Title: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: BP on April 18, 2006, 05:21:16 PM
This is where you can complain about anything that is bothering you. For instance, all my video game stuff is breaking. My DS, my GameCube, SNES controllers, it sucks. Why does this always happen to me, I've got, through two DSs now. Waaah.

Dude, I get totally bothered when threads get remade that have already been made. (http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=5997.0)

I hate how much harder BBC are to type than HTML because of the placement of [] vs. <> on the keyboard.

Well, I'd complain about evolution, but people would get mad......I'd complain about Pokemon, but then I'd get killed by PM fans.......I'd complain about annoying people, but then I'd.......EEEEARGHHHH!!!

No, an angst thread is perfectly fine here. I want to stick it... but na.

I don't like it when hyper-religious people tell me that I can't have morals or a purpose in life without God.

Not that this has been mentioned here, not in the least. But PaperLuigi's comment needed a parallel.

I also don't like when women tell me that I'm inferior to them because they're women and I'm not. If I AM inferior to anyone, it certainly has nothing to do with one of my 23rd chromosomes being somewhat smaller than the other. Great. Make yourself better instead of spewing your closed-minded unfounded femiNazi tripe all over me.

You know what? I just don't like closed-mindedness in general.

Expect several poker hands here in the future from me.

Hey, ya know what I hate? Airplane food. What's up with that?
Ba-dumb-kssh!
But seriously, one thing I hate is how everybody says the GTA games are corrupting children. For one, they're rated M; children should NOT be playing them! Two, parents, if they want their kids not to play it, then they shouldn't buy it for them! It's not the store's fault; they need a parent's permission to sell M-rated games to minors. And finally, did you know that, ever since GTA III came out on the PS2 in 2001, juvenile crime rates have dropped? I don't have the chart on hand, but the chart was actually created by the government. So just how is Jack Thomphson getting his supposed "proof" that kids are all going insanely violent due to GTA (other than his harrasment, lying, insults, threats, and quoting the bible)? Forgery, most likely.
Anyhoo, that's the end of my rant. Glad to get that off my chest.

Did someone actually say something as idiotic as that to you? :S

About 4 or 5 months ago, on campus, there was a random "feminist" (I use this term very loosely, because most feminists push for REAL equality, not "unfair compensation advntages") march that got disguised as a protest against domestic abuse. A good cause, if it weren't instead a lame male-bashing fest. I was walking to the building on campus with the ITG machine in it, and this group (about 50-60 or so) happened to be marching past the same location in the opposite direction. Long story short, one of the people in that group, whom I've never met before in my life, tells me I'm a rapist by default. You know, that 2nd X chromosome gives you the ability to know more things about other people than they know about themselves, that's for sure, because I don't remember ever raping anyone. Even metaphorically. I just ignored it at the time, then went into the nearest building and punched out a trash can in frustration.

I've had similar experiences with a couple "choice" employees at my summer lifeguarding job. One specific example was, during a storm, one of the employees (who was about 18 at the time) was bragging about how she would always sneak into bars with her older sister's (the manager at the time) ID. And the bouncer didn't care, because "all men are stupid." Normally I'd lash out with a diatribe, but I wanted to see where this was going. She then proceeded to brag about how she "never bought a drink in her life" because she was moderately attractive and "men are stupid." I heard enough and went off about how I'm not stupid and how SHE'S the stupid one for breaking the law to leech a couple drinks and that I'd NEVER buy her a drink on merits of aesthetics alone because I am not attracted to the physical beauty of women, in general. She then proceeds to tell me that I'm "no different than anyone else" and that I'd buy her and everyone who leeched off me drinks in a second. One constant with women who think they're better than me by default is that they all think they know me better than I know myself. This basically turned into a unintelligible shoutfest after that.

For the record, I doubt I'm even hitting bars when I'm 21. For one, I'm probably not attractive enough to get past the bouncers. And even if I did, I certainly wouldn't be buying random people drinks, because they're the kinds of people I have no interest in getting to know better anyways.

In conclusion, there's really two kinds of people in this world I can never get along with: People who overgeneralize others, and people who give the people who overgeneralize others a foundation for overgeneralizing others. Reverse sexists are just one specific example of this. Condescending religious nuts are another I mentioned... I guess someone like Jack Thompson falls into yet another category... Jesse Jackson (Everyone's racist against blacks. Even other blacks.) is yet another... The list is so long it would be a waste of time to type further.

On another note, a LOT of today's commercials anger me. They're either incredibly stupid, incredibly insulting (see above: a current trend is the "men are stupid" form of advertising that seems to reach out to the ever-increasing population of jilted single mothers), or just flat out annoying. Then again, I notice this trend with a lot of new movies, TV shows, "music" "artists", etc. Pop culture is just going completely down the toilet nowadays.

Come to think of it, MaxVance's assessment is looking rather accurate.

Also, I play GTA, just off the record. Just gotta love that Cheetah.

Anyway, GTA doesn't corrupt children's minds. GTA is the last thing that kids think of when hijacking a pickup on the curb of a street. They think of movies, rappers, etc.

Plus, the games shouldn't be blamed. Parents should be. They buy them, they supervise them. Their fault.

Anyway, IS, humans have a natural tendancy to do things. We got brains. We got a mouth. We got a leg to stand on. Why not say something?

But its insulting that they are overgeneralizing. Looks like the Gender War will never die out.

I'm a boy, check out the SN, and I'm not accusing ALL women for this problem. Heck, I'm not even accusing anywomen. I'm acusing the entire human race in general. there's always one thing that one person thinks that is right, and another that is wrong. Its natural. We're humans. We have thoughts, emotions, feelings. We use them. We like them. We keep them.Arguing is so likely in life, i bet there is at least a thousand people in the world arguing every second I type.

"Animal testing is bad!"

"Video games is bad!"

"Michael Jackson is bad!"

We can say al these things, and there'll be at least one guy or gal saying "No, I disapprove."

But in spirt of this topic:

I hate grapefruit. Nasty lil buggers. (Nope, not austrailian)
I hate summer bugs.
I hate summer. (Winter is better, in my opinion) Well, to some extent,I like it a bit.

My dad loves throwing around money whenever we're in Alantic City.
He would bet two hundred dollars.
he would usually lose...

Sometimes, at Christmas, we would have just a few things to have, because most money was spent at the tables.
Other times, when he doesn't gamble, we have alot of things, things I want, not just clothes.

Currently, he doesn't gamble.
Thank goodness.

My Christmas presents are safe once again.

What's really annoying me is that they are not letting me know the retail price for the revolution. All they are saying is that it will be under $300 USD. That's not enough. I guess we'll be a final price after the event next month. So, other things that drive me nuts:

~ Math
~ getting up when I don't want to
~ Gambling
~ disgusting song lyrics that kids listen to and repeat
~ Brussel Sprouts
~ 80 degree farenheit and uo days
~ my big brother
~ sounds when I have a headache
~ not being able to play the gamecube during the weekdays
~ nasty pictures
~ hurtful criticism

I hate it when I really have the urge to hear a song, but don't have any way to listen to it.  It drives me crazy. 
I also hate it when people with potential just give up all together.  It just bothers me that these people could do so much more in life, but just blow it all away on drugs or just plain laziness.  Which brings me to my next dislike,
Smoking.  There's absolutely no excuse to do it.  I don't care how crappy your life is, smoking is not going to make it any better.
Emo people who are obsessed with demonic things also bother me.
And cereal mascots, do indeed, suck eggs.  :)

I really hate when people are playing a video game without actually trying to succeed. When people just mess around in a goal-oriented game (this annoys me the most in racing games where people just go whichever way they want and don't actually try to get around the track and beat the other racers).

Boy, have I got a long list of these things, but I have already said them a million times in a million other threads, mostly my own.

Hearing about all these rape cases really stirs up my anger.  I am highly protective of all of the women that I know, even on this forum.  I don't know how I would control myself if a case like that struck close to home.  Imagine, some young woman's life forever scarred because of one sick freak who leads that lifestyle. 

Another thing is rap music.  I can't stand it, plain and simple.  Give me that old time rock and roll anyday.  Bob Seger wrote a song explaining exactly how I feel about today's music.  The only new music that I listen to is Christian music.  Those are the only kinds of songs that have a positive message these days.

I HATE (Sorry for the caps, but that's how I feel.) Illegal junk, when people make exact replicas of things like ROMs or the music on the website for Mario Compact Disco, I mean it's so tempting and it pretty much makes you a criminal, and you can feel really bad about what you did, I at one time did use ROMs, but at the time I wasn't actually looking for them, I saw Martini post one time and found a place for ROMs, and even before that I was introduced to ZSNES and the original Yoshi's Island and Super Mario Kart by a guy on another forum that would always break the rules and make people extremely mad, I was pretty freaked to know what it all was, and at the moment I had it, I was addicted, for a while too, I was downloading hacks and normal ROMs left and right, and captured my first sprite sheet, after a while I haven't touched it in a while and have put it in the recycle bin (I haven't deleted it yet though.), and don't appreciate anyone that does use them but can respect them for their ripping abilities.

Yes, I never want to touch anything like that again and will probably never even touch a ROM site again.

Ahem, sorry if I annoying the ones that use ROMs, but I felt like getting that out.

Not the emulation, but the actual replicas annoy me, custom stuff for emulators are okay for me, and downloading music is not "great evil" for me, unless it's supposed to be exclusively for the game, that would be the music just happens to be an exact replica of the games, so I don't mind if it was made from  scratch or by people listening to the original, but don't go taking everything I say offensively or be annoying just because I beleive a certain thing.

Narutards make me lose faith in humanity. Seriously, they take a few minor problems with the dub and pick at them like scabs. "ZOMGs Itachi sounds like an old man! The opening is less than 30 seconds long! Blood's been edited out! Toonami raped the series!!!". They should be grateful for how much Cartoon Network is allowing Viz to get away with rather than complain about such trivialites. Plus, they don't have it half as bad as the One Piece fans who have been totally screwed over since 2004.

Speaking of Cartoon Network, I hate what the channel's become in the last few years. Whatever happened to being "The best place for cartoons"? Now they seem more obsessed with beating Nickelodeon then airing quality cartoons both old and new. In fact, they've gone as far as airing live action movies, going against their mission statement, and have even shown interest in airing full time live action series as part of their program. I wouldn't mind this as much if they would just release all the classic Cartoon Cartoons on DVD so I don't have to watch a once great network die a slow painful death.

Also, I hate the way WWE has mismanaged Randy Orton. I can't blame the man for acting out after being forced to job to Triple H and drop the title in less then a month in his first title reign then being shafted in two consecutive Wrestlemania's. He was scheduled to beat Triple H last year for the World Heavyweight title but due to his botched face turn and Batista receiving far more fan support, he was removed and jobbed to The Undertaker instead. Then this year he was scheduled to win the title from Batista until he was injured and the match was changed to Kurt Angle vs Randy Orton vs Rey Mysterio. Then the day before the match took place Vinnie Mac decided to change the ending from Orton winning to Rey winning. Now I like Rey but what Mcmahon did to Orton was definetly messed up.

I also will forever hate that Colin Cowwhatever dude from ESPN Radio who generalized the entire wrestling fanbase then having the balls to insult Eddie Guerrero after his death, knowing people were still grieving his passing. I hope he gets fired.

I agree with you 100% in your last post, Jman. IT's a scary thing, especially when you get older, and you're female, it's even scarier because you're more conscience and you have to live with the thought that there are crazy freaks in the world ready to strike and on the loose. It scares me a lot. In the news all of the time and I have to live with the thought that it could happen to me, a loved one, anyday.

About emulation, I don't believe that it's stealing because a lot of the times, the entire games aren't even on the roms. On summer: God, I'm so glad I don't live down south because it get's HOT down there. And my friend wants me to go visit her down there this summer...

Also, all rap music doesn't have bad meanings. I mean, like 95% (okay 97) is not positive but there are some positive ones out there. I hate bad lyrics sending the wrong message, but sometimes the beats are so catchy!

In response to Chupperson's problem with goal-oriented games and seemingly lazy people, plus Insane Steve's difficulty with turned tables:

Chupperson: I often times had to be sent out of the living room while my brother played SM64 a long time ago, because he didn't do anything that seemed productive to me. It drove me up a wall.

Insane Steve: As a prospective college student, one thing that bugs me is affirmative action and similar programs. Even after being toned down in 2003, it still leaves some people at a disadvantage. I look at surveys for college information that remind us that blacks, hispanics, etc. can recieve financial assistence, then look at the "ethnicity section," and hope fervently that it has a "Prefer not to disclose" option.

Ah! Affirmative hypocrisy. Indeed. It does nothing to help anyone, at all. For non-minorities, it takes jobs and opportunies they deserve and gives them to people who may not deserve them near as much because they have a darker skin color. How completely arbitrary! Why should a black woman with extremely rich parents get a position through affirmative action when she has every advantage in the world?

On the flip side, affirmative action hurts those it helps because whenever someone in a minority succeed on his* own merits, all the non-minorites he* beat out will immediately cry out, saying that he* didn't deserve his success and it was merely plopped on his* lap through affirmative action. Ugh. In fact, a recent poll I referenced for a persuasive essay against affirmative action said that 68% of blacks disagreed with affirmative action policies, and only 30% agreed with them (2% undecided). Now, I'm not sure how skewed that question was, but I think it can be assumed that there's not THAT many supporters of it.

I think I'm going to agree with the assessment that Cartoon Network in general is going WAY downhill. During "regular" hours, it seems that only like 5 different series are ever shown, ever. And none of them are THAT good, in my mind. I remember when older cartoons were shown during these times, and now they've been shoved to some channel I'll never get due to weird cable stratifications in my region -- instead I get ill-thought out not terribly funny tripe. Bah.

Don't even get me started on Adult Swim. They completely raped that block over the last year. I can't think of a single good new series in Adult Swim over the last year, and they're almost showing nothing BUT those. And whatever happened to D-Code as the bump song? That is an awesome song.

For some reason, people who do nothing goal-oriented in a goal-oriented game irks me somehat as well, although everything I've said to this point is far more annoying to myself.

And I'm also perhaps one of the few people here who loves to gamble play poker. Sure, you lose at poker occasionally, but almost everyone is SO BAD at it that in the long run, you'll win a lot more than you lose, and it's not really gambling after a long enough period of time.

Hating someone because his* name starts with "M" is one of the most pointlessly arbitrary reasons for hating someone I've ever heard. It's almost as pointless as something like, say, skin color or family background. It annoys me when people judge each other with arbitrary characteristics that the person himself* cannot change.

*For all pronouns marked at such, I am using the masculine pronoun as an indeterminate gender pronoun because typing "his/her" is kind of long. My personal view is that the author typing the sentence use the pronoun of the same gender as the author himself* to denote someone of indeterminate gender. That is all.

Speaking of Cartoon Network, I hate what the channel's become in the last few years. Whatever happened to being "The best place for cartoons"? Now they seem more obsessed with beating Nickelodeon then airing quality cartoons both old and new. In fact, they've gone as far as airing live action movies, going against their mission statement, and have even shown interest in airing full time live action series as part of their program. I wouldn't mind this as much if they would just release all the classic Cartoon Cartoons on DVD so I don't have to watch a once great network die a slow painful death.

Whatever happened to Dexter's Lab?  That show was the best!!!  They're just getting rid of these good old cartoons like crazy, and almost every new show involves a butt-kicking protagonist who does nothing but hurts monsters.  Not to mention the animation.  It's just plain lazy.

I think it all started when Anime became popular here in the US.Not that Anime is a bad thing, but ever since then the network execs went under the assumption that American children will eat that stuff up, even though they dont know diddly squat about Anime or what makes it good.

People throw garbage all over my lawn too. True, my lawn is right next to the street, but still.... I've found a half-filled Mountain Dew bottle at least once, and all kinds of other things like napkins and food wrappers. One time I even found a large Priority Mail box that was empty and beat-up, and another time I found a broken cassette tape (I don't know how that got there).

My parents and siblings told me about something that happened to them once on a trip that I wasn't on. It's kind of humorous, but positively ridiculous all the same. They said that while they were driving, someone in another car threw a whole pizza box out the window of their car, and it got stuck under our car and was dragging along. My dad stopped the car and angrily took it out from underneath. Those people must seriously have been litterers of the lowest order. 0_o

making it impossible to use control-f to search for "stage 5-7".

The former comes out of my mouth as fluently as any other word in the English language, mainly because they have strayed so far from their original meanings that they aren't offensive in my mind. Seriously, in real life, I drop enough F-bombs to obiterate the entire hemisphere (well, if they were actual bombs). I will almost never use the latter. At all. Those actually DO offend me.

Actually, I hate the fact that Children's Educational Television as a whole has gone down the toilet. All of these shows are repetitive and some are just plain weird.

Also, you have all this "Pollitically Correct" crap where thay always have to cover every holiday, and you never hear the word 'Christmas' ever used. It's like they're trying to suck up to those who follow those religeons just so they won't feel left out.

I find it especially irritating the way that these shows seem to always have some sort of part where the character "talks" to the children watching the show. I hate that because it sort of kills the child's imagination and at the same time may make them get confused.

On top of Old Smokey
All covered in blood
I shot poor Barney
With a .44 slug
I went to his funeral
I went to his grave
Some people threw flowers
I threw a grenade
I went to his brother's house
He offered me bread (I'm not kidding, nothing to do with the Deezer/bread thing)
I said no thank you
And blew off his head

That's what we all sang in elementary school. Quite the grotesque song.

Here's something that annoys me to no end: those spells in RPGs like sleep and instant-death that sound really cool, but the only place you'd ever actually want to use them would be against bosses, so of course they don't work against bosses.  I can understand that bosses are supposed to be difficult and that letting you use instant-death spells against bosses could detract from the balance of the game, but at least be honest about it!  Let me know difinitively that the spell will never work against bosses, so I can stop getting my hopes up!  Say, in the description of the spell, "This spell doesn't work against bosses, so stop trying you naive little man."

What annoys me further is that more often that not this sort of spell doesn't even work against normal enemies.  Go figure.

I recently played through Resident Evil 4, and it was a pretty good game.  It wasn't spectacular from start to finish, but one thing I absolutely LOVED about the game was the rocket launcher.  I bought it with no specific intention, just the general feeling that it would come in handy later.  It seemed like a waste to use it against normal enemies, so for a while I just held onto it.  The next time I came to a boss, I pulled the sucker out.  I thought to myself, "no way is this going to work."  Not only did it work, it killed the boss in ONE HIT!  And it wasn't some pitiful mini-boss either, it was the real deal!  What could have been a long and painful battle was over in ten seconds!  I thought to myself, WOW!  The rocket launcher ACTUALLY WORKED, against a BOSS!  As powerful as the item was, it did NOT ruin the balance of the game in any way, because it would be prohibitively expensive (both monitarily and in terms of inventory space) to use rocket launchers against ALL bosses.  The rocket launcher effectively let me PICK MY BATTLES.  Cool-sounding spells in RPGs should work this way.  They should work against bosses but there should be some force preventing you from overusing the spells.  IMHO

Speaking of killing Barney...not really.
I recently found my old copy of Duke Nukem: Zero Hour for N64, and I must say it hasn't aged well. It might be because of the fact that the contacts are broken, rusty and dust-caked, and the cartridge itself is cracked, and the label smells like Wii (I mean, pee). And I can't play the game! Poo!
Also, I tried looking for my video camera, so I can film my new movies Dawn of the Zombies and Cyber-LepreClaw, but I realized I don't have one! I have to get my friend's!

I also hate how sometimes during races opponents appear to rapidly zig zag and dart all over the track in every direction possible, making it really annoying and frustrating.

My Grandma. I mean, I don't hate her, I just dislike how she acts now that she's living with us. You see, we believe she has Alzheimers. For example, she keeps warning me of these totally irrelevant non-sequitors ("Jimmy, don't ask your Dad for money when he gets home", "Jimmy, don't go in the war", "Jimmy, stop breathing", etc.) that I never do and constantly reminds me of them ("Jimmy, have you stopped asking for money yet?"). She also asks me to help with everything, and I'm glad to, but she always singles me out and never asks anyone else. She also has a strange obsession with cleaning the house and always insists tha I change the location of everything until it all fits together perfectly like Tetris blocks. SHe also makes bizarre jokes and laughs at them histerically when no one else does ("Jimmy, eat your rosey red dinner...hahahahahaha hohohohoho a-hehehehe. Hoo hoo...heh.") To reiterate, I don't hate her, she's just...grating.

I am offended about a certain aspect in the movie, Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World. I mean, the actors in the movie looked like hindus, not Muslims. This (http://us.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0433116/Ss/0433116/25.jpg?path=gallery&path_key=0433116) is the girl from the movie and the little jewel on her forehead is a sign of spiratuality in hinduism (but in this case it might've not been, seeing that the tika is sometimes worn as a beauty mark). Nonetheless, it offended me. No one has to answer to this.

Let me extend this into the real world.

I hate it when one person does something bad or stupid and everyone is punished for it. Ever. Like, in our college, there's STILL some immature [explitive goes here] who wrote obscene messages on the walls of one of our dorms elevators after a message was posted to stop (because there was a lot of this graffiti on the elevator when the wood panels were removed) -- the elevator was shut down for a day because of this person.

Ok, G-Dawg, I'll back you up. You know how in 8th grade the teacher divides the class in halves--the Confederacy and the Union. Unfortunately, G-Dawg and I ended up going for the South, but dodged a huge bullet as stupidison ended up in the North. So our teams have to make brochures and posters convincing the  citizens to join our army. Ours came out well, by the way, we used the Uncle Sam poster maker...
Anyway, Madison is the loud type of moron who will shout her stupid proclamations for the world to hear. "I drew a bayonet!!!" (A poorly drawn bow and arrow is seen on the paper) Later, it got worse. "Doesn't a cannon have a spring inside, and when you pull on this little spring and let go it flies out?! DUUUUH!??"

Before that, around the time of the constitution test... "What's the State of the Union address??" Teacher: "Ok, why don't we all have an assignment on it?"
@_@
I'm not lying. Some people just have a large chunk of their brain missing.

I have a very high tolerance for non-intellectual people.  They simply don't bother me.  If their brains don't click with the "knowledge" we're learning in school, that's fine.  If our teacher makes us do extra work because of a single person's confusion, I hold no grudge against that person.  If anything it's the teacher's fault.  A classmate asking obvious questions is just as okay with me as it would be for a student asking in-depth questions. 
However,
when someone smart asks an obvious question of which they already know (probably in order to appear blithe or vulnerable to the opposite sex) that tends to annoy me.  With such potential, its a shame to see a smart person start to act blonde just to woo another guy (specifically a girl in my class who dropped out of honors :-()
But, all in all, you should just try to tolerate everyone the best you can, and never start arguments.  Those go nowhere.

My first semester in college, I took a course that was STRICTLY about Abraham Lincoln for our university's Honors Program. Heh.

This Madison reminds me pretty much exactly like that girl I mentioned earlier who said I needed to die for drinking soda. She also stared in awe for about 40 seconds at two people at our lunch table because their sweaters were about a 1/4th of a shade of the spectrum away from each other. She also remarked in amazement another day that "your Jello is orange".

One other detail of note about this girl is that she was given the title of Prom Queen later that year. She was a freaking anorexic. Attractive face, but not an attractive person. AT ALL. This event was one of the key determining factors of me not going to Senior Prom the next year despite actually having a girlfriend to ask to it to the first time ever. Her reaction was one of the key determining factors in us breaking up soon after. (I.E., unfixible personality differences.)

Haven't had a girlfriend since. Ah well. C'est la vie.

Although, it enrages me, a LOT, when I see total jerks (for lack of a less offensive term) who are obviously drunk, and obviously don't care about women other than to make out with them/get in their pants stagger into a building drunk with something like 3 girls hanging from his shoulders. Honestly. What do you people see in these wastes of a human life that you don't see in someone like myself? This was probably the biggest cause of occasional periods of depression that I had in my second semester of college. I mean, almost everyone I know is dating or found someone to date when I met them, and I haven't even found someone I'd want to ask out (that isn't already with someone I respect enough to not try and ruin this relationship with.) - which is a bit frustrating.

Oh man, something awful happened to me today. I lost all my data on my DK64 cartridge! I got it used, and I never took it out of my N64 since I got it, until today. I had one completely finished file and two other ones I had gotten pretty far on, and after I took the game out today and put SM64 in, to make sure it did play when I had an expansion pack inserted into the system, I found that all the files on DK64 were EMPTY when I put it back in! This is how it happened: I was testing my duplicate N64 expansion pack to make sure it worked (I'm thinking of selling it), so I took out and put in my two expansion packs a few times. During this time I turned on DK64 a few times to see if the game worked properly after I inserted the packs. Then, after I had put the first pack back in, I tried putting SM64 in for the reason mentioned above. Then I put DK64 back in, and got a black screen when I turned it on. So I took it out and put it back in, or maybe just wiggled it. I don't remember if I had to take it out and put it in any more times to get it to work, but when I did, I found that all the files were empty. After the initial shock, I decided to see if the game would retain any new data. So I started a new file, and got the first banana, and then selected "Save" on the Pause screen. I turned the game off and turned it back on, and the files were all EMPTY again! I guess the game was already fairly old before I started playing it, and I admit that I did sometimes play for long periods, even though I don't know if that had any effect on it. I know I got WAY more than 50 hours of play out of it - maybe even 100 or more; it's just that good of a game. Fortunately, I have plenty of money right now (I'm saving up to get the new Nintendo system that I still can't get myself to say the name of), so I promptly ordered another copy off Half.com.

EDIT: Holy cow, that was long.

I hate the fact that SonicTeam has to add another mew character for every freaken mew Sonic game that comes out!! What about all the old characters like Fang the Sniper and Mighty the Armadillo!? First Shadow came along, and he was alright, but then they kept adding more and more useless characters like Cream the Rabbit, Blaze the Cat, Jet the Hawk, Wave the Swallow and Storm the Albatross, most of which are are rip-offs of already existing characters!! The worst part is that(with the exception of Cream) these characters appear ONCE and never return again!!!
Now, I hear news of a another hedgehog appearing in the new Sonic game for the 360 and another new character in Sonic Rivals on the PSP!! How big can the cast get!? The problem with these characters is that they only show up for one game and hog the spotlight throughout it, and none of the classic characters like Sonic, Tails and Knuckles get the proper billing they deserve. Man, I miss the god old Sonic vs. Eggman days. Toobad Eggman is naver the main villan anymore. He's always replaced by some other more powerful entity and ends up having to help Sonic.

Maybe I should be posting this in the HOPEFUL thread, but you can partially disregard my last post about DK64. I took out and put in the game a few more times, and guess what? MY DATA WAS BACK!!! I never heard of something like that happening before with a game. Well, that's definitely good. As for the extra copy of the game I ordered, unnecessarily as it turns out, I can just sell it to my friend; I've been encouraging him to get the game anyway, since he has a N64 and enjoys SM64, and so will probably like DK64 also.

See, this goes back to my first complain about rape cases.  When most guys get drunk, they are not in their right mind.  Which is why stuff like that hap[pens.

I hate the fact that my L button on my DS broke just 1 month before the release of Metroid Prime Hunters. Now I'll probably have to get another DS just because of this. Oh well, at least the DS lite is not too far away.

I also hate how my parents keep putting me off on paying the money that they owe me. My mom took about $200 from my savings account last year and still hasn't paid it back. My dad also owes me like $300 for all this mechanic work I've been doing for him since last August. They're seriously getting in the way of me getting all the games I was planning to get.

Well Im sorry for the word "wierd" but It tares at my self-esteem every time I think about the fact that I haven't ever had a girlfried, and I have been rejected by 4 girls already. To make it worse the girl I liked the most said I was "wierd" and made fun of me with her friends. Yet another completely ignored all my calls. I feel so alone. ;_;

You want to know my complaint about rape cases?

In today's society, college-age males have absolutely no rights in the court of law; that is, everything they say in their own defense is merely disparaged by ANY judge or jury.

See where I'm going? If a girl wants revenge for a break-up, phony rape allegation! This has been done successfully SEVERAL times in the past.

Which is why I've making any future girlfriends I might have (maybe?) sign a contract of consent before any sort of activity which could lead to a rape charge. Ridiculous? Yes. Society is even more ridiculous.

Although, I do have an alternative plan which doesn't require a contract. It isn't 100% foolproof, but if it does fail, it'll be proof positive of just how incredibly irrational today's courts really are. Not going into details of that one.

Wow. I'm sorry to hear about that, man.

I'm 19 and I've never dated anyone (I've never asked anyone out). That's partly because I don't know that many people outside my own family well, and partly because I don't feel mature enough to date anyone.

Way too many girls in this world qualify as "complete jerks" in ths case. I also like how vandalism because instantly legal after a break-up. For example, I had a substitute teacher for my 12th grade literature class who, during study hall, demanding the boys sit on one side of the room and the girls on the other. She then proceeds to brag about how she scratched up her ex's car because he did something meaningless that any human being with any sort of life might accidently do someday. I forgot what it was. She then proceeds to tell the boys in the class that they're inferior to women, and that they deserve to be treated like sub-human creatures -- which the girls just adore (I WONDER WHY I DON'T DATE)... worst part about it was that I was the only person in the room who tried to prove her wrong. As in, I was the only person who, to her face, said that what she did was morally wrong and against the law. We discussed it after class, where she used circular logic to tell me, flat out, that I was wrong, and just would not listen to anything I said. I explained this to the administration and I don't thing anything was done. Ergo, vandalism after a break-up is PERFECTALLY ACCEPTABLE TO SOCIETY.

I have similar problems as smfan, although I do consider myself mature enough to date, looking at other people who consider themselves mature enough to date. By that standard, smfan, you're also probably mature enough to date.

I've never asked anyone out, but I have been asked out, once, in high school. The result was described earlier in this thread.

Okay, i've got a story...

When we came back from the Phillipines, we had to ride an airplane.
(Duh, we went across half the world)
Our longest flight was the one from Nagoya, Japan, to Detroit, lasting well more than 10 hours. The airplane movie, Fun With Dick and Jane was over, and mostly everyone was asleep. I as thirsty, so I called the stewerdess. A rather large one came up to me and asked with a gruff voice, iwith a hint of annoyedness, "What the heck do you want?" I told her I needed a coke. She grumpily went to the place where all foods are sored, made some rude moaning sounds, came back, and slammed the can on my little mini-table. The can was opened, so the coke flew in all directions, including my new shirt. She didn't even bother to ask me if I needed a tissue.
Grr...At least Hoodwinked was soon after.

Also, a little story i have to share. No angst. No maddness. just an odd little memory that might make somebody mad. For me, it was actually funny.
Forth grade. Playground. 12:30.
A group of new kids were asking for help on the faces and places of the school.
"Don't ever, ever, bother the Carla group". I pointed to a group of girls that were chatting on the blacktop.
*shivers*The Carla group. Led by Carla, the group was feared for their deadly actions, their ideas, their ways of tormenting prisoners, and, *gulp*, their freakishly small mini-skirts.
One of their generals have noticed my action, and informed Carla, who had barked orders to give chase. I noticed them moving at me. Yipe. They captured my poor self, and tied me under the slide with their sweaters. The boys group, The Revolutions, had noticed me soon after, and declared war on the Carla group, since I was Head of War Tactics and Veteran Spy (i had big, but strangely, silent feet, and I could sneak around like Sam Fischer)
The war lasted for seven days, which we properly dubbed "The Seven Day War", and ended with me and my men, 21 in all, tied to trees, poles, and other long, vertical objects. i got the Royal Treatment, as i was tied to upside down.
I think i hate all-girl school gangs, and being tied upside down.

Well, last night I went out and had a good time watching WWE SmackDown at the iPayOne center.

Then I woke up this morning feeling like crap. I literally had trouble walking to classes today and I could not stand still. My body felt entirely fatigued from my feet up and I had a massive headache. Now normally I would've told my mom I couldn't go to school today because I could just about collapse anywhere but our post production presentation was today and I was not going to let my team down. So I arrive early to import our iMovie for our presentation since it was immediately at 8: 30 but then I found out it was already on another tape. So then we just went to the conference room to present but one of our team members (who did absolutely nothing the whole project) was abent so we had to reassign some roles. It went pretty decently though I'm sure we didn't get anything above a C. I still feel like garbage though, and I hope this fatigue passes by quickly.

Geez, what girls are you guys meeting? Are girls in the east coast or mid America different from the girls here in the west coast? I have never met girls like the ones you guys meet. Then again I don't communicate much with girls. They don't understand what I mean when I say stuff like "Wii", "Justice League" or "Workrate".

I have another story of which I feel obliged to tell you, as it would really help me fee better talking about it...
      In about the third grade. Ahh.. the third grade. Where girls capture little boys and make them act like pets. I seem to be a favorite at the school boy army, as in the third grade, i was Chief of Alpha team. One of our members was found missing every recess. Strange, we seem him at lunch. He always seemed sad...
I ordered my team to sneak into the backwoods of the soccer field, where no one except there girls go to. When we went up to the edge, we heard screams, moans, and cries for help. The misssing person was, without a doubt, in there with them. My team flew back, and retreated back to the place where they called HQ. Sadly, they never made it. They were captured by the early Carla group. Not too strong, but they were strong enough. (Eventually, the Carla group absorbed most of the Pet-Pet Group. The group was virtually gone by the end of the year. The Carla group still remains)
It was just up to me. Little old me. I desperatly wanted HQ, but, as of now, its a lose-lose situation. I braved the forest, and was shoced at what I saw...

"No, stop!Get me off of this leash!" cried my fellow friend. All of the missing people, not just ours, were tied up to trees with leashes, and were forced to learn pet tricks. I was serious close to the action, almost too close. I got out my safety-scizors and charged...

I failed. Miserably. I planed to charge up to my friend, cut up the leash, run away, evade the Carla group, and sip nice cold choco-milk at lunch tomorrow.
Instead, what really happened was that everyone but me was released. They tied me up, using their favored "Friend Leash", which was horrendouslly covered in pink and hearts, and, Powerpuff Girls stickers.
They tormented me in any possible way a third grade girl could dream of. Calling me Futzie-Wuzzle, making me beg, sing the songs they made me sing, and, almost put on make-up! Luckily, the whole strike force was there at my impending doom. 40 boys stormed in, and what I saw on my leash seemed like a Lord of the Rings movie, iwth all kinds of sound effects. This time, though, we won!
The group was too weak to continue operations, as we had stolen their leashes, and, later, thrown it over the fence where "Mr. Face", was there, a a freakishly large lab dog.
But, eventually, the force spilt up, as we concluded that continuing so would be dangerous.

And the ANGST?
The pink collar.

About an hour ago, I had a girl I'd never seen or heard of before call me and claim that I had gotten her pregnant sometime during finals week at college.

It took over a half hour for me to figure out that it was one of my ex-girlfriend's best friends playing a joke on me. Because, to a college-age male who firmly believes that he has no rights whatsoever in the court of law in cases regarding rape or pregnancy, making up a phony pregnancy claim is ABSOLUTELY FREAKING HILARIOUS!

I beleive those writers are usually female, and are most likely fans of a certain genre of anime called Yaoi, which involves gay love. They have a habit of divising crazy guy/guy fan-pairings in some animes(like Naruto/Sasuke). This part of why I think the Sonic series has dying. It seems to have attracted insane anime fans like these, even though Sonic never used to be an anime character.

As a continuation to rubberducky's rant, I hate how today's "musicians" are judged solely on appearance, and not on useless things such as how well they sing. I mean, apparantly all you have to do to be a pop star nowadays is look "good" (By good, I mean superficially good. After 13423 hours of makeup) and lip synch with some degree of accuracy.

And the people who write lyrics for popular music nowadays need to be replaced by a more talented group. I'd recommend a large collection of monkeys pounding keys on typewriters.

That wasn't the point. There's millions of people who drive their cars poorly. But when Brittney Spears does it, it's freaking front page news for some reason. THAT is what's unnerving to me. I mean, surely there's something more important going on in the world? I heard there was a war going on somewhere in the Middle East. Or something like that.

I just bought Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for PC.  It runs at 25 fps on the lowest possible settings.  And I have SLI!! !  I'm not going to pay $600 for a new graphics card just for one game.  I uninstalled it and buried the box in my closet.  Maybe I'll be able to properly enjoy in about five years when I can afford to upgrade my computer.

I agree that LD calling you retarded was quite unnecessary, and the remark may even count as flaming itself, but... well, it would certainly make you look better to bear it patiently, and the fact that he's a moderator could make any trouble you might get in more serious. So as I say, I don't want to offend you, but it would probably be a lot better if you edited your post.

There's this coffee stand that I go to a lot on campus and two people work there at a time, one taking orders and doing some initial prep stuff while the other makes the bulk of the drinks. The first person always asks if you want whipped cream and then tells the second person what you wanted every time. However, the second person always asks you if you want whipped cream, too, seemingly never listening to the first person, ever. The strangest thing about this situation is that it happens no matter who the workers are.

I hate it when you have a little sibling invite a bunch of his/her friends over...and they annoy you TO DEATH!!! As in my brother's birthday party.

Story:

It started off fine...me and my friend were filling up waterballoons for the waterballoon war...that's where it started. A good majority come and start going out of control with the balloons...at that time the third member of our group, my cousin, arrived to help too. As they were going crazy my friend decides to spray them down with the hose...bad idea. They turn on us and start throwing waterballoons and shooting waterguns at us. We retreat to the front yard where they have suicidal shooters come at us. I tackle one and take the gun away, and he goes nuts. We go around the house and start chucking dirt clauds into the backyard and listening to the cries of pain. They come out of the back gate and start throwing FULL cans of soda at us and making them explode. We retreat to the house and go inside through the front door. We grab airsoft guns and start shooting the crap out of them. My dad comes out and takes our only weapons away, so decide to go into their base, the backyard. They had a giant pool where they would fill up their guns, and we decide to use it against them. We start picking them up and dropping them into it...it was pretty fun. But by then we angered them so much that they start using their fists and we were forced to retreat again. We find a spot where they were secretly making more balloons and make some of our own. They ambushed us and were forced back into the backyard...they had the whole house surrounded. Anyways my dad finally comes and stops and as we're in the front settling down they come back to annoy us. We resist the temptation and start playing ping-pong and darts.

So anyway...I hate annoying little sixth graders!

Just because things are being used for reasons they weren't "intended" for doesn't automatically make them wrong. Homosexuality is just a slightly more extreme than usual example of this.

It's also possible to argue that it's natural.  I had a homosexual dog.  That's all I'm saying about that, but homosexual behavior in nature has been documented.

Just because some animals have homosexual tendencies doesn't make those tendencies natural. Your argument suggests that any abnormality found in animals, no matter how useless or harmful it is, is "natural" and that therefore there is nothing wrong with it.

That's funny, because, ya know, if it were unnatural, why do people and other organisms display homosexual behavior even if it can't result in reproduction?

Just because things are being used for reasons they weren't "intended" for doesn't automatically make them wrong. Homosexuality is just a slightly more extreme than usual example of this.

So you think that no mental illnesses are "unnatural", then? People certainly display those, and animals do too (like dogs with apparently hereditary aggression problems; my family recently had one like that, I think).

I don't know if you read the later parts of the article, after the "homosexuality is unnatural" section, but there are plenty of reasons to consider homosexuality a bad thing. Just look at the statistics lower down.

Not everything used for reasons it wasn't intended for is wrong, but the area of human sexuality is different from other areas, since the natural purpose of sex is to create new human life. Therefore, it is a far more important matter than, say, what tools should be used for what purposes in fixing a car. But of course, if you don't consider human life sacred, I don't know if I can argue this with you.



Sorry to hear about that, neotev.

You compare homosexuality to mental disorders. You claim that, because mental disorders are "unnatural" -- homosexuality, by the same logic, is also "unnatural". The only way to make this leap is to assume that all abnormalities in human behavior are unnatural.

Post by: smfan1085 on June 03, 2006, 07:28:53 PM
What I said was that you appeared to be saying, "Homosexuality is found in nature, among people and among animals. Therefore it is natural." Various types of mental illnesses also occur in nature, among people and among animals. So it would seem that, judging from that particular argument, you would believe that all mental illnesses are natural. My point was that the mere fact that something is in nature and occurs among people and animals doesn't automatically make it not unnatural or "wrong". Note that I'm not talking about moral wrongness in this context (though I do believe homosexuality is morally wrong), but rather about wrongness as in "There's something wrong with him."

Homosexuality, it should be noted, was classified as a mental disorder right up until the time when people decided to rebel against traditional morality (coincidence?). If you don't consider homosexuality a mental disorder, then what do you consider it? A normal condition, just as normal as heterosexuality, never mind the fact that heterosexuality is actually productive?

Heh, the only sports team I've ever been on was the bowling team (yes, I consider it a sport), and I joined because I love bowling and being able to do it every Saturday at the cost of sleeping and $5 a week is a pretty freakin' good deal. Teams can hold 1-3 people. At times we were like "Daaang, we suck," and "What was that?!

One year I was on a team that lost EVERY! game! We were Horrible!

Sounds exactly like our team except we've tied twice. Record: 0-8-2. Not to brag, but I'm like the best person on our team and I average like 1-2 errors a game...that's how much we suck.

Just because it's not normal doesn't automatically make it wrong.

Let people act however they want to. Sheesh. What gives people the right to declare themselves so morally superior as to tell people that what they do is right or wrong? Come on now. Homosexuality, while not productive in the way you describe it, is also not counterproductive. Or, at least, it wouldn't be if society weren't so closed-minded about it.

"Just because it's not normal doesn't automatically make it wrong."

It's not merely abnormal. It's essentially a mockery of the procreative process. This may not seem important to you, but I think I can speak for all traditional-minded people when I say that I consider it a slap in the face of nature.

"Let people act however they want to. Sheesh."

Yeah, sure, let's let people do whatever the heck they want! What does it matter if morality will completely collapse? Self-gratification comes before all! [/obvious sarcasm]

Honestly, if you get angry when people think atheists don't have morals, then you should refrain from saying such audacious things.

"What gives people the right to declare themselves so morally superior as to tell people that what they do is right or wrong? Come on now."

So I guess you can't tell a murderer that what he does is wrong, since you would have no right to declare yourself morally superior over him. Right.

"Homosexuality, while not productive in the way you describe it, is also not counterproductive. Or, at least, it wouldn't be if society weren't so closed-minded about it."

Homosexuality is indeed counterproductive. Have you still not looked at the statistics down below?


I vote that this argument end. It's going nowhere; I can tell that much. If you continue, however, I shall be compelled to do the same.

Yea. Arguments about things like this on the internet never get anywhere. Really. When's the last time you ever saw anyone change their viewpoint about any religious/political belief on the internet? Ever?

You're too traditional to change your viewpoint; I'm too hyper-progressive to change mine. So... ya.

Homosexuality may not be natral, but it may be a solution to other bad things. If homosexuals were allowed to marry or be together without being ridiculed, then maybe the population would start to decline(homosexuals can't have children) and those homosexuals would adopt kids that had no guardians, Also, most of the things humans do is unnatural. Electronic technology, obesity, medical care, and other things may be good(some anyway) but they are a slap in the face to nature, since this inbreeding of bad traits makes us a weaker species and brings us nearer to extinction.

I bet you'd get crazy amounts of results just by putting the specific episodes' names in YouTube. Seriously, people, you can basically watch anything ever shown on TV on YouTube (http://youtube.com).

So he walks by and normally I wouldn't say it, but I mock him and say...the word. So he comes at me and starts hitting me.

Mmmm, my brother has been beyond annoying this whole week. He's been anticipating the DS Lite since last April and kept track of the days until it was released. He was highly disappointed when my mom told him she can't afford it right now because she still hasn't received her paycheck. Instead of accepting this fact though, he became persistant, annoying and idiotic. He acts like he's having a seizure whenever he sees a commerical for the DS Lite (which is practically every time we're watching TV), he pretends it doesn't exist, he asks every day if either my mom or I have been paid yet and then he showed us a "Letter" from "Nintendo" that said the DS Lite is a cruel, sick joke and they only did it to show how much they hate him. In reality, it was just something he handwrote at school, though it was pretty obvious from when he first handed it to us. He's so spoiled he even went on an unsuccesful hunger strike to get my mom to cave and buy him the DS Lite. He doesn't even need it much considering in our household, we have 3 DS's. I really don't care if he has a mild case of Asperger's syndrome, it's still no excuse to act this immature, spoiled and dumb.

A note about "had to be there":

"Guess you had to be there" is not something you say after your own story. It is what you say after you tell your story and no one laughs. It means, "That story was not funny, but it seemed funny at the time." Writing it at the end of your story means, "This story is not funny."

It's a series a couple months of little things with no positives at all to search for:

Today, I went to work (I work as a lifeguard at our town's public pool), and I was on stand on top of one of the waterslides. A few of the off-duty guards, one of who, I absolutely cannot stand whatsoever, took it upon themselves to constantly act like total jerks and break practically every pool rule going down the slide. Including stealing my guard tube and trying to slide down on it. Note that there's about a dozen children on the slide watching this.

So, after about 15 minutes of this crap, they all finally decide to go down the slide, all at once, which is really dangerous and against pool rules, obviously. I had it with them, and I shouted, about as loud as I could, "I HATE ALL OF YOU!" and flung my visor off the top of the slide in anger.

Oh, it turned out the superintendent of the town's parks and recreation department was there to hear me scream this at these off-duty guards. And I scared just about every child on the slide at the time I was there. I wound up getting a written reprimand because these complete idiots guards drove me to shout at them. And this may seriously jeopardize any chance I have of getting re-hired, becuase, you know, the superintendent was there. Granted, the guards that acted like this were treated similarly, but still. These people KNEW I was getting fed up with them, and persisted anyways until I did something serious enough to warrant disciplinary action. And then they walk up to me about 5 minutes after I tried to explain this to the manager and superintendent, and apologise like nothing happened. Screw them.

This crap happens all the time to me. Every single time I do anything good, it gets minimised to nothing. All my bad traits are immensely amplified until people start to notice and think I'm a bad person. I'm absolutely sick of this. All of it.

I wish it were 5 years from now, because adolescence so far has absolutely no redeeming features whatsoever for me. I mean, things like this are petty compared to what a lot of people go through, but I was cursed with an obscenely short fuse when dealing with hardship or other people.

I just discovered that I can unlock stuff in Advance Wars: Dual Strike by inserting the GBA Advance Wars 1 & 2 cartridges into the DS.  Of course, I don't have either of the old cartidges, having traded them in at EB Games when the new Wars games game out.  I'm furious.  I intentionally go out of my way to avoid any games that work in conjunction with other games, except in rare cases when I would naturally own both games anyway (e.g. Metroid Prime/Metroid Fusion).  I can no longer enjoy Advance Wars: Dual Strike, because I will always know that my game can never be complete.  The Wars series is dead to me now.  I'm going to trade in Advance Wars: Dual Strike at EB Games tomorrow out of spite.

I just discovered that I can unlock stuff in Advance Wars: Dual Strike by inserting the GBA Advance Wars 1 & 2 cartridges into the DS.  Of course, I don't have either of the old cartidges, having traded them in at EB Games when the new Wars games game out.  I'm furious.  I intentionally go out of my way to avoid any games that work in conjunction with other games, except in rare cases when I would naturally own both games anyway (e.g. Metroid Prime/Metroid Fusion).  I can no longer enjoy Advance Wars: Dual Strike, because I will always know that my game can never be complete.  The Wars series is dead to me now.  I'm going to trade in Advance Wars: Dual Strike at EB Games tomorrow out of spite.

You sir, are now dead to me. Good day. I said good day!

I come from afar, from the HOPEFUL thread. I was happy about the mp3 player I purchased, but the price of shipping is awful for the item! ($8 for an item that would cost $2-3 based on how they ship it normally--on weight). Plus, it's shipping from CA. by USPS, not UPS. That means it will take forever to get here (in Ohio). >XO

It would be painful, though, seeing all of your friends and family die off, knowing that you'll never see them in the afterlife. Plus... you'd get even lonlier due to the fact that you'd be bed-ridden, fragile and old. Sounds like a pretty morbid lifestyle to me.

I don't think living forever implies "bed-ridden, fragile".  "Old", yeah, that's redundant.  If someone or one(s) were to live forever I'd guess that their bodies would be self repairing or that they wouldn't need bodies anymore.  Read some of Ray Kurzweil's writings for more info.  I suggest Fantastic Voyage (http://www.fantastic-voyage.net/).

My DSL slows down when it is hot out and breaks down more often then when it is winter time.  If would like to complain about the stupid ban on big air fireworks in some states!  People forget that those kinds of fireworks explode in the air where nothing can catch fire.  They should really ban ground fireworks.  Nobody on my street listens to that ban anyway.  Last  year almost every house had illegal fireworks!
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: BP on July 03, 2006, 11:48:04 AM
Ah, we've got that ban too. It sucks, this is probably the first time we're spending the fourth at my house, and I always used to wonder "why don't we ever use good fireworks?" and I was excited that this year it'd be our responsibility to provide them... but now I know they're not legal. Probably because of all those stupid gangstas in that dirty nasty community down the road... Like, for a while there was this ice cream truck by the side of a building and it had graffiti all over it and the windows were broken. Now it's gone but the wall looks much worse now. Gangsters ruin everything. Six Flags is even going to close Magic Mountain and Hurricane Harbor (sorry to tell you, G-Dawg) because they've had too many problems with those stupid people. They're offering to sell it to anyone who wants to keep it running (best-case scenario) or to someone who will take all the rides and stuff out and do whatever with it (not best-case scenario) or if no one will buy it they'll just close it  (worst-case scenario. It'd suck to see all that beautifully-arranged metal to just sit there and do nothing...). I asked my mom "Hey, why don't we buy it? It'd be the best thing ever." And she said "Uhh, you have a billion dollars?" I wish we'd win the lottery. My dad always says "We're gonna WIN" when he gets a ticket, but it never happens. Does it ever happen to anyone? Ever? What if no one buys the winning ticket? What if there's a printing mistake and a hundred people win? I never win anything. Except Mario games. Oh wai, I just lied. One time everyone got tickets for some drawing and I won a CD player. My dad took it to work and claims he uses it every day. And one time I won a drawing at the bowling alley and got a free $15 Target gift card. That went towards NSMB. Anyway... um... I wonder if anyone reads posts ths long...

I never understood bans on fireworks, personally. Most of the people getting hurt by them... come on. "Hey, let's see what happens if we shoot the bottle rocket at John's face! Duhhuhuhuhuhh!"

In other pointless ban news...

Hey, guys, I saw a news story that many legislators are proposing a ban on ALUMINUM BASEBALL BATS. This is incredibly ridiculous. So, the ball travels, what, 10 MPH faster off of a metal bat and maybe 3 more children per decade get killed by line drives. Except the velocity isn't the problem here so much as WHERE the baseball hits you. Or, we pass this ridiculous ban, thousands of kids leave baseball (because they're too small to properly handle heavy wooden bats), don't get active, and die of obesity-related problems in early adulthood as a result. Seriously. It's like our government WANTS society to go down the crapper.

As for angstiness, well my watch is breaking down. It works perfectly fine, but the strap is going to break sooner or later. In fact, it's only connected by about 3 strings. Um, my issue of Nintendo Power has not arrived and it should've been here 2 weeks ago. I've also taken count of my GBA games and I've dicovered I'm missing 3 games. I've already tried searching for them, but I couldn't find them. Lastly, I feel bad for RVD and Sabu. Being caught with drugs by the police is bad enough, but facing the possibility of being fired, stripped of the title, or buried in the undercard will probably be just as bad.

Yeah, that's about it.

Man. I got something to complain about. I had a concussion about a week or two ago. Me and my friends were wrestling and somehow I flung out of a headlock and hit the back of my head on my friends knee really hard. I couldn't remember much, but I went to the hospital in an ambulance, and I was fine the next day after that. I forgot a whole lot of stuff, though. I was talking to my friend afterwards, and I seriously forgot her last name even though I spent a lot of my time with her. She almost slapped me when I asked her what he last name was. :P

I am currently filled with ANGST because I went looking for the "Song that never dies" thread and came across a thread in the Story Board with a fanfic I read years ago called "Quest for Destiny". It was the greatest thing I ever read(better than "The Prophecy"), and at the time of said reading the fanfic wasn't even half-finished. The thread I found had link to the fanfic on FanFiction.net but all I got was a "404 File Not Found", which probably means the fanfic has been wiped off the Fanfiction.net database and quite possibly the whole web. This sorta thing happens to me alot. Sites like Nintendo Writer's Paradise and Ninsprites want down as soon as I discovered their exsistance. This ****es me off because I never realized how awesome the internet was until it was too late. I once planned to join the IGN Boards(Sonic and Mario to be exact), but by the time I was old enough, all the intellegent posters left and the place became riddled with spam. The only place I had left was here, The Fungi Forums, so thta's why I joined when I did. I really hate being late, as this may have led you to believe, so that's my ANGST for now.

Expanding on G-Dawg's post...

Why do authority figures (most frequently people running public schools) nowadays feel that the only way to discpline one individual's transgressions is to punish an entire group of people, all but one of which had absolutely nothing to do with anything? Do we nuke entire towns when one person murders somebody because "the entire town needs to be taught a lesson?" NO. All these people are doing is fomenting resentment against the individuals involved, and absolutely nothing positive is actually accomplished. It's a horrible system that needs to be stopped but probably won't be.

Whenever one of my teachers punished the whole class like that, it was usually because the person who misbehaved or whatever had to be a total pansy and not speak up about what they did. The teacher unfortunatly had no other solution at the time, so in a case like that, I blame the student. It makes me angry to no end whenever one of my fellow students chooses to follow the path of dishonesty in such a manner. Otherwise I agree with you, IS.

I hate teachers that are stupid in general. My art teacher, Mr. Vatcher, said "This week you were the best 8th grade class." The next week "You guys know that you are one of the worst classes I have, don't you?" He is a complete retard. He didn't even teach us art, he'd tell us to draw something the way he does and if you didn't get it right...you failed. I'm glad I'm never going to be in his class again.

I agree. Seems to me that they think it's too hard (and/or time consuming) to punish a single person.

Whenever one of my teachers punished the whole class like that, it was usually because the person who misbehaved or whatever had to be a total pansy and not speak up about what they did. The teacher unfortunatly had no other solution at the time, so in a case like that, I blame the student. It makes me angry to no end whenever one of my fellow students chooses to follow the path of dishonesty in such a manner. Otherwise I agree with you, IS.
In such a case like that, it almost seems that the teacher thinks that we all know who did something and that we will "punish" that person ourselves. I really hate that.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/space/20060706/sc_space/globalwarmingfuelsusforestfires

While increased temperatures would make dryer forrests which woulld be more likely to burn when struck by lightning, I think other human policies are more to blaim for forrest fires than global warming is.  I'm not saying global warming isn't happening.  It is.

I think the big problem is that we put out fires.  Yes, putting out fires causes forrest fires.  When growing up in Mississippi we would start fires in our pine grooves to burn off the dry dead under brush.  These fires would not burn the trees themselves, but removed the fuel from under them.  If we did not burn the under brush fuel periodicly a fire there would have more fuel, burn hotter and higher and therefor burn all our pine trees as well.

So, a buildup up of underbrush and a dry windy climate leads to forrest fires, but if the underbrush is kept in check then a dry windy climate would be less likely to cause forrest fires.

Edit:  The above is not a catfish story.

Mr. Vatcher also seriously thought he had the inability to be wrong. Whenever he would hear something at all, and sometimes when he wouldn't, he'd give my friend a warning. He kept him after class once and we were told he said "I'm the teacher. You're wrong. Go." And one time, he directly told me, alone, "I can't be the worst of all your teachers." And no matter how good or bad my things were, I'm always get a 23/25. It's like, he has an opinion on every student he has and he will beat you to death with that opinion if it's a negative one.

But... I DID draw a pretty neat watercolor-pencil landscape of Peasantry, complete with Kerrek tracks... Why did I never scan that?

I agree with those who resent that "punish the whole group for one person's doing" mentality. Although it did seem effective for all my classes last year except for my Chemistry class. But then again my chemistry teacher didn't really know how to control a class. As for the other classes, since I was generally considered one of the good kids, I got special treament, so it more than made up for the punishment  ;D.

Man, I so miss my Art and English teachers. They knew the smart kids from the dumb kids and they had a deadpan, sarcastic sense of humor, which automatically makes them awesome in my book.

That's true. I think it is actually a little of both.

My school was supposedly going to send out a Summer Reading Project, but I never got one. So, my dad e-mails one of the staff members for the list. And as far as I know, no one got the list, and I will be the only one doing a useless reading project over summer. What's the point of Summer Break if we still have to do school work? It's a break from school, not a big, long break to do school work. It's not like we're going to forget how to read over the summer!

I have many things to complain about here. 1: I just found out that I am going to have my braces on another 2-3 months, because my wisdom teeth grew in late. (I was supposed to get them off this month or the next.) 2: We won our first baseball game 18-1. You would think that I would be happy...well it didn't work out as good in the second game. By the 5th inning we were down 10-4. We gradually climbed back up to 10-7. It was the bottom of the 7th...we needed at least 3 runs. I started off with a walk, then a base-hit, I stole to 3rd, another base hit, score 10-8. Next 2 guys walked, 10-9, we have bases loaded no outs and only one run to go. Think I should be happy again huh, well I was...for awhile. Someone pops up, 1 out, next play...double-play games over. Final score: 10-9. :( (Now we need to win tonight, and beat that same team twice in a row to win the tourny.) :'(

Anime-spin offs that are made in ze land of ze French like Totally Spies. If you want a GOOD show with female protagonists, even dubbed Sailor Moon is better, and I haven't even seen it! (Because I'm a guy and SM is for girls and not boys)

The ANGST is strong with this one.

I saw exactly one episode of Totally Spies. For about the first 15 minutes, I was trying to figure out exactly why that show is still on the air. Within the next five minutes, I suddenly figured out EXACTLY why it is still on the air. Don't really feel like explaining it better than that.

So my dad got home from work today. For about the last year or so, he's be getting more and more stressed out over work. Today I found out that his company is hiring immigrants that cannot speak English even remotely fluently. These people are also running expensive machinery and some of them CANNOT COUNT. And my dad has to work with these people somehow. I absolutely hate seeing him they way he is when he gets home from work every day. And, despite having worked for the company for over 20 years, because they recently sold to a different manufacturer, he may not be receiving a pension when he retires, although he was promised one when he was hired. He deserves so much better after all he's done for me. Really.

Post by: CoconutMikeNIke on July 14, 2006, 03:31:05 AM
I have completely lost hope in women.  I shouldn't, but I can't help myself...I am completely furious.  Let us start from the beginning.

I have a great friend.  He's like a brother to me, and that's pretty big, since I'm not much of a people person, to feel like this guy is family.  I can't always agree with him, especially how he handles women, but I'll stick by him.  He's actually family to my whole family.  September 28, his girlfriend gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, named Josh, and I love him.  Then Steve, my friend, and his girlfriend, Ashley, broke up.  This was only after she found out he was going out with another girl from our school, and she didn't know since she was out to take care of the child.  When Ashley did get back into school, both of the women broke up with him.  Of course, they were still having sex, cause, well, he's horny all the time, and they were living together (to take care of the baby).  It's the convenience factor.  I guess she finally got sick of him, and stopped everything.  The  three of us continued to hang out.  After a while, Ash told me she was attracted to me.  I was wary, as 1) She's my best friends Ex and mother of his child, and 2) This would be the first woman ever interested in me...ever.  I told her that I couldn't, and she was alright with that.  But after a few months, I got to know her, and I became attracted back.  We didn't do anything because Steve would have killed us (He can cheat, but when they break up, she can't do anything with anyone...I don't get it).  But we flirted and I did tell her I liked her.

Steves parents are divorced (or never married...I don't know, their entire family tree needs 4 apple orchards, it's confusing), and his mother lives in Florida, so every other Christmas and for the summer, he goes down there.  Last Friday Steve left for where his mother was staying, and they were leaving on Saturday.  Friday, when Steve, Ash, and Steves brother, left after a quick good-bye, I went on my way.  Ashley came back about 15 minutes later.  After some time of awkwardness, we kissed.  This was my first kiss.  So until about 10pm, we were playing video games and kissing.  We made plans to meet the next day at the mall, around 4:30.  We said that we weren't really together, since it would never really work, and Steve would literally kill us (Not to mention my mother, who didn't think too highly of Ashley)if he knew.  But I was still estatic. 

The next day came, and I was ready to meet up with her.  That was, until about 3:30, when my sisters boyfriend called me up, and asked if I would work with him (He works for one of his professors at college doing a phone poll).  I want to say that I had to, but I think it was the idea of $65 for 4 hours of work that really made me decide to go.  In retrospec, I should have said no.  But I didn't want to just leave Ashley sitting in the mall waiting for me, so I asked when Chris came to pick me up to swing by her house, and tell her I couldn't make it.  Her door was locked, and we were already running late, so I forced the thought that I could make up with her later, and she wouldn't be too angry with me.  The next day I tried to get in contact, but she must have been at her parents house, on the other side of the city, and just left a note.  For the next 4 days when she didn't come by my house, I was feeling more and more guilty.  I continuously thought that I truly screwed up my first possible relationship with someone I really liked.  I bought a little white tiger plush (her favorite animal) to try and make up, and I was ready to grovel.  Finally she came today (well, yesterday by now) and I started to ask for forgiveness leaving her hanging at the mall alone, but she said I shouldn't, that it didn't matter since we weren't actually together, and it was okay.  I still felt guilty, which is probably why I didn't notice things that seemed wierd, mostly little things that she did, such as look at me out of the corner of her eye then smiling, or even look at me at all.  A little later, Steves brother came over and after using my computer, started talking to Ashley about something.  I didn't really know cause they were talking about her family, which I don't know, and that they didn't want me to know something.  When I directly asked what they were talking about (something about a rumor that spread through her parents building, about someone not allowed in the house anymore, all kinda confusing), Steves brother said he couldn't say, but that Ashley did something with someone.  My mind took it and ran.  I pretty much figured she had slept with someone, and it ****ed me off.  They left around 6, and I had to help my mother move things for a garage sale, so I had to go over to my aunts and help.  For the whole day I went from mad to just confused, since I still didn't know for sure what she had done.  When I finally got home around ten, I got online and started talking to Steve, mostly about how boring Florida is.  Somehow we got on the subject of Ashley, and I told him about how we kissed.  I explained how I really liked her, but was really kinda scared as to what she had done.  I know he knew, since when Ashley was over, her and Jonny(Steves brother) were talking about him and how he reacted.  He wouldn't tell me, but when I told him what I did, he said she had, like I thought, slept with some guy...Saturday.  I was furious.  I knew I had screwed up, but I didn't think she would be so angry at me as to go to some other guy NOT EVEN A DAY LATER.  I know that we weren't actually together, but I could never had imagined she would have done it.  Then Steve told me that they had sex before they came over on friday.  Spots...I was seeing spots.  Though her and Steve had been on and off in their relationship for a while, about Mid-May, she told me she completely cut him off, broken up, and no more sex.  So this really hurt.  Steve wasn't too angry at me, mostly at her.  He was just glad that I told him.  We were talking for a while about what I did, then what she had told him over the phone about what she did.  Then he told me that it is a possibility that the guy she screwed had HIV.  I don't care how angry I am at someone, I would never ask that of anyone.  Granted, I felt as if I could throw her onto the highway for lying...numerous times.  After a little while more, I went to bed.  Unfortunately, I couldn't sleep, because I was still really angry.  About 4 am I got back up, and got back online, and talked with Steve some more, when I realized...It's my fault.  If I had turned down the money, the whole series of horrible events would have not happened, or not been known to everyone.  Saturday, if I had not gone to work, if I had met up with her, we would have hung out at the mall, likely come back here, watched TV, play a game, and she would have gone home, likely to come over again Sunday.  But I figure, because I wanted money more than someone to be with,

1. Steve would not have known about us, which I figure would have still been known later, since I am no Joe Cool, would have screwed up the relationship somehow and likely would have told him, but later

2.I would not have known about Ashley and Steve sleeping together, and for the time being, ignorance is bliss, or at least better than blinding rage.

3.  She would not have gone over to that guys house, had sex, and possibly contracted the virus that will kill her.

So, in the end, I am one of the people responsible for her possible death.
This is why I have ANGST.  Towards so many people

It's understandable that you'd be upset after all that.  If you find out that she did contract HIV, try not to blame yourself.  In a story filled with questionable decisions, you come out looking pretty clean.  Don't beat yourself up, and try not to be mad at Ashley, either.  If she did contact HIV, she'll probably need emotional support from her friends.  You have my sympathy.

Okay.  I just read you post all the way through and let me tell you something I am 100% sure about.  None of this crap that you were faced with was your fault at all.  Do not blame yourself one bit.  However I do not understand why you like Steve or Ashley in the first place.  Do I really have to say it?  I mean come on.  Just look at those two.  Do I really have to tell you why?

I know it's not my fault, but I can't help but feel guilty.  And if she does have HIV, I will support her.  I'm better today, yesterday just hit me like a ton of bricks.  It isn't the best outcome for one of the first women I liked, who was, as I thought, interested in me.  Right now I am just worried for her, since she's getting tested today. 

However I do not understand why you like Steve or Ashley in the first place.  Do I really have to say it?  I mean come on.  Just look at those two.  Do I really have to tell you why?

Uh, yeah, Please do tell me why.  I've been friends with Steve for years, and though Ashley...I am still going to be friends, and support her, I just need a bit more time to cool down.  I don't quite see what you are trying to say.

Wouldn't this be one of the only times you don't tell someone how to live, as, from what I have read, you try to enforce your thoughts onto any person, and now that you directly question me and my friends, you take to silence?  Don't you think you should shut up altogether, on all subjects, not trying to "help" every person here?  Or, at very least, explain what you say.  I'm getting over the situation little by little, but if there is something you must say about my friends, I see it as only necessary to tell me.

Oh phooey.  I guess I'll say that you shouldn't blame yourself, because the fact that those things happened like that seems way too "coincidental" or something.  And putting the blame on something doesn't help solve the problem.  If you feel that you're to blame, then I guess that's why you wish you could do something.  I don't know if there's much to do.  It just sounds like bad stuff already happened.  I guess if they need a friend, you'd be there.

Wow, I didn't think I'd be posting here, but I am expressing some ANGST! with the people here saying how bad anime is.

DO THEY ACTUALLY EVEN WATCH IT? If they don't watch it, they really shouldn't give an opinion on it, or stereotype it.

Not ALL anime has robots or magic in it.

Good example: Detective Conan/Case Closed. It is a semi-serial series that has a high school student trapped in an elementary school student's body who solves crime mysteries because his legal guardian is too stupid to solve them himself.

Another good example: Cowboy Bebop. Another semi-serial series that contained 26 episodes. Yes, there was combat and stuff, but the only "robotic" things involved were space vessels.

Some stuff might be cheesy, yes, like during fights when characters just have to shout the names of their attacks, etc. It's only a small price to pay for something that can actually be entertaining to watch.

If you don't like anime that's fine but if you say "anime is horrible its just all magic and robots fighting and crap" try ACTUALLY WATCHING SOME ANIME THAT IS ACTUALLY GOOD before you can form an opinion on it.

Do not say this to your store clerk. It is not funny or original and they have heard it ten thousand times. Maybe Deezer knows what I'm talking about.

I think that advertisement was in another country, though, so it likely doesn't have the racist overtones that it would carry in the U.S. Remember that it was in the U.S. that blacks were formerly slaves.

I still think the advertisement is stupid, though.


Some people need to get serious here. From what I've seen of Fairemaster's doings, he wasn't nearly as annoying or obnoxious as certain other former members of this board. Just look up marioguy's posts with the forum search engine.

My family just bought an HDTV.  I now know why HDTVs are not yet mainstream.  It's not because they're too expensive.  It's because they suck.  According to the TV's user manual, we can't watch 4:3 broadcasts in standard 4:3 mode more than 15% of the time, or else we will unevenly burn the TV's phosphors and make 16:9 sources look bad.  Instead, we have to watch 4:3 sources in 16:9 mode, with everyone stretched out to look fat.  We bought a CRT projection TV specifically so that we could get several resolutions and watch 1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i sources without scaling, but it's moot because we still have to scale standard 4:3 broadcasts, which is what we will be watching 90% of the time.  In my mind there is a rather obvious solution to the phosphor burn-in problem: the TV should analyze the signal and dynamically change the brightness of the side bars in 4:3 mode to match the average brightness of the center screen, preventing uneven burning of the phosphors.  Apparently this idea never occurred to the engineers who designed our TV.  Due to poor design, our new HDTV looks much worse than our old TV for standard low-def sources.  We collectively have buyers' remorse.

I wish he hadn't have vetoed (sp?) it, but at least it's legal for private industry to do research.  Also, Bush won legally.  It may not have been fair, but it was legal.  I personally hate the electoral system.  We should have one person, one vote.  States or no states.

The electoral college is a great way to elect important officials in an efficient representative democracy!

I mean, do we really need more than 5 or 6 states determining the president every year? Those other 44 don't deserve any say, anyways, I mean, since, ya know, they always vote the same way every year anyways. Like sheep.

(Of course, I live in one of the worst examples of the very phenomenon I described... and my views are different than the bulk of this state. It natuarally follows that I don't think the electoral college is very well thought-out at all.)

Well, when I lived in Mississippi it didn't matter if I voted for a non-Republican (which I have) because the electoral votes for Mississippi always go to a Republican.  Now that I live in Californian it won't matter if I voted for a non-Democrat (which I have) because the electoral votes for California always go to a Democrat.  I'd rather my vote count no matter who I voted for.  If there was no electoral college I'd expect a lot more people would vote as they would not have the problem I mentioned above.  Also, I hate the two party system, but it appears both parties do a lot to keep the system.

Yeah, when we were studying for the constitution test it sounded to me like votes didn't matter. At all. In any way possible. It sounded to me like the campaigns were all about "So, when I'm president here are the bright sides you'll have to look on," and then the Electoral College pulled a name out of a hat.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Luigison on July 20, 2006, 03:20:55 PM
No, they don't pull from a hat.  They typically base their vote on the majority of their states votes.  Though some states divide their electoral votes up to more closely line up with their states popular vote percentage.  I think that's a better system.

Post by: Hirocon on July 20, 2006, 09:16:14 PM
They're all on the hinges, but I can't tell if most of them are actually cracks or just intentional seams of some sort.  Most of them appear symmetrically on both sides of the hinge, suggesting that they might just be seams.  One of them is definitely a crack (it has no symmetric counterpart), and it looks exactly like all the others, suggesting that they're all cracks.  I count at least eight potential cracks.

i hated it, but I had to watch the last one. I was at this forum disscussing it and alot of people were complaining it was rushed and that the characters spoke too fast. Going over my tape of the episode, I couls'nt help but agree. I'm also kind of angry about that joke Cosmo pulled on Wanda in the episode, only to recieve no compuppance or show any regret. What is the moral supposed to be that it's bad to be mean to your friends but okay to be mean to your wife? That pretty much ruined the moral. It also bugged me Timmy is still a brat, after I thought he learned his lesson in Fairy Idol. And thats my rant on the last episode...

Sorry for the double post, but i wanted to quote this.
Yeah, it's getting cnacelled, but there's an unaired episode that had Jimmy kissing Cindy and walking away. It's called Lady Sings the News. There's also a FOP episode that only aired in UK only, one half of it had Timmy with a new teacher.

