable.
-
That's the same speed I get at my parents' house in Ohio -- 3mbps/512kbps DSL (6mbps/768kbps for the Elite package). The cable company (Time Warner) totally sucks there. Their cable TV is fine, but their Internet speeds are atrocious. They advertise themselves as being a bazillion times faster than DSL yet half of the time you don't end up with even close to the rates that you're supposed to get (let's just say I was using my friend's "7mbps" connection and, after speedtest.net'ing it, found that he was only getting roughly 512kbps because the connection was so lousy).
Of course, in Struthers the cable company wound up inheriting another company's mess. We originally had Adelphia in that area, but when they got pwnz0red Time Warner ended up taking it over. Sadly, the connection speeds were even worse when Adelphia was in charge -- at least Time Warner's been cleaning it up since they took over.
Interestingly enough, the ISP that I'm using here in Tampa is Time Warner Business. One thing that I do need to get is a new Ethernet cable (from the front desk or whatever). The clip broke off of it and it keeps falling out of my Ethernet plug when I move my laptop. The hotel put a little weighted block on the cable, presumably to prevent it from moving around while you work. Well, it works. Unfortunately, it does too good of a job in this case.
I ended up fixing the problem by pushing the weighted part as close as I could get to my computer and wedging it in place with my external hard drive. I'm going to see if the people up front could give me another cable, though...it's annoying suddenly having the Internet connection cut out.
-
So the other day we upgraded from the agonizing pain of SBC Yahoo DSL's lowest dsl connection to Roadrunner Cable.
Damn.
Average download speed for me all my life has been around 38 kb/s. Now I'm going upwards of 400 kb/s. It's like a new world for me. I don't have to watch a video say "buffering" for 10 minutes to watch a 5 minute video without stuttering anymore.
The only downside is that my torrent downloads aren't very fast, around 80 kb/s. It may be due to the fact that the peers aren't uploading as fast as I can download. It may also be that I've been having a hard time forwarding ports on this new modem.
-
So the other day we upgraded from the agonizing pain of SBC Yahoo DSL's lowest dsl connection
Very eww. =(
My parents (more like my dad...my mom doesn't go on the Web much) have SBC. The faster plans are great. The slower ones...eh, not bad for what you pay for them, I guess. I would only take them as a last alternative to dial-up, though.
Good to hear that Time Warner doesn't suck in your area. :)
-
well around here its all sbc or time warner. although my rich friend, and by rich i mean his parents own an airplane, have a T1 line, probably though his dad's work somehow.
-
That's how it is in Struthers, Roadrunner just happens to suck there. :>
-

I've heard of such things. It's still downright ridiculous though.
-
I just saw the movie Balls of Fury, and it was probably the most hilarious movie I've ever seen.
I thought it might end up being just a really corny POS about ping pong, but it BLEW MY MIND with its comedy.
Even if you don't play the sport, I highly highly recommend it.
-
Really? Everyone I've heard talk about it says it's godawful.
-
Everyone you've heard talk about it are WRONG.
No, not really, they're entitled not to like it I guess.
It was written and directed by the guys who created and starred in Reno 911, another great movie.
I just looked it up on IMDb and I'm in awe at how bad it is being rated and reviewed. This movie seriously has some very convincing and unique comedic value to it. The acting is great, a lot of the jokes are subtle (which I love in movies and TV Shows) and the subject matter is something I'm a fan of myself, although I don't believe that is clouding my judgment at all. I recently saw another movie called Ping Pong, which was also a comedy, but it was Japanese, and even though I love ping pong and a lot of Japanese humor, I didn't think it was all that great.
Also, Dan Fogler, an actor I've never seen before was the main character, and made an amazingly convincing character.
This is possibly the most underrated movie I've ever seen, and it makes me sad. Not many movies make me laugh out loud when I'm perfectly alone.
-
So I just found out that I actually don't need to do anything at all to my PS2 to play burned disks. All I need is my old driver's license mutilated into a slide tool. Hello, GH2 customs.
-
If you get that to work out, tell me, because if I recall correctly there's no less than 7 different applications involved in making custom steps for GH2 : \
-
I've been working on an archive for months now, and there were really only 3 absolutely necessary programs to decode the archive (1), make charts to my own songs (2), load them back into the archive (1 again), and burn them to a disk (3). Go to ScoreHero and look for Guitar Hero Explorer (a.k.a. ghex) and/or Guitar Wizard (They have their good and bad sides, so I use both), Feedback chart editor, and whatever CD/DVD burning software they recommend.
Now that I think of it, chart editing is really tedious. I guess I just got used to it.
-
Sounds like kind of a lot of trouble, but I bet it kicks serious ass once you get it working. Are there any limitations on how long of a song you can do or how many notes are in it? And I assume you can't keysound them, right?
-
Hell, you can make note charts in Guitar Pro if you want, all the notes are are midi notes at fret 0 on each string.
Oh, and by the way, slide cards are NOT good for your PS2, and can damage it, and should only be used as a temporary thing.
-
Really? Everyone I've heard talk about it says it's godawful.
It's pretty funny (I saw it stoned so I'm not sure my opinion counts). It takes its self seriously the whole time, which makes it funny.
-
Being stoned doesn't usually completely skew your thoughts. Movies like this need to take themselves seriously. I mean, Blades of Glory did that, and turned out amazing. It looked lame when I first saw the previews, but it turned out awesome.
-
The people who didn't think it was funny are probably the one's who don't consider table tennis a sport, which is mean :|
Also, I was perfectly sober when I watched it, and I still thought it was great. I really liked Blades of Glory, too. Grandma's Boy is another of my favorites.
-
Well, I thought Blades of Glory was pretty badass, so I guess I'll give it a shot.
-
Sounds like kind of a lot of trouble, but I bet it kicks serious ass once you get it working. Are there any limitations on how long of a song you can do or how many notes are in it? And I assume you can't keysound them, right?
As far as I know, the only limit is that the entire archive needs to be under 4.4 GiB, and it's just under 3 at first IIRC. You can't add or remove songs, you have to replace them. You can't reproduce the effect used in the actual songs, which isn't actually keysounding. The songs are in .vgs format, divided into Guitar, Bass, and Band layers and having certain layers play as long as notes are being hit.
-
Oh, alright. Well, it's still a similar thing. Why can't you replicate it, is it just too complicated, or does it just not work?
-
Well, if you had separate tracks, you could build your own layered .VGS using the archive editors, but odds are you won't. If you've seen some of the videos on YouTube, you'll see it isn't significant, although it would be ideal.
-
To any simfile makers: have you ever tried out DDReam Studio? It's like forty-million times better than the SM editor. I just now discovered it, and I can't believe I made simfiles without it D:
-
I haven't heard of it.
In other news, it worked. I'm currently playing my Tamayura chart.
-
To any simfile makers: have you ever tried out DDReam Studio? It's like forty-million times better than the SM editor. I just now discovered it, and I can't believe I made simfiles without it D:
I've used it for a bunch of things. It's good because of how amazingly flexible it is and how easy it is to do gimmicks with it but it's bad because it pushes down BPM changes on every single measure.
It's nice for creating skeleton files. If I do use it for a chart, I'll use it for one chart (usually the expert, since the waveform view is very helpful) then save it to SM and normalize the BPMs so the file doesn't look so messy.
-

I doubt their is a high stakes underground tournament for it, but the game is hard as hell.
-

Yeah.
Ulti: If you had the master instrument tracks from the song (each individual instrument completely separated from the others) you could reproduce the effect, so if you made a recording of a song of your own band, you could in theory do that (if you had a multi-track recording session). However, it's a hell of a lot more difficult than simply taking an MP3 and turning it's volume down when you miss a note.
-
Ah, bummer. I could see that being done though, and it'd be pretty awesome.
-
Well, it could only be done with local bands and shit, unless you could manage to talk to the band and get permission to use their master tracks, which is not bloody likely, but still possible.
-
Yeah, but I imagine there's the potential for someone who's ridicuoulsly good at audacity or something to butcher mp3's to the point where it would resemble such a thing.
-
Not going to work well. Best they can do is cut out selected frequencies and split them into separate files, and that won't work well, because then you'll hear most of the guitar go out, bit bits and pieces on the low and high end go down. Some of the bass will probably be contained, unless they select whatever's totally above the bass's range, which means that they'll lose a lot of low end guitar. Same things goes for the bass, they'll be cutting into both the guitar, and VERY HEAVILY into the drums.
-
This is actually exactly why Rock Band features covers for some songs and masters for others. Some bands simply never cut their songs into separate parts with drums and whatnot (Iron Maiden) and so Guitar Hero can use the Master version since it just needs the main guitar, which does have its own track and Rock Band needs a cover because it needs separate tracks for drums, guitar, bass and vocals, which doesn't exist.
Doesn't matter anyway as the covers all sound good.
-
There's that, and the fact that they probably couldn't get the rights to all the songs, so that would also affect what songs they had to cover.
-
Doesn't matter anyway as the covers all sound good.
I hope you mean Rock bands covers and not guitar hero 2s covers. I wanted to die after I heard the cover singer for lamb of god in GH2. Also Bwii is fun, it's basically a light weight RTS/third person shooter and so far the only online game type I don't get my ass kicked in is attack/defend, on the defending side.
-
I wanted to die after I heard the cover singer for lamb of god in GH2.
That was about the only cover that sucked in the entire game...
-
Really? I don't listen to Lamb of God or anything, but I didn't think the cover was terrible. The song was fairly fun to play, in any case. I'm pretty sure the Iron Maiden cover on the 360 version is basically the worst thing ever.
-
Hehehe.

late reply:
Oh man, reminds me of my first kiss, lol. That was.. Awkward.

Yeah, I was the same exact way. I was completely euphoric for like a half hour after my first kiss with my first "real" girlfriend. That was something I'll never ever forget.
Also, sup guys. I've kinda been ridiculously busy since the beginning of the weekend. I've had work every day, band practice yesterday and I've spent every ounce of my free time with my girlfriend (who is now doing better than ever, god I love my life). Tomorrow is band practice after school until 5:15, and work from 6 to 9:30. Woo. I'll have barely enough time to get home, change, drop my girlfriend off and get to work! Yay!
Also also, spec, where in Tampa you at?

Lets abduct him, should be fun. After all McDonald's did it. Also I need to remember Bunny Must Die and Cave Story for when I get my new PC.
-
That was about the only cover that sucked in the entire game...
I couldn't stand the Heart-Shaped Box cover. Two reasons: (1) they subtly changed some parts of the song, making it sound worse and throwing off Nirvana fans (such as myself) and (2) the singer tries to sound like Kurt Cobain, fails miserably, and winds up simply sounding bad.
Also also, spec, where in Tampa you at?
I DON'T KNOW ;_;
About ten minutes from Nielsen's Oldsmar campus, at the Mainsail hotel.
Also, I got my work laptop today! :D It's a Dell Latitude D610 with a Pentium M 1.86GHz processor, 512MB of RAM, 60GB hard drive, 15.4" screen (1024x768...eww), and a 64MB RADEON X300 (same as my personal laptop, sadly). Not a total screamer (mainly because of the RAM) but, really, it's a work machine, so it doesn't matter much.
I found out that Microsoft Exchange is a really fucking sweet server solution when it comes to e-mail and stuff. If I want to e-mail anyone in the company all I have to do is search for their name on the server's contact list. Very slick. After I get out of class I'm going to receive a fancy new Blackberry (and my company car, I guess). I can't wait.
Only problem with the whole school thing is that my classes start at 5pm and end at 2am. Not a big deal, but it does kind of limit what I can do in the daytime. It's been interesting so far, I'd say.
-

Yeah, just talking about RB covers here.
I should try to get some videos of me and my friends playing. Maybe over my vacation at the end of the month.
-
Me and my friends still need to get Rock Band. I told them that if 3 other people are going to be playing, I'm not paying for the whole thing. 3 of my friends have already called drums, bass, and vocals, so they're going to pitch in.
-
I have a computerized test for the TSA [wand and xray people at the airport]. yay.
edit: It was a screener test to see if I was good enough for the job haha.
Anyway.

So my Excel Saga torrent just finished downloading.
Also someone tried to buy my urine today.

Hah, what?
Also: I hear that series is crazy, but I tried to watch an episode and was just like "lol wut, this makes no sense"
-
Also someone tried to buy my urine today.
More info plz. Seriously, that's weird, and kinda cool.

Fairly hilarious. If I wasn't worried that it could be traced back to me, I'd so totally do it.

I was in the bathroom, walking towards the urinal.
Some guy: "Wait, have you smoked weed in the last 4 weeks?"
Me: "Uhm, no..."
Some guy: "Good. I'll pay you $10 to pee in this bottle."
Me: "...You're serious."
Some guy: "Please? I have a drug test tomorrow and I need some clean urine."
Me: "..."
I proceeded to pee in the urinal.

About ten minutes from Nielsen's Oldsmar campus, at the Mainsail hotel.
Tight, that's really close. I work at the Oldsmar call center, I'm pretty sure the building you're at is somewhere else. They have like 4 locations in the area, all completely different.
Also, I just got back from a concert, saw the Dresden Dolls. My girlfriend got me to listen to them over the summer (they're her favorite band evar), and I liked them for a while, but kinda stopped listening. Going to the concert made me want to listen to them again, I loved it. Why do I always have such a great time with her >_>

in rainbows is pretty good
the last few albums i've liked a lot i thought were mediocre at the start (the shins, enter the wu), and in rainbows was no exception- never heard radiohead before, and it didn't really live up to the hype. it still doesn't, but i've learned to appreciate it for what it is- an excellent album.

In rainbows is awesome, go listen to more radiohead, some of their other stuff is mindblowing, even compared to that CD. That one is a lot more mellow and such than some of their stuff, but for any established fan, it's a great addition to their collection, and definitely worth paying for.

Do all charged attacks in God Hand have an aerial/on the ground attack? I just realized fist of justice will do a heel drop if they are still on the ground.

just watched shoot 'em up
it loses its steam quickly after the start, but it's still interesting. just you have the 5 minutes of "jesus christ did he just stab a guy's eye with a carrot" and then it becomes kind of mundane
-
I found it to be pretty enjoyable all of the way through, but to each his own.
I also saw it in the theater. I doubt it would have had the same impact if I'd have watched it on a TV screen.
-
Shoot Em Up is the funniest action movie of all time.
Calling it mundane just shows how little you understand.

I beat Pokemon Snap in exactly 3 hours, 59 minutes.

I did not know that. Played the game for 6 hours the other day too.
I know the charged upper cut will do a higher upper cut if you keep doing it, then I think one of the kicks in the beginning lets you jump in the air and kick them away.
EdIT: He does the move in the first ten seconds, that and the charged upper cut thing.

I beat Pokemon Snap in exactly 3 minutes, 59 seconds.
Damn, doesn't that game take like a couple hours to beat?

Yes, definately the worst song ever.
I have vowed to never play that song ever again after I beat it (The second time, because I got a 360 and had to beat the game all over again)
That song frustrates me SO much. I've never seen myself get so angry at a game ever before in my life.
I have an old fridge in my basement thats not being used anymore, and is covered in dents from me flipping out, punching, kicking, and basically beating the shit out of the fridge. I've never lost my temper when playing a game, but for some reason with that song, I just LOSE IT and go absolutely crazy.
1 time I got so mad, I literally THREW the fridge half way across the room I was so pissed. But yeah...all in all...terrible song, and i'll never play it again.
::)
-
Well I thought that, but I actually sort of like Slayer for some reason, and that song isn't horribly offensive to my ears, although the stepchart fills my fingers with pain and fury.
-
I love the song (especially the intro guitar noises and the scream he lets off, and the awesome solo), but that chart is beyond frustrating. I think we need to make a new word up for something so insanely frustrating that it transcends normal frustration straight to all out anger.

To transform into "The NewFinator" because I feel like a complete psycho when I get angry at that song and completely lose it.

Hay guyz, I got GH3 yesterday. Played it with my friend last night, and with my girlfriend earlier today. My girlfriend is a GOD(ess) at Guitar Hero. I've beaten 10 or so songs on Medium (the hardest difficulty I can feasibly do) on Career mode so far, really enjoying a lot of the charts and songs themselves. From what I hear, the later part of Career mode has better songs, can't wait for those.
Also, I kicked ass at work today, I got the most accepts out of anyone in my room today. Everyone congratulated me and stuff, it was neat.
-
Yes, definately the worst song ever.
It least it's a good song to listen to, also this sounds EXACTLY like what Yahtzee said about the game.

Yep, the latter part does indeed have better songs. That's true for pretty much every GH game, unfortunately, almost all of the intro songs suck, but musically, ands chart wise.
-
There are some fun songs early on, like Sunshine of Your Love and Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll.
-
They're not right at the beginning though, I mean the first 2 or so sections.
-
My friend's mom is seriously a Guitar Hero. She's 5-starred hard except for a few songs, 5-starred MOST of expert. She can reliably pass Raining Blood/TtFaF.
-
Jesus, that's scary.
-
You should give me her phone number.
-
Still after the cougers?
-
goddamn i feel ripped off
i open up a pack of fruit gushers- fruit snacks with juice-stuff inside, you know- and it's supposed to be "tropical flavors," aka red, orange, blue, and green (and no, there's no way to describe the flavor beyond the color). all i get, though, is orange and blue.
itt we boycott fruit gushers inc.
-
Haha, that sucks man, those things are so good.
-
Tommy, as much as I would like to do that, Gushers are way too delicious to even contemplate such a thing.
-
I'm getting used to not having Windows XP. It's just that I'm having some trouble running programs necessary for editing GH stuff.
-
You could always partition off a small space for installing XP, and then set up some samba shares to access all the files in your linux environment, and only boot into XP when you need to run something that won't run with WINE.
-
Yeah, but for that I'd need an XP boot disk, which I don't have.
-
You can use an ISO, and then use a keygen. I'm just trying to give you some options and ideas.
-
Just got back from work. Another long day- school, straight to practice, straight to work. The amount of free time I get on Mondays and Wednesdays is however late I decide to stay up after I get home at ~10, which usually isn't more than a few hours. :<
Work was pretty mediocre today, too. Oh well. I have one exam tomorrow, and then two exams, practice, and work on wednesday, and then A FIVE DAY WEEKEND YESSSSSS
-
Still after the cougers?
Who honestly Isn't.
-
Still after the cougers?
You betcha.
-
Good lord.
On tuesdays and thursdays I have nothing to do from 930-11am. ugh haha this schedule sucks.
830-945 is jazz history class, but I don't have math class till 11. So until I need time to study it's just surf surf surf.
-
Heh, sounds like me. I have 2 classes that end at 130 on wednesday, then my next class on a different campus starts at 6, so I have to drive there and dick around until it starts.
-
El gay.
But good thing is, the latest I'll ever be at school normally is noon. My java programming class, is online, meaning we only have around 3 in-class meets which are at night. Other than that, all be good.
I have to go to this orientation for my job at AmericanValet. Sounds like tough work, running to get cars, parking them, taking money from people, etc.
-
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I have Japanese from 9-10, then Linux from 1-2, Logic from 2-3, and C++ from 3-4.
Tuesdays and Thursdays I only have Japanese and a comp sci lab, though, so I guess there's light at the end of the tunnel : (
-
That's like the most awesomely nerdy schedule I've ever seen XD
(no offense)
-
I just know that I will Dragon Kick your ass into the Milky Way.
...Milky Way!
Fuck, now I'm starting to get back into the game, and it's depressing seeing how strong my character(I have 4 godly moves in my standard combo and a godly low kick) is and still dying on stupid things. It feels like I'm getting back into Devil may cry 3 again.
-
MTWRF - precalc 1100-1150
M W F - English 101 1000-1050
T R - honors American Jazz history 0830-0945
edit: and Java is my online class, anytime I feel like it.