This post pertains to this conversation (http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=9327.msg440633#msg440633).
Keep in mind that not all of these people live in a physical representation of the underworld. To them, 70 is a cool summer night, right? I mean, Satan lives just down the street from my house, where the dumpsters are full of Cheez Whiz crates and there's a toolshed where he made us suffer.
In all seriousness, my visit to SF last weekend made me realize just how unfair it is that I have to live where I do. It was 92 degrees tops there, and earlier this week we were told it really cooled down. To "cold," even. I don't get cold, I'll wear shorts year-round, but heat enrages me so much. Ah! Maybe that's why so many of my posts lately have been "you are wrong" this and "what was the point of your post?" that. So sorry. I just don't want to spend any more time living in this God-forsaken valley.

Because everyone knows, when you touch pickles, you'll get infected with a pickle-related disease that can be fatal. You're a real baby if I ever saw one. :P

If you're THAT horrified of pickles, just wash your hands after disposing of them. Or, remove them with a napkin. Seriously, unless there's a liquid condiment on the burger/sandwich you don't like, there's nothing wrong with removing the unwanted parts.

Back on topic, though, I'm quite annoyed about how close my next orthodontist appointment is to my senior pic session.

The braces'll most likely be removed the appointment after, but I have no idea if the removal appointment will be before or after the picture section. (Obviously, I'd like them to be removed before the session, because then I could grin at the camera like I always wanted to.)

My orthodontist appointment is tomorrow (July 31st). If I recall correctly, my sister got her braces off only about 3 or 4 days after her previous orthodontist appointment. If the same is true for me (provided they say my braces're ready to come off), I wouldn't complain at all.

My senior portrait session is a week from tomorrow's appointment (August 7th). That means it'd be great if my braces are removed on August 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th (they're not in on weekends, except for one Saturday a month, and it's never on the first week).

I have to leave for an eight-hour drive tomorrow to San Diego because my brother and cousin are joining the marines and he graduated from boot camp or something similar.  Good reason to travel, but I really don't like traveling with my family.  Because when you're far away from home, there's nowhere left to hide.

I've got these large mosquitos flying around my house.  Actually, I'm not sure if they are part of the mosquito family, but they bite.  And it's freaky since they are at least an inch long, leg to leg, and the body seems to be about half an inch itself...and the bites really hurt.  Kinda creepy when they float over the floor in a large circle.

Could be horse flies, they obtain blood from the skin differently from mosquitoes. Mosquitoes use a long probiscus in which they insert into the skin. Because it's so small, the person being bitten usually does not know about it until they catch it in the act.

Horse flies, on the other hand, literally cut the skin with parts of their mouth that work like knives or scissors, and suck the blood that comes out. This can be very painful.

Kind of why I think it wasn't a horse fly that bit me that one day a few Summers ago, and think it was some sort of fly with a proboscis....

Or a mosquito that looks like a fly.

I'll get into the story, seeing as it's fitting for this thread.

One day, I was at my father's cousin's house for an annual (it's been on hiatus for the past 5 years, due to 9/11 and the cousin currently serving time in prison, that, and the house is pretty much not theirs anymore) family reunion-type event. I was in the pool enjoying myself, when suddenly I feel as if something is starting to suck the life out of my arm. Looking there, I see what looked like a fly on my arm, sucking my blood. I said in my mind "that doesn't look like a mosquito", and showed it to my father's various cousins who were in the pool with me, asking them what to do.

I didn't want to bash the thing with my other hand, because I don't want to feel something that big getting squished. They suggested I go underneath the water, and I did. It flew away, I came back up, blood appearing where it was devouring my life force shortly afterward. The wound healed as quickly as it appeared. Not itchy, so, uhh.....

Let me tell you all a story of how the modicum of faith I had in the American Justice System has been shattered into irretrievable pieces.

One of my father's friends has been separated from his wife for about four or five years now. They have two daughters, roughly aged ten and seven. Anyways, the wife has had custody of the children for a while now. About a year ago, she was caught selling cocaine to elementary school children. So, she went to court, and got off by claiming that "her husband never payed child support." Which he had, and he had receipts to prove it, also. So, we have pushing drugs to children, and now perjury. So, the trial for this is over.

Want to know what she got for all this? One year house arrest, and custody of the children. Not a single day in jail. Because, you know, a coke-pusher is a MUCH better parent than someone with a steady job. I bet those children become cocaine addicts.

Needless to say, I'm very unnerved. And it's quite sad to see how naively happy those two girls are throughout all this incompetence. It really is.

NSMB is great, but it doesn't show off the DS's features well.  So, if you are new to the DS you might want to try Brain Age, Wario Ware, or Feel the Magic/Rub Rabbits.  Still, NSMB and Mario Kart are games everyone should own.

Overall Brain Age got a slightly higher review average:  http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/931667.asp

And I have angst against my son (and husband) on Harvest Moon: Another WL.

He is now a teenager and he is a total brat. He thinks he is better me! (I am so into the game that I have started calling Rock my husband o_0 and Max my son.) He says things like "I know more about animals and crap like that and he doesn't say anything respectful. And he only smiles when you give him a Jade thinggie. He only smiles when he's recieving. And when he wakes up. And my husband is a lazy thing. His hair even grayed before Gustafa, the hippie-elf guy, and he doesn't help (to bad they programmed him like that). His son was mad at him and said "Why don't you have a job!??! Every other dad has one!" and Rock responed, "I do the things to keep me alive! I take naps and eat." o_0. I understand what he's going through.

Today at work, I lifeguarded a gathering of mentally handicapped people (yes, at a swimming pool -- definitely a good place to have such a meeting). On the last spot of the day, I was directing (to the best of my ability) people going down a roughly 20 foot tall waterslide. A little boy, roughly age 4 or 5, went down and got "stuck" (that is, stopped moving) about halfway down the slide. This happens rather frequently. His reaction to this does NOT happen frequently: he stood up and began walking up the slide back to the top. As soon as he got almost to the top (I was whistling and screaming pretty much the whole time with no success), he saw that the last stretch of the slide he needed to climb up to get in line was rather steep, so he begins trying to climb OUT of the slide. Remember, he's about 20 feet up, and if he falls out, he's going to land on a concrete walkway. Soon as I see this, I jump in front of everyone to go down the slide and grabbed the child to prevent him from jumping out of the slide onto the concrete. So, pretty much, I saved this child's life.

If you're the parent of a child (a mentally handicapped child, no less) who attempts to do something that will almost definitely kill him, and someone stops him from doing this, how would you speak about the person who saved your child?

After the shift, the parent came to the slide to get her child (he was attempting to open the gate on the slide after I'd bungeed it shut), and the guard working at the bottom of the slide and I explain what happened with her child. She immediately freaks out -- saying things like "What am I supposed to do about this? I was in the shower! (yes, not watching your four year old son almost die) He's HANDICAPPED! Why shouldn't he be allowed to go down the slide? Is this fair? You're BAD PEOPLE." To the best of my knowledge, the mother was not herself handicapped.

So, the next time you're in a situation where someone's life is in danger, don't do anything. You wouldn't want someone to think you're a BAD PERSON, would you?

As an aside, my faith in humanity is at an all-time low.

Actually, now that you mention it, another adult who had no relation to the family did come up to me about ten minutes after this happened and thank me graciously. Of course, this was before the parent's reaction. Since the parent's reaction was the last encounter I had with anyone, it really left a bad taste in my mouth. I mean, it seemed like the other people at the pool were very grateful... everyone except the boy's mother.

Why would she overreact when you and the other lifeguard explained the situation very nicely?

Because we "criticized her son for being mentally handicapped." Apparantly, telling someone that their child almost died is "criticism" and intolerant to handcapped children.

That lady had issues. You saved her sons life and she's horribly ungrateful.

I find that a LOT of the people who go to the pool I work at have issues. I've worked there for four years, and this year has been the worst as far as inexplicable actions go.

You shoulda' let the boy die, Steve. shure you might loose your job, but it would be worth it.

Even if I were incredibly spiteful like that, at the time this happened, I had never met the child's parent. He was being taking care of by his sister (who was about six years old). That said, I don't just "let" people die because their parents are ungrateful. And I doubt I'd have been fired if the child had spontaneously jumped from the slide like I was afraid he would have. There'd have been an investigation, maybe a lawsuit (which I'd lose a $1700 car with 103,000 miles on it. That's all.), but I don't think I get criminal charges filed against me, or lose my job, if this child's action happens quickly enough for it to be unpreventable.

I have two ideas for why people get so angsty at me for no apparant reason (since I have noticed this):

1) I live in the most irrational town of all the regular members of the FF;
2) I have some trait that makes people's first impressions of me worse than most people's.

Maybe a combination of both. I don't know.

That would be like someone getting yelled at for destroying a doomsday weapon because the villain "put 30 years of his life" into it.  Rediculous if you ask me.

"You're BAD PEOPLE."
My experience with parents is that they often over react and misplace anger when it's over their kid(s). 

One of my neighbors got very angry the other day when her little kid went out with out her knowing it.  I'd went to get the mail which requires me to walk past her house and my cat followed me like he always does.  The kid saw the cat throw the window and said something I didn't understand completely, but I acknowlegded that he was looking at the cat.  My cat followed me home and I heard the kid from the sidewalk across the street say something about the cat so I took the cat to the sidewalk.  Just then his mother walked out and was very angry at her kid and though she didn't voice it I could see she was mad at me too because of the "You're a BAD PERSON" look she gave me.  I was ashamed.  I'd assumed she allowed him out, and didn't want him to cross the street, but she didn't even know her child had went outside.  I can understand her anger as I could have been some perve using a pet to attract children, but from my point of view it was her fault for not properly watching her kid or locking the door.  Regardless, I'm sure I'll over react from time to time over my daughter who is scheduled to arrive tomorrow evening.

BTW, I'd taken the cat towards her son who I'd known previously liked cats full well knowing that his father did not as I've heard him use the word "kill" and "cat" in the same sentence another time I'd went to check the mail.  Who knows, maybe my cat's been using his flowerbed which is all dirt and weeds as a litter box.

That sorta reminds me of the time my mom saved a little girl's life...
She was at a store, and she saw a little girl (about 3-4) unattended walking around in the parking lot, almost about to cross a street. My mom comes over there to go save her. She brought the little girl back to that store (my mom had assumed that she was recently at that store), and she brought her to a cashier. The worker called her mom, and after about five minutes, that girl's mom came. She didn't thank anybody, she was really upset about everything. But not about how she lost her child. She was upset because she found her child... and that's all my mom told me.

I don't do the Ebay thing too much anymore (I've been burned one too many times).

I'm here to complain about the people I work with (or more specifically, most of my CSM's). See, I work at Wal*mart, and any day that I don't have to work is a blessed day indeed. That's because most of the CSM's (people in red vests at Wal*mart) don't care about us cashiers. There are 3 that are really good at their job, but one is leaving (moving to Florida), one is currently on vacation (I think), and the other one.. just doesn't work often enough. (ok, so she just has alot of time off)

The other 3 or 4 CSM's just stand around and talk all the time (even though they've been repeteadly told not too), or they do things in pairs, while talking (again, told not to do that), or there is one that just completely ignores the fact that the cashiers need help. They carry around these palm pilots that we can send different codes off to, and they beep when we have sent them a code.

There was one day I was on a registar close to where the CSM podium is, and could see the lazy CSM. One of the nearby cashiers needed help and sent the code for it. The pilot went off and the CSM (who had been just standing there talking) looked at her palm pilot, and then just sat it back down and kept talking, like it hadn't gone off. One of the 3 good CSM's was standing there, his pilot went off, and he went to help the cashier that needed help.

Sorry, I just get so aggravated at work. My fiancee thinks it's cute and loves to calm me down, but I've gotten so frustrated that I had to put something up on the Internet somewhere so somebody could see it.

Go visit my LiveJournal (see signature) for more rants about work.

I guess that's all I have to complain about right now. :D

It's a about Kappa Mikey, a new T.V series coming to Nick on August 20th. The show stars a super hero named Mikey, the "number one face of Japan Anime". The support characters include a rat (who sort of looks like everyone's favorite over weight electric rat) and a boss who also appears in super deformed mode. I've had it with this.  It's like American telivision is trying to rip  Anime  clear off the face of the Earth. I didn't want to believe it when that crappy Totally Spies show came out. I didn't want to believe it when the Avatar came to Nick (hey, it's actually a good show.) But I just can't take it anymore. Yeah, so Drawn Together had Ling-Ling. But that's way different when compared to this. Somehow I think these people hardly know or understand Anime at all, and are just trying to appeal to American anime fans to make a quick buck.  I think it's disgraceful, and it reflects on how unoriginal we are.

Somehow I think these people hardly know or understand Anime at all, and are just trying to appeal to American anime fans to make a quick buck.  I think it's disgraceful, and it reflects on how unoriginal we are.

*sigh*. So, how was your day?

Preveiws of that show have been playing on teletoon for quite a while now (Yes, I'm canadian). At first glance, it might appear that they're trying to parody anime, but you're right. They just want to cash in on the "in" right now; anime. The creators are making fun of the visuals of anime, but are missing the entire point of anime. Namely the deep, continuing storylines, the huge amount of characters development, the well-writen dialoge, the inspiring musical scores, the climatic battles, the wonderful voice actors and much more. All of that Kappa mikey seems to lack. A darn shame, since Nick actually did make a good anime copy ( Avatar).

Plus the visuals don't even look like anime. Real anime is more detailed and better drawn then KM. Real anime also has something called shading and lighting.

Well, I got my daily angst out in the open.

I was initially excited about KM. I was thinking: "Finally, a show that'll give those crazy anime fans what they deserve!". Then I actually saw it. I was mortified. I'll bet I could parody anime 20 times better than that.

I'm feeling a little angst at "smart" people; the people who think they know everything and anything about the universe.  The people who claim that any religion other than pure science is complete fantasy and utter fairytale.  These people appear, to me, as the most lost, close-minded, and unsure people I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot. 
Pride is not a good thing.  Brains are not the peak of happiness.  And most of all:  The television is hardly ever right.
(That last part may not seem to fit in, but in all honesty, it truly does).
Seeing this type of person is always very depressing for me. 
But, on a lighter note, there's always hope for change.

You have a good point, though I don't see why you single out "strong" atheists when there's people of almost every religious belief structure who do it.
EDIT: Actually, thinking about it, I understand why you focus your attention to one belief here... though I still think it can apply to any belief set.

And ya, the TV is almost never right. Most new shows are not well contrived at all, and every time I see a celebrity breakup on news programs, I want to just throw up. Ugh.

I'm feeling quite angst as well, not only because of Kappa Mikey, but because of my inability to talk to women. Every time I try to walk up to one and ask her a simple question (and this is even worse for girls that are cute) I clam up and say something so utterly stupid that I feel bad for the rest of my life. Why am I so shy around girls? My friends tease me about it, and afterwords they try to give me advice. But I just end up totally blowing it the next time. I hate it so much! I hate being shy around women!

Groan.................well, at least it's not all bad. I'm a real cut-up around my friends, only because they're guys and I'm not trying to impress them. Still, I don't think I'll ever get over this.

Nothing big, but a bunch of little stuff made today less than great.  First, my ear buds busted, so now I have one side working, the other just sending sparks if I put it in my ear.  It really hurt, so I just cut the dead side off, and I'll have to go buy new ones tomorrow.  Also, my mother was in a bad mood, angry at my father.  So, of course, everyone in the house got yelled at for the small things they did, or, in our case, didn't do.  Also, I unscrewed the the lightbulb from my desk lamp, which was dead, and I dropped it into my lap, where it rolled off, and shattered under my desk.  I got most of the large pieces, but I'm just waiting for one of the slivers to pierce my foot. 

Oh, and after a few years with cable internet, I truly hate trying to work with dial-up.  I'm going to ask my father about how I should go about getting cable in my room, though I doubt anything will happen.  I can't complain about it too much, though, since I'm glad to finally have some form of internet in my room.  But, alas, that's for a different topic...if I'm ever able to get there at this slow pace.

Post by: Vidgmchtr on August 21, 2006, 12:54:52 AM
Wow, a LiveJournal-worthy ANGST post from me!

My father's been quite irrational/childish today.

Earlier he yelled my brother's name. My brother couldn't hear him, as he was blasting his music. Next, he yells my name. Wanting to know why, I gave a firm "What?". His reply being my name again, I repeated myself. He then said to "come down here". I opened the door, and I repeated myself the third time. He says "Help me move this", referring to a very heavy dining room table. He said this in a very rude tone, not a friendly, fatherly "Could you please assist me in moving this?". Because of that (and the fact that I didn't want to carry/move something that heavy), I replied "no".

Knowing that I don't have to if I don't want to, I was about to close my door when he shouted "not 'no', help me!". I asked "Why can't you get Dan to help you?", his reply being "Because I asked you".

"No dad, I do not want to help you."

He then proceeds to insult me, and threaten to not take me to Pizza Hut (we had dinner there today) or remove my TV. Not being intimidated, I said "Oh, you're taking me, and you're not removing my TV, either".

"Wanna bet?", he asked. I failed to answer, mainly because it was a stupid question.

Later, I go downstairs to sit on the couch to wait to go. Later still, my brother comes down as well, and my father resumes insulting me, telling him that I'm "good for [nothing]", and that he wants to punish me. After telling dad that he was being irrational, he continues to insult me, saying that I HAD to help him. I then explain to him that if I don't want to, I don't have to, and have done nothing wrong. I was now quite annoyed at my father's childishness.

Mom asks me why I'm downstairs and not upstairs entertaining myself. I said "I'm waiting to go to Pizza Hut", and my father said "who said you're going?". Again, no answer from me because it was a stupid question.

He also started yelling at mom, asking why she's wearing pants and not shorts, because, you know, it's against the law to wear pants during the summer. He feels his summer is unpure or something if people don't wear summer clothing. I personally don't have any shorts myself.

She asks "why are you yelling at me?" three times in three different ways, and I replied "Because dad's an idiot" all three times, getting louder and more annoyed in tone each time.

Finally, we left for Pizza Hut, and enjoyed dinner there.

I have many valid points on why I'm not the bad guy in this situation, so I'd appreciate it if you didn't feel sympathy for my father. He got someone else to help him move the table. Good for him. He has this mentality that WE (his children) should be doing the housework for him because his father forced him to do so as a child, while his father would watch TV or read the newspaper in his favorite chair while his mother cooked dinner in the kitchen.

Um, I'd have to agree with TEM on this, Vidgmchtr. Even if you couldn't have lifted the dining table, it's still proper to go down and help anyway. When your father saw you couldn't move the table, he would let you go back to your room. Plus, what if your dad had a bad back? I know he didn't, but I'm just saying what if he did. Would you say no to him than?

Post by: Koopaslaya on August 21, 2006, 01:35:05 PM
I think you should have done it because he is our father, and he asked you for help. That in and of itself is worthy of respect. Moreover: would it have killed you to take 5 minutes and move a table?
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Vidgmchtr on August 21, 2006, 03:02:13 PM
He did not "ask" for help. There's a difference between "Son, do you think you could help me move this?" and "HELP ME MOVE THIS!".

Look, I'm not going to act all emo about this. Yes, he is my father, a person I should respect. But a person who can't even remember my age, makes childish, shallow comments about people who look less than pretty/normal, laughs at his children if they talk like an adult to him, and CURSES HIS OWN SON OUT (many examples of this, not just after I said "no" to him), is not someone I'd look highly upon.

He loves me like a son, yes, and I love him like a father, yes. Does he respect me? No. Should I give him respect even though he doesn't, and while he still has all those faults? I've tried to, believe me, I have, but my patience has run out.

Again though, my anger with that situation has long since subsided (though it may not look that way, seeing as you guys have done the opposite of what I requested at the end of that post).

*sigh* I love my father more than anything else in the world, so naturally, when he asks for my help, I do everything I can to do so. Besides, it's times like that where I can really get to sit down (or stand up and work rather) and talk to him about life. I think it's enjoyable to get the chance to work with my dad. I'm not saying Vid's wrong not to help his father, it's just hard for me to agree with him.

I was just playing The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle Earth II on PC.  All the statistics for my custom create-a-hero randomly got deleted.  With the statistics lost, I lost all the medals I had earned through those statistics. This would sort of be like randomly losing all your trophies in Super Smash Brothers Melee.  I scanned the BFMEII message boards, and apparently this is a common problem.  I'd like to play the game some more to rebuild my statistics, but I have no guarantee that they won't just get deleted again.  I e-mailed tech support politely asking them to address this issue in a future game patch, but I doubt it will happen any time soon.

THe best way to keep mosquitoes away I've found is to build a fire, then put leaves on it. This will creare an obscene ammount of smoke. Stand around in the smoke for a few minutes. You will be mosquito free. Beware that this is really only useful when camping.

I've been scanning the message boards for Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth II and I've discovered there are a lot of easily-reproducible bugs in the game, not just the statistics-deleting bug I experienced earlier.  I'm really starting to hate EA.  I bought Madden 2005 and discovered to my dismay that to unlock everything in the game I needed to play a bunch of other sports games.  I sold my copy of Madden to EB Games.  I bought Sims 2 and discovered there were features I could only access if I owned Sim City 4.  So I bought Sim City 4.  Then I discovered that there were features of Sim City 4 I could only access if I owned the original Sims.  I have no desire to own both The Sims and The Sims 2 at the same time.  I can't sell back PC games to EB Games, but I uninstalled both Sims 2 and Sim City 4 out of protest.  Before buying BFMEII I checked a bunch of sights to make sure that the game had no features that could only be unlocked with other games.  Everything looked okay, so I bought the game... Now I've discovered that the game is freakishly buggy.  I should have guessed as much, since Sims 2 was freakishly buggy as well.  So I pretty much hate EA Games now, and I resolve to never buy another game from them.  They are the anti-Blizzard.

ANGST!!! today while playing MB o MaL:SS on my DS (really need to get a DS game) I was on phase 28, the highest one I had gone to, one life, saw two crabs together, one angry, I pick up my POW block from above, and flipped them over, the problem is that one crab was inside the other, and I thought both were flipped over, I jumped over there to knock them off, only to end up dying. I didn't see the one inside on it's feet, and I lost the game for that, Well, I still broke my record, 22 from 28...

I have another new bit of ANGST to report.  I found out last night that one of my friends developed an irregular heartbeat.  Therefore, he's pretty screwed as far as sports go, and this guy is a soccer nut.  I don't have a clue how it happened.  This guy is the most physically fit person that I know.  How could something like this happen?  It's sudden ailments like this that really tick me off.

It's a good thing my job pays what it does, otherwise I would have no reason to continue my job.  Today at work (I do telephone polls at Syracuse University), I had such a slow day, with very rude people.  Usually, it's alright, because every few times, I get someone willing to do a poll, and they're polite and quick.  Actually talking to people makes the day go by much faster.  But today, I went for about an hour with either no answer, or people quickly saying "No, I won't take it, because it would cause no harm to me, and I am way too busy to bother with a simple 4 minute poll where I don't have to think and just say which choice applies to me."...Okay, that's a slight exageration.  But when the people are so rude really annoys me. 

I had one lady today that, when I called her, said (and this is NO exageration) "Do you know what time it is?"  I was kinda surprised at this, mainly because she cut me off while I was doing the "Hi, my name is Mike, and I'm calling because blah, blah.  Would you like to participate?".  I answer kinda slowly "Uh...about 8:30...", to which she replies "Yes, and I don't take calls this late, especially for polls", and hung up.  I just sat there with my mouth slack, rather confused.  I don't care if people say that they don't want to do it, and I'm polite and say sorry for bothering them, and to have a good night, so the way she made it seem like what I did was wrong and dirty annoyed me.  Luckily, she was one of the last people to answer the phone, so I didn't have to make the too many other people stay up into the wee hours of the night, answering question after question...

Another kind of people I get a lot are the ones that yell that they're on the 'Don't call' list.  That would apply, but the numbers we dial are all from the phone book, and we aren't selling anything. 

Annoying callers, and I have to work on the day my sister goes back to college.

Of course, theres always the upside, like when I call someone who just likes chatting away, though my boss kinda frowns on that...Oh well.  Usually it's old guys talking about how they don't give a Flying-F*** about if people smoke (that's the topic of this weeks survey), and then decide to tell me that at my age, he was landing on jet carriers, or telling me what the Final Jeopardy question was.

Let me tell you about my beginning Junior Year of high school.

Alright, my classes are all great.  Good teachers, good classmates, and alirght classrooms(none of that 400 Building craziness!).  But at lunch, I never seem to want to find my friends.  I have late lunch with the seniors, so I can't even meet up with my sophomore friends except between classes.  And I'm unwilling to approach my senior friends because I feel like I'd be bombarding their private, already-established posse, which includes some people I'm not even particularly close with.  Meanwhile, my friends my own age also hang out in similar groups, which I don't want to disrupt.  I'm hoping that I'll make it into the fall play, and I can meet up with my friends finally after school through that, but right now I feel kinda lonely.  I recognize that this is my own fault, and I don't even mind going solo at lunch sometimes, since I say hi to everyone I know quite frequently anyway.  But this is the angst thread, and I might as well complain.

If the entire game could be put in a 4 megabit cart, why couldn't Nintendo add in something like a level creator to allow players to create their own scenarios? I don't get it. There should be plenty of room for one...

( Or at least I used to be. ) Which really sucks, considering my aunt ( she used to live in Canada and spoke the worst English, but she could'nt pay for it due to the fact that she doesn't have a job and that she spent so much money on her stupid son. ) makes both me and my cousin Anthony do her son's homework for him, because God knows how much he sucks at it. I'm always forced into doing it at the end, while he watches TV.

McDonald's complaints!

I was waiting in the car with my sister for my mom to return with my usual McD's order (visit the Fast Food thread for the "Mr.Melee's Choice"). While we were waiting, some lady/ grandma had her teenage grandkids or whatever with her. Well, she's opening the door for one, and she opens it right into our driver's side door! She just kept scratching and scratching it until she got into the car, without so much as a "sorry" or a phone number for the damage (a blue streak/ scratch). They just drive away. Luckily, I memorized the license number, so they'll pay. Well, Mom comes out, and says that they said they did not have the Mario toys. Well, my sister got one, so I'm like, "yeah, sure." Then, they give my sister McNuggets instead of a Double Cheeseburger. They also include no ketchup at all. So, my mom's quite frustrated now, with the scratch and order. Eventually, they straightened everything out, except there was still no ketchup :'( . Turns out, the people working were just stupid teenagers that don't know the difference between a Barqs root beer and a milkshake. Meh. McDonald's ANGST.

Well, we're the same age, PaperMario. I wonder what 8th grade is going to be like.

I have angst against the Shadow Queen in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. I CAN'T BEAT HER!

It'll be worse than 7th grade, but I'm sure we'll think about it one day and think " Wow, that was too easy ", or something like that.
Hey, we both have the same Paper Mario TTYD angst!

Man, everything in my house is falling apart.  Okay, maybe not everything, just the refridgerator.  And the microwave.  Maybe just the kitchen.  I'm not sure exactly whats wrong, but from what I've gathered, the area in the freezer where the cold air comes out has a build-up of ice, I think it has something to do with the ice maker...which has never worked right.  This causes the whole thing to either freeze everything.  Everywhere.  I don't like my milk lumpy and my eggs hard.  OR, to keep things in the freezer frozen, but not a brick, we turn it down, and the fridge is an ocean.  I think we may actually need to get a new one.

The microwave works alright, except half the buttons don't work...like 'Start'.

Oh, and we can't make toast without making half the house lose power.  Yeah, our house is an electricians nightmare.  Or fantasy, if they're working on the electric.

Ugh. Orchestra Angst.

I don't know why, but my orchestra director is a jerk. The problem is I have him first period, when I'm just waking up, and I get a healthy dose of yelling and screaming. I'm thinking "I so don't need this right now," and to make it worse, he always stands over my shoulder and watches me play. I get nervous and mess up, which results in more screaming. He tells me that I'm immature and........well, you get the idea.

Heh..............it's funny, but I'll probabley get someone telling me I'm immature for complaining, but if you had to deal with this guy (or someone like him, as I'm sure some of you have the same problem) you'd catch my drift.

The only conductor I've harbored some sort of dislike for was my 5th grade conductor. There were technically two that year, but the cooler one mainly taught at another elementary school in the district.

He once insulted my poor ability to tongue notes (which I still cannot do very well to this day, which is due to the fact that I had a gap in my teeth, and I made it habit to tongue incorrectly) on the horn.

I have no idea if he is still conducting or not, and I don't really care.

My middle school director was awesome.

My high school director... well... let's say he lets politics* interfere with his job a bit too frequently. I respected him at times, and at other times some of the things he did were just stupid. For example, he has this bizarre belief that the section leader in the trumpet section should not be seated any higher than fourth chair regardless of how good he is. Which resulted in me playing first trumpet sophomore and junior year, and second trumpet** senior year behind a freshman (a really good freshman, but at the time not better than I was at that time. I mean, now he's probably better than I was, but now is 2 years later). Senior year... I never practiced at all because the class period was more than enough time to learn my (significantly easier than the two years prior) parts. I got bored with my parts, burned out, and stopped playing after 12th grade.***

Ah well. As goes life, I guess.****

*(not government politics... school politics)

**(in our band, the first two chairs played first part, third and fourth played second, and fifth and sixth played third. There's 6 trumpets in our "upper" band, and the rest were placed in the lower band. I was second chair in 10th grade, first in 11th, and fourth in 12th. Guess what year I was section leader in.)

***(this is also due to poor luck in scheduling classes in college)

****(this footnote has no purpose other than to mock my own egregious use of footnotes in this post)

I played the clarinet from 5th to 8th grade, and for some reason it was so funny, being in that class.  Soemtimes we would say something really funny inbetween songs, and then during the next song I'd crack up and sort of stop playing for a measure and the teacher would get angry.  But I can't help it some really fnny things happeed there.  That's where we saw our friend kissing the flute player through the window!  Man, band is fun when it's not too serious.  I mean, yeah, you play the song as well as you can, but after that, anything goes.  I guess the angst is that I'll miss occasions like that...

ANGST!

My civics teacher just gave us this big assignment to do where we write a short story from the point of view of an immigrant. Though I'm taking the easy way out(having an immigrant from Great Britain), it couldn't get any harder. I'm no good at completely making up personalities, I'm only good at basing personalitiies off other characters or people. And I SUCK at taking on the personalities of other people. That's probably why I don't do role plays.

Dude. With my band, "interfering" is an understatement. We practice 15 hours a week, and Saturdays 8 to 5. That's not counting Tuesdays, which are sectionals and can go for another hour or so. Although the hours are a bit understandable, since we're preparing to do well at Grand Nationals.

Anyway: I have angst because we auditioned for chair placements in concert band today and I want to know my chair. They don't tell us till later. >:(

So, I'm in Wind Ensemble.

Because of my very open schedule, I can take part in the lower level bands (Symphonic, and Concert, I've been in both in previous years) and help out in the horn section which is lacking in both bands (no hornists at all in Symphonic, just one in Concert, if I recall correctly) if I'd like.

Symphonic Band, a band I was in my Sophomore and Junior year, bored me to tears due to the fact that the students in it LOVE to interrupt the teacher, when I want to play music (and we played not so good, when compared to how the Wind Ensemble plays).

Alright, on to the story. Today was my first day of classes, and the conductor (same conductor as in the other band), didn't have to pause for more than 3 seconds when students started to get a little over excited while orientating us.

Two periods later, in Symphonic, while I sat in a corner of the room, the conductor had to pause for more than 10 seconds a handful of times in the period, and due to the fact that the first three periods were shortened because of homeroom, they couldn't get through much of the Syllabus. Most of the jerks are still in that band (you not only have to be a good player to get into Wind, you need to be respectful as well), and I was glad that I didn't have to play in it, because I am in a higher band.

I think I'd need to be bribed if I wanted to play in that band again.

As for Concert Band, most of the freshman in there seem to be fine. Though, I DID get a form for early release by that time (It's 9th period, the last period of the day, and I have no class, so I can leave campus provided people know I have no more classes), I'm still undecided if I want to play in that band.

Well, right now I'm missing a dance.  I usually never attend dances and don't mind missing them, but for some reason this time is a bit different.

In my freshman year in high school, this girl in my German class told me I should go to the first dance, the only one held outside.  I knew she wasn't asking me to go with her, but she was simply persuading me to try to enjoy myself.  At the end of that day, I told her I'd go, and she seemed pleased for me.  When I actually went, I found her after a while, pretty early on, dancing with her friends.  She tried to make me just dance: not with her, just, you know, dance in the whole group of people around us.  I was almost about to, but suddenly fear or shame made me refrain, and I told her either that "I couldn't" or that "I can't dance".  She yelled, because the music was so loud, "You suck!".  Not that other people heard her or anything, but that didn't exactly give me the confidence boost I needed.  I afterwards walked inside the cafeteria, and checking the time, I turned on my mom's cell phone, which I was borrowing because I didn't have one of my own yet.  One of the teachers walked up to me right away and told me to put it away; next time she would take it from me.  I hadn't even heard that cell phones weren't allowed at dances, and being scolded didn't make me feel better.  Also, my school's dances don't let you leave whenever you want, you have to stay until 10:30, I believe it was.  So already my night was pretty discouraging, and I couldn't even go home.  I ended up spending the rest of the night sitting on the other side of this big round fountain area thing, away from the dancing and the people.  About every half-hour I would go to the bathroom, to make it more interesting.  Twice teachers came up to me to ask if I was alright.  The first time it was the lady who told me to put away my cell phone, the second time it was the principal.  I told them both I was fine.  The principal I actually talked to a little more, to be polite.  I told I had seen a shooting star a little earlier, which I had.  I didn't even know she was the principal at the time, I thought she was just a teacher.  Anyway, it was the perfect prelude to a pretty rough year for me.

So yesterday after school, people were abuzz about the first dance of the year, my junior year.  I wasn't really thinking about it, and didn't even mind others talking about it.  But then this one girl in my group of friends that I at least greet regularly asked me and the two people I was next to if we were going.  Everyone said yes, but I tried to shake my head gently.  She persisted that I should come, and that's where I went crazy.  My friends are the people that do school plays and stuff, and we like to act weird a lot, so I began a long series of sentences that I sputtered out quickly while jumping up and down about how I never go to dances because my spirits were dimmed ever since my first dance and how I have low self-esteem and I wouldn't have anyone to hang out with at the dance because I don't have any friends-- the girl interrupted saying "WE'RE your friends!"-- and I continued on saying how I can;t hang out with them because they all hang out in a, inclusive circle that would make any entrance quite awkward and unwanted-- and by this time one of my friends gave me a hug and they were all consoling me but I was trying to tell them that I had been kidding, which I was.

I have angst because I don't think they believed I was kidding.  I don't think I believe me either.

I guess I should contribute while I'm here. I'm disappointed at how my lunch went today. My friend's mom was for some reason in the parking lot so she drove us to McDonald's. I don't... really feel like getting a Mario toy (the sight of Ronald McDonald ans Mario on the same board terrified me) so I just bought some form of nearly-raw meat with subpar onions, just like everyone else in the building. I'm glad to have a Mr. Pibb with that, but I'm flat broke. Just one nickel is in my wallet after this.
...Plus, I kind of hate McDonalds. Oh well, my mom gave me ten dollars, I can go get my fix of gum tomorrow like originally intended.

Wal*Mart ANGST.. *beware, as it is a long read*

There are so many good reasons not to work for Wal*Mart, and yet I can't leave because if I do, I'll be out of a job and won't be able to pay my rent, and.. well, you likely get the idea. Anyway, here is a list of things that people do at Wal*mart that gives me ANGST..

- If a cashier is standing in front of a {lighted} lane, do not ask him/her ignorant questions like "Are you busy?" "Are you open?" "Are you looking for something to do?" "Are you un-busy?".. You will likely be met with a responce that will make you want to go complain.

- If the cashier has turned their light off and is still checking people, _do not get in line_! I hate turning people away, but not if they're going to be half wits that stand in line and expcet me to check them out, especially when it's time for my break/lunch/go home.

- When your items are on the belt and the belt is moving forward, and they get up beside the place where the scanner is (very close to the cashier), __do not push the items forward__! The cashier can see them, but will likely not put them in a bag yet because he/she has a method of doing things, and it's not time to put those items in yet.

- When paying for your items, it is rude to just lay your money down somewhere and expect the cashier to just pick it up. I often wait until people _hand me_ thier money/check. On a similar note, it is also rude to throw money at the cashier, as it will likely make them do things that will make you want to complain.

- If you catch a cashier that is running off to get a drink of water/go to the restroom, do not ask ignorant questions like "You thought you were going to get a break, didn't you?" It will again make them do things that will make you want to complain.

- If you have seperate orders, and the cashier's lane does not have a divider (or "bar thing") do not make a gap the size of the Grand Canyon between them. Often, the cashier can tell the difference between what one order is, and what another one is.
On a similar note, if the cashier doesn't have a divider (or "bar thing"), and it's almost your turn to checkout, do not put things on the belt unless you are ready for them to move down the belt. I get so tired of people putting their things on the belt, then acting surprised that it is moving forward even though _they_ aren't done yet.

- If you have clothes that you are buying that you do not want to get dirty, do not insult the cashier's belt by handing the clothes to him/her and saying "I didn't want to put them down here, it looks dirty." Cashiers often have little/no time to clean their belts/registar areas off, so saying something like that will make the want to place it in the dirtiest spot they can find/reach, thusly making you want to find someone to complain to.

- If the register the cashier is at does not sell cigarettes, do not get mad at the cashier for pointing you in the right direction.

- If the cashier's belt is not moving, do not reach over and turn the belt on yourself. The cashier is likely not finished with his/her other customer yet, and you will likley be met with a less than friendly responce.

- Do not tell the cashier that you are paying with creit card or EBT card (unless we have to key in the number on your card). After you swipe your card (and/or put your numbers in), the machine will often tell us what kind of card it is and what button to hit. If you tell us to press the button, it will make us mad and make us take our time hitting said button (which will waste your time).

- If you have a cell phone, either ignore it once you're paying for things, or turn it off before entering the line, as if you are talking on it while trying to do business with a cashier, the reponce you get will be less than positive.

- If you have an item you decide you do not want, do __NOT__ just put it on a shelf somewhere or on the ground!!! Hand it to the casheir, and tell him/her that you are not buying it, instead of leaving it somewhere where someone could trip on it.

These things have happened to me several times, and I am sick of it. If you are on your phone, I will not contiue to check you out unitl you either hang up, or get mad at me and leave the line. As for giving the cashiers things you don't want, that shouldn't even be an issue. Do you leave things laying around at your house when you don't want it anymore?? Then don't leave it laying around in Wal*Mart!!

Keep in mind the cashiers are people too! </ANGST>

Although I don't go to Wal-Mart that often, I do make trips to Target where I witness ignorant people do just the opposite of what you said not to do. In fact, sometimes the cashier and customer get into verbal fights over stupid things like................well, what Toad said. Funny.

This is why I try hard to avoid Wal*Mart. Most of the time, they either don't have what I'm looking for, or they're not very helpful. (No offense to you, Toad... Cashiers are just fine) Not to mention the customers... One time I spent half an hour in the *EXPRESS LANE* of a Wal*Mart. No exaggeration.

Post by: CoconutMikeNIke on September 12, 2006, 08:58:56 PM
Wal*mart's alright, but I don't have a target close by, so it's all there really is.  The only thing I have against Wal*Mart is they just opened one of the Giganto-Wal*Marts, and I don't see what's so great.  Rather than use the space for more items, they just decide to spread everything out in a stupid way.  I was mostly angry that the electronics section had almost exactly what the smaller one had, just with 6' aisles for walking.  No larger game displays, still little music selection.  That, and the extra peripherals are on the opposite end of the display.  So the Gamecube games are on one side, while the controllers are over by the X-box, on the other end.

Cheatation!

I was just playing Tetris DS one-on-one WiFi.  I got paired with a player rated almost 7800, over 500 higher than my rating.  Of course I lost, but after the game I noticed something strange...all of my opponent's blocks were the same color.  They were all the color of the i piece.  I played him again, and just watched his screen... he got nothing but i pieces!  His preview squares showed a wide range of pieces, but the pieces that actually fell were i pieces, every time!  So now I have ANGST because I want to do that myself but I don't know how!  No, actually I have ANGST because the existence of this apparent cheat/bug invalidates one of my favorite games.

UPDATE: Here (http://youtube.com/watch?v=FwhXeR6rpTs) is a video showing Tetris DS cheatification in action.  Apparently this can be done using an action replay device.  BOO!

They're not usually trying to be.. jerky. It's usually just old people that are trying to make conversation, though younger people have done it too, and that's when it's annoying, since they should know that I usually am trying to get a drink of water or need a quick trip to the restroom before I can continue my job, you know?

I think you can report the guy if you remember his user name (He can be kicked off/banned from the server).

Anyway, another fast-food related ANGST!:

My father, brother, and I drove to Burger King earlier tonight. Unfortunately, my brother drove us to the location that is notorious for getting our orders incorrect 90% of the time (this might be due to the fact that English doesn't seem to be the employees' first language there).

My order was a Spicy Tendercrisp, with no lettuce, and no tomato. Simple, right? I think so. Much better than "Plain, just chicken, spicy sauce and the bun". I opted to make mine a meal with a Dr Pepper to drink. From what I recall, the drive-thru screen had my order correct (and my brother's incorrect). When he said that his order was incorrect, the screen changed, this time showing his correct order. Now, somehow, MY order became INCORRECT. How an order can go from correct to incorrect is simply beyond me. My Spicy Tendercrisp with no lettuce or tomato with medium fries and Dr Pepper became a Tendercrisp with no lettuce or tomato with medium fries and Coke.

A normal Tendercrisp has mayo, a condiment I dislike. Unlike GiftedGirl's predicament with pickles, mayonnaise (as well as ketchup and mustard) is quite difficult (and messy) to remove from a sandwich once it is put on.

As I previously implied, the incorrect orders from there have happened quite a bit before (which is another reason why we drive to a different location, with employees who are actually FLUENT in English).

The incorrect order isn't the main reason for the ANGST! (I was content with wiping the mayo off with a napkin and using BBQ sauce), it's the employees who don't seem to want to learn English. I'm sorry, but if you want to live in the U.S., I think it's quite imperative to learn the language the majority of its citizens speak (in this case, English). I don't say official language, as English is only the "De facto" language of the United States.

You move to France, you have to LEARN to speak French.
You move to Brazil, you have to LEARN to speak Portuguese.
You move to the Phillippines, you have to LEARN to speak Filipino or Tagalog.
You move to the United States, you HAVE TO LEARN to speak English. Otherwise people will yell at you for getting their order at Burger King/McDonald's/Wendy's/wherever wrong.

It's supposed to be quite simple to learn a language when you're in a country that speaks it for a long period of time. You pick up colloquialisms, slang, abbreviations, etc., stuff you don't usually learn when taking classes. How these people who have worked at these places for long periods of time and STILL don't know English is quite surprising to me.

(I tried to make this rant as unoffensive/un-racist as possible.)

Not really.  There could be fifty people out there with the same user name, and anyone can change their user name in under a minute.  Even if I could identify the actual DS and cartridge, I don't  think there is banning functionality built into the game.

Oh, and for the guests that don't know what a $ony fanboy is, here's the definition:

$ony fanboy - pathetic idiot that rants on and on about how much better Sony is than other companies. Also, in severe cases, $ony fanboys think that the world is entitled to their opinion and nobody else's.

Okay, so when I got him down to about 12 HP, I was thinking "hell yeah, I'm finally gonna beat this guy!" When all of a sudden........yup, you guessed it! The freakin' stage FREEZES me! Bonetail then proceeded to kill Mario and Vivian after that. (And I had no life shrooms.) It's so aggravating, I feel like ripping something apart. Like Bonetail.

My aunt got me sick.

My mother and I went over to her sisters house for dinner, since 1) My father and uncle were coming back from Buffalo, and we wanted to welcome them back, and 2) she had a turkey frozen from June she needed to get rid of.  So we went over for a mini-Thanksgiving.  What my aunt failed to mention when she called us was that she has a cold.  I think I could catch a cold anywhere short of a cleanroom.  And I don't get the sniffles, everything on my head shuts down.  My nose is...well, ew.  And since I can't really breath through my nose, my mouth is slack, making me add a new level of slow to my appearance.  Finally, my eyes swell and get watery, making it tough to see.  I've already tripped on the wall, and nearly stepped on a cat.

Hopefully I can get rid of it quickly.  I took a Claritin D about an hour ago, just took 2 Benedryl, and I'm sucking on a cough drop.  Oh, and I ate an orange with a side of orange juice.  Kinda like an orange soup.  Now the drugs are kicking in and I'm dead tired.

The big guy behind the counter (one of those big fat people that breathes heavily, then acts like it's an impostion for you to ask for help *no offense to any fat people who may read this*) was the one who helped us, as the other guy sat there playing some football game on what appeared to be a Sega Saturn. The big guy "helped" my fiancee first by letting her use the Super NES to play a couple of basketball games that she wanted to get for her sisters, and he kept insisting that she get them both as they are only 95 cents each, but she didn't want to just get both of them, she wanted to get the one that she wanted.

Anyway, she found the one that she wanted, and I found a game that I wanted, but I had a question about the two copies of Metroid for the NES. Have you ever seen a copy of Metroid with a yellow label, and Samus is in a pose similar to that on the original Gameboy game Metroid 2? I asked the big guy what the differences between copies might be, and he picked them up, read the back of the cartridges (they were in the case), and then put them down on the glass counter rather harshly and told me that there was no difference, other than art on the game. I told him thank you, and he just kind of threw them back into their spots in the case, and almost slammed it shut.

Then, harshly put Kirby 64 (my game) and the basketball game (Nicky's game) on the counter, and got out the clipboard that they use to write an order out with. I get out my debit card and he rudely tells me that I can't use it. Nicky asks about checks, since my check book was in the car, and the skinny guy playing the football game (who was extremely nicer than the fat guy) said sorry, it's the same machine.

We left without saying another word to either of them.

Reminds me of back when there was this store called The Game Exchange in town. They were terrible; I remember this one time I wanted to buy a SNES game (not sure which one it was, I can recall the stories behind each of my SNES games' origins, even the ones I no longer have, and I guess I just never ended up getting it).
Me: I want _______.
Store guy: We don't have that.
Me: Um... it's right there, on the shelf behind you.
Store guy: No it isn't.
Me: Y... yes it is! It's right there!
Store guy: I said we don't have this game.
Me: IT'S RIGHT THERE!! Do you want my money or not?
Store guy: Look, we don't have the game.
It sounds ridiculous, but it actually happened. That building now sells TV satellites. No one seems to want to buy the ones painted like smiley faces that I see out the window of the bus every day (in the event I am not dozing off that day... sometimes after school I just can't help it and my eyelids come together...).

A guy behind the counter in the game store suggested that I guy Banjo-Tooie because it was extremely rare. I bought it. Turned out that there were plenty on ebay that I could've bought for cheaper.

I wasn't being negative to him for being 8. I was just saying he should'nt be talking bad about stuff he doesn't understand. Being young isn't a very good excuse for acting like you know everything about something when you clearly don't. If he wasn't 8, I'd flame him, but I didn't.

So yesterday I decided it would be a good idea to drink half a bottle of Captain Morgan in an hour and a half.

Today, I decided that it wasn't such a good idea. At all.

Thing I learned from this is that I don't think I want to drink at all anymore. It's just not fun while you're drunk and even less fun afterwards. I think I need to head back off to bed now. Ugh.

They are not devil worshipers. See the YTMND for details. And it's true! It's even on Wikipedia(Not that they're evil but the truth). And here is the YTMND. http://theunfunnytruth.ytmnd.com

There's a new #1 on my "Top Nine People I Must Stab in my Daydreams" list. Mr. Maclelland, the P.E. teacher. Freakin' crackhead gives the whole class detention because "The majority was loud and off task." So? I'm quieter than the quietest mouse and I was supposed to go to A&W for G-Dawg's birthday tomorrow. I notify him of this, "Hey, Brandon and I have a birthday party to go to at lunch tomorrow. Punishing us all isn't fair," and he KNOWS that Brandon and I never say anything in class, but ohhh "I'm sorry, but these other the majority of the class was loud and off-task." "That's not good enough. Half of the people who deserved this punishment won't even show up, only the good people who don't want further punishment will. So you're essentially punishing the good kids for no reason. If that's the case, why should we listen to you? If you're just going to do this, shouldn't we give you a reason to? I bet you're thinking, 'If you're a good kid you're probably a nerd with no friends and nothing to do at lunch anyway,' let me inform you that even nerds like me have friends with birthdays and moms with cars. I'll show up tomorrow but there's no possible way you're falling off of my Top 9 until I'm 27 years old." I thought that last part to myself, looking at him as he talked. I hope my eyes and voice had enough apparent rage in them when I actually did say the first part. Yeah, I understand how P.E. teachers are P.E. teachers for a reason, desiring to be out in the open where there's no echoing of voices and how being cooped up in a classroom just infects their hearts, but does he think we like it any better? Go to the store and buy some goldfish to take it out on. I'm not your goldfish. I let G-Dawg know that I'm being held captive by my narrow-minded peice of a crap of a teacher for the first 20 minutes of lunch and us two won't be able to make it, but I'll still give you your present tomorrow and hope you can have it moved to friday, but come on. That's no fun--opening a present in wood shop before everyone else gets there? No fun. No. This was meant to be opened in A&W, can't you see? Your birthday this year was ruined by #2 on my top 9. He had his cell phone out in class, and when it was noticed "Okay, you all have detention." So now I have to verbally torture that boy any time I see him... not with swearing. I'm not a jerk... but with "I hate you. Go play in the road. Eat some anthrax on Halloween. Choke on cigarette smoke when some sweaty guy is smoking in front of his house. Run with scissors. Se what happens when you stick this wire in the running toaster. Trip over a shoelace and fall in a manhole. Get in a power tool mishap and bleed to death. Put a fork in the microwave. Swallow that mushroom in the grass..." Man. It's just a chain reaction. Maybe I should print this and hand it to that teacher.

Yeah, the problem with gym teachers is that the students are usually all standing up in a gym and not sitting in desks in a classroom, so when you stage a revolt, it's not like you stand up before everybody, proclaim your disgust and walk out.  You just sort of say it as loud as other people are talking and walk out only half-noticed.

I've walked out of classes before.  Not that I missed anything important, but I kinda wish I wasn't so... well, walk-out-of-class-ish. 

In American Literature, this was when I was on medication, we spent a HALF HOUR arguing about how the teacher didn't tell us to bring the book so the majority of the class didn't have theirs but the teacher was arguing that it should be expected that we'd need the textbook for the class, but everyone said that without a prior warning they wouldn't try to bring it because the book is so heavy.  Finally I raise my hand and ask to go to the bathroom, and he says, "And miss this heated discussion?"  That's when I start talking loudly and quickly, explaining that this stupid discussion was the reson I wanted to go to the bathroom because I had no reason to sit there and not learn anything while everyone talked about books they did or didn't bring while I brought the stupid book myself and didn't want to be stuck listening to something that didn't apply to me for the rest of the period.  When I stopped everyone was staring, amazed, but he let me go to the bathroom because I had my book.  Once I got outside the classroom, I heard everyone laugh.

Another time I was in Psychology class, and I didn't really like that class because I didn't really like any of the guys there.  Luckily the class was mostly girls that were pretty... well, pretty.  Anyway, I'm one of those people that talks to himself, in public, often with a different voice every now and then.  So often times people laugh at me and ask why I do that.  Normally I just make up some excuse and try to ignore those people, especially when the people try to whisper to me to turn around so they can ask me again or do something involving me being made fun of.  Finally one period when they were poking me with a crutch, I just grabberd my bag and walked outside.  It got really quiet when I left, really intense-like.  The teacher sent out the wrong people to apologize, I mumbled something and left that hallway, and then the bell rang.  In my next period I had to go see my counselor, where I explained that I just left because I was irritated that day and it really wasn't those other people's faults, and so nothing really happened.

I wish people didn't lose credibility when speaking in a funny voice.

Post by: Mr. Melee on September 28, 2006, 02:03:12 PM
First, I would like to mention that I took the time to A) Read both of your posts, and B) Be amazed at BirdPerson's rant. I would like to say that your guys' posts combine to form MY rant.

My gym teacher is a moron. We were waiting at the gym when a bunch of people my class say, "we have to meet in the health room." I'm surprised and disappointed, because I really wanted to have gym for two periods like normal (used to be one). So, I head off to the classroom for the reason I immediately learn is to take attendance. What!?!?! Our old gym teacher (who I greatly miss) would always take attendance in the gym. Instead, our gym teacher (who periodically forgets what assignments he gave us and tells us to turn in what we DIDN'T DO) sits us down and takes attendance. He then says that we must grade tests. A bunch of people, including myself, blurt out that we already did this, as we took tests on Monday and graded them the same day. He says we didn't, even after he looked at the numbers signifying the number wrong on each student's test. Well, we do that, and people start talking. While we are wondering when we're going to have gym (as he usually makes us work-out for 10 min, which wastes time) our teacher is sitting down appearing to do nothing. All of a sudden he tells us to be quiet. Now, understand that most teachers give more than one chance for their students to be quiet, mainly because they probably don't want to take something away from them. Instead, when two girls start to talk loudly, he gets up and raises his voice, saying, "OK, grab your textbooks and sit back down. You don't have gym." The whole class erupts, including me, in a rage over not getting gym, which, last year, we didn't get too often. So, he says to be quiet, and everyone gets up very angrily to grab their textbooks. He pauses again, wondering what to do, and then tells us to open the book. Now, I'm very ticked off at this point, as usually teachers will say, "do you think you can behave now?" Instead, we talk quietly, and he says again, "no gym for the next week, also." I am in a complete outrage. At this point, I feel like going stealth and hitting him in the head with a paper ball. I almost decide to, especially when he says that we don't have gym for the next two weeks. I keep leaning over to my friend beside me to tell him how much of a jerk, idiot, and moron he is. This is also the point where everyone in the class wishes to have our old teacher back (who was an awesome teacher that listened to Phish and farted proudly, declaring it to the whole class just before take-off). So, we sit there and do work for 44 minutes of time, when we should be in the gym playing football and dodgeball. When the break between periods comes, everyone goes outside and explodes in conversation over how stupid he is (I then learn that it is required by law that every public school has gym; unfortunately, that doesn't apply to our school). We go back inside and continue where we left off. Now that I think back, I remember asking him why he did not give us a second chance. He replied, "How many chances do you need?" He only gave us ONE FREAKING CHANCE. I am very frustrated, and it will remain this way until lunch is over. After having a wonderful lunch involving a Hot Pocket Sub (Pepperoni Pizza) and peanut butter fudge, he allows us to have gym. However, our honors class is blocked between two periods and lunch, so we have a 66-minute long first period and a 22-minute long second period (no, we do not have lunch after first period). So, we get to play football for twnety-two minutes. At this point, I am now grateful to have any gym at all. Well, our gym got ruined, too. A girl took our football and hit a light, causing it to fall and shatter. So, with less boundaries and a cramped space, football isn't too much fun anymore.

So, in conclusion, I am very ticked off at both my science teacher and now my gym teacher. My science teacher is boring, dry, and gives a lot of homework and too many projects in just one week. She also reminds me of the voice of the ticket lady at Funworld in the movie "Bebe's Kids" (a great movie). You already know the deal with my gym teacher, so thanks for reading if you did (I also apologize in advance for any typos in this rant).

After reading BirdPerson's and Melee's post, I feel the need to say I just hate Phys. Ed. in general.

The okay thing about Phys. Ed. for the past couple of years for me was the fact that you got to choose whatever block (containing different types of sports, the last block containing the least competetive) you wanted to (unless you were a freshman). I always chose the last one, the most competetive sport we had to play was volleyball.

Unfortunately, that system was thrown out of the window this year. Now, there are classes that are groups of freshman and sophomores, and groups of juniors and seniors. Now, I have to play with jocks again, something I didn't have to do since 9th grade. Also, participation plays a bigger role in grades now. Previously, if you just changed and took part just a little in class, you'd do fine. Now, you really have to play. If you don't know how to play, you'll find yourself in a pickle. I happen to be in such a case, I didn't even know the sport "Soccer Speedball" existed until the teacher asked us to play either that, Soccer, or some other sport which I forgot.

The only thing about P.E. which I REALLY enjoyed was the square dancing. It's fun, you don't have to change, and um, I like it. Of course, the jocks think if they square dance, they'll become homosexuals, apparently. One of the stupidest things I've ever heard. :P

It would be very nice if both you and Mr. Melee could split your rants into paragraphs like Markio did. Then I wouldn't have to reread your ranting at the end of every sentence.

So a lot of you hated P.E. eh? I never really had a problem with it. Usually I'd just do what I had to do and I managed to pass. I was pretty mediocore in many of the sports though.

I must say though, coolkid's comment on Wikipedia being 99.9% accurate gave me a laugh. The number is way lower than that.

Just as I suspected, only all the disgruntled good kids and a few of the deserving kids showed up at detention. So at 7th period, he announces "Too many people didn't show, so I can't possibly make that many referrals (the one thing I was avoiding by attending this injustice in the first place). Instead, I'll give the people who didn't show a chance tomorrow, and those who didn't come for either will have 5 points deducted from this test."
"Five points deducted from this test."
"Five points deducted from this test."
Great. Had I known this, I'd've GLADLY skipped BOTH detentions! There were even FIVE POINTS EXTRA CREDIT at the end of it, which I couldn't possibly have gotten wrong! I can afford five points off of one lousy test not even worth 18% of the grade. That's NOT enough punishment for the bad kids. No. And unfortunately, I laugh every time I look at him now--he did several things that aided in my imaginative stabbing/destruction today, including
-Reaching down to grab a paper. I imagined him grabbing a dagger and stiking it in his face.
-Adjusting his glasses. I pictured him moving a dagger from his nose to the back of his head.
-Sitting with his back to a pipe that disappears into the wall about halfway down it. I pictured the pipe exploding.
-Standing under a rather large air conditioner-box. I imagine it falling and crushing him.
Fortunately G-Dawg got his mom to move the A&W trip to monday. It wasn't as fun giving him Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 in wood shop, but whatever.

Crappy teachers, BP and Melee.

Well, my teacher gave me 15 lessons of Algebra 1 to do, a book report (worth a LOT of my grade I can't remember), 6 writing lessons, 20 pages of literature (workbook, vocabulary, grammar, about the story), 2 sports articles, and a PE Log.

FOR TWO WEEKS ONLY!

Of all of that, I've only finished

- 20 pages of litereature
- 4 writing lessons
- 7 lesson of math
- half a book report

And I'm fasting, so the PE is extra hard for me. I'll pass out trying to do two hours a day. (I'M HUNGRY no water, no food till' sunset).

And this is only my third week in 8th grade! WHY IS HE SO CRUEL?!?

Can't he be a LITTLE more considerate about my fasting? My last teacher was. As far as I know, he doesn't CARE.

PS.
Since my Best Friend said she'd do all the math he gave her (She's GOOD in math, literature for me), he also gave me all the math she asked for. He asked me nothing. I was so mad.

P.P.S.
I drew a picture of him hanging.

My angst right now is that, well, my friend is going out with this one girl and is flaunting it everywhere like it's some kind of advertisment.  I know this is something a friend should normally be happy about, but let me tell you the whole (but kind of long) story.  This girl is fiends with my friend.  They would talk about me, and he said she liked me.  For instance, I could always feel her looking at me, it was really creepy for a while.  Then everyone was telling me that she said she loved me.  Then my friend and other people were telling me to ask her out.  But I didn't want to because I hardly even knew who she was, I only knew her through my friend.  And we barely ever shared words in person.  I said I would think about asking her out for a while.  Then one day she IMed me saying she loved me and all the crap.  And I never said anything to her after that talk.  Then I read her profile, and she has a post from her best friend on there talking about me.  The post was saying that once she found someone that she would be all  happy and that I would be bummed out and all this annoying annoying crap that makes me want to break stuff.  Well, now my friend is going out with her, and she is doing it to make me mad, and I tell myself that I have nothing to do with it, but my anger overrides that voice in my head.  It just makes me so mad that someone would use another person (my best friend) to get at me or back at me, it is immature.  But the thing that makes me the madest is that it is kind of working.  urrrgggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I need to get into a fight.

I normally get up at about 7 to take a shower before school.  Plus, it helps me wake up.  I don't always shave, mainly because I'm lazy, and I will shave only every few days or so.  But I felt rather Hobo-ish, so I thought I should clean myself up a bit.  Unfortunately, I woke up a little late, and had to literally run to the shower.  I think I might have hurt my neck when I threw my head back to rinse the shampoo.  But I jumped out, went to wake my father, and went back into the bathroom.  It's about 7:35, I have to be IN CLASS at 7:55, which I never know when that is by my watch.

*side note:  My watch works just fine, but my new principal doesn't know her...well, she's not really organized.  So 7:55 ranges anywhere from 7:49 until 8:05.  Alright, back to the story.

Well, I grab the shave gel, and try to be quick yet safe.  Well, it would have worked so much better if I had a perfectly smooth face.  Granted, I don't have horrible acne, but even when I have all the time I want, accidents happen.  So now I nicked my cheek, and I'm still running late.  I get my father up, get to school, and rush up to my math class, and it turns out it was closer to the 8:05 bell.  And, in all my rushing, I forgot my AP US book, so my teacher kinda yelled at me.  Not too badly, since we only needed to check a couple of dates, but he felt like reminding all of us that we should bring it every day.

I have ANGST because of the racism at my school, and getting treated differently by some classmates for being black.
Yesterday a classmate asked me if the N word was offensive, " because I would know. " And another clasmate was pointing to all the black people in my class ( including me ) and was calling us...umm..I'll just say "names".
I did'nt know I'd have to put up with this crap at my school, but I'll live. Not like I'm the only Haitian in the class...

Stand up and point the kid out to the entire class, humiliate him in front of everybody.  Believe me, it works.....  As for my friend, I think I'm going to ignore him for a long time until he gets the idea that he needs to shape up.  It isn't the fact of the girl anymore, I could care less about that, it's a whole bunch of things mixed together, lets just say he's a jerk, but he deserves to be called something a lot stronger than that to represent the way he has been acting lately.  But unfortunatly, I can't say it in this forum.

Ok, so I'm currently making a reasonable amount of money playing poker over the internet right now.

Yesterday someone in Congress managed to pass a bill that highly limits the transactions people can make on internet gaming sites. This essentially means that all the "bad" players who usually buy into the games with a credit card can't play anymore, and the standard of ability online with get to the point where it's no longer profitable to play online. This obviously angers me, but the worst part isn't the bill itself, it is how it was actually passed.

Senator Bill Frist didn't convince the Senate that online gaming was a societal evil. Oh no. He managed to instead get this bill attached as a rider to a bill on port security that

a) had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with internet gambling
b) was almost certainly getting passed regardless of what was attached to it.

So, way to go, Senator Frist. Way to get your hypocritical beliefs passed with the most underhanded of methods. Way to go, U.S. Goverment, for being so incredibly inefficient and outright BAD and allowing your officials to pass these things in manners like this. And way to go, populace, for electing officials who take pride in limiting your freedoms by any means necessary.

God bless America.

Thanks for the advice.
I can relate to your situation though, it's happened a number of times to me, and my cousin's the one that I'm supposed to be jealous of for dating a girl that likes me. I don't care, but somehow, I can't help but have ANGST over it anyway. Why are you angry at your friend? Is he acting show offy about having a girlfriend that justs wants to make you jealous? Or are you angry because he's dating her?

I have been robbed of $305 of my own electronics.

I came home on Friday to the house looking messier than usual. My Bible lay on the floor opened, and a pack of Spearmint Dentyne was on the floor, too. Things got extra weird when I saw the spinning holder part of my guitar stand just there on the floor. Well, I go upstairs and notice the closet door open. Not unusual; my dad always has it ajar. However, I enter my room. My Gamecube was missing. I am freaked out. My Wavebird and uselss Animal Crossing membeory card are there, along with all of my games, but the Gamecube, my memory card, my adapter to the Wavebird controller, and my two controllers are missing. I call my dad and ask him where my Gamecube is. He says he doesn't know. I tell him it's gone. Silence.

We start talking about what happened, as we now know that we were robbed. He tells me to go downstairs, as we're trying to figure out how they got in. The front door was locked. The back door was unlocked and ajar. I go back upstairs, and I discover my mp3 player and my noise-cancelling headphones missing. I also see the other part of guitar stand in the middle of the room, probably intended to be used as a weapon. Apparently, the teens were only looking for pleasing stuff (luckily, they miussed my DS on the floor). They looked everywhere (our rooms, cabinets, my CD case [no CD's stolen; guess they're the people who hate rock and love pop/ rap], under my dad's bed [they knocked down his clock-radio and unplugged his phone], in our DVD cabinet, and in our incencse bottle, leaving the top on the floor). I am now officially ticked off.

I knew Gamecubes are worth close to dirt now ($20 non-in-store credit, $25 in-store credit), and I didn't mind about the gum (must have teenager,s my dad says at this point, because 10-11 packs of Dentyne Spearmint gum are missing, while my dad's credit cards are still there). But, that particular mp3 player cost me $66 on eBay (Sandisk Sansa m240 series 1 GB mp3 player), and the noise-cancelling headphones (Philips Foldable noise-cancelling headphones) cost me $26. That stuff at Best Buy costs the same for the mp3 player, but $54 more for the headphones. At this point, I'm ready to track them down and beat the crap out of them, asking them why.

So, in conclusion, the teenagers (one caucasian, one Mexican) stole $305 (according to their price at stores) of my electronics between 11 a.m. and 12 p.m. How do I know this? One of our friendly neighbors saw them trying to jump their fence with the backpack jutting with wires and electronics, too big to zip up. He took the backpack after they dropped it and, believeing the criminals' lies, gave it back. Once I heard this, I was happy that we have a description of the burglars and that we know they probably go to a local Catholic school (the Catholic school/s had the day off), but stunned that our neighbor had my stuff in there hand but gave it back to the burglars. Currently, we cannot tell the local detectives the new info., as they're off on the weekends. I originally couldn't wait for the weekend. Now I can't wait until Monday. Please pray for me and the local police as they try to give these people what they deserve: justice. Thanks again if you read.

I don't think I can even begin to imagine how much that must suck.  Well, I am going to ignore my friend and stuff because this whole thing has been a wake-up call to me.  I just notice the way he treats me, it isn't really the way I treat him, I treat him better than that.  He doesn't really treat me the way a friend is supposed to treat another friend.  For example, if I start talking about something that interest's me but does not interest him, he would say "Dude that's gay." or other things along that line.  Whereas I would get into a whole conversation with him about something that interests him, but not me....  I know it may sound like He's my friend but I'm not his friend, but we have been friends since 1st grade, we were inseperable.  Another example is, in the begining of september, he joined a band with a kid that I really hate (and I can almost say that he is begining to act like this kid).  And now they're making money off gigs and stuff, and all the other rock'n'roll glamour.  It isn't the fact that he is in it with the kid I don't like, but in the summer, I saved up a whole bunch of money that I made working.  And with this money, I bought a bass so that I could practice, and he and I can jam, and eventually by december, start a band.  I saved up all my fricken money and now he and I can't be in a band together, because the other kid whom which I have always hated doesn't want him to.  

This isn't even half of the story, on my birthday, he wanted to come to my house, but he could only come to my house if he went to dinner with us at my favorite resteraunt.  He had to because otherwise it would be too hard for my parents to pick him up, which we had to do.  But the kid whom which I hate wanted him to go to practice with the band.  And my friend didn't want to make him mad (he told me this).  And my Dad who was frusterated with what was going on, proposed the question to me, WHY WASN'T MY FRIEND CONCERNED ABOUT MAKING ME MAD? Why was my friend afraid of making someone mad that was just a hang around buddy, but not afraid of making his best friend mad?  This question chews me and chews me, I cannot figure out if he actually considers me his friend anymore.  I have a lot of friends in school, I'm cool with a bunch of people, but as for having any sort of friendly relationship outside of school besides with my best friend, no, I don't go to anyones house, or meet anyone anywhere, but my best friend.  And the other friend I do have, and did go to his house, is still my friend, but I can't go to his house because his mom hates me.  It seems to me that I need to get some new friends.  If I still can.

Um, from re-reading the first paragraph, I think I can say they DID take his Gamecube. :P

Back where I used to live, when I was about 4 or 5, I cannot remember, we were a victim of a robbery. We were coming back from somewhere, I think a McDonald's. We opened the door, and the door that took you from the porch to the living room had one of its glasses broken. My mother went upstairs to her room to find some of her jewelry stolen. I believe that was pretty much all that was stolen, I don't remember being too bummed about it.

Great. More ANGST about the robbery. Turns out the jerks stole my dad's camera and lenses. Although. I say, "screw thembecause the camera was broken! However, the lenses, one of them at least worth over $100, all were in wroking condition. But, aboutthe camera, the insurance company doesn't know... Still, the camera was a film camera, so in the case the insurance covers some of the amount stolen (it won't happen. I WILL find the criminals and get back my stuff, and that's a promise), it won't be a lot. * Mr.Melee sighs. I hope this will all be over soon.

I was nearly completed, when suddenly my wrist accidentally pressed a button on my keyboard, and the computer deletes my message!!!! 0:< No message box asking "Are you sure you'd like to delete this message ?" I just refreshs the page, with no PM to speak of. I know the computer technically refreshed the page, and it didn't know it would delete my message, but still.

Sorr to hear about that, BP. If I were getting a Wii now too, I would hate to be in the same line you are likely going to be waiting in.. :)

.. and now some driving ANGST! (if you don't/can't drive, I guess you can overlook this post, then..)

It seems like people in my town don't know how to use their blinkers, as every single time someone was infront of me the last couple of days, and wanted to turn, they either suddenly changed lanes (almost causing me to rear end them), or turned their blinkers on at the very last second (also aloms causing me to rear end them).

People in this backwards, redneck town also seem to drive on their brakes. I've been behind some really stupid people that were going 20 under the speed limit (no, that's not an exaggeration) while traffic builds up behind them, and they insist upon putting thier brakes on for no good reason at all!

It is a pain in the butt to bring myself to drive across town to my parents (which is where I am now, since I have no Internet access at my apartment), but I have to if I want to continue to communicate with my classmates and the Fungi Forums. Excuse me while I yell out in frustration..

Yeeaarrgh!

Sorry, I do feel better now. [/ANGST]

I know how you feel. I was gone when they started preordering the Wii, and my mom didn't get the message on the answering machine about it until the next day. However, she felt really bad about it and promised me one, somehow, someway on the realease (I'm paying, of course).

My friend's sister almost died the other day due to some idiot's own ignorance. Yesterday on the 72dpiarmy boards, one of my friend's sister went to the website to download something for her PSP. She looked at the post of some idiot, and his avatar was blinking on and off very rapidly. She immediatly had a seizure. If her brother hadn't been there while she had the seizure, she would've died. But there's more: my friend politely asked that guy to change his avatar. That idiot's responce: "no lol its my avatr i keep it likethat". My friend (whose internet name is Sykotic) asked him again, and the guy with the blinking avatar immediatly flamed him and started swearing at him. That was about 30 minutes prior to Sykotic's sister viewing that darn avatar.