whoo, high school. all of my classes are about an hour long, and the school day is from 7:10-2:10
gifted world geography
gifted freshman language arts
spanish I
health
gifted biology
lunch
gifted geometry
i'm not decided on what ap classes i'm doing next year, though. the application sheets are getting handed out this week, and my choices so far are AP world history and AP track language arts (american lit, i think).
-
They call it gifted haha.
-
Yeah, what. For me, 'gifted' was only used to refer to the gifted class we went to every week in elementary school, and then in middle school we actually had a class called gifted we went to. for smart people, of course.
Also, I completely forgot all study materials I was planning on having for tomorrow's two exams (AP American History and Physics), good thing I'm the king of halfassing. I'm not worried at all.
-
They call it gifted haha.
we've got technical, college prep, honors, gifted, ap track, and ap, in that order. ap is the only one that counts for college credit, though.
-
weirdos. we have regular, honors, ap. rofl
-
weirdos. we have regular, honors, ap. rofl
Same. It's so simple.
-
In highschool for me it was just regular, accelerated, and IB. Go figure : \
PS I bought Godhand.
-
weirdos. we have regular, honors, ap. rofl
we've got like 4000 students though, basically-
technical = not going to college (this is getting phased out i think)
college prep = regular
honors = better than college prep
gifted = were in the gifted program in middle school (i think maybe if you're REALLY good you can get recommended into gifted from regular but i'm not 100% on that)
ap track = not college credit, going towards ap courses next year (i think language arts is the only class that does this)
ap = college credit, hard as balls
-
That's like the most awesomely nerdy schedule I've ever seen XD
(no offense)
Agreed, However, I would kill for those classes, lol.
-
PS I bought Godhand.
PLAY IT, then if you haven't get DMC 1 and 3.
-
I am, and it's ridiculously awesome. However it's more or less kicking my ass, I'm lost as to why they kind of throw you into the game with no explanation of what's going on.
-
My eyeball hurts, and today was a really long day. Oh well, whatever. Five day weekend! hooray

Does anybody know what the song played in Hot Fuzz when people get their mugshots is called? It's driving me nuts because I can't find it. >_<

I just beat Killer 7...what?
Also I noticed all of the ghosts speak english, just that its worded differently.
-
Godhand is easily the craziest game ever D:
-
I think I'm the only person who honestly didn't enjoy Killer 7.
-
I swear I'm the only person who hasn't played Godhand, Killer 7, or about 95% of the other games you guys talk about :/
-
I think I'm the only person who honestly didn't enjoy Killer 7.
I liked it, I think it would have been better if their wasn't rails and maybe had more types of enemies, but other then that it was fun. Also that ending was :o.
-
I swear I'm the only person who hasn't played Godhand, Killer 7, or about 95% of the other games you guys talk about :/
One of two.
-
Most people didn't like it, but I have a question, spoiler:So Garcian's is Emir, and he killed the killer 7 and then himself after he locked the old Harman Smith in that vault, while the young Harmon Smith worked for the Government, also Kun was the S&M guy and him and the Killer 7 exist to perpetrate war?
-
I swear I'm the only person who hasn't played Godhand, Killer 7, or about 95% of the other games you guys talk about :/
Welcome to zee club
-
Well, Godhand is the only one I've played, so don't feel so out of the loop D:
I was going to buy Killer7 as well, but I didn't feel like spending 40bux in one go.
-
Well, Godhand is the only one I've played, so don't feel so out of the loop D:
God Hand was definitely better. Just remember to play the game and not to stop for a month or so and try to jump back on.

So uh
apparently I broke Firefox bookmarks. My bookmark file is still there in the Mozilla folder, and it still shows all of my bookmarks, but I guess I have too many or something since it suddenly stopped showing anything that's not in a folder. Admittedly I do have an absolutely retarded bookmark list, but I don't know why it suddenly stopped working when I added a few more. (Stupidly large being 767kb bookmark file, which is just links and plain text.)
-
I made a ytmnd lol:

Yeah double post but a clip from hostel:
Near the end the escape scene (no voices though music edited over it blah). 2:31 is fucking great. Watch it all if you want but I fucking love that scene it's hilarious.

The funniest thing EVER happened at work today. I was on a call with an elderly lady, and I read her the media question (we have to make sure nobody in their household is employed in the media industry, so they won't crazily bias the survey). After I asked her, she told me she worked for a local radio station, which meant I couldn't continue on with the call. I went to the screen with the text you're supposed to read in the event that happens, but instead of reading it, I tried to make up something better to say. This is what I said. And god knows why I said it.
"We are sorry to inform you that since someone in your household is in the media industry, we must destroy this call." And then I just kind of thought about what the hell I just said, while she paused a few seconds and then hung up.
Needless to say, the people on either side of me heard that and gave me a funny look, and then started laughing. I literally couldn't stop laughing for like 5 minutes, it was awesome.
-
A girl at my school works for s telemarketer place. (i guess you can work at those places at 16) She says people say crazy stuff all the time. Like some really fat dude in the cubicle got all excited and said something like "do you like it when i rub my nipples?" really loud. it turns out he wasn't really on the phone with a customer and it was a joke, but it was funny as hell, especially since the girl did the motion he did and rubbed her own nipples.
yeah she's a cool chick
-
So I finally decided to start doing some additional Firefox customization (i.e. killing the menu bar, putting the menu functions I actually need -- add-ons screen and options menu mainly -- into a small icon, dumping my bookmark toolbar icons on my navigation bar, etc). Wow, what a difference.
I'm also messing with this split window extension. Pretty handy.
"We are sorry to inform you that since someone in your household is in the media industry, we must destroy this call."

I've heard of firefox breaking bookmarks before. In fact, Ive experienced it a long time ago, I think you should go check out bugzilla and see if there's a fix for it, or learn a bit more about it. My Bookmarks file is 74k right now, lol. How on earth did you get 767k of bookmarks? Did you bookmark every page you've ever been on?
-
Ehh? What's this all about?
I don't remember exactly what it's called, but if you search for "split browsing" on addons.mozilla.com you should be able to find it. It's kinda cool.
I've heard of firefox breaking bookmarks before. In fact, Ive experienced it a long time ago
The only time I had a problem was when I bookmarked an HTML file on a network share (to be more specific, I linked my laptop to the bookmarks.htm file on my desktop system). For reasons unknown to me, it attempted to read that file every time the browser opened (for a favicon, maybe?) and if my system were off (RARE) or I were on a different network (common, since I was going to college at the time) it would literally take Firefox two minutes to start up because it waited until it timed out.
Very weird behavior.
How on earth did you get 767k of bookmarks? Did you bookmark every page you've ever been on?
The one on my laptop has a 188KB bookmark file and I don't have too much stuff in here. My desktop system has...400KB of bookmarks? Something around there, anyway.
-
I checked out the split browsing.. That's awesome, I could probably use FF across both monitors at once now. That guy also has a whole crapload of addons he made. I like his XHTML Ruby support addon, that's something that doesn't get enough attention (Furiugana (to the japanese, anyway), to anyone who doesn't know what Ruby is.)
-
Yeah, I haven't checked out his other add-ons yet. I'm just going to run with what I have so far to see how it works for me.
It's really weird, I never noticed how much room a standard set of toolbars and menus take up. Here's what I have it down to right now:
(http://files.spectere.net/pictures/firefox/cleanliness.png)
It went from lawd know how many pixels to a mere 82, including the title bar. Even on a screen with 1200 vertical pixels that made a noticeable difference, and by that I mean that I don't really even notice the bars up there anymore.
I'm currently using the Kempelton theme, which seems to go pretty nicely with the XP Media Center/Energy Blue look.
Also, nice user group, Bobbias. ;)
-
Haha, nice. I didn't even notice.
It's kinda funny because in most forums, I can's get anywhere NEAR the top posters, yet here, I post like, 9+ posts a day, average (and that includes days where I don't post many, or at all...)
W00t, I also get a custom user color XD awesome.
-
Haha, nice. I didn't even notice.
I did it right before I made that post, so it's a new change. :P Your name also appears green on the online users bar and such (because I can and all).
Edit: Also, just switched to the blue theme in Dilber MC (second from the left on the color selector). Holy shit, this place looks so much different now.
-
I like the one to the right of the blue, that darker gray blue color.
EDIT: Lol, if only you'd done this for christmas. We'd have a christmasy s.net (the 2 of us online together anyway)
-
Yeah, that one's pretty spiffy. I mainly picked the other one because it matches my XP theme...quite sad, I know.
EDIT: Lol, if only you'd done this for christmas. We'd have a christmasy s.net (the 2 of us online together anyway)
*facepalm* XD
-
Lol, nice.
There's one problem with the split window thing. They scroll together. I don't like that, because I like flexibility. I'd like the option to turn that off and on, because you don't keep all your pages scrolled to the same location on every page right?
anyway, I'll definitely keep it on for a while, and see how things work out. It's not bad for splitting across both monitors in 1 huge window though.
-
They don't scroll together at all over here...
Try bringing down the split menu and turn off the "synchronize scrolling" option. It doesn't seem to do anything on mine...might be the theme that I'm using (though it seems to me like it's just a graphics swap...who knows).
-
I noticed after using it a second time it didn't. It was odd, because when I first used it, when I'd use my scroll wheel to scroll, both of them would scroll, but now they're independent, and I didn't do anything, lol.

Nice work on the FF customization. About the only thing I really want is a "save state" thing where I can just take a snapshot of the state it's in and come back to that later, like a bookmark. I think I had something for that installed a while back, but I haven't looked for it yet.

Opera does that : )

Unfortunately, I'm rather attached to FF. I've tried Opera, and liked it from the small experience, but I'm just more attached to FF.

I may be posting videos of myself and some friends playing Rock Band in a week or two. Trying to figure out a good setlist. I'm thinking:
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Dani California
Wolfmother - Joker and the Thief
Stone Temple Pilots - Interstate Love Song
The Monkees - Last Train to Clarksville
Radiohead - Creep (or My Iron Lung either one)
Oasis - Wonderwall
I'll probably be on vocals with my friends Matt and Adrian switching between drums and guitar since they're both about equally as good but should never be allowed to sing. Maybe do The Electric Version by New Pornographers since I love singing it. When You Were Young by the Killers would be good too.
Hm.
Also, the free XBL Arcade game that people get for all the outages it's had for the last month or whatever is Undertow. You'll be able to get it for free from the 23rd-25th I believe. People who already bought it can call Microsoft Support during those days to get your points back.

ROCK BAND SUCKS GO PLAY REAL INSTRUMENTS
-
rock band sucks because it looks easy as hell, at least for the drum part.
-
A guy at my school who can 5-star stuff like Raining Blood said Rock Band was boring. I'm getting friends to pitch in because even if it's easy, it looks like a fun party game.
Also, I just saw Cloverfield. I really liked it.
-
niggers
OH FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCk
-

Party Games, yes, real game worth playing by yourself, probably not... Actually, I highly doubt it's worth the money for playing it as a real game... Might be fun drunk or stoned, but that's probably it.
-
It's good to see that most US music game players are still in their infancy. Whether or not something is difficult is irrelevant. If it's fun it's fun.
I get along just fine playing alone because I enjoy playing, not because I need some special score to go to. That ridulously competitive attitude is what completely ruins gaming.
Also, playing Expert guitar while singing is not easy.
Man that is so pringles.
-
Well, I enjoy stepmania and all the other games by seeing if I can do better than my last score. It's not competitive with other people, but with myself. I'm always looking to get better, and I enjoy seeing myself get better.
That's just how I am, and why I can't stand easy stuff. It's well, boring, if a song isn't enough of a challenge for me to have trouble doing well, then it's not fun for me.
-
I was surprised when my friend bought it. Seems like a hell of a lot of money to be shelling out for a party game. Any game for that matter, shit I'm bummed because I don;t think I can get brawl and NMH as soon as they come out.
-
Yeah, I think the guitar tracks are easy, but the drum parts definately aren't. Fleshy, unless you play drums for real, good luck. Being a music gamer myself, I figured "yeah, I can deal with 5 notes at a time, whatever." and jumped straight into hard. I failed so fast it wasn't even funny.
But Rock Band definately isn't a fun game to play by yourself. Unless you have three or four people to play with on a regular basis, I wouldn't recommend getting it, but if you do, it's impossibly awesome. I definately agree with Eggman, just because a game is easy doesn't mean it sucks. Look at Audiosurf, I picked up playing Ninja Mono in approximately 30 seconds, and proceeded to start setting high scores on things. Doesn't stop it from being one of the funnest games I've played in recent memory.

Heh, my car's battery died tonight. Me and my girlfriend decided to park in a parking lot for a few hours and just "listen to music". Needless to say, I left the AC on and my zune playing (although it was barely audible) and when I tried to turn my car on at like 10:30, it was shafted. I felt goofy calling her parents to ask them for a jump (in the middle of a dark parking lot), but we gave them the excuse that we were listening to music and it somehow worked.
Regardless, I had a great night. And tomorrow I get to learn how to teach people English at my library. Woo, volunteering!
-
I can't decide if that whole scenario is good or bad. :3
-
Part of audiosurf is that it's different, it's totally new, and you can use any song on your computer.
While I do play the occasional easy song in stepmania or O2Jam just because they're fun, most of them aren't fun for me because I don't like the song, or it's just too easy, and being easy just doesn't bring me any enjoyment. I mean, when I play o2jam, I play anything between about a 15 or 16 to 33's or so. That's a lot of music, and some of the 16s are pretty easy, but if I play it and it's easy, it's because it's good, and it's actually fun. I don't have as much fun with something like GH because I'm not at the same sort of skill level.
Plus, I find I get bored of games that are so limited with the number of songs available. I love playing stepmania, and O2Jam because both of them have 600+ songs available for me to play.
-
I have 102 songs in Rock Band right now and by year's end, I should have 310 or so.
Argh it's very cold outside. -10 with a windchill of -30.

Nice work on the FF customization. About the only thing I really want is a "save state" thing where I can just take a snapshot of the state it's in and come back to that later, like a bookmark.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4199 (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4199)
Opera does that : )
So does Firefox...
It'll do it without an extension, even, but you can't do it selectively that way.
my zune
Imma have to take a look at it, sire. I've been looking for a good portable music player and I heard that they made the Zunes pretty nice after the last update was released.
-
I was thinking more along the lines of being able to save things without using FF's default mechanism, if I wanted to do that, I'd just end task it, which usually does the trick.
I'm talking about saving them in their own savestate, like when you're playing an emulator, and you use the savestate feature. You usually have slots in which you can save your state, and load from each one at a different state. That's what I'm talking about.
-
Also, playing Expert guitar while singing is not easy.
See it's weird, because whenever I see a singer of a band playing guitar as well it's fairly impressive, but when I see an instrumentless singer sitting and doing nothing during a musical interlude he looks lazy to me.

I'm talking about saving them in their own savestate, like when you're playing an emulator, and you use the savestate feature. You usually have slots in which you can save your state, and load from each one at a different state. That's what I'm talking about.

holy goddamn shit it's snowing in georgia
i just went sledding, had some snowball fights (at one point, a goddamn pickup truck pulled up and started pounding on us, it was pretty fucking weird), got my lip busted open in snow football, i can't feel my left index finger, etc.
-
It's hot and humid in Tampa, heh.
I've seen enough snow in my life that I don't really mind, though.
-
FUUUUUUUCK my glasses broke.
Damn you eyes! I can barely make out what I'm typing.

Cherry chocolate Dr. Pepper is really good you should try it...it's pretty rare though, so you might have to look around a bit.
Sadly, they only have the Diet version out, so it's not AS good as it would normally taste.

Just got back from hanging with Mr. TimJing.
It was fun. Gameworks has some mighty fine quesadillas (and a mighty fine SuperNOVA (which is set to a mighty fine 4 stage joint premium)).
Also, downtown Tampa is pretty kick ass. I've never been to a city (outside of tourist traps) that actually have things going on.

We just got a huge snow storm hit. I shoveled the driveway at 6 PM. By 12 it was like I hadn't even touched the driveway. My dad told my GF she'd need to call a cab because he barely made it into the driveway, and there was no way he'd get the car out without shoveling a whole bunch.

My friend said it was awesome
his mom got motion sickness lol
I want to see it D:
last night I got buzzed and played some CoD4 online.. I didn't care if I died or not haha. but I was getting matches like in the 20s for kills and under 10 deaths.. so i was happy
1 shot raspberry twist smirnoff to start off [my stomach was rumbling, so I knew it would hit me quicker]
after a match, 1 shot of Bacardi superior rum, chased with coke
then following that I had a nice buzz going, kept it afloat with some rum and coke.
ah good, controlled, responsible times.

Fuck, sometimes I hate snow with a passion. Over the last like, 2 days, we have gotten so much snow that we have something like 7-8 feet of snow on either side of our driveway now. We had about 2 feet of pure powder in our driveway, not including the mouth, which had about 3-3.5 feet of hard packed snow from the fucking plows.
-

That's why they're called THEME parks silly. If it had no theme it would be called an amusement park. It's not gimmicky at all. It's got good rides and that's all that matters. Sheikra and Montu being themed makes them no less awesome than they already are.
And as I say in the funny convos thread, water parks are fun but the fun factor wears off pretty fast. Definitely not an all day event but good for a couple hours with a group of friends.

I'm probably just really biased against Busch Gardens cause I don't like roller coasters, and that's, like, all there is to do there :P
Also, I had a doctor's appointment this morning. He basically told me that I fixed all my problems by losing 15 pounds over the summer/end of last year and that I'm at a perfect weight/cholesterol levels. Woo. He also told me that I need to police my parents, because they both eat too much, but especially my dad, because he's at a dangerous weight and at this rate will probably have a massive heart attack =/
Anyway I took a nice 3-hour nap, got work in 2 hours. Gonna get in some GH3 time now. I called in yesterday for a "family emergency", hopefully they won't yell at me. We were having a party here and I really didn't feel like going, but shh, don't tell them that :x

Yeah, the only lasting effect is a scab from a blood clot that the doc had to operate on. It might scar over, but I'll just tell people I got into a knife fight.

I apologize, that was lame.

I still lol'd.
I'm one of those "skinny fat people". I've got a bit of a gut, and practically no muscle to speak of, but I'm not fat at all. It's awkward, because I don't want to gain weight only to have my gut get that much bigger, lol.

Fuck my school. What kind of public school takes away late passes? No more late passes are given. Teachers cannot give you a late pass if they asked you to stay after class anymore. Oh, and if you are late ONCE, you get detention.

So I splashed myself with solder today. Twice.
Then I proceeded to bridge a capacitor. With my hand. I have to say, low amperage, low voltage, DC electric shocks are weird as hell.
-
Any sort of electrical shock is ridiculously strange. I don't approve of that feeling whatsoever.
PS 777get for you, Spec.

YAY, 777 GET!