I'm also very, very sad because my dear beloved uncle, whom I was very close to, passed away this morning. It was a very emotional event. He died in the hospital down the street from me. I cried my eyes out. His janaza is to be held this week.

You know, while his response to your PM was inappropriate, it's not exactly his fault your sister's friend had a seizure. He had no way of knowing she'd be affected by something like that. Your blowing the incident way out of proportion. A ban over a complete accident seems a little extreme.

Well, my family pretty much is at war now. Ever since my grandfather died four years ago, my family has been through some tough times, and my grandfather's siblings' families split up. Well, now my great uncle passed away 8 days ago, without mine or my dad's knowledge. It's pretty sad, since we didn't get to go to his funeral, and now my dad called me, crying, with disgust, for that side of the family. I think after my dad stops greiving, the real trouble will be on its way...

I am very ANGST today. Last night on MSN, I had an encounter with an imposter. Let me give you some more information. Yesterday, one of my friends (I'll call him 'Zash') posted a totally idiotic message. I MSN'd him and asked him what he was thinking, and he replied "uhhh idk". I knew something was wrong, as he normally typed with good grammar. I continued, asked him what was going on until I knew something was wrong. I asked "Who are you, and what did you do with the real Zash?" and he replied "fine ill admit it i hacked into his account". At this point I'm like 'OMG WTD'. It continued, until it got to the point where we started a flame war. I constantly said "Get off of his account" and the hacker was telling me about how he was stealing over 70 GB of credit card numbers, information and all that kind of stuff. Well, now, I have a strong team of people on my side trying to reveal the identity of this hacker and trying to get him off of Zash's account. Now, we know one thing: he's from Belgium. I'm going to need some more help. PM me for more info.

If the guy admits to you of all people that he's a hacker, a thief and his location, then he probably isn't that smart at all. Sounds like it's an annoying relative of his that's messing with you.

And now, some ANGST of my own! It's homecoming tomorrow!

"What's the big deal," you ask? Well, I'm on court. And it was never my intention to be. I'm just that cool in the eyes of my teachers, who select the court people from a list generated by students. Students vote for king and queen.

But I don't want to be on court! It might be good for college applications or something, but is it worth having to go to a dance for? I don't have a date, and I probably won't have much friends there, and I really dislike dances anyway. Crowded, smelly, locked in, bad refreshments, and nothing to do but sit around and wish I had ear plugs while people are harassing me in various ways. Well, that's what my last dance was like. Truth be told, not having a date isn't so bad, because I won't be responsible for the suffering of somebody else. Or will I? I've been told that there's one dance part where I have to dance with my counterpart from the court. I'm dreading it with every part in my body... With the exception of my throat, which has always been too irritated to worry about anything else.

While I just got rid of AOL, which is nice, the wireless LAN the guy brought over doesn't seem to be working too well with my computer.  I haven't tried too much, but it says it's only going at about 50%.  Of course, I don't really know anything about it, so that might be normal.  Oh well, I have the weekend to try it out.

Also, I woke up late today...like, 1pm late.  At that point, it was useless to try and get there, since my school has an odd idea where if you're late, you have to sit in the auditorium for the whole block.  SO, even if I went, I wouldn't be able to be in any class.  This is bad

What's even worse is, this was the end of the marking period, and I had a lot of work due.  Most of my teachers are tough on work being late, only allowing it late (as in after the beginning of class) if I have a legal excuse ready.  Sleeping in doesn't count.  So now, I'm going to fail probably 3 of my 5 classes this marking period.

Blah. Well, there's this one really weird kid at school who has this habit of picking his nose and wiping it on people's shirts (he's a special education kid), and me and some of my friends were at lunch today and that mentally challenged kid comes over and sits down. So I warn some of my friends that he might try to do something weird to them, and well... here's how it went.

Me: Why are you talking to him? He might blow his nose on you...
Friend 1: He's not that bad! You're just jelous 'cause you're gay and he's not! (I am, by definition, not gay. But I am unpopular.).
Me: Excuse me? What the-
Friend 2: Ooh, look at me! I'm Chad! I go around saying swears all the time! (I do not swear... very often. But it's not a 'heavy' swear, only like the "h" word or the "d" word or something).
Friend 1: *Laugh*
Friend 2: *censored*
Me: ...? I don't-
Friend 2: And all I talk about is drugs! (False comment) Drugs, drugs, drugs...
Friend 1: You suck, Chad! Go *censored*!
Mentally challenged guy: I bet he has a lot of prac, prcat, practice!
Me: I thought you were my friends... I can see you're not.
Friend 1: Wow, I'm so scared! Chad's gonna remove me from his friend list!
Friend 2: "Friend" list? I wonder what that is!
Mentally challenged guy: His mom's at the top of the list!

At this point, I'm furious. These "friends" will eventually get what's coming to them. So, I reach over into my friend's lunch sack while he's not looking, and quickly pull out a block of ice used to keep his lunch fresh. I hit him in the head, then throw it so it might hit the other guy's head, but it misses.

Friend 1: Woah! You almost hit me!
Friend 2: What the *censored*!? What's wrong with you!?

Then friend 2 grabs my neck in such a way that I couldn't get any air. I reach over and grab a can of Brisk, and attempt to throw it at his face. He lets go, and I get away from him.

Friend 1: Woah, Joe, you okay?
Friend 2: Yeah, the only bad thing is that Mr. Homo over there gave me a concussion.

Friend 2 trys to vomit to make it more realistic, but he fails. Miserably.

Me: Excuse me? You're acting like he did nothing! He did do something. I'll make a giant list for you.

Let's see what he did:
1. Pour crap into my drink at lunch... EVERY DAY.
2. Shoot me with an electronic UZI airsoft gun.
3. Make me look like I was... well, never mind.
4. Push me into a stall where the toilet was full of distgusting things.
5. Push me into the girl's bathroom.
6. Push my school work deep into the girl's changing room.
7. Steal pretty much everything in my locker.

After I told him, he was like:
Friend 2: That's nothing compared to what you did to me.
Me: What did I do to you?
Friend 1: You gayed up all of his stuff...
Friend 2: Uh, yeah! Yeah! That's what you did!
Me: *shouts profanities at those two traitors*

I leave to go outside, to try to formulate a plan to get revenge. So far, I've got 1, but it will require an accomplist. If anybody has any ideas for ways to get back at them, let me know.

I am sorry, Luigison. I've lost family memebers pretty recently myself (none to a heart attack/stroke, however), so I feel for you. We lost my dad's dad just over a year ago. He was well into the second stages of Alzheimer's, and before he.. left.. he would have good days and bad days. I remember a particular bad day that I was told about.. He didn't remember who grandma (dad's mom) was, and kept asking her what she was doing in his house. She just went with it, but it was still sad. I do remember him apologizing for that, too.

I am filled with a great deal of ANGST!

Our house stinks. While I was at Lower Columbia College, these things happened:

My mother put some soup in the microwave and used the "Keep Warm" function, for when my father would come home. She asked my brother if he wanted to go to the store. My brother, who was playing Battlefront II, declined, leaving him alone in the house. Not too long after she left, the unthinkable happened. The microwave caught fire, setting off every fire alarm in the house. "Good thing your  brother was there to stop it!" some might think. But what did that genius do? He kept playing Battlefront until he could actually smell the burnt soup and fizzing microwave parts! By the time he turned it off and unplugged it, the whole house stunk horribly and a large amount of smoke-related streaks were formed on the wall behind the microwave.

Now I'm writing an essay on a Newsweek article with a wet washcloth draped over my nose. This... stinks.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: BP on October 26, 2006, 11:02:29 PM
Yeesh. Never set fire to a microwave before, myself... Toasters, yes. The first toaster we had met its doom to my favorite Pop Tarts, the s'mores kind. I guess there was a hole or something and the marshmallow caught fire. The next toaster we got was a toaster oven, which I really kind of hated. I don't remember how, but I managed to ignite that one as well. The next toaser was another terrible toaster oven that would either do nothing or burn whatever you were making. Never in between. I like the toaster we've got now, a standard pop-up one with four slots for two individual simultaneous toasting sessions at different power levels. Ohh yeaahhhh...
I have no sympathetic words, or suggestions on what to do.

Day two and the stench hasn't gone away. At least nobody has destroyed multiple toaster ovens in this household...

Another ANGST, not too long after I posted last time:
  I had to go upstairs, through the dreadful and stronger smell and darkness up to my room. While holding onto a glass of water, acid reflux medication (to ensure I don't further damage my vocal chords), and MP3 player, I slipped in a plastic box. Having both hands full, I landed squarely on my posterior inside the plastic box. Getting to sleep wasn't easy; there was the smell of smoke and burnt soup to deal with and also a bruised rear end. Sitting is unconfortable today, to say the least.

On the reverse ANGST side of things, I found my calculus notes that I need to turn in today. Now I'm not so unhappy.

The very first time I use the Wifi adapter to play MPH, and I forget to turn off the automatic Stand-by timer.  Midway through my 3rd round with some guy who was wailing on me with Trace, and I see the computer go black, and a message that there are not enough players.  I got kinda annoyed with myself, and when I boosted the timer to '2 hours', I must have hit something, because then the whole screen looks...funky.  I must have changed something about the background, because where the bottom should have been was about the middle, with all the icons black.  a few minutes later, it was fixed, but I would still have prefered to have continued playing my game, even if I was getting beat badly.

Edit:  And now, the cherry on top, I can't connect to find a game.  I don't know why it's doing this again, but I'm getting the same message.  It doesn't make sense for it to work one time, then not work another a few minutes later.

I'm not sure if angst is the right word for it, but I worry about my dad.  He always called my step-mother before lunch and before coming home from work.  He ate lunch at home with her most days too.  Now he's all alone in a house full of her stuff.

She'd been collecting dishes and books for her kids, grandkids, etc.  My step-mother didn't want anything gone through for at least two weeks after she was gone.  Now  that most of the family has gone back to their homes he has to sort all of stuff out almost completely on his own. 

On top of all of all that her clinically crazy brother is still living in a camper at my dads house.  He had attacked my step-mother at least once and is there because he was put in her custody after something happened with the police.  Now my dad has to get him off the property before he hurts anyone else. 

Edit:  BTW, this was my step-mother's only post here:  http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?action=profile;u=58270;sa=showPosts  She never got to hold Hannah, but at least she saw her on the web cam once and saw some pictures.

The ones in Melee gave me a big jump and I wouldn't want seeing them again. I even think like likes are scarier than ReDeads.

It's just a disturbing image.

Do what people who don't reserve do--camp out in front on opening day! No, duct tape yourself to the door. Over the knob/handle, that way you'll have to be woken up before anyone gets in. Or get in before closing on the 18th, hide under something, and just wait. Wait patiently. Wait silently. The door opens, pop up in front of that counter and say, "WII!!" They'll say "Holy crap! How'd you get in so quickly?" Say, "I warped."
No, really. I don't think they put up every single one for reservation. Show up before opening.

I can walk to the Toys R Us by me on opening day in 10 minutes. Then I would get a few groceries from the store by it and I'll wait and snack on stuff by the door. Make myself a slave to waiting and snacking. XD XD XD

The Chef, flaming like that isn't necessary. Or cool. Anyway, yeah. Like Likes are those nasty-looking tube things that suck you into them and eat your shield and any special tunic you were wearing (no, Link doesn't come out naked, just wearing the Kokiri Tunic). It can't eat a shield you can't buy from the store. They live in dungeons and look almost like mutant fungus. In The Minish Cap, they look really different and there's a variation that disguises itself as a rupee and if you get too close, it eats the ones you had.

Our gym teacher is INSANE. He thought it would be a good idea to go outside for P.E. today. He forgot one thing; IT'S ONLY 37 DEGREES OUT (Farenheight, or however you spell it)! And the worst part is that our gym uniform is just a t-shirt and pair of really short pants. For an hour, I couldn't feel my legs. And for 15 minutes, my hands couldn't function properly.

I have P.E. last period of the day, which has its pluses and minuses--It's never freezing (a minus), it's sometimes hot (a minus), none of the morons in the class can shut up at that time of day (a minus), the teacher is aggravated with other classes already and adds us to the stack (a minus), he hates us so if he holds us for even a couple of minutes after the bell, I could miss the bus (a minus). Oh, wait... P.E. is my least favorite class.
Weather... Yeah, it gets shivery in the mornings.

My mom tried her videos on videos media player, and they don't work, either! I've tried unplugging them, but no cigar. We think that the speakers might have blown, but we're not sure.

I have not been able to login to the Dojo of Pain for several days.  This is the second time I've had this problem.  Now a friend of mine also can't login.  From what we've been able to tell it appears the system blocks you if you get over 300 stars per day via links.  I'm getting a lot of link impressions because of StumbleUpon and he's getting them from Digg.  This suck.  We find social sites that get use lots of impressions and we get banned for it.  Last time Sensei reinstated my account, but I know he's been on twice today and hasn't said or done anything about it.  This really bugs be because all of the work I've put into this and the fact that I have two more videos to submit, but if he doesn't reinstate my account soon I'll miss the deadline and therefor my chances at getting a Wii this year.  Arrrgh!

Romance, useless?  Everyone needs someone of the opposite sex, wether its friend or really good friend.  Me, I can only count the number of girls I talk to in a single day on one hand, and I can't even put up all my fingers on that hand.  It seems everywhere I turn someone has someone else.  It makes me furious to the point I have to fight myself to stop me from punching something or someone in school.  And it feels as if I'm collapsing under the weight of my own genius.  Do you know how crappy it feels to love people and receive no love back by the end of the day?

Romance isn't useless, nor is it necessary. As long as you continue to be yourself, you can probably find someone. It seems like you're not being straightforward Masiah, so I'd suggest you do something about that. You can't wait around for a girl to come up to you, since it's usually the guy that makes the first move.

In actual angst-related news, I really need a DVR and Broadband....

I didn't say romance as a whole was useless. I meant that at the stage you are at (which about the same stage I'm at), it really isn't that important. You're really too hard on yourself. Just let those fools relish in their laughing, for they have no idea what talent you truly possess! (Whatever it may be. I don't know what it is as you didn't cleary tell me.)

Dude, I'll be twenty in about a month. My first girlfriend was second semester my senior year of high school. I've had none since then. I felt the same way as you -- then last weekend happened, and I realised:

Seriously, if you "try" too hard, someone's going to love you for who you're not. And that's really not love at all. So what if it takes you longer than most people -- if you feel "awkward" around a girl, there's probably a reason for it. And it's probably not entirely you (girls just try to make you think like that at your age. No, really).

Stop trying. There's my advice.

Well, with the demand of Wii so high, the big possibility of a sellout of the entire four million stock, and the problem that I have not sold anything on eBay yet, I will probably not be getting Wii on opening day. However, if Wii is sold out everywhere between now and Christmas (it happened with the X-BOX 360; it will most likely happen for Wii, too), I will buy one of those new 30GB Video iPods. Then, with the money I receive for my birthday, I will then get Wii. Or, it will be the other way around (which I hope for; I'd rather have Wii than an iPod). So, my ANGST is over not reserving Wii and the consequences that followed.

I have ANGST because I have to stay up most of the night and take an algebra test that is 3 hours long. I hope it doesn't take me the full three hours to take it, but it likely will, considering how much I stink at math..

I also have ANGST because I'm away from my fiancee. I saw her twice today, and the most contact that I've had with her was when she played with my hair at lunch, and a quick kiss before we left Walmart about an hour ago.

Oh well. I can go cuddle with her after I take my test.. :)

1. Get one on Black Friday.
2. Wake up reeeeeealy early to get a Wii on launch.

One's not happening, as I'll be out-of-town on that day, and if I actually manage to get it while I'm in Florida, it'll probably get damaged on the way back home. I'm not so sure about option 2, as my mom refuses to wake up at 5:30 AM, and my dad'll probably forget.

On my way to drop off Hannah's immunization records at the Y, I went by Best Buy and into Walmart.  It was kind of funny to see the PS3 lines with all the brand new tents.  In Walmart I was very surprised to see Wii controller, VC controllers, point cards, etc.  I grabbed a few things and headed to the counter.  I felt all fuzzy inside even though I would not have any use for anything I was buying until Sunday at the soonest.  That fuzzy feeling was shattered when the register flashed, "DO NOT SELL".  The clerk tried again.  Same results.  She said, "Oh, we can't sell these until the 19th."  She proceeded to put them away and take down everything from the Wii display.  Oh the sadness.  I mean ANGST.

So my parents have given the go-ahead for camping out -- a few issues, though:


Target opens at 8:00, and there are 120 at the local one. The surrounding area has, oh, around 500,000 people.

Well, my mp3 player finished at $54.26, with a combined selling total of $189.26. Add the $50 I already have and you get $239.26, or $10.74 short of Wii (not including tax and eBay fees). Well, for sure I will not be able to get Wii on opening day, so I have mild ANGST. However, I will get it very soon, after I sell my GBASP and Pokemon FireRed.

Wal*Mart sucks everything.  Also, families that abuse the policy suck. 

I got to the nearby Super Wal*Mar about 4.  When I got there, I went to the electronics section, where there was a sign saying that the line for the Wii is outside by the garden center.  I went to the garden center, asked the lady where the line is.  She said that there is a sign outside, and the line starts there.  Alright.  I go out, and I see the sign.  Thats all I see.  NO People in line.  So I think, Hmm, this is good.  If there is nobody there at 4, I could go have dinner and be back in 2 hours.  I go, have dinner, have a nice time.  I go back and find that there are still no people in line.  I find a nice girl planning on getting one for her brother.  We get in line UNDER THE SIGN.  The sign simply said "Line Starts Here  -->"  with it pointing toward us.  I'm sitting on the curb under the sign with her, followed by another guy who came up about 15 minutes later.  Then a large women in a van 2 spaces away said something about too late.  We didn't understand, mostly because she had a deep Slavic accent but she had rolled up her window again before we could ask.  We stand around for a while, and then a male with the same accent came up and asked us What we were doing.  Simply, we were waiting for the Wii.  No you aren't, the line is the row of cars.  I've been here since 9 pm last night.  Why should you get one for being here only a half hour when others have been here for many many hours.  (This was all bull, because by this time he came up to the three of us, we had all been there for over 2 hours.)  Right now a few things have happened.
A manager comes out and tells us that we are not in line.  The line is each parking spot gets 1 Wii.  There are now about 40 cars parked, with the store only getting thirty.  There were a lot fewer people when the three of us "got in line."  This all goes on for some time, with another manager coming out saying it is fine for people to park there cars and leave, so long as by five minutes before midnight, there is someone in the vehicle or space.  People came up to us many times saying they have been there for hours.  Only one group of teenage guys answered me when I asked if they had been there the entire time.  They had, in the cold, rainy, horrible weather, been outside waiting.  I flat out told them that I had no problem having them get the Wii before me.  They had been there for the full time, in line, in the cold.  I count that as in line.

The main problems I am having are, in no particular order,

After this fiasco, which resulted in my mother, the girl Nicky, her mother, and myself, trying to get some kind of satisfaction from the managers, but, then again, they're Wal*Mart managers.  Night shift managers.  I'm surprised they let them out of the zoo.  Any way, we left Wal*Mart at about 12:10, when I yelled at the Slavic family walking away with 4 Wii systems, and went to the EB down the street.  They only had Pre-orders, but were very nice, and understood what we (my mother and I) were talking about.  We then went up to the Best Buy, but it was closed.  So now, I'm going to take a nap, then at 6 am, my mother and I are going to drive everywhere in the state to find a Wii.  I don't care how far I go, if I have to beat up some Pennsylvanians, I am getting a Wii today.

This is nothing about me, but do you guys realize that this Christmas Day will mark the 10th anniversary of the murder of sweet, innocent Jonbenet Ramsey?  It's the saddest murder case I've ever heard of.  If I ever have a daughter who gets hurt or killed like this, I think I'd die.  Either that, or the killer would die, thanks to me.  I wish we could have had one of those "Duck Mr. Lincoln!" moments where someone could have saved her from the madman like Homer Simpson saved Abe Lincoln from John Wilkes Booth.  Another shocking thing:  Ever realize how the famous killers use their 3 names?  John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, supposed killer, but really attention starved John Mark Karr.  Strange, isn't it?

I want the Wii. My angst. Same as Vid's.

My best friend wants a Wii, and she's not even a gamer. She said she was looking at it all night yesterday. She also said "I want the Wii and you don't see me whining." (refering to me)

Only two don't have preorders, one of them was me. I wait an hour. The guys who work there show up and say there aren't any extras. We try the mall, and no. They're all ordered out.

The worst fanboys, however, are Zelda fanboys. They think it's like the best game ever and stuff and when I say I don't feel like getting Zelda, I get flamed, then when I say it's just a game, I get banned from the Zelda Club.

And people that are not in their right mind should be locked up in a mental institution or jail until they are or for the rest of their lives.  I don't understand the defense that they are crazy or don't know right from wrong so let's let them walk the streets to commit more crimes.  I understand temporary insanity, but most people that kill or molest children are screwed up in the head for life.

Your brain can make you do crazy things, and it shouldn't be their complete fault of what happened, they obviously they weren't in their right minds.  I am though, against people who lie and plead insanity.  I mean, you can't blame a person who has alzheimers for the murder they commited because of their false perception, they have a disease, and yes alzheimers will do that to you.  As for Psychopaths and Scizophrenics, I'm nuetral, it is a disease, but they can be helped, and anyone in their right mind can get a person they know who has the simptums of those diseases, can call and get them help.  So I guess my stand point is, the person who knew the psychopath murderer, and knew their problem, is just as guilty as the murderer.

I am supporting the real psychopaths because I think I may suffer from Manic Depression, meaning I can be really normal one minute and the next, I may not appear to have changed, but I feel like a totally different person.  I divided myself into 2 catagories, or persons.  One guy is the ss-masiah you are talking to now, I like to call him "Live and Let Live. Kyle"  The other guy is not around that often, but is a significant other,although I don't like him, I like to call him "Live and Let Die. Kyle".  Let me explain who they are.

"Live and Let Live" Kyle
-He loves music
-He is inspired by everything around him
-Likes to observe things from different points of view
-He likes to love, he loves everybody, but loves certain induviduals even more
-Likes peoples personalities, instead of their social stand-point or looks
-Likes art
-Likes to think that people live to create, and that the whole human being revolves around art and beauty, and yes, he thinks that to a degree, everything is good looking.
-Lets just say He is in love with everything and everything God has given him, basically a "Hippie"

"Live and Let Die" Kyle
-Will spend money to get a good high, even if it's only one trip
-He wants to fight someone, it has to be someone he hates, but he wants to know the thrill of punching someone who doesn't even know it's coming.
-He is annoyed by the littlest things
-He will steal something that he is going to use.  But not from anyone he knows.
-He could never kill anyone or even commit suicide, but always thinks of what would happen if he did.  And after he thinks of the consequences, he still admits he could never kill anything purposefully(this is one of the good traits about him, but even thinking about these things makes him feel bad)
-He often thinks of physical traits of people and dreams of a purely material or physical relationship, but admits this would make him very sad in the end, and would be ashamed of himself.  But keep in mind he always thinks about it.  Like it's in the back of his mind.
-He blames himself for not getting to know his Grandmother better, and Ultimatley blames himself for her death, even though he knows that she would highly disagree.  But still misses her and thinks that all the years of Earth couldn't take away the pain of missing her.


Well those were it, it is kind of hard to admit but I feel somewhat similar feeling of those all the time, I don't know what triggers them.  I can't get rid of them no matter how hard I try.  I will go on dry streaks though, without seeing the bad side of myself for a month or 2.  But I think that everyone has 2 persons in them to tell you the truth, its just a matter of how well they know them.

I'm sorry if I seem so obsessed with the whole child-killing thing.  The thing is...it just dawned on me that I'm probably only about a decade away from being a father myself.  I can't understand fathers who abuse their children, though I know it can stem from alcohol addiction.  A friend who I met at school this year has been living on her own since her freshman year, and she left because her dad abused her.  A guy like that is exactly the opposite of the man I was rasied to be.  I can feel nothing but sorrow for these unfortunate situations.

Post by: superstarMASIAH on November 21, 2006, 06:44:10 PM
I would never abuse the children of mine, but I could easily be frustrated, I guess it all depends on the state of mind I'm in.  But I assure myself and others that I could never abuse my children mentally or physically.  Child abuse can stem out from the person who is abusing to the children though, it could also be considered a family trait.  Although a kid that was abused too much could also hurt their children because they break the chain and are over protective.

GAAAAH! Why do eChecks take so long to process? Now, I can't get my almost certain Wii on Friday (Gamestop is receiving more on this Friday)! The projected time taken to process is 3-4 business days. Now, I can't get Wii this Friday, and I don't know when then ext shipment anywhere is. This is way too troubling. Everything is like a see-saw! I'm going to sell my cards, I haven't yet. My house got broken into, but I'll get the money. I won't get the money, but I'll get to sell on eBay.  I sell on eBay very well, but it'll take a long time to get the money into my PayPal account(which happened just today). I get the money, but it will take 3-4 days to actually be able to withdraw the money from my PayPal account to my bank account. Grr, this is horrible.

Plus, I can't get pictures onto the Forums, as every time I try to attach a picture, it says I'm trying to start a new blank topic. This will all change once I get that cable Internet, but I still have to wait a week for it.

I feel your pain, Mr.Melee. Once upon a time, I couldn't edit a post or else it would say I'm trying to start a blank topic.

My mom won't get me the Wii unless my dad pays for half. They are divorced. But in Feburary my mom said she would buy the Wii for me whenever it came out, instead of buying 2 NDS's for my sisters and I. Now she says my dad has to pay for half. I'm really nervous asking anyone to pay for anything for me, especially if it's this much. I got up enough courage to ask my mom to get it and 9 months later she says I have to ask my dad. More courage-gathering. But I can do it.

Now the fact that I have a first shipment Wii, and I've yet to connect to Nintendo's server, makes me fearful of even trying to do so. Also, I don't have an SD Card to transfer my data to, which effectively has me screwed over.

I started the battle with one ultra shroom and one life shroom. 2/3 through the battle I was on 6 hp and she beat me.

Posts that contain "OOOH I'M SO LONELY I WANT SOMEONE" make me have ANGST!.

I've got two things to say to people who constantly say this (and actually, this goes in general, not just people at the FF, but people in my non-internet life (wow I have one? lol) who come up to me and moan about how they lost their boyfriend or their girlfriend).

1. The people who have told me this are usually around the ages of 12-17. YOU HAVE YOUR WHOLE LIFE AHEAD OF YOU TO FIND A SIGNIFICANT OTHER. Don't think that THIS is the most important time in your life to find love. Think about other things, your education, hobbies, employment if you are employed. The people who tell you "oh where's your bf/gf, don't you have one? you're a loser" are terribly, HORRIBLY WRONG.
2. If you've never had one before and complain about not having one, GO OUT AND SEARCH FOR ONE! It's definitely not easy for anyone to find a significant other, why should YOU be so special? Do you just expect one to fall out of the sky and into your arms? It doesn't work that way. Be real.

It used to amuse me when people always said "oh man I need a boyfriend/girlfriend and my whole life has been wasted, high school's almost over", because A) their life is definitely nowhere near over (unless they're the suicidal type), B) they're complaining about something that is most likely only going to be TEMPORARY at this point in time. NOW, it just really annoys me that the apparent age for needing to have a boyfriend or girlfriend has lowered down into the tween ages (yes, I know this was sort of commonplace even in medieval times, shut up).

So, either stop complaining, or find one. (Or another one after emotional wounds have sort of healed.)

Wow, I got my wish! I've been accepted to compete in the National Sumo Wrestling Federation! (just kidding, I just felt like saying that.)


To those who want to have a girlfriend:

Just a fair warning; when you do get a girlfriend, boyfriend, whatever, there will be no time for Mario, fun, or anything else. Almost all of your free time will be spent towards making them happy. I'm just speaking from experience, it 'aint that fun.

That doesn't have to be true at all. In fact, that is to say, on the contrary, you could find a girl/boyfriend who enjoys video games as much as you do. And if you're going to have a partner that eats all your time, FORGET THAT, man. I'm sure they'd hate it just as much if you ate all of theirs. I sit at a table with three other girls in biology, and they talk about boyfriends and stuff a lot, they once said "Man, boys are stupid." I cough, and they say "Oh, only if they're bad. As in, they take your friends away from you all the time, and stuff like that." I say, "I'd hate it just as much if I were in that position, so I wouldn't do something like that if I had a girlfriend." They say, "Okay, then. That's good." If love were as horrible as you have just said it was, the world is a pretty awful place. I mean, I don't have a girlfriend yet, just a date to Winter Formal that I have hopes for... But I think I know what I'm talking about.
And Vid's right. You have all the time in the world to find a significant other. Whining about it now won't make one come knock on your door. Though I suppose that's what I made this topic for...

And, as far as my own ANGST goes, I STILL DON'T HAVE A WII. How long is it going to take for that order to come in??

I can speak from experience and say that that's not true at all. My fiancee and I play as many games now as we did before we were dating. Now, some of your time may be taken up with things like trying to keep him/her happy, but if you are trying too hard, they won't know the true you, and nobody wants to be something they're not, especially if it's got to do with love.

Anyway, I have ANGST because I haven't seen my fiancee all day.. but I'm about to go home to her, so my ANGST is only for a little while. :)

Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Insane Steve on November 26, 2006, 02:45:34 PM
I'm going to be 20 in less than a month. I've not encountered anything even close to a "soul mate" or whatever. I've never even had any empty meaningless makeout sessions. You know what, though? At this point in my life, it doesn't matter.

I mean, if you're 35 and have this problem, ok, I can see why you'd be worried (and I'd recommend a therapist), but you're not even half that age. High school people are NOT the types who are looking for anything long term. Most just want an experience and nothing more. Unfortunately, at 17 there's really not a whole lot you CAN do about this. High school is definitely not your element for looking for relationships, nor was it mine (fortunately, I didn't care at that age).

Oh, if you spend "all your time" trying to make a girl happy, she'll take advantage of you and dump you for someone who's more "real". "Real" is different for different women, but having that philosophy will get you a lot of "just friends." I'd recommend more being yourself and finding girls who like you for being you and not because you "try" to make them happy. You'll make them happy just by doing what you normally do, and that's a LOT more fun than what you're suggesting.

Also, anyone who tries to make you feel inferior by bragging about their "relationships" in front of you should be ignored. These claims fall into two categories:

1) Someone who isn't worth your time even being around or talking to, or
2) A friend who doesn't mean anything negative by it and is just joking.

Try not to get 2) cases mixed up with 1) cases. I did just that about 3 weeks ago and did things that I regret quite a bit as a result.

Also, maybe you aren't even personally ready for a relationship? I have a simple one question test for you -- the answer to the following question is the same as the answer to "Am I ready for a girlfriend?":

Do you like yourself? Honestly? How do you expect a girl to like you if not even you likes you?

Realising the above has changed me quite a bit over the last couple weeks.

Post by: Sapphira on November 26, 2006, 05:49:32 PM
Insane Steve speaks very wise words.

During the high school years, I believe people should focus their energy (aside from schoolwork and junk) on figuring out who they are, their identity, their goals and desires, what they want out of life. If you haven't figured yourself out, and especially if you haven't learned to love and value yourself, there's no way you can maturely handle a relationship. If you can't love yourself, you can't adequately love someone else, and you can't expect them to love you more than you love yourself. Only after one has done these things, when he or she is mature enough to handle one, should they then think about relationships.

A person cannot fill a void in you. You have to discover how to do that on your own. One needs to learn to be content as single before he or she should think about entering a relationship. A relationship should be formed on the basis that you love the person, and you want to have someone to love, not with the primary goal being because you want someone to love you, to be loved. Love isn't selfish, and if the latter is one's only or strongest desire, that's selfish. If you're selfish, you cannot adequately love another person. And if you can't adaquately love a person, you can't maturely be in a relationship. And if you can't maturely be in a relationship, you shouldn't be in one at all.

Also, I believe relationships need to be formed on the foundation of mutual and genuine friendship, love, care, and respect, not because "if I'm not in one, I'm a loser" or "everyone else is in one" or "well, I like him/her" or "I'm lonely." And if you like someone, try to figure out why it is you like them, why you're attracted to them.

In general, introspection is good. Figure yourself out, how your mind works, and grow from there.

On another note, realize that people generally aren't attracted to (or remain attracted to) people with low self-esteem and/or who are selfish. (Seflish being more concerned about one's self than others; however, caring more for others than for yourself is also unhealthy, as that leads to martyrdom and resentment. There needs to be equal balance.)

I have ANGST about the mentality most people seem to have regarding relationships, a very selfish perspective. I also have ANGST when people have low self-esteem. I want to knock some sense into them and make them realize that they have  value, and they need to utilize their potential. If you don't like yourself, change your actions and/or attitude. It's all about how you perceive reality.
This is the first time I've posted in this topic.

Post by: superstarMASIAH on November 26, 2006, 08:00:20 PM
Well, after reading these posts (meaning Insane Steve's, and Sapphira's), I have done a lot of thinking.  The first thing that I want to get out of the way is that I'm 17 and thats just about half of 35 only one year off, I think if you were talking to a 15 year old that that could be put into play, but I still understand what you meant by what you had said.

  What I was trying to imply when I said that I feel an emptiness inside me can be compared to something said in a Who song I had heard, I don't know what the song was named and personally I'm not the biggest Who fanatic in the world, but I still think their good.  Anyways what it said was "1 and 1 does not make 2.  But 1 and 1 makes 1"  And this lyric appealed to me because it made me think that, I have a lot of love but no-where to direct it.

  I love myself, and thats why I think or feel like I have to make this step.  I can only describe my situation like this.  Say I am a (Z+) sign, I am looking for another (Z+) sign, but I cannot see other peoples signs, and there are other people willing to accept my love, but I see that they are another sign different than mine, that means that they don't interest me.  And it is not because of the way they look, it's either that they don't have the same personality as me or I do not like the way they act lets just say that there are a lot of variables that come into play, but my decisions are not purely based on looks.

  I am always willing to get to know the person before I make my decision.  The simplicity of it is that I am a person willing to give my love and willing to receive another persons love.  I just can't find the person that fits my exact code, someone who takes the interest in things that I do, or even thinks of the things I do.  I guess I've been so into Induviduallity that there is no other person or person that I can find like me.

  I remember a girl on the bus asking me what school group I would catagorize myself in, I simply replied "I just don't do that." she replied that people catagorize themselves all the time wether they know that they do or not.  So I thought to myself because I had never conciusly catagorized myself into any group.  I said to her "I am my own catagory." because that is HOW I think.  Then she asked me to describe my catagory, so I explained it to her like this "It can't be described, the only definition for it would to be to not only look at my appearance but to also look at what makes me work.  In other words you would have to study all aspects of me."  Well, then she shut up, and that was basically the whole conversation, she spent the rest of the bus ride home thinking about what I said.  I would have liked the conversation to continue and I would have liked to ask her what she would catagorize me as.  But I think I know what she would catagorize me as, she probably would have said "Stoner".  A lot of people say this and it makes me really mad.  Although I have found myself through the recreational use of different drugs such as cannabis and psilocybin containing mushrooms, doesn't give them the right to expect that I have just by observing the way I act or dress, or because of what music I listen to.  Although this catagory is true, most of the people who I don't even know have never actually SEEN me do these things.  And I think this Angst applies to everyone who catagorizes and is catagorized, that you don't really know people unless you've seen everything they've ever done.

  So in conclusion, I think I am ready for a mature and steady relationship seeing how I love myself, I am also willing to give my fullest of love to the person that I like who has accepted it.  But I think my full and most complete problem lies in finding the right person, someone who is like me and accepts me for who I am, and of course accepts my love.  The only reason I put those little tid bits in their like the anecdote and the diagram, was to help explain things to you, and to help you see how I am.

Vid, you may have self-esteem, but you're extremely self-absorbed. You're selfish and all you care about (at least primarily) is yourself. The world does not revolve around you, nor will it ever. So don't expect it to, and don't act like you expect it to. ACCEPT IT.

It's good to have self-esteem, but it needs to be based on reality. If you have a grandiose view of yourself, that's seriously not healthy, not to mention it drives people away.

The problem in general is that people's perceptions (of themselves, of others, of situations) are exaggerated, not reality-centered. Either they think something is worse than it is or is better than it is. One needs to see how things really are, without first distorting it. That's easier said than done, though, and something I'm trying to overcome, as well.

Anyway, stop being so whiny, selfish, and attention-seeking, Vid. It's REALLY old.
LOLOLOLETC. to LD and Luigison.
SSM: At your age, even if you're mature enough to handle a relationship, pretty much no one of your age is, so I would stop worrying about it until others become mature. Worrying about it is just going to cause you, well, ANGST, as it's pretty futile at this point in time. You're just going to be left disappointed. Wait until both you're ready AND others are ready.
(On another note, I think doing drugs is a bad idea, not to mention drug use seems to correlate with low self-esteem, even though you say you love yourself. Drugs aren't going to fill a void, either. ...But I'll stop.)

I don't do drugs and I have low self esteem.

Wait a minute, that didn't help at all, did it? Darn it! I'm useless!!


.. ok, I don't really feel useless, but anyway..

I have ANGST because I have to ask several of my teachers for extensions on homework for this week. It has been a very crazy week.. For one thing, my parents Internet connection died Monday and wasn't reset until Thursday, then Friday afternoon while I was at work, I get a call on my cell phone that sounds alot like my dad telling me that mom has been in a car accident and she's in the hospital. I leave work to go home and see if dad knows anything else, and walk in to find him lying on the couch, watching a football game (which is normal..)

I asked him if mom was ok and he asked me why wouldn't she be? I told him that he just called my cell phone telling me that she was in a car accident, so he informs me that he hasn't made any phone calls all day long, and then calls mom to see if she's ok. She is fine, and I told them about how extremely perplexing the phone call was because, any time before I answer my cell phone, I look at it to see who's calling, and the display told me that it was HOME and *our home number*.

I hope the person that called me got ahold of whoever they were trying to call.

Let me just get this out into the open, and this is going to be the only time I am going to talk about this in the forum or with any of you unless you want to ask me something over a personal message.  I started using recreational drugs regularly last year in December 2005.  It was a choice I made on my own, nobody forced me or tryed to pressure me into doing it.  Since then I regret nothing I've done involving drugs, I made it one of my hobbies and tend to keep it that way for quite sometime.  The reason why I started doing them was partly curiousity, but mostly for finding myself.  In the time I was using drugs, and I still am, I have unearthed many of the deepest crevases of my brain, and have become aware physically, mentally, and spiritually.  I have only made friends since I have started this, many friends I had before are still my friends today, and do not mind my personal quest of awareness.  Last and foremost, I regret nothing, and do not care what others think, because most of your judgements about my drug use would be wrong.

Drug use can only lead to destruction. There are may other ways to "find yourself."

Things you can do to find yourself (other than drugs)

1. Get help from friends.
2. Read about others who have used drugs. Notice something?
3. Go to Church. Jesus might help you.
4. Do something you enjoy.

Mabey you'd be happier if you didn't take these drugs. They're depressants by nature. (I've noticed your complaints towards not having a girlfriend.)

My advice to you is stop using them. I know you're gonna hate it, and you don't want to here about what I have to say, but seriously. Do you really think these drugs can make you happy?
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Chupperson Weird on November 27, 2006, 08:53:13 PM
People on drugs do think it makes them happy, even though it doesn't and they don't realize it.

Post by: Vidgmchtr on November 27, 2006, 09:41:54 PM
Hm, the drugs DO seem to explain his constant complaints about not having a girlfriend, lots of people for some odd reason like to think they're a little more philosophical or something when they're high on drugs or under the influence of alcohol.

I wasn't going to say this, because I leave people around me who also engage in doing drugs alone as long as they don't blow smoke in my face. Now that I see that you do engage in drugs, I'd say it'd be good to stop. It'll make you think more clearly (saying drugs is the reason you think more clearly is complete BULL, because I know people who have told me their experiences with cannabis, and I've had conversations with them while they were high, and they don't sound too bright at all when they go on philosophical tirades, and they actually sound coherent when they're not high).

I'm a senior in high school, and I've never had a significant other. This is because I don't care, and I don't want one. I believe my education is of utmost importance, and with my hobbies I have no time to please someone who I ultimately won't be with in the future.
I also don't do drugs, because I know it'd mean a not-so-good future for me, and I'm happy without them. I'm not trying to sound condescending or cocky, but I do know any type of drug that isn't a prescribed one can severely mess something about me up.

Look at your posts from before December 2005. If your approximate time of starting to use cannabis is correct, it shows that you only started complaining AFTER you started using it. You didn't seem to care much or lose any sweat over a certain girl before that.

So, I'd say getting off the pot would be good for you, and make you stop whining about not having a girl. The cannabis is also the reason you're not doing anything about finding a girl. It's called being "amotivational", marijuana turns even the most willing, mobile, assertive person into someone who does nothing at all every day. Of course going cold turkey isn't a good idea, so tell your parents if they don't know, and tell them you want to stop and I'm sure after they're done yelling at you they can help you get off. They're your parents, they love you.

Of course this is advice from someone over the internet, and I'm sure you're not going to take it, because you're probably thinking I'm attacking your beliefs on how great recreational drugs are. I don't care if they're really great (or legal) or not, I've found other great things to do for myself.

I can't find drugs all that appealing.  I mean, they cost money, and if I wanted to feel good I'd take a nap.  Seriously, sleeping is like the new drug.

Stereotyping happens everywhere.  Sometimes we just have to accept that.  I mean, I don't care if I'm classified as a Drama kid, because either the person clasifying me doesn't know me well enough, or else I really am a Drama kid and I don't care.

The only difference between us is that you take drugs, which are considered dangerous or unhealthy or whatever.  While I would like to think that you'd stop taking drugs for non-medicinal purposes, it's really your choice and you have to accept things that go with it.  When someone takes drugs, their credibility is usually lost because people think they're under the influence.  And who knows, maybe they are.  Or not.  Either way, you'll always be considered a druggie by one person or another when you take drugs.  So yeah, angst for that... but it'll always happen, so get used to it, I guess is what I'm saying.

And if you really have a lot of love to give, give it to everyone, even enemies.  Just strive to be a good person, instead of finding yourself. Because what good is finding yourself if yourself isn't very nice?

Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: superstarMASIAH on November 28, 2006, 06:17:43 PM
superstarMASIAH's really hard topic to talk about

      I'm going to explain a few things in this, and don't worry I am not denying everything you may say.  I am only telling you how things are with me, from the person who know's me best.  In these cases the accusers have yet to really listen to the addicts and just write them off as denying everything, thats why this topic is very hard for me. Bad things that I have found that drugs have done to me (let me remind you that the only one's I have taken are cannabis and psilocybin containing mushrooms, both which are organic, not that that makes a difference) are that I'm often grouchy when I havent had a buzz in a while, although it may not appear like it, thats the way I feel inside.  I guess the tar in my lungs would be bad, although I can run for a while without being out of breath, the tar is still there though (organized sports was never a hobby of mine though).  The mushrooms have killed some brain cells, I'm not Ozzy Osbourn yet but I found out as I use them, my WANT for trying them again deminish's, I have only had them 3 times.  I am often lazy, but I will get things done if they have to be, and I am still persistant on the things I enjoy.

        Some relatively good things that drugs have brought me would be the love of all things, I never hurt anyone physically or mentally, although I am constantly getting into arguments with my parents (I think most teenagers are common with that in their quest for independence).  I never ask to borrow money, and I never steal money to pay for drugs (all the money I use is 100% earned by myself).  I am an artist, and I can remember everything that happens to me when I'm on drugs, (although that isn't that common in most people) so one trip can produce about 80 to 100 good ideas for art peices that I want to do.  And believe me, I utilize that to the best of the abilities of my wallet, incase you didn't know, art supplies can be expensive (so I run out a lot).  I like to think that drugs have helped me develope a life philosophy.  It has sparked an interest in music and motivates me to find various meanings in things. 

       Now for the hard part.  Although it's hard to admit, it seems as though cannabis has always been there during the hardest times of my life, and beleive it or not I think the hardest times really were between Now and December 2005.  Even though it is difficult to think about, besides the curiosity, I think part of the reason for my drug use was about my grandmother.  Just the summer before she had been admitted to a care facility, and thats when things started getting bad.  Whenever we were there to visit her she would cry and ask me to take her home.  Even though I couldn't, I wished that all that happened to me instead of to her.  Then she had to be moved out and into intensive care because she was biting people, thats when she forgot how to talk and walk.  So then she was basically in a wheelchair, and could only make facial expressions, she could move the upper half of her body though.  Then months went by and by, and suddenly it was April and I hadn't gone to see her in 3 months.  She was in very critical condition, so my parents left that night to tend to her.  I remember I was watching on that night, a program on public access about the liberation of psychedelic drugs and cannabis.  I only remember this because later that night my parents had called and told me that she died.  about a half hour before they called, which is when she died, I was walking out of the bathroom when I heard a noise behind me.  The light was off, but there behind me peering around the corner was a minature figure of my grandmother (about a foot and a half high).  But what I remember most about that was that she was garbed in green sheets of cloth and was glowing.  And for the rest of that night, when I was in my bed I felt as if she was sitting right on the corner of my bed watching after me.  I took this as a sign that I should live my life how I want and that she would always be there, through good and bad.

      In conclusion, I've been above the influence for a little over a month although I have been planning on getting high for a while, but have been able to resist.  I don't get cravings like people who smoke cigerettes (and I think that is partly due to the fact that cannabis isn't manufactured).  But I do have dreams about it, maybe thats my subconcius craving about a trip.  I havent made a decision on wether I am going to quit or not.  But if I don't I guess I'll quit when I have kids and I am planning on it. 

       One common misconception that I have to get out of the way is that drugs only had a minor effect on Syd Barrett when he went recluse.  It was mostly the pressures of fame and fortune and the death of his dad in WW2 when he was 12.  Although the drugs unleashed these, he soon recovered near the end of the seventies eary eighties.  He just didn't want to remember any of the things that had happened in the sixties, he was almost completely normal after the fact.  And you have to admit that Syd had a little more magical mind than most other people did, even before he started the drugs.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Markio on November 28, 2006, 06:54:09 PM
Is the fact that you were watching the program at the time what inspired you to take the drugs on the program?  I'm kind of just curious.  Also, did you used to hurt people physically or mentally before taking drugs?  I'm again just wondering.  I don't know anything about you!  Jeez, I don't know anything about anybody... wait, where am I?  Just kidding...

I guess I personally don't have any business in this, but I'm thinking it would be cool if you decided to stop (lest I make a horrible joke involving the fact that this message board is called the Mushroom Kingdom...).

All I keep thinking about is that episode of Hey Arnold where Chocolate Boy goes to Arnold to get off chocolate, and he apparently had a nanny that would give him chocolate, but then the nanny moved to Delaware and Chocolate Boy missed her and subconsiously ate chocolate to remember her, and Arnold brought up the point that the nanny probably wouldn't want him to eat chocolate all the time, so he stops.  Weird episode.

Drugs are a tough subject, because some people are completely against it, or else don't care, or are entirely for it.  I don't ever want to take non-medicinal drugs, but some people do.  I'm not saying you're stupid for using them, and I don't know you very well so I can't exactly not see you as a person but as some internet character.  So as some random guy hearing about a person doing drugs, all I can say is that I'm concerned for your health.  I mean, drugs aren't natural or very safe and all that.  I'm glad good things happened to you in your life, but I don't think taking drugs will always have a direct correlation to your happiness.  This is about to be a weird comparison, but drugs and masturbation and alcohol are all things that can only bring short-term happiness, and they usually have some bad side effect.  All I can say on this subject is that I'd personally wish for you to play it safe and not do drugs.  It's your choice though, and I hope you don't suffer depending on your choice.

(EDIT: And you said you were an artist.  Cool.  What medium do you use?)

Hahaha, that was a cool show for kids, man. I remember that episode.
Today we took a survey in 5th period about health and stuff, relating to exercise, sexual intercourse, and you guessed it, the use of drugs. I'm 100% anti-drugs, and all I can really think of to say is... if you're going to quit, quit now. The sooner, the easier, I'd bet.
Anyway, about the survey. A lot of the answers I bubbled in were A's (No, I don't take prescription drugs when a doctor hasn't given the okay. Never in my life have I smoked. I took meth zero times in the last year. Doesn't apply; I do not smoke. Doesn't apply; I do not drink alcohol. Strongly disagree, it's easier to get addicted than people think. The odds I will smoke in the next year are inexistent.) so it was just like I was talking to someone asking questions that I have already said don't apply to me: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

I try to vary my mediums, I like markers and oil paints the most.  I started smoking cannabis before my grandma died though, she died in april 2006, I didn't specify.  There deffinatly is an addictiveness to cannabis though, don't beleive it when people say it isn't a real drug.  I think almost anything is addictive if used in large quantities.  I am not for the liberation of canabbis for some odd reasons, first of all if it was liberated, big tobacco companies would pour even more bad things into it like even more tar and they would manipulate it to make it more addicting.  As for the good reasons, it wouldn't have to be a secret anymore, and you wouldn't get arrested.  My stance on alcohol, alcohol is a joke, it only makes you feel dumb and after a while you'll get a headache.  I would never PAY for someone to give me the worst hangover in my life, I'm not saying I would never drink alcohol, I would never PAY for it, but I probably wouldn't drink it again, it really isn't all what its cracked up to be.  As for for my anti side, I am anti synthetic drugs such as meth and a lot of others, I am also anti heroin.  I am neutral on synthetic psychedelics such as LSD and LSA, because I think they can be really bad because if you have a history of shcizophrenia or something of the sort, it has the power to unearth that.  On the other hand, in small regulated doses, it has the power to help you look at things from different perspectives, and help let ideas flow more fluently.  This is why I think LSD and LSA are related to the contrast between heaven and hell.  One important thing you have to know before you take this or mushrooms, it will change the way you think about life or go about life for the better or for the worst.  You will change, I like to think I changed for the better, but only time will tell.  As for quiting the psychedelics I'm on now, I have been off them for about a little over a month, but I already have money spent, so its One last hoorah.  I will go without taking them for a little over a half a year and I'll see where it's taken me, if I don't like it, I guess I'll start again.  But I know I'll quit sometime.  I know it may sound like all addicts say this but I'm hold my integrity closest to me.

I had all of my wisdom teeth removed at the same time. Over Christmas. And my mom made tons of awesome goodies. I couldn't eat them. :(

The "surgery" part wasn't bad, since I was unconscious. Recovering was the bad part, although I think I had it worse than most people have it.

What's kind of weird is that my mom's upper wisdom teeth are finally coming in now. (Her bottom ones were removed in her late teens.)

Wow. See, I went the anti-LD route with removing my wisdom teeth and was unconscious during the extraction and sedated for pretty much the next 3 days after. Aside from maybe the first hour afterwards, it wasn't painful at all, just bloody.

Honestly, though, I wouldn't be able to stay conscious for something like that anyways -- large amounts of blood and I don't get along very well. I'd likely pass out.

The teeth on the right side od my jaw don't hurt one bit and, for some reason, the pain only kicks in at night. They hurt right now as I'm typing this. I'm going to see the dentist soon. I think it might be a cavity. I dout my wisdom teeth a growing, cause I'm not old enough to recieve them yet. The pain is harsh, but barable.

Hm, when I first saw that I thought it was when you were running and smashed into a pole or something during the winter.  I know there were other bloody photos of you somewhere. 

ANGST related, though, teachers need to inform their students when there is a specific way something needs to be done.

  I had to retake a quiz I missed a while back in my math class today.  I came in, said I was going to do what I needed, and my teacher said alright.  He wasn't doing a whole lot, only a few people were staying late today, and people didn't start to ask him questions till after I started.  It was an easy quiz, only a few problems and a few formulas, so I finish quickly and hand it to him.  He then says that he's done for the after school time.  He told me earlier that he was leaving at 2:30, and I finished in time.  When he's getting everything put away, taking the work from the other people, he asks what the paper I gave him was.  After stating that it was my quiz, he tells me that I had to speak to him, and he had to give it to me.  But now it's too late, and I have to keep the 0.  I can only make up a quiz once, and because when I walked in and said I was going to do the quiz, he didn't tell me anything about it.

My ANGST is related back to the time I was robbed. Well, it just so happens that one of my friends most likely used to know the crooks that burglarized my house. He even knows what street they live on and that they have a criminal record. This ticks me off because the police won't take ten minutes to go down that street, find them, see them with my stuff, arrest them, and return it to me. I know there are bigger fish to fry out in this place, but it would only take less than a doughnut break. All I really want back, however, is the memory card to my GCN and the wireless adapter/receiver for my Wavebird controller. Maybe one day it'll happen, but it most likely won't.

You could always go to Wal*Mart and buy some stuff there, with all the money you're going to get from putting things on Ebay (that was you with the Ebay plan, wasn't it?)

.. and on a Wal*mart note, here is some related ANGST (I had to bold it, it's worth it)

I was getting off of work the other night, and one of the girls that works in Electronics was getting mad at a couple of stupid customers. The mom was on her cell phone, and her little girl kept messing with things on the cashier's keyboard. The girl in Electronics finally got mad enough to say something, and said "Ma'am would you please get off of your cell phone? Don't you have any common sense?"

A couple of redneck (not the funny kind of redneck, the stupid kind) guys were behind the woman on her phone, and the one closest to the front of the line turned to his friend behind him and asked (please note: I am not kidding) "Common sense? Isn't that the name of a band?"

Also, one of my 21 year old friends was not allowed to buy alcohol despite having a valid ID.

I am going to school to become a game designer, and one of my courses this term was Intro to Animation. Maybe after I get done with this animation, I'll post it so that my good friends here can see it. :)

I normally don't post in one of these vent sections, but I'm really upset with The Home Depot right now.

My contractor went to Home Depot to get some ceiling tiles for my basement. He had this 10% off coupon and the guy tried to lie to him and say that it wouldn't work until 12/15. Well, that's not what this coupon said. The best part? He had boxes of ceiling tiles (four huge ones), left them at the register, and stormed out. (He got them at another Home Depot for the lower price...they took it).

But here's where we're both mad. I'm looking at putting two sets of bifold doors in. There are no matching doors at either Home Depot he has tried. There are a few more in the area, but this is just stupid. Why would you only have one of each? Most people use pairs of bifold doors, at least when they install closets.

Anyway, this whole basement thing has two weeks to get done so we're cutting it close.

My mother could lose the use of one of her eyes, and she has to stay in bed for at very least a week, getting up only to go to the doctor once a day to get it checked.  If after the week the cornea is healing alright, she'll still be stuck in bed, but her eye will be fine.  If it's not healing normally, the doctor will have to take the outer layer of tissue, and hope for the best, though at that point it's not likely she'll ever see out of it again.  Which is bad when trying to place food in front of customers.

I'm not going to be able to finish my animation project on time. I'm not even halfway to the minimum required frames for the finished project. I am hoping beyond all hope that I can get at least halfway through with this thing within the next 43 minutes, because then I could go to be somewhat happier and still be able to do the other half tomorrow and Friday, before I turn it in on Friday.

Gosh I hate procrastinating! I wish I could find a way out of it (the procrastination, not the project).

My maternal grandmother is in the hospital. I don't think she'll be able to live to see 2007. My parents went to Connecticut today to see her in the hospital, and according to them, she was not doing very well at all.

Last month I went to Connecticut to see the relatives there. She was in a chair, her skin was very dark and sickly looking, and she could not speak very loudly, and she needed aid in being moved and using the bathroom.

365 days ago, she was not like this. She was able to walk, she looked (and was) very healthy, and was able to speak loud and clear. To be honest, even though I usually only saw her once or twice a year, I favored her a bit more than my paternal grandmother. She was warm, and she never yelled at her grandchildren.

It's alright.  We're all bound to die sometime soon. Nature's course.

I have a follow-up ANGST! that goes back to the time of the Burger King staff not being able to get orders right 99% of the time.

I'd have to say that quite a bit of that is sometimes my father's fault. His memory of what his children and wife want aren't very good, and we usually have to relay our orders to him when he is talking to the magical speaker that takes our orders (though in the specific time I posted, my brother was driving, and he remembers our orders, it was all the BK staff's fault that time).

A few specific examples of this:
At a Wendy's drive-thru, my brother wanted a spicy chicken sandwich and a large Coke. The only ones in the car were my father, my brother, and myself. I didn't want anything. It wasn't a very hard order to mess up, but sure enough, he does anyway.
Father:"Hi, I'd like a LARGE spicy chicken sandwich and a Coke, please."
Girl working drive-thru: ".....A what, sir?"
Father: "A LARGE spicy chicken sandwich. And a Coke, please."

The girl eventually realized what my father meant, and pointed it out once she gave him the bag of food that what he had said confused her, as she laughed nervously. Me? I was in the back seat, laughing the whole time.


We were at the BK drive thru (same one as before), and everyone was in the car. This wasn't so much of a mess-up of an order as it was...

Dad: "Hi, how're you?"
Mom: "Jerry, you're talking to a sign. We aren't up to the speaker yet."
My siblings and I: *ROFFLECOPTER*



Though those examples were more humorous than annoying, his constant mess-ups are becoming more of a pet-peeve of mine rather than a source of amusement. I've found myself speaking up at the drive-thru over my father whenever I'm sitting in the front seat because my father doesn't see mistakes in the order he might've made himself.

I had an incident similar to that at Taco Bell, only I was mad.

Mom: Hello?
Guy: Yes. Welcome to Taco Bell. Would you like to try the ___ ____ ____?
Mom: No thank no. I would like 4 half pound bean and cheese burritos, no onions.
Guy: So you want 4 half pound bean and cheese burritos, no onions?
Mom: Yes.
Guy: Would that be all?
Mom: Yes.
Guy: Your total will be *random amount of money*.

*At the Window*

Guy: You ordered 4 half bound bean and cheese burritos, right?
Mom: Right.

When we got our burritos and we opened tasted them, I got mad.

Me: These are not bean and cheese burritos?
Mom: Let me see.
*shows mom the burrito*
Me: There are cheesy rice and bean burritos!

(note: I don't like rice or nacho cheese in my burritos)



You see? They ask and confirm our order 3 times and still didn't get it right.
I had an attitude all day.

However, when I go to the video games department and get weirded-out looks, I know someone has lied. Thank you, Circuit City, for being run by complete morons. So much for Wii today.

The Advance Wars Nation administration has purged the Spam section of their message board. Now while I was never a member of their boards, I did kill a lot of time by lurking there and I acquired most of my pics from the image dump topic. Now all of it is gone and they've banned one of their most hilarious members, psychotic guy. Well, I guess I'll have to find funny pictures by myself. Oh well, the topic had become a dumping ground for Lolicon, random 4chan memes, and creepy gore before it was purged completely.

I've seriously grown tired of Christmas music. Thanks to the fact that I'm in all three of the school's bands, I've had to rehearse and perform:

1 Christmas medley in Symphonic Band (which has quite a few jazzy versions of a few songs).
1 Christmas medley in Concert Band (which was accompanied by the chorus, and had more lighter, bouncier songs)
An arrangement of Joy to the World in Wind Ensemble (Not complaining so much about this one, it's short)
A special Horn quartet arrangement of The First Noel (arranged by a student taking advanced Music Theory)
A collection of 20-25 short Christmas carols (which I'm going to have to get up earlier in the morning to play in the school lobby at the beginning of the day a few days before the break).

Can't wait 'til the normal music starts playing on the radio again...

Well, I didn't get Wii. Again. But this time, there were no lies about the shipment...

My grandma and I left her house around 6:45 am. We drove out towards the Target that expected 10-50 Wiis, planning to stop for coffee, but since we saw people waiting in line at Circuit City (hey, no lie this time), my grandma decided to drop me off at Target around 6:50 am. Well, right when I got there, I noticed a police car, a fire truck, and a short line. I thought this was a good thing, but when I walked to the line, I was greeted by, "they just passed out the first 15 and that's all they have." o_o was my thought response, but instead I asked if they would be receiving any more Wiis and got, "no." So, I stood outside Target until my grandma came back. I told her the news and drove away with her to Toys R Us.

So, we got there and there was a lineup of about 50. Thing is, once we got there, we learned that no one knew the expected amount (if they could get ~80 on launch day, you think they could get at least 50 today). So, we waited in line, and figured we were #47 in line. So, we waited for 15 minutes until some college girls came and said, "they only have 15, but we'll sell you are #1 and #4 spots for $200 each." ._. I thought, but I still jokingly offered them $20 for the spots, but they just sarcastically laughed and went on about how so many people wanted their spots (I'll revisit this later). So, I waited 45 more minutes until 8:00, the magic moment. There we were officially told by a TRU employee that they only had 20 and would hand out vouchers. Well, we went inside anyways and guess what: those college girls were still numbers 1 and 4 in line, and they got Wii (which mustn't be that important if you'd sell your spots). Well, I then went home, and here I am. I guess I won't be getting Wii until March. And there's my ANGST.

Please tell me that post was a joke.

Nothing is worse than Halo 2.





(But seriously, please tell me that post was a joke. SMB was revolutionary with that ending. Before it, heck, games didn't have ANY ending. You just played and played until the unbeatable computer eventually ratcheted up the difficulty and speed of the game so much that you inevitably met a horrible death. Every time. If you played a game, you would die at the end, no matter what. You would DIE, no matter what.


Just like RL.)

Well, technology wasn't advanced enough at the point were Game developers could convey high-quality cinematic cut scenes with full voice acting, dramatic soundtrack and a Motion Capture. The ending of SMB was the best they could do. Of course, you probably already knew that, right? Plus, games didn't even have endings before that. Games like Space invaders and Centipede just continued on and on forever until you lost or until you quit.

Also, the Mario series has never been based on in-depth, big budget, Hollywood-style stories, anyhow; just to be enjoyable and fun for everyone.

But if there's no technology, then how can I commuinicate with you guys? Simple: I snuck my laptop in as a teddy bear. jk.

All joking aside, it's because I cought a cold and a case of the flu two days before we had to go :(. I was looking forward to it days before the day we had to go. We got a new suit, new pj's, shoes, toilettries and everything!

My ANGST continues my quest for Wii. I can't get it tomorrow. I have not found a ride, as no one can take me to Toys R Us. And, I'll most likely not be allowed to take a bus. Hopefully, March will come soon (probably the time I'll actually be able to get Wii without hassle, lines, etc.)

Speaking of Metroid Prime 2, the producers of that game really skimped out on the music. There's one repeating bit of music that makes me want to kill U-Mos. Still, it's pretty fun.

My quest for the Wii has disturbed me almost to the point of insanity. There, I am insane now.

But seriously, I'm always way late to get a system. I got my first N64 in 1998 (right around the time it started getting horribly pwned by the PlayStation), my first Game Boy in 2000 (way after it became horribly, like, old), my first my first PS2 and GBA in 2004, and my first GameCube in 2005. Heck, I first played Half-Life in 2002, four years after it first came out, and I just recently beat the original SMB, some twenty-one years after its release (granted, I was born in '92). At this rate, I expect to get a Wii and a game or two sometime around 2012, at which time I'd be twenty and look stupid buying a six-year-old Nintendo system.

Welcome, brother. :)

Seriously, though, don't worry about getting things late. I am usually one to get things late too (except for the Wii, but I was lucky [or something] to be working at Walmart when they got a shipment in)

Also, don't worry about looking nerdy while buying videogames. If you worry less about what you look like, and more about.. something else, then you'll be ok.

Annnd, don't worry about beating SMB years later. It wasn't until pretty recently that I could finish it either. I've been playing it since about 1989 (I was 5 or 6), and didn't beat it until 2000. :)

I have ANGST because Wal*mart is making me work late New Year's Eve (2pm-11pm) then early NEw Year's Day (10am-7pm)

I have ANGST becasue I've been late a lot, and one of the less kind managers has already talked to me and told me that if I have one more occurance of being late or calling in, then I'm going to have what's known as a "D-day", a decision day where I get paid to stay at home and think about whether I want to keep this job or not. My decision will likely be to not come back to the job that I hate.

Cheese! I hate being a cashier. THey won't pull anybody from cashiering to other departments because it would leave the front end short handed, but they will hire new people to those departments who know nothing about the area.

This Christmas was fairly disappointing to me. Other than the Halo Graphic Novel, which is the awesomest thing ever, I mostly got junk. I got a tiny radio from my mom that doesn't have any reception, a copy of Resident Evil (the movie, which I have openly stated numerous times to hate with the fury of a thousand nuns) from my sister, nothing from my dad, and a $5 gift certificate to Best Buy from my older brother.

I have ANGST whenever I think of child abuse.  I just read an entire website tribute to Judith Barsi, whom I first heard about through pt_peach, and let's just say, my eyes are no longer as dry as they were a half hour ago.  I swear, someday I'm going to find a way to put an end to child abuse.  Discipline is fine, because you're teaching your kid not to do bad things. But when you abuse a child for your own sick pleasure, that is just disgusting.  I want a one-strike and you're dead policy for sexual predators.  I honestly do. 

Don't give me that "there's nothing you can do about it" crap.  That is absolute bull, and I won't stand to hear it.  We can all change the world for the better! 

EDIT: Anyone notice how we are losing a lot of people lately?  First Peter Boyle (Frank on "Raymond") then the Godfather of Soul, now former president Gerald Ford have all died, all in the midst of the tenth anniversary of the JonBenet Ramsey ordeal.

So, how many times have you ANGST!ed about child abuse now? It's getting a little irritating. Don't just tell us that you want to do something about it, GO OUT AND DO IT. Of course, it's easier said than done, but we've heard your complaints about child abuse before.

This is like the time you constantly made patriotic threads. I got sick of them, and so did others.

About the deaths of the people: Well, you do kind of have to remember that these people ARE (well, were) old, and they all died of natural causes. I'm sure all three of them lived happy lives.

I have ANGST due to being unable to use one of the Wii's cooler features. Every freakin' time I try to redeem my Wii Point Card on the Shop Channel, it keeps telling me that it's unable to connect to the server. The other channels work fine for me, however. What the heck's going on?

@The Chef: You're lucky you can even use the cool features. I'll have to wait until the Wii LAN adapter comes out, because my wireless connection isn't compatable with the Wii.

@Jman: The only way you'll be able to do that is if you start a mass genocide (or become the ruler of every country on Earth and sentence all child abusers to jail for the rest of their lives).

I am extremely ANGST! with AIM. To save space, I'll just say what I think of AIM (and AOL):
AOL (and all other related products/programs) = Crap/Spyware/Adware
For those of you AIM users, do this to save your computer:
1. Go to "Internet Options" in IE.
2. Go to the "Security" tab.
3. Go to "Trusted Sites".
4. Remove "free.aol.com" from the list.
5. You are now safe.

Also, do this:
1. Go to your Control Panel.
2. Go to Add/Remove Programs.
3. Uninstall anything that includes "Viewpoint Media Player" in it.
4. You are now safe from AOL watching over you.

I have ANGST because my DS lost it's Stylus while I was at work..

Ok, I probably should have known better than to take it to work with me, but all of my pants have pockets that are deep enough that the Stylus should have just stayed in my pocket, if that's even where it fell out. I'll try looking around my apartment, but I really think this is a lost cause (heh.. lost).

Oh well. I can finally start using one of those back-up Styli that I bought a year ago, after Chirstmas when I first got my DS (from my fiancee, when she was just my girlfriend). :)

How did the stylus even come out of the DS?

I'm not even sure. I just remember sort of having it the last time I played my game (which was my first break) and then it wasn't there when I went to lunch (two hours later). I know for a fact that it was in the 'Stylus spot' on the DS, because I always put it there when I am done using it, and I don't set it anywhere else when I am playing.

It's ok though.. I'm already using the red Stylus that came in one of those Stylus packs that Wal*mart has. I am going to use my discount while I still can..

I can't remember whether I've posted about this yet,  but I am quitting Wal*mart. It was one of those "quit or be fired" situations, and I decided to quit before I was fired. I hope none of you ever run into a situation like that..

I have a month to find another job and get paid, so that I can pay my bills (rent, car payment, electric..) I hope it all goes well.. :/

I... HATE... WOOD SHOP!!!!
I've been working on this freaking bread box for most of the year. Some of the time I don't do anything because the class is more boring than it sounds, and EVERY TIME I DECIDE TO DO SOMETHING, SOMETHING GOES WRONG. At first, my boards kept being stolen/disappearing/stuff. Then, I was asking the teacher a question about the drill press, I look back and some idiot is drilling a hole into my board, which has my name on it and marks for stuff, and is quite obviously not scrap wood. Today, I come back from break, notice I'm actually almost done, AND THE BASE IS CUPPED!!! It's warped and unusable.

I'm not taking wood shop again.

I never would have imagined that at only about two months since the release of the PS3 it is impossible for me to find a PS2.  for the last 2 weekends I have looked in every store I would imagine carried the PS2 at one time.  Best buy had some the week before Christmas, but now there are none.  Not even trade in places around me have any.  I'm going to head to another trade in store tomorrow, but I don't think they're going to have one either.  All this trouble so I can play my friends Soul Calibur 3 game...

I just hope it falls into the same fate as the DBZ movies. If there's any justice in the world, it will simply die away in pre-production.

Adding onto NE's ANGST!, I find it even funnier that some people haven't even actually WATCHED what they're complaining about.

I'm quite sure people should actually watch something before they can form a legitimate opinion on it. Instead, they just read opinions on it from other media such as reviews or in articles and newspapers, and form an opinion that way.

So yeah, either ignore it (which is the best option), or actually see whatever it is yourself. THEN, if you don't like it, ignore it.

Here's my two cents:

/me tosses coins onto neaby desk.

I have watched South Park, so I have a right to complain about it when the subject arises (I could complain now, but I have something far more ANGSTy to complain about..) I am a nice guy, and will wait until a subject that I want to complain about comes up, instead of just complaining all the time.

I have ANGST because my fiancee's car was broken into a couple of nights ago while we were sleeping. Whoever did it popped her driver's side window out of place with a crowbar, and then must've opened the door after unlocking it like that.

They didn't take anything out of the car, though, and they also hit ten other cars in the parking lot the same night. The landlord thinks it must've been the same person, because all the other cars were broken into the same way (crowbar). Nothing was reported missing from any of the other cars either. The landlord called the cops, and asked them to do finger prints.

I'm hoping that if they find out it's someone that lives in the apartment complex, that he asks them to leave (he can do that, right?). In the meantime, I'm going to look for another place to live..

I just got back from Mexico. The first part of my trip goes into the Hopeful thread. Going through customs and all that they made us go through and then an officer lied on my stepfather, that goes here.

We waited for an hour to get to customs. When we got there, the asked for idea for ALL of my minor brothers and sisters. We didn't have them, as my stepdad explained that last time he came out of Mexico, he didn't need them. The guy made up go to secondary check, where this guy got mad because my stepdad was trying to tell him that they didn't need them the other time he brought his children to Mexico. They handcuffed him, saying it for his own safety. He got loud, but he didn't resist. Then the officer who had him handcuffed had a report that was a lie and we all knew it and they checked my mom. They searched her like she was a criminal. If I hadn't known that they were searching her, I'm pretty sure I would've thought that she was being molested. Then the other officer found out that the report was a lie and then we waited some more. We waited there 5 hours in all. All because of a report that was a lie.

Tell me, guys. Would you ever get mad if I drew a poorly drawn caricature of you on MS Paint?

Specifically, to the staff, would you guys ever ban me if I did such a thing? No? Why do I ask?

Because that's exactly what happened to LOL WHAT. (http://www.advancewarsnet.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=26344&st=0)

Honestly, I know you guys probably don't care much about this due to the fact that it doesn't concern anyone here, but I still think it's unfair that one of the greatest and oldest members of AWN gets banned due to a silly picture of an administrater who quite frankly, doesn't deserve such a position. Apparantly, the picture was considered a flame and hurt his feelings (he literally says such in that very thread).

I'm just glad that others are standing up to this sorry excuse of a back-up administrater. He has proven to everyone he's immature for a grown man, and overreacts to every little problem. Perhaps if he got out of his delusional state of mind where he believes he's a werewolf, he could accept an obvious joke and laugh along with all of them. It doesn't help matters that most of the more active yet newer members act as though they're cat-girls and flood the boards with caturday pics.

Oh yeah, the link leads to some forum-censored mild language that may traumatize and offend sheltered middle school children. Just a caution so that you can't blame it on me.

Today my English teacher went on again for a large majority of the class time to talk about how there's war and everything's bad and how dare we enjoy television because it doesn't teach us anything and we should read instead and how he worries about everything and his opinions-his opinions-his opinions.  It makes me feel bad.  I mean, the reason I'm there is to learn English, and instead he tells us a lot of negative things about the world.  Either that, or he tells us his own personal stories that don't relate to the topic at hand, whether the topic be about English or about the off-topic topic he already started.  What really bugged me today was I started making a point about how reading is like Raisin Bran and TV is like Apple Jacks, but he ust talked over me and went on for a while.  Why is he allowed to go on about his own problems while we can't say anything about ourselves?  If he really wanted to help the world, he could just better prepare us for college by teaching us what he's supposed to be teaching, and then we could go out and try to do something ourselves, instead of telling us about his own opinions and ideals all period long.  It makes me want to go to the bathroom but actually sneak to the other English class at that period, so I can learn what I'm supposed to.  There's nothing wrong with my teacher having opinions or problems, but it doesn't help us understand Paradise Lost or anything.

By the way, TV is like Apple Jacks because there's nothing really promising about it(it doesn't taste like apple) and it isn't really healthy in any way.  Meanwhile, reading is like Raisin Bran in that it's healthier or more beneficial in some way, and while it's not as sweet, it still has a pleasant taste.

Today my English teacher went on again for a large majority of the class time to talk about how there's war and everything's bad and how dare we enjoy television because it doesn't teach us anything and we should read instead and how he worries about everything and his opinions-his opinions-his opinions.  It makes me feel bad.  I mean, the reason I'm there is to learn English, and instead he tells us a lot of negative things about the world.  Either that, or he tells us his own personal stories that don't relate to the topic at hand, whether the topic be about English or about the off-topic topic he already started.  What really bugged me today was I started making a point about how reading is like Raisin Bran and TV is like Apple Jacks, but he ust talked over me and went on for a while.  Why is he allowed to go on about his own problems while we can't say anything about ourselves?  If he really wanted to help the world, he could just better prepare us for college by teaching us what he's supposed to be teaching, and then we could go out and try to do something ourselves, instead of telling us about his own opinions and ideals all period long.  It makes me want to go to the bathroom but actually sneak to the other English class at that period, so I can learn what I'm supposed to.  There's nothing wrong with my teacher having opinions or problems, but it doesn't help us understand Paradise Lost or anything.

By the way, TV is like Apple Jacks because there's nothing really promising about it(it doesn't taste like apple) and it isn't really healthy in any way.  Meanwhile, reading is like Raisin Bran in that it's healthier or more beneficial in some way, and while it's not as sweet, it still has a pleasant taste.

I wish I had your teacher. English is my worst class.

Markio, my math teacher was kinda like that.  In the middle of the class, he would rant on about how this entire generation is a bunch of lazy people who want everything to be easy.  This would all come up because someone couldn't get an answer on the calculator, or said that there is an easier way to do something.  One comment on how something could be easier would be all it took.  He also had the habit of lecturing us on how people say things like "When are we ever going to use this?" even when nobody said that.  And not just complain, but nearly yell at the class how we need to learn it anyway.  And we all knew that already, either from previous knowledge or a prior experience of him flying off the handle.

Other school angst, my school is going to sink to the point where no one will know what is going on, and the teachers are all going to quit because of the principal.  A few examples.  Well, one that actually involves me is, I am class treasurer.  I get the feeling that no one (in the offices, at least) knows that.  We're having a semi-formal dance on Friday, and the class officers (President, Vice, Secretary, and Treasurer) are selling the tickets.  Or at least thats what I heard for the first time today.  So I ask the guidance office, and she says she thought the dance was cancelled.  I go to ask the principal, but she's not there.  Just a whole lot of confusion.

Also, she's cutting back the spending for all the teachers' classes.  I don't know about any other departments, but the science teachers got shafted out of some cheap, moderately important items.  Nothing that costs a bundle, just lab folders, things you don't expect the student to get.  Actually, one teacher was told she couldn't order pencils.

My horn, a silver horn, is currently unusable, as valve 3 is frozen (It will not move if one were to try and push it down). I've been using another horn for awhile, until today, when the band teacher gave me another horn, one I actually dislike.

Valve 1 on this horn will go down, but it goes back up pretty slowly, almost too slow to use in fast pieces (and I must play quite a few of them where fancy finger work is involved). No one believes you when you say "It's not that I used the wrong fingering, it's that this horn's first valve is terrible at returning to its original position", and just assume you yourself are bad at the instrument.

Though I might've found a possible cause. The string for the first valve is damaged. Maybe if restrung with new string, it might be a little better.

Well, my dream has just been crushed for all eternity.

My parents were thinking about vacation destinations and I suggested a trip down Route 66. Then they say the unthinkable...

"WE DON'T HAVE THE TIME."

What do they mean, we don't have the time? I says "We'll never have the time if we don't make the time. Besides, it'd be worth it." I make my innocent little girl face, since that usually helps push my opinions' strength. They just ignore it. Apparently, they don't care that they've just crushed one of my dreams. They tell me ever so kindly that I can go when I'm older and have my own life to do with what I want. I tell them...

"I don't wanna wait until then, because then I'll hafta do it by myself. A trip down Route 66 isn't fun solo."

"You'll have a husband by then, you can take him."

That makes me laugh. Do they honestly think I'm gonna get married? They're just too concerned about what they want rather than my dreams. That's gonna stay with me till my dying day...

"WE DON'T HAVE THE TIME."

"WE DON'T HAVE THE TIME."

"WE DON'T HAVE THE TIME."

"WE DON'T HAVE THE TIME."

"WE DON'T HAVE THE TIME."

Thanx a lot, Mom and Dad... *dies*

I have ANGST against people that get easily confused whenever somebody is talking about Toad (the important character) and Toads (the species). It comes up a lot in debates (at GameFAQs, since that is the only other forum that I visit) that Toad either isn't..

A) important enough to be a character, even though he's been around since the beginning.
B) Not unique enough, even though they decide to put a Yoshi, a Pikachu, a Jigglypuff, a Pichu, a Mewtwo..
C) He's never fought before in any game (which makes a ton of sense, since before the SSB series, most of these characters hadn't fought either *Captain Falcon*)
D) Is Peach's Shield! (quiet possibly the dumbest arguement, as they could easily replace the Retainer in question with another one, Perry, or just change the move all together, thus making Toad a candidate for playable character.

There are other reasons, but those 4 are the most numerous at GameFAQs. It just makes me want to tell these young kids that the SSB series is about classic characters battling it out. Classic characters. Most of us really don't want to see which form of Link from Majora's Mask could take on which latest Pokemon. We want to see which older characters (like Pit) could take on other older characters (like Toad).

Anyway, I do remember that Sakurai (sp?) had a list up some time ago (on his Japanese website), and that people who translated the page said that Toad was the 3rd character on the list, and Sakurai (sp?) found Toad's suggestion to be "interesting" (Not sure whether that meant he liked the suggestion, or was just tossing it aside..)

On the subject of sugary cereal, I prefer the flavor-covered square genre. I'm talking Golden Grahams. Puffy shapes come second, like Reese's Puffs and S'Mores cereal. I'm not really one for flakes that easily succumb to sogginess, except Honey Bunches of Oats. I really love the Honey Bunches of Oats.
And on the subject of cereal involving ANGST, I hate Cheerios and that's all we ever have. The sister says she wants Cheerios and I eat my cereal and the Cheerios aren't even open. And then my folks don't buy cereal the next few grocery store trips 'cause the Cheerios are still there, looming over you like a big circular emperor, making it apparent that we have cereal. Sigh.

Anyway, I have ANGST because I'm having a heck of a time finding episodes of an old cartoon I like. I've seen a few and I must see the others, but I can't find any!

I am about to go into severe ANGST mode. You've been warned.

After struggling to keep ahead for about two months, LD finally passed me in post count, usurping my long-held position of having the second highest number of posts. I managed to meet my first goal--making it through the year 2006 before he passed me--but I failed my second goal, reaching 5000 posts before he passed me. I was doing really well, too! I'd finally gotten to a point where I felt relatively safely ahead of him so that I didn't have to worry. But nooooooooooooo, he had to swoop in and post 11 times in a row yesterday night, and yet another blow of 10 posts tonight. Who does that? That's insane! No one needs to post that much that quickly.  Thanks a lot, LD, you've made me lose all hope.

If that weren't enough, I know this is horrible and I feel bad for feeling this way, but I feel somewhat insulted that I didn't win ANY ADVANCED awards this year, considering I won several last year. I don't care about the amount, but at least one would've been nice.

I also have ANGST because my mom somehow managed to mess up my MP3 player, and I have absolutely no idea how she could've done that, even just by fiddling with random buttons. It's not like it's that hard to figure out how to use in the first place.

More ANGST because I want to transfer to a specific college for next spring, doing one more semester at my current school, but apparently it's Fall or nothing. (Pun unintended.) So I need to figure out what I'm going to do ASAP and I don't feel like dealing with it.

Continue the ANGST because of the annoying overly-commercialized incredibly sappy holiday coming up that makes people all obsessive and whiny. Haha, my whining about others' whining is so hypocritical. Anyway, the whole thing just gives a depressing vibe, and I don't want to be sucked into it.

I also have a paper due Tues, but eh. I'm exhausted and I'm rambling and more than anything I feel like I keep getting blows to my head...or ego, or something. I've thought about it for several months now, but don't be surprised if I severely cut back on my involvement here. Keeping my post count ahead and completing the awards stuff has really been my only motivation for being active here. Other than duty, I guess. I'm not making any promises, though, either way.

I'm such a selfish person, it's terrible. :(
I'm going to go now and sit in my corner and cry.

Post by: Sapphira on February 12, 2007, 08:32:06 PM
I have ANGST whenever someone says they "need to get a girlfriend/boyfriend." No you don't. It's one thing to think it'd be nice, or wanting to find a deep connection with a person (be it romantic or not), or wanting to have someone to love (you don't need a romantic relationship for that, either). But saying you need one? That's so desperate. And shallow. Do you really think having one will magically fulfill all your desires, make you feel better about yourself? That's probably the most common expectation people have--and the biggest (and most selfish) mistake, as well.

Until one learns to be content single, comfortable and happy with oneself, he or she will never be content in a relationship, at least not for very long.

On another note, if someone doesn't want to be with you because of what you look like, they're shallow and not worth your time. If they don't want to be with you for some other reason, I suggest introspecting and seeing if there's something unattractive about your character, and if there is, work on that. Don't loathe yourself, especially for genetics. Character is infinitely more important than looks.

CTOAN, you're only 13. You shouldn't even be WORRYING about relationships at this point in your life.

Post by: CrzyFlmngMnkyHead on February 12, 2007, 09:33:50 PM
At this point, almost 80% of the 7th grade boys has a girlfriend. And by 8th grade, the boys that don't have a girlfriend are either considered an introvert who deserves no friends or are just gay.
Also, from my observations, most of the girls on the West Campus (my campus) care only about looks.
I'm not trying to start a flame war, or anything related. I'm just posting the facts that I've noted.

EDIT: Wait, maybe I do have a chance of getting a girlfriend by the end of 8th grade...
...if that WWI movie wants to cooperate with me.

I'd say your observations concerning the 8th grade are partially true, but I'm quite certain that 80% is too high to be true.

In physics today, I was penalized 2 points for employing the use of the distributive property of equality.

The Problem involved momentum. As I added the initial momentums together, I realized that subtracting a negative would be more worn on the calculator, therefore I took out the negative one and put it in the from of the problem.

(Mi)(Vi)+(Mi)(-Vi) = (Mi)(Vi)-(Mi)(Vi)

I am pretty sure that is correct...

 I got the correct answer to the problem. My teacher apparently didn't like me doing the problem like that. I find that hard to believe, especially because we learn math for a reason. I really hate it when people pretend that they know stuff, but they really know nothing about it. I should not be penalized, especially for getting the correct answer and doing everything according to the laws of mathematics.

I agree with Suffix. If you're going to write like that, at least use spoiler tags so we can read it more easily.

Also, are you worrying about this because Valentine's Day is coming? If that's why you're trying to get a girlfriend, I find that even worse than trying to have one just to "fit in."

I have ANGST because I'm entering the phase where I think I'm schizophrenic again.  Or else Schizotypal, Avoidant, Paranoid, Bipolar, or Obsessive-Compulsive.  One of those...  That's just weird, a cycle where you think something's wrong with you and then you don't?  That's weird in itself.  Oh well, it's probably just adolescent mood swings or something else plausible...

Occuring only a few months after the November 7th Incident (http://supermariowar.wikispaces.com/November+7th%2C+2006), today on the 72dpiarmy forum, a previously banned member re-joined. Again. And again. And again. And again. And again (x34). Today, former member Zash created over 40 multiple accounts, many are just accounts that are wordplay on current members (ex. member - "Narutopie", Zash creates "Narutocake". Member - "bobmanperson" (me), Zash creates "bobguydude"). More details later...

Post by: Sapphira on February 21, 2007, 02:59:54 PM
I would think the closer you are to a person, the harder it is to lose them. I think what makes it easier, though, is if you make peace with losing them before they're actually gone, making the best of the remaining time you have with them. That may be why is wasn't as hard for you, Solid. Unfortunately, we don't always have that luxury, and not only do we feel a loss knowing we won't see them again (in this lifetime), but we feel another loss, that we didn't get the chance to get to know them better, to say goodbye--or that we had the chance, but took it for granted.

I've never had anyone really close to me die, although I can imagine what it's like. I hope things get better for you guys (whoops, this isn't the HOPEFUL thread); they will in time.

I can't understand RPG lingo. Then again I don't care much.

I was close to my aunt when she died several years ago. It still hurts to think about her, of course, but I have tried to go on, because I know she wouldn't have wanted me to just sit around and cry over her.

Sorry SSM *hugs*.

 I still miss my uncle. He died in October. We were really close. My uncle told us to be happy that he was going to back to God and not to cry over him before he died, but I cried my eyes out the morning he died and on his hand while we were in the hospital and I was depressed for the next 2 days...God, I can't go on.

 My grandmothers haven't passed, but they live in different states so I don't get to see them a lot. My grandfathers both are dead. One of my grandfathers died in the war. I still have a space in my heart that is longing for a grandfather. The one that isn't there.

Negative. April comes before May.
Edit: But just saying that alone seems heartless and cold. When I think about it, I really haven't lost a close relative. Neither grandpa is still around but my maternal one (who was closer) died when I was three and these things aren't as intense. Then my paternal one, when I was 8 or 9, but he lived in Texas, separated by miles AND first language, so we weren't as close... One thing I can tell you is to let it out where you should. Like, there's this guy at school who thinks he has the right to be a complete jerk for any form of attention just because he's going through a situation similar to yours. Uncool. But that's what this topic is for, venting.
Edit 2: I have always felt the same as Pt_Peach, like having a grandpa would be really cool. But, hey, whatchagonnado?

I symphathise with you all. My uncle recently died, and I was completely depressed for, like, ever. I'm still pretty sad now. And my grandma has Alzheimers, causing her to act completely weird all the time. It's not even lovably senile weird, it's just really sad weird. In fact, the doctors say her condition is deteriorating and she doesn't have too long to live.

Would there be any reason I could not use the Nintendo Wi-fi USB connector to get online with my Wii?  It works wonders for my DS, but I can't get the Wii and the connector to work.  The computer can "see" the Wii, and vice versa, but when the connection test starts, it just takes 5 minutes, and then gives a code for the tech support at support.nintendo.com.  And it doesn't do me any good, since not only does it not mention the Wii at all, but all the problems they state make no sense.  I have the internet, the connector is in, the Wii is on...It's just really frustrating.  Also, I have no idea where to get the WEP for the router I have, so I can't skip this annoying little problem.

Post by: Mr. Melee on February 23, 2007, 03:24:38 PM
Yes, there is a way you can connect your Wii with your Nintendo Wi-Fi USB connector. I'm not very sure about the way (plugging the USB connector into the Wii? Most likely not...), but you can access your router by following this link: http://192.168.1.1/start.htm. I am positive there is a way, though, as Nintendo Power has confirmed this (in Issue 212's Pulse).

Oops, I guess I have no ANGST to report. Sorry.

You can usually get to your router from http://192.168.1.1/ and your problem is probably firewall related because I'm pretty sure the USB connector is supposed to support Wii.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: CoconutMikeNIke on February 23, 2007, 09:38:35 PM
The firewall idea would make more sense if I couldn't get the DS to work.  But after successfully playing online with the DS, I tried with the Wii, and no such luck.  Is the Wii more of a stickler about security?  Also, 192.168.1.1 gets me Test Page for Apache Installation when I try.

Today, some psychotard decided to attack me for no reason. I made one comment today during P.E. This guy, who's friends with that psychotard, is TERRIBLE at all sports (except line dancing). So, he scores on our own team - twice, and when he gets a chance to score against the other team, he decides to pick up the ball (we were playing soccer), which would be a penalty for us. So I said to one of my friends, "[guy's name] is going to lose the game for us... yay." And then that psychotard overhears and he's like "DON'T INSULT HIM!!!!!!11111one" and he puts me in a headlock and (attempts) to punch me in the face, but misses. So then some of my friends come over to try to get that psychotard off of me, and while he's partially seperated, he attempts to kick me in a certain area. At this point, I'm punching him in the stomach. My friends try to seperate us again, but that psychotard escapes and goes after my eyes (trying to blind me, I assume). I was lucky. He misses my eye BY LESS THEN A CENTIMETER. Had one of my friends not grabbed him at the right moment, I would've been blind in my right eye. Finally, the teacher comes to break it up, and he sends us all (me, 3 friends, a wittness, [guy's name], and psychotard) to peer mediation. And now I have this huge scar that goes along the right side of my face.

That guy has anger issues.

I second PaperLuigi. I don't care if this "psychotard" started going at you with his feet. You either:

1. Not fight back, and wait for your friends and teacher to get him away, taking any damage he DOES give out. Take it like a man or a baby, either way shows you're the better person.
- OR, a very wise alternative, one I would've chosen myself -
2. Keep your mouth shut to avoid confrontations like this in the first place.

Besides, it's phys. ed. It's JUST A GAME, supposed to be all in good fun. If you lose, no big deal. Making comments like that will, as you just experienced, obviously end up badly.

But you've grown and learned from this, eh?
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Lizard Dude on February 24, 2007, 04:13:58 AM
I don't think the comment was bad at all. If some guy's losing the game for you, it's fine to say, "That guy's going to lose the game for us." And after avoiding a punch to the face and a kick to the bedoinkers, it is reasonable to fight back. I personally would not fight back in a schoolyard situation, but it is not inconceivable to think of a human doing so.

Post by: CoconutMikeNIke on February 24, 2007, 06:24:49 PM
I was in the middle of a match of MPH, and the L trigger on my DS decides to not work.  So now I am completely unable to fight back, and I'm just dodging attacks.  I think the guy realized either I had given up, or something was wrong, because he didn't seem to try any more.  Figures, I start playing Metroid again, and now the most important button is busted.

Do you ever have one of those days, where you click on a random personailty disorder on the list you were looking at, and it matches you perfectly?  Well, I just did.  I know, it's probably all in my head and this probably annoys you that you have to read this, but it's the ANGST thread, so there.  I think I have Histrionic Personality Disorder.  Just look at these symptoms:

-uncomfortable unless the center of attention
-dresses provocatively and/or exhibits inappropiately seductive or flirtatious behavior
-shifts emotions rapidly
-acts very dramatically--as though performing before and audience--with exaggerated emotions and expressions, yet appears to lack sincerity
-overly concerned with physical appearance
-constantly seeks reassurance or approval
-gullible and easily influenced by others
-excessively sensitive to criticism or disapproval
-low tolerance for frustration, easily bored by routine, often begins projects without finishing them or skipping from one event to another
-doesn't think before acting
-makes rash decisions
-self-centered, rarely shows concern for others
-has difficulty maintaining relationships, often seems fake or shallow in dealings with others
-threatens or attempts suicide to get attention

OK, maybe you don't know me well, because I lie a lot, but every single one of those apply to me very well.  Maybe I'm just being a hypochondriac, or I'm quadruple-guessing myself, but I think it's very possible I have this disorder.  There are other symptoms I didn't list that also apply to myself; I didn't leave out any that didn't apply though, because that would be manipulating the system to fit my own needs, and I want you to believe me when I explain how possible this is.  This is freaking me out.  I want to ask my friends if they agree about certain symptoms tomorrow.  OK, I'll shut up now.

Guys this is horrible. I just logged onto my Yahoo email account to find all the messages I had been saving for up to a decade in some cases had been mysteriously deleted. I lost tons of important memories and info.

Not only that, but in my inbox was a new message from this girl I was sorta trying to get with. In the message she was enraged about several things that I supposedly wrote, but I never did. Now I may never find true love.

I guess I got hacked?

Re: Markio

#1) I think (without any real evidence, I guess, besides my own experience) that whenever presented with a list of Things To Watch Out For in relation to a disorder or problem, one naturally strives to think up how they could possibly fit each one. Since most people have acted most ways at some time or another, it's generally possible, too. Not saying this is what you're doing exactly, but your post made me think of this thought, which I think of a lot when I see lists like that but have never written down.

#2) It seems these days that there's a personality disorder for everything, and I don't worry too much about them. If no one had a personality disorder, we'd all have the exact same personality, ya know?

#3) If you really threaten or attempt suicide to get attention, that one's a little worse than the others. Might want to quit / get help.

Re: Lizard Dude

#1)  I understand what you mean about tricking oneself into believing one has something when faced with a list of things that people can have... er, yeah.  For awhile this whole disorder thing has been an issue in my life because as time goes by I continue to feel/act different than anyone else and I can't ever explain myself.  My sister always tells me that it's just adolescence, and I try to follow that because it seems the most practical thing to accept and work past(even though she sees a therapist now, lucky).  Even if I don't have this disorder, which is just as possible as having it, I think I should continually clarify my feelings to myself and decide whether I'm being irrational or not.

#2) Yeah, worrying doesn't help, and there doesn't seem to be any reason to worry anyway.  Having a PD is irrelevant: we're all special already!

#3) Don't worry, that stopped a year ago.  The only thing that is really bothering me now is that I'm basically just agreeing with what you said.

I guess the point I should be trying to make is that I've seen the different disorders before now, and I've always felt compatible to all of them by like a few symptoms, but that's probably really normal; but this one happens to fit perfectly.  Chances are I'll never try to get diagnosed, but at least I feel like I can explain myself to myself now.  I'm tired of trying to figure out why I get upset at dumb things, and if it's just my desire to be the center of attention, I could dismiss myself as silly and act more maturely in regards to my actions.
I mean, if a symptom of the disorder is a lack of thinking before acting, I should try to think more before I act.  That's a good principle whether one has a disorder or not.  Like most people, I do stupid things, and I should face my problems regardless of any disorder.
So now I'm back where I started.  What came out of this discovery?  Besides a realization that we should live by our principles, nothing really.  I guess this whole dispute I brought up should really only have been discussed as far as to say:

"Hey, I found this disorder that fits me perfectly.  Isn't that weird?  Now I feel uncomfortable."

So now I guess I want to apologize for bringing the attention of everyone to myself, when this thread is meant for everyone to complain in!  But subconsciously I probably brought it up to bring attention to myself in the first place.  That's why I think I'd have this disorder, but honestly, I should try to be unselfish anyway.  Thanks for your comments, Lizard Dude, because it made me pursue this idea as far as it can go, and now it can die peacefully.  And I feel better!

As for the main topic, I have angst because I haven't done my homework yet for Monday.

I like the snow, but I'm glad that winter's almost over. I kind of get sick of the cold weather, and would rather be warmer than colder sometimes.

Now for some ANGST.. I was in a car accident yesterday afternoon/evening. There was a line of traffic to my right and I was in the left lane. They were being nice and letting someone out, but we didn't see eachother until we were hitting eachother. My car's airbags deployed, giving my left hand a serious rug burn (it almost looks like I burned myself in a fire) and the right front area of my car looks bad.

Her car was leaking what looked like radiator fluid, and she asked the police to help her tow it away. My car was driveable, but I drove my dad's truck to my parents. Once inside the house, I cried and cried (probably mostly from shock, but my parents had been mad at me before the accident..)

I was at my apartment and unwinding after I got off of work at 2pm. I told my parents I would come over because I was expecting a new computer in the mail.. well, I decided to eat something and play a game for a "little bit". A little bit ended up being 2 hours, and my dad comes over and knocks on the door, and tells me we need to go home because mom has been waiting for me. He yells at me a bit because it looks like I've been just playing games since I got off of work (they are more supportive of my gaming than it sounds like..), then tells me to follow him home.

I gather up a couple of things and put them in my car, and he takes off one way and I go another.. apparently there is more than one way to get to my parents' from my apartment. (-_-;)

Anyway, I'm going to go eat breakfast and take some medicine. I haven't been to see a doctor yet(hopefully I won't need to), but the police and my parents have both told me that if I feel more pain than should be necessary, then we will go to the doctor.

Sorry about the lengthy post, but I've had a lot on my mind as of late.

I ordered lunch today (which should have ensured me getting my meal, whether or not someone else got there first), and I still didn't get my meal, because the high school didn't get enough meals. This is especially annoying, because today's lunch was one of the few edible meals they sell, and probably the best one they sell, too. I'm just glad I get free lunches, because if I actually paid for the lunch I didn't get...

Who was throwing away computers and MP3 players? You guys must be rich.

I was told today that I need to hurry to lunch so that what happened yesterday doesn't happen again. Problem is, lunch and every class I have after it is on the opposite side of the school as my locker, so I tend to grab everything for those three classes immediately after lunch, to save valuable time between classes. Fortunately, one of those classes is gym, so all I have to grab for it is my badminton racket (because the school ones are crap, of course), but I also have band and science, so I have to grab my music folder (because the school has a pretty good keyboard, and I have my own at home) and my science books. In addition to this, I carry my PDA and at least 2 books at any given time. I'm beginning to think that I should do what some of my friends do: break one of the rules and carry a backpack to classes. Considering how many rules I'm probably breaking right now...

Thank you, guys! I actually feel relativley normal today, and haven't run into any of the soreness that everybody was telling me I was supposed to start feeling today. I expect that will happen in the next couple of days..

I wish the person that I hit's insurance company would call, though, so that we can get somebody to look at my car. I'm starting to feel a little bit ticked that they haven't called yet, but I understand that insurance companies are busy.

Besides, my fiancee said that she could take me to work for a couple of days, until we get my car fixed (or, if worse comes to worse, use the check they are likely going to give me as a payment on a new used car).

Huh? That doesn't seem like a bad report card at all. That's a terrible thing to say to someone's own child. Ask her nicely to apologize. If she doesn't, ask more assertively. If that doesn't work either, try going to someone, like a guidance counselor, and tell them what your mother told you. They might be able to fix something.

As much as I find you annoying, I cannot tolerate parents who say things like that to their own children.

From what I've heard about CTOAN's mother, I would not like her very much. I'll control my temper and not start a very long rant on how I hate poor parents, but saying "go drop out of school and commit suicide"  to your child is not okay. Not even doom Music will justify it. But really, CTOAN, I don't see how that's a very bad report card.

Oh, and Vid's right, you should take a stand against your mother; it's your life and not her's.

I wish my report cards back in school looked like that.. I was a B's and C's student. My parents were not mad at me, though, because they knew that I would try hard to get B's and C's. They were proud if I brought home all B's.

But, they would never tell me "to go drop out of school and commit suicide". I mean, they might say it as a joke, when we get to joking around (my family is very light hearted a lot of the time), but they would never say something like that and mean it.

Are you sure you're not adopted?.. ok, now seriously, I agree with the others: Go tell somebody what your mom told you. The sooner you stomp on this problem, the sooner it can be over.

I guess she doesn't realize that colleges don't look quite so much at what grades you made so much as look at how advanced the classes are that you took. And you're not even in 9th grade yet?

My parents have always said what matters is the effort, not the grade. If we try our best and get a D, they won't be mad at us, although they'd probably be like WTD toward the instructor.

I'm way harder on myself than my parents are on me. Ever since middle school, I've been like "I MUST get all A's!" to the point it's made me sick. Literally. My parents have had to reassure me that a B isn't the end of the word, but I'm still like, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooo!!!" (I did end up getting one B senior year in an honors class where I pretty much made up the entire course's worth of material in one day. One B tarnished my straight-A record in HS. That still kills me. Although ~8 WPs is what looks pretty bad on my transcript.)

That's a horrid thing to tell a child. That's not even a bad report card!!! That's actually fairly good for math and Spanish isn't even your native language. So there. Don't let your mom put you down. DO NOT commit suicide.

Well, my mom always pushes me to do my best in school. But she will not accept an F, D, or C. She says that I can do better and pushes me (gently, motherly-like) to do better. It always works...well, most of the time. She has never told me that I won't make it to so-and-so if I don't do this. She says that we must go to school, get an education, and make better the world and get a job so we won't be living on the streets....and so we can take care of her :D

On last semesters report card, I got A's in everything besides science and math. B in science. Blah, I don't like science. That research report on Liger's saved my hiney. And I probably got a C in math. For some reason, the grade wasn't on my report card. A 'C' is bad. Bad...bad...in math, that is. Gotta work harder...

I used to obsess over my grades. I did make myself sick. Sick for weeks on end but still doing math. I got a B and nearly worked myself to death to raise it. Even though the test grade never raised. Ya. It really helped though, in the first years of middle school, that I had a wonderful lady-teacher who really thought highly of me. Now I have cooled down. I am stressing over math right now. But that's it. My new guy-teacher. Well, lets just say he's a bit on the lazy side and doesn't bother.

Wow...I got a 4.0 GPA in the 6th and 7th grade.

I wrote a lot :D.

I don't exactly remember them, but for all I care I got an F in Algebra, and as soon as my Mom figured that out, she gave me a 5 hour rant on what a bad kid I was and that I wasn't going to be successfull (In a really bad sort of way, swearing, Insults, You=nothing lots of stuff.)... I cried that night and told her I would never speak to her again, then at the end of those hours she tried to comfort me and say I could do better but I told her to (insert something bad) off.

Quote from: cantthinkofaname's profile
Age: 13

Quote from: cantthinkofaname's mother
"go drop out of school and commit suicide [long version of a lecture about living a really crappy life]" ... "[you'll] never get into any Ivy League college".

Yep, that's what I'm telling my children during middle school. That a C on an 8th(?) grade report card is grounds for not succeeding at anything. Never mind that colleges only look at high school GPA. Also, next time your mother brings up "WHAT YOU'LL NEVER GET INTO AN IVY LEAGUE SCHOOL" -- do a bit of research on how much that actually costs. My original first choice in schools was about $42,000 a year with few scholarships (and, by the time you get to be college-aged, I suspect that it'll be between 20-40% more expensive), and I decided I'll go to a much larger school where I'm essentially attending for free (almost). In hindsight, this was a very good decision that turned out better than I thought, because I'd have gone into engineering instead of statistics, and the latter is much more interesting to me.

I've seen enough irrational parenting to not be -that- surprised someone would say this.

As for class rank, I was either 11th or 9th depending on where you take this mark from. That is, of course, completely meaningless now, two years later, as will be your SAT/ACT scores. Just a heads-up.

I guess my point is, what happens at your age really doesn't play a part in what happens later in life all that much. Of course, if you take her advice and drop out of school, you actually -will- be wasting your life (but I figure you realise that).

I'm not quite sure that money is a huge factor in CTOAN's family, if I recall correctly. But regardless, Ivy League schools don't always give you a better education, they just give you an eyebrow-raising diploma (even though it shouldn't raise eyebrows).

I'm enrolled and en route to Washington State University, which is even smaller than University of Washington, and I anticipate a fine education.

Speaking of class rankings, this is pretty lame (go competitiveness :/ ): At the end of freshman year (living in Cali), with straight A's (8 classes, only one of which was honors) I was 5 out of like 300.
I move to NC, my class rank goes down to about 30/300. I could've easily made valedictorian at my old high school, but at my "new" school I didn't even graduate in the top ten percent (although VERY close)--with almost all A's except for one stupid B in an honors class and a 4.25 GPA! What the dukar is up with that? (My final rank was 36/333; 10.81%; I only know this because I very recently needed my transcript.)

I like to be a "big fish in a small pond," I suppose, surrounded by underachievers to make my rank higher. Maybe I don't like having to deal with competition?

On another note, I took the route of going to a community college first, then transfering to a university. I'm glad I did, because I knew I would NOT have been ready for "university life"--not to mention it's a heck of a lot cheaper for the same exact courses. The downside is they may not provide as many options as you'd like (i.e. only offer Spanish and French as foreign languages; my HS had more options than that!). Another downside is when they advise you incorrectly and you have to worry about whether a class will transfer or you'll basically have to take it over. :/

Even university-wise, I think I have a good deal; assuming I'm accepted (which I was told I would have no problems with), which I'll find out this month, I'll be attending University of North Carolina, which is supposedly either the best or fifth best "bargain" college (best education for an excellent price) in the US. Plus I learned they have the best psychology program (my major/field of interest) in the state. So I'm excited, but that belongs in the other thread.

I don't think an Ivy League school is any better. They're pretty much filled with elitists, anyway. (I'm generalizing, sorry.) The only advantage I see is what Suffix said--it gets you more attention and possibly more clout, which is sad and shouldn't.

Weighted grades are only good for raising your GPA. Which is good, don't get me wrong, but hey, a B is a B. Some colleges un-weight your grade anyway, when looking to see if they want you there. So all they do is raise your GPA temporarily which raises your class rank which really only wins you bragging rights, unless you're valedictorian. Then you get some other privileges which I don't even know. Not that I'm complaining about this.

My friends, my choices, my everything. And I cry to let out my anger. Yeah, instead of doing what I would like to do (go stab something, yell, scream, punch, etc.) I cry.

And somehow, over all of these years, my mom has set up this reputation that I have. It's the reputation that I'm a good student who's very bright, which I have not been feeling the last couple of months. Random people at the masjid will come up and congratulate me on some academic thing or say "I heard *insert something about school here*". I'm like WTD cause I have no idea where they are getting this info from. Yeah, really confusing crap.

I hate getting a lot of attention, although I hate getting none. But my mom has set up a reputation for me. An all too good reputation for me. I wish it would disappear and some people would view me for who I am. Heh, heh, I'm not as good as she says.

Our high school had weighted grades for honors courses, which was idiotic at times. For example, people actually took AP Art History sophomore year. Are they interested in a career in the arts? Nope. It was an honors course that sophomores could take, so all the GPA-seeking students took it.

Conversely, anyone who took a band course could never be valedictorian because there were no honors band courses available. I was very pleased with my class rank for having played trumpet for 4 years.

Overall, class rank is so obscenely overrated it isn't even funny. Especially looking at colleges that sometimes throw out all non top-10% applications, even though being 40/350 in one school is much, much harder than being 1/800 in another.

High school, bleh.

Ugh... Parent-Teacher confrences were today...
My mom went INSANE after she heard that I was missing a few assignments from Spanish class.
My mom also went INSANE after she heard that my writing isn't that good.
My mom also went INSANE after she heard that my quiz average in History was a C (we only had two quizzes in that class; one was a B+ and the other was a C-).

So now I'm grounded for two months. It seems like she enjoys watching people suffer.

Well, as those in #tmk know, I have been having difficulties with my Wii console. Nothing was wrong earlier in the day. I was just playing WarioWare: Smooth Moves without any worry at all. Seven hours later, my Wii console will turn on, but nothing appears on screen. I unplugged and plugged back in many times over, but to nothing. So, I called Nintendo up today, and they're sending me a UPS shipping label so that I can send my console in for repair (or, if it boils down to it, a whole nother console). They don't know if my save data will be saved or not after they tinker with it, and I can only hope that it will. The best situation that can happen is that my Wii console can be successfully repaired and that my save data (and my Virtual Console games) will be saved. Mr. Melee BIG sigh. I'm going to be Wii-less for about a month or more.

CTOAN's mom is the living embodiment of the stereotype that asain parents are extremely strict on their kids academic progress.

As for me, I'm on the principal honor roll and I'm getting fast track classes (college classes you can take for AP credits on your transcript) next year so I'm safe academically. I don't think I've ever been this successful since Elementary. I'm so glad I decided to buckle up, focus and ditch my friends from middle school. Who knows how low they would've dragged me if I didn't break off all ties with them.

*Remembers this is the angst thread, not the hopeful one*

Well, my sister has gone from Naruto Fangirl to complete Narutard. Seeing her save all those SasuNaru fics and fanart makes me want to cry myself to sleep at times. I may have to bring her back to her senses, especially since she claims that she only reads those fics because they're so badly written, but I don't believe her.

Yeah, I did a double-take when I first read that...

I have a friend who is basically pretty normal, but with one problem: he assumes everything in real life is directly based on whatever stupid game/movie/show/trading card game he's interested at the moment. He thinks ninjas were just like Naruto (they were annoying, wore bright jumpsuits, had goofy '80s headbands, used magic-type stuff, and they had real ultimate power), and so, whenever I bring up ninjas (which, as you should know, if fairly often for me), he says "Oh, like in Naruto?!" And before that, whenever I brought up a phrase like "playing cards" or "monsters" or "cheap hardened paper", he would say "Ooh, like Yu-Gi-Oh?!?!" It's very annoying.

I had similar ANGST, then got Wario Ware: Smooth Moves.. Now I have slight ANGST because I went through the one player mode in Wario Ware within the first couple of hours of playing. Not that I'm not enjoying the game, I just thought there would be more to it..

and some SSBB ANGST: I really hope Bowser Jr is not a character in the upcoming SSB game. He is not worthy of a spot in SSB. He is entirely too new, and frankly just sucks as a character. If they want to put in a good evil character that is related to Bowser, one of the seven real Koopa Kids would work just as well, if not tons better than the little infrection known as Bowser Jr.

Why does everyone hate Bowser Jr. so much? Is it just because Nintendo decided to dump the Koopa Kids (who lacked personality in my opinion) and use someone different? If he's going to be in the next SSBB, what difference does it make? You do not HAVE to play as him.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: The Chef on March 11, 2007, 08:40:28 AM
Lacked personality in your opinion? That's actually a fact. The thing is, they huge amounts of character potential if Nintendo decided to keep them, but they didn't even get any lines in Mario & Luigi, and haven't made a legit appearence since then. As for Bowser Jr., he rightfull doesn't deserve to be in SSB as much the other Mario characters, as he hasn't done as much for the series as they have. If anything, Toad should get in before he does.

I can think of a thousand other good Nintendo characters that deserve to be in it before that little *&^% even deserves to breath the odor of the smallest skin cell on Mario's butt after he's been in one vs mode match. If Bowser Jr. is in it, that's just one character that doesn't get to make it in, and then he'll have to go home and tell his starving children that they won't get to eat tonight because daddy couldn't get into the next Super Smash Brothers. You wouldn't want that now, would you?

Okay, all jokes aside, Bowser Jr. sucks. He's been a character for like, what, 3 years now, and already Nintendo thinks he's star material. And what do you mean, "no potential"? It's not like Bowser Jr. has any. He's a clone of Bowser. Whoop-de-friggin-do.

Ah, but the fans would care, the people that buy the games and keep the people that make the games in business. Not that I'm saying SSBB won't still sell good if Bowser Jr. was put in. I just find Junior pointless, I see him as a bratty Bowser wannabee. He was impressive in Sunshine, because he was a worthy adversary and showed potential, but in later games ( such as NSMB ) he just got in the way of the real nemesis.

Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Vidgmchtr on March 12, 2007, 09:49:55 PM
So, I went to my school for a rehearsal for the show I am in the pit orchestra of from 6 PM to 10:30 PM (that's not the reason for this post), and the shirts that many people ordered had arrived.

They were supposed to have the names of everyone involved in the show, cast, crew, as well as the pit orchestra. They were SUPPOSED to. My name, due to an error of some sort, is not on the shirt. My conductor sees this and goes "weird, I put your name on the list and gave it to the people who make the shirts..."

This alone doesn't really annoy me a lot, but after I told my mother about this, she was furious. She then made a good point. Stuff like this seems to happen to me about 80% of the time.

For some reason, I'm almost always overlooked and not credited for stuff I took as much part in as anyone. My name might accidently be skipped, or omitted completely, or spelled incorrectly. Of course, these are all mistakes, but the fact that they happen so frequently does annoy me a little.

About 5 years ago, when I was in 8th grade, I was told I had won an award among a few other 8th graders in the middle school I was in.  My name was to be called, and I'd go up and receive that award. The night of this show, I saw the program, and saw that I was accidently called a different name (there was a guy who shared my last name but was not related to me. His name was on the program instead of mine, but he did not receive an award nor was he invited).

Back in December, at one of the Winter concerts I was in, my name had been in the program and everything. The conductor had been mentioning a few people in the ensemble who had solos. I, in a rare occasion, had one. The conductor had not called my name, though. After the concert, I had told him about this, and he said he realized this shortly after he started the piece we played, and had said "oops" to himself as he was conducting and heard me play my solo.

My mother also added on the car ride home about the fact that I had been promised to go on band trips not once, not twice, but three times, but have been told "sorry, you can't go" near the last minute. That doesn't have much to do with the fact that my name is sometimes omitted or spelled wrong on programs and shirts, just the fact that I'm always overlooked as a person.

My (real) name isn't hard to spell or pronounce. I don't understand why people have such a hard time with it...

Agh! I've created a monster! Now Lizard Dude's (er, Fnord's) primary interests are pillaging and burning villages! The only way to combat this menace is to change my name to something so awesome it strikes fear in the hearts of everything, even inanimate objects...

EDIT: Uh, how do I change my name? I can't strike fear with a name like "Glorb".

Fine, whatever, I'll change it back to PaperLuigi, even though I hate the name. Super Phoenix is the name of my favorite villian from a comic I read. It has absolutely nothing to do with the bird.

Well, I thought it was a good choice too. Everyone around here has a strange name. Heck, I don't even know what a Glorb is.

Post by: Mr. Wiggles on March 15, 2007, 06:15:51 PM
Phoenix alone is a great username. The super feels tacked-on and uninspirid, not to mention anyone with some knowledge of a phoenix knows it's already great enough without needing super to describe it.

Hay gaiz, change mah name to harmony cuz noone else has it kthxnbai.

Don't take that seriously, as I'm starting to see why Lizard Dude (I refuse to call him Fnord as it sounds too similar to Glorb and it doesn't fit him completely) hated name changes.

Post by: PaperLuigi on March 15, 2007, 08:49:49 PM
No, SuperPhoenix is the name of a comic book villian. I was not naming myself after the bird.

I've pretty much blown my chances at getting a name change, so I'll just stick with PL. And I think I'm gonna have some trouble calling Lizard Dude.......I mean Fnord, Fnord. Not to say it's not a cool name, just kinda stuck in memory.

I absolutely hate JROTC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jrotc). I've hated it ever since I was forced to join four years ago by my parents after my sister, who was Battalion Commander in her senior year, received a scholarship to get into college for free. The only advantage I saw to JROTC was it was an alternative to Gym. Nowadays I feel that Gym would've been the better class to join.

Shortly before I joined, I was promised many friends. Pardon my language, but what BS. Nearly all students in this program are complete jerks: stuck-up, arrogant jerks. Even those who are (or at least were) your friends from middle school shun you and mock you behind your back because JROTC is not your religion (as in, you don't/can't participate in every single JROTC event in existence on account that you have a life).

Because of this, I've turned into a social outcast in JROTC, a ghost. No one in it wants to speak to me or even acknowledge me, for the fear it might damper their petty reputations in exchange for any friendship. A JROTC kid today actually said "Hello Tom" but the kid next to him whispered shortly after "don't talk to him".

Oh crap crap crap crap
I totally bruised the crap of my toe last night and it hurts really bad. No BirdPerson, I won't cut another toe off to lose focus on the pain, nor will I give you $300. But what really sucks about this is that I have gym today, and without a proper excuse, I have to play. I dunno, I might just have to sit this day out.

Additionally, where did all of our warm weather go?! Yesterday it reached 80 degrees, and in the morning it was 50 degrees, but right now it's only 39 degrees (All of the preceding units are Fahrenheit).

I have ANGST because I'm sick.

I went to the doctor, and he told that I either have strep throat, or a virus that is remarkably similar. He diagnosed me with strep, noticed I didn't have any insurance, and gave me a slight discount on some pills that I will be taking for the rest of the week.

I have been miserable for the last two days. I had a 102 degree temperature, but I felt cold to myself. My fiancee and my mom both felt my forehead and told me how hot I was. I got a doctor's note for work today, but I hope I feel well enough to go in tomorrow.

I am dizzy and can't seem to quit coughing. I am going to go back and lie down now. :)

The girl who is playing Dorothy in the school's production of The Wiz gave me her sore throat. Hopefully this won't affect my performance in the Saturday and Sunday performances.

Eh, I have to say I feel really sorry for Toad.

I had that not too long ago, one day I was feeling really tired and wanted to go home from my sister's birthday party. (I mean really tired.) The next morning I woke up, left the room and was coming back in the hallway when all of the sudden I felt like my body was almost completely turned off, I couldn't get out of my position, I was walking down the hallway bumping into the walls, and then I reached my room and collapsed on a bed. I was shortly able to get back up, but I didn't feel any better.

This is a true story so I really hope you get over this one soon, I missed a ton of school because of it. :/

I have ANGST because I'm broke. I now have to limit myself to buying most everything (games, controllers, DVDs, underwear) used; I think all I have is $20. Granted, at my age I'm not expected to be super-rich and successful, but it's embarassing having to ask someone else to lend me money when I'm buying something that's ten bucks.

You KNOW what I meant. Ugh...Anyway, I brought a few Halls with me and I had them in between performances today.

One thing that bothers me is that in one of the songs, "Funky Monkey", one of the evil monkey dancers has a suit that just...smells....terrible. The platforms of the pit act as part of the stage in the musicals, so the cast members dance or walk on it every so often. There's one monkey dancer that dances about 12 inches from where I sit in the pit, and the smell of his suit emanates over to me every time he's there. It's hard to play with something that smells so bad is near you...

As do I.

I have angst because I don't get paid enough (though I do a relatively easy task), and half of what I do get paid goes toward buying myself lunches half of the days in that month (in other words, every day they serve something that'll make me sick); the other half goes toward me obtaining some sort of video game-related thing (this month, it's a Mr. Accessory). At least I get free lunches, which is helpful on days where the food is somehow edible.

My little sister's best friend has a crush on me, but I loathe her to no end. She makes it painfully obvious that she likes me, and I make it obvious that she annoys me. Yesterday, she just up to me out of the blue (knowing that I am a Pokemon fan) and gives me this horrible game (it's the one posted) that she bought/probably stole for me as a present.

I just stared at it and then looked at her and said, "Are you retarded or something?!?!"

She stares blankly and then starts crying and her mom got scared and said "you're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air!"

That's not really something you should say after someone gives you a GIFT.....As much as you might not like it, it's the thought that counts, as I'm sure you've heard about a million times in your life.

WARNING: Post contains material that may be offensive to some.

EDIT: Before all of this, Me and both Mikes get into an argument about weather or not we should throw rubber chickens and rubber pigs (I'm not joking) at this introvert who's only friend is his boyfriend. Mike 1 is tired of throwing stuff at him, and dosn't want to beat him up. However, me and Mike 2 think we should. Yeah, flame me with your insults on how not to beat up nerds and how not to gay bash, but everybody does it. I mean EVERYBODY. Even some of the girls do it too. If you havn't at least tripped him while he was running or stolen one of his books, you're considered to be one of his "boyfriends", and an introvert who deserves no friends.

Mike 1: ...Yeah, well, at least I'm not gay.
Me: You  have absolutely no proof that I'm gay.
Mike 1: Yeah, well I know that you think gays go to hell!
Mike 2: Hey, Chad, what if I said all short people are going to hell? Or if all Asians are going to hell?
Me: What if I said all hyperactive people that have a caffine addiction are going to hell?
Mike 1: Well, I'd take that as a compliment! It means I have more energy to beat you up with!
Me: Fine, then beat me up.
Mike 1: No.
Me: Beat me up. Beat me up like that girl you beat up yesterday.
Mike 1: Hey, [Mike 2], did I mention Chad thinks I'm not a gentleman?
Mike 2: Yeah you are! Chad's ****ing wrong.
Mike 1: Hey, Chad, I've had THREE girlfriends! How many have you had?
Me: Who gives a ****? I don't need one yet!
Mike 1: [lol]
Mike 2: [lol]
Me: **** you guys, I'll go somewhere where people don't treat me like a pile of crap!
Mike 1: And also, the only girl I beat up was you!
Me: At least I know how to be a gentleman!
Mike 1: I'm a gentleman! At least to girls that aren't ugly!
Me: Pssh. You don't know ANYTHING about being a gentleman.
Me: *walks out of gym*
Mike 2: Hey, you get back here!
Me: Why? I don't have a reason to.
Mike 2: Fine.
Mike 2: *runs to me*
Mike 2: *punches me in the stomach, then pushes me against the wall and runs away*

What's ironic about this is that Mike 1 and I used to be friends. I have absolutely no idea what I did to set him off.

That's the logic I choose the follow, and it's the logic that all of my peers choose to follow.
Simply going and telling an adult makes you look like you're weak and you can't stand up for yourself. And it's true. Just last year, I told my mom because of a bully problem (which, ironically, is Mike 2). Mike 2's dad talked to my mom, and Mike 2 promised it would never happen again. Guess what happened today.
And what if you're getting beat up in front of your girlfriend, and you just stand there and take it? When that happens, there's usually a 70% chance that you won't be seeing your girlfriend again (or maybe that's just my school).

And that's why the youth is going to make this country even worse than it has already been now.

Quote

Well that's fine, in elementary and middle school, because you're still young. In High school you will have to learn how to stand up for yourself, but you must do so in a non-violent way. If people think that's stupid, well, don't hang out with those people, because they might not really be true friends.

Quote
And it's true.
No, it's not. You'd still be the better person if you told somebody about someone who is troubling you rather than engaging in physical combat.

Well he most likely said that to please the adults who told him to make that promise and didn't really mean it. Nothing wrong with telling someone he's at it again.

Actually I'd bet you a million dollars she'd be just as disappointed in you as much as if you were to start a fight with her, unless she's a girlfriend who only likes you for your looks, and not your personality.

Besides, there'll be plenty of time for you to find another girlfriend, because chances are you're not going to be exchanging wedding vows with a girl you met in middle school.

You're still learning, child. In time, hopefully, you'll have different views on how bullies should be treated than you do now.

The way I was raised, I was taught that if somebody did something bad to you, you do something bad to them.


Do you realize there are certain people and religions that practice this belief? One being Satanism? I mean, not to say you belong to this group, but the belief that you must hurt someone after being hurt is something they practice. I really hope you don't take this the wrong way, but if you sat down and thought about what these people do, you might change your way of thinking. And by the way, telling an adult does not make you weak. Would you not tell the cops if someone broke into your house? Yeah, so mabey my example is a little lame, but I'm trying to tell you that adults are humans, just like you. And if your girlfriend doesn't want to see you after getting beat up, then ding-dang it, she ain't the right girl for you!

EDIT: Whew, I had to edit that a few times to make it perfect.

Gee, it all makes sense now!  I've been walking on frosting all these years.

I guess bullies ignore the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Vid's absolutely right.  So's PaperLuigi.  I've been telling this to a lot of people lately: You'll find your true friends are the ones that will stand by you and help you along your way, no matter what you do.  And even if they let you down, there's still someone who won't.

Oh jeez man. Where in the dukar is this nation's youth going to? Honestly, even though I'm still in middle school, ask anyone here that's in their late teens and twenties like Deezer, Chupperson, Sapphira, Fifth, Suffix, Lizard_Dude, or Luigison; I doubt that they really care about what happened in middle school. I also don't believe that any of the aforementioned members are currently in a relationship with someone from his or her middle school. In my opinion, ninety some percent of middle school kids are immature and need to really grow up, especially before they're capable of romantic relationships with each other. On a final note, I believe that the civilizations that ran on violence to select mates and leaders were made up of cavemen. So yeah, time to start building our middle schools out of rock.

Also, AAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH STUPID WEATHER DIEDIEIDIEDIEIDIEDIEIDIEDIE
Yesterday it was the start of spring, and 50 degrees in the morning. It got much warmer, around the seventies actually, that day. Today, is a different story. Right now it is 7:17 AM, and the temperature outside is 33 degrees, with the high being aroung 50. DANG IT WON'T YOU STAY WARM?! Also, this rapidly changing weather is taking a toll to my sinuses, I've been having coughing problems and a stuffy nose for around two weeks because of this stupid weather. AAAAAAAAA!

Wow, that was a long post.

My philosophy is this: If a fight begins with an insult, end it with a snappy comeback, then walk (or perhaps run) away. If it begins with a punch, then end it with a swift kick to the groin, then run (or perhaps walk) away.

Yeah, flame me with your insults on how not to beat up nerds and how not to gay bash, but everybody does it. I mean EVERYBODY. Even some of the girls do it too. If you havn't at least tripped him while he was running or stolen one of his books, you're considered to be one of his "boyfriends", and an introvert who deserves no friends.

It sounds like you're the one with the problem. Just because everybody else does it doesn't make it right. If everybody else jumped off a cliff, would you?

That kid may be introverted because he's being picked on all the time. I was a quiet little thing for a while becuase I was picked on all the time. Is he happy? Does he act happy? If he acts happy, then somebody should take him somewhere quite so that he can talk to somebody and let them know that he's being picked on all the time. He'll feel better and then people can start being nicer to him.

That poor kid. I can relate to how he feels.. I was picked on a lot during my school days too, up through the high school. I never let it bother me, though, because I was somehow smart enough to realise that kids are cruel, and that they are also in the process of growing up. Eventually, everybody noticed how calm and happy I was all the time and liked me because I was happy all the time. I could have hung out with whoever I wanted, but just stuck with my friends.

:(
Fun Fact: That's How Columbine happened. Stop picking on the kid. Really, nothing justifies making someone feel bad about themselves and everyone else. It would take more of a man to stand up for him, and I mean it. It would take a real man and certainly not a  person you may label as "gay" to stand up to everyone else in the school and make the most unfortunate kid in the school feel loved. I've done something before in the same vein (or would it be another spelling of that word?) and I must tell you, it felt a heck of a lot better than social acceptance. Additionally, your last sentence really makes me lol. If you stand up for a kid, he'll be your friend. I also seriously believe that he would make a much better friend than those Mike losers, or anyone else in the school.

Also, Toad is right. I've recently started to realize that the social "machine" and stuff that picks on people like me is just a bunch of morons. I imagine Toad and I would have been pretty good friends if we were in school together.

Well, you guys are middle schoolers. You guys don't know better yet. It happened at the middle school I went to, as well. Middle school children are at the point in their lives where they're not quite young children anymore, but not mature enough to be considered young adults. They group the children in this group because most of them (if not all) hit puberty (*shudder* that word rubs me the wrong way) at this point. They do this for a good reason. The hormones in their bodies are going crazy, and they feel the only way to be dominant is to be offensive and jerky so they don't get put down themselves. Most children do not leave this mode until after their freshman year of high school.

A friend of mine, who is a freshman himself, once told me he was surprised at the amount of openly gay students there are in the high school we go to, and how everyone respects them. I told him that most students mature in high school around their sophomore year, when they realize they're not "all that" with their attitude anymore. They see the upperclassmen helping out, being all-around nice people, swearing a LOT less (or not at all, you'll learn to do this as well, because you won't get far with a potty mouth), and then usually say to themselves "Hey, I don't have to be like the way I was in middle school anymore" and start to settle down.

A couple of years from now you'll see older students that are exactly the way I described, and with this "monkey-see, monkey-do" habit of you and the rest of the people in your grade, you guys will act the same way.

Me: You  have absolutely no proof that I'm gay.
Mike 1 never called you gay. For some reason you thought he called you gay, which set off Mike 2. Now it's clear how it happened. Mike 1 was referring to the introvert, not you. I think your whole school is messed up and everyone there needs to stop being so homophobic and mean.

He pity danced with the 6th grader when he (the weird guy) was in 7th grade.
Also, we have proof that he's gay. He went up to one of my friends (we'll just call him "Andrew") and said "...I like you." He also went up to another friend (we'll call him "Victor") and asked him if he (the introvert) could walk Victor home that day. Not gay? I don't think so.
Also, that has a big effect on me as a person. It makes me look: a) not gay (you have no idea how many times I've been accused of being gay), b) tall, and c) not weak.

I usually try to contain my anger here, but AGH. I have never heard anything so close minded in my life.
1. Well aparrantly, your whole school is filled with close-minded homophobes.
2. Being homosexual is his life, why do you hate him for it? It's not lke you should actually care.
3. So did a lot of people in the 1700s
4. And? Lots of men that dance ballet require great skill and strength. I'd like to see you dance ballet.
5. I've never danced with a girl either, but so what? I'm 14 years old. I'll have plenty of time to deal with girls when I'm older. Especially since no middle school girl interested in having a relationship is actually amture enough to have one.

Also, it makes me lol that abusing a kid is acceptable because it makes you look better. That's REALLY FUNNY! For one, when middle school kids call you gay, they're just immature idiots that are insecure and need to make other people feel bad. Next, you are short, aren't you? There's nothing you can do about your small stature except accept it. And lastly, how does picking on someone who's already being horribly picked on make you look not weak. Like I said before, even though you probably ignored it, You'd seem  much freakin' tougher if you stood up for the dude. ARGH I'M SICK OF THIS LEARN TO LOVE YOUR FELLOW MAN.

And what if it does? You are being so very immature. If people don't like that you stood up for someone who might be a homosexual, they're obviously not your friends. It doesn't matter! You'll definitely be able to find some other friends. And you'll feel more comfortable with those friends who'll like you not because you belittle children, but for the good (if there are any) qualities of yourself.

Okay, now lemme give you the REAL definition of an introvert:
Marked by interest in or preoccupation with oneself or one's own thoughts as opposed to others or the environment; shy or reserved.

If you think that is BAD, you have a few things you'll need to work out that we can't help you with.

All you did to avoid getting in trouble. Mm-hmm. Okay then, that makes me content. I'll just walk away now.

Do you realize how stupid you sound right now?

Really, come on. Even though you might not have done as much as your "friends", you still hurt this poor little guy. If you went up to him and apologize AND BE GENUINE ABOUT IT, you'll make him SO relieved that there is someone who is learning from his mistakes.

@Toad: At this school, girls want a man who is strong, handsome, and can protect the girl from any harm. If I'm a bully, it makes my chances higher.

Don't you get it, people? You can't change me. Flaming me won't work. Maybe it'll make you feel better for trying, but it won't change me.

I can assure you that if you're a bully, it won't make your chances any higher. Girls don't want a guy that is an insensitive lout, or a guy that goes around throwing crap at other people just because he or she is a little bit different. Girls want a guy who is.. ok, you were partly right. I'll give you that.. but girls don't want a guy who'll go around bullying other people around. Just because you're a bully doesn't mean you'll get your way with the ladies.

As for flaming you, yeah, I'm going to keep doing it until this topic is over, as I've been the kid everybody picks on and feel I must prevent it from happening to other kids.

Oh my poor depressing topic. Being thrown away to an in-the-dark little kid. Take that black bar off your face and open your eyes to the truth: bullying anyone who is doing nothing but minding their own business is a very bad thing. And so you're telling me that every single student at your school does the same, and if they don't you and your stuck-up friends go around doing the same thing to them? And every girl wants a heartless insensitive bully to be theirs?

1. That guy has no friends.
2. He's gay.
3. He likes to sing the opera.
4. He likes to dance Ballet.
5. The only time he's ever danced with a "girl" was when some 6th grader pity danced with him.

Why wouldn't I beat him up?

... ...

This might be the single worst post made so far this year. I might be willing to say that this is the worst post ever in General Chat, but there's posts people have been banned for, so I don't know if that's accurate.

Girls want a guy who is confident. Granted, a lot of girls your age are stupid and can't distinguish confidence from being a total jerk, but I assure you that feigning confidence by throwing things at people who sing opera (OH NO OPERA WE CAN'T ALLOW THAT CAN WE) won't get you anywhere with any girls who are worth associating with.

Oh, by the way, I've never danced with a girl with any seriousness either. I am 20. I take it this means that I deserve to be shot*? Granted, I've done "other" things with girls, but never actually danced with one. I also sing opera every so often and wouldn't mind going to see a ballet once or twice in my life. I guess this makes me gay, then. Right.

*(If a 13 year old deserves to have things thrown at him for not dancing with girls... and, say, interest in girls starts at age 11, than I deserve a fate 4.5x worse (for going 9 years of interest in girls without a dance opposed to 2) than having bricks thrown at me, which I think a shooting fits perfectly.)

Wow. I'm absolutely stunned. I mean, I guess this (http://paulgraham.com/nerds.html) is the best explanation of this phenomenon I've found, but... ya. People DESERVE to be assaulted for being different? Who the [explitive deleted] are you to decide who DESERVES to be assualted?

Post by: PaperLuigi on March 21, 2007, 11:03:47 PM
CTOAN, have you ever thought about HELPING the guy. I say that with a period at the end 'cause I'm being absolutely serious here. Beating up a person may ruin them for life, and I'm gonna lay down something that might scare you but, omigosh, you don't freakin' rule the universe. Like I.S said, who are you to choose who get's beat up or not? What are you, some kind of freak/bully? No one likes a person like that, unless they are the same.

I feel like all of us are talking to a very, very thick wall here. I in no way support the way gays run their lives, but that doesn't mean they aren't people, for God sakes! Only a street thug does that; I mean, I guess if you want to be a street thug, that's fine, but you will end up a very lonely man.

Dang. I leave for a day and CTOAN is at it again.

And let me assure you, if you BULLY people, it will only make the chicas think lower of you. If they think higher of you when you bully someone then they're stupid. Flat out stupid. And if they think you're gay for one thing, they're stupid girls, too. I mean, what type of girl in her right mind would like a guy who picks on people and beats them up for no reason?

BTW, take everyone's advice here and stop bashing the guy and help him, for God's sake.

Plus if you care about what everyone thinks of you, you'll NEVER get anywhere in life. You'll always, deep down inside, no matter how happy you make everyone because of something you're not and because of trying to impress everyone, you'll feel very dark.

No one will like you for the real you. They'll like you for who they think you are and you'll be a people-pleaser.

And I really hate your d*** attitude.

Pt_Peach, I really like what you said about the girls who love jerks. There must be over a hundred girls at my school who follow this rule, that if you're a jerk, you're more attractive. I honestly think this rule is 100 % horse manure; I always thought TRUE love was found by being nice. That's right, I said true love, not something stupid and short like a boy or girlfriend, which basis for the relationship itself is based totally on looks. Love that is based on being a bully only often in in tragedy, mainly due to hate. Being nice means you'll be nice towards your mate. So CTOAN, shape up if you want to find true love. There are girls out there who like nice people, despite what you may think.

We KNOW we can't change you. You can't change people. People have to change themselves. We're not trying to change you, all we're doing is trying to help, and trying to give you a heads up that if YOU change YOURSELF NOW, it'll be more beneficial in the long run.

It's okay to disagree with the gay lifestyle. It's NOT okay to hurt them just for being gay. There are REAL people (I say real because you haven't even touched the surface of what you can do to a human being) out there that cut a person's arm off just for being a Jew, begger or whatever. If you really think you are so tough, so above everything else, join them. That's right, I said join them. I think you'll find that you belong there. After all, you share the same feelings. You'll be accepted as a person that hurts without remorse, despite the lives you'll be destroying. But if you ask me, I think you're a spinless coward. Pick on a person that's twice your size and see what kind of reaction you get; hey, if you win, everyone will worship you!

Exactly. Just because someone is gay is no justification for treating them like anything other than another human being. CTOAN's acting like gay-bashing is some sort of perfectly nice way of life, like a job or something. Imagine if "gay" people were considered "normal", and "straight" people were persecuted? I'd bet CTOAN would be insulting straight people, then, because that'd be the popular opinion of jerks everywhere.

I am NOT (note the word "not") beating him up due to his homosexuality. I'm beating him up partially due to peer pressure and also because his annoyance really really ****es me off. In fact, "beat up" isn't even the right term for what I do to him. It's my friends that do all of the beating. All I've ever done to him was mess with his locker lock and hid one of his folders in the bathroom (other than throw foam footballs at him while he was roller skating).

Also...
Well, have a nice life of beating up people and ending up a lonely person then.

And PaperLuigi, help me out here: Doesn't the bible say to be good to your fellow man? CTOAN is obviously more a sinner than the Gays are.


*ahem* Well, it does say that being gay is no different then any other sin in the world; that everyone has their sin (for me, it's lust) and sin is destruction. What you have to understand is that no one is perfect; a gay is gay, a greedy man is greedy, and a terrorist is a terrorist. It's the kindness we show to these people (in the Bible, Jesus showed kindness to a woman who had an affair, and told everyone assembled that they are no better, for they all had faults) that help them in life. CTOAN obviously did not want to show kindness to gays. We are at fault too. If we can't change a person, then we're supposed to move on. So yes, we are to show kindness to our fellow man, but this does not mean we are perfect angels, as CTOAN demonstrated.

By the way, I REALLY don't want a religious war. SS asked me a question, and I gave it to him. I now know to respect one's beliefs, as I understand that being rude to someone else over their beliefs is a sin.

Bird Person, the Flash preloader on YTMND is made so people don't have to refresh the page to sync it properly. Also... I'm sure you can get the correct MP3 on there somehow, dunno how a wrong bitrate would make it play at 2x speed, but man that concept was awesome.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Eclipsed Moon on March 22, 2007, 11:34:18 PM
Yeah, it makes no sense for bitrate to affect that in any way.  I can't imagine what would, except possibly resampling?  I guess that would come in on the Flash part?  Don't know much about how it's set up anymore.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: BP on March 22, 2007, 11:53:47 PM
I know that's why they have the preloader. The MP3 with the correct bitrate (it has to be 11khz, 22khz, or 44khz and the only one I can get is 44) just won't upload. I keep getting "There was a problem." Think perhaps it's the audio converter that's screwing it up?

I have angst because of that new Jeff Foxworthy show on FOX, "Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?". It's so pointless. I mean, What kind of able-minded ADULT can't answer simple questions, like which hemisphere North America is located in. Those questions are so mind-numbingly easy that this show is quite possibly the EASIEST way to win (and I'm using the word "win" loosely) a million dollars. I happened to catch a glimpse of last night's episode, and it showed this woman getting the question, "True or false: North America in the Northern Hemisphere," and she said that it was in the EASTERN hemisphere, which was completely irrelevant to the question! She managed to get a TRUE OR FALSE question wrong. Also, when people lose, they make them say into the camera, "I'm dumber than a 5th Grader," or something of the like. The only reason I wouldn't get on that show when I'm old enough is that it won't be around by then, and would probably be replaced with another pointless FOX reality show. No one can be that stupid; that show MUST be staged...

I thought it was a cool show; the questions seem easier to US because we are closer to our years as grade school students than fully grown adults are. It shows how much you can forget (or maybe just how terrible schools were in our parents' time). I personally never remember anyone teaching me how many teaspoons are in a tablespoon, 'cause I came from a crappy school. So I could lose there.

I have ANGST, courtesy of GamePro magazine. I've been meaning to write this rant for a while, but I'm lazy, so I'm just now telling you this. You see, GamePro is a magazine for people who know little about video games, but written as if it were a magazine for hardcore gamers (ugh, I thought I'd never use the phrase "hardcore gamer" in my life). Apparently, to look more legit, they, for some stupid reason, criticize classic games and act as if it's everyone's view. I don't have an issue with me now, but I remember reading, in a review for Soul Calibur III, "pretty much everyone can agree that Soul Calibur 2 was a huge disappointment"; funny, 'cause they gave it a perfect 5.0. Also, in the same issue they said something like "every self-respecting Mario fan hates MK:DD because of its utter lack of fun". In five or ten years, they'll have another one of their stupid game lists, and I predict they'll say something like "All true RE fans know Resident Evil 4 was infamously mediocre in every way, and simply did not live up to the standard of Resident Evil 3, which is unanimously considered the best game ever made."

I don't really enjoy gaming magazines at all.

My brother DID have a subscription for Nintendo Power at one point when he was a big Nintendo person like I was, from the Diddy Kong Racing issue to the Donkey Kong 64 issue. Maybe about a year or two's worth of issues before my brother was like "Meh I don't like Nintendo much anymore" and let his subscription expire. I read the issues from time to time because I enjoyed the pictures and information they gave about games that apparently couldn't be found anywhere else.

I have ANGST because I was just listening to my official Paper Mario 64 soundtrack, and realised that they missed a track when recording it: fighting the Monty Moles in Flower Fields (when you head west from the main area, and reach that one flower's area before fixing the cloud machine).

I can't believe Nintendo didn't put that awesome track on their official soundtrack. I wonder if I can download it from somewhere.. No, I am not asking where to download it..

The wind was blowing HARD today! Man, California weather doesn't get crazier than this. We've had (not my city personally, but my part of California) hail and snow blow out across deserts. Dust storms. Roofs torn off houses. My city got this huge shower of rain and then it cleared up in a snap! Crazy! I love California weather.

Where is the angst you ask? I was FREEZING my butt off today! It was cold! 52 this morning and then it dropped a bit after I left the house!

I have ANGST because no one on this page used a temperature scale.  I usually think in Celsius so Pt_Peach's 52 seems really hot to me.  Though she could have ment 52 Kelvin which would be really cold. 
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: CoconutMikeNIke on March 28, 2007, 10:21:26 PM
I don't get the use of Kelvin.  It scales the same as Celsius, it's just 273 higher.  At least with Fahrenheit it's actually different.  Well, at least I don't have to remember some complicated formula to get it from Celsius...

Post by: Vidgmchtr on March 28, 2007, 10:31:27 PM
Luigison: With the exception of Kelvin, I'd be correct either way, because 50 degrees isn't cold in Fahrenheit OR Celsius. :P

The point of Kelvin is that it makes absolute zero (the lowest possible temperature) actually be 0 degrees, which is neccessary to make the mathematics of the physics work a lot of times. Fahrenheit and Celsius are based off of much less important physical properties (human body temp, freezing/boiling water at Earth atmosphere) but ones that are more apparent in everyday life.