-
So I splashed myself with solder today. Twice.
Then I proceeded to bridge a capacitor. With my hand. I have to say, low amperage, low voltage, DC electric shocks are weird as hell.
Hmm, never got one of those before. I've gotten HIGH voltage, low amperage DC shocks (Tesla Coil, through the entire Physics class, who were holding hands, and (relatively) low voltage higher amperage AC shocks from a house circuit (THAT was NOT pleasant).
I've also accidentally touched the hot metal part (not the tip, but the shaft of the iron) on a soldering iron, by accident. That hurt like a bitch.
-
Low amperage, low voltage shocks (I think it was low voltage...not sure what its peak was, but when I measured it, after getting shocked mind you, it it was in the 200s and discharging) are strange in that you don't feel them much at all. Pretty much all I remember was feeling my arm spasm very slightly (glad it wasn't too bad, since I was holding a hot soldering iron at the time) -- almost like it was vibrating -- then backing away in complete surprise and saying "what the hell just happened?" It didn't hurt at all for the first few minutes. After that I started getting just simple cramps in my upper arm and shoulder, and my arm was shaky enough that I had to stop what I was doing (desoldering wires) for a few minutes. I felt kind of weird for...two hours, maybe? I feel perfectly fine now, aside from minor cramps.
Getting splashed with solder is nothing like getting burned by the iron, though. I ended up getting a quick burn with a soldering iron and, from the look of it, it was pretty much a second degree burn from less than a second of exposure. And I disagree; it doesn't hurt like a bitch...it hurts like fuck.
Solder cools pretty quickly when it's not under the iron. If you get hit by a tiny droplet you're going to feel a minor sting, but it won't even leave a mark...it'll just make you yip a bit. I don't know about a larger blob of it. To be perfectly frank, I don't want a raindrop of molten solder hitting me.
-
Haha, yes, it does hurt like fuck.
In less than a second of exposure, it was enough to make the skin on my finger tip start to blister. It was a small blister, and disappeared within a couple minutes, but after about 2 seconds you could see that the upper layer of skin had separated and become white, which is the indication of the beginning of a blister (Not the first time I've been blistered by burns)
Tesla coil shocks are much the same as what you described. There was actually less vibration and more of a tingle in my case, but otherwise it's pretty much the same. Of course, it didn't cause any muscle pain or anything.
However, AC house current shocks are a different beast entirely. I could feel my arm pulsing with the current, and my hand was stuck clenching the side of the socket. I was crouched down, so on instinct, I fell backwards and my hand came off the socket, but it scared the crap out of me, because I wasn't expecting it. The first time I did that it was my own fault for not being careful (We were painting, a socket was sticking out of the wall, and I was paining near it, and wanted to move it, but I just happened to grab the screws on either side), but the second time wasn't (We were working in the basement of the place we were fixing up, the power had been off there earlier, and the lights were all off, I was fixing some of the wall socket wiring and stuff, and grabbed one, only to find out someone had turned the fucking power on.)
They are scary shit, because you know exactly what's happening right away. It's not something that ou can kinda go "hmm, what's this?" It's more like "Oh fuck, I'm being electrocuted!"
-
You and your silly electronics soldering. I've been hit by splashes of solder coming off of copper pipe that I'm soldering with an acetylene torch. I've also been hit (luckily through the jeans) with silver-phosphorus solder at ~1100 degrees while brazing a pipe. Boy, that felt good.
-
What were you doing all that for?
Oh, and my friend ended up with part of the lead on a welding machine in his hand after his grandfather slapped the other side of the truck he was welding. That looked painful as fuck.
-
i touched the metal part of my ipod->computer connector and i got this weird tingly feeling in my finger and it sort of hurt after a while but not enough to stop me from trying again to see if it was persistent (it was)
so that's basically the worst i've gotten shocked
-
I got shocked by a joke buzzer pen once
-
I flipped the lightswitch in an unfinished basement, It was really weird and my arm was shaky. My sister spread her entire arm on a 15w soldering iron when I was soldering a modchip
-
I put one of those buzzer gum packs between my teeth and pulled on it.
go me
-
Just ordered my PC, have no clue if the thing comes with cables or not (assuming power supply comes with such items). Also is cooling gel completely necessary? I'm afraid to apply the stuff myself.
-
I didn't need any special thermal paste on mine. And yeah, it should come with the cables you need.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_More_Heroes_(video_game)
NMH released yesterday. I'm so buying this and zack and wiki when I have a secure pay.
-
No More Heroes is FANTASTIC. Combat is fluid and fast, boss fights are INTENSE and difficult, the sense of humor is amazing and usage of motion control is limited but precise in its use.
It's like, the second coming of God Hand.

Remember Einhander? That game kicked all kinds of ass

That's what people have been saying since they've seen the combat. I'm hoping it sells well so Suda can make sequels and he prints more copies so I can find the damn thing.

I DO. That game was HARD. I remember hardly being able to get past the first level as a kid (I rented it a few times, wish I bought it.)

I need to find a place to take pictures that doesn't have parking lots and unsightly blacktop everywhere.
-
Or, you could artistically incorporate those elements into the picture :P
-
Ugh...it would feel so wrong.
It's kind of a creative block in a way. I was going to take a picture of a nice little pond but there's a fucking parking lot behind it. GARGH.
-
Lame. Maybe you should see what sort of pictures you can make using the urban environment. Maybe try to make images that show the contrast between the urban and natural landscape...
(If I had a camera, I'd probably be constantly trying to think of stuff like that so I could use the local scenery, which tends to be kinda boring to me.)
-
There's a difference between having a contrast between an urban environment and natural landscape and a canned landscape and a parking lot with a few buildings scattered around. There's nothing really "urban" about this place, it all just looks like it might as well just be artificial scenery. I felt like I was taking pictures for a brochure; hence the reason for my griping.
Give me a park. Give me a city. Hell, give me downtown Youngstown. The photographic value of this place can be basically summed up by looking at its advertisements.

Take the picture, just take random photos and look at them to see if there's any potential. Scouting for locations is one of the more tedious parts of photography (I dont take photos to find something, I Just visit the same place like 10 times until I find something good).
Expansive photos are really hard to photograph. From what you described, you were probably trying to photograph the pond using 18mm to try and get everything in, but as you continue to photograph, you start to realize that you really need to focus on one thing at time.
-
I'm totally going to buy NMH tomorrow after band practice. I've been looking forward to that game for months, and I have a target gift card with the exact value of a $49.99 Wii game on it that I'm gonna use to buy it. 8)
Also, today (well, yesterday now, the 25th) is/was my birthday. I'm 17 now. Woo. Got about $400 from friends and family. I had a party that adjourned a little bit ago, was really fun. Now I get to wake up in 7 hours to go to band practice for another 8 hours. There goes another chunk of my life.
-
I got fired from Borders for cheating their rewards program to keep my percentage up. It never gave money or credit to anyone though so it's not a theft issue at least. They shouldn't fight my application for unemployment then.
It's annoying but I figured they wanted to get rid of me anyway since I was being paid more than everyone else and was going to be getting another raise in April.
Oh well. I have a lot of options now.
-
hey s.net
download gogol bordello- super taranta
also hostess muffin packs are fucking delicious
peace
-
Hah, that sucks. How exactly did you cheat their rewards system?
-
The registers have a Borders Rewards look up key. If someone didn't have it, I'd quick hit it and type in a random phone number and just hit enter so it would always be some random person. Apparently I used the phone number 787-8787 too many times lol
Also I clocked in before they fired me but did not clock out (just forgot I guess) so I guess I'm currently clocked in forever!
-

My problem now is that I don't have my own car; it's shared four ways. This'll be a lot easier to do when I get back to Ohio, Maryland, or wherever the hell I'm going to wind up. I'm pretty much stuck here, unfortunately.
Expansive photos are really hard to photograph. From what you described, you were probably trying to photograph the pond using 18mm to try and get everything in, but as you continue to photograph, you start to realize that you really need to focus on one thing at time.
I was at 55mm, trying to focus on a fountain near the end of it, actually. The parking lot kind of cheapened it, really. If the other side of the pond is hotel property I'll probably try to walk whenever I get a chance since the fountain is pretty close to that end. We'll see how it goes. Regardless, there are plenty of trails that I want to cover when I get back to Struthers, either when I get back (if the weather is fair) or in the spring/summer if I'm there for those seasons.

Damn, that sucks. :(
Any idea where you're going to head next?
-
Culinary school probably. I've always wanted to and now I've got a reason to go for it.
For now, it's time to rest. I've got plenty of money so taking some time to re-evaluate things is no problem.
Pretty much everyone I've talked has been really supportive. My mom and dad were actually happy about it because they knew I was getting treated prettily crappily considering the amount of effort I was putting in.
-
Culinary school probably. I've always wanted to and now I've got a reason to go for it.
Whoa, nice. Don't forget about us after you become a famous chef, m'kay? ;)
But seriously, that's pretty cool. Definitely not something I can see myself doing, haha.
-
Nice to hear it's not the end of the world. :P
-
I've got all of my friends from work on facebook and they were all I really cared about so yeah, definitely not the end of the world.
-
Fair warning, since I've been through some culinary school. It's a loooot less fun then it initially sounds. I mean, it's still cool being able to cook all kinds of different things, but unless you're really, REALLY sure it's what you want to do, it's a ton of work, especially if your teacher isn't a nice guy.
-
Playin skate. and listening to the DK. YEA!
-
Practice today wasn't terribly bad. I went to Target afterwards to look for No More Heroes, but they didn't have it yet :(
Also, the marching band banquet was tonight. That was pretty fun. Went to my friend's house afterwards with a few other people, we all watched Pan's Labyrinth. What a crazy movie. It was pretty good though. Then I kicked everyone there's asses at pool :x
-
Jesus Marching band? Marching band finished for me like...at the end of football season? Rofl.
Mine wasn't anything special. We just took first place in the BOA Southwest regionals and won all caption awards along with 1st place in qualifiers. After making a jump from the previous year where they got 7th place (I wasn't at this school at the time...maybe they won because I am now :P).
Anyways...SATs this morning. It was 8-1. 10 sections of ugh. Also considering I didn't have a calculator I didn't do great on the math portion probably. Oh well I have another year to take it. Gotta do ACTs now.
-
Yeah, band finished at the end of football season for me too. We just wait until late January to have the banquet and remember how cool we were a few months ago.

Those bitches need to get a demo of that shit out.
-
Man, I hadn't even heard of that until like a week ago, but those games oozed badass from every orafice. I really hope it doesn't suck : (
-
There IS a demo out. I have it. It's on the newest Xbox magazine disc. It sucks. The knife is an autokill on EVERYTHING, including in multiplayer and the game is just lame all around. Guns take forever to kill anything with and the idea that flares attract raptors is ridiculous and stupid, especially considering you can tag people with them and the guy just stands there with the flare on him as raptors eat him. And then you just knife them with insta-kills. So dumb.
-
Wow, that sounds like they turned an awesome series into instafail :< Not cool.
-
Oh yeah, and multiplayer is super lame. You can only be humans and there are NPC raptors just running around all over the place. I mean what the hell, being a raptor would be half the fun.
Burnout Paradise is really good, though a bit annoying in parts. Super beautiful though.
-
Hopefully they'll let you be raptors in the full game. I think that this series has finaly gone fully down the toilet. Same what like Dues Ex and Fall out.
-
I love Burnout Paradise. The leaderboards are totally messed up though. I get a good showtime score on a street and it says "best online crash: dinnerroll56". I go on the gamespot forums and there are people with insane scores.
It's too bad about Turok. I was really looking forward to that being an amazing game.

I want to say that's right, but I'm not entirely positive, as I've never watched the series.
-
Probably, since most anime doesn't get more than 26 episodes. (that is a full season.)
-
So I only have 1 hard drive (http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16822148262) and connections for up to 6, should I at least get another? Also I just noticed I don't even have a DVD drive.

So I only have 1 hard drive (http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16822148262) and connections for up to 6, should I at least get another?
If you aren't straining for space, don't bother adding hard drives unless you plan to set up a RAID 1 array or something. No sense spending money if you're not going to use the space.
If you go through hard drive space like candy and/or do things involving large files or large collections (music ripping, picture albums, etc), hell yes, get another drive.

I love how excel saga is... retarded. haha <3 I recall now reading the manga #1 that one of my weeaboo friends let me borrow. And how retarded I thought it was. In a funny way. incomplete. Sentences? And misplaced; punctuation~!!

My Excel Saga THING finished downloading today. I'll watch it later, probably after I finish Cowboy Bebop.

I know I'm behind. Hell, I barely even watched anime until, like, last year. Anyways, I'm done with it now, and so far I've watched one episode of Excel Saga. It is, for lack of a better term, wtflol.

Hahaha, I just installed it on a teeny little partition just to screw around with and do my C++ homework on, because I really hate Visual Studio.
I love Visual Studio. I have yet to use an IDE that compares to it in terms of environment flexibility, ease of debugging, and tool/language integration.
You can also use gcc in Windows, y'know. Look up MSYS/MinGW and Cygwin.
Also, if you've never used Borland C++Builder, you haven't used a bad IDE. I get chills just thinking about it.
-
Borland more like...Bore Land ahahahaha
oh god I need play more No More Heroes.
I think I've gotten sick of Burnout Paradise. It takes 40 wins to get my Burnout License and I'm missing 2 events and it just takes foreeeeeever to do anything. And stunt runs are impossible unless you get the one exact line across the city and not screw it up at all. And the AI on cars in Marked Man runs is like Smuggler's Run (in other words, retarded jack rabbits).
-
I'm sure Visual Studio is awesome, if you actually have sort of an idea what you're doing. I personally have not a freaking clue how to use 95% of the features there, and gcc is entirely sufficient. Plus, I am taking a class in Linux as well, so having Ubuntu installed gives me something to fiddle around with outside of the computer labs.
-

*facepalm*

If you're just doing quick, single-file projects, Visual Studio is absolute overkill. That would be sort of like using AutoCad to draw a square.
I would probably look into MSYS/MinGW or Cygwin, just in case you need to do some quick work while you're still booted into Windows. It would also enable you to easily cross-compile, building a Win32 EXE of your program with zero effort.
-
So yeah, after playing No More Heroes from the midpoint through to the end in one sitting today, I have realized that it'll probably be one of the best games of this entire generation, if not of all time. At least, as long as you don't go all "ARGH I AM HARDCORE GAMER I MUST ANALYZE UR GRAPHICZ AND EVERYTING MUST BE TECHNICALLY PERFEKT."
I don't think I've laughed or had so much fun with a game in a long time. Even more than God Hand.

Visual studio is so damn good. I've tried others, and love how you can just start coding right away, and it has so damn many extra tools.
-
From the little coding I've done (the most complicated project I've ever made in C++ was a Windows Forms program that read txt files sooo), Visual Studio is excellent. It has some quirks though, so you might have to change some stuff around if you're doing examples from a general C++ book or something.
-

Buffet of manliness.
-
Okay, so I ended up doing the actual project in a computer lab, where ubuntu wasn't installed, and was forced to use visual studio, and I take back my initial statements of how terrible it is, to some extent. I still think it's horrible overkill for what we're doing in the class, but I really liked the ability to compile and run the program about 300 times just on the fly, and putting in breaks to check stuff was really convenient.
-
Yeah. I've used various versions of Visual Studio over the years and have to say it's probably the best IDE I've ever used. If there is one thing I would say Microsoft did properly, it's that. It's kinda overkill, but honestly, I'd rather use that then have to make do with something like notepad and a command line compiler...

Same with me. :o
I really didn't expect that at all. That one play pretty much won the game for the Giants.
Brady threw some pretty nice passes in the last stretch of the game, the Giants just had their receivers too well covered for them to be effective.

There Will Be Blood is a weird movie. Really really good, but weird. I couldn't even guess at where the movie was going. Ever.

Today, I was trying to get Freecell from one of the school computers to my flash drive. It wouldn't let me view the system32 folder, so I tried using the command prompt.

I proceeded to tell him (x booth at the local flea market) he thanked me and I paid him for the food. Then he gave me \

Really good metroidvania game. Seriously it's a lot of fun. This is the link I was given, TBH I don't know if it's OBTAINED IN A PERFECTLY LEGAL MANNER or not, so nuke it if you care to, but it's really good. Like, seriously really good.
-
I'm pretty sure Bunny Must Die is free ware, like cave story. Also I just play DMC 4 at a friends house, and it seemed much easier then 3, but was still fun. Plus I liked how Virgil played completely different then Dante, I just wish he got more weapons. Also some of his parts seemed God Hand ish, which lent my friend to say "this game rapes god hand" even when he's never played it.

>:( rapidshare is not welcome here
I highly suggest any further uploads are either upped someplace else, or, if you prefer rapidshare for some reason, use massmirror.com, since it uploads to multiple sites at once. I hate rapidshare with a passion. They limit you WAY too much, you rarely get anything above 150 kb/s, etc.
-
Use drop.io
It is very nice. Lots of features, no ads or sign up.
DMC4 gets really hard around stage 8-11, then gets easier, and then gets really hard at 19. Mostly due to you having to fight all of the bosses again.
-
does drop.io have any download limits? does it get good speed (like, 300 kb/s)?
I prefer megaupload whenever possible, but even they have a limit. However, I can get 300 kb/s from them, and it's not NEARLY as limited as rapidshit.
massmirror and other similar services are great because they send to more than 1, so you don't overload 1 of them, if it's taken down for infringing on 1 of them, it's still got mirrors, and places like megaupload block some entire countries at times, so it'd still be available on a different server for those people.

It's 100 megs for most people. I have a premium version that allows 1 gig of space though.
Download speeds hit 700k/sec off it for me. No one uses it so don't spread it around.
Trust me, it's better than megaupload by a loooooot.
You can also tell it how long you want it to last, allow others to access and add/delete content, add notes and stream the content directly from it. It's supposed to be used by companies for teams of employees to easily share data.

I just ordered a set of earbuds from Newegg the other day: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826106030 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826106030). They arrived today and I've been using them for a few hours.
I've never been a fan of earbuds because most of the ones I've used have just sucked but since I'm in Florida and have to keep my baggage to a minimum (for the trip inside of the giant metal bird -- destination Ohio -- later this month) I've decided to deal with them. I bought a set of Coby (lol) headphones for $2 at Atlanta International. To put it bluntly, I got what I paid for. They suck. Audio is muffled, bass response is nonexistent, and they distort at the slightest provocation.
These Sennheiser ones, however, have been quite awesome. While they don't compare to my good ol' Skullcrushers (nor would I expect them to) they deliver very clear audio and surprisingly solid bass. If you want a decent set of earbuds, I definitely recommend them.
Speaking of Newegg, I also ordered something else from them. Behold:
(http://files.spectere.net/pictures/screenshots/2gb-laptop.png)
2GB. Finally. Long overdue, I'd say, given how much I've used this laptop these last three months (last time I even touched my tower was in November...eek). I haven't done anything that would really use that much memory yet aside from an extended visit to memtest86+-land, but I'm sure I will. Regardless, it was good simply so that I could upgrade my work laptop from 512MB to 1GB. Now that made a huge difference. It literally cut the startup time from something like two minutes down to thirty seconds. Awesome.
Finally...