I hate it when people call something "subversive" or "clever" or "satire" to deflect criticism. For example:

Person #1: I really disliked the racist message of that movie.
Person #2: It's not racist, it's a cleverly subversive satire of the underlying opinions and views of modern American culture.
Person #1: ...Wha?

Big words confuse me.

Yeah, when I first saw that I considered it pretty offensive, but that's because I didn't actually "get it" at first. It's fairly funny, for a Mel Brooks movie.

I hate my inability to be even remotely careful in what I do.  I also hate that I can't get into my hotmail account.

When I did the PSAT last year, it asked for an email address that could be used for college stuff.  I was told it should be a more professional one.  Alright, first initial, last name.  I didn't have an account with that address, but it only takes a few moments to make one, so I put it down.  I don't remember making it, but when I try to make one now with that name, MSN says it's taken.  Not a big deal, right?  Just put it in, say I forgot my password, good as new.  No, that would be easy.  When I try to get my password, the choices are to answer the secret question or have the password sent to me.  I figure I'll just have it sent to me, since I figure they'll use my other email address.  Nope.  They send the password in an email to the account you can't remember the password for.  Let's say that again.  They send the UNKNOWN password to the account that you CAN'T GET INTO because you don't have the password...My brain is melting at this point.

So I try again, instead intending to answer the question.  Now, I'm an idiot.  I'm amazed I can walk and blink at the same time.  It's not so much I can't remember the answer (Which I can't), but rather that for some reason I either lied about where I lived, or decided that it would be fun to have the question in a language I can't read.  The question is written in Portuguesse.  I know nothing about that language, and I only know that it is Portuguesse because I went through every Romance Language, hoping that the translation would be complete.  Finally, I get the one word that was giving me trouble, and I now know the whole question.  The question I can't think of the answer to.  I'm trying desperately to rememeber what I liked at the time of creating the account, but I don't even rememeber making this account, so I'm really stuck.

So, the choices remain, email the password into the account I can't access, guess my favorite fictional character for days, or make another account, which no colleges will have, since they've all been sending emails to the one I can't get into.

Also, do the accounts automatically get closed if there is no activity for a certain amount of time?

And I doubt I'm trying to hack a Brazilians email, since Touron isn't a common name, let alone in Portuguese speaking countries.  But I could be wrong.  I'll know for sure if I ever get in and all the emails are in a different language.

Oh, that...man, I was so annoyed when that happened. I mean, I'm not really a huge fan of ATHF, but I thought, hey, it might be worth seeing since it's free. However, I remembered it was April 1st and that they always pull some weird stunt, and so I didn't get my hopes up. Although I did find the gigantic popups annoying in a funny way.

I hope it clears up by tomorrow.

Yeah, it was cool down here in Texas. At about 50, it wasn't cold, but it sure was better than what we normally get at this time, which is around 80 or so.

I think he's either just under the misguided impression that humor on teh Interwebz is all random nonsensical silliness, or he's ripping off adult swim.

That has got to be the one of the most pitiful things I've ever seen! I can't believe you would actually try to do something like that to worm out of admitting that you were wrong. I really, really hope that when you are banned again, you stay gone and never darken our doorstep again.

You are a dirt! You are lower than dirt! You are so low that I don't even know what to clasify you as!! You go around picking on people, throwing things at them, and then you come here and brag about it and call people gay, get yourself banned, and comeback and act the same, posting in the exact same thread that caused yourself to be banned!!

If this really isn't CTOAN, you need to pick better friends, because the real CTAON is going to get himself shot in some school shooting because he picks on people and throws things at them. I hope he is short for the rest of his short life.

My guess is he's being a wimp about getting banned off the site, and he really, REALLY wants to come back. My response to that is, if he wanted to stay, he shouldn't have said all that crap.

And he shouldn't have shown me the picture of his manhood too. It really grossed me out, and that, to me, proves he's a huge pervert.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Glorb on April 09, 2007, 10:55:17 AM
Eeew...what?

Yeah, personally, I think that he can't get over it. It's sad...before the whole rabidly anti-gay thing, he was actually pretty nice. However, I'm actually certain he wasn't banned because of his views; I think he was banned because he expected everyone to share those views, and tried to shove said views down everyone's throat.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: PaperLuigi on April 09, 2007, 11:02:07 AM
Before you guys showed up, he had a picture of a......well, you know, as his avatar.

And then he tried to hide it under an avatar that said "this is mah avatar." He acted all innocent about it too.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Pt_Peach on April 09, 2007, 11:05:53 AM
That is disgusting. I never actually looked at his profile so I never looked at his avatar but that...that's not good. Actually it's wrong. And why would he show you a picture??? I agree with you Glorb. He was a nice guy before that. But he shoved his views down everyone elses throats and he was a punk, for all I'm concerned.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Glorb on April 09, 2007, 11:08:57 AM
Exactly. Also, I have a hard time believing that CTOAN, as part of some elaborate revenge plot in his secret underground lair in Stupidland, New Jersey, hired someone to get a name practically identical to him and wreak havoc on the boards saying that it's him.

This recent influx of jerks presents a sort of dilemma: Do we turn the FF into a sort of police state, banning jerks at the first sign of jerkitude, or risk letting assorted jerks run free on the forums, doing as they please?
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Area 64 on April 09, 2007, 11:50:40 AM
Whoa, sorry I missed the discussion.

I agree, he is an annoyance, but maybe he's doing this for a reason. I am very familiar with the "troll" mentality. Maybe we have some reason in why he's coming back.

Maybe he feels he was betrayed by his former friends, and as retribution, decides to "haunt" our boards. A common way trolls are created is from betrayal. He voiced his opinions and we elevated it into a big flurry of arguments, when he probably wanted to keep it small.

Also, I know that you don't have to have hacking prowess to come back to a board after you've been banned. There's a chance that CTOAN might not even know what proxy is, and is just making multiple email accounts on his ISP.

Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: SolidShroom on April 09, 2007, 02:34:44 PM
Huh?
I don't recall any of us saying we hated CTOAN. I remember trying to change him in fact. Still, he brought physical harm to a homosexual person.

On second thought, the right to hate gays is on the first amendment, along with the right to hate those who hate gays. But why hate those who hate gays; it makes you no better than them. I guess we kinda treated CTOAN wrongly, we attacked him for his beliefs, no matter how wrong they were, which is pretty much what he and his schoolmates do to that one "introvert."

Additionally, I'm a little angsty that I have to help clean out the shed today with my grandfather. He tends to get in the way, and this shed is pretty big. Hopefully we can do it tomorrow instead; I'll  get paid, but SPM won't arrive around here until tomorrow.

He was never not annoying, what with his constant... annoyingness. Some aura of bother just emanated from his posts... This incident was the straw that broke the camel's back, and the donkey's back, and the horse's, and the rhinoceros's, and the wild boar's, and the giraffe's, etc. etc. etc. Like, isn't it ironic? He came in to complain about how he was attacked, but it turns out the reason he was attacked was because he wanted to attack somebody else without reason but his friends wouldn't. That sums it up, yes...
I don't want to go back to school tomorrow, sob.

I'm with Lizard Dude on this one, but there are a lot of things to consider.  Cities are warming faster than rural areas.  This increase in surface temperature in the cities is probably not from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere since the air tends to be a fluid and not stay over most cities like a green house roof.  The unequal heating of the city may be due to the surface being paved/concreted over and the fact that there are a lot of waste heat producing machines in the city.  If you look at the surface temperatures versus carbon dioxide in the atmosphere you might find that the increase in surface temperature actually precedes the build up of carbon dioxide.  Heh, we need to build roads to drive our cars on and parking lots to park them in before when can have the cars there to produce more carbon dioxide.  Atmospheric temperature is a better gauge to measure global warming by.  It is increasing too, but by a smaller rate.  Also, air pollution is bad, but not all air pollution leads to global warming like carbon dioxide does.  Some air pollutants actually hinder the warming of the air by blocking some of the light/IR radiation.  Cars, industry, and slash and burning the rain forests aren't the only culprits in global warming either.  Cow farts may be one of the biggest pollutants.  Eating steak and drinking cow's milk may be just as bad for the environment as driving a car.  I don't know.  This is just a rambling rant of what I thought of off the top of my head.

Luigison presents some good points. And those cow farts really are messing up the enviroment. It's a lose-lose situation, 'cause they'll fart if we do nothing, and if we eat 'em, we fart cow.

The cow statement... you gotta believe that cows are polluting. In this town, which is as aggy as they come, the sky is only truly blue after a good rainy day. The rest of the time it looks like the sky over Kokiri Forest but without the little light balls everywhere.

I think ATHF is an um, acquired taste, to put it lightly. Basically the entire show is a series of non-sequiters and random goofiness, although I find it funny. Family Guy, I don't, though, because it seems like they just took an episode of The Simpsons, swapped out the characters, added some "adult" humor, then shoehorned in some weird clips. Also, ATHF has a way better theme song.

Here's a few more: It's GAME OVER, because man is the MOST DANGEROUS GAME, and you cannot PAUSE the progress of time, etc. And third, you're basically supporting Jack Tomphson's crazy madness theories.

Simply playing video games does nothing to your psyche. You could lock me in a room and have me play GTA, Doom and Bully for a day, and I would walk out, sanity intact, at the end. Unless, of course, I couldn't use the bathroom or anything. If you already have psychological problems, then playing GTA might conceivably push you over the edge, should you interpret the game as telling you to kill people. Look at Columbine: The two shooters didn't say Doom gave them the inspiration; they mentioned Doom once. The rest was insane Nazi-esque rantings and other weirdness. The Virginia Tech shooter already had a history of mental problems, and said in various notes that he was doing it against "rich kids" and "decietful charlatans". He never even freaking mentioned video games. So I wish Jack Tomphson would quit capitalizing on tragedies such as this to further his career. I mean, I think he's already been banned from lawyering in several states; I'm surprised he has any credibility left.

People kill people. Not video games. There are several other factors that attribute to a shooting. When a person is so crazy/out of his mind that he can't distinguish fake from reality, then he's the danger to society, not the game.

Why did this person go on a shooting spree anyway? Was he crazy, or was he........stupid?

So far the only explanation he had for the shooting was a note he left in his dorm that said "You made me do this". Exactly who "You" is, why they're responsible for the boy finally snapping, or what motive he had behind it is still under investigation.

At the very least, the news is focusing on a real tragedy and not the DNA evidence of Anna Nicole Smith's daughter.

On a much less heavy note. I had a 10 problem long Diff Eq. assignment to do today.

It took 12 pages, front and back. And about 7 hours.

Here's a picture illustrating how I feel about Euler's method (and tangent line approximations) after this was over: (Note, what I have done there is about 3/8 of one problem)

I have angst because every single game magazine, no matter how well-written, seems to use the caption "Cue Dukes of Hazzard theme song" in every issue. Seriously, I've seen it used in both previews and reviews for both Full Auto games, both Mercenaries games, and both FlatOut games, to mention just a few. It's spectacularly annoying. Just because it's a picture of a flying car doesn't mean you have to make a Dukes of Hazzard reference.

I dropped all unrequired math classes after my Sophomore year, because by the time I finished that year, I had fulfilled the amount of math credits needed to graduate (3).

I sort of regret doing that, as even though I find most math to be easy, it's very tedious, and I enjoy taking my time on problems. This was a problem when taking the SAT in May 2006, and the ACT in October 2006, and again in April 2007, as my knowledge of math slowly disappeared, and I only remembered basic things about high school math.

I THOUGHT that that would be the end of math for me when I made the decision, I had no idea that it was to be taken in college as well regardless of what major you chose. So, I feel like I'll be very unprepared the day I walk into a math class again next year.

1. I haven't had the ability to access the internet normally for days now. I couldn't use it at school because I had a bad grade halfway through the quarter, and when I had a chance to access it at home any day last week, I left for play practice (the performance of Canterbury Tales, by the way, was a success; I ended up doing lights for it, which was more than I was originally planning to do) or church. I had no internet access on Saturday because I stayed over at a friend's house on Friday (I'm posting this from his house because I'm staying over tonight and tomorrow due to standardized testing + student council providing homemade breakfast, which was AWESOME last year), and didn't get back home until really late because of the band contest (we placed second), us going into town so I could get my DS, and the actual performance (as I said, it was pretty good), and when I got home after the cast party, I found out that one of the screws holding the satellite for our internet to the roof had been pulled loose by the strong winds, and we had no internet access because of it. We had it back on Sunday for about an hour, when I was able to use it to find info for fusing planet Meteo.

2. I bought a DS Lite (new, Onyx). Well, I'm a little concerned about the Meteos card I bought (used, which explains a lot); if I could get a picture of it, it would be easy to show what's wrong with it. I'll try to get a picture of it next time I have access to a camera, and post it on here.

Ah, no excuses for him! He came again. He didn't stay. No hugs. No personal "I missed you". It feels like he's sort of alienating himself from us. I don't feel as if I know him.

But of course on the second visit, I didn't exactly give him a warm welcome. I didn't speak to him, and he didn't speak to me.

I recently got the Spider-Man 2.1 DVD, and they really should've just called it Spider-Man 2: Spider-Man 3 Edition. It's identical, down to the menu design, to the original Spider-Man 2 DVD, but with some extra scenes that just make the movie longer and more boring and, thus, should've stayed cut, and a ton of special features are replaced (not supplemented with, REPLACED) by previews, trivia, featurettes or what have you for Spider-Man 3. Lame.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: WarpRattler on April 26, 2007, 04:25:41 PM
Now I'm angsty about the fact that I can't photograph my Meteos card. Anyway, most of you know that cards for the DS have a code on the bottom; for example, SM64DS is NTR-ASME-USA. Well, my copy of Meteos has an odd code: DIS-NTR-AMTE-USA. Not only that, but there is a visible bar on the label that's been gone over with Sharpie; I can easily see that it says "NOT FOR RESALE".

This hasn't affected me playing the game itself (I just fused Meteo about an hour ago, which requires 8 endings viewed and a ridiculous amount of Meteos, so it's definitely the full version of the game), but it's just another reason to hate GameStop.

Post by: CoconutMikeNIke on April 27, 2007, 01:55:57 PM
How much of a difference do Display versions have when compared to Retail versions?  I would think the display version would only allow a little trial of the game, since it's only going to be used as a sample in the store.  Or am I thinking of something else?
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Chupperson Weird on April 27, 2007, 03:06:43 PM
Display copies are generally the full game, but they just say NOT FOR RESALE on them. Glorb, your Sonic the Hedgehog is probably just a copy that came bundled with a Genesis. Many many copies came with Genesises and say NOT FOR RESALE on them. However, it could be an actual store display too, I guess.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: MEGAߥTE on April 27, 2007, 03:13:31 PM
Display games can be either full copies or preview versions... most GBA games (and back to the SNES) are full copies, while most DS games are demo versions.  Meteos is an exception in that it is a full copy.  I collect display copies myself, but it is disingenuous for GameStop to sell their display games, particularly when they black out the "not for resale."  NBA Jam Tournament Edition is not a special version, it was an enhanced version that was sold normally (like Street Fighter 2 vs. Street Fighter 2 Turbo).
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!

Yes, but mine said "Tournament Copy, Not For Resale". However, when you put it in, it just has the regular NBA Jam game with no differences, save for the title screen. I don't know, it's in rather poor condition; it might be a counterfeit, for all I know.

Also, what's with all this anti-GameStop stuff lately? It's not like they're some evil corporation run by evil scientists who stroke evil cats and wear evil monocles.

THIS IS THE LAST STRAW!!!

I've been quiet about a certain annoying kid(refered to as The Annoyance) in my class for a long time, but yesterday he went too far!

I'm getting stuff out of my locker when The Annoyance and some of his friends come by. Then The Annoyance does the unthinkable.

HE PUTS HIS BUTT ON ME!

I mean, his freakin' BUTT!

EWWWWWW!!!


I told the teacher, but he just won't quit bugging me. I think something's screwy in his mind that doesn't allow him to realize when he is NOT WANTED.

The class following the butt incident, we get a new seating chart. The Annoyance is seated BEHIND ME(T_T) and beside a girl whom I will refer to as G-chick. Great. Now I have to deal with The Annoyance's snide comments and pencil-swiping ways for the rest of the year. And so does G-chick. Sucks for both of us. X(

But I haven't been violent about this. On the contrary, I gave The Annoyance a gift today. It was a bird, oven-roasted... and flipped. XD

I don't really think that violence is the right answer: if you use violence, he'll just tell the teacher, getting GG in to trouble. Perhaps he'll get even worse, and then GG and the annoyance (I just felt like doing that) will be in trouble.

I suggest you bring this matter to the principal or even his parents.

GG, perhaps the next time he sticks his butt in your face, try using a clever comeback/burn, like "Ah, still using Diapers, I see." or point to it and yell, "Ew, is that a brown spot I see!?" and perhaps throw mud on it to make it look authentic.

I love that these same people are coordinated enough to talk on thier phones and drive, and somehow be able to keep an elbow on the wheel and flip off another driver because I happen to have the right-of-way and they weren't paying attention because they were on their cell phones.

I wish more people would learn to drive and talk at the same time. It would make the world far more exciting and dangerous. I can't wait unitl tomorrow, when I get to go out and brave driving across town again, just so more stupid people on cell phones can give me rude hand gestures when I have the right-of-way. [/ANGST]

Cell phones are useful and necessary and all, but yeah, people who pay more attention to telling their friend how luscious and cute their new real wild boar-skin slippers are than what color the stoplight is... "HELLO, CAN YOU PLEASE DRIVE, I WANT TO GO HOME NOW."
I'm pretty sure that soon, hold-in-your-hand phones while driving are going to be illegal, but the Bluetooth ear things will be fine. My mom got one of those just before getting a new phone, with which it won't work... so now I have one! Thing is, nobody calls me...

Actually, talking on the phone while driving is illegal in many states already.  Also, studies have shown that it's the split attention that causes problems, not simply the aspect of holding the phone to your head.

Yeah, I probably meant to add "In California." We have the stupidest laws. No passengers in your car until age 18? What? That just puts more cars in the streets, which means
-More potential accidents, which is what those government people were trying to prevent. USETH THY HEADS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-More gas wasted (Which is fine because we totally have more than enough gasoline and fossil fuels left to last eternities)
-More air pollution (But that's okay, the ozone layer can take it)
-Slower traffic

Automobiles aren't generally going to be generating CFCs, which is what depletes the ozone layer.

I'm pretty PO'd because I recently looked up some driving rules, behing as how I'll be driving in a year or two, and look what I found:

No exceeding the speed limit
No ramming other drivers off the road
Must use stupid blinky lights
No drifting at high speeds around corners
No spoilers larger than six feet high
No attached weaponry (i.e., rocket launchers)

Also, what's this about "car insurance"? Sounds like a scam. I mean, your car respawns after you crash, so what's there to worry about?

For the record, I can have one passenger in my car, and if I want more than one passenger in my car that isn't a family member, I only have to wait for 9 months after I get my license (which should be sometime before the end of this year, depending on how quickly I can get driving hours in; they increased the number of required hours to 150, so it might take a while).

Now, for the real reason I'm posting: I no longer have a girlfriend. Fortunately we're still friends, and there's a chance of us getting back together (she said that herself), or else I'd be taking this much harder...

I almost never find it funny unless the typo makes the sentence actually look funny.

And I get ANGST! whenever Chup decides to stop everything because someone spelled something incorrectly or didn't use correct punctuation or grammar, and goes off on how he either doesn't understand the sentence due to a fault in the grammar structure or spelling of the word (but he does 'cause he's pointing it out), or belittles them as if they HAD to know it to save their own lives. They only made a simple mistake. If I can understand what I'm reading and not get distracted by a mistake or two in a sentence I can shrug it off and go on in my life.

Next week, I have to take the STAR testing (or CAT/6, whatever you wanna call it). I am NOT happy about this. The test is three days long. I'll still have schoolwork to do during that week, which will put more stress on me (not to mention take up my day until 12 o' clock, and then lunch takes up more time. That leaves a little time during the day. Then we're still moving during that week. And on that Wednesday I have a program to attend from 2:30 to 5:30, more time taken, aside from lunch and chores. GOD, I'm in for it!

I always found STAR testing easy. Except for the first day, where I have to get reaquinted with the test again.

In actual angst, I'm really disappointed that Taker's title reign may be cut short because of his injury. I was looking forward to seeing his long title reign, then possibly losing it next year to a likeable up and comer. If he is forced to vacate the title like Batista did last year, I hope they pull a Kurt Angle and place the belt on Benoit again via Battle Royal. That guy deserves another World title reign.

It's not that I'm not sophisticated enough to properly enjoy gaining +5 charisma, it's just that they all feel like a bunch of stats-based nonsense. It's annoying when you see your sword hit the enemy, but the game says you missed, so KH is definately my kind of RPG (save for the girliness and psuedo-metaphorical weirdness).

The standardized tests here are called the New York State Regents Exams, taken in 4th grade, 8th grade, and throughout high school. I am not quite sure if "NYSRE" is what it's better known as, though.

In 4th grade, tests on English and Math are taken in January and June, respectively. Parents have spoken against these, as children who don't pass them have a good chance of being held back a year. This actually happened to a friend of mine who is 2 months older than me but is only a junior in high school.

In 8th grade, tests on the same subjects are taken, but at a higher level, of course. I've not heard of any parents having problems with these, though.

In high school (pretty much every grade except 12th, as most seniors have either hardly any classes or AP classes which have AP exams instead), there are tests in Math, Science, English, LOTE (Languages Other Than English) and Global/National History, depending on what courses you're taking and at what level.
The only exam freshmen have to take is a proficiency exam in whatever language they chose.
Sophomores and juniors get the most exams.

All of these I bought with my own money, but they've been stolen in order to motivate me to fill out scholarships and do a number of things that I wish I had never got myself into, like working up for a large piano recital.

Mr. Miyamoto did say something along the lines that the Wii controls would be perfect for aiming a flashlight and.. something else (I forget..), which to me said that they were going to work on a game similar to LM.

Yeah, Mario & Luigi is pretty recent, and, erm (he's ON the BOX, I think that makes him unspoilable), Super Paper Mario is really recent. I highly doubt a Mansion sequel... it was pretty good but I wouldn't have paid $50 for it (I actually got it used).

If they make a Luigi's Mansion sequel, it HAS to be set in some city, like Resident Evil 2 (since both the first LM and RE were set in a mansion), and have zombies that sing and dance. If not, I'm firing Nintendo.

That sounds like a pretty good idea. It sorta goes hand-in-hand with my ideas for Mario games that spoof other well-known game series, and actually categorizes LM into the survival horror genre, which I believe is one of the only genres Mario hasn't fully dipped into yet.

Because Luigi's Mansion and Resident Evil are both the same exact game made by the same company, Capcom.

The similarities are all mere coincidence. I don't think there'll be another Luigi's Mansion. And if there is, I'm sure Nintendo would have more interesting ideas for it.

And yes, the Boost Guardian is hard, but the annoying thing is that you have to save long before you ever reach it, so you have to trek over to get the Cobalt Translator Module and then trek over to the Guardian.

There is a save before you find and kill the Boost Guardian, and I have beaten it now. The Ing Hive Boss was pretty hard. Just note I did everything without the Dark Suit, making things a [edit] lot harder.

Fighting Amboris with the Light suit is dead easy, and the stuff that happens when you recover the energy is funny...

I saw a random flash of fire in Queens Park (a local park in my area). I was like "Eh?"

About the complaining, I hate that for now on, in NZ, you have to be 18 to buy fireworks. It was formerly 14, and you can't buy Sparklers individually. It's all because of everyone making sparkler bombs and launching fireworks at each other. [edit]

Moderating is important, though (must not forget it).

I really dislike Moderators since I went on GameFAQs Message Boards. You have a Stupid Karma System that you earn once per day.

For just sarcastically saying the USA in vain, some member took this seriously and reported to the Moderators and the Administrators.

They took it off and put me on -6 Karma, only able to send 1 message a day. The system is really pathetic.

I hope the FF doesn't do this...

The system works with "board levels". You can go up to a rank that has no restrictions, but something like -33 would make the moderators put your level on -4.

That level means in 24 hours, your username will be deleted off the server.

Go look up GameFAQs, Help, Board Info, and see it for yourself, Luigison. The thing is so freaking strict!

Okay, I'll admit, I'm not saying which forum it is because I forget (and also the hurt-feelings thing). I remember stumbling across it and scanning over a few threads. What's amusing is that swear-laden flames are okay (or at least ignored), but disagreeing with a mod gets you banned.

I think a big part of any misunderstanding between mods/staff here and the member base is explained by one of the more recent threads here - the How old are you? thread.

With one exception, all of the mods+ on this site are 20 years old or older. Of the non-mod+ members, I'd estimate the average age to be around 16 or so. 16 year olds will act a lot differently than adults on post board forums. 14 year olds, even more so (I seriously thought I was "mature" at 14, I read back to my posts then and cringe) ... I'm not saying you aren't mature at 14, I'm just saying... when you turn 19 or 20, read your posts from back when you were 14.

I've realized that it is better to act myself when talking on the internet.

In my n00b days here, I was being a little jerk. I could have easily acted more maturely than I did. I look back and cringe because I'm not that much older than I was then. I mean, that year I was acing all subjects in school. The teachers-pet type. The goody-goody in school. My friends knew I was the quiet one and when I joined here I kinda let it all go. I was one of those kids who thought it was okay to use-incorrect-grammar-and-act-stupid-on-the-internet-and-get-away-with-it.  I can see where my how I am maturing. Once upon a time I used to post in every little thread I saw just to get people to notice me. Now I only post on what I think is important or when I'm looking a bit of fun. My posts in the Pointless Topic have dropped. I now make use of the BOLD and italics. They are very useful for getting your point across and telling exactly how you feel.

But this is just me. I feel that I've matured in miraculous ways since my joining in late 2005.

Oh yeah, I just felt like expressing my past angst.

Follow up ANGST to a couple of weeks back...

Though the concert I was in went great (see HOPEFUL), right after it, I accidently walked into a music stand cart, and it tore through my black dress shirt.

It's being taken to the tailor this weekend because I can't bring myself to get a new one.

I got it back today, and saw that all the tailor did was take a navy blue (not black, navy blue) patch and put it on the inside of the shirt, where the rip was, and sewed it shut. The patch is quite uncomfortable, too.

I don't know if I can get another dress shirt like it....

Also I got the ACT results back. This time, I got a 21. That's only one point higher than my previous score, a 20. I stuidied this time, only to get one extra point.

First, I have to finish teaching an entire Algebra chapter through the use of PowerPoint (I'm on Section 5/8, so I'm doing moderately well,) Second, I have a REALLY ANNOYING Science project where I basically pick a topic (Escherichia coli, or E. coli for those who don't understand [or can't use common sense]) and meet the criteria given to us by our teacher, or, simply, talk about it in detail. Thing is, I can't just go to Wikipedia and be done with it; I must use five sources (luckily, my Science teacher is letting us use Wikipedia as a source.) After this is over (it will be once it's May 15th, the due date for each of these), I'll still have a Social Studies World War II timeline (easy) to get done by Wednesday of the same week and an English persuasive essay about how bad the school lunches are (I don't even eat them, but I always hear everyone else's complaints (moderately easy).) So, I better get back to work, as the Algebra project is worth [I think] 30% of my grade, and the Science project is worth 120 points (a lot.) Wish me luck, all those here at Glorious Fungi Forums, and pray with me, that I will get these life-threatening projects done.

It works fine with the DS's, is in range for the connector, but it can't get a signal going, even though it does access from time to time on WiiConnect24.

Now I have to wait until tomorrow to migrate (I might choose to annoy my brother by migrating from his Ruby cartridge instead of my LeafGreen).

Well-uyp, turns out I broke my left wrist. Even though I'm a lefty, this means several things: because my writing hand still functions, I don't get any special treatment at school, and I'm stuck to playing Wii games that require just the remote. Great. Also, I have to type one-handed, which is, to say the least, annoying.

I broke the ring finger on my left hand before. A Wii would have been great at the time (I'm right-handed), even though that finger doesn't really have any role in games I had then. The middle finger on my right hand broke not all that long ago (December 2005) and it wasn't a whole lot of fun. It was okay before Christmas, I remember that... Writing wasn't easy, but still possible. To the point: No, breaking internal things isn't fun.

On the date of December 21, 2001 (noted as being one of the worst years of my life) I performed a front flip on the trampoline at our local gym and snapped my arm in two. The scar where the bone popped out is still there, and the arm itself is somewhat deformed (forearm sticks out a bit). I haven't been on a trampoline since.......the blood that came out totally scarred me for life. I expected the blood to be red, but it was purple........ugh. My sister was there and everything; I was so embarrassed.

Instead, it is frustrating me to no end. Stupid thing won't stay in any ball I throw. Timer Ball, Ultra Ball, Luxury Ball, nothing seems to be working. I've even tried putting it to sleep and paralyzing it, and it just won't stay.

Mine changed from brown to half green/hazel.  My hair changed from red to dark brown to both.  I've asked people, but I don't think anybody knows exactly why it happens, though I guess it has something to do with gene activation.  Why is this in ANGST?
My original one is like my identity, but I guess this isn't too much of a big deal.  Lately I seem to have been breaking out of a cacoon, I'm not the pudgy ugly kid people once knew.  I've lost a tremendous amount of weight since school started and my features seem to be filling out quite nicely.  On the contrary, I seem to have become reclusive, I barely talk to many people.  And all the people I talk to are guys, except for 2 girls and they both have boyfriends :(

I have ANGST because it's the last night of classes for this term, and I don't have all of my homework done. I am done with one class, and just need to edit a paper for the other class, but this game art class that I'm in, I am way behind in. I have two weeks' worth of assignments left to do tonight, and then I have to try to get them done early so that I can go to bed on time and get up before 6AM so that I can get to work on time.

We tried to hook up a scanner so that I could scan in these drawings that I had done for the class, but the scanner is not compatible with Windows Vista. I am supposed to make art for a game box, and thought it would be perfect for a Wii box, but since I can't scan it in, I'll just have to throw something together. BirdPerson, if you happen to read this in time, do you have an image of a spare Wii game box to share with me?

 If you beat the game on Proud (The Hard Mode), or collected all of the journal entries or whatever in Normal, you get an extra little scene.

Not that it's worth doing that. The game, while certainly polished, is what I consider rubbish. I didn't care for the first one, either, but the second game was much worse, in my opinion.

Hey, it's probably better than Master Chief's Bad Armor Day.


Master Chief was walking home after his steamy date with Cortana. Just then The Arbiter appeared and talked to Chief. He said, "Master Chief, we need you to help us find Glorb, who is so awesome and cool." But then The Arbiter died. And standing behind him, holding a gun that had smoke coming out of the barrel, which means it was just fired, probably at The Arbiter, who is now dead, was a large piece of poop. Master Chief swore revenge, and then said, ~Boy, that joke is getting old.~

Read a few pages back. I had the same trouble too. It helps if you use a Pokemon that has either Yawn, Hypnosis or any type of attack that puts him to sleep. Though even with that handicap, he still manages to escape the balls. Best thing to do is stock up on Ultra Balls and just hope for the best.

Oh. Well, I've never really liked Pokemon. It feels like each new game is the exact same with a bunch of new Pokemon and/or (more rarely) a new feature or two, making the old copy irrelevent. The gameplay also feels, to me, at least, extremely boring, since all you're doing is walking/biking/whatever around, talking to people and getting caught in random encounters. It never feels like the challenge is getting mixed up or anything, just getting progressively harder. But that's my view, anyway. I really just like action games more.

Whoops. I didn't see that. I was kinda gone for half a year after all. But hey. I got the blasted thing now. What I did was have Genger use Hypnosis on it. The fact that it's a ghost-type also makes Take Down do diddly squat, thus the Beldum couldn't hurt itself. It still took a few balls, but I eventually got it.

Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: PaperLuigi on May 30, 2007, 05:07:50 PM
Well.......an ingrown toenail is exactly what it says it is. It has grown incorrectly and usually collides with the inside of your skin and can lead to a serious infection if not treated. The pain can be great or mild when standing (depends on how bad the infection is). To treat it, you must ask a doctor to cut it out; he/she applies a cold substance to your toe to ease the pain of the shot going into it. It usually takes 3-4 shots to totally numb the toe, and after that, it's all up to the doc.

I had an ingrown toenail last year. They didn't need to cut it off, though. All I needed to do was soak my foot in hot water for long periods of time and take a prescription of penicillin pills to treat the infection. It went away quite painlessly.

I have had many ingrown toenails. I never let them get to the point of infection... I pull them out myself. Sure it hurts sometimes, but after a long shower or foot soak, the nail is soft and I can normally pull it out with ease.

I have ANGST because I think I have a stomach virus..

I had to leave work early on Wednesday, and have had to stay near a bathroom and eat very little for the last couple of days. I'm really not sure what to think, though, because every time I've run to the bathroom to.. be sick, nothing has come up (well, I mean I'll spit a little, but nothing to terribly gross has come out of me.. sorry if this is too much info..)

I am in no pain, and the only way that I can tell that I'm sick is I have this sort of feeling at the back of my throat. It almost feels like someones back there poking my uvula (the dangly down thing at the back of your throat).

I hope this passes pretty soon, because one can only drink so much Sprite and be happy..

I don't see the big deal about using "swears" to express your anger. Never in my life have I sworn outside of quoting-- except for once, when I accidentally messed up the euphemism, "dang." That was a few years ago.

Never from me. I use "Hell" only to refer to the place where evil people go, and even then, I don't tell people to go there. Once in a while I'll describe something from being there, for example the Satanic mockingbird from Hell (after it kept me up all night). What bothers me is when people use it to describe things all the time, especially "It's Hell-a cold in here!" and I'm like, "Hell's not a very cold place. You don't say, 'Freeze in Hell,' do you?" Of course this logic, is beyond most of the people who live here so they just say, "Shut up."

I'm not entirely sure of the use of the word "hella". It feels like my I.Q. drops a point every time I hear someone say it; it's so dumb.

Here's a funny story: a while ago, I started jokingly calling things "violent" for "good" (i.e., "Wow, those pants are violent!"), much in the same vein as "gnarly". Of course, I was joking. But you know what? At least two other kids in my school are now using it (i.e., "Wow, those pants are hella violent!"). I don't know whether that's bad or just...un-bad.

How can you hate the Everstone? I love it because I'm leveling my Meowth to level 100 without evolving it or getting rid of Pay Day, so that I can get 10000 pyen an attack (it would be 5000, but it'll be doubled because when it's level 100, I'll be able to remove the Everstone without having to worry about it evolving and I can put on an Amulet Coin). I love it even more because I can get a bunch of them from the Underground, so I can assemble awesome teams of level 100 first-form starters. Mudkips, anyone?

Anyway, ANGST. I've been playing Lost Magic for a few days now. It's an okay game (not quite as bad as a lot of reviewers have made it out to be), but some of the boss fights are set up in such a way that the time limit to defeat them is too short to get through large groups of enemies (even with a Duo Rune involving the opposite type, so that it kills them or almost kills them in one shot), get to the boss, and defeat them. I'm glad I didn't buy the game myself, or else this would be ANGST about that, and not just about the stupid boss fights.

I can't fix anything. I got a tri-wing screwdriver in the mail today so I could open GameCube controllers and stuff... I wanted to fix this WaveBird that just won't react to the power switch, and my DS Lite's unresponsive R button. On the plus sides, the Lite is still under warranty and I was able to clean all the Dr Pepper out of the controller that came with my GC so the buttons are no longer sticky... and Fifth has offered a WaveBird for which he doesn't have a receiver.
So things aren't all bad.

Then again, there isn't very much homework-- I'll probably lose 10 or 11% of my summer (for this class, I have no info about the other ones). Assignment 1 involves watching the national news for 50 days and recording headlines that piqued our interests, along with a sentence or few about them. Then we'll write a paragraph or two about two articles that we really liked or something by August 28th. Then we have some questions about the Federalist Papers, only twenty. Then we have to get a few magazine and computer articles on certain subjects and identify a bunch of political people.

I have a reasonable amount of ANSGT because our neighborhood got TP'ed (toilet-papered) in the middle of the night. Normally, I wouldn't care too much, except:

A) It's not Halloween, so what's the point? And...
B) They didn't even do a good job; most of the paper ended up on the ground.

But, much more worrying is the fact that they apparently tried to break in. You see, the back of our house has a normal door on the inside and a screen door right behind it on the outside. They poked a hole in the screen, reached in and unlocked the door. The screen door makes a loud noise when opened, so I heard it and went to investigate. When I got there, I heard people running away. Naturally, I was freaked out.

But even worse is the fact that my sister won't stop making a big deal out of it. She keeps calling our neighbors, asking if they were broken into, etc. etc., as well as asking me if I saw the people's faces, which of course I didn't.

If someone tries to open a door and either a pile of cans or a pile of cats are in the way, they'll make some noise that will likely make them freak out and leave.

Now that you mention it...I think that it was Khold who put me on the trail to obsessing with AC:WW! My cousin just helped! She sure was anxious for me to get one...Oh, I miss her!

AC kept me busy for a few months,  but I haven't touched it in a while.  Once I got the Master Sword, I was satisfied.

I hate that I spent SO much money on AC:WW! I never play it! It's horribly boring. The game has been stored up for months! I HATE THAT WRETCHED GAME! I HATE IT! And it was my cousins idea...although I'm not going to lay the blame on her because I'm the one who bought it. I could have bough Super Princess Peach! Goodness...I really shouldn't ever buy another Animal Crossing product. I haven't played on the GC version in more than half a year.
This is how I feel about Nintendogs. AC:WW was worth it because I had some fun times with friends on local multiplayer.

I actually enjoyed Nintendogs a lot more than AC:WW. I've been caring for my dogs for the past year; in AC:WW I only played, for like, an hour and got bored.

I loved AC:WW for as long as I played it. Especially the online aspect. And I agree, Nintendogs was kind of lame after about a week. Good thing it was a gift, I was pretty guiltless about turning it in for Tetris DS.

Animal Crossing, to me, is the most insipid concept to ever come from Nintendo, aside from the Metroid Prime control scheme.

The latest Weekend movie just made me want to play SMRPG even MORE!

Why did my parents have to deprive me of good video games in my early childhood?  Why couldn't they have bought a SNES or Genesis?  Both had MUCH better games than that stupid CD-i. *cries*

I'm having a hard enough time finding a ROM, and I'm not supposed to ask for one or a link to one here...  Why must I be tortured like this?

I had an SNES back when stuff for it was still easily available. Unfortunately, I wasn't into RPGs back then, or else I could probably have easily obtained a copy of Earthbound or (insert awesome SNES RPG).

Post by: Glorb on June 11, 2007, 08:32:03 AM
My first console was the SNES back when I was 1996 when I was 5, although by then it was dead. About two years later we got a PS1, followed by my sister getting an N64. In '01, after selling the PS1, SNES and N64, we got a PS2, and in '03 we got a GameCube. And in 2007, I recieved a Wii. In 2013 I got a used PS4 (it was about seven dollars), but by then the Nintendo BrainSphere was all the rage and controlling games with your hands was considered "old". I got an Xbox Infinity in 2019, but the next year the alien overlords banned video games, so there.

Well, I sold the PS1 because the PS2 is backward-compatible (I've still got a whole bunch of PS1 memory cards with my game saves), and the SNES and N64 because I needed the money. I'm probably going to sell the GameCube but keep the games now that I've got a Wii.

And more angst:

My mom said she's going to make me take anger management counseling. I keep going off at my little sister because she provokes me and annoys the dukar out of me.

I've probably said this before, but we (we being 14-17-year-olds) had it gooooooood as kids. Sure, we didn't have toy lasers or any of the wacky things on which Fisher Price uses technology nowadays, but we had better kid's shows. Is America asking to have the average IQ lowered or what? We had The Magic School Bus, Arthur and stuff like that. Too bad Bill Nye the Science Guy... I can't go on (http://billnyemyspace.ytmnd.com/). Now the kids get their brains blown up by Dora the Explorer and this other Dukar.
At any rate, my mouse is driving me up the wall. It will occasionally not respond until I tap it to the desk, and just go crazy clicking stuff, threatening to close mIRC... and then I have to unplug it and reattach it, and I usually disconnect my keyboard in the process, which resets the keyboard settings to default (the repeat speed becomes way too slow).

Every generation says that. It's all about nostalgia. I look back fondly to the shows I watched as a child, and don't care much for modern children's television. Not necessarily because the shows are worse, but because I no longer am the target demographic. I'm sure my parents thought the shows I watched were as awful as I think shows are now.

I don't look at it that way when I look back at Barney the Dinosaur.  But I look back fondly at almost all of the other shows that I watched back in the day.

My niece loves Dora the Explorer, but I can't stand that show!  One would think it would take more than just a few "Swiper, no Swipe!"s to stop a talking fox from robbing.

I like Sagwa, though.  It's a Siamese kitten in China. ^_^

I have ANGST cause no matter what I do, I can't get two of my Chao to breed! My Sonic (One of my neutral run/run type Chao, who looks like Sonic) can't seem to start breeding once I give him the heart fruit! (Makes chao able to breed once when eaten) So I have to reset my SA2:B game every time it fails, I want just a plain normal default Chao but I can't get ANY chao to be able to breed when they eat the fruit! What's wrong with these chao? I can't wait un til mating season! On another Chao related note, One of my Chao's, Rusty (An orangish brown two-tone neutral run chao with a bucket on it's head) I was bouncing around the garden, when I accidentally smacked right into Rusty, his bucket flew right off, he landed on the floor. He then got up and he started to cry and shiver fearfully, so I cuddled It and gave It its fave fruit and It loved me again! Sorry if I'm confusing you with this Chao talk, Is anyone here a Chao raiser? I feel lonely... Let's talk Chao!

The windshield on my car was attacked by a beer can thrown by some random person Monday night as I made my way to Walmart to pick up my fiancee from work.

My parents helped me get it fixed, but now I owe them more money because they also helped me by a computer recently (the old one was.. old).

I can't seem to bring myself to go across town and visit my parents so that I can abuse borrow the internet connection and do my homework, I have trouble sleeping, and I don't seem to eat as much as I used to..

There's also that Girlfriend song by Avril Lavine (sp?) that I can't seem to get out of my head, and my fiancee likes to sing it, even though it makes absolutely no sense for her to sing it.

Okay I'm back after getting a DVD drive installed on my computer. Now I must get a few things out of the way.
1. Cats > Dogs
2. Cartridge Blowing is sometimes acceptable. Like last night when I blew into my SMA4 cartridge; it was working fine afterwards.
3. Cartridge Licking is something that's just so stupid I don't even want to get into it.
4. Kittens pwn
5. Littering is bad. Especially when beer cans are used.

Now for my angst, I owe my grandmother like $170 in phone bills and computer repairs. :/

I have angst because my supposed "friend" (http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?action=profile;u=58638) had the nerve to laugh at me when I told him I fell head-first off my bike today, did a 360 turn in mid-air, and had to be taken to the hospital. He even went as far as to shout out his window to some kid I don't know, "He bust his melon!". I'm fine now, but I don't think I'll be talking to him for a while... maybe even not ever again.

Sounds like something straight out of a slapstick flick, or The Three Stooges.

I don't know, my friends and I are always poking fun at each other, even when we're supposed to be serious. In fact, I think the friend I made at the beginning of this year used to be an angry, scathing, loner who was also pretty nerdy but over the year my influence was able to change him into a comedic socialite, who also exhibits a small bit of sexism. He even admits he felt a little depressed that he started mimicing my mannerisms.

In an angst related note, I suffered 3 losses in a row in Pokemon today. To be fair though, 2 of my opponents had an almost all Level 100 team while I only have 2 and one that's at Level 95.

Chaos are basically a poor man's Neopets, which was pretty much a poor man's Digimon, which in turn was a poor man's Pokemon. That makes it three generations poor.

Neopets is evil and I can't believe I subjected myself to that crap for a year and a half. Chao and Pokémon FTW.

Joking friends: I usually have friends who know when to be serious. A friend of mine kept joking about committing suicide once, and it made me burst into tears, when he asked me why, I explained to him that I had lost a great aunt, a great uncle, an art teacher, my maternal grandmother, and two of my cats all in one year. He stopped the suicide jokes afterward, realizing that I would never want to lose a friend to something such as suicide, even if he was only joking about it.

Neopets: I had a Neopets account. It was fun, but I got tired of it. I have a feeling my Techo and two Buzz are starving quite a bit...

I have ANGST!

The windshield on my car was attacked by a beer can thrown by some random person Monday night as I made my way to Walmart to pick up my fiancee from work. It completely shattered (but didn't fall out) and scared me half to death. My parents helped me get it fixed, but now I owe them more money because they also helped me by a computer recently (the old one was.. old).

I'm sorry, but I find it absolutely hilarious that she likes to sing that song :D. That song is extremely catchy.

in

Guitar Hero II: The Tragedy

An epic starring bobman37

In I walked, first to arrive at the local Play n Trade used videogame store. What can I say? I was excited for my first real tournament.

I had run through my plan over and over in my mind. Don't accept their song choice. Try to figure out which songs they suck at. Don't forget Killing in the Name. And, most of all, don't choke.

The first competitor practically ran through the doorway, not five minutes after my arrival. He was your typical ten-year-old kid, short, glasses, optimistic. I had never seen a case for a Guitar Hero controller until that moment. I was almost impressed. almost.

Then he started talking. My slightly-impressed first impression quickly turned to disgust. I have very low tolerance for obnoxious high-pitched annoying things. This kid fit the bill perfectly. This was set to be a long few hours.

All four of the other competitors slowly trickled into the store, none passing my belly button in height. Each carried his own sticker-decked GH controller, most of them red. Turns out the kid with the case actually had a wireless controller. None seemed coordinated enough even to handle a two-note chord. Then I slipped up: I doomed myself. Started counting my chickens before they hatched. I was figuring out where my $50-in-store-credit first prize was going to be blown. Thought I had it in the bag. Way to go, bobman. You just screwed yourself before you even played a note.

Because little did I know. One of the two staff members at the store turned to one of the short, third-to-fifth-grade-age kids.

"Hey!" he said.

"You're that kid on YouTube!"

What?

I was half-paying attention, half-watching the first two kids wield their axes and battle it out. I was concentrated on how stiff the competition would actually be. So concentrated, in fact, I had no idea a legend was seven feet away from me.

The store employee rushed to his computer. Clicked the mouse a few times, typed a few letters. I turned my head, growing tired with the Heroes currently dueling. They had no skill of immediate importance.

The employee turned his computer so people could watch the video* he pulled up. I looked over at the kid smiling up at me.

I looked back at the screen.

Same kid. I was blown away.

I watched the video for a bit. Impeccable playing. Ripping it up. I was screwed.

************************************************

We met in the final round. Five songs, three to win. First Jessica, then his specialty (Psychobilly Freakout), then Light that Blinds. He won three in a row. Took "my" prize right from under my nose. I was both awestruck and frustrated.

The employee shouted, "Freebird!"

Ha ha. Very funny.

He killed me on Freebird, too.

I got the 8-year-old legend to sign my lowly second-place T-shirt. Hopefully it'll fetch some nice dough on eBay. For now, though, I'm left with somewhat empty hands and a severely dented dignity.

* 8-year-old legend on Psychobilly Freakout (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yEjyuw42YY)

Epilogue

The kid's going to Nationals. Technically. He's really going to just send his best Freebird score in to the store. That's how they're running it.

After the tourney, I played against him on Less Talk More Rokk and Jordan just for "fun". LTMR wasn't as embarrassing. I was within 50,000 points at the end. On Jordan, he got 91 percent. I struggled for 72.

Best player I've ever seen, and he's eight years old.

Unimaginable.

There should be something like a minimum amount of words (or quality of post) that could make posts with one word (like in the Mario Word Association thread) not count, but lengthy things that took time to write and are heartfelt (er.. like the stories) could count.

Now, for some more ANGST: I absolutely hate Windows Vista. I have to give it permission to open every sinlge thing that I open up, whether or not the program has seen it before, I have to keep registering my copy of Illustrator, and I've come to find out that the printer that comes packed in with the computer doesn't even work. Apparently, Vista doesn't recognize it's own flipping printer. My dad just helped me spend an hour looking at files on my computer, and on the Dell website, and there's some kind of problem between Vista and the printer interface that Microsoft apparently overlooked. I'm so mad I almost want to switch back to my old computer (which is impossible, since we sent it back to Dell).

I got off of work at 7, thinking I could go home and get some homework done early, before it gets too late, but I lost an hour due to stupid Windows Vista. Cheese, I hate Vista!! I want my Windows XP back (not just because it's got an emoticon in it's title.. it at least worked with little things like printers..)

I've got Vista, and I'm finding it to be marginally better than XP. I haven't had any crashes that weren't the fault of the software. Or my fault, for that matter.

Vista's nothing to upgrade to, but if you're buying a new PC, it might be a good idea. It depends on how adventurous you are, because Vista's got several interesting differences, particularly in how you search and display files.

I have angst because I was writing a book (Or rather typing it up on my laptop.) and my brother was going to move it to the living room because the internet tends to work in that location. I told him to save my work before he did, just in case something went wrong. Aaaand, well, my computer's battery wasn't working well, it would shut down instantly when I unplugged it (Remember, this is a LAPTOP, and the battery life was fine.) and it did exactly what it usually did, and nope, my brother didn't save it.

DANG IT. I'm not really mad at my brother so much as frustrated, but this is driving me up the wall. It was a ton of work. :/

I just failed US History.  With the grades I've gotten this year for the class, the only way I would pass would be if I passed the regents exam, which is easy.  It wouldn't matter if I had all 100s, if I fail the Regents, I fail the class.  I knew that I had to take the Chemisty Regents on Wednesday, tomorrow, and the US History Regents on Thursday.  I knew this because my buddy and I have been checking the paper saying when the exams were, what day and time, for the last 3 weeks.  I was absolutely positive, without a doubt, definately sure the US Regents was Thursday.  But it wasn't.  I don't know if this whole time I have been an idiot, unable to read, the school misprinted the paper, or the exam was moved, but there was a mishap in communication and the US exam was today at 12:30.  I only just found out now because the school called my friend at 1:30 saying he was missing the exam.  He ran there and took the rest of it, but no one called me.  Well, my friend called my cell phone, but I didn't hear it, and when I didn't answer he figured I was taking the exam.  Now I don't know what I am supposed to do, since I'm pretty sure there isn't a "make-up day" for the exam, and any school I look to for after high school will notice this horrible incident, along with the other less-than-stellar reports.  I may as well get a job at McDonalds now.

Actually, if you fail the regents but pass the class, all you have to do is take the regents again later. Why did you fail U.S. History? It was an easy class for me. I SLEPT in that class and got A's on the tests containing questions answered in lessons I slept through.

I have angst because I walked outside today to take out the garbage and a cat jumped out and scared the freakin' crap out of me.

Yeah, you'll have to take Math B again, but I'm not sure about Spanish. In my high school, as long as you took and passed the proficiency exam (you're telling me you took the regents, which tells me you took the proficiency a year or so before and passed it) for Spanish, French, or Italian, you didn't have to take the class anymore, continuing it was completely optional. You could try going to your guidance counselor and ask if that is also true for your high school.

Math B is hard, I know. I dropped Math B after B1 and substituted the B2 and B3 credits with Web Design 1 and 2. Didn't take the regents.

Correct. I've been around friends who've had cats, and my opinion of them is that they're selfish, lazy animals who don't even have the courage to go outside and...........well, let's just say the litter box is horrible.

In my opinion, dogs are fun, caring animals that are happy just to see you everyday. They're always ready to get up and play, which may explain why I like them so much.

Cats aren't even that fun to play with. You either dress them up or they sleep. They can't run or play fetch, wrestle with you or even take walks with you on the street. I supose they're good pets for introverts, but I like to do fun things outside.

And some cats like to play with strings.  I don't supposed you've ever seen a litter of kittens wrestle or pounce each other.  It's one of the cutest things ever. <3

None of our cats have ever been selfish, per se, but they certainly do expect you to assist them.

Now, I dislike dogs out of my own past experience, but I think that it's more than just one's observations. I suspect the cat/dog inclination has something to do with personality.

Well... you don't have to go to that topic, and no cat pictures are posted anywhere else (except for mine here which predates the topic). Just pointing that out.

The WWE may have already dominated the nominees for Gooker Award of the Year, but TNA is surely going to take the Worst Promotion category.

I mean, here they have Jay Lethal, who goes from total joober to most over face in a couple of months, gets built up as a huge face, and then wins the X Division Championship at a terrible Pay Per View in one of the few good matches of the night.

Then we have Jim Cornette put him in an all champions match with Kurt Angle, against Team 3D, with all the titles on the line, and it turns out to be a totally planned main event so they can insert Samoa Joe into the match and then obviously have Kurt Angle hold all gold before his crippled body completely breaks down.

I've never been a huge TNA fan, but to try and defend this crap against the critics is basically a way for you to be admitting you're a mark for anyhing that doesn't have McMahon attached to it.

It's no surprise either, giving that the main booker is Vince Russo, who practically killed WCW with his retarded storylines, terrible pacing, and abomination of gimmick match after gimmick match. He seems to be on track with killing TNA too.

Thankfully, Ron Killings and Konnan have severed their ties with them.

I hate dogs. They always bark at you for no reason. I remember this one time when I was chased by a dog when I was kindergarten-aged. It chased me all the way to the door of my house, and thankfully, I made it inside okay.

Just recently, I experienced hurricane-like weather while at my job. The wind was strong enough to actually blow off one of the automatic doors. During the storm, a stray dog wandered inside the market where I work and just started roaming through the store. It wasn't feral or anything, since it had a collar, but I still decided to stay outside in the rain.

I like cats because they're reserved, and mostly quiet. Sydney usually likes attention, though, and meows at you whenever you say something to her.

Oh, and they are playful. At least, mine are.

A friend of mine has a big dog (I'm not sure about what type it is, it might be a Siberian Husky) who enjoys playing rough. I've seen him come to school with scratches on his arms, stating that he got them from fighting with his dog, Juno.  He invited me to his birthday party and I saw him with a band-aid on his face. His dog had apparently made a gash on the left side of his face the night before his 14th birthday (yes, he's 4 years younger than me). He had to get stitches, and the band-aid was used to hide them from people. In the days we had school, the band-aid would've usually fallen off by the afternoon, exposing his stitches to everyone. They were removed after about 2 weeks, but a scar is there, and it still hurts him if you touch it.

Dogs are usually rough and too aggressive when their owners abuse them Vid, so the dog may have had some bad times before with your friend. All dogs are not rough, they can be trained to be cuddly, loyal, and be aggressive only when needed, that dog may have been mistreated by his owner if he acts so aggressive with them. It's just natural for a dog to be mean depending on it's breed.

He didn't ABUSE her. Read the post more carefully. It was play fighting, for the most part. Animals (even human animals) who are friendly with each other do it all the time.

The dog, for the most part, was gentle, from what I've seen of her. Dogs DO have claws though, and accidents can happen. He says he accidently scared her the night before, and one of her paws hit his face, getting a claw stuck in it.

I never said that your friend did mistreat his dog, I said that there could be a possibility, I misread your post, I thought your friends dog was actually aggressive, your friend seems like he has trouble with his dog, since he has all these scratches and scars, he has to be more controlling with his pets (I don't mean hitting the dog when misbehaving) But let it know that YOU are the master so he can make his dog stop when he's being too rough. My dog always seems to be jumping when he sees me, and when you get too close, SLASH! But he doesn't mean to scratch you, my dog is just really exited, so we have his nails trimed and cut to be less dangerous, has your friend considered having his dog's nails cut?

I have some angst..

I work with a bunch of lazy black people. All they do is stand around and talk while the rest of us work. Only the black manager is a good worker. All the others are rude and completely ignore the needs of the customers. There's this one that's a crew cheif and they put her in the drive thru on headset all the time, and when the customers ask her to repeat herself, she gets an attitude with them (like it's their fault they can't hear her).

I really, really wish my Burger King was less ghetto, because I'm either working with a bunch of black people that are rude (save for a handful), or a bunch of white people that act like the black people (again, save for a handful).

I hope that when I get another job, I work with people (black or white) who are less rude and more willing to help people out.

White people aren't acting like the black people, we are all just more similar than we admit!  Integration, yeah!

Oh wait, this is the Angst thread... so when I hear people complain, I try to join in and add some mindless complaining, but somehow I'm annoyed by what other people like, so I never end up helping the conversation and just feel more awkward.  Maybe Teddy Roosevelt had a point when he said "speak softly and carry a big stick".  Which, if you think carefully, means exactly the same thing as "If you don't have anything nice to say, make sure you have something heavy to throw"!  I need to take my own advice... :P

I have accepted that I can do nothing to change that, but it still irks me to no end because they are not black, yet they act it (ie: talking like, acting like, etc..)

Hmm...I'M OFFENDED!

NOT!

I meet a LOT of people like that. There are people who I've personally known that acted like that and I had to stop hanging out with them because they said I acted "white" when I acted like myself and/or spoke in proper English. I did NOT like this. It really irked me. I for one am not ghetto even though a lot of people I've known (or know) are.

I am the butt of jokes a lot of the time because I (note: add "I" before reading each of the following half-statements in order to make sense out of them)
 
- am mixed
- am light skinned
- can't dance
- like Panic! at the Disco
- am intelligent
- get good grades
- don't like rap music (generally)
- like "white" people music (Stereotype and labeling that annoys me)
- am into computers

Yeah, so that's my angst for today. :D

P.S.
Yes, sometimes my friends make these jokes. I tell them to cut it out and express how much I don't like it.

P.P.S.
In my opinion, people act *ghetto* when they try to act "gangsta" and/or talk very loudly, act out a lot, like rap music, shake their head and twist their head while talking. At least that's how the ghetto people I live around act like. A lot of black people act ghetto so black people are stereotypically labeled as "ghetto". And when a ghetto black person sees a black person who's not ghetto, they usually say the person acts "white". (It's happened to me so I'm telling from experiences)

Wow, this is my longest post in a while.

I think when white people act "like black people", they're really acting like the popular perception of black people. I mean, I have an African-American friend, and he's nerdier than me. Way nerdier. I always find it amusing whenever people act shocked because you don't act like a stereotype. I'm white, and I'm not some cousin-marrying hillbilly in overalls and a straw hat who rambles about personal accounts of alien-abduction. Thanfully, nobody ever makes that assumption.

I think what Toad means is acting like ghetto and gangsta people. Which are not all black. But some people look even worse than others when they go around with sideways ball caps with DC logos on them and chains full of bling hanging down in front of their gigantic t-shirts while holding their crotches and/or just having really baggy pants that don't stay up.

Once some snotty, younger boys at a church soup dinner picked on me, implying that I couldn't like Digimon or Dragonball Z just because I'm a girl.  I delivered the winning blow to that conflict when I said that Goku's Saiyan name is Kakarot.  They just gasped, and were just struck speechless.  It wasn't funny at the time, but when I look back at it, it's just hilarious.

One of my favorite pro wrestlers died today in his home in Atlanta. He was one of the most amazing wrestlers ever and now he's dead.

RIP Chris Benoit. He's with his pal Eddie now...

It's very disturbing that we've had so many wrestling deaths this year and now, we have possibly the greatest canadian wrestler, who was still active and still in the public's view, pass away so suddenly, and under even weirder circumstances than normal deaths.

I'm still shocked over all this. I hope whoever's responsible for this gets what's coming. Though apparantly, according to news outlets, his family was throwing up blood when he recieved the call home. I'm guessing something toxic has afflicted them. But how it reached them is still a mystery.

Max, you'll never know what they have to go through to do what they do. You try lifting guys 2 times your size and see if he's an athelete or not.


We were just trying to remember a great and friendly wrestler who could entertain the fans. I'm not suprised it was lost on someone.

Excuse me for being rude, but for someone to trash a person I liked and respected...so they aren't really beating the crap out of each other. What I do know is that they have to understand their body to perform some amazing moves that no normal person can do.

in fact, anyone passing away, for any reason, is something horrible to happen for someone to live through, especially if you actually know them...

...but pro wrestling IS mostly scripted and not everything you see is real. You're right about the "no normal person can do" part, though.

Yeah, his wife was a pro wrestler, too.

I don't care what anyone says, moving from elementary school to middle school or from middle school to high school ISN'T graduating.


Harsh? Probably, but it is not a big feat when you finish a school only to continue in another school because you HAVE to continue in another school. Sure, it's great that you keep going, but, did you get a diploma for your efforts? Not yet? Then don't call it a graduation.

I don't exactly see why graduating High School is such a big deal either, but whatever. Graduating when you "have to continue" seems about the same as graduating when you had to continue all that time before it, i.e. according to you, you didn't have any choice in the matter at any point.

I think graduation from any type of school whatsoever is more worthy of celebration and congratulation than a birthday, which everyone notices, celebrates, and congratulates, each and every year. All it means is that you did not die. How hard is that? Graduating middle school at least takes a bit more effort than the always-celebrated birthday.

Yes I did (http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=9327.msg475223#msg475223), Vid.


YES IT IS GRADUATING! I mean, your grades are good enough for you to move on. It's really worth celebration. But for some reason people think graduating from high school is more important than graduating from middle school. I disagree I think the same level of congratulations is deserved. I've seen people graduate from high school and get more congratulations than after they graduate from college.


And for the record, I did get a diploma :D. I'll show it to you all after I get the camera back up.

Hey! I did graduate from Kindergarten! The memory just showed up and I got a certificate...I look back and think that gradating from Kindergarten is pointless, although still worth congratulating a person on.

I will be blunt, Pt_Peach, I apologize in advance.

So, if you were to show that "diploma" to the boss of a government job, they'd accept you, and look at it JUST like they would a high school diploma? If you were to apply for college right now, and you said in your application you got a diploma from your middle school, would they look at that slip of paper of yours the same way they'd look at the book I was given the other day?

No?

That's not a diploma you have, puddin'. It's a fancy slip of paper. One that says you're done with middle school with important signatures on it. That's it. It's not a true "diploma." Sure, it's great that you completed middle school, but you still got 4 more years of required learnin' ahead of you. I don't. I can stop here if I wanted to.

Quote
I've seen people graduate from high school and get more congratulations than after they graduate from college.
Well, they didn't have to attend college. No one does. Like I said, after high school education is completely optional. I'd think graduating required learning is a bigger accomplishment then graduating something you chose to do.

Of course, you can have a party and ceremony and all that other good stuff, but to call it a "graduation" is merely an act of kindness from adults. A lie to make you feel like you've accomplished more than you really did. A "moving up" ceremony sounds more fitting for your level of education completion.

Congratulations on your completion of middle school, Pt. :D

I got a bogus middle school graduation too, last year. Not all that memorable--I sat on an uncomfortable chair in an uncomfortable gown with an uncomfortable suit underneath and an uncomfortable hat. I listened to some uncomfortably long speeches by the idiots elected to run the deal... "These Chinese takeout boxes are filled with momentums we will see in four years." Stab. Please. Then after an uncomfortable session of photos I got to go home and eat some cake with my family. And that wasn't all too bad.

Some of you (e.g. Vid) seem to misunderstand the meaning of "graduate".
7. to pass by degrees; change gradually.
10.   to arrange in grades or gradations; establish gradation in.
11.   to divide into or mark with degrees or other divisions, as the scale of a thermometer.
You even graduate from one grade in school to the next. Just most people don't make a big deal of it. All "graduating" is is going from one level to the next. The broad definition doesn't even mean leaving a chunk of school or finishing with it at all. So, Vid, your "graduation" ceremony was a "moving up" ceremony too. You lose. Good day sir.

Congratulations.

Well it seems to me the word "graduation" doesn't apply to school completion either. It does now, of course, because it has acquired that meaning, but it's a kind of nonsensical use of the word.
I'm also going to note for Vid's info that public education isn't exactly mandatory in most places, either.

Well, I have angst because my teen group was to go to a movie, but we had to meet a 10 this morning, and my dad just had a wisdom tooth pulled out.  Even if I got up before 9, my dad would not be in good shape to drive me over to the city, and I had already had enough trips there for one week.  >_<

What a pity, too. I went on a $150 shopping spree for gaming stuff the day before.

On the bright side of things, the only game I want for my DS, Phantom Hourglass, isn't coming out for a while now. I haven't been playing much of the DS lately, due to not enough games coming out, the Wii entering my life and the nearly-dead battery I was going to replace, but I guess there's no sense in doing that now.

However, I'm also angsty towards the fact that Excite Truck multiplayer sucks.

Yet, we still get people that come in starting at lunch time, asking about the specail on the sign and how come we are not doing it yet. Of course I and my co-workers have been very nice about explaining it, but it gets kind of grating to do it about once every 5 minutes. They can't seem to wrap their minds around the fact that it happens after 9PM.

I love the idea of Assist Trophies because now it'll prevent morons from suggesting a Koopa or worse, a Goomba be turned into a fully playable character in the game.

However, it also means we'll get more whining about how a certain character was reduced to being a mere Striker or false hope of seeing more from the Third Party characters universe through this method.

ANGST because my other computer decided it didn't like picking up a wireless network signal and decided to erase a morning's worth of progress. So much for the reassurances that everything would end up being fine... if this is fine, then I don't even want to think about what the computer would be like if it wasn't.

I have ANGST because I have been having trouble for the last two months involving my computer and my mp3 player. I had been using the two (Windows XP OS, custom-built computer; Creative Labs Zen V Plus 2 GB mp3 player) without any troubles at all ever since I received the mp3 player as a gift for Christmas '06. But one day, when my friend came over with his mp3 player, which was the same one (albeit his was a SanDisk m230 512 MB and mine was an m240series 1 GB) as my previous mp3 player (I still had the software from it), his wouldn't connect. We tried and tried, but nothing happened.
Then, once I got a few more music albums, I decided I should put those in and take some old ones out. However, as I connected the player, it turned on instead of going to the standby mode for transferring mp3s and WMAs (the same thing that had happened with the last player). I've uninstalled and reinstalled the software many times over, but I get the same result, which the computer says is a hardware problem. Unless it means a hardware problem with the computer itself, it's not possible that the problem lies within the mp3 player, as it and a totally different one both did not connect with the computer.
So, I've tried everything. Other USB ports, blowing into the USB ports and plugs, uninstall/reinstall, everything as far as I know. I also can't contact Creative Labs because they have some bupkis deal where you can only call free for the first 90 days of owning your product, and then they charge a monthly fee to use the service or something like that. Anyone got any suggestions?

At least my router situation seems to be under control.

Yeah I was arrested for Criminal Trespassing B, which is about the lowest trespassing charge you can get.  Me and my friends went into this abandoned building shooting an independent horror film (let me add that the place was just about perfect, it had broken windows building material ripped out of everywhere, broken stairwell and elevators, etc).  And I guess the people who own the property saw us walk in, and they called the cops.

         Let me add that this building was open already, so we didn't have to do anything to get in.  Otherwise it would have been bumped up to breaking and entering.  I guess there is a basement in the place that builds high-quality bmx bikes, if there's any bikers in here you would know this company as FBM, and they distribute these bikes from that factory to all over the world.  And over the past week they've experienced a couple of burglaries, but since I had the camera with me it was obvious we weren't there to comitt any crime.

Although I've never been arrested, I've had a few "brushes with the law". For example, there was a time that an employee at Wal-Mart saw me picking up some DVDs and, apparently, something about my mannerisms led him to believe I was shoplifting. I swear, about a minute later an entire Wal-Mart SWAT team came crashing in through the roof.

Well, today I was forced to see Harry Potter and the Something Something. I forget what it was called, because, in my brain's list of things to remember, the title of a Harry Potter book/movie is very low on the list. Anyway, it was the boringest thing I've ever seen. Something about, like, Hogwarts being taken over by this short lady, and Harry making out with all the female co-stars, maybe. Also, that lady from Fight Club was in it, I think. Even during action scenes there was no action, and the plot is basically identical to the first sixteen Harry Potter movies. Plus, and I know this will make me seem like some socially ignorant butt, but I couldn't understand half the dialogue, since everyone spoke with an English accent. Even my sister and my dad, who were the ones who conspired to take me to this movie, hated it. She even sneaked out of the theater to go watch Transformers again. It could be that I'm heavily biased against fantasy movies, which I am, but I was more excited to take a bathroom break than watch this movie.

Have you read the books? The books are better.

People always say that (in general, not just Harry Potter) and though for the most part, I agree, I just HATE it whenever it's said. Goes for any movie based on a book.

The tone of it when it's said by anyone rubs me the wrong way, as 90% of the time it's said in a condescending manner, basically insulting the person who only saw the movie and not read the book version.

I know I'd rather watch the movie than read the book sometimes. Harry Potter is one case of this. Of course, there are situations where I'd rather read the book than watch the movie (Tarzan being a good example).

And now for a huge shocker: I dislike The Lord of the Rings series, books AND movies. The books get too descriptive and I get bored if the plotline doesn't actually move for more than two pages. I fell asleep while trying to watch the first movie when it was in theaters, and didn't bother to see the others.

I hate whenever I feel like I'm supposed to like a popular movie. It's even worse when the movie is lousy anyway. To me, the Harry Potter series, which, yes, I have read, is basically just a bunch of formulaic plot events (Harry gets kicked out of his crappy home, Harry goes to Hogwarts, Harry meets a new villian, then a bunch of holidays, then the final battle) and weird psuedo-metaphorical crap (so, Voldemort can only take you over if you once lost a family member and...wha?) wrapped around a boring narrative. Every Harry Potter book and movie is, on a basic level, the same story. I wouldn't be surprised if J.K. Rowling has an identical checklist of plot points that she uses for every book.

I hate whenever I feel like I'm supposed to like a popular movie.

I've felt similarly about Transformers. At another forum I go to, I made a thread about Ratatouille, letting the people there know it was a good movie and that they'd like it if they went to see it. What were the majority of the replies? "I'd rather see Transformers instead". "Transformers is awesome, I'll probably see that instead of Ratatouille and rent Ratatouille when it comes out on DVD", "It probably has NOTHING against Transformers. I'm seeing that."

I seriously feel like, just to bust their chops a little, posting there telling them I hate Transformers and that the movie is probably terrible. Truthfully, I have neutral opinions of Transformers in general, I recall watching the cartoon (was it anime? I can't remember) as a very young child but not being too crazy about it.

Why do people have to choose between movies to see?  Is it some "once a month" rule or something?

As for having to like something popular, I don't know if others have this problem, but the crowd that I am near most of the time often gossips.  And I don't know if I'm just bad at it or what, but it is really boring and I feel let down every time someone starts talking about someone I don't know who did something I don't care about.   It's like everyone has to go around and mention someone or something they know that is cool, but I'd rather go do stuff.  That's why I just climb buildings at parties.

I love how a couple of years ago, they referenced the Wild Thornberries movie and commented on how you're paying money for a movie based on a show you could watch for free on TV.

I think the same philosophy applies here. Especially since it'll probably be just as bad as recent seasons but people will go and see it anyway because of the name and hype.