I'm not much of a fan of ear buds either, most of the ones I've used don't fit my ears properly. One ear is larger than the other,, so if they fit the larger one, it's painful in my other, and if it fits the smaller one, it barely stays in my other ear. Plus, headphones/earbuds never last in this house. The last couple ones I've had were broken by my brother, too.. I've been keeping decent care of the stuff I gt, but he manages to break them in a week or 2 after he starts using them.
I had a fucking $50 headset that worked well for about 6 weeks, maybe, maybe a bit longer, but after that, my brother managed to fuck it up so that I had to prop the cable up with the mic, and then the mic on it died, and then the whole thing died.
Arg.
Anyway, I hope the sens work out for you.
-
They've been working out pretty well. They're about as comfortable as my phone headset (which are some of the most comfortable buds I've used...stereo, too, shame my phone isn't exactly the loudest music player in existence). I've pretty much had them in for six hours straight -- plugged into my DS, PSP, and laptop -- and listening to a lot of audio with no issues. The breakaway connector requires a bit more force to sever than I'd like, but I don't typically have a problem with snags (I usually run headphone cords down my shirt when I'm doing anything but sitting in one location).
The breakaway connector is going to be nice when I'm at work/school. If I ever have to leave my station I can unplug from the breakaway connector and not have to worry about music blaring out of my laptop's speakers (since it cuts off the internals when there is conductance in the port itself, like everything else) and I won't have to take the buds out of my ears, put them in, etc etc. Another nice thing about the lanyard design that it uses is that I won't have to worry about the buds getting ripped out of my ears if a snag should occur. The force would go around the back of my neck instead. Needless to say, that is definitely preferable to getting my ears ripped off.
Durability isn't much of an issue with me because I'm borderline paranoid about my things. I don't have to worry about anyone breaking it, either; no siblings and all that to worry about.
-
Yeah, well, he's beginning to turn me paranoid, lol. If I can find a place that ships those things to canada, I might buy them, I've been looking for a decent pair of headphones that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, plus, I really like all the features those have. Hopefully they'll fit nicely if I get them.
-
I didn't upload the game, Kenzya gave me the link. Thanks for the tip about drop, I'll probably use that from now on, looks really nice.
-
Everybody buy these (http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDR-V6-Monitor-Headphones-Voice/dp/B00001WRSJ)
audio problems solved. I've had these for over 6 months, and never have I owned a headset with such quality to it. I love these.
-
How good are the upper level sony's? Most sony's I've had were cheap, except 1 pair. That was a $40 set that were designed differently, with a neck band and something to wrap around your ear, with the "bud" facing directly into your ear on an angle, rather than straight in. (can't figure out what they were called or anything, this is all from memory). They sounded pretty good, (essentially like a better version of all the cheap headphones I've had), but they were definitely better than regular headphones, since they didn't have the usual "over the head" design (my head's too small for those things). They were about the best headphones I've had, but they could have had much better quality sound.
I've been thinking of either getting a decent pair of Sens, or possibly some Grado's.
-
Earbuds are really bad for you ears, so I try not to use them, ever. I use something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000G7ML40?smid=AWUTMJ84TDNVA&tag=cnet-ce-20&linkCode=asn (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000G7ML40?smid=AWUTMJ84TDNVA&tag=cnet-ce-20&linkCode=asn)
Mine are slightly different, though. I haven't noticed any sound leakage but I don't turn my volume up to ear-destructive levels, either.
-
Well, as bad as it is, I still listen to stuff really loud at times. Not so much any more, considering my hearing is so damaged that I can't hear above 12.5 khz or so. My hearing loss is noticeable in normal life at times now. If my mom has the TV down so my dad can sleep, and not hear it, it is barely audible for me. I either have to strain to hear it, or turn on the closed captioning :/
I'm still as sensitive as I was before, able to pick out detailed sounds and such, but I need things a bit louder, that's all.
-
Earbuds are really bad for you ears, so I try not to use them, ever.
They're no worse than any other headphone, you just have to be more careful not to blast them.
You can just as easily damage your ears with a car stereo system.
-
On a related note, cars are actually one of the best places to listen to music. Their design makes them sound WAY better than most other places you could listen to music.
-
Assuming you have a good car stereo system, which I don't.
-
Actually, Spectere, earbuds not only are dangerous when loud, but they make a lot of shit grow in your ears (ie bacteria) if you don't properly clean them at frequent intervals, apparently.
-
Actually, Spectere, earbuds not only are dangerous when loud, but they make a lot of shit grow in your ears (ie bacteria) if you don't properly clean them at frequent intervals, apparently.
Oh wow, I thought it was bad because they are close to your ear drum. Good thing I clean my ears like once a day. Also the only places I listen to music is with headphones on or in my car, so I'm going to turn my stereo down now.
-
Good thing I upgraded my speakers from stock to some nice Pioneers. WOO go me.
Bobbias, if you were to consider my sony's 'high end', I think they're quite excellent, the bass never gets muddy or fuzzy, and all sound ranges I've put thru it have been perfectly fine. Highly recommended

So basically, if you don't something fairly obvious (i.e. clean yo' shit), you can get bacteria'd. I think I'll be okay. ;P
Good thing I upgraded my speakers from stock to some nice Pioneers. WOO go me.
Pioneer DEH-5500MP CD/MP3/WMA head unit; 4x50W output
2x 6" Rockford-Fosgate 2-way circular speakers in the back
2x 6" Pioneed 4-way circular speakers on the kick panels
About the only thing I'd add would be a decent subwoofer system.
-
I still have to get a better HU, but as far as my speakers go, I have
4 6.75" Pioneer 4-way / kick panels and in the back [model TS-A1782R]
-
Man, today was a great day. At noon I begged for money in front of Walmart for indoor percussion. That was actually pretty fun, because me and my friends dicked around a lot and acted goofy towards the customers there. I wore my kickass black hat and sunglasses, and bowed to everyone who passed by while greeting them with something awesome (like "salutations" or "hello, good sir/madam"). I made more money than anyone else there all day, just because of how cool I am 8)
-

Nice, nice.
I'm not sure exactly what model speakers I have; my car's kinda far away from me right now, haha. When you reduce the bass you can pretty much crank the system as high as it'll go (not that I recommend it, heh) but at higher levels the bass tends to distort a bit so I generally keep it a little lower than I'd like to.
Those speakers do give great sound on things with a lot of bass and little mid-range, though, like rap and hip-hop. I think I can see why so many people listen to it -- it's not hard to put together a system that can handle it well.
-
Anyone ever sit beside a 12" alpine sub when it's blasting? I have. Now that is an experience. The sub took up the driver side and middle seat in the back of the car (it was a temporary thing). But man, sitting beside one of those at full blast is one hell of an experience.
In other news, having hearing loss can be a bit of a problem every now and again, but not as much as some people might think... (well, mine's not all that bad anyway, it's more frequency loss than a uniform drop in perceived sound level.)
Also, ear buds pump out the exact same volume that headphones or a car stereo would, generally. They adjust the output to deal with the difference in sound amplification that your causes, as well as for the fact that they are much closer to the ear drum.
All in all, unless you consistently put your music above about 80 db, you're gonna be fine, but if you listen to 80+ db music for any length of time, you're likely to lose your hearing over time.
-

I sat on the back bumper of a little 1992 Chevy Cavalier with a set of 12" Sony Xplodes with the volume cranked. Best ass massage ever.
The next natural step was to set a quarter down on the trunk lid and watch it quickly vibrate off.
-
Haha, yeah. Sitting right beside those things kicks so much ass.

Yeah, that would be. I wasn't trying to flex my e-penis with my comments, just mention that I have experienced being next to a sub in a car cranked, and know what sort of experience it is (a damn cool one at that.) I would not recommend that to anyone who cares about their hearing, lol.
-
I am entirely lost in this whole speaker conversation. I'm going to go take a nap :3
-
To be honest, some of that stuff is a bit over my head as well, but mostly just because I've had no reason to learn more about car stereo systems and such.
-
When I got my car [used 2001 nissan altima GLE], I didn't know anything either.. so I decided to learn :D There was only the stock speakers installed, and the rear 2 were blown out, plus on top of that, there was NO speaker at all in the passenger door. The really only working one was the drivers side door. Ha. Researched, bought 4 good speakers, installed them myself, and tada, excellent audio :D

I didn't mean that like it came out haha. I just meant since we were talking about our large-speaker stories I'd throw mine in. On a side note:
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK I leave for Katsucon on Thursday morning.
-
There was only the stock speakers installed, and the rear 2 were blown out, plus on top of that, there was NO speaker at all in the passenger door.
Damn. O.o
My Satty only had one blown speaker, on the rear driver side, I believe. It was all connected to a tape deck that worked about 90% of the time (and, as I started to use it, it started playing tapes faster...I hate when they do that).
The first thing to go were the old speakers. Just swapping those out worked wonders with the stock deck because in 1995 car manufacturers didn't seem to be too concerned with audio quality. After I installed my Pioneer deck...mmmMMMmmmMMMMmmMMMMM!!! Orgasm.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK I leave for Katsucon on Thursday morning.
Erm...have fun? XD

Anyone ever been shocked by a 300 volt capacitor? I just was :(
-
What was the amperage?
-
Anyone ever been shocked by a 300 volt capacitor? I just was :(
Me. Twice. =(
What was the amperage?
Amperage wouldn't have necessarily made it more painful, it would have just made him deader. =(
If it's your normal, everyday capacitor, odds are it's a fairly low amperage.
-
Well, I wanted to know if it was in the range of "deadly".
I would not want to get chocked by any decently sized capacitor. When we took apart those cheap 1 time use cameras in physics class, we had to manually discharge the flash capacitor... Well, it could weld itself to the screw driver we were using.
-
The flash circuitry on disposables is just insane. It's amazing what you can do with a 1.5V battery.
-
Lol, well, we never really got into the circuitry itself, we looked at the whole camera and stuff.
-
Still, those things are pretty neat. Not to mention ridiculously cheap if you want something to play with.

HOLY FUCK THIS LENS IS EXPENSIVE SHIT FUCK GODDAMN FUUUUUUUUUCCCKKK!!!! (http://www.ritzcamera.com/product/541531430.htm)
Remind me never to go to an online camera shop and sort lenses by highest price EVER AGAIN.
Oh, speaking of cameras, my dad won a lens for his camera (a 35mm SLR) -- $22 on eBay. I'll have to probe for more details on it (and the camera!) and poast.
I really hope the temperature is above freezing when I get back to Ohio so we can go photomagraphicing. Photography is probably the biggest hobby that my dad and I have in common.

I'm gonna apply as a ramp agent for ASIG at our airport here. Throwing luggage. haha seems easy enough.

Holy shit spec you weren't kidding. It almost seems like a typo, I mean hell I couldn't even sell my car for that much.
-
Wait, WHAT!? That's insane D:
-
From the description, I can say that it seems like an excellent lens. Of course, I wouldn't fork over nearly $10,000 for it.

rofl, I almost forgot about Valentines day. Off to order some fucen roses.

-
I remember going to this dance in 8th grade. There were a bunch of disposable cameras there for people to use to take pictures. My own curiosity led me to taking one apart. I got shocked in the process, then I saw what shocked me. I charged the capacitor, broke it out of the camera, and went and shocked people. It didn't discharge fully the first time; it was good for about 10 shocks, each less intense than the last. Then, being the nice guy that I was, I showed someone how to do it. He showed a bunch of people how to do it. I have a few burn scars because of this.
-
... Dude, that was not cool.
Electricity is dangerous shit...
-
I've seen that page before, I was always kind of curious to try it.
-
As I was reading I thought "Didn't that also have the potential to backfire, and do so rather painfully..." And then I read the part saying the first time he used it, it backfired into his chest.. lol.
-
... Dude, that was not cool.

Yes, I can tell by my scars. I only used one capacitor, but eventually all the cameras had been disassembled and charged.

Of course, that type of thing is going way beyond what I'd be using my camera for, but still...SHIT.
Yeah, I actually was taking apart a disposable camera. I made a coilgun (http://www.jeffhove.com/robots/coilgunhowto.html) out of it.
Ouch.
Yeah, watch out for those things. The capacitance in the disposable cameras flash circuitry can potentially kill you.

Lol, nice one. Today's going to be a rather lackluster posting day for me, apparently.
In unrelated news, I'm going to be leaving soon to the place my dad's working for at the moment (well, he's working part time there, and part time at his own company, because the market is kinda slow, and he's having trouble getting work). I'm gonna be going around the machine shop checking things out, because I've never gotten a chance to see what all that stuff is really like in person, and it's good ot know what you're getting into when you go to college. If all goes well today, I'll have a better idea of what I'm going into, or alternately, I'll realize that that sort of job isn't for me, and have to figure out some other idea for college.
EDIT: I'm waitin for my dad to finish up, and I'm on one of the computers at the workplace right now. so far, I'm most interested in PLC programming. PLC programming involves a rather unique logic system using electrical circuits as switches and such. It's used to control many different types of systems. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmable_logic_controller
What I was introduced to uses Ladder Logic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladder_logic) based programming to control the system. The main difference between Ladder Logic and conventional programming is that Ladder Logic is essentially asynchronous. It is a system that is constantly polling itself for any changes and reacting accordingly. Ladder Logic is really complex, but I find that I actually like it. It's programming on a different level than what I'm used to, and I really like that style.
As far as getting into college for that goes, I think I'll likely need to take a corrospondance course and complete a grade 12 math, since I don't have 1 (you aren't required to do math in grade 12, only up to grade 11.) I'll also have to commute to school, since the course isn't available in midland. But I think this would be a great career to get into.
tl;dr: I liked it, PLCs are cool.

Oh my shit.
tax return = new deck for my car.
oh my god holy mother mary jesus. My bass is fuckmazing.
I went to the Home Home Home of the one dollar installation, Audio Express. Bought a Pioneer DEH-P3000IB deck, installed, 30 mins later, I drive off. Out the door at around $280. Holy fuck. My sound is sooooo much better.

No, but you could probably get a full-frame shot of a dust mite from three miles away.

Why not tell her about the site, it's be SO much more fun that way :P
Either way, nice one dinnerroll, lol.

So I took my girlfriend to the beach, and had a picnic and stuff. It was all a total surprise to her, and she loved all of it and stuff. But she didn't do anything for me, or make me anything. I'm wondering if I should really care. Part of me wants her to have made me a card or something, at least so I can have something to remember this day with, but the rest of me feels like I did enough valentiny stuff for the both of us.
-
Bitches and ho's.
-
I did nothing. Well, we hung out, but we do that all the time anyway. I'm not romantic. I just can't make myself care about that crap enough to do anything special. Plus, I'm still poor since I still haven't cashed my christmas check, lol.
Also, what the hell is wrong with this place, some images aren't loading for me, and other things aren't. Is the CSS messed up a bit or something?

If you like dancing thingies, the ITG2 dedicab at Northpark Clubhouse in Robinson Town Center is awesome (it has like a bazillion songs, and I hear it's r21 now). You might even get to meet Jupichan if you go there!

Is he as awesome as the Ices Cube, T, and Vanilla?

Hey guys, back from our Indoor Percussion regional competition in Miami. We kicked ass, beat everyone there and are going to finals in Dayton. Woo.

Sounds pretty sweet :V
I'm back home for the weekend, and I just realized I haven't watched TV since december, with the exception of the superbowl. I can't tell if that's good or bad.

My dad sent me a picture of what I was "missing:"
(http://files.spectere.net/pictures/photos/snowy-saturn.jpg)
I fail to see exactly what I'm missing here. :)
-
Bah, xxxxx, we both know that we're suffering way more than that. That's only a couple inches, by the look of things. I have about 8 or 9 feet of snow on one side of my driveway. We have about 4 feet of snow on our lawn.
-
More like half a foot in some parts of our front yard (it's perfectly understandable that you wouldn't know the elevation at various levels of my yard ;)). According to my dad, that actually wasn't too bad of a day. He told me that one day they ended up getting some bad rain and it all froze after it hit the ground. That's the kind of stuff that I don't like.
I guess the schools have been closed most of last week due to wind chill. One time my mom told me that she had to take my car to work because the garage door was frozen shut. O.o
-
It never snows here D:
-
Just got back from UCF, that college is fucking HUGE. I was trying to find my way to my friends apartment and this big drunk black guy was lost with me, so it was fun. Also I got to sleep in my friends roommates bed while everyone else that came with me slept on a couch.
-
lol Midland. It's been raining since last night so it's dwindling down, but still a lot.
I'm going to another all-nighter with my friends at some Korean karaoke/internet cafe. Hooray for having no life.
You people and your Korean karaoke places :/ Midland has fuck all except drugs and booze. And snow. A LOT of snow.

Hmm, I do not recall making my last post. Probably a bad thing.
-
I just saw Jumper.
Aside from the basic premise and that one guy with the accent, I hated it.
-
Damn, I was hoping that it was gonna be half-decent. I liked the premise a lot, but the previews definitely made me think it was not going to be all that good.
-
I thought it was awesome =( It kept my attention for how short it was, and of course the ending leaves it wide open to a sequel. I like the premise and the idea behind it all, and I do agree in that it definitely could have been executed better. A decent, B- action movie
-
So far this year I lost my job, got really sick, my 360 red ringed and my IIDX controller broke. MAN 2008 IS AWESOME.

Meh, every time I thought I was about to get into it, the camera shook me loose. I really don't like how the last time you saw the other guy, he was trapped in power lines, he wouldn't kill a guy who was out to kill everyone capable of jumping but killed an Asian truck driver by leaving him in the path of a fucking tank, how much similar the girl was to Mary Jane, how he was somehow able to jump an entire apartment while being shocked and come out fine, but do it again underwater and go unconscious (which brings up another one, why didn't he just leave the apartment and just jump himself and his cliche girlfriend and leave Samuel L. Jackson guy to die?). I dunno, it seemed too thrown-together to me. I might check out the book, though, because the idea of jumping in this form is pretty cool.

The casing for the 5 button snapped on the inside so the left side of the key is stuck. I could possibly rig something if I got it open but the screws are ridiculously tight.
-
Lame, I never had much trouble getting into my controller. They were kinda tight at first, but they gave way pretty quickly.
-
Because sleep sucks?

I pretty much woke up every hour after 2 o clock this morning. It always happens when I take sleeping pills too.

Is it possible that something just snapped out of place rather than just flat-out broke?

Wow. O.O
Can we get an action shot?

It's in the mail, lawl. I ordered it late last night. But there shall be pictures.

Haha, nice.
Oh, and IIRC, I didn't even notice my 1000get, and someone here mentioned it to me, and I was like "oh wow, cool."
Not the first time I've broke 1k posts on s.net :P

I can hear the piece rattling around on the inside of the controller so probably not.

Yeah, mine too. And no, I didn't get VIP tickets. We just got practically the best seats in the house. There's ten of us, and we're arranged like so:
o o o o o o
_ o o o o _
... in the front two rows, and dead center. That's better than all of us being in the same row, or obviously in two different, weird places. My friend's dad is a badass. June 1st is going to be the best day of my life. 45 bucks is NOT a lot to see my favorite band in person, not anywhere near a lot. I'd pay like 200 or 300 to see them, christ.
Oh also, don't know if I told you, but TMBG is coming here, March 11. About to buy tickets for me and my best friend, paying for his ticket as an early birthday present. That should kick major ass as well.
Edit: Also, tried Rock Band for the first time today. Tried singing first, we did a song I didn't know (don't remember its name) and then one I did know, Black Hole Sun, and I actually did pretty well. Singing is really, really fun... a lot more fun than the drums (which I blew at) and the guitar and bass, which seem stupidly easy in this game compared to GH3.
-
I *love* doing drums in Rock Band. I only played it once at Best Buy (sans foot pedal, naturally) and I enjoyed myself immensely. I think I'm going to pick it up for 360 after I get back home; maybe I can convince my dad to play it with me. :)
-
Haha, you'd need to get a video of that.
-
The guitar in Rock Band IS quite a bit easier than GH3 (well, Green Grass aside really and probably the upcoming thrash songs) but the charts actually make sense, unlike GH3's garbage. I swear, they totally gave up on even following the music in GH3. Chords where there shouldn't be chords, triples for no reason, following parts of songs they shouldn't, etc.
Rock Band's drums are very addictive but just watch out on the bass pedal. Try to play heel down and barely lift your foot and for the love of god, do not press too sharply. You WILL shatter that thing in half like I did. I actually just got a new bass pedal from them, which is odd because I was just supposed to get an empty box and then ship my old one back to them before they sent me a new one...so maybe they'll send me another one and I'll have two? That'd be nice. Of course, since my 360 red ringed, that doesn't really help me.
Singing in Rock Band is awesome because if you aren't horribly afraid of it, you're totally star of the party.
-
I'm lazy, so I'd likely be sitting down for the drums anyway. I'm a light-footed player on DDR so I can't see myself being too aggressive with Rock Band. I know I'd be able to get at least my youngest nephew to play. If I could get my dad in, even better. I kinda doubt I'd be able to find a singer, but oh well.
The RRoD situation sucks. Are you still covered under Microsoft's warranty?
-
My friend got RRoD'd the day before Halo 3 came out. How balls is that?
Also, Spec, we still on for Gameworks tomorrow? Srsly this time, no work or other goofy plans >_>
-
I had the most insane, surreal nightmare last night. There was a mini-apocalypse, and I took some kind of drug or something, and I was with a friend of mine at another friend of mine's house, trying to collect supplies and stuff, and somehow, I became trapped inside a giant bowl of tomato and cheddar soup. Like, I became part soup or something, and my soup mixed with the bowl's soup, and our soups were woven together and I couldn't get out. Somehow I split into 3, it was me, a female me, and another male me, and they were both evil. They kept pushing me around, and pushing soup and cheese on me, and laughing at me while I was freaking out.

haha thats crazy man.
I had a dream one time where me and my mom were in this big tower like saruman's from LOTR and we had to run down this spiral staircase fighting all this weird shit and every once in a while there would be a fuck-long hallway, way longer than the diameter of the tower with a bunch of doors and eventually we made it out and then i woke up. Weird part is, I've had the same dream twice, about 10 years apart ???
I also had a dream when I was really little that I was being kidnapped, but i was dreaming in a sepia color scheme so it was all brown like one of those old movies, and i was in the back of this car laying down so i couldn't see shit it was crazy as balls.

...
I've been thinking about selling all my console games since I don't play them. They do nothing but take up space, because all I do is play WoW. It seems like horrible foresight, but it's been like this for months, possibly a year, now.
-
I'm lazy, so I'd likely be sitting down for the drums anyway. I'm a light-footed player on DDR so I can't see myself being too aggressive with Rock Band. I know I'd be able to get at least my youngest nephew to play. If I could get my dad in, even better. I kinda doubt I'd be able to find a singer, but oh well.
The RRoD situation sucks. Are you still covered under Microsoft's warranty?
Yep! Getting it replaced is actually really easy and a lot like how Rock Band replacements are done. You just go to the xbox support page, enter the system's serial number, see if it's under warranty and if it is, click on what's wrong (it has RRoD) and request a box to ship it to them. I have no idea how long it'll take but I expect a month.
I do sit for Rock Band drums but some of those songs are very bass heavy and sometimes you lose yourself and don't remember to press lightly and then whoops. They aren't THAT fragile but it'll probably happen at some point.
-
Quick question, where exactly should I put the power button wires into my motherboard/computer? I can't seem to find shit for them to insert into. I have an nForce680i LT SLI motherboard and an Antec case (it says P180/P180B/P182/P182SE on the cover of the manual), HALP.

Ah, okay. That's good.
I hope mine waits until I get back to Maryland, that way I can at least use my friend's system, haha. Of course, I'd rather it not happen at all, but that's about as likely as having a V4 PS2 with a working drive.

Ah, understandable. At least Harmonix is good about replacing the gear; if they weren't I wouldn't even consider buying it.
-
Never mind, I think I got it.

I had the most insane, surreal nightmare last night. There was a mini-apocalypse, and I took some kind of drug or something, and I was with a friend of mine at another friend of mine's house, trying to collect supplies and stuff, and somehow, I became trapped inside a giant bowl of tomato and cheddar soup. Like, I became part soup or something, and my soup mixed with the bowl's soup, and our soups were woven together and I couldn't get out. Somehow I split into 3, it was me, a female me, and another male me, and they were both evil. They kept pushing me around, and pushing soup and cheese on me, and laughing at me while I was freaking out.
This is probably the coolest description of a dream I have ever read.
PS: Spektaur: I'll text you at some point in the early afternoon to tell you what's up with Gameworks and such. Also try not to sleep in until 6, haha.
-
Now I get a start up screen and I can't do anything from there. I've put every set up disc and hit F1 and escape (what it says on screen) and nothing happens. At least I think I have everything hooked up right.
-

Hahaha, yeah, I'll try. XD
They've been transitioning us to mornings, so I've been getting up earlier. Scary thought, I know.

What does it say?
-
RAMBO WAS AWESOME GO SEE IT KTHXBAI
Seriously, though.
-
I saw Deathproof last night. Oh god that movie was awesome, holy crap.
-
It says my Monitors manufacturer at the top, then the CPU I have, the it says Master and it shows my DVD drive, then slave and it says nothing, then it shows my main S ATA with a list of other empty slots, then it says floppy failed (I don't have one). Then it says hit F1 to continue, or hit escape to go into setup, which I haven't gotten it to do either.
-
Odds are the floppy is set as present in the BIOS.
As for your keyboard not working, erm...what kind of keyboard is it? If it's USB it *should* work. If it's Bluetooth, you'll need to hunt down a USB or PS/2 keyboard. If it's wired, try it on another system to make sure that it works.
-
Apparently I had the keyboard in the mouse socket, and the mouse in the keyboard socket.....fuck.
-
Oh, don't worry, we've all been there. =( Whichever engineer decided to make both PS/2 ports the same shape and pin-out should have their nuts ripped off.
Just as a general rule in the future, if you don't have any sort of color-coding (or, for that matter, a line of sight) the port closest to the board is always (at least it was on every single system I've ever used with PS/2 ports) the keyboard port.
-
and now the version of windows XP isn't being read, which means the disc drive isn't hooked up completely (I have the HDD wires going from it to the motherboard, and the power wires going into the drive, so I think that it's fine) or that my disc is screwed up. :'(
Apparently I bought an upgrade for XP instead of the actual OS, FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.
-
Yep, my friend did that too. It's hard to find a real copy of XP, instead of an upgrade. XP is still rather expensive too :/
-
I bought mine at Wal-Mart lmao.
-
I'm thinking about getting back into Gunz, just for the hell of it. I haven't played a decent twitch shooter in forever.
-

We should get back into it together. I've been wanting to do that for a while, but nobody else to play with >_>
Also, back from Gameworks with Spektaur again, jolly times were had. I'm sure he's going to upload some of his crazy cell phone pics (you better :x)
-
TimJing you crazy bitch. You were epic at that game. Even if you do go back to it nobody will want to with you considering you're pretty much a god when it comes to that game.

And n'yes, grabbing le phone now.

I'll play with you guys.

I just now realized what Mortified's avatar was. Before, I was just thinking "avatar" because my foruming instinct has let me to not pay attention to the significance of people's avatars because I'm generally wrong. I looked at it for a few seconds just now and thought "Oh, that's what it is."
Also, I played D&D today and had a lot of fun because the 4 people I was playing with made it interesting. I'm a wizard, and all of my stats are 10 with no bonus except DEX (14+2) and INT (18+4). Most of what I do is distract monsters and solve puzzles.

JFK?
LET'S HAVE A MEETUP

I'm just waking up. =(
Makes me sad.
-
Can't remember if I mentioned this, but I'm going to Taiwan in August with a friend of mine. I'm excited because the flights have actually been booked, but I found out we have to connect at JFK and Anchorage. Leaving on the 1st, won't be in Taipei until like the 3rd bahaha.
EDIT: Page 72get
Wow, what's the purpose of the trip? A trip to Taiwan is kinda random, lol. Also, how much did that cost?

What books you playing with? Specialist or not? Shit man give details.

It's my first time playing, so I don't really know the details. I'm playing again today, so I can check.

I still don't know the details, just that I'm primarily a fire wizard with a short attention span and a strong desire to burn things. I typically do the most damage in battles.
-
TimJing you crazy bitch. You were epic at that game. Even if you do go back to it nobody will want to with you considering you're pretty much a god when it comes to that game.
Haha, thanks. I have to read like 350 pages of Flags of Our Fathers in about a week, and I have a German project due Wednesday, but aside from that I should be relatively free to run the Gunz.
-
Go listen to ipatch's radio show:

You obviously have to go to Taipei 101.

And go to the top floor. Oh, and pictures are required.

I had an interesting string of dreams tonight.
1) I was part of a nautical rescue team and went around rescuing people and stuff. IT WAS SO WEIRD. WHY DID I DREAM ABOUT THIS?!
2) I failed one of the parts for my test at Nielsen. Screw you, subconscious.
3) I was...shopping...at...Walmart. Wow.
4) My friend and I were walking around an area that looked like a less-developed Boardman, OH.
Then I woke up.
-
I had a dream there was some sort of nuclear holocaust or something and I was one of the 109 people left on earth. That was strange.
-
109? lol.
I don't remember my dreams. I haven't had a dream that I can remember in years now.
-
I usually only remember my dreams if I actually get a decent sleep.
There was one strange exception. I was asleep in my car between classes when I went to my previous university and I had an extremely vivid dream of a war-like scenario. Picture an environment like, say, Gears of War.
I was only asleep for about an hour yet it was probably the most real dream I've ever had. It was raining and I could clearly feel the cold rain on my face. I ended up getting hurt in the dream (shot in the leg, I do believe) and I actually had an odd, lingering pain in my leg after I woke up.
-
I still don't know the details, just that I'm primarily a fire wizard with a short attention span and a strong desire to burn things. I typically do the most damage in battles.
Pssh. Battlefield control wizards are where it's at. Screw rolling lots of d6s. Shut the combat down.
-
I remember my dreams enough, but they're very surreal and impossible to explain.
-
I had a dream you were all gay
oh wait
-
I think you mean stark reality.

So uh, last night, I went to bed at 7 am. Do I win something? : )
A pat on the back. Speaking of which, my Bawls Wall is nearly complete! I need two more bottles to finish it :O
Also, spec, everything cool for hanging out tomorrow? I have Wind Ensemble at school until 4, and after that I can just drive straight to your place and steal you. I'll probably be bringing my girlfriend on the voyage, so you can meet her and stuff, she's pretty tight 8)
-
So uh, last night, I went to bed at 7 am. Do I win something? : )
7 AM, that's it? I've been known to go to bed between 9 and 11 AM for days in a row. Hell, 5 AM is the time I've been most active on this website! (partly because spec and I tend to have large discussions at 5 AM when I'm getting ready to go to bed, and he's getting up.)
-
Finally got my PC running, and apparently it came with a free version of Crysis, which looks pretty and CHOKAN KOREAN GAEMS. Also I think I'm on spring brake, so wooo.

Yeah, everything should be coo~. I won't be able to get back here too too late (10pm at the latest) due to me having to pack for my flight tomorrow (crikey) but that'll give us a fair amount of time.
(partly because spec and I tend to have large discussions at 5 AM when I'm getting ready to go to bed, and he's getting up.)
Heh, actually, up until this week I was just getting to bed around 7-8AM because I had the night classes. Now I'm sleeping from around 7-8PM to 2-3AM because they switched my class to days. :P
-
Well, our conversations have been going on before you ever got flown down there, so that doesn't make much of a difference anyway, lol.
Oh, and update on my life: I'm now signed up to take the last math course I need to get into my course at Georgian College. Once I manage to finish this course (Which I joined partway in, but lucky me, the math I'm supposed to do is everything I did in my grade 11 course, but it counts as a grade 12 credit :P), I'll be able to take the course I want. Tomorrow, I'll likely be dropping my resume off at a place around town that seem to always be looking for someone (It's just warehouse stuff, but that's better than retail, as far as I'm concerned). So who knows, maybe in a couple weeks I'll be working, instead of spending all my time sitting around doing nothing.

Yeah really, who let him back in here.
-
lets see, i left spectere.net because i got fed up with the teen drama/random annoying shit in random chat, and i guess around the forum . came back, requested spectere ban me from the random chat. decided 90% of all posts are in this very thread, requested unban until i get pissy with the random chat section again, which then i will most likley request a new ban, but that shouldn't be for at least another 4 or so months.
but yea, i need a place to postwhore, and yell at people, and this is my place.
also, for things i was fed up with, don't read if you are the pissy type/can't handle honesty!
-my threads gone offtopic, notably the diablo 2 thread turned into a thread about something else (yes i know i do occasionally contribute to knocking threads off topic)
-"baww my gf broke up with me" in this thread, its high school, that shit happens, your life has barely even started, there are more important things out there.
-drinking related stuff, im an alcohol bigot, no big surprise
-me over lurking, not a site related problem, more of a willpower related problem, a minor one at that.
-megahurtz in yo watermellon? its more likley than you would think.
-and the kicker, I AM EASILY ANNOYED/PISSED OFF. as much as drop a pin around me and ill rage. im a jackass also.
uhh, and i need a place to kill time yo.

shit son, getting with a black chick would be pretty bitchin, screw these generic white chicks.

good fucking jesus playing killing floor with 5 people is fun
its like, awesome killing wave after wave of zombies with 5 people in a lan setting.
example, near the end of a later wave, everybody has low ammo, and 0 shotgun shells. there are 10 or so fleshpounders out there, these enemies can nearly kill you in one hit, and they are slow. shoot them enough with a weak weapon, and they get fast enough to outrun you, they take a lot of force to kill.
keeps you on your toes, i can say this.
-
wut is this game you are playing? Also lol late night postan. Also also this admin on my friends CSS server keeps talking to me.
-
killing floor = full conversion mod for ut2k4
its as simple as,
-you are some dude
-get weapons
-zombies come from everywhere
-don't die
but its challenging, so you have to find a spot in the map to horde up, and when shit hits the fan HANDLE IT!
-
Like Evil Dead amount of zombies or a wussy George Romero amount? Or is the value controllable :o
-
I'm currently sitting in Tampa International Airport, waiting for my flight to Atlanta. It's currently 12:30pm. My flight departs 3:00pm. argghhhhhh. It doesn't help that I'm le tired. =(
Hopefully this extremely hot Starbucks cappuccino wakes me up a bit.
-
Lame, hopefully you can get some sleep on the plane ride.
-
Tomorrow I'm going to be playing in a tavern with my guitar teacher's band.............
-
Nice. Taverns/Pubs/Alehouses/whatever are so much cooler than regular Bars. They have better atmosphere.
-
Heh that's actually pretty awesome.
-
Just went on a bike ride to the park to read some of Flags of Our Fathers, which I have to finish by Wednesday. It was beautiful there, and the weather was perfect.
-
Like Evil Dead amount of zombies or a wussy George Romero amount? Or is the value controllable :o
let me try and explain this.
the amount of zombies is dependent on the amount of players in game.
say you are alone, first wave is around 25 zombies, if you have 5 people, that wave should be over 60. and at wave 15, it is around 95 or so zombies. that may not sound like much for a late wave, but the amount of fleshpounders they throw at you will make you go out of ammo quick if you aren't careful. (if you are out of ammo on the stronger weapons, and all you have is the 9mm handgun left...after 3 or so clips, the fleshpounder will get pissed and rape you)
1 fleshpounder = scarier than 20 or so regular/acid spitting zombies
-
I can't help but think of sex when i read the word "fleshpounder".
-
well they are 9 foot tall super buff zombies with giant metal spiked clubs for hands.
-
Well, the lappy won't boot anymore. I guess the hard drive finally gave out. Good thing I backed all of my stuff up.
-
Lame, hopefully you can get some sleep on the plane ride.
I played through some of the last case in Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations on the first plane ride, then tried to get some sleep on the second one. I got...maybe 45 minutes, then I started playing PW:TnT again because I got stuck with an arm rest hogger/elbow bumper to my right and a "I'm going to slam the seat into your legs repeatedly" moron in front of me.
I was going to try to sign on when I was in Atlanta, but Atlanta International sucks and doesn't have free wi-fi (and I'm not going to pay $8 for the whole two hours that I'm going to be there).
Oh well, at least I'm home.

I'll check my property and see if there are any of them around haha.
The first one I bought was a general 'hat' from a store that sold a bunch of other clothing shit. It didn't fit, obviously, so I went to a HAT store where all they do is sell HATS. Got the right size and bam, the new one. haha

Haha, most of the computer rushes early on pwn me. I still haven't gotten good enough to survive that early rush well enough to live past a full scale attack. The computer just attacks too fucking fast, either I'm working on getting enough resource input, or I'm working on making an army that's going too slow because of not enough resources :/
Yeah, I suck hardcore at the game.

I would have liked to see Jaedong do better. I really enjoyed that match you linked to earlier.
-
yea it was unfortunate, but i guess on the bright side, he did lose to flash. and at that, he was the only loser in the quarterfinals to win a match rather than going 3-0.
but it is kind of lame that the best zerg player got taken out so quickley. then again, protoss fans could say the same about bisu. however, bisu wasn't the ONLY protoss player to make it to the quarterfinals.
one more thing to note.
stork lost 4 times in the entire tournament, 3 of those losses were to flash. niggas got skillz.

Bevmo is the best place ever

I have jolt and bawls regularly available now :D

what's better? jolt electric blue or jolt cola?
ps. this site is awesome. do they have a store by you sneaky or were you talking about the site?
-
Fuck, they took down the links to the episodes of Elfen lied and I was half way threw watching it ;_;.
-
I was talking about the store.. And typically they have Jolt now in these huge ass canisters with the screw on cap now.. if you head to jolt's website itself you can see. They sell those at walgreens all around me. The Bevmo is mostly liquor and alcohol, but they have a nice selection of rare or hard to find sodas and energy drinks.
-
is there any jolt worth buying?
i tried the cola, silver, and cherry so far.
the cola is basically a pepsi in a giant can, the silver is sprite in a giant can, and the cherry isn't very tasty at all.
i mean, its not bad, but i can easily find another drink that i would rather buy.
-
Jolt ultra is awesome. and passionfruit. The only 2 I drink. I hate the cola haha

Man, I need to get into competitive starcraft. I know nothing of anything near an advanced tactic. I've been wondering what the hell proxy gating is... I haven't been able to find anything clearly describing it.
I forget, can I still get online if I use a PERFECTLY LEGITIMATE CD key? I can't stand the computer's tactic of "rush ASAP". I simply cannot find a way to deal with it. Even the advanced players don't rush within like, the first 3 minutes. It's retarded, because while I'm trying to build my resource income, and I've made a couple units, they come in with just enough force to wipe out my defense, and proceed to rape my base. Even if I manage to beat them off, or they leave. I'm still screwed, because I have practically no resource income again, and I've got no defenses or anything. I hate it so much because it's just plain stupid. Plus, adapting to defend against early rushes will probably cause a problem later in the game when you need the extra resource income, and the expos. If you had to fortify each expo against a mad rush just as you establish it, you're never going to get anywhere. and once the opponant DOES strike, you won't have enough infrastructure to put up much of a defense.
Anyway, after watching that match Vlad, I've come to realize how much Goliaths rock. I never really knew how useful they were before, but grouped en masse with tanks and vultures, they kick serious ass. They RAPED those carriers with ease. Usually 3 or 4 carriers is a rather large problem, but he just ate those things for lunch.

Joey started a game of FF8 today. I'm his adviser. I know too many exploits in that game.

Should be pretty easy to find? What site were you using?
All u c and the new T.V. links. Both (Elfen Lied) are down.