I very rarely bother to watch movies, in part because there are very few movies worth seeing. Also what is with these guys and their total unwillingness to watch the few movies that are actually worth seeing at least once?
For the record, I would rather see Transformers than Ratatouille.
I don't really care about Harry Potter at all but the movies are sort of entertaining.
Books are sort of "better" than the movies they make from them but since they're completely different forms of media I don't understand how one can really compare them in the first place. A lot of the time you feel that way because in order to make the movie work, they have to rearrange parts of the book. Of course, there are those inexcusable examples (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) of a story horribly mutilated for no good reason at all.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Markio on July 19, 2007, 09:30:44 PM
We had some big discussion on books vs. movies in my English class last year, you know, anything but learn English, but one major point was that a movie based on a book is only one interpretation of the book, while you can interpret a book however you want when you read it.  Like sometimes for fun I just imagine the characters flailing their arms about while talking, and you'll probably never see that in a movie... :/

Man, I didn't like that English teacher.  He needed a therapist to talk to, because he would make us listen to his stories and advice which had no relevant point, often no point at all except to talk for the sake of talking.  I talk for no reason too, but not during class when we're supposed to be learning.  What's worse is that no one else seemed to be interested in English, and people would ask questions about his tangents which would result in more tangents, and it seemed like he would always explain everything in long, convoluted examples that were often weak in the first place, making him have to use another example and go on and on and on... He also asked vague questions when he expected one specific answer that he should have just told us.  For example, "what does every story have?"  Out of all possible answers, he meant to talk about "Endings", although we never really got around to it because he ended up getting sidetracked by himself and telling us some other story.  One time we started class by letting us read a poem and then analyze it, but instead he spent no shorter than fifty-five minutes talking about how adulthood is dismal and we would all grow up to be fat and unhappy and depressed, after which I had to raise my hand and start analyzing the poem to everyone else's verbal dismay, which made me stand up and yell what Ben Jonson's "On My First Son" was about for another five minutes until my adrenalin subued and I sat back down nd trailed off.  I had promised myself I wouldn't freak out in a class that year too...
The only reason I'm complaining is because this is the Angst thread and it makes me feel better.  Because I don't have a therapist either, so I dump my problems on all of you, we dump them on each other in this thread, don't we?  Besides, he's not my teacher anymore, and I got through the class without too much of a fuss(besides that one time), especially since by second semester I learned to take his lessons not seriously unless he was talking aout English.  He loved to get himself worked up and talk about really serious melancholy subjects, like how he fell on afire when he was three and now his legs have burns on them, or how he had to take five years of high school and eight of college to get his undergraduate degree. He would just introduce these stories, and I didn't know whether to feel sorry for him or pray he would get a therapist.  I learned more about his childhood than I did about writing essays.  Of course if he were talking about something outside himself in a matter-of-fact way, I loved to ease the tension with a good one-liner.  Man, those can ease anything!

I've felt similarly about Transformers. At another forum I go to, I made a thread about Ratatouille, letting the people there know it was a good movie and that they'd like it if they went to see it. What were the majority of the replies? "I'd rather see Transformers instead". "Transformers is awesome, I'll probably see that instead of Ratatouille and rent Ratatouille when it comes out on DVD", "It probably has NOTHING against Transformers. I'm seeing that."

I seriously feel like, just to bust their chops a little, posting there telling them I hate Transformers and that the movie is probably terrible. Truthfully, I have neutral opinions of Transformers in general, I recall watching the cartoon (was it anime? I can't remember) as a very young child but not being too crazy about it.

I can't help but wonder what other forums you visit, Vid. I guess it's because I'm so used to just seeing you on the FF. A user at another forum I go to currently has a sig saying to go see the movie. I'll watch it.

I just saw Ratatouille today, and I loved it!  I'm active on two other forums.  One of them, I KNOW the majority would say "I'd rather see Transformers instead". Angst time: I tried to make a YouTube Poop thread on the aforementioned forum, but the majority of the members just spit on it. :/

Really, custom titles are no big deal. No reason to get flustered or frustrated. Especially if, say, you're given a CT by a spiteful moderator as a power-abusing attempt to make themself look like they won some sort of argument that was never really even an argument at all. You know what I mean? Total waste of valuable energy, getting mad about a custom title.
Oh, I got a new custom title. By the look of it, someone is ridiculing how I am about improper grammar. Fascinating. I wonder who could have given me this one...
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Markio on July 26, 2007, 12:05:55 AM
Yeah, but easily offended people can easily not enjoy Connecticuts--er, CTs.  Being an easily offended person, a custom title taken personally can be compared to Puritanism and Communism, as shown in the following:

In The Scarlet Letter, a Puritan woman who commited adultery must wear a red letter "A" to remind her and everyone of her sin, and therefore she is judged by all.  Because adultery has negative connotations, one with a custom title expressing a negative aspect of himself may therefore be constantly aware of his faults and everyone's easy accessibility to judgement that person.

With Communism, excessive paranoia of treasonous citizens resulted in persons spying and telling on other citizens.  The accusers received benefits, while the accused were punished for treason.  Because of the threat of other citizens, a communist would have to keep his head down and his mouth shut in order to avoid persecution by his neighbors.  Similarly, custom titles usually result from one's behavior or personality and therefore one must lie low in order to avoid the punishment of being publicly deemed as a person with ill behavior or qualities.

However, two differences between those topics and custom titles are that for one, custom titles often may infer no such ill behavior and may refer to some other aspect of a person, and therefore may not be as putrid in effect.  Secondly, the downside is that custom titles usually remain after one may have changed his behavior or crudeness that led him to receive the custom title in the first place, therefore allowing his previous reputation to precede him unfairly.  Supposedly if one brought up a good case against his custom title, it seems like it could then be removed.  However, often a custom title may be seemingly inoffensive while the user will take offense due to self-esteem, emotional instability, or most commonly their dignity, and in such cases the user will either have to deal with his label, or continue to react until he gets results.  However, taking constant actions will usually result in more negative results, such as a worse custom title that points out their obstinancy or whining, and so one must be careful to question how offensive their custom title really is.  If internal agony persists, then the problem should probably be raised if it cannot be avoided.  Or bribery would probably get results. Ultimately, one will suffer if they are overly self-conscious, and one should seek reassurance in the fact that custom titles get old fast and sink into a bland state of ordinariness.

One who gives custom titles is not always at fault if the custom title offends, since he or she can't really tell before the person receives it.  However, if one gives someone a custom title on the sole basis that the person had previously expressed a distate for such a custom title, and had no other affiliation with such a title, then the person who gives the custom title is a cruel malevolent jerk who ought to reexamine their morals of human decency, because their intent was to cause the person pain rather than give a more apt or logical title that in some way relates to an aspect of the person.

Rude titles should only be given as warnings in relation to the person's conduct, especially if that person has been previously warned and still continues to act distastefully.  Then it would be the fault of the person who receives the title for not altering their conduct after such warnings.

That's been on my chest for a long time.

I've had the same hairstyle since I was at least four.  Parted on the right side, although a little tousled to look more casual.  I got a haircut last week or so, and my hair is pretty short, but I like it that way.  Having longer hair that covered my forehead and the tops of my ears makes me feel younger.  And conformist, because everyone at school does it...  I don't like feeling younger, it's like feeling inferior.  I feel younger from longer hair and when only wearing socks or being barefoot.  And sometimes when wearing shorts.  And that's why I have angst.  Not a lot of angst, though.  I pleasant dose to keep me from condescending others.  nlike those guys who are so confident they step all over you like a doormat.  I think it would be fun to have a doormat fight where your only weapon is a doormat, just for the experience, but that's left for the Hopeful Thread...

I have a few things that've been bothering me. I know I've posted about most of them before, but I thought I would post again, since it helps to talk.. type about it.

This is part of a letter that I sent my student advisor. I am failing that one class again, and will likely be put on academic probation, which means I would have one semester to bring my grades up, or consider expellment. It's not that I'm a bad student, it's that I have poor/no study habits. I'll often get on the computer and visit other websites (such as this one) instead of doing my homework, and often, by the time I remember to look things up for my homework, it's time to pack up and go home so I can go to bed and get ready for work.

My advisor asked me what I though a few things were that I could do to improve my study habits.. (warning: lengthy post ahead)..

Well, this really wasn't mandatory, but up until a couple of weeks ago, my fiancee and I lived 20 minutes away from my parents (who have the internet connection so that I can go to class, you know..) I often would drive to work, drive to our apartment and get a shower, and then come back across town with as much laundry and school work as I could carry. This would often come at the expense of my sleep. I would sit there for hours, looking at the assignments, and then write them down/mark pages/etc to make sure I didn't forget, but then a few days later.. well, you already know the rest. :/

Anyway, I thus started losing interest, and didn't have any motivation to drive myself across town every day or every other day. I would just sit at my apartment and play video games, think about how I wished that we had an internet connection, and then go to bed and often repeat the process.

We now live very close to my parents and are talking about getting an internet connection in our place, so doing assignments should be easier. I will still carry my books and things with me, so as to act like I am going to class (because, well, that's what I'm doing).

I was a little depressed there for  awhile, and it seems to have lingered on longer than I would have liked. I think it's a combo of not liking my job and not getting enough sleep (which makes me a bit irrate toward friends and family).

I am hoping to change all that, starting with this next term, because I know I don't have the marks to pass this class this term. There's no chance of extra credit, and I am really having a problem finding a piece of hardware that will work with my computer (I want my Windows XP back).

I am going to look for a new job and try to go to bed early enough to get more sleep than I've been getting. Now that I live closer, it should be easier to attend classes until I get my own internet connection.

Post by: Suffix on July 29, 2007, 12:21:25 AM
In times of extreme crisis (which I have never experienced to this degree), I would separate myself completely from the internet. It makes me much more productive in school matters.

And now, it's Suffix's own ANGST story! The Case of Amnesia and the Missing Teeth!

Yesterday, I woke up at six o' clock to a peculiar pill, Halcium, or something like that. One hour later, I climbed into our van and then something bizarre happened: I developed amnesia. Six hours later, I was waken up on our front couch to extreme pain, and was kept awake only long enough to take another pain-relieving pill or two with what I believed to be apple juice. This process continued until this very morning, when I was awake enough to use the bathroom.

I still cannot open my mouth wide enough to see the damage however. Yesterday morning, my four wisdom teeth were removed. Although my head still feels like it's splitting, I can't help but wonder how I got out of the car, got back into the car... Despite my puffy face, I managed to ask about it. Apparently, I moved on my own account but in a sleepwalking-like state. "Don't worry," she said, "you didn't say anything incriminating."

Bah, I need to ice my face again, but it doesn't seem to be working. Nutjob says I look "like a chipmunk."

Halcium?  Was it maybe Valium?  I had to take Valium the morning or night before I had an extra tooth pulled.  I was just born with an extra incisor, but the root died, so they pulled it.  I still want to get my wisdom teeth out, despite the horror of your story.  And what does one do with his wisdom teeth once they're out?  I guess you could have a little funeral, but I really don't have a clue.

No, don't worry. I don't live in a rural area.

I asked about the drug again, Markio, and it's Halcion, which comes from Triazolam. As it turns out, it DOES cause amnesia, but it shouldn't have been as powerful as it was in my .5 mg dose. Halcion is used as an adjuvant (a catalyst of sorts) for other anesthetics.

I have angst because my mom complained for the [insert large number]th time about me moving out. As far as I'm concerned, she expects me to somehow pull a Driver's ID out of my butt. She also says that I'm a waste of food and money and that dad is going to die (I have no idea what she's basing that last part on). Thus now I can no longer eat. Fine by me. I'd rather not live in a loveless household and the only way to get out of it is through death.

Late August cannot come soon enough. I want out of this house. My dad has always been a total jerk to me for the past four years. Ever since we had gotten wireless internet back in 2003, my dad thinks it's all right to place the blame upon me for all technological problems in the house, just because I know more about computers than he does. Even worse, he refuses to learn when I offer to show him how he can fix it himself because it contradicts his delusion that he's all-knowing and always right (what do you suspect from someone who spends every waking moment listening to Rush Limbaugh).

Whenever something comes up, he screams at me to come down and demands that I fix his problems, like for instance, a show started recording and so another channel is unreachable. Despite the clear instructions on the screen on how to cancel the recording, he screams at me and demands his instant gratification. I suspect he has some sort of hate towards me, because when my brother comes to fix any problems in any hi-tech stuff we own, he acts patient and considerate, but he has to scream or even threaten me as I am trying to fix the problem as fast as I can.

Most of the time he is awfully rude. I am watching a show, and he comes in and immediately says "what's this stupid thing?" or insults me at the table in front of guests, calling me "moron" or bringing up crap like "He watches Simpsons" even when he knows I haven't watched the show in over a year.

This is the reason I do not want a cell phone when I go to college. Although I insist to my mom that the reason is that I'm up for paying $70 a month for something I will not use a lot, I know that he will call non-stop and complain about crap that he knows God-well that he can fix it himself. I am tired of him. I want to go to school really badly.

Ike is the mercenary turned lord/main character from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and it's sequal, Goddess of Dawn. Basically, he sucks at the beginning of the game but turns out to be pretty good if you train him well. He gets all emo over his dad letting himself get killed by his former ally and then cries even bigger tears when he's informed about how the many races of Laguz (aka FURRIES) are treated with prejudice and used as slaves by some creepy fat guy who's also a priest. He also has an incestual little sister and this princess who toally likes him, but he's always too busy mumbling about Laguz rights and "OMG my dad's dead bawwwwww".

Basically, he's a cross of Eliwood and Marth and he'd be cool if he wasn't a total girly man.

The bridge that crosses the Mississippi River on 35 W in Minneapolis has collapsed.  So far, seven people are confirmed dead, and at least 37 injured (six critically).  50 cars fell into the river (or were on the bridge at the time of its ruination) including a bus full of children, which was found leaning dangerously against a rail.  Fortunately, none of these kids were fatally hurt.  Thus far, the cause of this sudden catastrophe is inscrutable and cannot be defined, but investigations are being driven.  While terrorism is not suspected, this horribly tragic event deserves scrutiny until discernment.

....because if some dude has a gun and the other dude has a sword, the guy with the gun will win (most of the time). Saying that Ike would win because he has a sword that can chop Snake in half is not nearly as logical as saying Snake would win because he has a gun.

So sure, Ike could beat Snake in Brawl because the game isn't very realistic. Kimimaru's comment needed a parallel though.

Or you don't understand what I said. I'll add details.
What I mean is, statements, "Snake can kill Ike," and the like are really invalid. If it were fact, nobody would ever choose Ike and all would go for Snake. When there are tournaments, do people say, at the end, "Samus beat Captain Falcon!!!!" No. The names of the players are used.

Well...he makes promises and doesn't fulfill them. He and my mom are divorced. I don't mean to put him on blast, but he doesn't do anything for us. He told me and my sister's that he'd get us a Wii a year ago (yes, we asked for it before it came out). I told him the price. $250. He said yes. He has never bought us anything that expensive. Now, he says that he never said that. I have witnesses (my mom and my sisters and my friends). I asked him by phone. I was freaking out about asking him for it but he agreed to it. I kept getting shipment dates and he always said that he was going to give me the money but he never did. He does this all the time. If he doesn't want to do something, he says that he never said that he'd do so-and-so. It's terrible and horribly annoying.

I scheduled a doctor's appointment but he couldn't write me in until October 3 (This guy has been my doctor since I was born). I don't know how I'll be able to deal with this. I might just have to go the ER if it gets any worse (according to my mother). I think I told you all before that my earaches are a result of my busting my eardrum with a q-tip 7 years ago.

But my involuntary insomnia comes from my anxiety problems, not headaches (though I'm truly sorry to hear that, Pt_Peach).
It seems as though there's always a looming doubt in my mind that either concerns the daunting future or pieces of my ill-spent past.  I usually have to get up in the middle of the night and walk around just to feel the hardly comforting relief of setting my mind on even the most simple of tasks (as though sleeping is a waste of "precious minutes" that could be used for building on more practical strengths).
I sincerely hope something is done about your aches, though, Pt_Peach.  Especially your earaches.  X(

My Wii doesn't read GameCube discs anymore (without it taking forever, some never load). Now I have to send it to Nintendo, they'll probably just send me a new one, and I'll have to re-register people's friend codes and have them register mine... grr.

If you think Nintendo will do that, make sure you copy all your saves first.

So Ike's standard B move is a charged up flaming version of Marth's sword attack. The same one that once belonged to Roy...

Guess that means he's cut. Too bad.

I dunno... Roy's standard B is a bit different from Marth's. When it's fully charged, it can be an insta-kill attack, but it also does 10% damage to Roy. You could say that it's a double-edged sword. Heheh.

They could always give Roy a different moveset... though I agree, Roy is likely to be cut. Marth appeared in two games, whereas Roy only appeared to promote an upcoming Fire Emblem game iirc. It's a pity, I liked playing as Roy.

Post by: The Chef on August 07, 2007, 05:18:53 PM
It won't matter anway, since Marth himself will likely play differently than Melee, as all the other characters are supposedly given a "different flavor" this time around.

Not ALL. "A LOT" here (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/bowser.html) is probably an exaggeration.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Mr. Wiggles on August 07, 2007, 06:26:43 PM
...and by different flavor, they probably mean tweaking some physics around and giving them finishing moves, as well as changing the movesets for clones. It makes sense for guys like Falco and Ganondorf, though if the kept Dr. Mario and Pichu, I can't see how different they can make them.

I am kind of worried that there is still no word on Jigglypuff, Captain Falcon, Ness and Luigi though.

I have ANGST over the Wii update this morning. Oddly enough, I seem to have some updates but not others. I have everything but the News, Forecast, and Shop Channel updates. And whenever I try to update again, I get a messages saying it won't work due to an internet error or something, even though my connection is fine. I really don't want to have to send my Wii to Nintendo again. :(

I noticed that after I got a poem from Lizard Dude, the disc slot had a different flashing pattern. Rather than pulsating twice, the slot got bright for a second, blinked twice in succession, and went back to its normal dim blue light.

This really isn't ANGST, but this occured after I updated my Wii. What can count as ANGST is that it sometimes shows the moon icon for the weather in the middle of the day. Annoys me a little.

I have ANGST about piracy. More precisely, I have ANGST about the Max Media Dock's inability to work well with pirates. You have to go through a long, annoying process to make it so that it'll run DS ROMs, and there are still quite a few games that don't work with either version of the method. Also, I apparently suck at the method, as the only game I've ever gotten working by doing it myself is The New Zealand Story Revolution (the best game in the "<insert Taito classic> Revolution" series, unless there's Arkanoid and/or Qix and I don't know about it/them).

Also, my second CT is hilarious, even if multiple people have it (I guess that's the part to be angsty about in this edit).

I am extremely angry (not angst this time, real anger) because while chaining Ralts again in Pearl, I finally saw the shiny grass patch. Thinking that my search was finally over, I went into it...

Shiny Bidoof.

This is not supposed to happen. Because from what I read, the shiny patch is always supposed to have a shiny of whatever you were chaining. And I was clearly chaining Ralts, not Bidoof.

All of the theatres were sold out of Rush Hour 3 tickets, so we had to go to one of the most expensive theatres in the city. The tickets were $10.50 until we said we were students, and then it was $9.00. That's still expensive. I was so desperate.

Well, one thing that makes mad right now is the fact that while Peach was seen in last week's Subspace Emissary video, there was no profile of her. And i was expecting her profile this week, but sadly, her profile wasn't there at all. That type of teasing is making me mad to the bone. I can't stand the wait for Peach's profile. I'm so desperate to see her new look on the Smash Bros. Dojo website that i'll do anything to get it. Anything!!

Well, I've been planning on going to the bank since before my aunt's wedding, and I must say that luck is not with me right now. I tried to go to the bank yesterday, but there were several police cars in the parking lot. It looked like they had the area roped off or something, and there was guy with a megaphone, but since I decided to keep driving on when I saw the police cars, I couldn't hear what he was saying anyway.

Then I decided I would go after work, but mother nature had other plans for me today. No, today I got to experience what it's like to have a virus that makes your colon somewhat schizophrenic. I was at work, minding my own business when it first hit me, but it just made my stomach growl, so I ignored it. Then, I walked in the door of my apartment two hours later and was gathering things up for a shower when it hit me again. I spent over an hour in the bathroom, feeling my stomach act like it was hungry (though I knew it wasn't).

I haven't had anything to eat since breakfast this morning and I'm probably going to call in for tomorrow. I am also on a strict liquid only diet for the next 24 hours or so.

I will now demonstrate a post I think is perfect for here: a post I only need to type, not discuss.
This SuperCard I got is a real pain. It has this weird saving system, so I have to turn off my GBA and restart it, select saver and save my .sav in twenty seconds or less, or it doesn't register the save. If it doesn't find anything to save, it deletes everything! I blew up my incredible FireRed team before knowing this, deleted it AGAIN (I was only on Route Four though...), traded my Blaziken from Ruby to an Emerald file before I knew about the freaky saves, cloning a Wurmple or something and deleting it, leaving nothing of use on my Ruby game... except a Light Ball.
I am so not using it for normal play. Visual Boy Advance is dependable enough, so long as I don't use those wretched savestates. I was set back about twenty levels with a savestate... I prefer traditional saving. Plus, you can use the emulator to play at double speed. The whole reason I bought the SuperCard was to enable trading. At first glance, that's NOT something I ought to do with people I know. I'd be deleting their preciouses. But, I could trade with worthless junk in Ruby, just in case the SuperCard's saving deal fails me, and then save between Ruby and whatever. It'll take me a while to get that far, though. I could get insanely far in one day with double speed, but school starts after a series of days in which playing all day will not be possible.
Thankfully my LeafGreen team was spared. It's pretty good, all around level 40... but I don't like what's in it as much as what was in my FireRed team.

Dear Ford Truck Battery,

Thank you for breaking down last Monday (Aug. 13, 2007), my first day off after 4 solid days of 10 hour shifts. I would not have enjoyed my Monday otherwise, as I was forced to shell out 135.05 to get you repaired. The best part of our day was the time you magically came alive, allowing me to drive you to the mechanical shop, only to pull a fast one on me and stop working while we were there! Man, that was such a funny joke. I will never forget you, Ford Truck Battery, and though the mechanic will most likely resell you because you, with all your jokes, decided to pretend you were dead, I will never forget the 4 years we have spent together, from the first time I turned you on to the last time you stopped working, 20 minutes before I needed to go to work. I'll miss you, and I hope that whatever owner you go to will treat you with the same love I did.

Your poor, sad, and did I mention poor? previous owner,

Super-Jesse

Funny, I'd be quite happy if he was a playable character.

The constant complaining here about Nintendo's Mario characters from the late days of the N64 onward gives me ANGST.

Yesterday, a little dazed with excitement, we (my dad and I) pulled into the guitar shop's parking lot, only to have the guy I gave my guitar to to give to the other guy to install come out shaking his head. I learned that he apparently underestimated the height of the button and had it up too high, so he has to rewire it and he'll bring it back to me tomorrow (AKA today). Well, I had just gotten my new cell phone a matter of minutes ago, so I was too excited to be all that disappointed.

Well, today finally comes, and I'm in luck, as the day will seem to go quicker due to chapel interrupting the eight periods of pure insanity. And I would even get to play in the middle school chapel (not high school :/), so that in itself was pretty cool. Well, the day finally ends, and after waiting an hour for my ride, I head home and get most of my homework done, eat, and then literally squeal in excitement to the sound of the car going down the road to the guitar shop. We pull up and exit the vehicle and stroll on in.

"Your guitar is not here."

Well, my spirits reached their peak and stayed teetering off the edge. The guy tells me that now something else has gone wrong: the momentary switch I gave the guy to install actually does the opposite of a killswitch: it powers on the guitar when the button is pushed in instead of off. I just kind of say ok and nod my head, and not until I reach the car do my spirits utterly drop down past zero. And that's about where I am right now, even though I shouldn't be so excited about a killswitch. Oh well.

I have not read behind Bird's bar. I highly suspect that is says something like, "Lizard Dude will start saying how hot it is in Montana (and cold) and call everyone temperature n00bs" because, yes, that's what I usually do in the chatroom.

My teachers decided to hold the daily meeting today (instead of yesterday, because it was Labor Day) and now I have to go in tomorrow. This seriously sucked. All of the aides got up extra early to come there and they were waiting. They made a phone call and found out that the teachers weren't to be there that day unless they wanted to (which they didn't). How inconsiderate.

One of the neighbors in the area helped us out until her husband and the guy that fixed my truck showed up, and obivously we got out ok..

It wasn't being late to the class after lunch, it was being late to the class after the class after the class after lunch, because after lunch, I had band, then gym (which the band room is next to), then science (which required me to get to my locker, which was on the opposite side of the school to all of those classes). My solution was to bring my stuff for science to lunch with me, and just bring it with me to the other two classes, leaving it in my gym locker for that class.

To say I am extremely disappointed with Lyn being reduced to a mere assist trophy would be an gross understatement.

I had my hopes up when I saw her name in today's update, but the lack of the Challenger Appears banner, the fact that her legs have shrunk, and the words guest appearance completely shot down my hopes. She would've made a great replacement for Marth, and could've helped with the male/female ratio in the game.

I guess this also kills any chance that Ephraim and Eirika may have been playable, which means only PoR/GoD characters will be. I'm not too keen on using Ike, or any of the other lords from those two games.

I hope they use one Lord from each game in the series as an AT. At least the representation will be equal.

Equal representation doesn't mean jack in Super Smash Bros. The Mario side of things always seems to outnumber any other franchise, and the only other franchises that got more than two representatives are the Zelda series and the Pokemon series.

There's also the fact that they took a supporting character from F-Zero, and a main character from Fire Emblem and left them as Assist Trophies. Two perfect opportunities to add depth to the roster and they were wasted.

So today, after school, some idiot decided to go "car surfing" with his buddies in the parking lot.

The rumors about what happened afterward vary somewhat, but here't the gist of it:

He (had a seizure/fell off/got hit by a car), hit the ground, busted his head open, was pronounced dead for five minutes, then was somehow revived and now resides in the hospital.

The fire truck and ambulances were there shortly afterward. News crews remained throughout the rest of the afternoon.

Moral of the story: Please don't be stupid, and if it's too late for that, don't let it rub off on someone else.

I have ANGST because I'm trying to install Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 on my computer to run Windows 98 from inside XP, yet it doesn't work. It tells me that an unexpected error has occured and for me to report the error to Microsoft (yet it doesn't actually tell me what the error is) or, if I switch the compatibility mode to Windows 2000 it tells me to install MSXML4, which I have done with no effect on the program's performance (or rather, lack of it). I'm at my wits end trying to run 98 on this computer... I can't dual boot, as my hard-drive is purely NTFS; I can't emulate it, as all of the methods I've tried either don't work or involve me ordering software from the other side of the world; and I can't use another computer, as all of the other computers have NTFS except an ancient laptop I have stored in my wardrobe that can barely run Windows 3.1. If someone could please help me to install Windows 98 on my computer, I would be thankful and therefore not angsty. :)

Post by: Super-Jesse on September 13, 2007, 10:17:07 PM
I have to get this out, so I apologize now if it's long...

I hate that I come here, and it feels like I'm helpless. I hate that I cannot do anything at all to contribute to TMk because of something another person did to me. I feel bad that I have put all you viewers and staff at an inconvinence, and it kills me to not post anything. I see something, I want to come here and write a news article or a blog, and other priorities don't allow me to concentrate enough to do so. At work, everything is managed to the point that I'm surprised I can even come here and post what I'm posting now. It's like everything is against me doing what I love to do, and there's nothing I can do to change that- for now.

I don't know if many, or any, of you understand the deep passion I have for journalism. I started in the online business in 2002 and never looked back since. I went from being a regular news poster to becoming a webmaster of my own semi-popular website that took me to places I never imagined. Eventually, I moved onto a more mainstream venture, and finally I broke back into Nintendo's world when TMK contacted me. This was perfect for me. As you all should know (and if you don't simply go to youtube.com/superjessemario to find out) I love all things Mario. Mario games have been my comfort in times of trial, where my happiness is tested, and usually that's what keeps me sane. However, my current situation has even pushed that one solace aside, and has also taken away my chance to express that passion, something I was enjoying doing on TMK.

it's frustrating. I've never been in a situation where I've been so limited, yet so helpless. I know it seems like I'm overstating my point, but I really do miss coming on here, seeing all this work I wanted to do, and then doing it only to find something else I wanted to do. If it was up to me, I'd tell Deezer to show me everything about this site so I could do everything on this site with ease, but now...That won't be possible. I'm not saying that I'm gone for good (and you know I will never do or say such a thing), but even being gone these few weeks has really hurt me.

I hope this serves as a warning to young lovers, to make sure they know what they want out of life before they try and take a bite of it, because if you do not know, and you jump the gun, you may just end up like me.

In the end, I will prevail, but the battle is so hard sometimes, I just wonder to myself if I'll still care at that end.

Rant over.

I don't think it's because they pwn her hard in Melee. Unless she knows some sadistically good person who only plays Climbers, there's no reason they in particular would beat her more than anyone else.

She is surely bugged by something like their beady little eyes and omnipresent giant grins, or maybe their shrill childish voices, or maybe the annoying move combo of the sliding icicles and the ability to freeze.

First of all, there's TWO of them and then every time they jump, it makes that little sound. They have that crazy grin that's just creepy and I don't like to play as them because it's weird to me. Their eyes are big and they're feet are, too, and then they're really stubby and I don't want to hit them because they look like two little lost kids! They seem like some kind of evil dolls.

Why am I afraid to shine, afraid to show people that I am good at doing things other than playing games? I am behind in my school work again, and this is the term that matters because I am in danger of being dismissed from school.

I have no idea why, and I asked my mom about it. She said that I've always done this to myself: been afraid to do well, and show my teachers that I can do well. It's the same reason that I have yet to scan in and post some of my work here: I am afraid of what people will think of me.

I get a little embarrassed being the center of attention, and yet had no problem performing for on stage in front of my peers (especially during my senior year of high school, when I won an award) or marching in the marching band.

Why oh why can't I get over this mental block? Part of it I know is laziness, because I know I am just a tad lazy, but the rest is the whole being afraid thing.

Do I need a psychiatrist, or some other form of doctor that helps with cases like this?

So I am driving my van, with my father, brother, sister, and sister's boyfriend. I got a good station on the radio to keep me relaxed and focused as I drive us home. WBAB 102.3, Long Island's #1 Rock Station. My sister though doesn't like the station when everyone else finds it much better than the crap she likes to listen to.

What does she do? She gets out her cell phone, and starts blasting the music she's got on it from the phone's speaker, with constant threats to "change the station to BLI." WBLI 106.1, Long Island's #1 (my butt) Hit Music Station. I merely respond to this by turning up the volume of the radio so I don't have to hear her stupid "Umbrella" song, though it didn't help much.

"I thought you hated black people." I said, sourly.
"I DO, retard." She replied.
"Then why are you listening to their music?" I asked, putting her in a slight paradox. She didn't reply, and continued blasting her stupid music.

So my racist sister is never tagging along when I go for a drive anymore. Ever.

There are two problems here...

1. Why is your sister racist? Racism seems so utterly pointless. They're skin colors, people, whoopdeedoo.

2. Don't call rap and hip-hop "Black people's music." It's like the same as calling rock and roll "White people's music." People don't have to be a certain color to enjoy music. Just because the demographic of African-American's listen to rap and hip-hop (that is horrible and I completely do stand against it in musical and moral values) doesn't mean it's that person's music.

3. Yes, SolidShroom is right. The driver is the one who controls the radio. You should have just pulled the car over and took her cell phone. The driver is basically a father/mother to everyone else in the car.

Just because the majority of mainstream rap and hip hop that you hear has immoral lyrics and themes doesn't mean that the genre and style is inherently immoral.

I freaking' hate politics, both Right and Left. I'd rant and rave about how both sides really suck, but...oh who cares. Here's my two-cents.


The Right sucks because they're a bunch of ignorant, close-minded individuals who believe that rap, homosexuals and environmentalists are more evil than this stupid a** war we've been fighting over in Iraq. They also believe that establishing democracy in a country that totally rejects the idea is more important than real problems like global warming. They also refuse to use an alternate fuel source (hey, there's some dude using french-fry grease to power his car, yet we're still using ozone layer destroying gas).

The Left sucks because they support crap like abortion, think that everyone who isn't a liberal is an idiot and that guns are more dangerous than nuclear-wielding Iran. Not to mention they're a bunch of whimps who care more about gaining the votes of the senior citizens than meeting the needs of the future adults, just for extra votes come election time. They also refuse to let us oil in Alaska, yet expect us to bargain with oil-junkies like Hugo Chavez. (Yes, I know oil sucks, but I'm more or less arguing against compromise with Chavez).

There was a time where a was a hard-core conservative. There was a time where I was a flaming liberal. But not anymore. Both just...really suck. But I don't really have much of a choice; it's either right or left.

But seriously, mainstream pop/rock/rap/hip-hop sucks and there's nothing we can do. People like to pour crap in their ears in the form of sound waves, and theres nothing we can do except listen to good music, make it, and tell other people to shut up about their crappy music. Also, let's not start a political debate here.

Some catchy beats are thrown down and I really appreciate that. It's also very depressing how many people confine themselves solely into the most unoriginal music choices ever, classic rock. At least modern "pop" stations change their playlist once in awhile.

I guess that's sorta true, just like driving in your car listening to the pop radio station is like taking a lunch break and eating the fruity yogurt that everyone else is eating.

And it's not like I don't eat Doritos and cake at my desk sometimes too.

I never said that station I was listening to was "Classic Rock". Just "Rock". Plays all types of rock music, new and old, but usually not rock that can be heard in top 40 stations.

"Classic Rock" is a different genre than rock. And pretty much all the rap I hear is what my cousin listens to, and I don't like it.

I've always preffered classic hip-hop (80s) to today's tuneless crap. Just because you can groan the same phrases over and over again to a grating beat doesn't mean you're a rapper, nor does teaming up with Britney Spears or Justin Timberlake or what have you.

Just because the majority of mainstream rap and hip hop that you hear has immoral lyrics and themes doesn't mean that the genre and style is inherently immoral.

Also could you let up on the Ignorant Right-Wing Bumpkin image for a little bit? It's making me, as a fellow Ohioan, look bad.

I'm sorry it didn't stand out, but I thought that when I said that rap isn't black people's music meant that I don't think all rap is about sex and drugs.

And I'm not the one who is ignorant. I laugh at you.

Post by: WarpRattler on September 19, 2007, 09:45:13 AM
What did you do?
It's not what I did. It's what the rest of my siblings didn't do, and me getting punished because it's supposedly my fault that they didn't do it (despite the fact that I've already explained to my parents why it isn't my fault). It's not my fault that they don't listen to anyone that isn't our parents (and heck, they don't even listen to them most of the time). Apparently the "being grounded from TV" part only applies to the TV in my room, so if I cared about it, or didn't have stuff to read, I could watch stuff in the living room.

Also, I have to rewrite one of my articles for this month's school paper, because for some reason, whenever I try to view it on any computer except my own, it's formatted in a different language. Said article has a link to the FF in it (remember that long post I made in HOPEFUL that should've been its own thread?).

Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: PaperLuigi on September 20, 2007, 09:29:54 PM
Some say never. Others say immediately.

Personally, I don't have a say in the matter since I'm not a woman. Though I've seen some of the pictures the doctors take after an abortion. It's pretty disgusting and kinda sad. I've never liked the idea of "kill some to save others" but the argument is that the fetus is never really alive. To Christians, the soul is inside the baby immediately and killing it means the end of it's soul. To atheists/others, the fetus has no soul and we could use the aborted fetus to save the lives of people. It is a pretty tricky subject...it all comes down to what your beliefs are.

I feel sorry for the women that have to deal with this. :(

Abortion is such a huge frigging difficult issue because of how confusing and hard to decide it is. I mean, there are more important matters, yet many people vote solely on the issue of abortion. It doesn't make much sense anyway, because if we had a pro-choice president, I'm sure all of the Christian and other pro-life interest groups would make sure that abortion doesn't grow.

As for my stance on abortion, I'm at the same place as Bird Person. I mean these babies aren't really babies if they're only a bunch of cells. Plus, they are technically part of a woman's body, entitling her to its fate. Of course, that's not such a great argument--if I sliced off my arm, I'm sure I would have violated the law somewhere. And in response to the need of abortions, they're usually needed by careless teenagers who are too irresponsible to practice safe sex or abstinence and stuff. Honestly, there's a point where people can just stop the need for most abortions without even talking about them. Of course, rape victims should have the right to abort babies early on, considering they had no choice in the matter.

Finally though, what ever happened to adoption?

I agree with the careless teenagers statement.  I mean, they're just like "ooh, let's have sex."  Awhile later, they find out they're pregnant..."omg, I don't need this!"  It just takes common sense not to have sex with every person you see.  I'm still a virgin, and I'm proud of it.  And I know some lady is going to be very happy when I tell her I've saved myself for our marriage.

In my religion, it says that the fetus grows a soul at 120 days so it's against my religion for a woman to have an abortion after 120 days. It's also against my religion for a woman to have an abortion to control how many children she has or if she commits zina (Arabic word for sex before marriage). An abortion is only allowed in Islam is a woman is going to die if she has the baby or if she has been raped.

Well, it turns out I'm sick with some sort of fever, and it's been this way since the beginning of the weekend. I'm really hoping I get better before tomorrow, I don't want to miss any days of school. I hate having to catch up.

Sounds like you guys are in that transitional period between school being extremely easy and incredibly hard. Having a sick day during this time period for me meant one of two things: either to miss one day and hopefully miss nothing, or go to school sick and tough it out (don't forget that suffering builds character!)

On a similar note, I have related ANGST: I'm supposed to be writing a paper right now instead of being on this website. I have ANGST because I can't seem to control my impulse to have fun over my impulse to do work. As explained before, if I fail this term, I could very likely be kicked out of college, but I don't want that to happen, so I'm going to see if I can get off of here and do some work..

I'm not stupid or anything, and I get all the work that I'm supposed to do, it's just a matter of getting it done on time (which means writing this paper before midnight tonight, or 1 AM central time).

EDIT: update; I have completed one major assignment (the one for the class that I have taken 3 times now!) Now to tackle that research paper (I have the info, I just need to write type it..)

NSider was pathetic (I'm sure you'd agree). I stopped posting there not long after December.
There has been some hilarious times there late at night on the Power On board though, like a Plumber doing account suicide, which, at the time, I couldn't believe. Then there's RawkHawk and ShadowMario(I forgot the numbers), who, through PM, kept me updated on his alternate account and how he got banned. Great times.

I agree, but it's so funny to see people get all stuck up. Especially the spammers who want a high post count.

This is how every board is filled:

Comics
Fan-Fics
Games
Spam

Good to Bad Topics Ratio: 5:100.

Meh, NSider was cool. I even submitted a good rant on the quality of that forum, and then this idiot goes on saying that I'm saying the obvious.

I will admit, as much as I hated Cena as a Superface champion, I didn't want him to fall prey to the injury bug, and I wanted to see him lose the title to whoever they planned to push to the moon. Now we're pretty much guaranteed either a boring HHH title reign or the Era of Chinlocks finally begins.

Then again they might just give someone a chance to shine like they did with Johnny Nitro. Or they could pull off something even worse than Khali's title reign.

<BriGuy92> So I resolder it, and plug it back into the PC.
<BriGuy92> And up pops the little bubble thingy saying "Device not recognized".
<BriGuy92> I got mad.
<BriGuy92> I tried resoldering all the wires, and it still wouldn't work.

If someone was parked in my personal parking place I wouldn't want them booted there. 

That price seems high to me, but I know prices vary by location.  Was the spot marked or in an obvious place like a driveway?

a) it was a parking lot in front of an apartment complex. Apparantly you need a permit to park there but there was no warning sign at all for this lot. There was one in an adjacent lot, but not this one/
b) there were several spots remaining in said lot, it's not like I was taking up space that a resident needed. There was, however, 0 space in the street where visitors normally park. At all.
c) Typical campus parking ticket cost = $20-$35.
d) I have parked in this lot numerous times before without being towed.
e) There were several (i.e., at least half a dozen) cop cars parked in the lot next to the towing company. POLICE EXTORTION RING? OH NO I'M SURE THIS ISN'T THE CASE I'M JUST PARANOID I MEAN THERE'S NO WAY THE POLICE FORCE GETS A CUT OF THIS
f) When I was picking the car up, there was an Asian girl there (who didn't speak English horribly well) who messed up her car rather bad (it was a ~$3k car, no collision insurance, probably not totaled but repairs would be very expensive). They managed to convince her to give them the title of the car in excahnge for towing fees. I'm 100% sure that the salvage value of the car >>>> the cost for the company to tow it.

Conclusion: The towing company is a legitimate, perfectly honorable business that has no hand in overpricing their "serivces" to screw over college students and over people with no power to fight them.

Conclusion II: I would not be able to say the above sentence with a straight face in person.

I mean, I can get back $140 from poker on a good day, it's just that I had much much better uses for that money and I didn't have a particularly good week to begin with. (The weekend, though, went quite well. :D )

I have ANSGT because something just dawned on me: Cloverfield will most likely not be as awesome as I have hoped. I mean, over the months I've been imagining an awesome horror/disaster epic with the raddest monster ever, and while it will probably be just that, I know I'll end up feeling like a kid the day after getting the last of my Christmas presents. Also, I get the feeling it will go the path of Snakes on a Plane: it did poorly because no one actually wanted to see it, just make jokes about it.

Now that I think of it, I'll bet it'll be the same case with Duke Nukem Forever. Now I'm depressed.

No.

It's bad enough I have to hear HADOUKEN! Every 5 seconds while playing Street fighter. Plus, he seems almost too much like a fighting character for SSBB. Also, he's a 2-D character, and this is a 3-D game. Mega Man would be a pretty neat character though.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Chupperson Weird on October 10, 2007, 11:38:25 PM
I would definitely not mind hearing Hadokens being executed all the time. But Mega Man is much more suited to Smash Bros. (Or is he? Shoryuken would be a great double jump. Ah well, Mega Man can Shoryuken too.)
Anyway, I don't know how Ryu is a staple to the genre, considering 80% of fighting games don't contain him.

He's faced Marvel Comics characters, a roster of SNK's character's, and a couple of Namco's character's, and look at any other fighting game. 9 out of 10 times you will see some character heavily inspired by Ryu. He may not physically be in every fighting game, but Capcom obviously set the standards years before any other company did.

Man do I hate handicaps (in bowling). Sure, it was a good thing when our team sucked, but we're much better than when we started two or three years ago. Today we were up against a team of younger kids and their handicap was ridiculous. Our total scratch (pins we actually hit) was five below their handicap. So their handicap was around 1025 (I don't know the exact numbers, but our total scratch was good), and our total handicap wasn't far below their total scratch. Without handicaps we would have won by about 400 pins. So our team is in second to last place... because we're good.

Anyway, with the Twilight Princess thing: I think that they could have added some kind of reward after beating the game, like a hard mode or something, maybe without the cut scenes (which, for me, discouraged replay value), cause I beat that game in like, two weeks and was a bit disappointed with the easiness of it. Or they could have made it a bit harder, like Ocarina of Time (which, IMO, was the perfect balance of difficulty, freeroaming, story, and minigames). I, sadly, have not beat that game (OoT) yet.

I'm kind of worried about a few of the forumers here. They're acting as if Brawl will be the best thing to ever occur in their lives, and that nothing this good will ever come to them again, so they can just go end their lives once they complete the game.

It's just a friggin' video game.

Sure it'll be awesome, but, um, yeah, you guys ever leave your house for stuff besides school and getting video games? If you're in high school, this is kinda supposed to be a magical time in your life that should be lived to its fullest. Go out and see the real world, it won't bite if you're careful.

The ceiling in my living room is (or maybe was; I don't know if it's been fixed yet) falling down. I had to completely unplug my computer, move it into another room, and move the desk so that the ceiling can be fixed sometime today. I'm going to have to move the desk back, set my computer back up, and write as good of a review of Phoenix Wright 3 as I possibly can when I get home.

After seeing a few of my posts, I have come to the conclusion that I am extremely illiterate (like George Dubya). It really bothers me and it’s quite embarrassing when other members point it out (this is nothing against any members here, it's just kinda embarrassing).  I’ll have to watch myself from now on so that I don’t mess up, however. And that’s why I have ANGST. :(

Right now I have ANGST because of "Wow Brian ur so dumb you play old games" Certain people just never seem to be able to leave me alone whenever I experience an old game for the first time. Like, for example, F-Zero GX, which I just bought yesterday. Just because I play games months, even years after everyone else doesn't make me evil or unclean, people.

No, Chup, I wasn't specifically talking about you, even though I didn't appreciate the comment.

My fiancee's  eldest sister (and her daughter) have moved in with us temporarily. Her sister is breaking up with her boyfriend/fiancee of several years.

I'm not going to go into extreme details (mostly because I don't know but just a bit), but it's not so much that she's there, it's just that it's cutting into my fiancee and I's already limited time together. Her sister and I have always gotten along, and her daughter is well behaved for the most part (kids will be kids..), so everybody getting along is not an issue.

I have angst because the already limited time my fiancee and I have together has become moreso limited.

I don't get it. It's not fair. No matter how much I practice, no matter how late I stay up on a school night, no matter how many cans of Full Throttle I consume, I cannot beat any song on Hard in Guitar Hero II. It defies all logic. I rock on Medium, and I can usually get upwards of four stars on most songs in GH1 on Hard, but I suck on even the easiest songs in GH2. Even worse, I get all paranoid when I'm on a caffeine high.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm getting tired of the sarcasm here(yeah, it ain't nothing new, but who cares, I'm gonna rant about it anyway). If anyone has anything to say, they should just say it without acting like a jerk. NE89 said one of the reasons he left was because there's a huge chance of being criticized or shot down here for simple comments or even intelligent conversation. I totally see where he's coming from, because just now, one of my comments was met with sarcasm when there was no need for it. Absolutely no need whatsoever, but as usual, this member did it anyway. I know in life there are people who are nice, and people who aren't, but.....Is it really that hard to be nice to someone? Is it really? People make a lot more friends in real life by being nice than being sarcastic. I know my rant right now will probably go unnoticed, but a wise man once said "Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it," so I ask you, forum members. Do we really want to see another good member go just because we can't try to be nice? Politeness is worth so much, but costs so little.

This doesn't have to be a difficult thing. Being polite without rude sarcasm costs so little and means a lot to the people around you. I am very frustrated that NE89 left because we all feel so high and mighty that we feel the need to be sarcastic. It may be fun to us, but it isn't fun for the person it's directed at.

Ah-ha, so I'm not the only one.

I was well aware that my rant on the last page wouldn't do much of anything, but at least I'm glad I threw it out there. It never really hit me until someone important left because of sarcasm/rude comments. In a way, I am happy NE89 left because it gave me the opportunity to bring this to attention. Trust me, if it was a new person leaving only after 3 weeks of stay, no one would have cared and things would have continued the way they are now.

I'm not talking about the sarcasm that is funny to both parties (the sender and receiver). You know, the kind two buddies share to just laugh at each other. I'm talking about the sarcasm that only benefits one party (most certainly the sender). Usually that type of sarcasm is rude and unnecessary, and I'm very, VERY sure many of the lower members here (you know who you are) have had it used against them in one form or another. It's the kind of sarcasm that made NE89 leave.

Remember when Max proposed for a new Fungi Forums? We all agreed because it benefited the entire site and it's members. Well, I'm proposing something else, something that could benefit regulars and new members alike, and I hope I'll get at least some of the respect Max got when he said the board needed change. How about we try being a little bit nicer. Just try. I'm not asking to change anything else but the way you speak to people. Even if you hate them deep down inside, try and be nice. Even to new members who drive you crazy with internet talk and an infinite barrage of topics. Just try, and maybe we could all learn to get along better.

How nice do you want us to be? There's almost absolutely no drama or flamefests here, and very rarely is there a problem that divides the userbase between one line.

I agree that we should probably tone down on the sarcasm, but that decision's in the hands of the user, not the entire community.

Maybe you don't see it because it hasn't happened to you yet. I'm not asking that we be sunshine happy all the time, just tone down the rude comments and the sarcasm. I know it's the user's choice to be nice or rude, but it doesn't seem like anyone really wants to change the way they approach other members. If you want me to show you some examples of unnecessary rudeness, I'll be glad to do it, though I can't promise everyone's gonna be happy about it.

I just came from an argument with my dad.

He complains that I don't do my fair share around the household. But I told him that I do it in my school work, which keeps piling high. He's always complaining how he never has time to do anything, and it's the same situation for me. I'm at school from 8AM-3PM, don't get home until 5 PM, and I do homework for at least two hours, lately three or four. That means it's between 8-10 PM when I can actually do something (hour for dinner), and he expects me to then waste my only free time on the weekend (which is sometimes clogged up with more homework) to do six loads of laundry when they do not need to be immediately done. I told him I'd get them done, and I honestly was going to get them done after guitar lessons (which I should be at right now, but I canceled due to this argument), but he supposedly wanted them started while he was at work. Does it even freakin' matter when they're done? Honestly, I'm trying to secure my earthly future here, and he's worried about something that doesn't even need to be done immediately. But, of course, he's the parent, so he doesn't need a reason for everything he does or says.

I'm tired of him. I really am. If I only had a better place to go besides my grandmother's house. Until I'm 18 I'm stuck here with a hypocritical tyrant that is trying to drag me into his depression.

Yesterday morning, my Internet connection shut down for 24 hours because a download caused us to go over the daily limit. My connection sucks...but at least the downtime gave me some time to play StepMania and StarCraft (not at the same time, though...I wonder if I could get my dad to let me use the laptop...). The sad thing is that though I was able to pause the download before it messed us up any more (it was still puttering along at 2kb a second)...it has 2.9MB left (out of 1234.3). Fortunately, I should be able to resume the download after school today.

Okay, I'm really annoyed. I wasn't able to finish the download, which means I wasted a whole day of Internet usability to put a 1.2GB chunk of useless data onto my hard drive.

The cap is worse than you think. Most of that data was downloaded during the hours of 3 and 6 in the morning, when HughesNet ignores the 375MB cap. I had to use that same chunk of time once before to download the MapleStory installer, but that download at least managed to finish with no problems.

I have minor angst because my fiancee and I bought a washer and dryer set from Home Depot, and when the delivery/installation guys came, they discovered that the dryer was damaged. The frame where the door sits in the dryer had a dent in it, and there was something else wrong too (but I can't remember what it was.. cursed absentminded-ness).

They were extremely nice guys, so I don't think it was them who managed to damage the dryer, but now Nikki and I have to do laundry that's been piling up over the weekend at our parents' because we still dont' have our own washer/dryer set.

This brings me to another statement of utmost angst, one which has simmered inside me for some time but was brought to a full broil by the comparitive mediocrity of Phantom Hourglass. I'm just going to get it all off of my chest now so that I'll feel better and never have to bring it up with such severity again.

Am I the only one who thinks it's an incredibly bad sign that the brains behind Twilight Princess--basically the best videogame ever--have publicly lamented how it turned out? And then they spin around and act like Zelda's newest DS offering--statistically the lowest-scored official LoZ game in recent times--is some sort of godsend? I can tolerate a pithy timewaster like Flash Focus or Wii Fit here and there when it's handled properly, but I really don't know if I want to be part of the Nintendo future I'm seeing now: Namely, one where what used to be just a "game" (say, Super Paper Mario) is now considered hardcore in light of all the empty, so-so installments that surround it. I just feel insulted that Nintendo's new "games for everyone" philosophy comes across as viewing what was once an average gamer like myself as some pesty, obsessed hanger-on from the last generation whom they must occasionally sate with proverbial dogbones in the form of half-arsed sequels and the occasional--*gasp*--actually good game. I can cut the Wii some slack for still being the new kid on the block, but the DS has been on the scene for four years, and even after beating games like Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time and The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, I still feel that their GBA ancestors had more substance (seriously, can those carts hold more than a DS card? Or is it the two screens and touch control that eat up all the extra space). If my favorite franchises are going to turn into Brain Age with swords and jumping, go ahead, Nintendo, and cater to rest-home residents and housewives, because I've just about had it.
And one last note: Innovative controls can be fun, but that's no excuse for a lack of depth (i.e. PH's bland dungeons, sucky music, and near-zilch plot). I feel like in ten years, we're gonna reach the point where you can beat all Nintendo games in two hours without losing once, but since you control everything with your left kneecap, it's magically game of the year material.

The recent questioning of Nintendo's games is giving me ANGST. I'm tired of both the "Wii's games have sucked this year" (which ISN'T true, in my opinion) and the "Nintendo's been sucking in recent times and is only digging deeper into their hole".

I feel as if some people have registered here merely to complain about Nintendo's recent performance (Mario Maniac, anyone?). If you don't like Nintendo's games anymore, just stop playing them. Go find a different console (that's what my brother did two console generations ago, and he doesn't complain). Or, OR, get this, go outside and find interesting things in the real world.

It's not hard. It'd probably keep some of your money in your pocket too, which you can save for better stuff (things BETTER than video games? GASP!), like a day out with your friends.

"Vid, are you even a gamer?"

Yes, I like video games. They've given me countless hours of entertainment on a rainy day, or when nothing was on TV. But I also have a life. Not a bad thing to have, really. They're easy to create, too.

I no longer have Pokémon Diamond, thanks to a jerk that rides my bus that took the game out of my backpack and destroyed it. If, against all odds, the system works for me and he's somehow forced to pay me back for it, I'm buying a new SLOT-2 device to replace the piece of crap that is the MMD (are there any other ones that use a CF card?) so that I don't have to keep restarting Etrian Odyssey.

Totally. That's another thing I don't get: Not only are PiT and LoZPH way punier than SS and LoZMC, but they've only got two save files. I mean, I never use the third one--and I always thought three was an odd (no pun intended) number--but it feels unsettling when they're gone. Heck, I'd take GBA-sized cards if it means I'll actually enjoy myself.
This brings me to what I think is really the salt in the wound when it comes to the DS (and to some extent, the Wii): It launched with SM64DS, which--remake though it was--had stunning graphics and all the content of its source--and then some. Now, it's been nearly three years, and nothing else has even come close in scope, like Nintendo wanted to mock their fans before opening the floodgates for low-budget BS. Now, like I said before, don't get me wrong--I've got no problem with simple games; I just can't tolerate it when that wimpiness leaks out of the case of Nintendogs (Dauchsund and Friends) and seeps into that new copy of Phantom Hourglass on the shelf below.
My suggestion, Nintendo? Just make some sort of separate console for the baby boomers and yuppies who don't have time to play something worth buying--think of it as videogame training wheels. I used to say it was dumb for Nintendo to claim that the DS wasn't the new Game Boy. Now, I hope they were telling the truth. In the end, it's just classic greedy laziness: Why make good, involved games for people who are devoted to thinking and appreciating a well-thought-out title and make money when you can release a dozen flops targeted towards people who'll never play them--and (somehow) make just as much? It's laziness fueling laziness, and get used to it, folks, because you just don't matter as much to Nintendo anymore.

I stopped caring about what Chup had to say about me a long time ago.

Anyway, here's an ANGST post that people might deem OKAY for this thread (even though the first post says we can complain about anything) and will probably get people off my back:

I get to world 9 after about 30-40 attempts of World 8 SMB2J on my Wii VC. I get there, with one life. Get the nice fancy ending, and everything.

Then I die in World 9-1. I can't play world 9 again (at least not until I clear the first 8 again).

...........!!!!!!!!!

Unless that "return to the world you last left off on" trick works in this game, which I assume it does not.

EDIT: Apparently, you're only given 1 life to begin with when you're in world 9.

Yes, they did remake old games with excessive 1ups, but at least the games that were original were incredibly awesome. And just out of curiousity, what in the world do you suggest they should've remade besides every 2D console Mario, the DKC trilogy and Link to the Past? SMRPG? Not with only A and B!
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: BP on October 31, 2007, 08:57:15 AM
SMRPG totally would have worked without X and Y. It would be less cool, but you could select your battle command with a list. It would still be SMRPG. SMW more actively used Y and pulled off a playable GBA port.
There might be another SNES RPG that got ported in Japan and never released here...

Honestly, at this point, I think they should just put all three of the games in that series on a single DS card and release it in the US, especially since they're putting a character from one of the Japan-only ones in Brawl as a playable character.

They could, easily. It's just a NES game, an SNES game, and a GBA game - all 2D.

Heck, to put it in perspective, didn't the Castlevania Double Pack put two GBA games on one GBA cartridge?

(Or were there two cartridges in there? I never really figured it out.)

I actually like PH despite its shortness and only having two save files.  The only similarity to MM that I wanted it to have was being a somewhat direct sequel to an earlier Zelda title.

The one thing I didn't like about TP was that it tried too hard to be OoT.

I'm tired with how some people automatically think Melee whenever the first Smash Bros. is mentioned. (You say SSB and they automatically think Melee)

Look closely SSB.  Do you see a 'M' at the end of that abbreviation? NO!  'SSB' refers to the first Smash Brothers game Don't refer to it as 'Melee'
SSBM     THERE's your 'M'  THIS is the abbreviation for Super Smash Brothers Melee
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: BP on November 01, 2007, 05:53:43 PM
In general, when a not-so-serious gamer says "Let's play Smash Bros." they mean Melee. EVERYONE. Has played Melee. But, when you want to shorten it and you know the subtitle exists, you say, "Let's play Melee."

I have ANGST because of a certain situation that occured in between classes today.

I was sitting at one of the tables eating my lunch with a couple of people I had met when I started going to the gaming area of the building two months ago, enjoying random conversation with them. A girl joined us at the table shortly after I finished lunch, and was also a fun person to talk with. We both joked, and constantly repeated "NOM NOM NOM"1 and the girl who was already sitting down joined in.

Then another girl joined us at the table. By this time, the guy who was sitting with us had to leave, and the girl who came and sat with us was engaging in conversation with someone close at another table. The girl who had just joined us basically shot down anything I wanted to say, and generally made me feel unwelcome at the table, and even went so far as claiming people at the table were making fun of me, when I had been there the entire time and was quite aware that they were not.

Weird thing is, she was fairly nice the first few times I met her, and even hugged me once when I pointed out in front of her that I liked hugs.

Next time this situation occurs, I will point this out and politely ask her to stop, instead of just getting quiet for the rest of my duration in the building, as I have done the many times in the past when a similar situation has occured.

So it's not Nintendo developing Galaxy. They didn't develop any games in the Metroid Prime series and they're all awesome games.

Nintendo didn't develop Yoshi's Island DS and that game's pretty great too.

Stop knocking the third parties, they can make awesome games too. Just because they don't have the name Nintendo doesn't mean they're terrible at making games.

I have angst because my school's bus drivers apparently reviewed the student handbook, and starting on Tuesday, students will no longer be allowed to use electronics on the bus. I still need to talk to my bus driver about this, because I spend a total of about an hour on the bus every day, and I use that time to play games that I review for my school's newspaper. I get a grade in English for writing these reviews, and if I don't have time to play the game and write a review, that's a huge number of points monthly I can't get. I'm not going to have time at home to play them for much longer, either, because of homework, chores, band, driving (50 hours, ten of which have to be at night, before I can get my license), and (eventually) a job, so I have to be able to use this time on the bus, and console games are pretty much out of the question (though I don't really play anything other than my PC and my DS nowadays). This also means I won't have as much time to spend in #tmk...but I digress. This sudden change means I also won't be able to listen to my MP3 player on the bus, which means that for an hour, I have to listen to the kids from the grade school screaming, and the other high schoolers (who won't be able to listen to their music either) yapping about stupid stuff.

Quote from: wikipedia
Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development (or EAD; formerly Research & Development Team 4) is the largest division inside Nintendo. Famed developer Shigeru Miyamoto serves as the head of the EAD studios and is credited as producer for each game released from EAD, with varying degrees of involvement. EAD is best-known for their work on games in the Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Pikmin, and Donkey Kong franchises. In 2004 Nintendo underwent a corporate restructuring, in which Nintendo Research and Development 1 and Nintendo Research & Development 2 were merged under the EAD banner.

I really really hope that Ness hasn't been left out of Brawl. I'm also kinda sick of people saying that just because Lucas is in the game and has basically the same moves as Ness, and because Ness hasn't been mentioned yet, means he's not going to be in the game. If Ness is indeed gone, though, I guess I must hold true to my promise.

Lucas was actually supposed to replace Ness in SSBM. Will he be replaced now?

Oh, poop.

I was going to try out the online part of LoZ:PH, so I decided to check out Nintendo's website on how to set up my Wi-fi USB connector (since it's been a long time). I was looking through their FAQ, and discovered that they discontinued the Wi-Fi USB connector. Now I'm going have to buy a Wireless router. My question is: why? The USB connector was so easy: just install the CD, plug in the connector, and register you're system. Isn't easy installation Nintendo's goal? Not to mention I'll have to buy a wireless router first.

Is it still possible to use the USB connector? Has Nintendo made any plans to bring it back? Or is all hope lost for it and I'll have to go the way of a Wireless router?

My brother's room is connected to mine. This means he has to enter my room to get into his.

This means zero privacy for me. My brother has come quite close to leaving his room to find me changing my clothes over the years. I wish, if we're still living here for a few more years, that another door to his room would be created in the stairway corridor so he wouldn't have to breach my privacy.

It's also because of this I have no lock on my door. My door is also one of those old-fashioned doors that have a top and bottom portion to it that are separable, so one could easily peek between them to see what I'm doing. Sometimes, while I'm sleeping and my brother is awake, He likes to leave his room and go downstairs, and leave my door open (I prefer it closed most of the time) I awake to find my door wide open so I could hear everything going on downstairs to wake me up, blasting TV, parents arguing, etc. and I'd hate getting out of bed just to close it and return to sleeping (that and I don't wear much so someone could see me in what I'd rather people in my family NOT see me in).


EDIT: Post-script: It's even more annoying when my brother leaves the door to HIS room open as well, when he's in it. This further lowers whatever privacy I DO have.

Okay. This has really been ticking me off for a few days now. It seems like everyone has a Wii and won't talk about anything except that. Seeing as I'm always poor, I can't get one and I'm being alienated as a result.

And my boyfriend has be absolutely horrible. He got a Wii from his mother as a birthday present and won't talk to me anymore. The only thing I can get out of him on AIM are links to 4chan threads (most of which are about the Wii and infuriates me further) and the only response I got about the picture that I drew for him is an overused cake joke. But we all know that expensive presents are much better than hand-made ones, so why did I even bother?

And now I haven't been able to fall asleep for two nights now...

Well, my computer really sucks butt. Like seriously. I can't do anything.  It shuts off unexpectedly. Digital phone is also a hassle. Our internet likes to go on and off for long periods of time. That means we can't use the phone for that period of time. It sucks...badly.

I have semi-ANGST because my girlfriend keeps doing air guitar and mouthing the riffs to songs (usually "Sabotage", for some reason) to mock me. The thing is, she's better than me at it. I mean, she's better at sports, reading in public, and now air guitar?

Post by: megamush on November 18, 2007, 11:44:20 AM
About 4 or 5 months ago, on campus, there was a random "feminist" (I use this term very loosely, because most feminists push for REAL equality, not "unfair compensation advntages") march that got disguised as a protest against domestic abuse. A good cause, if it weren't instead a lame male-bashing fest. I was walking to the building on campus with the ITG machine in it, and this group (about 50-60 or so) happened to be marching past the same location in the opposite direction. Long story short, one of the people in that group, whom I've never met before in my life, tells me I'm a rapist by default. You know, that 2nd X chromosome gives you the ability to know more things about other people than they know about themselves, that's for sure, because I don't remember ever raping anyone. Even metaphorically. I just ignored it at the time, then went into the nearest building and punched out a trash can in frustration.

I've had similar experiences with a couple "choice" employees at my summer lifeguarding job. One specific example was, during a storm, one of the employees (who was about 18 at the time) was bragging about how she would always sneak into bars with her older sister's (the manager at the time) ID. And the bouncer didn't care, because "all men are stupid." Normally I'd lash out with a diatribe, but I wanted to see where this was going. She then proceeded to brag about how she "never bought a drink in her life" because she was moderately attractive and "men are stupid." I heard enough and went off about how I'm not stupid and how SHE'S the stupid one for breaking the law to leech a couple drinks and that I'd NEVER buy her a drink on merits of aesthetics alone because I am not attracted to the physical beauty of women, in general. She then proceeds to tell me that I'm "no different than anyone else" and that I'd buy her and everyone who leeched off me drinks in a second. One constant with women who think they're better than me by default is that they all think they know me better than I know myself. This basically turned into a unintelligible shoutfest after that.

For the record, I doubt I'm even hitting bars when I'm 21. For one, I'm probably not attractive enough to get past the bouncers. And even if I did, I certainly wouldn't be buying random people drinks, because they're the kinds of people I have no interest in getting to know better anyways.

In conclusion, there's really two kinds of people in this world I can never get along with: People who overgeneralize others, and people who give the people who overgeneralize others a foundation for overgeneralizing others. Reverse sexists are just one specific example of this. Condescending religious nuts are another I mentioned... I guess someone like Jack Thompson falls into yet another category... Jesse Jackson (Everyone's racist against blacks. Even other blacks.) is yet another... The list is so long it would be a waste of time to type further.

On another note, a LOT of today's commercials anger me. They're either incredibly stupid, incredibly insulting (see above: a current trend is the "men are stupid" form of advertising that seems to reach out to the ever-increasing population of jilted single mothers), or just flat out annoying. Then again, I notice this trend with a lot of new movies, TV shows, "music" "artists", etc. Pop culture is just going completely down the toilet nowadays.

Come to think of it, MaxVance's assessment is looking rather accurate.

Pt_Peach brought up a topic that triggered a rant. Hear me out.

I hate the fact that they wait this long to show students the effects of drugs. They should terrify the kids with pictures of smokers' lungs and other pictures of drug abusers' mangled insides when they're still in the first grade, and every year following. All they ever told me about drugs until the seventh grade was that they're bad for you. But so is candy, according to mommy--drugs must be fantastic!! I mean, by the time they explain it all, one has already either become the kind of person with friends who would try drugs and would use peer pressure to spread it, or has their head on straight and their friends do too (or one could have no friends, which can go either way). I fortunately got good friends and we all steer clear of drugs. Could be that I live so far from town. Could be that I wasn't neglected by my parents. Could be chance. But to be on the safe side I'm showing my kids in the future disgusting pictures of drug effects every "red ribbon week." There's nothing scary about the pictures, because it doesn't have to happen to you unless you want it to.

I have the same opinion too.

Sorry for all the angst, but the middle school I go to is a good generator of angst.

Bid Person's rant reminded me of something I have ANGST about.

Take a look around your school. Notice anyone who shouldn't be there? You may be wondering why a cop is standing over by the administration office. Well, he’s there for a reason, and it’s because the school is afraid that there’s a psychopath within the walls, ready to shoot up the students and staff at any given moment. Now some schools may not have a cop, and if you don’t, you better pray that no one decides to go crazy. The fact of the matter is, we wouldn’t have to have cops if schools weren’t afraid of students going nuts and blowing everyone away. Why do some students choose to shoot other students? Is it it because their home life is horrible? Not likely. It’s probably because there are other students, who most of us call bullies, who push them around and make them feel like garbage. This brings me to another point I have to make, which may or may not make you angry, depending on where you stand on this issue. Why do people bully? To make themselves feel good? Partially, but would they feel it necessary to even attempt this if the school system was strict in enforcing the rules? Maybe, if they were taught at a young age that bullying/fighting is wrong, with more than just the crappy “okay boys, don’t bully each other and I won’t through you into detention.” That kind of crap only encourages bullying, since the perpetrators know they’re getting out of doing something bad for a few lousy minutes in a nice, quite room where they’ll have to miss going out with their girlfriend for half an hour. That just doesn’t cut it. Your parents and grandparents will tell you that back in their day, if they did something wrong, they were met with a 4X6 paddle with holes cut in it for extra speed. If we had that kind of punishment today, kids would know that if you did something wrong, you’d be punished severly, and would not be encouraged to hurt someone else for your own gain for fear of getting paddled. But we don’t have that today, do we? Why? Perhaps it’s because a few whinny parents and individuals thought it was “unfair” to punish children in this manner. You know what’s really unfair? Sending my kid to a school that could be locked down at any given moment because there’s a student inside with a gun, who was bullied all his life. And this is all because the other students weren’t taught at a young age not to bully through harsh punishment. You may say that the old ways don’t work, that our parents had it all wrong and that we should go about doing it the way we are now. I want you to think for a second and tell me how many kids shot up schools back in the 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, 60’s and 70's. You can probably only count about 3. After the 1970’s, the number of student shootings in the US become increasing difficult to count on your two hands alone. You’d probably need someone else’s hands to help out. But do we even pay attention to that nowadays? No, we just continue to go about out lives and dissmiss bullying as child’s play, waiting for the day when some tortured student comes into the facility and starts picking off innocent lives. I say we should go back to the old ways, where we taught our kids at a young age to respect each other through harsh punishment rather than the crummy peaceful and lazy way of just sitting them down in detention. It’s not about being “fair” to our students, it’s about saving the good and innocent students from another Columbine. I felt like I had to share this with you guys because I’m tired of hyper-hippies telling me that kids are just “playing around” and that punishing them “is not fair” when it’s obvious that the system now is not working. And that my friends, is my ANGST.

Feh. What about bully parents? I know to avoid trouble (especially since my sisters never did and were constantly getting thrown in jail), yet my father beat me into the ground all the time. He even did it for some of the stupidest reasons like...say...he missed an episode of Spongebob freaking Squarepants. It eventually got to the point where I had no choice but to leave all my belongings behind and run away to live with my mother in order to save myself.

If your parents beat you, are you more likely to shoot up the school or your parents? What I said was that if kids were taught never to bully in school through harsh punishment, then chances are the student being bullied wouldn't have a reason to come to the school and shoot innocent students. My argument had absolutely nothing to do with child abuse. It's a totally different subject.

My point was that it's not fair that I have to suffer because of stuff that I had absolutely nothing to do with. Heck, the only reason my father even kept me at his house was so he could make money from child support. The lazy slob. I hate him with every inch of my body...

You have no idea how long I've been waiting for someone else to say something like that.  When we wimped out on punishment, we opened the floodgates, because kids don't see the consequences of their actions.  When I was a kid, I did some bad things, and I paid for each one with a few slaps across the behind.  You remember a thing like that.  It's easy to forget what you did when you're sitting in a quiet room.  In my opinion, spanking is not barbaric, it toughens kids up, and serves as a painful reminder of a dirty deed.

It's better than the crap that we're using now. Putting troublemakers in detention doesn't even compare to a few spanks on the behind with a 4X6. People are far too wimpy nowadays to stand up to troublemakers. School shootings increased from about 2 or 3 in the 1950-1970's to about 50 in 1980-present when we stopped the punishment and took....dare I say it, the Bible out of schools. Don't believe me? Look it up and count 'em here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_related_attacks). Most of the school shootings are in the US. I know I said being nice to people is the way to go, but when people don't want to listen, and the result is a school shooting, sometimes the best way to do is to teach our kids that violence itself will be met with serious consequences. That's how it is in real life, so why should we do it any differently in school?

What Inquisition schools were your family members taught at?  No one I've ever spoken to has had something like a 4x6 paddle used against them.  I've only ever heard of a ruler across the hands.

Please don't blame violence on the lack of violence, or on the Bible being removed.  It's the "Do as I say, not as I do" rule, which is stupid.  As for the Bible...it's a book.  It doesn't have the power to keep people from committing acts of violence.  It can influence people, yes, but there are so many holes in the idea that just because the Bible is no longer in schools there is more violence that it cannot be held valid.

Spanking/paddling, in my opinion, isn't very violent at all. Because I was never spanked in Elementary school, I used to pick on kids based on their appearance. It wasn't until Middle school, where I received the same treatment I gave out as a little kid, that I learned that picking on others was wrong. Sometimes it takes a taste of your own medicine to teach rather than just let the kids do what they want without punishment, and that's why I believe strict enforcement of rules is important.

Post by: CoconutMikeNIke on November 20, 2007, 04:05:42 PM
But your saying that the only way to punish is to beat the child, so that they don't do the same thing.  That may work, but what about the child's children?  If they are taught to not hit, how do they keep their kids from being violent?  Not by hitting them, since they would be against that, so what's left?  Where as if they're taught to be non-violent by non-violent means, then when they have to do the same thing with their kids, they don't have to be a contradiction.  Now, I don't know what the best method of getting that point across is;  It changes for each child, each parent.  But I will say that violence isn't the answer, even if it's meant in the best way.

No, that just means you're ignorant.
I suppose you're not quite as disturbing as the "Christians" who advocate whipping infants, but seriously... hitting your children with things is a ridiculous idea. "Strict enforcement" can be accomplished quite adequately without resorting to violence.

I was hit for being naughty, usually by my mother, during my pre-school days. After that, the hitting from them mysteriously stopped. Somehow they learned that hitting didn't really have any effect on me, positive or negative.

I recall one day that I won't ever forget, a day when my grandparents babysat us one summer. They were getting annoyed with my sister and I, for whatever reason that makes little children annoying. This was the only time my grandfather (who passed away a little over a month ago) had raised his voice at my sister and I. Of course this just made us egg him on. He hit us, and we claimed that it didn't really hurt at all. Then, he said this which will never leave my head:

"It doesn't hurt? I'LL MAKE IT HURT!"

He hit us again, considerably harder this time.

When mom learned of this when she got home, she scolded him, and told him that neither she nor our father believed in spanking us. They pretty much stopped babysitting us after that, and my mother opted for a girl who lived down the street whose younger brother was coincidentally friends with my older brother.

So does spanking really help? From my experience, not really. Then again, besides those mentioned times, I was usually well behaved.

No, that just means you're ignorant.
See, this is why I hate debating here. Instead of providing evidence and facts, people resort to name calling. Really, do you know for a fact that I'm ignorant? Do you? You're basing this statement on one subject you disagree with me on.

I'd also like to here about this "adequate solution" that can enforce the rules. All I know is the way things are going now are not working, yet the things we did in the past were much better. How many school shootings will it take before we finally do something more about the bullies, other then putting them in detention? Spanking and paddling seemed to work well in the past (there were only like 2 school shootings before they stopped the spanking in school) but we've stopped doing both of them now, and the bullies are getting let off easy. They in turn go out and bully some more, which in turn leads to a tortured student shooting up the school. Look at the VT shooter and Columbine shooters. All 3 of them were outcasts and picked on by bullies, all because the school let it happen. I could go on and on about this.

Also, I never said "beat the child". I said paddling/spanking in school is the best way to handle a bully or an irresponsible child. You people totally blew it way out of proportion. The freaking' subject wasn't even about parents and beating their children for gosh sakes! It was about schools and their approach to handling bullies, which in turn leads to school shootings.

This is something I feel strong about, and I'm open to debate at all times. When people start calling me ignorant because they disagree, in addition to manipulating what I said, I feel as if it's more like mudslinging than actual debating.

Hold it, you're the one who used the quote, "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind," for a sig. Violence as punishment is an eye for an eye.

School shootings happen when an unfortunate kid is not only tormented by bullies but also has parents who don't care. I don't think I'd be able to get away with a revenge plot like a suicide shooting without my parents noticing, and they've always loved me enough for me to not turn evil-emo to begin with. I just have great parents.

I agree that schools do sucky jobs at carrying out punishment, however. The problem is that grades don't matter to the rule-breakers.Forcing detention is nearly impossible--when detention is issued to an entire class because the teacher is too lazy to pick out those who deserve it/is too scared to do so, the responsible ones who don't deserve it will show up, not wanting further punishment, and those who did deserve detention won't. Calling parents probably won't help, since either their parents won't care or the student won't care what their parents say anyway.

So the only solution is to just wait, that bully will grow up to be a ruffian and wind up in prison.

I know. I also said if more people listened (mainly bullies) then there would be no need for violence/spankings/whatever. Besides, spankings and paddling aren't even that violent.

I appreciate the argument that BP presents. He didn't call me ignorant, nor did he manipulate what I said. It's much more fun and easier to debate without mudslinging.

It is true that parents play a key role in upbringing their kids, but if school was a better place, would they find in necessary to shoot it up? Eliminating the bully factor is something we need to focus on.

I can honestly say I'm an advocate of using quick slaps to teach a kid a lesson. I remember when I was young and I acted up my parents would give me a quick slap for being disrespectful or purposely going against their rules. It wasn't just me either, all of my siblings have gone through this. Mind you this was always a last resort type of thing so I would never consider it child abuse.

Enlighten me as to how using a weapon on a child, even for positive intentions, is not beating.  Where's the line between punishment and abuse?  And I realize the topic was about school discipline, but to mention children's behavior and not expect it move onto the parents is ignoring part of the situation.  There would be less bullies if it were taken care of at home. 

Also, would you use the same tactics in higher education levels?  Young children are one thing, spanking is generally a minor issue with young children, but after a certain age, it would seem like that would cause more mental trauma than solve any bullying issues.


Oh, and TEM, I ran into the same problem around here.  I went to 4 stores looking for Link's Crossbow Training, and not until the last one did anyone know what it was, and the last one didn't have it.

Look at it this way. If you behave and respect your fellow student, you won't have to get spanked! Spanking is not abuse. I was spanked at home (not at school, mind you) and I never thought that it was abusive. Abuse is when a drunk beats his kid without mercy daily. Getting spanked on the butt after you've done something wrong isn't abusive.

Oh, it isn't ignorant not to know that you aren't supposed to pick on kids because of how they look? (Or any reason really)

I was a dumb kid, and if I was spanked everytime when I made fun of someone, I think things would have been better. Instead, I was made fun of for my looks in middle school, and in my personal opinion, it shaped me into who I am today. It gave me a taste of what others had to deal with when I made fun of them, and now I know that bullying is wrong. Since most bullies don't get that treatment, I believe it's up to the school to do something more than just let them off with a 30 minute trip to detention, or a call home.

I have the same opinion too.

Also I have angst.  In my language arts class we are reading very old books like Frankenstein and The Island of Doctor Morreau.  I don't like old books because I can never tell what's going on in them!  I also hate the locker room in my PE class because of all the noise and cussing.  I also hate cussing.  In my opinion it is entirely unnecessary and doesn't make you cool at all.  I also hate how the term gay dosn't even mean if a guy likes another guy it just means dumb of stupid.

Sorry for all the angst, but the middle school I go to is a good generator of angst.
Agreed thoroughly.

What good does corporal punishment do? Fear? That's right, control people with fear. It works for church and state... Anyway, well, just be glad you don't go to school in Japan... loads of kids in the 90's got killed by teachers at those schools!
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: PaperLuigi on November 20, 2007, 10:52:38 PM
It isn't fear, it's the right thing. Punishing a bully with a few spanks on the butt is not abusive, nor is it "controlling". Believe it or not, Japan and the US are two totally different things. I do know that there is a limit to how far you should go with a bully and his punishment. To me, spanking isn't that bad, but it reminds him of what will happen if he hurts another person. In Japan, it's quite  possible that they went beyond that (waits for an angry mob to attack him for being politically incorrect). I look at the facts for our country, not some other country who doesn't share much in common with us. The facts say, for our country, that when we stopped spanking/paddling in the 1980's, school shootings went up. Like, way up. From about 2 to nearly 50. Not all of them ended in a mass killing, but a lot of them did, and that's what I aim to prevent.


I think people may be forgetting that my point isn't about teaching people not to shoot through spanking. My point is that by punishing a bully through spanking, we can stop him from hurting another student, who will in turn come to the school and kill innocent lives because his school did nothing to punish/stop the bully.

If you want to see true abuse, take a trip down to a drunk's apartment and watch him beat his son daily, even when the son hasn’t done anything wrong. Using a paddle to spank is not abuse, and it doesn't have to happen to a student who just behaves. I know most of you have never had to be sent to detention for something you did wrong (bullying, calling names, etc.) but to those of you who have, did you really learn anything? Could you honestly say you'd do it again if you were spanked on the behind? Probably not, unless you're the kind that likes to be spanked.

How is it not fear? Negative reinforcement is nothing but fear. Getting smacked hurts. Humans fear pain.
Also, continual what the heck at paddle speak.

I can guarantee that there is no logical correlation between spanking and shooting. Or bullying. Or any negative reinforcement and the behavior it tries to get rid of. Because people's minds actually don't work that way. Full Metal Jacket comes to mind.

It's all well and good you can say that, but I'd like to see some proof. I can at least say that after 1980, when most schools stopped spanking because they were afraid they might offend parents, school shootings went way up.

How is it not fear? Negative reinforcement is nothing but fear. Getting smacked hurts. Humans fear pain.

A human also feels fear when a bully picks on him, if you've ever been picked on before.

The list bellow has the number of school shootings/extreme violence in 1990-2005. But the years before that (basically the 1940-1970's) are missing. There were only about 2 school shootings before then, and 1980 was about the year when they stopped punishing bullies. I really wish we lived in a time where we inforced the rules with spanking. I guarantee that none of us would be complaining about how "unfair" it is. We'd tell our kids about how it kept bullies from hurting other students. I know my parents and teachers have told me about it many times.

I like how PaperLuigi keeps telling us in every post that before the 1980s, there have only been about two school shootings.

We learned this in your first post, you don't need to tell us over and over again. You're basically restating your arguments in all of your posts. Chup's name calling is bad, yes, but repeating things to us as if we're slow-witted people with the attention span of a 5 year old with A.D.D. is even more annoying, in my opinion.

I have jokingly stated in the past that the spanking in school rule should be reinforced whenever some student drives me crazy, but ultimately I don't think it should happen, because it doesn't work. Most bullies, in my opinion, are lost causes. if they won't learn for themselves to change their ways, they'll never learn, period. It's just like back last March when we told CTOAN not to bully that flamboyant child. He got all mad at us because we sided with the kid he was bullying and kept telling us we couldn't change him (he was right on that point, he has to learn that for himself). Look at how that ended here.

We could sympathize with the people who caused the Columbine and VT massacres, yes, but there are TONS of other, more rational ways to deal with bullying and venting anger besides coming to school with firearms and explosives. Teachers CAN and usually do enforce suspension and expulsion in cases where students have been traumatized to a certain point, I know this, because it has happened with people that were in my class back in middle school. Kid was sent to juvenile hall for brutally hurting another student. We never saw the guy again.

A smack on the cheek, wrist, or butt won't enforce anything, though. Forced enrollment of problem students to military schools and the like MIGHT work, but that might be a little too extreme, in my opinion. I DID like BP's idea of scaring children good and early when it came to smoking, I think it could also be used for bullying, show progressive images of children who were bullies in school who turned into thugs and gangsters who broke the law and ended up imprisoned.

In maximum and medium-security prisons, Most only carry two channels, one of them being a religious one so inmates can still practice. The other channel, I believe, is a closed-cicuit channel which plays...something, it's been awhile since I learned about prisons in Criminal Justice class in high school.

Minimum security prisons are only for people who aren't a physical threat to society who have committed white-collar crimes. Some of them are almost resort-like in outward appearance, so I'd assume they DO have color televisions with cable or satellite. My second cousin (my father's cousin) was sent to one of these a few years back and was released, something about a company he worked for being in an Enron-like scandal.

Trust me, I probably would've learned that last year if that was true. The only prisons that could possibly have luxuries like internet and satellite TV are minimum-security prisons, and those don't contain people who have committed stuff like murder. My father's cousin wasn't really a bad man, I'd say he was just caught in the wrong place in the wrong time, and according to my father who visited him, they treated him quite nicely in the minimum-security prison he had to be in for 3-5 years (I forget how long he was sentenced there).

Prisons might have overcrowing, but I don't believe they're becoming more lenient.

I think prisons that reward good behavior are better than prisons that just have inmates stagnate and do nothing to help their criminal-ness. I mean, if I went to prison for, say, murder, and I were in pretty crappy conditions, I'd try and be as good as possible to earn privleges like TV, books, video games, not getting raped, whatever. I mean, this would probably only work for minimum-security prisons and not for murderers, but it makes sense to me.

It looks awesome (http://wheresdezzer.googlepages.com/ghia-front.jpg), but it doesn't have cruise control, a cooler, a dashboard, airbags, much room in the back, button-activated locks or windows, and it's stick. All it has going for it is its retro l33thood and its somewhat good gas mileage (and a Honda Civic would have better). So I'll probably end up having to sell it and get a newer car. I want a dashboard for those Mario figurines coming out in '08, and my friends want me to have comfortable seats in the back as I'll be the first to have a license and therefore the first to make it to the one-year mark... but I wish I could take the interior of my mom's car and encase it in the Ghia's exterior, and have that refurbished.

Fortunately, I already have my permit, so that change doesn't affect me, but I still can't get my license after three months, because for some reason, my mom won't let me drive so that I can get the 50 hours required, and my dad isn't able to let me drive, because the only vehicle we actually own is my mom's (or something like that).

I learned to get over the fact that many students start doing drugs in high school. Many of the students in my 7th grade class started taking up smoking and cutting class in high school, and as a result they're still students there or dropped out, while I'm getting higher education in college. I used to be appalled, but saw that most of the students smoking were the bad ones, so I stopped caring.

But there is a certain building at my college that students LOVE to light up in front of, for some reason.

I have angst because I suffer from migraines: headaches that are extremely painful. I only know that they are migraines because I went to the doctor long ago and he told that's what they were.

No amount of pain medicine has halped me, and they are getting progressivley worse: it used to be that when I got a migraine, all I had to do was take a shower and go lie down, sleeping for 12 hours or more, but within the last year and a half to two years, not only do I get migraines, I also throw up.

It started out just a migraine and being sick once, but the last migraine I had, I was sick 3 times. It doesn't seem to matter whether I eat the night before I think I'm going to get a migraine, or whether or not I take medicine, nothing seems to stop the migraine and the sickness from coming.

Thankfully, it only lasts one day and only seems to happen whenever the weather is about to turn bad. My mom used to call me her little barometer, because I would be sick, and then several days later, there would be a bad thunderstorm, so she knew to get ready for it.

I've often compared myself to Psyduck (the migraine Pokemon) and Harry Potter (he got sick when sharing visions with Voldemort), because the migraines make me feel like that.

The ANGST thread and the HOPEFUL thread are probably two of the greatest threads ever created.  You can talk complain/be happy about anything you want to in them.

I also have ANGST because it seems as if tho Nintendo can't drive Sony and Microsoft out of the business like they did with Sega.  Sony and Microsoft are such big corporations that they'll always have money to fund their video games just by selling their other products.

Why would you want that to happen?  Competition is good.  If those companies hadn't helped put Nintendo where they were last generation, Nintendo likely wouldn't have come up with DS and Wii.  Nintendo is a big corporation too and is even worth more than Sony.  When Nintendo was leading in the 80s/90s, they did a lot of bad stuff to try to monopolize the industry.

Had there been a catergory for that, I would have won it in my senior year of high school.

I have angst because I want to play Mario Galaxy, but have no time becuase I already need to start getting ready for tomorrow: I have to be at work at 5AM (when BK opens). I hate opening, because I am like a slug in the mornings (read: slow) and things that take other people around 15 minutes take me upto 20 or more.

I don't mind coming in an hour or so later because all the things I would be slow at are done already by that point.

Wait, lemme rephrase that.  I think there's a leak in the roof of my house that's directly over my room.  As of right now, I don't see any kind of water damage, but I'm about to go tell my parents, let them know that there's something else falling apart in the house.  While there is no damage, there is a very annoying dripping noise right over my head while I work at my desk.  Which is unfortunate to a degree I can't express.

I have ANGST because people complain about school.

I like school, and Melee says there's something wrong with me for liking school, for some very odd reason.

You learn stuff in school. That stuff can help you in the future. I like learning this stuff. Just because it's kind of forced on you shouldn't make you go "I don't wanna do this, I hate this".

It also helps the day go by quicker. Because everyone's been down that "I'M SO BORED" road during the summer, and the day goes by slowly and you have nothing to do.

And for people who live in stretched out areas like I do, it's kind of hard to see friends. The only place I could really see friends until I got my driver's license was in school.

Also, many of your teachers try to make learning more fun for you. When you're in high school and college this holds true, though there are teachers like that present in middle school too.

Extra-curricular activities can also help you from going insane, and actually give you an academic boost, and allow you to look forward to the more fun parts of your day.

I'd say the only things I truly disliked about school was phys. ed., and the fact that most of the students were mean to me in middle school. That's it. I still enjoyed learning and the extra-curricular activity I took.

High school was 4 enjoyable years of my life, and I'm enjoying college very much, as well.

You also kind of have to like what you're doing in college, or else you won't be able to handle it much, in my opinion. Many students dropped out of the FRESHMAN level classes I'm in because they couldn't handle it.

I hate Hot Topic because it fuels the whole "80s were so great" mentality that is carried around by 30 year old internet nerds and scene kids who think Care Bears are cool despite never living in that era or even watching the show. VH1 is also guilty of this.

Of course, I'd completely disregard that if they suddenly started selling shirts with Super NES or N64 era stuff, or anything that was from the 90s that didn't suck.

Speaking of Care Bears, that's something that fills me with ANGST. I'm really beginning to hate what Play Along Toys or whoever has the rights to them are doing. It's bad enough that they made "new" bears that basically serve the same purpose as one of the old ones (for example, Do-Your-Best Bear tells us to do our best, but Champ Bear already does that!), but they were redesigned fairly recently and now they look horrible!

You can easily ignore what you stand for for a minute or two. When you walk out, you can go back to hating the store.

But in the same vein as you, I don't think Abercrombie and Fitch is a good store. Just walking into one of those makes my skin crawl. I am pretty sure the atmosphere in there is caustic.

I've been in a Hot Topic before, and I don't really mind it, though I've never purchased anything from there.

Ya, going to the requisite Hot Topic in any mall my girlfriend and I go to and not buying anything has become almost a tradition. Well, except for last time when she bought a shirt. The other tradition is noticably running away from the requisite Abercrombie. I don't know, any store where you're greeting by a 10x12 foot picture of a shirtless guy with unrealistic muscles kind of scares me.

Actually the two stores I hate are Kohl's and JC Penney. Both due to childhood memories of being stuck in those stores for far too long.

Anyways, right now I have ANGST about job hunting. It seems that qualifications only get you pre-selected for interviews. Actually getting a job offer? That takes either internal connections or the ability to build rapport with the interviewer, neither of which I'm good at at all. The result is dozens of rejection e-mails, letters, and at least one voice mail. Don't get me started on the rhetoric of rejection letters; they are sooooo fake and insincerely flattering and dfkjasifowehjghsdkjvnzxvbsidlugkjeshdfviousdhvjbnsdjfkgds

Has anyone managed to beat Metroid Prime 3 on Hyper Mode difficulty? I was trying to beat the last boss(es) today, and I was pretty much wiped out. It is extremely aggravating, fighting one boss for a half hour, only to be terminally corrupted.

Volbound's kinda like Eric Cartman. When he does something wrong, everyone gets on him for it. He leaves and comes back trying to act nice, but still blaims the people who told him he was wrong for stuff that they didn't even do (flaming his ideas). Then when all else fails, he starts calling everyone names. Totally reminds me of the Casa Bonita episode of South Park.

Six and a half years ago, I entered the eighth grade. I had one crush for a while, which is another story, but by about four years ago, I settled on another, much better girl. We ended up going to the same college, and I finally worked up the courage to ask her out, about a year ago, to a dance. Turns out she had already made plans to go, with her boyfriend. Her boyfriend whom she met no more than three months ago. Now, they're still together, and her boyfriend is my RA.

But that's just the background frustration. The main issue is my own room. For the last month or two, I had really been looking forward to next semester, as my roommate was planning to transfer after this one. It's nothing against him... okay, a few things, but the main thing is just that I think I would be a lot more productive without roommates. No, we don't have constant parties, rather, I simply don't do anything. It's just this weird thing I have that I can't get any work done with a roommate around. Admittedly, my laziness comes into play significantly, but I think what's more prevalent is the knowledge and/or misguided notion that anything noticeable I do will lead a roommate to make some comment or query, and I will be forced, by the universe's laws of awkwardness, to respond meaningfully, taking away vital thought processes. Also, more often than not, I know/misguidedly believe that said comment will have at least some measure of condescension (typically more toward the activity than toward me, but I identify with my activities enough to take offense either way). And so I always opt for sitting at my laptop, which looks normal/consistent enough to avoid eliciting any remarks most of the time. I'm not really anti-social, just jaded.

Well anyway, it turns out that my roommate is staying here another semester. And the semester after that, when he does leave, is the semester that I'm living on a different campus. So I don't even get a shot at a room to myself until a year from now, when I'll be halfway through my junior year and too stressed out about the fact that I have no marketable job skills to pay off my $72,000 debt to enjoy the single that I may or may not have. Oh, and did I mention that another guy on the floor wants to move into our room next semester? Never mind that we tried having three roommates at the beginning of this semester, up until we realized that the majority of the extra room space required for a room to be a triple apparently went to having a really high ceiling, and the guy moved out.

So this means no wall for my posters (the wall I get is mostly taken up by the bunk bed, and if we move that, there's no floor), no anytime showers (I'm still uncomfortable with nudity), no getting the slightly better wired internet connection (Last year, the wi-fi was good enough to share it with the Nintendo WFC adapter, which is good, because the internet connection here requires an actual computer. On this floor, however, there apparently are far fewer hotspots, and they sometimes appear to turn them all off at night. The wired connection is a little better, but my roommate's computer can't do wi-fi, so either I continue using this connection, or one of us pays $50 for some kind of solution that neither of us will ever use again. This means it will take significantly longer for my torrents of every MST3K episode to finish.), no doing whatever I want with the TV (because I'm not assertive enough to not feel awkward), no having the temperature where I want it (he apparently needs it where it is for medical reasons), no not using headphones (even if I could make myself realize he doesn't mind, I don't want him to hear some of the stuff I'm listening to, especially if it will elicit remarks that oblige in-depth responses), no filming myself reenacting the cutscenes from Sonic Adventure 2 like I had planned, and basically, nowhere in the entire state (I live in a different state) where I can go for privacy (don't pervertedly misconstrue that).

And there was something else, but I forgot it. So yeah. Angst. I has it.

I don't understand this. Since my glasses prescription is changing, we went today to get my eyes checked, which includes dilating them with little drops. Now, my mom, the glasses place, and everyone I know knows I have an intense fear of anything going in or near my eye, be it contacts, drops of liquid, fingers, probes, whatever. I mean, I have to stop myself from breaking into tears when I get my eyes checked, and by the end I'm sweating cold sweat and shaking. And yet my mom keeps trying to make me feel guilty by telling me I'll get Glaucoma if my eyes aren't checked to prevent it (it runs in my family), even though it has no negative effect on her at all. *sigh*

This portion of Glorb's post means he probably has a phobia of things going near his eyes. I'm sure tons of people share the same phobia, and I bet there are adults among them.

You don't have to laugh at him for something he can't help. If he does have a phobia, it's not his fault. If he doesn't, no big deal. But it's still rude of you. You can find stuff funny, but you can't laugh AT him for it.

I was surprised to see a post like that coming from someone like you, Vid.
See it's posts like these directed at me that makes me want to leave more and more. They also give me ANGST, which is fitting for this thread.

Have I not said in the past that text shows no emotion? I DID NOT mean to hurt Glorb in any way. I thought what he said was a little funny, so I chuckled out loud a bit, and showed that I did so, in text. That's it.

How many times must I assure you people I'm not acting mean and I'm not trying to be mean or insulting? I apologize if it comes across that way, but I'd hate myself for a good long time if I ever harshly laughed at someone who didn't want to be laughed at. I've been at the wrong end of that situation too many times myself.

So, next time I might seem to be doing that, and you feel the need to defend someone from me when you don't really need to, remember this:

DON'T DO IT. PLEASE.

If I come across as harsh, insulting, or just mean in general, it's just in your mind. I don't want to have to put smileys in my sentences again to show that I'm not serious. I really do like to think of myself as a nice guy, and it hurts me to see people defending others from me because you're interpretting what I say the wrong way.

Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Glorb on December 15, 2007, 04:35:44 PM
Oh, god, the air puff. I always skip it too. Everyone says it's like someone blowing gently on your eye, or a warm summer breeze or something of that ilk. It's really a short blast of air that doesn't actually hurt, but the tension is, at least for me, unbearable, and I always blink or recoil just as it shoots (so at least my eye has really good reflexes).

Okay. So my computer decided to be stupid this morning. I tried to get it out of stand-by mode, but it wouldn't. I could hear the whirring sounds coming from the computer, only quieter than usual. So I held the power button to turn it of and the sound stopped...but the button still blinked like it was in stand-by. Pressing it again booted it up. Odd.

I unplugged everything and opened it up, but I could only get one side off because the case seems to be designed by a retard. There was quite the dust build-up in there. After a vacuum job, I put everything back together. I had to hit the power button about five times to turn it on. I'm a bit worried about this thing...

I guess this is the reason eMachines have a bit of a bad rep, huh?

Post by: bobman37 on December 15, 2007, 04:59:59 PM
The worst part about the air puff is the anticipation. As you're sitting there staring at that hot air balloon way off in the distance, you think to yourself "It's coming. It's coming. I'm screwed. It's gonna happen NOW! Oh whew, ok, how about... NOW! Hmm, nope." *Pffft*

Other than that, it's not too bad. I can stand it.

How many times have you been puffed, Vid?

I could take it just fine for the first 16 years or so of my life (had glasses since age ~7) but year after year of being shot in the eyeball while looking at a distant bright light eventually made it unbearable to my brain. Let me emphasize that it's my brain that won't let me. I'm not a huge ***** or scared or anything. I just can no longer physically command my eyes to stay open staring at the Light of Death.

Someday I'm going to be lying on a hospital bed dying. They will say, "Go into the light, Lizard Dude." And I will see the light and hear a chorus of angels beckoning me toward it. As I gaze deeply into the Light, the last thing I will ever see... a ball of air will be shot into my eye and I will plummet to the depths of Hell, cursing Our Lord with every incantation I know.

As for what the air puff is, it is used to measure the pressure of the fluid directly within the cornea. High pressure can be an indicator of glaucoma. I have never had it (or, for that matter, any real vision testing) done, but I can imagine how it feels.

I have ANGST, because for some reason, I always mistake the maximum amount of pages for an assignment I have to do for the minimum amount.

Just today, up until a few hours ago I thought I had to do at least 8 pages of an assignment on philosophers in the Enlightenment era. After I looked at the paper in my notebook with the outline of the assignment, I saw that it only had to be 6 pages, with 8 being the maximum.

I'm quite glad I realize this before I finish, because if I didn't, I'd feel annoyed that I could've done less work in less time and not have points taken off for it being too short.

The crazy old lady who lives in the house next to ours has been spying on us since we moved here, but I've had it now. Basically, she stands there at her window, all day, watching us when we're outside and reporting any unusual behavior to...well, us. Yeah. She calls us up and explains to us that she saw X family member doing X unsavory thing, and is leaving the punishment up to us. Seriously, it's creepy, annoying, and creepy. Next time she calls us, I'll tell her to stop spying on us like a dirty old man and stop doing DIY detective work like the lady from "Murder, She Wrote", or I'll call the cops on her wrinkly butt.

Sit him down in an electric chair.

Glorb, I'll tell you what I would do, being the strange and bloodthirsty, but harmless and generous, person I am: Play mind tricks on her. Draw smiley faces on the backs of Post-Its and stick them to the outside of the window while she's asleep. And add more and more, one at a time, every day. At least, soon there will be too many Post-Its for her to see you.

For effect, write numbers on them and count down from twenty or more. For Post-It zero, draw an evil smiley face and leave it inside a small present with an egg by the front door, and start over.

I don't think it's illegal. It's not graffiti or destruction of private property, it's not necessarily littering, you're not harming anyone, etc.

I'm filled with ANGST because a 1gb stick of RAM I put into my computer has actually made it SLOWER (I have no idea how the hell this happened) and it is almost unusable due to its enormous suckiness. I disabled all visual themes, but it's running even slower than when I had less than half the amount of RAM in it (512mb). Is there any relatively cheap (I don't need useless suggestions like "buy a new computer lawlz urz sux rofflecopta") solution to my problem?

I know next to nothing about hardware-related stuff, but I don't think installing more memory could make your computer slower, so I'm guessing something else did it.

I beat Lou on Hard difficulty using this tactic, and I was even using the standard controller instead of a guitar.

It was pretty much a day when I was on vacation playing Pokemon Diamond when suddenly, the top screen started to flicker, and soon, all I could see of it was just a bunch of multi-colored vertical lines. It still works, it's just a little hard to play without the top screen.

Luckily for me, we were in the Twin Cities of Wisconsin, and there was a local Best Buy around so I could get a new one. Not only that, I had a gift card just for it, and I got a brand new DS Lite with Brain Age 2!

I'm 5'7". Take that!

I have ANGST because I have a wisdom tooth that is going to be pulled tomorrow, and I am extremely nervous about it. I have a fear of large pointy objects (like needles) and dentist shots are not like normal shots. They poke you and then they leave the needle in for(ever) what seems like 5 minutes, AND they jiggle the spot where they are poking you around, so it hurts even more.

On the upside, this tooth being pulled could relieve some of the headaches that I've been having..

I'm really full of ANGST right now because my friend is still sleeping at 7:00 PM. We were both supposed to go to a special party from 6-11, and he was going to bring a 360 and Halo 3 to hook up with another 360 for LAN awesomeness. However, when I arrive to pick him up, he does not answer. I'm thinking that he may have been able to go early to the party by someone. I arrive ~20 min. later at the party house and find he's not there. So now what? I can't stay, because his dad is supposed to give me a ride home, but I don't know where the heck my friend is. So, we (my dad and I) go all the way back home. After there for about 15 minutes, I try to call his house and get through on the first ring to his father, who delivers the news.

So, I'm very angry because:

-I cannot go to the party on account of someone else's fault
-My friend is being very inconsiderate for this
-I also feel sorry for the people who were expecting us to come and to be prepared with Halo 3 LAN Team Slayer/Grif Ball matches.

I guess after having one in my left wrist for an hour and with no one to talk to during my last laser surgery, my tolerance to them sky-rocketed.

I have to go on a snow camp out tomorrow.  For those of you wondering during a snow camp out you head up to the mountains and dig into the snow until you make a cave and then you sleep in it.  I'm nervous because last year when I went on one it was raining and we all had to go back home because we were so cold.

I'm being forced to.  If I don't do it then I will always have a small feeling of guilt and guilt drives me crazy.  All of my friends are also going and they will drive me crazy by making fun of me for backing out.  It's not a peer pressure issue it's just that my friends can get really annoying.  The big reason I don't want to go is because the last 3 I went on were really horrible and not planned out that well.  This one sounds like it will be a little better and I will go crazy if this is the only camp out that I don't go on (we hold a snow camp out annually) and it turns out to be the best one ever.

I HATE Football so much.

Never was a fan of it. I remember complaining about it as a young child, wanting to be taken home because I was cold, and hungry, and I didn't much care to see people running around a field throwing and catching an oddly-shaped ball.

I hated playing it in middle school, and usually just stood there while the other people on my team screwed around for the period.

I still hated playing it in high school. I also hated the fact that I had to be in the pep band so I had to sacrifice a perfectly good Saturday to sit on cold bleachers, holding a cold piece of coiled brass in my lap, on the verge of getting frostbite on my lips due to the mouthpiece which had become frozen over time, playing songs like Gimme Some Lovin', Jim Dandy, Hold On I'm Comin', etc. etc.

I didn't care if the school's team won or lost, I was quite happy to see the game end, whatever the outcome.

A good tip is to keep the mouthpiece in your pocket.
That would've been good advice about three years ago. XP

Thankfully, I learned at the end of my Junior year that the school budget cuts had cut the pep band from the band repertoire my senior year. We still had to march in the homecoming parade though, which wasn't as bad as it only lasted a few minutes rather than 5 HOURS.

One game I was in did not finish until after sunset, as they had gone into overtime, and even though points were scored then, the game didn't end there, like I had thought it would. Lots of people in the band were getting annoyed that they were being kept there so long. Our school's team won, and I actually thought of this as humorous, as this REALLY seemed to strike a nerve with the rival team's fans. They decided to riot the front of the school as well as the field. As I was waiting for my ride that evening, I constantly heard obscenities involving the school. A car had passed by me and a few others who were also waiting, and shouted:

"NEWFIELD SUCKS, IT'S A BUNCH OF [insert homophobic word that's synonymous with cigarettes and a bundle of sticks here]!"

I decided that this was too easy, but I replied anyway with:

"Hahahahahah! Your team got beaten by a bunch of [insert same word here]."

Needless to say they didn't like what I said, but my ride had just come up, and I got in the van before they could get out of their car to hurt me. I stuck my tongue out at one of them who decided to give chase anyway right after slamming the van's door on him.

"Who is that guy?" My father asked while locking the doors.

"Just some idiot. Now drive please." I replied.

I was totally thrown off by that, too.

As a vet pep/marching band participant, I would like to say pep band is really fun, even at football games. Keeping your mouthpiece in your pocket/armpit/...elsewhere is the first thing you learn. Temperatures of below freezing are probably the only bad thing about pep band during football season. And Vid, you didn't even have to march for 7 minutes when your face was numb and legs wouldn't move at 160 beats per minute (did you?).

Of course, there is no downside to indoor pep band (basketball). I love playing the show tunes. It's just a ton of fun. Our first pep band game of the basketball season is tomorrow and I can't wait. In fact, after I am done posting I will go downstairs and practice.

Our house was just egged by some random people we couldn't see. This just makes me so mad because it proves the level of immaturity people can have. No one is cool just because they can randomly walk up, throw some eggs at a person's hard-earned house, and leave. So now I've had my house invaded and humiliated. I just wish people would get a brain and learn some respect.

All of this makes me get closer to agreeing with my father to take shotgun lessons, in case anything like this would happen again.

But Melee, as I told you earlier, things like this can return to normal quite quickly. My old house in Valley Stream was the victim of eggings and burglaries. We called the cops, cleaned up the house, and replaced the shattered glass, and things got back to normal within a couple of days.

People here know me as a person who likes to act as if conflicts never even happened once they're resolved. My whole family is like that. We didn't even think about the events of that day a mere week after it happened.

I remember intentionally creating dissonance in band to annoy the people around me. It was quite funny.

In grade school band, we were not especially fond of our director. As eighth graders, we would often plot to annoy the director in any way we could as a form of rebellion to the ridiculously easy and childish arrangements that we played of cool songs (007 Theme, Fiddler on the Roof Medley, Walt Disney Medley, Cartoon Theme Medley, [I think that the theme was shows and showtunes, or something like that.]) Anyway, before rehearsal would begin, I fondly remember meeting with the other eighth graders behind the risers in the band room. We would plot to do the funniest things. We would play the legato sections in staccato. The sections marked pianissimo would be played at a forte accent. Eventually, we worked our way up to something along the lines of this. We would each pick our own note, and play it on the final upbeat of the 5th measure or something obscure like that. It was so funny, because she would think that we didn't know what the markings meant or didn't know the fingerings for the notes. High school band was much more professional, of course, but so was the director.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Vidgmchtr on January 05, 2008, 07:46:22 PM
Well, as fun as it was to create dissonance, I never did it when I had to act serious and play like I was supposed to.

One of my conductors in high school, a short, flamboyant, nerdy Jewish man, was often poked fun at behind his back, and I always felt terrible that a man who wanted to be serious and make good music would constantly have to stop and yell at the idiots who did that. I wanted to make pretty music myself, and in our private lessons he was quite wowed at my skills and knowledge of music, as well as the fact that I liked to listen to recordings of pieces I was going to perform.

In my senior year, when I helped out in the ensemble that had such students, the newest conductor noticed a difference in the expressions on my faces. She saw the happy, amused look on my face in the ensemble I was normally in, as well as the frustrated, annoyed look on my face in the band I helped out in.

Sure, Sakurai said that "some of the characters from Melee would be left out", but that in no way means that there won't be clones, or that former clones' movesets won't be changed, does it?

The "I want clones dropped" mentality is retarded. Melee would have eighteen characters without clones, but thanks to them there were twenty-five. Eighteen is... not as much as twenty-five. Most of them had zero wasted potential anyway. Falco? Pichu? If not clones what would they be? Gone. And how is eighteen characters with the absence of Ganondorf, Falco, Pichu, Dr. Mario, Luigi, Young Link and Roy better than twenty-five with them? How?

'Sides... Lucas makes it pretty clear that we have Brawl clones so get used to it. The PK Fire alteration? Why would they DO that if Lucas were a "replacement" for Ness? I guess there could be some situations where it could be more useful but the change will usually either be a downside or negligible.

Post by: Toad on January 10, 2008, 07:41:52 PM
Along the same lines, I have some SSB related angst.. *warning: lots of text ahead!*

Why do people not want Toad in? The SSB series is about classic characters beating up other classic characters. and Toad fighting with/alongside Yoshi would prove that both of these characters belong in the game. Most of the arguements/reasons people don't want him in are pretty stupid..

He's Peach's sheild!

There are other mushroom people with that coloring (thank you, Paper Mario). The one she's using could just be some generic mushroom person..

He hasn't been in very many games!

Pit was in 2 games, the Ice Climbers were in one game, MrGW was not even in a game, but is a conglomeration of all things game and watch made into a fighting game character. Captain Falcon wasn't even seen outside of his racer before the first SSB game, I believe..

He wouldn't have any moves!

Before the first SSB game, Mario would've likely died everytime someone hit him, Link wouldn't have been able to jump, and Captain Falcon would've just run over people in his racer. Fun!. . . -_-;;

He's too generic!

There are Yoshies, and then there is Yoshi. There are Pikachus, and then there is Pikachu, and Pichu, Jigglypuff.. If we're not going to have a character in because they are too generic, then Mario, Dr Mario, Luigi, Peach, Ness, Link, Young Link, Zelda, Ganondorf, Samus, Captain Falcon, the Ice Climbers, Marth, and Roy should all be taken out because they are human, and humans are far too generic to be in SSB.

Fox, Falco, and Donkey Kong could all easily be replaced by any fox, falcon, or giant gorilla in their space gear/clothes.

Mewtwo and Bowser can't be in because they are villianous characters from their respective game series, and Kirby can't be in because he looks like all the other dreamlanders.

Now, this is all hypothetical, but a game with no playable characters does not sound fun. If they can come up with moves for characters that have never even fought, they can surely come up with moves for a mushroom headed character that hangs out with two Italian plumbers.

The more the merrier*. I'm all for it. Even if he were somehow a clone, I'd welcome him.

*Some characters, however, would just be a waste of time (NO GOOMBA) or are completely irrelevant (Naruto**? Get real). Some characters would be unfit for the role of smash brother, and that's just how it is. Toad was a playable character in SMB2 and could have at least one move based on that.

People don't like the idea of Toad being a playable character because there are far more deserving characters who do more than spend time being a useless castle guard.

Though I wouldn't be surprised to see Smash Bros. 4 scraping the bottom of the barrel, since most of the most wanted or well deserving characters are now in the game.

GRRAAAGGHH!!

HOW is Peach more deserving? She's just some dumb blonde that gets kidnapped all the time! How is Bowser more deserving? He continues to kidnap the dumb blonde and somehow think that his latest plan is going to work. How is Zelda more deserving? She spent the first half of OoT in the castle, then the other half hiding from Ganondorf, only to be kidnapped at the very end. How are the Pokemon even fighting?! They need trainers to tell them 'do this move, do that move..'. They don't even fight in the wild.

I am sorry, but there are not that many more deserving characters left. Toad should have been in at least the second game..

How is Toad weak? In SMB2, he could pick things up the fastest out of the four characters. The game has been remade at least twice and they've had ample opportuninty to change things around, but Toad is still the strongest. In Wario's Woods, Toad could pick up entire stacks of bombs/aliens and move with them (and kick other bombs/aliens while holding the stack). In all the Mario Kart games, Toad is among the fastest and often has the best traction (Mario Kart Arcade aside. Haven't played that one myself..)

If Toad is so weak and useless, why do they keep giving him tremendous strength and speed stats? Pichu is weak and useless and became a SSB character anyway, and I had a hard time imagining Olimar as a playable character in SSB, so it's not outside the realm of possiblity anymore that Toad could become playable.

People don't want good characters playable. That's what it is..

Yes. Toad is quite a character that dosen't even show up in games that Daisy and Waluigi fill in.

And to answer why he dosen't appear as selectable in most Mario games, is because he is short. (Not saying to be mean but that's just what I think it is)

I'm a little confounded by Toad asking why Peach is more "deserving." I mean, I'm not against Toad in Brawl, although he would probably be like Kirby and have no range, but anyway, Peach isn't any less worthy of being in Smash either. She's been playable in more RPGs than Toad.

I have ANGST because idiots on the Internet think that any picture of anything is the Cloverfield monster. Now that we've moved past manipulating images to get a psuedo-face (just mirror the poster, turn it upside down, and invert the colors...), any time anyone finds a picture of a monster that was never said to be connected, be it fan art of a giant man-whale, Sin from Final Fantasty XXVII or concept art for a game, they say it's the monster. Gawd.

I share the same sentiments as Glorb, only it involves the so-called insiders on random message boards like Gamespot or 2chan who claim to have inside info on Brawl. While some sound a little convincing, others just throw out some of the dumbest poorly written info that they'll defend to no end because their fictional source says so. I find it hard to believe the N64's Final Destination stage returns with Melee's version too, or that Falco, Ganondorf, and Ness get retooled, while Roy remains a clone. Also, one of them listed alternate costumes for every character so far, despite the fact that Sakurai specifically said only Wario has them. Not to mention these suits sounded absolutely ridiculous (Cyber DK? Witch Ashley? Maskless Meta Knight?).

Luckily we only have to endure two weeks of this crap.

Yes. Toad is quite a character that dosen't even show up in games that Daisy and Waluigi fill in.

And to answer why he dosen't appear as selectable in most Mario games, is because he is short.

Kirby is 8 inches tall. Bowser is Godzilla sized (in Mario Sunshine). This argument is irrelevant.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: BP on January 12, 2008, 06:04:23 PM
Toad is quite right. In Super Smash Bros., proportions have no meaning. Pikachu (one-foot-four) is nearly Mario's height, placing Mario around one-foot-eight. And Kirby is, as far as numbers say, supposed to be HALF Pikachu's height! It kind of agitates me, but that's only because it would be great fun to KO ordinary characters many times Pikachu's height with him...

...Also Fourside. How do you fit into the "skyscrapers?" Maybe your leg could fit through the door...

It's a filthy lie that makes me spew bile whenever I see it.

It's a good pic, but not the real deal at all, and was not created to be such. And now people are saying it's fact, which fills me with a rage never before witnessed by mortal man. The only thing more infuriating is when people say, TO THIS DAY, that the monster is Godzilla (the evidence, of course, being that Rob is going to Japan and that there's an Asian chef in a photo on the site...[wtd]?).

And the explosion in the teaser trailer still hasn't been explained. Bummer.

What, Cloverfield? From what I'm seen, that movie's going to be greater that the invention of the wheel (although without the wheel, we wouldn't have film strips that launched the movie industry in the 1930's, and thus, we would have this movie, so I guess not). Plus, I haven't seen any massive promotion for it (like on the scale of Halo 3) since the teaser was released in July and ignited all that controversy. Most of it's hype has been from the fans who constantly follow the movie, not from the studio itself (or at least in my opinion)

Currently, I have ANGST over the massive science review I have for the exams (about 111 questions). Not only that, but I have also got a Geography cumulative activity, as well. Dis blows :(

What they tried to do with Snakes on a Plane was make a cult movie and market it as such. Unfortunately, this backfired, mostly because everyone on the internet was laughing at the movie, not with it, which the creators didn't seem to understand. I think Cloverfield's going to do better for a bunch of reasons, mostly because it takes itself seriously. The marketing doesn't focus on a single line from the movie like SOAP, and so far the only gimmick has been its mysteriousness.

How high off the floor was it? Unless your floor is hardwood or tile or something, I would think it wouldn't break from a fall from the wall.

Getting up out of bed to turn off the alarm clock is better because once I'm out of bed, there's no going back. Unlike when I set my alarm right next to my bed and I can just roll over, turn it off and go back to sleep.

I used the Task Scheduler as an alarm for about a week. The song of choice? Luigi's theme from Mario Strikers Charged. Anyway, I didn't really like having to leave my speakers on overnight as that little green light is surprisingly bright. Then for my birthday, one of my sisters got me an alarm clock (Even though I didn't even ask for one. She just got it because it was cute.). But I'm a rather light sleeper anyway so I'm usually up before I need to be.

Angst from me this time? Nope. I've got nothing. I've been pretty dang happy this week actually.

Number of delays: 2.
Again, we talked about how delays are a GOOD thing that help make the game BETTER, and how people shouldn't complain about delays.

If you want it so bad, import it. It comes out in a week or so in Japan.

I'm sure someone's found an easy, warranty-voiding way to fix the Wii so it can read other regional media by now.

I do recall MEGAߥTE pointing out that it's possible to play GCN discs from other regions if you time your entering the disc into the slot correctly.

Miis should not be playable. Last I checked, Super Smash Bros. Brawl was a game to make Nintendo characters and Sonic beat each other up. The Mii is not a Nintendo character. The Mii is a caricature of you, some annoying celebrity or just every bizarre facial feature available you threw together to try to get people to think you're funny and original even though it's been done one thousand times. This caricature is used in games that don't have characters.

He might still be wondering why there's big gaps in release dates. The fact that the U.S. got both the Wii and DS before Japan did is probably making him think games are supposed to be released simultaneously in all countries or earliest in the U.S., because that's what happened with the hardware.

Sorry, buddy. Even though Nintendo DOES want to release things around the same time in all countries, it's very difficult, as complications arise quite a bit in development as well as localization.

Be patient, eh?

Honestly, I can't recall any good game that wasn't delayed at least once.

That probably isn't true, however it is pretty much true that a delayed game usually turns out well (Half-Life 2, Twilight Princess). Of course, Most great games weren't very hyped and therefore no one even knew that they were delayed, even if they were.

It's amazing to me how girls can make you feel guilty over not doing anything. You see, my friend and I were having a discussion about...something, when someone else who was not in the discussion brought up an insulting comment about my mom. Now, it was all in good fun, I guess, but it was particularly offensive to me because it happened to reference something unpleasant a few years back. Somehow, grandparents were brought up somewhere along the line. The girl I was talking to had a grandfather who had died a week back. By bringing that up, I had accidentally caused her to cry and leave the room, despite my attempts to apologize. Which is despite the fact that I didn't do anything.

Katamari Damacy -- I read the Penny Arcade comic about it the day before release and said, "Hmm." Then I stopped into a GameStop the next day (release day) and saw they had one copy. I bought it. One day TEM came to my house and I showed him it. Then he finally liked the music. He plays it all the time on his radio.

Shadow of the Colossus -- I did anticipate this before release. But I didn't have a PS2 at the time.

Metal Gear Solid -- I never played it until Twin Snakes on GCN. Many of my best friends were (are) obsessed the whole way through, though, so I always heard a lot about it and upcoming releases.

Guitar Hero -- I actually made fun of it for a few months after release, calling it a stupid Guitar Freaks knockoff. Then I bought it because, ya know, rhythm game!, and learned what true bliss is.

What I think the companies (well...

I'm not taking one side or the other in this R.O.B. thing, but this is precisely what I am sick of hearing. I'm pretty sure someone has said this before, but most of the characters in Smash would have no third jump or attacks or whatnot if it were not for Smash. Captain Falcon, Fox, and Sheik, just to name a few. Who cares if a character would have no moves that seem reasonable? I'm sure Nintendo could come up with something for anyone.

A male friend and I exchanged gifts for Christmas, he gave me Sin and Punishment, I made him a CD of music from The Price is Right (his favorite game show). Does that mean we're a homosexual couple? No.

I get into hugs with a lot of my male friends too, including the one I just stated. Does that mean I'm dating them? No.

Is any aspect of this true?
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: MEGAߥTE on January 26, 2008, 11:27:38 AM
Nintendo has licensed AM3 to produce a micro SD adapter for downloadable content (512MB), though it's for comics, books, magazines, anime, movies, and television programs rather than games.  And only in Japan.
The DS firmware can't be upgraded without shorting the pins in the back, so that claim is bogus (and would be unnecessary anyway).
The FFVII claim is also made up, though I wouldn't be surprised to see it make it to DS eventually.  With current compression technology, FFVII wouldn't have to be that large in any case.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: WarpRattler on January 26, 2008, 11:33:53 AM
Right. Thanks. Just wanted to check.

That JP-only thing sounds somewhat similar to a rumor going around a while back about Nintendo releasing a flashcard running a system similar to the VC, but for playing GB/GBC games on the DS. I heard about that one months ago, though...and I don't really see any reason why it would be true.

I recently heard that there's some stuff in Cloverfield that ties in to Lost, and vice-versa (like the Dharma symbol appearing in CF's opening sequence, and a faint image of the Statue of Liberty's head in the Lost ARG). That royally ticks me off. I want the two things to be seperate; while it's sort of exciting if the two are connected, I have never cared about Lost. If the CF ARG is continuing just to promote Lost, or, even worse, I have to watch Lost to understand what else happened in the movie, then I'm swearing off all forms of visual entertainment for good. And if the upcoming Lost game is tied into the CF as well, then I'm going to live as a hermit in the woods.

...Anyways, I have ANGST because I caught some sort of cold/flu/sore-throat/etc. That was probably the most unpleasant night of my life. I wake up at 3:00 in the morning and my nose is drooling like crazy, my throat is so sore I could hardly breathe, and before I could realize it, I was vomiting all over the place. Instinctively, I had ran upstairs to the bathroom while cupping the flem with my hands. Once I got there a had a mouthfull of you-know-what, and I had to make a split second choice, throw up in the sink, or throw up in the toilet. I had chose the sink and stood there for about five minutes while the dam to my stomach had burst. Even after I had done this the horrid smell, taste, and look of the vomit had made me keep going. I thought I was going to pass out, but I luckily made it and survived. I had to fall asleep on the sofa upstairs after taking a shower because my bed was covered in... you know.

The next day was not so pleasant either. As soon as I got up, I still had a little flem in my mouth, then I all of a sudden ran to the bathroom and started puking bial. I kept on letting lose until I got the dry heaves. Then I passed out in another bed. Then I woke up about right now feeling a little woozy and started typing things on the Fungi Forums.


I'm glad its over.

Anyway Vid's complaints should be right at home in this thread.

I saw one of the Mass Effect argument clips and the people who don't have a clue what's going on are pretty funny/unbearable depending on your tolerance level.

I'm not really big on ANY of the gamer comics. VG Cats is alright.

But I mostly look at PBF and Achewood (which is sometimes NSFW). =/
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: WarpRattler on January 27, 2008, 11:42:07 PM
PBF and xkcd. I was reading Ozy and Millie for a while, but I guess I stopped reading at some point. I still get them emailed to me, so I'll probably catch up at some point...

EDIT: Forgot about Pixel. I always forget about Pixel...

VG cats is also universally bad. Penny-Arcade was super funny for a while a few months ago. Before and after that, not really at all.
PBF, xkcd, Pixel and Chugworth for me (Chugworth NSFW)

Post by: MEGAߥTE on January 28, 2008, 12:32:39 AM
I wouldn't say CAD is one of the worst comics out there.  But in saying that, I'm only saying that 99% of comics out there are just really bad.
Penny-Arcade has funny streaks and a lot of dull streaks.
VGCats has gotten progressively worse, but if you want funny, check out NeoGAF whenever there is a new strip.
For video games, particularly Nintendo, I'd say Awkward Zombie is the best right now.
PBF and xkcd are almost always funny, though you have to have a lot of knowledge to get every xkcd strip.
PhD is also consistently funny if you're a grad student.
Edit: forgot about JJ's Filibuster Cartoons!

Here are the webcomics I read:

Penny Arcade -- (own all the print books too (the best thing about PA is actually the podcast IMO)
Least I Could Do
C'est La Vie
F Minus -- (I think it might be a newspaper comic but I read it online and have never seen it in a newspaper)
Questionable Content
xkcd
PhD -- (I think reading this is 1/3 the reason I'm not in grad school right now)
Chugworth Academy
Filibuster -- (made by the infamous J.J.)
PIXEL
Three Panel Soul -- (sweet art)
F@NBOY$ -- (Not on hiatus, just one per week (better than VGCats lol!))
Perry Bible Fellowship -- (recently bought the hardcover book)
VG Cats -- (but I'm starting to feel ashamed to read it)
Krakow -- (actually just ended, like with an actual ending. Weird for a webcomic!)
Elf Only Inn -- (no new ones in a long time)
Looking For Group -- (by the same guys as LICD)
Loserz -- (was pretty awesome, then it died, came back, and died again)

And then a lot of other stuff that's been dead so long I won't even bother mentioning them.

eww webcomics.

Anyways, I've been doing some research to try and figure out what's wrong with me. I've been feeling more lifeless than ever and instead of getting worked up over things that annoy me IRL, I simply let it slide and move on with my life. I've also become more distant and apathetic towards others and my life in general, even though I still get some joy out of video games and my computer. There's also those feelings of inadaquecy that sneak up on me during a slow day, and I'm constantly bored with everything.

I'm part of NSBE (National Society for Black Engineers), one of the members of the senior Robotics team.  My friend and I are both new to NSBE this year, and both have been working on the robot competition for a while, along with 2 other members, sometimes.  The competition is in March, and I get a cheap trip down to Orlando, Florida to compete.  What I just found out today is that the robot we've been working with is the wrong one.  We've been using LEGO Mindstorms kit, and I guess we're either going to use the more complicated LEGO robotics kit, or something new altogether.  So we have just over a month to figure out this new kit. 

Also, when I said that the team consisted of 3 friends and myself, that's a little misleading.  There should be a team of 6.  That's what we started at.  Then our president booted one of the members because they never came to meetings.  Then one of the people has only shown up to maybe 3 meetings (which have been going on since October).  Basically, it's been sporadic appearances of 3 members, mostly consistant of one, and then my friend and I have been to all of them.  And this whole thing causes a problem, as the competition is a mandatory 6 member team.

Right now I'm irritated because Half-Life 2, HL2: Episode 1, and HL2: Deathmatch are all giving me errors when they try to load up ("Platform Error: module failed to initialize," followed by "The instruction at '0x241f94f7' referenced memory at '0x0d8bf41c'. The memory could not be 'read'. Click on OK to terminate the program."; the second error is different for all three games, and the one I listed is the one given by HL2). This started happening last night. It's especially frustrating because Portal, HL2: Episode 2, and TF2 all work properly (and yes, I know that those three games use the newer version of the engine).

I don't have my own high speed wireless connection, so I find any open source and latch onto it until it kicks me off.

Besides, if these neighbors were smart, they wouldn't continually open up their connection every 2 weeks under a different name. Especially since my searches always bring up at least 7 connections.

Also, I'm sure you'd do the same if you were in my position. Why bother paying for it when you can get it for free?

It's not just the fact that games that haven't even been released yet are being senselessly bashed. It's also the repetitiveness and how the way it ends every time just leaves both sides agitated.

Edit: While I'm on the train of thought, the reason that Nintendo didn't appeal to "casual gamers" twenty years ago is because they didn't exist. What we call casual gaming today is more or less all you could do--even the console games for the NES were mostly arcade games. How is Super Mario Bros., extremely easy and short, any harder-core than Super Mario Galaxy?

Post by: Insane Steve on February 18, 2008, 05:20:35 PM
So this weekend I went to a state-level high school speech competition. My girlfriend's friend's sister was competing (in the dramatic interpretation event) and we went to watch her and the rest of her heat. There were 19 competitors, 6 were in the heat we saw.

Of the 6, the person we went to see and this one guy who did an amazing interpretation of a hobo both had excellent performances. There were two others that were fairly good and two others that were outright bad: one with no soul or drama at all, whatsoever, and another who did an incredibly inaccurate, extremely insulting to anyone who knows anything about the subject impression of an autistic savant.

Results come in, and 8 of the 19 people make the "finals". I was incredibly miffed to see neither the person we came to see nor the bum made it. (In hindsight, I am not at all surprised, as the person we came to see had to go first out of all 19 the day we saw here, and the bum had to go first the day before in the first set of presentations. A note to everyone in high school who ever eters a subjectively judged contest: if you have to go first in the order, don't even compete. You WILL NOT make the next round no matter how good you do. Your scores will be AT LEAST 10-20% worse than they would have been had you gone near the middle of the order.)

So out of curiousity I went to see who exactly DID make it ou of the group we watched: One of the decently good people AND THE PERSON WHO MADE FUN OF SAVANTS.

NO REALLY IGNORANT SOCIETY

So let's have a recap of her performance:

The point of the dramatic interpretation event is to take a passage and recite it as the person who wrote it or the character who said it would have. She chose to do a passage by Daniel Tammet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Tammet). Daniel Tammet's abilities (including reciting pi to a wuarter million digits) are partly due to savantism, but more due to him being synaesthetic and seeing numbers as vivid, unique shapes. The girl's interpretation of this man was a horrible, insulting character very similar to Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man, except more debilitating and stereotypically ignorant and with a voice very close to Steve Urkel.

Daniel Tammet's voice was NOT THAT BAD. Strike 1.

The girl repeated what she said and stuttered thoughout the whole thing and often just starting screaming numbers out of nowhere because autistic people just DO INCREDIBLY ZANY UNPREDICTABLE THINGS AMIRITE GUYZ?!!?!?!? Note to ignorant populace: an autistic person who is that impaired will not speak. At all. Or, at most, in spurts of 2 or 3 words at a time, certainly not in complete sentences with flowery language in between. Tammet was certainly not this impaired in speech, at all. Strike 2.

Her eye contact with the crowd was nearly flawless. This is great in speech contests. EXCEPT THAT AUTISTIC SAVANTS GO WELL OUT OF THEIR WAY TO AVOID EYE CONTACT. Strike 3.

Then when she tried to reinact Tammet meeting his life partner (he's gay btw) she just sort of very gradually became "normal". Now, the end result was closer to how Tammet actually acts, but I thought she was breaking out of character and it was horribly done and outright confusing. Strike 4.

And yet, despite this incredibly flawed, horrifically inaccurate performance, she managed the best score in the heat. I'm more autistic (as in: have an extremely strong suspicion that I have Asperger's) than she ever will be. I cringed. My girlfriend, who is taking a class in autism and actually working with a genuinely impaired 17 year old, cringed more. Of course, the judges ate it up because it was soooooo over the top and savants are just useless people who deserve to be made fun of.

The other person who made it was more accurate... but also based her performance around an extremely disabled person, one with a disfigured face, a hunchback, no right hand, and extremely slurred speech. The moral of this story: making fun of disabled people = good drama, and talent simply cannot overcome that multi-millionaire who makes a nice bribe grant to the speech organizations in Illinois in the name of a high school. Seriously, watching the person we went to see cry for a half hour because such undeserving performances just... ugh.

In conclusion: Screw talent, if you want to go far in life, make connections and play to everyone else's unfounded predjudices. It'll take you a lot farther than wasting your time making yourself a better person.

Yep, Pretty Much. Art is dead.

Heck, If I was at that thing, I definitely would not have liked it. Truth be told, I have been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndome also, which sucks, because now everyone is being prejudice to me and also are blaming every little impulsive action to the syndrome, but now it rocks because I get to be ignored by the [darn] bullies in school.

She's entitled to hate the Wii if she wants to. But, I have a feeling that you only hate the Wii because you can't pay for/find one, correct, N64 Chick?

I hate the Wii because it has already claimed not one but two of my friends. Oh sure, my boyfriend takes me to his house every so often. But why? All he really does is play Super Paper Mario in a very obvious attempt to be a show-off. He forces me to spend the night there so he can grab those the next morning. The sick little...

As for this new case, my friend is completely ignoring me. All means of contacting her (AIM, e-mail, etc...) have had no effect and she even took me off her LiveJournal friends list. As far as I'm concerned, she's now attacking me behind my back. All because of that stupid guy and his equally annoying machine!

And for those of you that didn't know already, getting a Wii myself is out of the question. I live out in the country, can't drive, and there's no jobs within walking distance.

I'm truly amazed at how people either a) have no idea what's going on/what they're talking about or b) have no clue how to make themselves understood.

My addition to this discussion: If you think motion control is "overrated" you're severely misinformed and haven't played any games. Not that it's better than traditional control schemes, but it's a heck of a lot of fun and worth owning the system for the possibilities. Also, it's worth owning for all the good games it has that aren't on other systems. There isn't a "big deal" and your intentionally ignorant comments aren't helping you insult the system, they're just making you look stupid. Also, I can't repeat this enough to N64 Chick it seems, but the Wii didn't do any of it. It's all the people's fault. Blaming an inanimate object for things is stupid. This is not me being like "OMG don't haet on wii" either.

I hardly play my Wii, as most of my gaming time currently is spent in Melee. I enjoyed every Wii game I bought, though.

I'm very confused as to why there's so much current-gen Nintendo hate here (I understand your complaint, N64 Chick, but that's vastly different from the hate it usually gets).


So... might I get a loud and clear, non-subtle, detailed, and irrefutably reasonable opinion on why the Wii is so terrible? Because it seems like just one of those things... gotta complain about SOMETHING...

  • The NES was basically a home arcade with a handful of adventure games, many of which didn't allow saving and thus weren't too long. Not like those games don't get ports and remakes every year anyway. I think the retro approach is getting old, personally. Galaxy mixed retro and new for a good balance of "Hey, that's from Mario World!!" and "Oh, how clever." Like Superstar Saga.

Glad to hear I'm not the only person who already thought of that. As somebody who's always obsessed over every little reference to a previous game or obscure detail, it actually kinda bothered me how after years of being mocked for retaining such knowledge and appreciation that it suddenly became cool to appreciate retroness. Keep in mind I don't hold that against anybody here; rather, I'm pointing out that it created imbeciles out there who blindly follow the "if it's retro, it's better than anything" rule and don't really give Nintendo's entire historical spectrum enough credit. They probably don't even play the games they've suddenly grown to appreciate so fanatically, either.

Quote
  • Nintendo's new goal is to interest non-gamers and make the industry even more popular, which calls for a change of their outward image. If you don't like that, go play a PlayStation 3. No one's stopping you.

Unfortunately, this harkens up to what I said before. Being a guy who gets into the video game industry beyond just being games (to the point of never being biased towards a system and respecting why games are popular except when certain people like the ones I mentioned above idiotically obsess over them), I kinda wish I could share Nintendo's rich history with the average person. There's a lot of potential to be had there, you know. I know Nintendo's current "more game than video" method is working wonders for them, but it makes me sad to see that a lot of their lesser franchises are losing their pedestals, and even the bigger ones are mere shells of what they used to be in the long run.

I find it kinda funny/sad that the only games mentioned by Bird Person that are supposedly for "Hard-core" gamers are franchises.

The Wii is a great system, I think.  The problem lies in the fact that people are pushing so many horrible titles to it that many games are just going to be ignored unless Mario is plastered on the cover, even if they're fantastic.

Don't get angry at it for interfering with your social life.  It's a box with chips inside.  It entertains.  My suggestion?  Get rid of friends, get a new box with chips inside.  Then there is no social life to interfere in.

I'll repeat this one more time. If Gwen simply got distracted by the Wii, I can understand that. And if she were to, say, take five minutes to check on me, that would be fine. But that is not the case. She is completely shutting me out. She had never done this to me before and it happened on the exact same day that the guy with the Wii came to her place.

Hopefully, the guy will be gone in a few days and Gwen will come back to her senses. If not, then screw her. I guess all those times we talked to each other on the phone didn't mean a thing to her.

As for David, I'm officially giving up on him once he gets Galaxy and/or Brawl...with money he stole no less.

She obviously thinks the Wii is more important than you. I wouldn't blame her either. If I had a Wii... Wait, no I have never seen a Wii yet. I haven't even touched the controller! ,_,

I'd say about 70 to 90 percent of all phone conversations, including all cell phone and telephones, have absolutely no moral meaning whatsoever. Incidentally the larger amount that spend time on the phone would be women, so there is a extremely likely chance that your conversations would fall in that agenda.

Your boyfriend should be more considerate and at least offer to play a game both of you can play (bonus points if it's a two player simulatneous game, like Smash Bros  or Mario Kart). I at least offer that when I know my fiancee may not neccesarily be crazy about the game I'm playing. I'll play until I can save it/it saves, then we play something together..

Now, I have ANGST because my mouth hurts again, and it feels like the same pain I had on the one side, except that it's on the other side. I hope it's a tooth that can be pulled and not something more serious..

Random bit of angst:

Professional Smash players critisizing Brawl for lacking melee "techniques", when these were actually just glitches that people began to exploit. And what is someone supposed to do with glitches in the game's sequel? Program them out. Just sayin', M2K.

Well I've tried doing it tons of times and cannot. The skidding to gain a small boost is easy, yes, but doing it constantly on straightaways is very tough, IMO, especially when doing the ability on a regular DS and not a Lite is kinda hard, due to the friction.

Hmm there was a problem in Japan with this, but it's actually the Wii that's defective.  The reason it didn't come up until now is that Smash is the first dual-layer disc, which requires higher laser sensitivity.  In Japan, a large contributor to the problem was residue left from the large number of smokers in the country.

I hope I don't have a problem with my Wii.  I noticed that my Wii appeared to move the laser around a lot in SSBB, but didn't think that was a problem until I got stuck on one of the Subspace Emissary levels where everything went black except for Fox when the level loaded.  I appeared to be in a dark rectangular room with no way out.  If this is some sort of "dark" level I'll feel really stupid because I couldn't find anyway out of it at the time.  I had full control of Fox and the camera, but there wasn't any background or level other than the small area I could move in.

Taking a hint at what he just said, I go to turn off the lights and head to bed, but he then grabs me and says real threateningly, "You see that thing over there? (Points to my computer) That's your new dad." He then makes some extremely childish gestures and heads back into bed.

Chup is right on what he said a couple pages ago about "predictable" computer players.  Whenever me and my friends get together and play, no one falls for a meteor smash, but then I go and play a CPU and I can predict their every move when they come back from being smashed off of the platform.  Getting the three pieces of the Dragoon is one of the biggest thrills I've ever had in gaming.

Something can't be "nerfed" in its first appearance. Nerf means that it was made weaker than the old version. You're saying that the Landmaster is just weak.

Furthermore, it is LUDICROUS to talk about highest-level tournament balance until many, many months and even years have gone by.

The real problem with Wario Waft is that it takes two minutes for the full charge, which is the same amount of time as the standard brawl. I guess you could use it as a quasi-Final Smash.

I've devoted so much time to Wolf now that he's the character I'm best at.

Wario waft is only good in long term matches like stock and 10:00 time limits. I think it's great that he has it, but it's still really difficult to pull off correctly and score some major damage/kills.

Two minutes, wow. I guess I've probably never seen the full power then. I just thought it was a really bad move.

I couldn't get clean shots at him either, I fought him the 1st time with Sonic (It was very stupid of me since I had gotten him minutes earlier) And lost, So then I tried with ROB, and lost. then I tried Lucas a character I am more familiar with. I lost. Then I tried with my main man Luigi (I don't like how his karate chop has been slightly nerfed and his missile move just doesn't go as far. I haven't even seen his awesome explosion missile yet! Not one time!) and I finally won. See kids It's all about choosing the right character.

I have mild angst becuase I don't have my Wii back from Nintendo yet, but I know that it's back in town (according to Nintendo's FedEx Tracker, they scanned it in here in town at 6 this morning..) Just deliver it already!!

On SSB related angst: I hat how people think that using the C-Stick for Smash attacks in Melee (and Brawl, apparently) is cheating. It is not cheating. It's a throwback to the first game, where the smash attacks were un-chargeable, and it helps many new users (or people who may not play frequently) enjoy the game.
Title: NINTENDO BROKE MY CONSOLE!
Post by: Toad on March 14, 2008, 05:54:05 PM
So, shortly after 6pm this evening, my Wii and SSBB finally comes back home. After powering it on, I discover that it won't take any game disks. I tried a different disk at first (the only other one with me is Wii Sports) but it didn't take that one, either.

I start looking for the phone number for the Customer Service, and my dad pushes the SSB game so far into the Wii that he has to get a pair of tweezers to get it out (he's very careful. I trust him..)

On the phone, I get a very nice man that had to put me on hold and transfer me to someone higher up after hearing about my problem. The guy that is higher up said that he was very sorry, and to send the Wii back to them. He upgraded the shipping to 2 Day, so if I send it off tomorrow, I can get it back by Monday (hopefully).

I am mad! My Wii worked fine before I sent it off, and now it's broken even more!! It won't even take the disk from me, like it's supposed too, and I have to wait three more days in order to play Brawl!!!

If it doesn't work after this, I don't know what I'm going to do..

Tell me about it, I emailed Nintendo's tech support the other day to ask why my Wii kept freezing every so often once I started the disc channel (the screen stays black, and the Wiimote gets unresponsive), and wanted to know a better solution besides going to the power button on my Wii and turning it back on.

Their response?

CALL US AND WE'LL TRY TO FIGURE IT OUT THAT WAY. WE DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO ANSWER PROBLEMS VIA E-MAIL.

I have ANGST because my great uncle's probably going to die in the next week or so.  See, a lifetime of smoking caused his health to deteriorate to the point that without a respirator, he only gets about 30% functionality out of his lungs.  Which means unless a miracle occurs, he's pretty much screwed once they pull the plug, which they plan to do in the near future.  Of course, it's at his request that they do it, because he'd just spend the rest of his life hooked up to the respirator to breathe anyway.  He is 72.

Hey, that happened to me last week? I just unplugged all the cords and plugged them back in. I thought I had a serious problem there. Hey aren't Nintendo consoles now made in America? If so..... great.... None of my other systems did that  (they don't respond at all if I try to reset or turn on) but my Wii doesn't even make it to a year and it's already acting up?

Wiis have done this from the beginning, but upgrading the firmware seemed to help.
Wiis are made in China, hence the problems.  Previous Nintendo hardware was made in Japan.

My Wii woes continue.. I sent it out again on Monday (just like customer service told me to do, after sending me a new repair number), and I kind of thought that Fed Ex would have scanned it in so that I can keep track of it on thier website.

They either haven't picked it up yet, or haven't bothered themselves to scan it in. I really hope it appears on the tracking site soon, or else they're going to get a call from an angry Toad..

Ok, so it appears that I am being a bit over-reactive. Nintendo sent me an email today saying that they have recieved the Wii and supposedly fixed it, and I can expect it back in 2-5 business days. I am hoping for Saturday, since my sister is leaving on Sunday (after having spent her Spring Break with us). If it comes back on Monday, that's ok too, since her fiancee has a Wii and Brawl of his own (lucky dog! His worked..)

Global warming doesn't mean it's all sweltering, all the time. It means weather slowly becomes gradually warmer as time goes on. Where I live, it snowed exactly once last winter, and it was a small amount. Consequently, it felt exactly like fall the whole time.