Man, I need to get into competitive starcraft. I know nothing of anything near an advanced tactic. I've been wondering what the hell proxy gating is... I haven't been able to find anything clearly describing it.
proxy gating is when the protoss player builds a stargate outside of his own base (a proxy) so his zealots can get to the enemy base faster, this is a rush tactic.
I forget, can I still get online if I use a PERFECTLY LEGITIMATE CD key?
you know, starcraft is easy to find and dirt cheap.
Anyway, after watching that match Vlad, I've come to realize how much Goliaths rock.
without goliaths, terran would be utterly screwed for any real anti air defense. and don't say valkrys, they suck, and nobody uses them.
-
Well, as I've mentioned millions of times before, I don't always have cash ready to buy something, even if it is dirt cheap.
I used to own it, but my disk got BADLY damaged, and we threw it out. We kept the case, in case we ever wanted to re-install it using our CD key, but since then (years have passed :/) we've lost the case. I can usually locate my brood wars disk, but that doesn't exactly help me.
-
One time I was playing either duvel or logicow at Starcraft and I tried to surround my base with missile turrets and bunkers =D
(epic fail)
-
I've never played Starcraft before, but watching that was neat. It looked pretty cool. It was like a futuristic Age of Empires. Also, why did they give the winner a big piece of cardboard and some flowers? What the hell? What a lame prize.
Also, I watched the Matrix for the first time in years today, and it made a lot more sense than it used to, especially considering I asked my girlfriend a lot of stuff about the movie cause it still didn't make much sense, rofl. Pretty tight movie though, I like it a lot more than I used to, now that I understand WHY it's so cool, past all the bullet dodging and showy effects.

shoutcast is live if anyone is interested

Actually? I didn't think there would be anyone on these forums who hadn't played it, haha. But yeah in Korea they take it really fucking seriously. He probably got some money too.
Yeah, at the level they were playing at, there was almost definitely money involved. There used to be 2 TV channels in Korea dedicated to starcraft, 24/7, now there's only 1. Playing starcraft can make those guys good money, and even win them scholarships.
-
well, i wish they had a special channel here in north america for stuff like that.
i mean, i wasn't much for stuff like soccer, football, baseball, and the like, but i can get behind starcraft.
like i can't understand how people can stand up yelling at the tv because their football team is losing, but i can see myself yelling at jaedong if he doesn't pull his drones out in time when bisu storms all over them.
-
Haha, yeah, lol.
Man, that Bisu/Jaedong match you linked to earlier was awesome... Any sites I should regularly go to keep up with all this shit? I don't know jack about where to go for this stuff, lol.
Also, Blue Storm is an awesome map.
-
uhh, i mainly just check out the following from youtube, all are in english save for jon747, who is just a korean dude hosting a TON of videos. wasif and gravis to fp vods(their own first person starcraft matches with comentary), and the others are just english comentators. greth tends to do more casual matches, but he is entertaining to listen to, and its a nice brake from just seeing pro matches all of the time, his belguin accent also keeps things awesome. and moletrap, klazart, diggity do mainly pro comentaries, and they do a great job.

and to note, im not "big" into this stuff, but rather its just a casual form of entertainment i enjoy and read about.
also, i found ALL of these links simply by a friend of mine linking me to one of gravis's videos. clicked on his profile, checked his favorites...and went from there. the kid is damn good at starcraft. he even has a video of himself defeating nony (a very fucking good american player, ranked A or something on iccup, gravis being ranked B).
if you watch every single video, you will be entertained for weeks, at minimum.
enjoy
-
Yeah, when went looking for a place to download Blue Storm I found teamliquid, adn by the looks of it, that site'll be a great place.
I'll definitely check out those links though. My bro and I are watching the last games in the GSI. I've seen the final match, but I haven't see the other 4. We also watched Jaedong and Bisu's matches.
-
G4 actually tried to get commercial gaming going back in the day. Arena was pretty cool. Only problem was that it was always PC stuff only so I got bored seeing the same 3 or 4 shooters and Starcraft. Later they added in bonus rounds and stuff that had them playing a song in DDR or a match in Melee and they all just horribly sucked at them.
I think Major League Gaming has an agreement with someone now too. Probably SpikeTV. They hold a lot of huge gaming tournaments.
Less than a week until Brawl. That's what I'm excited about.
-
Well, spike certainly has room to add more shows to it's lineup. Plus, I wouldn't be surprised if they had some stuff like that. But I just wish commercial gaming was better accepted, and more available. I'd be so much more into commercial gaming than I would sports :/
-
Actually? I didn't think there would be anyone on these forums who hadn't played it, haha. But yeah in Korea they take it really fucking seriously. He probably got some money too.
I've never played it, neither have most of my friends. Shit, my one friend didn't even know warcraft 3 wasn't an MMO. I have played RA 2 and the expansion Yuris revenge. That game was fucken awesome.
-
Jesus, you guys and your friends have missed out. The late 90's was a golden age for RTS games. Starcraft is a lot of fun. It's very technical, but still a LOT of fun. WC3 is also pretty fun, but I prefer custom maps in that one. I'm absolutely amazing on tower defense maps.
-
wc3 is fun in the sense is its way easier to learn than starcraft is. i mean, i was actually "decent" at wc3 with a 40 something % winrate on the battle.net.
maby i should start picking up the game again.
-
whoa. I should totally get either wc3 or starcraft. My computer would actually RUN those, amazingly, unlike those newfangled games like the Orange Box and, uh, everything else =(
-
my honest opinion
flip a coin for it
they are both good games, starcraft is just arguably harder to get into. its harder to pick up, and the campaign is harder.
warcraft isn't too hard to get into, and the campaign actually teeters towards the easier end of the spectrum, save for a few missions.
but it mainly boils down to
-do you like a more macro oriented game where losing a few units isn't going to kill you
pick starcraft
-do you like a more micro oriented game, where every unit counts
pick warcraft
of course both games rely on both macro and micro, but generally starcraft is "HUEG ARMY vs HUEG ARMY" and warcraft is "SMALL SKIRMISHES" not to mention, talking both games at pro level here(hell, maby even at novice level), warcraft requires less apm(actions per minute) to be good at.

So I'm going to senior prom. My mom is making a bigger deal about it than I am. That doesn't take much, though.

hey guys
i hope you all like my new sig as much as i do
took a lot of... hard work
-
^ it makes me want to die.
So I'm going to senior prom. My mom is making a bigger deal about it than I am. That doesn't take much, though.
I never went to my prom, seemed like a waste of money and time considering I don't dance.
Also how would you giez compare Red alert 2 to WC3 and SC?
-
i didn't like red alert so i can't say. (SSLSLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOWWwwwWWWWWWwwwwEEessstttggGAAMMMEeeeevvvvveerrrrrmmmmMMAAAAddddeeeEE)
its not saying much, i actually don't like the rts genre save for wc3 and starcraft.
-
You must have never played any of the C&C tiberium games, those were 1/4 the speed of RA. Also how is C&C 3/RA 2 compared to WC 3 and SC.
-
considering the only rts games i have ever played are
wc3
sc
ra2
yea, i can't say i have played a tiberium game.
-
So I'm jumping on the starcraft bandwagon. The only RTS I've played would be under the red alert series. So here goes nothin.
-
We should have IP games and such, since I can't get onto battle.net...
Oh, and I'm getting better. I did a double proxy gate in Blue Storm and managed to rush a computer zerg before they had anything other than a Hatchery, lol. I just finished placing a Nexus at the expo (right beside my double proxy) just before the game ended, lol.
Oh, and I managed to get into a late game with me as Toss vs a comp Terran, but I couldn't manage to mount any successful attacks aside from the occasional Reaver Drop, because the computer seemed to be in love with ghosts. How the hell do you counter ghosts with the Toss? I really hate those guys. Lockdown and Cloaking together is a gigantic pain. On the bright side, the computer is a moron when it comes to positioning nuke strikes.
-
if it makes you feel better, just about NOBODY uses ghosts/battlecruisers/valkrys
-
Which were the 3 things most pissing me off in that game, not so much Battlecruisers, since my 3-4 carriers pwned them in firepower, but the ghosts and valkyries were a problem. Valks are pretty decent as AA, but the fact that they're only AA makes them useless in post games, but 1 valk could take out pretty much all the shields on one of my carriers before the carriers killed it :/
The computer does a lot of things most people don't. It likes to move units around in the area it controls in small groups or just single units. Unfortunately, when those are ghosts, and cal lockdown before you can kill it, a group of 12 dragoons can very quickly find itself reduced to half that, before even encountering one of the comp's expos.
I tried a non-rush game on BakemaGoji (or however it's spelled), and got beaten pretty bad by the Terran. My early game has improved a lot, but my mid-game SUCKS. And my late game.. Well, I almost never get that far.
Man, I wish I'd kept my CD case safe... I hate having to pay more money just because I lost my CD key.
I should also get back into WC3. Maybe I'll be able to get better at that game. Unfortunately, I never got into playing normal games in SC or WC3 before. I always played custom maps/UMS games.
-
eww rts
Pretty much all I play are RPGs.
-
eww rpgs.
j/k
I play some RTS, some RPGs, some MMORPGs (I make a distinction, since they do have a rather large difference in gameplay), and very rarely, FPS. Most games like "The Sims" piss me off, and I find it very hard to find an MMORPG that's worth playing for more than about a week. One of the things that almost every MMORPG fails miserably on is the items. The thing that sets WoW and Diablo2 apart from other games in their genre(s) is that item wise, they are extremely flexible, and you can get quite a bit of help form your items. (Though I wish there were more sets in WoW :/)
I've kinda gotten into this weird phase where almost no game can actually feel worth playing for more than about a month. I just find every flaw and problem with the game and get to the point where I just don't get any satisfaction from playing it. Most MMORPGs have practically no social interaction, and no flexibility until your character is pretty much ready for end-game stuff, and are boring as FUCK to grind; most RTS games are very inflexible, and you get stuck doing the exact same thing every time because it's the only way to win; most RPGs don't give you enough control over your character, or don't have enough unique features that set them apart from all the others; and I suck at pretty much every FPS ever made.
/rant
Part of the reason I get pretty much every game PERFECTLY LEGITIMATELY is because I'm cheap, and don't want to pay more than about $10 for something that I'm going to get bored of in a month or so.
-
If I like SC I'll go buy the battle chest for 20 bucks. Until then, I think of it as a demo :D
-
Lol. Yeah, I may end up buying it again to get back onto Battle.net. But until then, I'll be playing the computer, and maybe playing some of you guys in IP games.

Play FFXI. There's a shitload of variance in gear and ways to play through the whole game. Barring the first 10 levels or so of course, since there's only so much gear you can equip at those levels.
-
Money. I would if I didn't have to pay. We recently canceled our subscription to WoW because of money problems. I've wanted to try FFXI for a long time now, but have never had the money to do so.
Well, there's that, and the fact that I'm extremely cheap. when it comes to games.
-
eww rts
Pretty much all I play are RPGs.
I don't see how people could do this. Hell, the only things I never play are Sim games, sports games (sometimes with a friend, like once every 3 years) and mini games. Everything else I pretty much play.
-
Warcraft 1 is the only RTS I've ever actually played and even back then, I thought it was really boring. Most people who play RTS don't understand a single thing about actual strategy and just follow guides that other people put out. There's almost zero room for any sort of bait and attack or any sort of cool ideas because the maps are so completely defined.
I do have to say though, that Shogun: Total War or whatever it was looked like it was close.
So, EA screwed up yet again with sending me Rock Band stuff. I requested a box to send in my guitar and instead of just sending me one box, they sent me two. So now I don't know if I'm supposed to just send in my guitar and keep the other box or send in the guitar and the empty box with a note saying they screwed up and sent me an extra box.
Aggh I want my 360 back.
-

i am in agreeance with this post. i simply can not fathom sticking to a single genre of game. i actually would probably quit gaming if i did this. i like to mix it up for the most part, currently grindan in ff12, after that who knows, maby i will try to actually beat a gta game. as for games i look forward too, from the thread in gaming, i would say i have a pretty varied list of games that should all kick ass.

There was a blood drive at my school today. I think the most freaky part was when it was finished and the nurse taking my blood held up the bag with a pint of my blood in it.
-
you know, i wouldn't mind drinking a pint of blood. the stuff is tastey, and full of protein.
-
Also, whenever she took the needle out, my vein bled a little bit under my skin.
-
Oh god, that's awful, I don't want to think about that :<
Also, I was inducted into National Honor Society tonight! Yay, I'm cool!
Also also, shouldn't we kinda just wait until Starcraft 2 comes out, and then get into that? >_>
-
well, im not technically playing starcraft, im just watching it. i think of it as something to watch when theres nothing on tv.
also, i am attempting to farm 1000lp before i spend any. leveling from 10 to 30 in the bejerba mines, whee.
*edit* 500something lp down, 400something lp to go.
-
I get to see They Might Be Giants live a week from today. It's gonna be pretty pimp.
Also why the hell won't this fuddy duddy machine let me change my avatar?

I thought about going when they came here, but I didn't really want to drive back down to Seattle.
However, I'm totally goin' to the protest next weekend. >:V

And that will make you sick. Very sick.
EDIT:
Woo, take that, computer! I win Toss vs Toss against the computer in a non-rush game. Finally, my first non-rush win against the computer. I am definitely improving. My micro is still MISERABLE, but at least I'm getting better.
-
whats wrong with blood mang?
and i managed to farm 1000lp, just need 1000 more, and maby i will progress in the game.
-
It's not that there's something wrong, but if you drink 1 pint of blood, it will make you sick. It's just like how it's pretty much impossible to drink 2 Litres of milk without puking.
-
well, i haven't attempted it. i just know it doesn't taste bad from general getting cut and bleeding over the years.
also, start watching this video at 5:30, i burst out in laughter and this is just one of the awesomest things ive ever seen in starcraft, and this is an amateur game.
BOOM

Oh my god. I just bought and installed a new Logitech wireless setup [keyboard/laser mouse]. I used to have this stupid 3rd party ps2 keyboard/ optical mouse combo, and my mouse quit on me last night. So, I decided to go with the best and get Logitech.. I've never had laser anything, except a laser pointer :D anyway, the response is amazing, and the keyboard is soo smooth and makes barely any noise.
If you want to look it up, it's the Logitech Cordless Desktop with LX710 laser mouse
WOO!
-
I have a Logitech MX620 wireless mouse. I configured Winamp so I could use the mouse like a remote control to watch videos while laying in bed.
Also, I now have a Stratocaster.

well i run on a logitech mx518, its pretty dope.
also spiders. i am arachnaphobic, and these things are awesome.

they jump around when you put your finger close to them, and yea, they are the only spider i won't go "OMFG RUN THE FUCK AWAY NIGGA" and scream like a 3 year old girl with the boogeyman under her bed.
and to end this post

i could click the image, look at the spider, then one half of a second later, goosebumps everywhere, clicking the back button on my mouse, and proceeding to be creeped out.

Oh wow the gunz community is lulzy. Timjing made a room and we had a few people crying about people "spraying" and type killing and what not. Then on the next round I join with my massive machine gun and get kicked once I get my first 4 kills.
-
Wow, that's pathetic.
-
Yeah, it was pretty lame. The gunz community is a cesspool of fail and AIDS.
I'm gonna reformat my C: drive, wipe it clean and start anew. Aside from backing up all of my files and such on my F: drive, what steps exactly do I need to go about taking?
-
Formatting your drive? There should just be a utility for it. Are you going to use Ghost to back everything up, or just save individual data files?
-
there are quite a few different programs you can use for formatting, but the easiest way, if you're going to re-install windows, is stick in the windows CD and start installing, and when it says that there's already windows on that drive, tell it to format. (quick, since full formats are generally unnecessary, and take forever)
-
I swear my same group of friends has the same warped taste in games. They looked at me playing god hand and instantly said god of war was better, me having beaten all three said god hand was better, then one said "lol no". Also they keep telling me to buy Mario party.
-
mario party is a good way to make me break a controller.
gee, i love games that require little skill and the ability to get lucky and switch stars with someone with 7 stars when i have 0 on the last turn winning the entire game based on that part of a turn alone...
-
Dude that stuff is hilarious. Mario Party is basically how you separate overly competitive people from gamers who just want some fun. The OC guy will flip out over everything.
Speaking of Mario, I went back to Galaxy since I never got all 120 stars. GodDAMN it is amazing. Never fails to put a smile on my face.
-
I don't like the mario party games... It's not that I'm too competitive to play them, it's just that I don't like playing them, period.
-
Dude that stuff is hilarious. Mario Party is basically how you separate overly competitive people from gamers who just want some fun. The OC guy will flip out over everything.
I played it once or twice and thought it was boring. I'm hardly competitive but still, the game is so slow paced and none of the minigaems are that fun.
-
I would beg to differ on a lot of them being fun. Which game did you play? It does really depend on which MP game you're playing.
Honestly, a lot of gamers just resign themselves beforehand like, "Oh I don't normally like minigames and stuff." and then they play it as *gasp* BIG SURPRISE, they say they don't like it.
If the game's slow-paced, turn the turn number down or tell the other people to hurry up with their moves. It's not like these things aren't controllable.
The other type of person that exists is the "jaded." They're more or less incapable of having fun with something they've deigned below them or they've already decided that something is garbage, even before going into it. It's painful. It's why games like Zack & Wiki or Okami or even God Hand don't get sales. Z&W has a weird title, a cute character set and it's on the Wii. But damn if it isn't a fantastic game that no one bought because they thought they were above what was presented to them.
Aggggh now I'm off on a giant tangent. I'm just easy to annoy with stuff like that.
-
It's snowing here. This never happens. :D

Heh, I might consider myself "jaded" but I'm far from a "IT MUST BE GRIM DARK GEARS OF WAR IS AWESOMMMMMMMMMMMMMME" type of person, I really can't stand people like that really. I still want to pick up ZW, despite it being short.

I'm gonna save some individual data files. Most of the stuff on my C: drive I don't care about anymore, or never did.

Board games are how you really separate the competitive assholes in your group.
[/danieltosh]
-
I guess I fall mostly into the "jaded" group. Except that I play oldschol arcade game and such. I think my problem is with modern games that try to emulate older games and bring them into the new platform and stuff. I don't like the idea of taking a game and doing something else with it (3D megaman anyone?). I'm not a fan of minigames in some games, but I still play stuff that could easily be taken as a minigame in things (Python/Snake/Worm/Whatever, Pong, Kickle Cubicle is fun as hell, so is the old Bubble Bobble [not Bust a Move]) There's something about them that just bothers me. I've played 3 (and probably an earlier one as well), and we own one of them (probably 4, 5, or 6, We're too lazy to check which one it is) and I don't like it either. I actually, sorta liked 3. I wish they would have not made so damn many of them.
Either way, I'm gonna stop ranting now.
On an unrelated sidenote, my jaw hurts like fuck. I just had 3 teeth removed today. I had a mild sedative to calm me down, some cream that was supposed to freeze my hand, but they put it someplace other than where they actually pit the IV in, and an IV of something to put me to sleep for them to do the work. My gums are fine, despite having had 3 adult teeth removed, and stitches put in. However, my jaw is fucking sore. Plus, when I woke up a second time, and tried to walk around, I got dizzy and light headed and nauseas (which never happens normally when I get light headed/dizzy). It happened twice, and hasn't since. This sucks, because I couldn't eat or drink anything since 5 AM, so I'm hungry, but I'm still a bit nauseas, and I can't eat very much :/
-
Haha, oops, I totally forgot about my eye appointment on Tuesday. My bad :x
-
Bobbias: Same thing happened when I got my wisdom teeth out. However, they gave me great pain meds :D
-
They gave me a couple Tylenol 3's. Luckily, the pain has almost completely gone away, except for a bit of soreness in the jaw. It kinda feels like I got punched by someone right on the jaw. The gaping holes in my mouth bug me a bit when I eat something, and have to try not to get food into them, and any weird movement of my tongue (ie. to direct food, or to get a bit that's in them out of them) causes some pain, but it's not that bad..
Surprisingly, the IV I got was not as bad as I thought it would be. I figured it's hurt more than a normal injection, but except when they had to adjust the thing, it only hurt when they first put it in. Of course, I'd had a bit of laughing gas, and some Diazepam/Valium (I believe.) Oddly enough, I have absolutely no idea where they put the IV. I never really got to clearly see where it was, and I don't remember the pain well enough, because of the stuff in the IV, and there's nowhere on my arm that hurts, or shows any outward signs of it, lol.
Well, at least I don't have to worry about those cavities giving me another toothache, and maybe I won't need my wisdom teeth out, since there'll be more room in my jaw now (2 of the teeth were the last molar on each side, so there's a gap between my teeth and my wisdom teeth on both sides now). The other one is 2 teeth back from the last molar on the right side of my jaw.
-

Just kidding, I was the same way :P

its really awkward having a bisexual friend who happens to be attracted to me, come over and stay for two days.
i mean, the guy has a lady friend he is sorta with, but that isn't really doing anything.
on the good side, i slept in the basement, so i got no awkward attempts at man love.
if he was an attractive girl, things would be different, but not with my luck.
ohh and he showed me this, it looks interesting so im going along with it.

That blows. In a book I read recently for English the author talked about how ridiculous those moral tests are (and also urine samples).
-
Be thankful it's not hair samples. They can detect if someone's smoked pot months after a person has stopped, with drug tests on hair. (Well, depending on the hair length and such, I believe.)
But you know, I think that's something else different between Canada and the US. I've only heard of drug tests in Canada for jobs like cops and stuff, as opposed to more normal jobs. I've never heard of someone going for a normal job and needing to provide a urine sample. (Though I did have had a bit of an ethics test when I applied at Elcan. I felt bad for answering "yes" to "I feel my social life is better when I hang out at bars." :/)
Also, this blows. I haven't had a half-decent night's sleep in 3 or 4 days now. I can't seem to sleep for more than an hour or 2 before waking up again, and taking an hour to get back to sleep (if I do at all). And my days have been rather mixed, considering I've been feeling crappy either because of the painkillers making me nauseas, being really hungry, because we don't have much food, and I have trouble eating some stuff since I've still got some tender gaping holes in my mouth. I really need to sleep, but my GF will be calling between 1 and 2, so that's not even worth it any more. I'm running on a mix of jittery tired energy from lack of sleep, caffeine from the coke I'm drinking, and a bit of the left over effects of the last T3's I took.
Holy crap, I just noticed: Today at just after 2 AM we set a new record in the number of people online at once. Now we're up to 18. However, this place is still fucking dead. Everyone needs to post more, instead of lurking.
-
Brawl comes out at midnight tonight, going to more then likely go to the release. Other then that I've got homework to finish, which is a pain.
-
the only game i got at release (at midnight, in a blizzard...pun unintended for said game) was WoW:TBC.
waiting in a line with some 50 or so people in a meijers store, at midnight, with utter shit blizzard weather, ohh yea i am crazy.
and apparently, the part of pakistan i happen to be in, has a grand total of 7 people living there, including myself.
*edit* to mention, this erepublik stuff looks pretty cool. you don't need to invest much time in it each day, and you can work towards taking over the world.

Hah, you guys and your weather. It's finally starting to feel like spring here in washington, temperatures are breaking 50, and it's actually sunny :3

Rock Banding it up. 2 of my bro's friends are over. We only have Vocals, Guitar, and Drums, but it's still fun.

I might be goin old school today for my first IIDX style. I'm going to Primm (small city right outside of Vegas) to a mall and Buffalo Bill's casino to ride the roller coaster. According to ddrfreak it has a beatmania complete mix 2 and IIDX 6th style. I remember distinctly hearing about the 6th style machine and it's not the greatest by far, but it should be interesting for my first style in the arcade provided its not completely fucked up or turned off because it's not DDR. God I hate arcades, especially gameworks that do that. They say it's turned off "for maintenence" yet it's always off because they're dumb.
-
Begged for money at Walmart for band this morning. Forgot to set my clock so I ended up getting there an hour late, rofl. Then I felllll asleep in a 7-11 parking lot waiting for my girlfriend to finish her homework and get ready. Then I stole her, we went to my house for some puzzle and coitus action, and went to Aunt Chilada's. They have some delicious fajitas.
And OH MY GOD has anyone else here ever had fried ice cream?! it's ridiculously amazing~~
-
Just got back. That roller coaster was intense (in a good way). Tallest one i've been on so far and fastest and biggest drop lol.
Also, got to play IIDX 6th in the arcade. It was a bit offsync so my scores were about a grade lower than normal and it took me a few tries to figure out how options and stuff work (only thing I knew of IIDX AC was how to select Another difficluty on older styles). I wasn't too bad other than that, but I was missing scratches about 95% of the time...it's so much harder lol.
I played about 3 games and my last one was Holic [a] to see how close I would be to home and I failed with 62%, not too bad.

Just got back from canoing, and I feel dead.

yeah, canker sores in the first place really blow. I get them all the time, especially after consuming a *tiny* bit more sugar than I normally do (which still isn't much)

I thought you meant you had cancer for a minute, until I realized that you meant you had aphthous ulcers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphthous_ulcer) (don't you love Wikipedia medical links? :3). We should all use this term now, because it's lulzy.

Not yay, we get a lot more snow around here than some places because of all the damned lakes and shit.

Four installs last week -- 51.5 hours worked, a lot of those being spent driving. Whee! It's not so much that I didn't have any free time, I just didn't spend it on my computer. FUCK YOU GUYS, HAHAHAHAAH. <3
I hung out with DA DAVE for the past few weekends. I picked up Rock Band and Army of Two and we've been playing the shit out of them. My bass pedal is still in one piece.

Woo, so my dad's van broke down today. The transmission totally pooped out on it. There's a fun grinding noise when you put it into gear. We were driving back from shooting some photos when it happened -- we were driving on my street when GRRREEASKDKDOKOAO{WEOOFDSOAKFEOAW. Luckily, we were able to pull into a parking lot before the thing just refused to go.
The events leading up to that were strange. My dad spontaneously cleaned out my car today. He didn't even know why he did it, but he felt that he had to. Basically, he just cleaned out a few things, removed some of the things I had stuffed in the center console, vacuumed the carpet and stuff, and took the loose change and pens out of it. When we were walking back to the minivan after taking the photos, I took a picture of the minivan for some inexplicable reason. It's almost as if it were meant to happen.
Oh well, at least he can drive my Saturn around. I'm not exactly going to need it (I'm not even going to take it with me to Maryland when I go back -- there's no point since I can use my company car for personal use; it would just wind up taking up another valuable parking spot at our apartment).
On the bright side, he did wind up getting $250 for the van, plus a tow. That'll be enough to put an exhaust on my car that doesn't make the engine sound ten sizes larger than it is.
That said, I took my Saturn out for the first time since I'd left for Florida in January. Oh maaaaaaaan, I'm going to miss that car. :( It's just so much fun to drive. I love the fact that the pedal is directly connected to the accelerator and that I actually have gears. It just has a great feel to it.
I like my Five Hundred and all, but it's very obvious that it's built for comfort and work rather than fun. The accelerator is electronically controlled and it doesn't actually have gears -- it has one of those constantly variable transmissions. Very smooth ride, very easy starts and stops, but...it's not as fun.
-
That sucks that you can't drive a stick anymore. I just got my first car, a 1997 VW GTI, and if it wasn't a stick I would shoot myself. I have so much fun driving that car because its V6 2.8 engine in the body of a VW golf, which is about 3200 lbs.
-
They Might Be Giants were awesome. They played a bunch of my favorite songs, and it was amazing.
Also I just watched Disturbia, really good movie. It had a lot of similarities with Transformers, and not just the actor who plays the main characters.
-
They still have standard transmissions available, it just depends on the car. Automatic transmissions are still an option in most cars. Also, considering that I drove almost a thousand miles last week, I'm glad my company car is an automatic.
Speaking of smallish cars with serious power, I really want a Saturn Sky with an LS-7. Hoooooly shit. A tuning shop in Ohio released a run of Pontiac Solstices and Saturn Skies with LS2s, LS7s, and turbocharged LS7s. For as light as those cars are, those things would just scream.
I have a lot of fun with my Saturn, even if it's an automatic (it does have a factory-installed toggleable performance chip, after all...heh). The thing is light enough (under 2000 lbs) that even its little DOHC LL0 motor (1.9L 124hp/122ft-lbf) gets the thing going pretty quick. It annoys the hell out of me when people look at the spec sheet for my car and just assume that it's a dog. The fact that my SC2 is at least a thousand pounds lighter than most cars in its class pushes it ahead of a lot of other vehicles.
Also I just watched Disturbia, really good movie. It had a lot of similarities with Transformers, and not just the actor who plays the main characters.
I would have probably enjoyed it more if it weren't so damn predictable. :P
It was a pretty solid movie, though.
-
Yeah, I saw basically every single plot twist in that movie before it even started, no joke.

I actually feel really bad for that woman, that shit was uncalled for.

Yeah. She locked the car. It had an alarm on. She wasn't even inside the store. Jesus Christ, how fucking stupid can the cops be. There was no evidence of neglect or abuse! Unless the judge is a fucking moron, the cops are going to look like a bunch of retards in court.
-
Speaking of smallish cars with serious power
Friend of mine just picked up a 2008 Mini Cooper, fully decked out. THAT THING is a small car with serious power. Though the back seat is more a novelty then anything. God forbid someone other then the driver and passenger are in it.
Also: We have a Magnum. With a hemi. It's not small, but it has a shitton of power as well.
-
Coopers don't have particularly powerful engines. They're fast for the same reason that my Saturn is a bit zippy -- they're small and light cars.
The top of the line Coopers come fitted with 1.6L 171hp I4s. The Saturn Sky Red Line is a tad bit heavier (only about 200lbs) but pushes 260hp. If you were to slap a Corvette's engine into it you'd wind up with a frightening amount of power for a small car.
Also, Magnum with a Hemi. Want.

I got my glasses yesterday.
-
glasses are weird. i was embarrassed to wear them when i first got mine, but time passes, and i honestly don't notice them for the most part.
i do look sexier with them off however, but theres no fucking way im getting contacts. i had a subscription for contacts, so all i needed to do was put them in and i could leave...i ended up leaving without the contacts because they wouldn't fucking let me have them if i couldn't get them in. so basically, i wasted an hour of piddling around trying to get those motherfuckers in, only to end up with frustration and nothing.
SORRY I CAN NOT SPREAD MY EYES OPEN AS WIDE AS YOU CAN PEEL THEM WHILE JAMMING A PIECE OF PLASTIC IN MY EYE!
im better off going commando son.
-
Yeah, I don't think I'd ever be able to stick contacts in my eyes... But then again, if things keep going they way they are, I'll be the only one of my friends who doesn't need glasses when I'm old.

ololol stork must hate his life, always #2.
well thats what he gets for playing against the best current terran player.
for some reason, i got enjoyment out of seeing the look on flashes face after he won, then he goes off to hug his mom. it would be pretty freaking kickass to dominate a tournament of a major spectator sport of the country, twice (i believe its twice, unless he won more), at the age of 15.
also, the new lowes commercial, the music for said commercial reminds me of dragon warrior for some reason. it sounds freakishly similar to something ive heard in dragon quest monsters.
*edit* hellz yea, found the uncropped image of that thing i was looking for. booyah.
*edit* odd, cannot find rawm of smb3, and i REALLY don't want to find the nes and smb3 cart. guess ill just not play it for now. thinking of playing earthbound when im not lazy, problem is, im lazy. i know its a good game, ive gotten all the way to summers some 6-7 years ago, but that file is long dead.

thats damn good son. i got my pc some 3-4 years ago, and video card aside(256mb geforce 7800), its pretty much a bit less powerful in every way than that rig(especially the processor, amd single core, 2.2ghz), and it was some $1300 back then.
got to love price drops in technology.
also, don't be retarded and order all of your shit, it comes in, you get ready to put it together...only to realise you need to order a bigger power supply because your video card takes more than the old power supply can put out. I LEARNT THIS THE HARD WAY!

It's my birthday today. I'm 23.

Also my 360 is still sitting at Microsoft.

to note, i cool down my pc by not having the side pannels attached and i always have a small fan blowing diagonally on the videocard/HDD(without it, the HDD can get hot enough to burn my hand, with it, its always a neutral room temp).
ghetto cooling yo
also eggman, try and have a good one.

On it, you guys need to do this moar. I'm sick of y music and don't really feel like being a pirate.
-
Well, I'll get hosting it most afternoons.
-
I rarely get facial zits. I get the occasional one, but not much any more, since I am nearly 20.
I hate popping pimples though.. I could never stand doing that.
I'd set up a shoutcast server on my MyBook if it wasn't for the fact that my internet upload speed is crap (capped at 56.6 KB/s), and I can't seem to get port forwarding to work properly with my shitty router.
-
Yeah, well, I've got 1mb/s upload at school, so 8)
I'm going home for the next week though, so I'm not going to be streamin' until next monday.
-
What do you stream, anyway? I might listen, but I hate when you mix stuff like, say, The Flashbulb, with the next song being like, Indie Rock, or something like that.
-
Well, I generally have my entire library on shuffle. Most of my music is either electronica (Psytrance, IDM, or Breakcore mostly, with a little DnB), metal (prog and melodic death metal mostly), or prog rock. You can totally request stuff though 8)
-
Hmm, I might give it a listen. I enjoy every one of those genres. Though I always prefer things to be somewhat organized into genres when I listen to music. I don't like coming from 1 thing into something totally different most of the time. I'm pretty picky about how I listen to my music, lol.
-
Wow, I dislike every single one of those genres lol
NEEDS MORE EUROBEAT zomg SYNTH LINES
Also, I'm depressed because I guess I'm not as good a tank as I thought. I guess my paladin will be stuck at 59 for a while.
-
... How can you hate all that. Eurobeat makes my ears bleed. Well, older stuff that was played in the clubs in like, the early 90's isn't bad, but a ton of that stuff is terrible.
If you want cool synth, just find some old trance, like from the 90's.
-
I went to run a bunch of errands after school today. I cleaned out my bank's supply of $2 bills (they had 31 of them) and found some really interesting books about my county's history at a local library.
I'm gonna spend the rest of tonight maxin' and relaxin' all cool.

To each their own. I love current day eurobeat, and I think old trance sucks.
-
Wow. I hate new trance because it's been pigeonholed into cookiecutter boring. Old trance was allowed to be different, and used a lot of different sounds not heard in current trance.
Aside from eurobeat, what else do you like?

I just got home from an intensely awesome ski trip with my mom and a couple of my friends. I'm sore all over, but it was worth it.

man i love my parents. what do i get for easter? a 24 pack of monster, fuck yeah! a spoiled kid is me.
-
Why do people get anything other than candy on Easter? Seriously. Last year, I saw a woman buy 3 copies of Guitar Hero, one for each of her kids because "they hate to share." MY GOD.
I have jelly beans. That's what you have at Easter. They cost $1.50 at Wal-mart for a nearly 1 pound bag.
-
Glad to hear I'm not the only one who gets dick all for easter.

Me too, don't worry :s

uhh, i got a bag of reeses eggs to add to that. and honestly, id be happy with just that, hence why i mentioned me being spoiled in the last post, because i am.
and as usual, i have another thing to tack on to this post. been thinking about starting up the diablo 2 again, maby getting a character up to patriarch status, something i haven't yet done offline...seriously, ive been playing for 6 years and i don't have an offline patriarch. 1.11 hell difficulty is hard son, don't make fun of me, BAWWWWWWW.
*edit* and my grandma gave me a dollar, yes, a dollar. and to me, thats a sausage biscuit, score!

Yep. I lucked out and have been in only 3 relationships, including the one I'm in now which is nearing 4 years.

Well, I'm not complaining, but it does bug me when people get all sorts of shit for easter. I just don't think that it's necessary.

i love this website, the only place i know where you can buy awesome stuff like this.
The Keystroker emulates a keyboard and mouse and periodically makes random mouse movements and types out odd garbage text and phrases. A simple jumper setting allows you to choose between either keyboard garbage typing, annoying mouse movements or both. An adjustment pot sets the duration between "events". We recommend you don't set it too frequently so as to extend the agony. Your hapless co-worker pal will think his computer has been possessed or infected by a destructive virus. As he writhes in anger and furiously dials tech support you can rest easy with a job well done.
i swear, i must buy one of these when i have $25 laying around.

Nothing like the experience of my mom taking us to church without my dad and coming home to hear my parents fight on a lovely easter sunday.
-
I went to church today. There were two parents and their two infants sitting behind me. I thought the babies would never shut up. I was right.
-
I love Thinkgeek so much. 8)
-
Thank god my family isn't religious... I think that church is a gigantic waste of time. I mean fuck, you're supposed to be able to pray at any time, anywhere. You're not supposed to have the mindset that you only think about god and pray in church.. That goes against what Jesus said in the first place :/
-
So I got candy and a 50 dollar gift certificate to gamestop. I'm thinking of getting No Moe Heroes tomorrow, but I'm not all that sure. Should I just wait till I get my new PC set up and buy CoD4 or is NMH really worth it (I've heard a lot of mixed things after the hype died down).
-
Get it. I don't even have a Wii, and I want it, very badly. Therefore, you must obtain it in my place. :V
-
I think religion is bullshit, but necessary bullshit. It was used to keep people in line back in the day (look at what Muhammed managed to do. He knew people would be gullible enough to believe him at that time period, and he manipulated many people into participating in one of the hugest conquests evar), and still succeeds in doing so today (although, not as well as it originally did). ah hell uh oh i bet this post is "politically incorrect" i'd better stop

What hype? The game didn't have any. And reviews of it were mostly low.
That said, it's an amazing game. Most of the reviews tried to compare it to Grand Theft Auto or other ridiculous things. It's a seriously old school game that is easily one of the most geniously written anythings ever.
-

That's pretty well in line with the way I see things too.
-
guess im lucky with the religion thing. my mom is christian, my dad is somewhere inbetween athiest and agnostic (i THINK the exact term is agnostic athiesm, but its a bit to complicating for me to wrap my head around.), my sister is christian(or some branch of the religion, but its nothing wacky), and i believe the same things as my dad.
mom goes to church, sister believes in what she believes in, dad and i don't bother with that stuff. our family gets along great, no conflict whatsoever on any front, let alone religion. even when i do bring it up, it ends up going into a conversation on how other families don't seem to have the acceptance that people believe in different things.
now i will say i am spoiled for many things, but this alone is what i am most thankful for. who needs cool stuff when your family gets along fine, and life is good.
too damn bad world piece isn't going to happen, it just further delays the advances we could be having in technology. no sir, i don't give a damn in what you believe in, you don't need to blow up that school bus full of children. ohh the primitive world we live in. i watch too much star trek =/
that aside, i woke up, fappd' thought about making a sandwitch, now i kind of want a sandwitch, and a korg kp3.

Well, my mom was raised roman catholic, my dad, I don't know. Neither of them go to church or care about any of that. I was raised in a catholic school, but specifically raised to be able to make my own choices. I understand the catholic/christian faith, but I'd prefer to think that whether or not god exists doesn't make any difference anyway.
I don't think you can prove whether god exists or not anyway. Every single argument I've heard from both the atheism and the theism sides can be refuted. Nothing is concrete, and I don't believe there IS a way to prove it. I'd like to think that instead of getting all worked up about whether god exists or not, we should find our own morals. I believe that regardless of who he was, Jesus had some good ideas. I don't believe that the church is what Jesus would have wanted it to be, so I ignore much of what the church has to say about things. I may not read the bible, but I know quite a good amount about it, thanks to going to catholic schools all my life. I agree with many of the teachings of Jesus, and the ones I don't agree with, I have my own ideas of. If god really does exist, I'll find out when I die, and he can judge me however he's supposed to judge me. I can only hope that if he does exist, he judges fairly and justly, and that he's more the forgiving god that jesus describes, than the vengeful god of the jews.
And if he doesn't exist, well, no loss for me. I haven't been a saint, and who knows if I would go to heaven. Not existing is just like you never existed in the first place. It's like how you can wake up after a night of heaving drinking and forget parts, or all of the night. Those things you forgot are like they never happened, according to your memory. Think about that happening to you for all eternity. You don't exist. Sure, people around you will still feel the effects of you living, but for you, it's like being asleep eternally without dreaming. You simply don't exist.
Ok, I'm stopping now because this is turning into yet ANOTHER wall of text. I've got this insane habit of doing that when I've been up all night. :/
-
What hype? The game didn't have any. And reviews of it were mostly low.
I guess I meant 4chon hype, but I haven't played a good hack n slash game in a while and I was wondering if this was worth it. Plus I heard devil may cry 4 wasn't as good as 3 was, which is disappointing.
-
Organized religion / monotheism is bullshit, in my opinion. I don't hate people who follow these types of religions; it's their own choice, but I hate people who try and push their beliefs on others (missionaries and such).
My mom is a Roman Catholic who takes religion seriously, you couldn't have a solid argument with her without her avoiding the argument or filling it with ad hominem. My dad and brother aren't religious, and my sister is a Christian who feels that the modern church isn't what Jesus would have wanted.
-
I think I've might have been scammed, but I do have 2 large home speakers now for about 100 dollars. Considering they wanted 400 and I could probably get 200 for them I think I might be ok.
-
Vlad: I saw that last night too, there were a ridiculous amount of guests. I wonder what the deal was :s
-
Meh, from what I've heard it was a scam and they're probably only worth 100 (what I paid). I might be able to sell them to a friends girlfriend, so I really hope that pulls threw. Shit sucks, I was so fucking tired and I never trusted the guy but he wouldn't fuck off so when he went low enough I figured I could sell it.
-

You should probably just stop listening to them. DMC4 is easily better than 3. Better graphics, better sound, super smooth control, better balance on difficulty, a much MUCH improved skill system and Nero's Devil Bringer probably makes him better than Dante. It's super awesome and I'll be running through it on Son of Sparda difficulty soon. People just like to bitch bitch bitch that Dante goes back through Nero's stages in reverse but they're switched up quite a bit anyway and Dante's so different that you won't even care anyway.
God, gamers get so negative these days.
-
Sounds pretty wicked. Is it still ZOMGWTF insane hard? We tried DMC3 and failed like, the first level on EASY :/
-
It's easier, I'd say. At least, it is on the first two levels of difficulty. The game has 6. Human, Devil Hunter, Son of Sparda, Dante Must Die, Heaven or Hell and Hell or Hell. Human's pretty easy and should definitely get people used to the game. Devil Hunter's a bit harder. Then it jumps and the game becomes brutal after that. I don't even know how hard anything above SoS mode is. I would guess ridiculous.
-

Hah really I remember playing on hard (after normal and with a decent amount of health power ups) and thinking it was pretty easy. Also I know heaven or hell is one hit kill everything, so is hell or hell one hit kill yourself and everything else has normal health?

gatdamn, first the snow starts melting, then we get frost, now its fucking snowy outside.
i like my snow(in months such as november-february), but march/april snow can die.
*anotheredit*
i find myself doing this fairly often now
about two weeks ago, i was up watching youtube videos. i started out looking for videos of jumping spiders, and going only through related videos, i got all the way to videos of making chainmail.
today, i started out with a simple search "liquid nitrogen" and 10 or so videos later, im at watching a watermellon rot under timelapse.
i do the same thing with wikipedia, ill look up one thing, and before i know it, im reading about something i normally wouldn't have searched for.
-
Hahaha, wow, I love my sig so much. This realization just hit me yet again.
-
gatdamn, first the snow starts melting, then we get frost, now its fucking snowy outside.
How much you getting? We're supposed to get about 10 cm (about 4 inches.)
Other places around here are supposed to get something like up to 25 cm or something like that.
-
well uhh several hours ago it was going, looked like we got an inch or so. i looked out the window just now...barely any snow anywhere.
fucked up weather to say the least.
and for my birthday, awesome weather...
Thursday: Scattered snow showers in the morning will give way to a mixture of rain and snow for the afternoon hours. High 37F. Winds ENE at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of precip 60%.
good thing i don't get out!
-
Wow, ouch, that's some crappy weather for a birthday.
-
well, that is if i had outdoor plans.
i generally just sit around enjoying myself for the day, and enjoying a stuffed crust pepperoni pizza.
it may be bland, but it works for me.
as for the 21st birthday next year, im going to make that a day of working out and exercise(what a surprise! /sarcasm), heck yes son.
-
Superman is fun to rant about.
-
Finished my project, and still need to do the majority of my math and the rest of my autoCAD homework, then this week will be FUCKING OVER.
-
So I might join the air force
-
Wow, what prompted that?
-
Wow, what prompted that?
joining the military = money, and other good stuff.
problem, being the kind of person that can handle the military. i mean, if i thought i could handle it, id do it, i mean, you can make a pretty good living in the military.
-
I'd never be able to do that stuff.
-
I couldn't handle the discipline methods the military uses, much less do such strict instruction.
-
The Air Force is probably the most lenient of them. I have a few friends in the Navy and they say it's hard as all hell. The Air Force guys seem pretty relaxed though. If you go for like...communications or something, you'd probably actually have a fun time.
I mean yeah, you'd get the rigid exercise regiment but some people really get into that and, if you can stick through it, you'd be in the best shape of your life.
-
Well, a friend of mine is going into police foundations courses in college. He's somewhat overweight, and has asthma (not very bad). Well, he's not exactly doing well in the half-mile run. They wouldn't let him stop to use his puffer when he had an asthma attack... And that's only police. If they gave him as much physical exercise as the army would, he'd be dead, lol.
-
My buddy prompted it pretty much. Well, at least the thought of it. I'd rather have someone yell at me for 6 1/2 weeks and not have to pay for college due to it being the armed forces + GI Bill. So I know I'm the kind of guy for that discipline. Plus it will motivate me to lose some weight, because the AF doesn't have a weight loss program or whatever. They have the max. weight requirements for your height, and that's it.
-
Being stationed in, like, Germany (or Japan like my brother-in-law) would be pretty cool. Especially if it was only for like 2 years, which is enough time to eyerape the area without getting TOO homesick (or just plain sick).
oh ps Spec I didn't find that mouse (or any, for that matter) at the mall. I'll have to check somewhere else for it D:
-
milkchan and i decided i need a monocle. it would make me look classy, and awesome.
ohh, and im 20. yay for numbers!
*edit* took me some 30 minutes to get the darned thing working (the .exe that came with it DIDN'T WORK) but the external is up and running, now when my pc hdd dies, i won't be losing anything important.
not to mention, im no longer in the dark ages, i have an mp3 player. no more primitive "burning music to a rewritable cd and playing it in a cd player, but no i can't move because it will skip"
music, video, images, ohh my!

So I stopped drinking soda and started running every morning.
D:
-
yeap, gestalt. just a mildly short campaign we are playing before one of our friends gets his star wars game started up, and even that would be only until the summer when we start a 4th edition game.
its been fun so far, not to mention the only gestalt game ive done. we usually just do standard 3.5, or the star wars rpg(which i personally prefer to 3.5, i am more into the sci-fi settings over generic medieval fantasy).
and to sir sneaky, i may start attempting to get into shape (AGAIN!) soon. this new fangled mp3 player should make exercising alone a bit easier.
*edit* game was awesome, lots of awesome happened.
and monster bfc's are like, big, and awesome.

I lolled hard: http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=260 (http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=260)
Also, happy birthday, vlad! :D
-
So I stopped drinking soda and started running every morning.
D:
Good, soda blows. I stopped drinking it over a year ago. Recently started biking nearly every day as well, feels nice.
-
I'm still addicted to pop/soda. I do mean addicted. Quitting would be hell for me. Especially staying quit.
-
I never understood how people can drink a lot of dark soda. Then again I never understood how people can pick up smoking and be "addicted". I have a friend who casually smoke (2 to 3 a day really) and he's done it for years and still says it isn't addicting.
-
Well, my mom and (now) my brother are both addicted to smoking. I don't think that my brother is willing to accept that he's addicted, but it's pretty apparent when he's going on about not having had a smoke for a while and really needing one and all that. I've smoked cigars, as well as weed and I can say that there was a big difference between tobacco and weed. After smoking a cigar, I had this small urge in the back of mind that was more or less saying "that was good, how about you smoke another one" (or something like that, you get my point). But after smoking weed, nothing. Just a thought of "hmm, that was pretty nice."
It's hard to explain the difference between an addictive urge and just simply wanting to do something. An addictive urge is like something that keeps going on in the back of your mind. If I don't have a Coke for more than say, 4 hours straight, I feel like I need another one. I get this anxious feeling, coupled with a craving for Coke. (You know, like when you feel liek you really want something, be it pizza, or some other snack, specifically?)
Depending on the time of day, and how long it's been since I last had a can of Coke, I might even develop a (rather unpleasant) headache, due to not having Coke.
Even when you're fully aware of your addiction, it's not a single bit easier to stop it. And it makes you that much more miserable, because you know you're addicted, but feel like you can't do anything about it.
I know I could quit if I REALLY wanted to. But I don't want to quite that bad. I like the taste of Coke. In fact, even without the addiction aspect, I prefer Coke to pretty much any other drink out there. It's a combination of the carbonated aspect, and the flavor itself.

So I met Rune Glifberg and got his autograph.
Yea I'm cool

-
My sister's been smoking for a year and a half almost. About a month ago she told me she was going to quit, and taped up her box of cigarettes so she wouldn't have any more. Of course, she started again. I'm not sure whether to be disappointed or to just not care.
-
Well, for some people, it's really hard. Some people just get more addicted than others. But at any level, it's hard. I'd say urge her to quit unless she's gotten to a point where she honestly believes she can't quit, or just has way too hard of a time. Don't be too hard on her, but at least let her know that she really should quit.
Or just don't care. It's up to you.
-
Well I have a question about servers, would the distance between my PC and a server affect my tick rate or would that only really effect ping? I was playing on a "100 tick" CSS server and my tick would not rise over 72, and I'm pretty sure my rates are set fine.

uhh and this portable hdd is like sex. i have a pretty good chunk of what is in my documents(muzak, pronos', random images(4chons) animu(which in turn, i deleted from the desktop hdd, since i no longer download any) in the thing, so almost any pc with firefox can be used almost as if it was my pc, its bitchin'.
lets see, well its still a bit too cold to go out for a walk at night. the windchill makes it about as cold as it was when there was snow out, lets hope we get a nice moderate temperature for a nice long time soon. only problem with that is, moderate temperature leads to hot temperature, and hot temperature leads to around 2-3 months of misery and going into the basement just to stay cool. but, until then, enjoy the cold while i can.

I'm not a lolicon anymore. I found this out months ago, but i realized that I never told you guys.
-
Lol, well, thanks for the update.
Did like 5 minutes of browsing. Good to see you guys haven't changed a bit.

Jesus Christ what?

it's you
actually i kind of forgot who you are but i recognize that screen name D:<
how are you sir
Honestly my life has been a fucking roller coaster ride since I've been in college. So much fucking shit happens nearly every day. Drama drama drama, but I love it.
Highlight: identical twins making out. That's the kind of stuff you just hear about but never believe really happens, but I was 2 feet away from it. It went on for about 5 minutes, and was the most beautiful/horrifying thing I've ever seen.
-
Holy shit awesome. Was is girls, or dudes? Did you get pictures? :O
-
horrifying thing I've ever seen.
the only horrifying thing i can think of in that situation is the blue balls.
ohh, i can't seem to eat many reeses peanut butter cups, this has to be a sign telling me "nigga, you is gettin' old"
i mean, for the longest time, i have had an infinite tolerance to stuffing my face with enough candy to give an entire african country diabeetus, and here i am barely able to finish off two reeses eggs. what gives?

Hey, weird, I've been kind of like that recently as well. No clue what's up with it, though. :o

That's because college is freaking amazing, srsly.

Jesus Christ. I want to know the why on that identical twin make-out thing. I've never quite understood why anyone would do that. (unless money was involved... or lots of liquor).

Posting here at the D-Pad, a local gaming place with like two dozen TVs and a bunch of Wiis, 360s and playhuegs. Been here since 10, partying with a dozen friends and playing all manner of games: DDR, GH3, rock band, SSBB, etc. Also raping people at Goldeneye :>
Highlight of the night: going across the street to a McDonalds (whose drive-thru is open 24 hours a day) with two guys and ordering $75 worth of breakfast and dinner food. The lady, after I ordered (which was a meticulous process), told me that I "better pay for this food," because she had my license plate and would call the cops if I didn't pay. Hahahaha. It took them a good 10 minutes to make our food and by the time we drove away from the restaraunt with 5 drinks and 3 HUGE bags of food, there were ELEVEN CARS in line behind us, all waiting "patiently" for us to GTFO. The guys in the car directly behind us heard me ordering a million things and were cracking up the whole time, because they thought it was a prank. They were like o_o when they found out we were for srs.
-
Haha, would have been so much funnier if you walked through it instead of driving a car.... (I've done that before :P)
-
I've tried it, but most places won't even take your order if you try that. It's kind of a bummer too, because the Wendy's by me closes their indoor eating area at 10 or so, but leaves their drive-thru open all night, and I'm always hungry at 2 or 3 in the morning >: |

Kate and her sister Maggie made out while extremely drunk in Europe. I wasn't there, though.

i tried to walk in at mc donnalds at around 4am last year
doesn't work
-
Well, I walked through the drive through at 1 AM a year or so ago. The most I got was a "nice car" remark. lol.
Nowhere else was open.

Sounds like Cyberden (http://www.cyberden.com/) in Columbia, MD.
That place kicks ass. It has a bazillion TVs, computers, and consoles, plus a well-maintained ITG2 r21 dedicab -- best one I've ever played on. (period)
-
So I cut my wrist on some of the packaging plastic (the stuff that could cut glass) for my Wiimote charge station.
-
im surprised they don't make buildings out of that packaging plastic, its basically harder than diamond.
-
I call it "not-plastic", as in, "I cut my wrist on some of the not-plastic that my charge station came in."

I cut my wrist

Hmm...
Well, all I've seen is that xkcd redirects to Questionable Content, and DDR Freak locked their Random Chat forum. I didn't look too deeply at DDR Freak, though.
-
you still go to ddrfreak?
i haven't stepped foot into that forum since i became a regular at a0.com
-
ok its april first, what has the internet been doing on this day?
I was going to create a new set of databases that contained nothing but a single forum that said something like "WE'RE STARTING OVER" just to fuck with you guys, but I didn't have time. Oh well. :)
Not really a prank, but VG cats is just tearing into B^Uckly.

forapple snapplme rapple, you ponapplesnapple reminded mapple of whenappnesnapple arc0wl papple the snapple wordfnappleapple on the snappleite.

-

Not really. I just thought, "Hmm, I wonder what they're doing today..."
My account hasn't been active in over a year.

you forgot my april fools joke >:|

Yesterday was the first time april fool's day wasn't on a school day since ever. This week is spring break for me >_>

applying to burgerking
I NEED A JOB SON
shitty job = money
money = start college
start college --> leads to less shitty job ~~~> perhaps even a good job
or even
shitty job --(work experience)--> less shitty job
lets hope i get in, this michigan state here has some ~8% unemployment rate
THEY TOOK MY JERBS
*edit*
on an emo note, the raid leader for my old guild passed away today. painkiller overdose. he was a cool guy, and the game wouldn't have been as fun without him. (which it wasn't, after the guild fell apart last year)
*edit for stepmania*
since the dawn of my sm career, i have never AA'd kilgas "never gonna come back down" and i continue to only get an A on that sonbitch. at the same time, i 20 greated quasar 1.5, and AAA's eggmans A. but i guess overall, those songs have less "bullshit" notes in them.
*edit*
also, i am looking for free video recording software
something to record a "lets play" of contra on, but with what i tried of camstudio, i got a mediocre/bad quality short video (beat level 1) that was 65mb. 65mb for a video of that length/quality is unacceptable, how the hell are people uploading these 10minute videos to youtube with good quality?
and ohh my god, it is a nice day, like, its a nice moderate temperature, low wind, great.
-
I particularly enjoyed the thingy /b/ added. Aside from that, it was a rather unremarkable day for me.
-
Yeah, though Blizzard made some awesome stuff for it.
-
Parents left for vegas today.
WOO let the drinking and gaming ensue.
-
Lol, nice.
-
Meh, I applied at abercrombie and fitch, but I'm pretty sure they won't hire me. Something about not having the most "sunny" personality and me not shaving my face until my neck beard itches me.
-
Haha, same approach to the beard as me. Except that I usually ignore the itch until someone bitches at me to shave. At this point, I'm so used to having a beard (even if it is kinda scraggly and stuff :/) that I don't like being shaven, lol. I've developed a habit of stroking my beard when I think, lmao.
But yeah, part of the reason my bears is as scraggly as it is is because of my dad. He's not exactly the best genetic material as far as beard growing is concerned.

The best advice I can give you is that, during interviews, your attitude is whatever will get you the job. Always emphasize how well you get along with people, ESPECIALLY with retail. Retail selling is about creating a rapport between you and the customer. Whether or not you continue to fake it after being hired is irrelevant.
I need to start to find a job again. As soon as I can, I need to get the tires fixed on my car, get my license and maybe get a paper route. $600/month on average for a few hours of delivery each night.
-
Nice. I applied at Elcan again. They had a job fair yesterday that I went to. When I mentioned I was going for Electronics Engineering Technician , and PLC programming, the guy sorta laughed and said that he was going into a course for PLC programming soon. He asked me about my experience soldering and that, and I mentioned that I've done some small time stuff (like fixing the Guitar Hero controller, and fixing the RF adapter for my Gamecube a while back), but nothing that required extreme precision or anything. I wish it'd been a bit more formal, and we had a bit more time, lol. It's hard to make a lasting impression when you're just talking for about 5 minutes and handing them your resume. Hopefully my mention of PLC programming and computer programming as a hobby made enough of an impression. Then again, it's not even up to that guy :/ Elcan's way of screening prospective employees is pretty impersonal :/

I know about that, I always wear a nice T shirt (something with a collar) and act pretty up beat but I'm still unemployed. Also I wanted to work stock.
-
Lol, yeah, I want to work stock, if I have to work in some retail place. A lot less customer interaction.
-
Just got done doing ESOL tutoring at the library for the first time. Taught two women who were from Syria English. It was actually kinda cool, they're already pretty good at English so a lot of it was just explaining weird stuff like saturated fat and mincing vegetables. Now I'm off to practice again, I have practice from 9 to 7ish today but dipped to come here. I don't wanna go back, we aren't even doing much D:
-
working stock at say 1am at say a place like super walmart would kick ass.
no uniform (i believe, i talked to people that worked there and he said it was fine to wear his normal clothes), less people, easy work. doesn't sound too bad of a job.
in the meantime, i lifted a small bit last night, something to start getting into the routine again. arms feel dead, its a nice feeling.
-
Stock is a very hard job to get accepted for. I worked Christmas overnight stock for Target a few years back. It's the easiest way to get the job. Staying on the team after Christmas is ridiculously difficult though. They are very picky and don't really need a whole lot of people. I also didn't do the best job so I obviously didn't stay there. It was $10/hr to start on weekdays and $11/hr on weekends with guaranteed 36 hours every week though so it was definitely good pay.
-
Yeah, I figured it would a pain to get stock, but working with costumers there would be a pain.
LOL PAEG 100 GET GUYS.

REQUESTING THREAD LOQ
MUST NOT REACH PAGE 101!
NEED>>.>....nNEeEEWWww....TTrhhrhhheeaaddddDdDDdDD!!1ff
if this thread reaches page 101, i will have to reveal yet another embarrassing thing about myself. and i know yall don't want to hear it.
-
oh
-
really?
-
Apparently.
But yeah, I'd like to work stock. Despite not being one of those guys who can lift a lot of weight, or is used to doing a lot of that stuff, I don't mind that sort of work. I complain and all that, but that's just my way of dealing with it. Stuff like that, I don't leave something half finished. I make sure I get the job done, and get it done right.
-
REQUESTING THREAD LOQ