You were there a hundred years ago? XD

I have angst because my sister and I didn't get to play Brawl while she was on her Spring Break. I had to send my Wii off twice, and after it came back the second time, it was acting like it wasn't going to work. I started making phone calls (or trying to; nobody was answering the phone..) I tried Nintendo Customer Service, my fiancee, mom, dad, and my sister. I left messages for all, then tried Nintendo again. Both times I called Nintendo, I got their automated service (press 1 if you are having this problem). I got so frustrated that I walked up to the Wii, balled both of my hands into fists, and smashed the Wii between my two fists (very much like Ross on Friends used to do when he was flipping people off without using the finger; the same hand motion but with slightly more force behind it).

After that, I hear something click into place in the Wii. I got over my bad mood and decided to put in the SSB disc. It starts reading it, and before you know it, I was watching the intro to the game. If I'd just thought to hit my Wii a week earlier when it wasn't working, then my sister and I could've played SSB while she was on Spring Break. Figures.

Yeah, last I looked out the window, it's snowing here (Washington). But global warming actually is supposed to cause rising temperatures, then a sharp drop, so the cold may or may not be justified as air currents or whatever fluctuate (that's why I kind of didn't like The Day After Tomorrow--it made a mockery of the global warming issue. Now, I know that the whole thing was like that because it makes a good action flick, but I just hope everyone knows that it doesn't really happen that fast).

Isn't there evidence to support global warming? If there is, I highly doubt there's an eminent and impending doom looming over us as we speak like Al Gore says. Nevertheless, going green couldn't really hurt us that bad, could it? It'd at least make the air cleaner.
My standard points about global warming:

1) Being environmentally aware shouldn't be called "going green". It doesn't need to be called anything because this shouldn't be a movement--this should be what we automatically do. It's like if we lived in one of those old societies where no one bathed, and people were always smirking at all those guys washing their hands/showering for "going clean" all of a sudden.

2)Why would global warming be an elaborate hoax? What's to gain from lying that the world is headed towards turmoil and we need to be nicer to the environment? Now as for lying that there is no global warming... well, let's just say that has a few perks.

3)I have a hard time listening to the whole, "oh, it's just a natural process argument". Yes, I can see that, but let's not forget that the last Ice Age was probably caused when that Vatican City-sized meteorite slammed into Mexico and basically took out the sky for a year or two. Besides, if you pump tank after tank of the gaseous remains of Styrofoam, oil, and every chemical under the sun that humans have been producing for more than a century, you're telling me that nothing will happen? (Not "you", specifically... you know what I mean)

Your point #2 makes no sense. Al Gore made money from his movie. Now tell me how someone would make money (or gain... whatever) by saying it isn't happening.
Never heard that about the last ice age, and that wasn't really my point either. I was talking about people.
We should absolutely do whatever we can to maintain/improve the environment. That wasn't my point either. Lots of stuff is happening that needs to be fixed, like the blob of plastic soup in the ocean, but global warming doesn't seem the most convincing and least hypothetical at this point.

Well, duh. But that wasn't the purpose. If I made a cancer awareness documentary and released it to theatres, do you think my primary concern would be making money? Also, You can gain a whole lot from lying about global warming, especially if you're a major oil company. At the risk of sounding like a MGS2 plot point, oil companies can easily buy the support of respected scienctists or other public figures, as well as newspapers and magazines, to bend public opinion to the idea that global warming is "just a theory" (much like evolution or gravity). Why? So they can make more money from the fossil fuel industry.

There's no such thing as a false opinion. Opinions can't be true or false. That's what separates them from facts.

And as global warming is such a controversial topic with neither conclusive side deemed factual, one's beliefs about it could be called opinions. Chupperson's right--the overall climate of the Earth does rise and fall and rise again. Gore is right too--the temperature hasn't experienced a fall in a long time. I personally don't care, and think that people should clean up their crap and be more environment-friendly while also not caring about global warming/cooling. If it turns out that global warming is not our fault after all, we still won't be sorry to have not polluted, but if it turns out that it is, then it'll be solved.

Where I live, pollution is horrible and it feels to me that summers keep getting hotter and winters keep getting colder. Don't know what to make of that.

Not necessarily that, but if your lips are chapped, the possibility of damaging your lips and making them bleed while playing is much higher (It's happened to me a few times). Application should be done as soon as possible, not right before playing.

So yesterday I was working on a video project for my fourth period class when I saw this random notebook lying near me. In most cases I would've ignored it but in this case there was a picture of a magical schoolgirl eating chocalate, so I figured maybe it had moar pics. I open it and I'm exposed to the largest amount of stereotype and fail I've ever read. The owner wrote a bunch of sad poetry in the first couple of pages, and had doodled that butt ugly demon thing from Death Note, who I only recognized because of the mascara and the apples. He also had a list of things to do before he died, which included among many things, "beat up a jock", "burn a church" and "teach martial arts in Japan". The one that angered me the most though, was "meet Lewis Black and have a political conversation with him".

Clearly someone is trying to push my buttons. Thankfully, I'll have Mario Kart soon.

If you want a really good 0 Calorie water-type drink, go to your nearest Target (It has to be Target though, it's a store-brand) and try the Archer Farms flavored water. I particularly like the lemon raspberry flavor.

My school serves crappy sickening foods all the time, it's horrible. I go to a really bad school, nearly everyday the fire alarm rings, and thanks to that, everytime it does so, the students just sit there and ignore it. And it's all because some idiot administrator sets it off accidentally or something. I'm just waiting for the day when my school actually is set on fire, no one's going to take it seriously.

I never eat food sold at school anymore. It's expensive, it's low-quality, and the lines are long. The grocery store, the Mexican restaurant and the burger restaurant are our three main options, but our burger day is always Friday. And when I don't leave campus, I just don't eat until I get home.

If they ever close campus, I don't know what I'll do. Surely it wouldn't be long before they realized, "There is no way every student can buy something to eat like this," or, "Maybe the increased number of fights has something to do with so many people on campus to participate, spectate, and prevent intervention!"

As am I. My school's fire alarm has gone off many times unannounced; as a result, all the teachers usually tell us to stay until someone announces that it's a false alarm. Next time this happens I'm going to leave, come back after a while, and then tell everyone how they would all have burned to death.

Pfft, consider yourself lucky your school even lets you leave campus for lunch. Seniors used to be allowed to do it every day and could drive their cars off campus to go eat. Ever since we got a new principal about four years ago, though, she's slowly been tightening up on us, to the point where seniors can only do it on a specific day once a month and have to walk to wherever they want to eat. Rumor has it that she won't even let us do it at all next year (which is when I'll be a senior).

It doesn't affect me too much, as I've always brought my own lunch. I just don't like seeing this happen.

My school lost open campus privileges after some students were arrested during lunch. It doesn't affect me much, since I stopped getting reduced-cost lunch shortly before this happened and had to start bringing lunch anyway (which sucks because my school serves awesome lunches), but it means that all ~110 students at my school have to pack into the tiny lunchroom, and on the offchance that I do get money to buy lunch, I have to stand in a long line - and I'm usually near the end because my last class before lunch is on the top floor, and the lunchroom is in the basement.

I would never give up Coca Cola for anything, so I'm probably guranteed diabetes in my future.

Kids complain about my school's lunches all the time, but I don't care either way. It fulfills my hugner for the 7 hours I'm there and is definitely more healthy than anything I'd get on my own. With my inability to cook, I'm sure I'd turn to buying pizza every single day, so I'm thankful for them.

Oh yeah, there's this guy I once considered my friend, but I honestly can no longer stand to be in his very presence. His existence doesn't annoy me, it plagues my very being. I've been ignoring every word he speaks to me in the past few months, and when I do address him, it's simply to insult him. Yet somehow he still doesn't get the message. He even tried to wish me a happy birthday while I was online two months ago. What does it take to tell someone to screw off?

hahaha public schools

oh man I am sooooo glad I'm done with 12th grade and earlier seriously

I went to a good public high school and I still hated it sooo much

Our high school didn't let you eat off-campus... although if you could leave for lunch I highly doubt it would've mattered because all the restaurants are about 5 minutes away and the lunch period was always disgustingly short (like, 25 minutes). It was also staggered and you had no say in when you ate, which was awesome the year I got the earliest lunch hour at 10:20 or something and didn get to go home until about 5:30 because I was a swimmer in high school. Awesome.

At least it was better than middle school. Lunch was FIFTEEN MINUTES and then the other 15 was spent going outside. You had no choice in the matter, you HAD to go outside unless the weather didn't allow it. And it wasn't like you really played or anything, most of the time was spent standing in lines. No really, they forced you out of the lunchroom about 5 minutes after the last person got their lunch (never bothered me, I brought my own) so you could stand in a line for 15 minutes in what was sometimes 35 degree weather. Probably their way of circumventing state excerising mandates. Even more awesome.

CONCLUSION: Life is waaaaay better after high school. Of course, I'll be starting my first "real" 9-5 type job in my field of study in about 2 and a half weeks so I'll get back to you on the post-college veracity of this statement.

Also my computer suddenly started lagging randomly for about a half second at a time and sometimes characters that I type just won't appear, and it's really really obnoxious.

Our high school didn't let you eat off-campus... although if you could leave for lunch I highly doubt it would've mattered because all the restaurants are about 5 minutes away and the lunch period was always disgustingly short (like, 25 minutes). It was also staggered and you had no say in when you ate, which was awesome the year I got the earliest lunch hour at 10:20 or something and didn get to go home until about 5:30 because I was a swimmer in high school. Awesome.

At least it was better than middle school. Lunch was FIFTEEN MINUTES and then the other 15 was spent going outside. You had no choice in the matter, you HAD to go outside unless the weather didn't allow it. And it wasn't like you really played or anything, most of the time was spent standing in lines. No really, they forced you out of the lunchroom about 5 minutes after the last person got their lunch (never bothered me, I brought my own) so you could stand in a line for 15 minutes in what was sometimes 35 degree weather. Probably their way of circumventing state excerising mandates. Even more awesome.

CONCLUSION: Life is waaaaay better after high school. Of course, I'll be starting my first "real" 9-5 type job in my field of study in about 2 and a half weeks so I'll get back to you on the post-college veracity of this statement.

Also my computer suddenly started lagging randomly for about a half second at a time and sometimes characters that I type just won't appear, and it's really really obnoxious.

Oh man, that's nothing compared to my high school. We have to wait in the blistering cold every morning just so people can get scanned, one by one, you can't leave at all to a restaurant, (I think they even have sniper towers for that lol), lunch is longer, but the food is disgusting and over-priced and under-cooked, everything is dusty, if you touch a pencil that was on the floor for a second you might catch a cold, we only have about a minute for passing-time, and I usually have to walk across the school to my next class and when I'm late I get sent to detention, we've had a couple stabbings,  my bus is a piece of crap that broke down about 7 times this month and April,  and we have to share text books with two other kids because my school is too poor to afford more textbooks, but apparently they can afford a couple wide-screen T.V.s in the teacher's lounge.

We had a couple of stabbings too. We don't get scanned, but they check to make sure everyone has an ID, and they send you home if you don't have one.

I am strongly anti-school.

And for some strange reason, people dislike me because of that. They dismiss my "odd" opinions as the "average teen rebel", completely ignore what I have to say to defend my opinions, then disappear, claiming they are superior to me. Saying people like me have no future seems to entertain them.
It sickens me. I'm watching society fall apart because of compulsory schooling; a single letter predetermines your future. School is not a place to learn. School is a place where you are trained to obey.
Real learning isn't memorizing a set of answers for a test. Real learning is something you do on your own.

I am labeled as an anarchic, cynical, evil, lazy person with no respect for anyone.
I am saddened by that.

I haven't watched AVGN in quite awhile. Not exactly dial-up friendly. I think the most recent episode I've seen was for Bugs Bunny's Birthday Blowout. And speaking of that game, I recall Wayne getting it (he has a terrible habit of buying random junk), but he could never even get it to work. Probably for the better, huh?

Edit: Okay. So I just checked the site. The most recent one I've seen was Halloween. That alone should tell you that I haven't been watching in awhile...

My grades are all over the place. While I'm averagely mediocre at Spanish, never go below a 90 in theatre, and it's nearly impossible to do poorly in gym, my other grades fluctuate wildly. At the beginning of the year, I sucked at science, rewled at history, was pretty good at math, and mediocre at English; now I'm at a 97 in science, a ~70 in history, a ~65 in math, and a 101 in English (I kid thee not).

FIRST SEMESTER ONLY
Cooking - D F D
Internet Applications - C F A
Lifetime Sports - F F F
Adult Living - C C B
Dance (yes, I took dance) - C F B

SECOND SEMESTER ONLY
Nutrition - D ? ?
Cardio - F ? ?

Real learning isn't memorizing a set of answers for a test. Real learning is something you do on your own.
I've thought of that before too. Unless you really do like the subject, you're going to force yourself to swallow the information, and know it. But why? So that you can pass a test and forget it all immediately afterward. What's the point? If we'd really learned anything, there'd be no need for review before finals, no need for a practice test before the star testing.

That doesn't mean I think school is all bad. The basics are vital, of course. I learned the simple, stone age HTML I know in school, and I remembered nuclear chemistry because that was cool and interesting. I could pass tests on those topics without cramming. I remember some History, especially since it's fun to tell "In Capitalistic America..." jokes with a Russian accent. Most of it is for backing yourself up in a political deathmatch, however.

Maybe twelve years really isn't all that long. This is for learning what everyone "needs" (using that term lightly, half the stuff in Algebra 2, I'll never need to know) to know, and then it's time to focus on what you like. My main disapproval with the school system lies in homework, though. School should be where you study. Home is where you remove your shoes and socks, sit down and drink Kool-Aid.

Well, it depends on how you define anthropomorphomasizimafied cat.

Person dressed as cat: Eeew.
Hawt lady dressed as cat while maintaining semblance of hawtness: Less eeew.

Post by: Insane Steve on May 22, 2008, 08:52:11 PM
Ok, thread catching up from like 4 pages:

Like I said, my high school was really good, and my middle school just had a control complex. I'm almost certain I'd hate any K-12 education that wasn't fairly liberal with what the students could do and also engaging. There aren't any schools like that around where I grew up, though, so c'est la vie. No stabbings, but the person who picked on me mercilessly in 2nd grade killed himself in 8th grade.

On the topic of reviews of bad games, I'm writing a list of "100 NES games worse than Deadly Towers" just for fun. Deadly Towers (while flawed) isn't nearly as bad as everyone says it is. That said, I'm not posting it here because there's a lot of M-rated humor and profanity in the text. AVGN is hilarious, by the way.

In before Insane Steve begins to rant about reverse sexism in the world.

Also, I did not go to prom despite having a ticket. I blew it off to play with my new GCN controller, which I admit is an utterly pathetic motive. I'll be sure to have an awesome lie for my prom buddies come monday.

Na, this is so disgustingly standard that I have nothing more to say about it. All I know is that I'm never getting married and if I ever have a daughter I am never touching her for any purpose whatsoever. That said, why would you have a gun in your pocket when you have sex?

I think I'm more disturbed at the "90% or better" post on the same page. Negative reinforcement for not getting grades is the most pointless idea ever. I took a time series exam in a horrible frame of mind eariler this semester and got a 90% on what should have been a slam dunk 100% exam. With that much variation in possible scores depending on mood, demanding a 90% is ludicrous.

As someone who went to an anime convention last weekend.. catgirls are not furries. If that were the case then like 60% of the people in the convention center would be furries, and that's too many furries in one area. Also for an anime convention I'm not exactly sure of how I saw one person total better at DDR than I am.

That's about all, really. My computer is still lagging when I type, and my meds are juuuuuuust about kicking in so I'm not pulling any more angry rants.

The internet in my house sucks.

I'm annoyed because my laptop won't hold the internet reception in my household well. It keeps "timing out" and losing the connection and then coming back in, so if I'm watching a YouTube video it will suddenly stop loading, or if I load to a new page it will not respond. I keep going up to the router list and re-clicking the router we're using in order to get a short burst of download, which will only last for a few minutes before timing out again. A new router was purchased a few days ago, but still every computer in the house loads fine except mine. It was working fine while at school, so I don't understand why the internet here has a problem with my laptop.

Even worse, I tried playing against Suffix and Bird Person in Mario Kart Wii, but I'm unable to get a connection with friends. I can play online just fine, but if I try to join a room I get "Connection Error" or if someone tries to join my room they get it instead. It worked fine when I was playing Vidgmchtr at college, so I have to wait until I'm back at school again in order to play against friends. Don't know how SSBB works yet.

This is very very important.

Okay, I feel like I'm in a nightmare. It may be hard to think this is true, but my entire computer display is upside down. Everything. I'm writing this upside down. Even the mouse is reversed. All I was doing was searching on revver, then the screen went black, and the next thing I knew, the screen was upside down. I don't know if this is a virus or if it's a glitch. Whatever this is, it's creepy and I would appreciate help. I am not kidding. Thanks for the help

Well, you could try unplugging your monitor or modifying some display settings to see if it could get refreshed.

After doing some Googling, here's an idea:

1. Try pressing Ctrl - Alt - Up (arrow)
2. See if you can find a Graphic Options dialog (via right clicking on the desktop?)

You're running XP, right?

I finally  have a new job, and there's a more than slight chance I could become manager at this place. The trouble is I work with high school kids who don't seem to want to work.. they either

- not show up
- call in all the time

It is beyond me how a couple of them still have a job here, except that we are lacking in the help department (we need more people to work). One thing that can be said for them, though, is that when they do work, they are friendly to the customers, and they help me out with a lot of things (they have been here longer, after all). They know I came from Burger King, and one of them even said he would never be able to work in such a place, because it's so busy. I remember thinking similar things when I was in high school..

No part of this post is meant to offend any high school kids that happen to read this. I assume that most of the people here would be good workers, if/when you have a job..

I've got something to ask.

Why do women like candles?

(https://themushroomkingdom.net/board/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fphotobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv355%2FVidgmchtr%2Ffirecouch.jpg&hash=1d3feb75a39c733e318ba6015d5d0fe6)

This is a picture of our couch. That's not dirt on the arm, that's the ashes of what was a blanket that was destroyed by a lit candle. They've been seared onto the arm, pretty much.

This all happened literally about 15 minutes ago. I had just gotten out of bed, and started to browse the internet...then wondering "ugh...what smells like burning leather...must be the couch." Not a minute later, I hear screams for getting buckets of water downstairs. I open my door, and surely enough, a whole lotta smoke enters my room, and is still escaping through my window as we speak.

...Though I guess there might be a good side to this, the smoke and airborne ash was able to turn all the hidden spider webs black, so they'll be easier to find and clean.

(https://themushroomkingdom.net/board/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fphotobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv355%2FVidgmchtr%2Ffireweb.jpg&hash=fa5b258c988741ebe7dd6aa74aebabe5)

We're thinking one of the cats might've knocked the candle over.

What a way to start the day. =3

(Better pictures will come later.)

Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!

If it's .zip, XP and Vista should open it automatically; then find the Extract All Files button while it's open. If it's something else, like .rar, for instance, you'll probably have to download a program for it. WinAce works for most things, and you can download a free 90-day trial (which actually continues operating indefinitely after the 90 days are up... or so I hear...) from somewhere on the interwobs. If I was on an actual computer now, I'd find their site in another tab and link you to it, but I'm on a Wii.

I downloaded the album from this site (http://gamemusic4all.com/heavytroopa.html) (maybe you've heard of it, maybe you haven't. If you have--and have successfully downloaded it, help me out here) onto a laptop running XP. It is referred to as a "WinRAR ZIP archive".

Well... that's possible, now that you mention it. It stopped at 93%, though I can't imagine why. Besides, why would it show up as a folder if it wasn't done? (the file's symbol is a manilla folder with a zipped zipper going up it)

The cabin that Nicky and I were going to go to for our honeymoon is going under some renovations, and the man who owns it (who also happens to be my boss at the new job) told us this yesterday, after knowing for about a month that we are getting married Saturday and borrowing his cabin for the weekend (though not anymore).

He told us this yesterday and we are getting married Saturday. Saturday! 4 days from when he told us, the same week as the wedding!! We have little/no time to change plans, and we are already under enough stress, making sure we have enough money and making sure we have everything planned out.

I hope that if it's something we've already paid for, he refunds us. I've sort of lost track of things that we've bought/paid for for the wedding.

I would like to thank the two black women that came to the place where I work and placed an order, than were extremely rude. The first woman kept adding things to her order, then deciding she wanted two pecan bons, two drinks, ect. She paid for hers, everything was fine.

Then, an old man just wanted a large cup of coffee. I turned to get him his coffee, and was already in the process of making it when I hear from behind me "Excuse me, I was next. I didn't turn around immediatley (still making coffee), then I hear, a little louder "Excuse me, but I was next!" I gave the man his coffee, he paid, and he went to sit down.

The second black lady (who had been fine 10 second before) then started into me.. "You know I was next, right?! I was standing her before that man!" Well ok, but she hadn't ordered yet.

"I'm sorry ma'am. Can I help you?"
"You do understand that I had been next?! I want.."

She had a serious attitude with me, so I had one back.
"Yes ma'am I am aware of what the word next means."

Now, her friend had been watching this the whole time, and then while the 2nd lady paid, the first lady said to me, "Let me give you some advice, when you encounter a situation like that, it's usually customary to say Is it ok if I take his order before yours?, instead of just taking it like you did.."

It took all my will power not to roll my eyes at her. Yes, I did take one order before hers, but she hadn't even said she wanted to order yet. She was just standing before the register, not speaking and still looking at food, so I do not feel like I was in the wrong.

I would also like to thank my co-workers. If they had been with me today, that little scene may not have taken place, but since the one guy got off at 3, and the guy who was supposed to come in at 3, but instead went to get work done on his vehicle, I was behind all afternoon. It wasn't until a girl friend of thiers came in and asked where he was that he finally showed up (after about 20 mintues).

He was there long enough for me to run to the food court, get a piece of pizza, bring it back to the store, and sit in the back and eat. Then he left. He'd barely been there an hour. If one of our bosses hadn't shown up at about 7:15, I would have been too far behind and possibly closed the store early, for being so far behind.

The only positive thing about today is that I picked up my paycheck, and I left them a pile of dishes. Dishes that wouldn't have been there if someone had been there to help me today. AAaarrgghh!

- Religion is slowly brainwashing people
 

OMG religion is going to destroy the world!!!!!1

Religion has been around for a long time kiddo. If it's "slowly brainwashing" people as you say, then it's been doing it for thousands of years. Let people believe what they want to believe and don't be a jerk to those who *gasp* think differently than you.

I honestly don't see why atheists want to complain about religious people. Will it change them? Absolutely not. On the other side, I don't see why religious people (namely Christians) want to try and convert atheists. Will it change them? Absolutely not. People choose what they want to believe and then try to get others to believe the same thing by calling their beliefs "brainwashing" or "hopeless" or "stupid" or whatever. It's both childish and pointless to try and change someone by calling their current beliefs stupid because people are rooted in that belief and will change under their own accord (if they do at all). It's a waste of time to try and spread the word about the other side and how "horrible it is" because you're only pleasing those who think like you.

Also, people who don't go to school are actually the people who have screwed up society. Saying school is "ruining your life" is just a horrible excuse to whine about something you have to do to succeed in life. But instead of actually working hard at it, people choose to complain. Sadly, because this country has a huge dropout rate, society will continue to get worse.

One of the only reasons I like school is it makes me feel better about myself. I mean, if I went to some East Coast preppy place, I might feel a bit dim and redneck-y (I am hardly either, but it's all in comparison), but here... from 7:50 to 2:30, Monday through Friday, I'm surrounded by potheads, pregnant fifteen-year-olds, and emos who dress like Nazis--and I walk out feeling as normal as heck.

I'll agree that global warming is mostly hype, but it's necessary to create this crazy idea, because it's the only way that most American buffoons will become environmentally friendly. They need some big words and baseless charts. And nobody wants no technology, it's just the question of whether we need to drive a huge car to something a few blocks away.

Okay, this is weird.

I finally got my Wii fixed, slapped in SSBB, giggled at the opening and made a new controller configuration. It worked fine, so I go to play classic in solo mode. I press A and...

it switched back to the default! I went back to the control menu, and saw it saved my options, but I can't use them in the main game! What do I got to do? I saved it to my Wii remote and console, but it doesn't work. I'm using the classic controller.

Kinda, yeah. The animal the whale eats will overpopulate since there is nothing to stop it from reproducing (except maybe humans, but there's only so much we can do) and the animal that ate the whale won't have any more food. The ecosystem loses it's balance, environment over. Every animal plays a part, from large whales to tiny bees (without bees, no one would pollunate our flowers and we'd be in big trouble).

Plus, do you really want the whales to die off?

At the beach, there's this bluff. It's like a hill, but at an 80 degree angle. It's over 100 yards from top to bottom.
I decide to run up the hill.
Near the top, I realize I won't make it. So I make my way down. I lose control and start running, reaching a top speed of at least 15 MPH (or so my friends said). All I remember is hitting my face against a tree branch and landing face-first in a bush.

(For those wondering, I did it before and made it, so I thought I could do it again. It turns out I was thinking of a different hill, which was very close to the hill I hurt myself on.)

My daughter is teething, was ill this morning, and wouldn't eat.  It's awful knowing someone is in pain and that you can't do anything about it except give medicine and hugs.  Before leaving to get my car fixed I tried searching my computer and backup drives for digital pictures of me for the caricature thread, but still the only one I had was of me playing guitar over a decade ago.  Arrgh.  Since I'm the one taking most photos I'm not in any of them.  I guess I'll either take some looking in a mirror or illegally scan some professional pictures.

I had to take my car to the dealer for service, alignment, and a windshield.  On the way I got pulled over by a cop and was given a ticket for the broken windshield.  At the dealer I find out that it will be nearly $900 for everything, they won't have my car ready until late Monday, and I had to wait over an hour for a shuttle to bring me home. 

When I get home I see a DHL express envelope, but it only has one of the three transcripts I'd paid over $50 to order and have rushed to me.  I emailed the service that the transcripts are ordered through and they said they couldn't help me and that I had to deal with my school's registrar office, but my local school doesn't have a registrar office and told me to use the service I'd order through.  I call the service and they were defensive (probably wasn't their fault now that I get the whole story) and gave me a number to my school that turns out to be no longer valid.  I call another number and after several messages, buttons pressed, and transfers finally get someone who will send the missing transcripts.

This reminds me to check on a meeting I need to plan our move around, but don't have the date of.  I check my email, but instead of a reply with the time and dates I see it was bounced back.  I'd called yesterday and was told to call back, but was too late because of the time difference.  I try again today, but it seems everyone is gone for the fourth.  This whole supposed moved has been a huge pain.  We don't know for sure if we are moving or when it may happen.  It's been frustrating having to tell my current employer I will probably be leaving, but will not resign until I know for sure.  We already had to let go the person I wanted to take me place.  Until we get official orders from the government we can't put our house up for sell, contact movers, etc.  I've already secured a job in the new location, but can't sign a contract until/if we are ordered to move.  And moving will be a pain with two cars, a toddler and two cats going across the Midwest (read Death Valley) about 2500 miles in the middle of summer.  Getting my paper work for that state is hard because so much has to be done in person there, and many of the things I need were destroyed and no longer available from the institutes that I earned them.  I've already had to pay several hundred dollars to retake a test I'd already passed.  There are others to take too since every state seems to have their own literacy test even though I've done excellent in two states already. 

Now back on track, I start tackling some work around the house.  I have to replace some flashing on my cabinets, but the new tiny curved pliers set I need to straighten the tiny nails is a nearly impossible to open package that takes me several minute, a lot of frustrations (I'm getting a headache at this point), and nearly causes me to cut off my left thumb.  I straighten the nails and reapply the piece, but it's still lose and I don't have any more of those god-awful tiny nails. 

I decide to ignore the spot on the garage ceiling that needs fixing due to water damage because I realize that my headache could be in part because all I had for breakfast was an energy drink and some snack bars.  I search, but all we seem to have is more snacks and a small steak that supposed to be for tonight.  This is frustrating because I spent nearly $200 at the grocery store just last weekend.  Which reminds me that my car had went form about 40 mpg to about 31 mpg which is one of the reasons it's in the shop, but I forgot to tell the clerk that.  So, I guess it is a FRS and dark chocolate for lunch. 

I'm going to play SSHD now.  I'll deal with pictures and other chores later.

One of my friends (and co-star of the last play I was in) posted on his myspace that he was going to commit suicide. It's really been bothering me all day. He won't answer any texts or calls or messages. His girlfriend (my other good friend) is devastated. He was always a person who got frustrated easily. He was hard-working, though, and a good friend. I'm very worried.

I sincerely hope he doesn't. If you can, try and talk to him in person about it; you can never be too sure when dealing with suicide threats.

I hear ya.

As for me, I've been having a pretty crappy year overall. A brief run-down...

Jan: Just about the only decent month.
Feb: Started off fine, but then some people betrayed me.
Mar: Peeps ticking me off. Had a nasty cold.
Apr: Parents were at the hospital all month so I had no choice but stay at home the entire time.
May: See April.
Jun: Got kicked out of my house for a few weeks.
Jul: I know we're only a week in, but it seems like another friend is being less than honest with me.

I wish more people would bring their screaming kids up to the mall. We have an area right in front of where I work (where I am until about 9pm nearly every night) that has those little rides that kids can.. ride. The parents often come to me for change even though there is a change machine right there..

The kids are the worst I've ever seen. They scream if they can't get on a ride, they scream if they are on the ride, and they scream when it's over. A lot of these parents are just letting the kids do whatever, and it's really driving me up the wall because I can't tell them to tell their kids to act better.

The only good thing that I've seen is this mom that told her kid no because he'd already been on the same ride twice, but that was nearly a week ago.

EDIT: I just wanted to add that I hate those roller shoes (or whatever they are called.. shoes with wheels). I often want to stick my foot out or throw a stick in front of them to make those stupid kids trip up. Firstly, they shouldn't even have them on in the mall. It scuffs the floors (I heard a nice lady from maintenence complain about them), and causes people to have to move faster to avoid you. Secondly, if you want to move faster, you jog or run. I don't know who invented these roller shoes, but I want to go back in time and throttle them.

If/when I ever have kids, they are not having those roller shoes. They will walk/jog/run just like everybody else.

I once saw a kid run directly into a trash can on those shoes, and it was too funny. I actually like those shoes just because they present the opportunities to see stupid kids hurt themselves, and I hope they remain popular for a long time.

TELL AN ADULT.

Personally, I have angst because my parents are going to split up soon.  Probably by fall, when I leave for college.  They've been together for about twenty-five years, but they've had on-going problems with each other my whole life.  I guess divorce was never a rational decision with five children, but now that we're all growing up and leaving... well, I'm just tired of everything.  Crying mom, yelling coming from downstairs, months of silence... it's kind of funny, I always told myself that I will never get married because I don't want to end up like my parents, but it seems I will end up just like them if they divorce: single and lonely.

Also, I'm bisexual.  I hate to admit it, but I can't do anything about the way I am.  It's been a long adolescence of denial and prayer, but really, I'm just stuck.  On the other hand, I'm not much of a sexual person to begin with, and I don't just get crushes on people left and right.  If you're against sexual deviancy, don't tell me it's wrong, I don't ever plan on doing anything like that now or in the future.  I'm still Christian (even though I don't go to church much anymore).

Finally, I don't know what I'm going to do with my life.  My old dream was to join an improv school after college and get onto Saturday Night Live, but now I'm doubting my chances and talents to the point of losing any direction in the future.  My declared major is going to be Creative Writing, and I don't think I'd go anywhere with that, but I don't know what other major I could possibly pursue.  I'm worried I'll go nowhere in life, unable to support myself or use my full potential in anything.

What's wrong with being bisexual? You get to enjoy the best of both worlds. That would rule.

I kinda wish I was, since I can't seem to connect with any girl on a personal level. Other than getting stuck in the friend zone, and even then, I'm just that guy who you sort of know, recognize his name, but still don't know a thing about his character.

Markio, you make it sound as if you've got some sort of incurable disease. Sexual preference is nothing to be upset with yourself over, regardless of what other people say. Unless, of course, you're robosexual. Then there's a problem.

Mr. Wiggles, I wish I could give some non-cliched advice, but you should just wait and see. Once you feel there's something, y'know, going on (person has no current boy/girlfriend, and shows signs of affection toward you a bit more than just friendliness), be as impossibly nice to that person as possible. That's sort of it.

I have ANGST because the only real problem I ever had with XP -- the computer downloading updates and automatically rebooting if I don't get to it in time to stop it, while I have unsaved files open -- has clearly not improved one bit with my new Vista computer. Stupid freaking Microsoft. But what gives me even more angst is that I can't find anyone else on the internet complaining about it. I mean, seriously, am I the only person in the world who leaves the computer on for more than ten minutes at a time when I'm not sitting in front of it?

I don't want to turn off automatic updates. I like the convenience of the computer downloading its own updates. I just want it to let me reboot when I dang well want to.

This might be even more annoying than how YouTube videos automatically play, so if I want to open several at a time and let them load in the background while I look at other stuff, I have to go to all the tabs, wait until it's loaded at least one second, and manually pause them. And it's even more annoying now that they've removed the "stop and return to beginning" button. And I also miss the "view in original size" button. I mean seriously, what kind of update is this? They remove half the functionality and I still can't move the scrubber less than ten seconds at a time, and the only benefit is that a handful of randomly selected videos can have 10% more resolution and take twice as long to load. And the original angst is compounded by that time I found a guy who sounded like he had a solution. It was a script that stops them from loading. That doesn't do me any good. I don't have a 8 gigabit per millisecond connection here. Videos take a while to load. I want to open them in tabs in the background, let them load while I read stuff, and then come over to them a while later and watch them all. Hasn't anyone out there written a Greasemonkey script that automatically pauses them? I wish I knew the first thing about coding stuff, because then I'd make it myself.

Coincidentally, I have angst because so many companies think using YouTube is too unprofessional, and have to embed their videos on their sites with their own proprietary, much slower stuff. Especially the ones that don't let you load the whole video, but instead only give you two seconds at a time and expect you to stream the whole thing in real time.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Ultima Shadow on July 09, 2008, 03:08:58 AM
Well, you can tell Vista to download updates but not install them (which should lead to no restart until you want it to, though admittedly quite a bit later and after they've installed) by going to the Windows Update screen (which should be found just above Accessories if you have the new-style Start Menu enabled), clicking on "Change Settings" on the left hand side, and select the second option down. I'm thinking it should work for all versions, though I use Ultimate so I'm just basing it off that.

I can sympathise with your Youtube Angst, though.

Also; I have ANGST because I can't seem to get the perfect balance on my 98 install between using as much RAM as I can (1536mb) and being able to use real-mode DOS in my installation without it telling me there's not enough memory. I just need to edit some stuff the right way... but I have no idea what that right way would be. xP

Something is bugging me.

The more and more I read about others' opinions of Nintendo, the more aloof I feel. I used to feel like a big gamer back then, but I feel only like a casual gamer, as if it's not a big part of my life anymore. I feel happy for Nintendo's decision to expand the video game market by "reaching out," but the people around me (here) are all upset and angry. If something brand new comes, it's never addressed as "good." Even as a new feature or simply an interesting improvement. It's all "why didn't they just make this then" or "ew, Wii BLAH, I want to see a new Zelda NOW." Maybe it's because I'm easily satisfied. With all the games out there already (Mario Galaxy, Brawl, Zelda:TP, Wii series) I would think that a person would be able to enjoy what's available for now instead of immediately looking to the distant future for something better. Yes, I do hope for a new Mario or a new Zelda at some point, but I shouldn't ache over every moment it isn't shown, or every single feature that could've been. IMO, that's not what being a gamer is all about.

My wish was that I wanted someone to just play alongside me. Not to win against them or anything to show off my skills, but to play. Before the Wii, most of my video game experience has been utterly alone. It sadden me. No one around was ever interested. Now almost everyone in my family owns a Wii and wants to play, and I feel happy. If Nintendo's main goal was always to reach out to the hardcore audience, yes, more "awesome cool" games would come, but I would be destined to be alone.

As a final note, I look forward to both Wii Music and Wii Sports Resort, as well as Animal Crossing. And on the Wii MotionPlus and the WiiSpeak: if they're adding them just now, cool. Better late than never.

There are already two games supporting the Mario/Zelda franchises released. I don't even understand the unsatisfactory replies made to the things Nintendo is releasing.

These forums allow people under 13 to join so long as they can provide the necessary COPPA paperwork. I suspect Wiiplayer99 was banned for overall immaturity.

Cool, deciding that people don't have much of a future is my favorite reason for banning ever.

As for the second part of that, why not start anticipating the next Mario and Zelda titles?  It's not that the current ones are necessarily unsatisfying, but there's no reason to believe they're at the end of the line, and it's never too soon to speculate at how much new awesome there will be in it.  Even with software development, they're often working two major versions ahead of the latest stable release.

That wasn't my reasoning. My reasoning wasn't mentioned. It was just a certain way of getting to the point of my reasoning. If I wanted to go into detail on my reasoning that would have more accurately been defined as my reasoning.

Anyhow, my second argument was on the impatient waiting for the next big Mario/Zelda titles. Anticipation is fine, but not when you're complaining that it hasn't come out yet... after there are already titles released from not too long ago. That would be all I meant to say in my post. Perhaps it was some bad wording. Because I'm good at that.

I have a few things I need to talk about.

1: Lost and Learned
Have you ever lost a game that had a part you couldn't beat? Then later, you find out how to beat the part you couldn't before? I lost my copy of Digimon: Battle Spirit about 5-6 years ago. I couldn't beat the last fight when I had it. A few years after that, I found out how. Needless to say, something hates me, and it's not Jesus.

2: Wii: WANTZ IT
I want a Wii, but my parents can't afford it. It doesn't help that I know someone younger than me that has one. And I mean 3-4 years of difference. Even WORSE, Wal-Mart never has them in stock! ... ... ... ... Does anyone know what time Wal-Mart opens? >:)

There's nothing wrong with arguing. Bickering is bad, but arguing, done rightly, is just two or more sides with opposing views logically discussing an issue. And for what it's worth, the war and abortion topics here were by far the most civil such discussions I've ever seen on the internet. If there was a problem with people spouting meaninglessly about things they don't understand (which I didn't see much of at all), maybe the thing at the top of this page has something to do with it.

Besides, at least every week or two we get a new user (or not so new) spouting meaningless garbage about video games they don't understand, and we don't ban video game discussion.

I have ANGST because my copy of Firefox (v3.0.1 for XP SP3) is using quite frankly stupid amounts of memory and CPU (50mb-150mb of RAM) and making my other programs (which usually consist of Windows Live Messenger and Media Player 11, which usually don't cross over 50mb of RAM used) lag horribly. Worse still, the tips I see on the internet to stop this problem don't even apply to my copy of Firefox, it seems; I don't see any of the settings they specify to change when I try to change them.

I am so sick of reality shows. We just got through watching the Design Star on the Home and Garden channel, then we switched over to the Food Network to watch the Next Food Network Star.

Whatever happened to just good old sitcoms and other shows? The only things on are either reality tv or CSI (I like the latter, fyi). It's no wonder more people are buying DVD's instead of watching tv. It's times like this that I don't particularly miss having cable.

It's also no wonder I play games all the time..

I agree. When I grew tired of watching reruns of cartoons there was nothing good waiting for me on the other end. It's all malicious, hateful contestants scheming against team members or dancing for money. Commercials don't help. The only thing I enjoy watching is this new game show called Wipeout. But I never watch TV alone anymore. No reason I'd want to.

I've only seen a few interesting, original shows on television in the past few years. Each show seems to be a near replica of one I've seen before. Where has the creativity gone? What we need is something so apocalyptically insane that it works, like a show about a team of female welders that move to a pharmacy in the sky together and make a living by selling prescription drugs to angels. What's the catch? Diamantrius the Demon appears in each episode, disguised as an angel, only because he wants to abuse pills. The show could stay interesting by having episodes where, for example, the female welders travel down to hell to slay Diamantrius, or there could be side-plots involving the angel customers. Right there, in about a minute, I created a show more awesome than 99% of all existing shows. Is there a producer in the house?

The plot can be crazy as all crap, but the structure that you described sounds exactly like Charmed.

There should be a network for just sitcoms that that all the other networks can focus on real shows. Sitcoms only qualify as a TV show in that they appear on TV and are shown to you.

Well, that would work out well.

You realize that's exactly what TiVo and OnDemand are for right?

Also there are plenty of shows with different settings, structures and stories, the problem is many people don't branch out beyond what they're comfortable with and they end up cancelled before the season even finishes.

Is there any way to make Ctrl-Alt-Del in Vista just immediately open the Task Manager, like it did in XP, instead of going to that screen first? I find that the times I most need the Task Manager are when the screen-drawing guy inside of the computer goes AWOL, which means that screen doesn't get drawn, and I just get stuck there. Completely black screen except for the pointer, and no way to get out of it. I tried clicking everywhere and Alt-Tabbing out, but I just end up having to turn the computer off manually, which really isn't good. Especially when I have stuff open. So that's why I have angst.

Oh, and Turtlekid, I'm pretty sure I've found you funny before (though I can't remember specifics), so you can get offended.

My father is awful.

On the way to school one day (mind you, he never takes me to school but my mom really needed him to) he starts ranting at me. In the entirety of my life, I've argued with my dad only once. I'm the least argumentative out of all of my sisters. The most mellow. For no particular reason, he starts ranting about how we shouldn't associate with non-Muslims because they are "the enemy" and they "shudder" at the sight of my head scarf. How I shouldn't be acting on stage. How my sister is a bad influence on me. How he bets that I won't be Muslim when I grow up.

The last thing really got me. It wasn't the last thing he said but about the last thing I heard. It was insulting. It hurt. He said that when we grew up we probably were going to be "religion-less". I didn't say a word. As I was blocking out all the other hateful things he was saying, I caught how he was bashing on my mom and my sisters mom and saying how we should live with him.

It's impossible to live with him. The man doesn't even have hot water. He lives in a one bedroom (and yet incessantly talks about how his 5 daughters-who-aren't-grown should come live with him). He's never given my sisters and I anything. My mom takes care of us. She has taken care of me for my whole life, without his assistance.

And to top all of this off, my best friend was in the car with us the entire time.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Suffix on July 27, 2008, 12:30:46 PM
That's just absurd! The idea that all non-Muslims would "shudder" at the sight of traditional headwear is as asinine as the few that are deluded enough to do so!

His meaningless ramblings about your faith aside, I find it more disturbing that he tries to reason that the children he has "never given" anything should depart their decent lives with their mother to live in that tiny, utility-lacking place.

I really should be HOPEFUL with my stable family, even if my father calls me "guarded," "isolative," "internalizing," and addicted to gaming "...via prolonged dopaminergic activation in the limbic system" (why do people do anything, Doctor!? I've taken Intro to Psychology!) He's a clinical psychologist, by the way.

Post by: Glorb on July 27, 2008, 01:02:42 PM
I'm glad my family is mostly small and stable, but my dad's been really P'ing me O lately. See, he has a job as a lawn-care type guy, and I help him; he mows the lawns, and I trim and blow them off, so we both have a pretty much equal share of the work (unless it's a small house with a giant yard and only a couple of trees, in which case I end up doing about 10% of the work, but that almost never happens). But here's the thing: My dad gets payed per yard by the owners, while I get paid per day by him. So, regardless of my effort, I get paid $20 a day (usually around ten yards a day), while my dad gets from $40-$60 per yard. But lately, we've been getting a lot of rain, meaning we'd have to skip certain days and then do double work the next. That means I'm now doing two days' worth of work a day, but getting paid for one. My dad's not stupid, so I know he has to be doing this on purpose. Whenever I argue with him about it, he always compares me to my brother (who had, in the past, stolen from and ripped off my dad), which isn't the situation at all. And my mom just ignores the whole thing.

The last time I remember seeing them was at her mom's house about a week ago.. they were sitting infront of the sister's GC.

I don't want to voice it, but I'm pretty sure their dog did something with the cards. He's just a puppy, but they don't disipline him enough.

On July 30, 2008, the Governor of the RBZ, Gideon Gono announced that the Zimbabwe dollar would be redenominated by removing 10 zeroes, with effect from August 1, 2008. ZWD10billion will become 1 dollar after the redenomination.

RIP ZWD10bilion

I have angst because one day, I saw Robot Boy, and I wish I hadn't.  The show is an entire trainwreck!  The animation is very lazy and disgusting, none of the characters are likeable or memorable, and the action puts people to sleep.

I just had a tooth come out yesterday, which is really odd considering I'm 15 years old. Then again, my teeth have always grown in really slowly, but it's still weird.

ALSO: I'm a bit weirded out right now because Simon and Garfunkel's The Sound of Silence is stuck in my head. I love the tune, but it's so... haunting. And I have to go to sleep now. Next thing you know, I'll be dreaming about it.

It's well-known that Ivy's fighting style and backstory is based around her boobs. Trained since the age of 8 in the art of Boob Fu in the mountains of Mammarysia, Ivy uses her boobs to distract enemies in her fight for great justice.

Covering Ivy's boobs with more than dental floss is a grave injustice against her.

Well, it's no secret that Ivy's chest is a major point of discussion in the gaming community, both in terms of "what is this world/videogames/morality coming to?" and "man, I wish I could tap that". But, hey, it seems to me that, though it no doubt puts you at a greater risk for physical damage, if you're a female fighter, there's no better way to distract your opponent than to dress... like that.

Now, Taki... sometimes too much boob is enough.

My Game Boy Pocket still works like a charm and it's over 10 years old.

Rule of thumb 'round these parts: Keep that kind of thing to yourself (take it from me).

http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=19331

The above, ladies and gentlemen, is the textbook definition of "dumb". A nobody company that occasionally makes games under the table for other developers (http://www.1up.com/do/feature?cId=3156447)? That has the balls to complain about Nintendo being too good? Hey, third parties, here's how to make that not be a problem: Don't suck. Make less crappy games. I'm not that fond of Nintendo these days, but they must be doing something right or they wouldn't be outselling everything except food.

I was more just knocking companies that gripe about Nintendo being more popular than them. Of course, when you're the small-time developer equivalent of Otis Blackwell (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otis_Blackwell), then it's pretty much pointless to complain about that sort of thing. Also, the only game I remember (from that article) that they worked on was Super Princess Peach, which I'm sure I'll like just as soon as I lose twenty IQ points and my manhood.

I've got Angst because I foolishly assumed FFTA2 was going to be fair, which of course I shouldn't have. The laws still only work against you, and still screw you up, if you rely on the bonuses too much. And the Clan Trials are absolutely ridonkulous.

Basically, it's like Phoenix Wright. All the rules in the game are there to work in the favor of eveyone else except you, but at least that logic is followed the entire game.

I auditioned for my school's a cappella group, but I didn't make calbacks.  I guess I'm upset, but at least I can focus on more important things now.  Like getting a job, or joining something else.  Although I don't feel like joining something else now, you know?

It was another audition-only thing.  I'm sick of those, really.  Can't we all do what we enjoy instead of what we're professionally trained to do?  Wait, that sounds silly, doesn't it?  Like Bill Gates would rather throw a frisbee than create the internet.  He could probably do anything he wants now, though.  Shoot, I'm just mediocre.

I also can't change my desktop wallpaper, which is now permanently a link to a (I assume) malicious website, and Task Manager refuses to function, among other things. Strange things also keep popping up (for example, I just had to close Recycle Bin and the Firefox downloads window for some reason) and I am at my wit's end while I'm waiting for AVG to finish downloading. >____<

I has ANGST because of college. I'm taking a photography class, and the media room here only has four cameras to be borrowed, so I had to buy my own to have a decent chance of getting to use one. I'm taking an art class, and instead of having a course fee, you're just required to find supplies on your own (I don't remember reading about that in the course description). Among the things I'm supposed to buy for the first two weeks is a pad of unnecessarily large paper that normally retails for $30. I only have $60 in cash. I have $600 in college dollars, but virtually none of the required supplies are available on campus, and there's no uncomplicated way to turn college dollars into real money. I'm taking a literature class, and the bookstore forgot to order the required books. I'm taking a history class, and attendance is completely non-mandatory... except for the day that it ends ten minutes before my next class, five blocks away (and both on the third floors of their respective buildings). I went to Independence Hall today for a project for my fifth class. It rained a lot. My socks are still soaked through. And the tour there was pointless. Two rooms and then you leave. And no one ever even checked our tickets. We could have gone back in again if we wanted to. I guess there's still the internet, but that doesn't bring back the subway tokens I wasted. Speaking of which, it'll be a lot of fun carrying all those ridiculously oversized art supplies home on the subway. By myself. Of course, I doubt I'll actually be able to afford all of them. Where do normal people get so much disposable income? I want to be normal.

I have ANGST because some person had conviced me to read this brief anime webcomic called "Nana's everyday life"

Seriously I don't know why I read the whole thing. I'm not even going to detail what it's even about, because it's just such a sickening story. The thing that irritated me the most was the person who recommended me to read the comic actually thought some points were humorous.

If you are reading this, I don't care how curious you are, DO NOT FIND AND READ THIS COMIC. It contains some of the most morally disgusting images I've ever seen, and once you see them, they'll be etched in your mind for good.

I read it ages ago. However, the reason I'm commenting on this is the fact that I'm reading Elfen Lied right now - if you thought that webcomic was bad, you'd absolutely hate the real thing (though Nana's life isn't nearly as sad in the manga as in the webcomic).

I read it and Slug is right.  It's the most perverted and disgusting comic I've ever read.  Now I can't get it out of my head.  If you decide to read it I highly reommend pressing the "delete browsing history" button after viewing.  I can't believe the guy who showed you that actually thought even a panal of that comic was funny, some people just have no taste for good humor.

You seriously think I'm sarastic about almost killing myself? Really? I am going to a shrink at some point. When, you know, I can actually find one that's accepting new patients. Which, at this point, is almost as hard as finding a financial firm that's actually hiring entry level.

It doesn't help that I've been too worried to take my antidepression meds until like a half hour ago.

Also, I'm for allowing all discussions -- just not for allowing them to turn into flamefests or hollow screaming at each other.

MushroomJunkie, I think you're just about the only one that has noticed that I don't have a place to go. Unfortunately, mom just doesn't get that concept and thinks that I can leave whenever I want. Never mind the fact that I applied for SSI and got denied.

Just for the record, I clean the house because I hate living in a pigsty and I expect nothing for my birthday. Just like last year.

Solution if you have access to any of these. If you live in a super rural area, then this will be harder, but you -do- have the internet.

1) Find a job. It doesn't have to be an amazing one, just something that can pay bills and such. Go to a local temp agency if all else fails. The economy is trash, though, so this may take longer than usual. You can also get two part-time job if a full-time position isn't obtainable.
2) Find an apartment. There's all kinds of listings for apartments where people need a last person to fill, say, a four bedroom or something. It'll probably run around 300-400 a month if you share and don't live in a place with an absurd standard of living.
3) Go.

Can you explain why you absolutely can't leave in a bit more detail if this plan is impossible?

Oh well, I was tired of eating Hot Pockets and instant noodles, and the prices for fast food in Long Beach are insane. I am not paying 10 dollars for 2 pieces of chicken ever again.

Come to think of it, didn't Deezer (or someone here) have a signature that said something along the lines of "I'd love to be in the same room as the person that needs to consult the microwave insturctions on a box of Pop-tarts." Mabey that was somewhere else..

I'm a little bit ticked at most of the people who work below me. Me and another person were supposed to work today, but she showed up and looked like she'd been sick. I told her to go home, and she stayed long enough for me to call someone else in.

This other person already had plans for today, but did come to the mall. She showed up long enough for me to do somethings that I otherwise wouldn't have been able to do alone, then she was gone. I've been here all day by myself, and while it hasn't been really busy (like it was the Saturday before Father's Day) it's been busy enough that I accidentaly burned a pan of stuff that had been cooking.

I hope nobody else asks for days off in the near future.. we are already close to firing one guy that we just hired. First he said he can't work weekends, then he said he could, and then he can't work this weekend because his mother is sick. If anybody else needs days off, they aren't going to get them, save for life threatening situations.

Sorry to double post..

I'm not trying to sound racist, but why are black people so picky? We've had several people today that wanted fresh packs. We don't usually make fresh packs unless we run out of other packs. The rolls are good for up to a week. This one woman stood there for ten minutes debating whether to get a pack or just a couple of rolls. She wanted me to give her four of them from the hot-plate, but if I do that, I have to charge for four individual rolls instead of a four pack.

She finally just gave up and got two of them, but complained the entire time about me not being able to give her what she wanted. I know the customer is supposed to be always right, but there are some things that I just can't do!

I don't know of any white people who are that picky, unless it's a white person trying to act like a black person. Again, I'm not trying to be/sound racist.

We don't actually keep them on the display for a week. We change them out after two days on the display.

What I don't understand is why Toad keeps working retail if he hates the abuse he has to put up with. There are plenty of other jobs out there that don't require having to deal with random people who buy your stuff on a daily basis. You mentioned you were attending college or something similar right? Why not see if you can find a job through them? They probably have some listings on their website or something.

I also witnessed a video so vile and pathetic that had me wondering how long society will keep catering to the most hyper-sensitive individuals. I am of course, talking about overgrown man-babies who have access to the internet. Video in question is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5O7HWBBbEGU (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5O7HWBBbEGU)

I was going to college, but not now. I don't know what I want to do, and have discovered that college just may not be for me. I may try again at some point in the future, but as of now, I see it as pointless, since I don't know what I want to do.

When I saw this (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/10/30/say-what-you-think-reggie-lays-into-disaster-day-of-crisis), my first reaction was an almost vocalized "what the hell?" Let's go over some ground rules for marketing here, as I'm apparently the only one aware of them:

-Do not hire the head of a pizza chain to be a prominent power in a major videogame company.

-Do not publicly call one of your own products "laughable" and "not worth $50".

-Do not announce a game at a console's inception, delay it inevitably, and then "maybe" release it worldwide when it's already finished.

-If you must violate all of the above rules, do not have the bulky, manly-looking pizza-head spend two years praising incredibly lame and childish games and then blatantly diss his own company's attempt at something that'll entertain a few more gamers than usual.

I'm not getting Disaster, but I know plenty of people want it. Besides, it's the principle that counts.

I actually consider this season of Family Guy to be quite a disappointment so far. Even for family guy it's bad. Simpsons in my opinion have been up compared to how they were let's say, 4 or 5 years ago.

This is exactly the way Nintendo wants it. Their primary market is non-gamers who'll buy the Wii, play Wii Sports or Wii Music or some other crap nongame for a while, and then let it collect dust. Sure, they'll churn out some quality stuff every now and then to keep the system from sinking, but they've settled into a cycle where 90% of their profit comes from minigame collections. Next they'll bully High Voltage into cancelling The Conduit, lest some no-name developer make money on their system.

WarpRattler's List of Recommended PS2 Games (note: he has not fully played some of these, but got a good enough impression from what he did play to suggest them; these games are marked with a single asterisk, and other people may want to give their opinions regarding them; also note that some of these games were also on the GameCube and you might already have/have had them so just ignore any of those suggestions if you do/did):

Katamari Damacy
Shadow of the Colossus*
Amplitude
Fantavision
Final Fantasy XII*
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King**
Disgaea: Hour of Darkness***
Gradius V
R-TYPE Final
Soulcalibur II (or III)
Viewtiful Joe
Resident Evil 4
Xenosaga*

**Only if you want a hardcore JRPG.
***I've actually only played the DS version. Depending on how you view extras such as touchscreen control, portability, Etna Mode (also in Afternoon of Darkness, the PSP version), and bonus bosses compared with drawbacks such as the smaller screen, you may want that version instead of the PS2 version. Either way, though, it's a good game.

Please note that I'm not recommending any games, such as DDR, Guitar Hero, or Taiko Drum Master, that require extra peripheral(s), regardless of whether they come with the peripheral(s) or not - many of these games are rhythm games, so if you don't like those, you don't need to worry about that. I'm also not recommending Kingdom Hearts, though I agree with Lizard Dude that you'd probably like it because of the content.

You may also be into Okami, if you're the Legend of Zelda type and haven't played it on Wii yet. You're an artist, right? You'd probably enjoy the game even more than I did.

Yes, that one will keep you busy and it's very fun (get the sequels, too).

I kinda like Final Fantasy X more than Final Fantasy XII. Also, I was not a fan of Rogue Galaxy. Shadow of the Colossus is indeed very excellent, to help bring proof to WarpRattler's list.

Haven't seen it myself, but from friends' accounts, FFX has the most underwhelming boss ever. I should probably finish it, but it's not really high on my list.
FFXII, on the other hand, I beat and loved all the way through.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: SolidShroom on November 06, 2008, 04:04:39 PM
FFXII is kind of an odd Final Fantasy game, since most games in the series are partly loved so much because of their stories and characters, but I'm really bored by FFXII's story. Its gameplay is alright though, even though it really doesn't feel like a traditional RPG.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Chupperson Weird on November 06, 2008, 04:13:02 PM
That's something my same friend and I discuss sometimes: The lack of people who appreciate FFXII's totally coherent story. I was amazed by how much sense it made, and didn't have a ton of random stuff happening to you for no apparent reason. This is a plus in my book.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: SolidShroom on November 06, 2008, 04:20:52 PM
I suppose I've just grown used to Final Fantasy stories that shovel random crap onto you all the time. I mean, yeah, FFXII is pretty coherent so far, but I think I enjoy beloved characters dying randomly, finding out all of one's memories are wrong, and crazy unexpected deceitfulness.

I'm pretty sure it's a screen from the Japanese version, which has been out since February, and not the North American version, which comes out on Tuesday; this would explain why there's a Famicom in the shot and not an NES (ditto for the Super Famicom).

That, or someone was a bit lazy with localization...

GameCyte: Whenever you put together a sport-game compilation on the Wii, the comparison that’s going to be made is to Wii Sports. What is it that differentiates Deca Sports?

Mike Pepe: We set out on Deca Sports, not to compete with Wii Sports, but to complement. Wii Sports comes with five titles, it ships with every Wii Console out there, and it really brings Wii players into the fold; it basically shows them what they can do on the system. What we offer here are ten new sports, completely new sports, with different challenges. You also have teams involved, so, for instance, there are eight different teams inside Deca Sports, each with different attributes, that you can play. So, this is for the more mature players that have “graduated” Wii Sports, and are moving on.
LOL mature Wii Sports graduates.

EDIT: Well, I've got a few things to get off my chest...

-The ShamWow (or however you spell it) ad is tremendously irritating. Yes, I saw it a while back and yes, I don't hate it, per se, but I had to let somebody know about this, dangit!
-I recently caught the ad for Animal Crossing: City Folk and I must say, I never get tired of feeling like a total fruit for owning a Wii.
-Oh look... (http://gonintendo.com/?p=62645) more no-name losers jumping on the "Nintendo rips off everybody so we deserve money" bandwagon. See my previous post about Anascape for my general feelings on this sort of thing.

They are a business and whether you like it or not, they found the key to success. It came at the expense of fanboys and the core audience of the industry, but fanboys will always complain and never leave them, justifying their position every time they come under scrutiny for buying the latest entry of one of their franchises. The core audience already abandoned them last generation, and are too busy playing Gears of War and running internet memes through the dirt to care.

Nintendo can talk about how economically savvy they are and how they offer “fantastic pocketbook value” but the truth is, spending $50 with Nintendo this holiday season gets you Wiimusic. While spending your $50 elsewhere can get you considerably higher quality titles like Resistance 2 or even Fable 2. Which, as a loyal Nintendo fan, makes me a bit upset.
This person took the words out of my mouth.
The last two holiday seasons, Nintendo launched a highly anticipated game that I could not wait for Christmas.  2006 had Twilight Princess, 2007 had Mario Galaxy, but this year, there is nothing that I'm overly hyped for.

Double introduction...that's what I did at the play.

So I thought it was my time to go on and introduce the play. I went up, introduced, got loud applause's. I got backstage and it ends up that the other play wasn't even FINISHED YET! You should have seen me. I was devastated. Crying. You would have thought the world was over. But, luckily, with a lot of help, I pulled myself together and I went onstage, made a joke of it, and reintroduced myself and my play.

Now, folks, Khadijah will go down in Inside Out history as the girl who introduced the play twice.

This is angst because I'm sure at the next mentor meeting I'll have a nickname reflecting this that'll stick with me for the rest of my life.

Umm... sure.

What is the point of wearing a tie without a suit and those ridiculous shirts with a fake tie on the front? Who started that ridiculous trend, anyway, Green Day? I really would like to know because you can't throw a rock in my school without hitting a bisexual, scene, goth, emo, and/or lookalike victim of a head-on collision between the tour bus of a hair metal band and a semi full of craft supplies who hasn't donned or stood near someone who's donned those. I have no problem with bad fashion trends as long as I can discern how one can theoretically find them interesting.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Bigluigifan1.0 on December 17, 2008, 08:48:48 PM
haha, if the only thing I could think of that started that trend was Green Day.

I don't know why people do it. It's probably just like all the other crazy fashion phases from any the other decade. I don't like the idea of looking like everyone else, so I don't like how so many people at my school like to dress up in the SAME DANG CLOTHES AS EVERYONE ELSE. It almost makes me feel like I'm at some kind of uniform school again... I just got out of one of those.

I also don't understand why it's important to buy a certain brand of clothing or you look like an idiot to other people. I buy clothes to wear, not to show off at some kind of fashion runway.

...I'm rambling. Oh well. I think that you can do that in this thread.

I have angst because of the Wii's s**ty memory system.  The only way I can get my Brawl save file to my SD card is to get Homebrew Channel, which I don't really want to resort to yet.  So I have to bring my entire freaking console to my friend's house, even though she already has one, JUST SO WE CAN DO CD FACTORY WITH MY SAVE FILE.  We didn't have to put of with this kind of crap with the GCN.  All we had to do was bring the memory card (and the game if your friend did not own a copy).  Sure, there were a few games that GCN couldn't move to the other slot, but it wasn't that much of an inconvenience.

I'd really rather I didn't have to read The Scarlet Letter over break. As I stated doubly the day a segment was first assigned, reading it ("The Custom House", at least) felt like having my brain dragged through thumbtacks and tar. The only thing that keeps me going (besides the prospect of a good grade, of course) is morbid curiousity over how someone could take "you did it with your not-husband? Here, wear this 'A'" and get a whole novel out of it.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Bigluigifan1.0 on December 23, 2008, 08:57:03 AM
haha, I'm done with it! I feel incredibly sorry for anyone that has to read it, unless you enjoyed it more than me. It was sort of interesting.

But my teacher told us to just skip "The Custom House." I can't remember what/if it contributed to the story. But those sentences are decades long... it's a very tricky book. Very hard to wrap your mind around it sometimes... especially when you get tested over some of the details you didn't think contributed to the story other than giving decent imagery.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: ShadowBrain on December 23, 2008, 09:34:28 AM
I honestly can't tell what it has to do with the story, either. Is it the author talking or some other guy? I mean, he finds the letter, so I'm guessing it's one of those Citizen Kane-esque backwards stories, but... I don't know; no more than I know who the guy's talking about! It sounds like he's obsessed with some old sailor dude, but I figure this is just one of those books where you miss one sentence and the following twenty pages make no sense. I think the reason it's difficult to read is because there's not a whole lot of nouns (Once again, in The Custom House, at least. I read the first, short, chapter, and it was a bit better).

On a separate note:

This is a new post, unrelated to my last.
I'm afraid that NOA and Reggie are killing the chance for awesome games to come out in America. Or maybe they just hate Monolith Soft. Case in point, Soma Bringer is by all accounts an amazing game for DS, and it had a huge release in Japan last February. I fear that the wave of money from casual gamers is somehow making them feel like they don't need to release good games here. Monolith Soft even went second party to Nintendo, and they don't even get games released in the USA now. I really wish they would have localized Soma Bringer, because this means I'll have to just get the translation patch, but they sure as heck better let Fragile get released here or I'll have to go up to Washington and knock some heads together. Although, maybe since Fragile isn't by Monolith Soft and would be released by Namco, I don't have to worry?

Post by: Glorb on January 06, 2009, 10:51:00 AM
I was psyched about Fragile until I realized it was an RPG. Nothing against RPGs, but I don't think that type of game would fit well into that type of play style. Might still check it out, though.

As the result of lots of snow the last month, the freezing level rising (*coughglobalwarmingcough*), and fairly heavy rain, it's flooding again.

I believe I mentioned this last year, but in case anybody forgot or didn't care in the first place there was a record-breaking flood 'round these parts in December of '07. Stores ruined, schools closed, homes (my grandparent's farm included) ravaged, the like. Now, a little more than a year later, it's back and threatening to be even worse. No one can say for sure what's going to go down, but predictions are not one, but four rivers could flood, hitting more places (like my dad's business/our "legal residence"--long story--which escaped unscathed last time, along with our out-of-town "country home' on a secure hill) harder than in, if not years, decades. School got out early, sandbags are already placed, and important items are in high places. We're staying "in town" for the time being, which is bittersweet because at least I have broadband wireless and am closer to friends/relatives.

Why can't my wife and I get into some games when they are popular? We recently started playing Pokemon Diamond/Pearl again, and now she wants to track down the GBA games so that we can migrate the others from past games. That's sort of the reason we stopped playing months back: I didn't want to spend more money just to finish my PokeDex. It won't matter in five years when a new Pokemon game comes out..

We did get LeafGreen and Emerald months back, but we've been playing the DS games more. I miss the Red/Blue generation, when there was the glitch to get a lot of any one item: I don't have but one rare candy, and I feel I wasted my Master Ball on Palkia. I've come across some tougher to catch Pokemon (Cressilia and Mesprit, but I did eventually catch both of them). But you know, when they put Palkia's picture on the box, I sort of thought he was going to be hard to catch..

If you're worried about spending money, I can loan-trade you any Pokemon you need (except Arceus)...

I have angst because the family computer died, and I lost the game I was working on.  I have to start from scratch with sprites, programming, level design, music, etc.  Plus I didn't download the bin2jpg program for Brawl Pics again until yesterday, which is why I didn't post my screens as soon as I wanted to.

Nah, he's busy attributing Take Two's failure to divine intervention.

**WARNING: SHADOWBRAIN BEING HIMSELF**

I grow weary of these lists telling me what games I should like in 2009. If you're interested in a title, you'll probably already be counting down the days until its release without Edge Online or GamesRadar page-hit-mongering with a combination of recycled hype and one screenshot per. Now, I like a list or two, if only to get collect my senses (and my money) before drafting a "To-Play" list, and I know it's important to keep up with the eJoneses, but it always smacks of having nothing better to write about in late December and, especially in the case of the Wii, scrounging to justify a console purchase. That being said, here's my minimally researched, just-to-get-it-off-my-chest analysis (I believe I've done this before) of some of the Games I'm Supposed to Care About in 2009:

Blue Dragon Plus
Obviously, I never played the original, but I heard that, despite Akira Toriyama's character design, it was meh. It (and its predecessor) could be good, but a blurrier sequel to a game that didn't interest me in the first place won't exactly find its way to the top of my DS games stack.

Cave Story
I've heard plenty of praise for this one, but I'd be more inclined to consider it if the developers spent less time blogging pics of less-ugly sprites and more not relying on the "it's indie so it must be awesome" mentality to buoy its sales. Good, great, or otherwise, though, my lack of perpetual Wi-Fi, the questionable cost (and difficulty of purchasing therein) of WiiWare, and the shrinking space in my Wiifridgerator means a game has got to be pretty dang good before I'll move the pointer over to "Download" (it doesn't help this one's case any that you can get, more or less, the same game for free on the PC).

The Conduit
With the graphics and overall nature of this game sending desperate Wii fanboys into epileptic fits of "I-told-you-so's", let me just step in and say that 1) It took six months to find a publisher and 2) How many people actually know what it's about? Granted, it could be great, but I'm not much of a shooter fan either way. In the end, I can't tell whether it's ironic or sad that this game is like that Coke bottle in The Gods Must Be Crazy: There's generic shooters out the you-know-what on the 360/PS3, but the minute one falls on the Wii the internets are ablaze with glee (and, if you've seen that movie, you know what happens to that bottle).

Deadly Creatures
Though Rainbow Studios may have threatened to go back to crappy minigame collections if this one tanks, I'm not biting. Fact of the matter is, it just looks like one of those unambitious titles a lame developer tosses out every blue moon to make themselves seem relevant. That alone isn't enough to [darn] it as a purchase, but premise is corny and, let's face it, it does not bode well when your game's main selling point is voice acting by Billy Bob Thornton. The final, albeit somewhat irrelevant, nail in the coffin: It reminds me way too much of one of those over-the-top fake games kids play on TV shows and movies (primarily, that one in the "Above the Influence" print ad that looks like someone wrote on an article).

Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop
First things first: My wallet and I have imposed a moratorium on any "Jr." ports of PS3/360 games. In this case, sure, some of the irksome features of the original have been fixed, and the core game is probably fine (nevermind the fact that the picture-taking feature has been nixed), but it's hard to say whether the feeling you get from buying a technologically inferior version of a four-year-old game is cheaper or costlier than buying the original and/or the console its on (I've neither).

Dragon Quest XI
As a fan of the series (I really couldn't tell you why, other than that I grew up with old copies of Dragon Warrior I, III, and IV and their countless fold-out maps), I'd definitely consider this one. However, with my experience with the series limited to (as seen in parentheses) perhaps-exaggerated childhood memories, a keen understanding of its power in Japan, and Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime, I may wish to give VIII et al a shot before I blow $30+ on a game for a system I don't use anymore.

Endless Ocean 2
So it's a sequel to a pointless game that was a spiritual successor to two other pointless PS2 games that Nintendo offered to publish a threequal to and act like it was all their idea? Next!

Fatal Frame IV
Why Nintendo is publishing the fourth game in a survival horror series that has never been on any of their consoles when the most mature thing they've endorsed in recent memory is Kirby Super Star Ultra we may never know. Me personally, I (once again, obviously) didn't play the first three, and survival horror's not my thing. Sadly, even when Nintendo publishes this sort of title, it's hard to say they're appealing directly to their core gamers; it's more like they're trying to appeal to Sony-loyal core gamers so they'll buy a Wii.

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon
Never cared for the series, as strategy's not my thing and it's always looked screamingly generic. But oh, look, instead of, say "Dragon Shadow", it's "Shadow Dragon". Someone head down to the Hanes depot because that just blew my socks off.

Fragile
In a sense, the companion game to The Conduit: An ever-delayed Wii-Savior that not a whole lot of people actually understand. Heck, even I don't think I'm qualified to lambast this one, other than the fact that post-apocalyptic settings and sinister fog aren't exactly original plot gimmicks. Nevermind (but I probably won't buy it anyway).

Ghostbusters
It's interesting how the excitement over a licensed game in often in inverse proportion to how recently the film in question has been released (see: The Godfather game) or the film's prestige (see: Watchmen). Ghostbusters was good, and the previous games were bad, and... I'm just trying to figure out where all the hype for this one is coming from. Talk of a new movie has been hovering like, well, a ghost, but that's not going to make me shell out.

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
For those into GTA and brushing cobwebs out of your DS's card slot, go nuts, but I've never found the appeal of the series. Before, it was "You're an angry minority: Shoot, drive, be near a prostitute, repeat." Now, it's "You're an angry minority in poor graphics: Shoot, drive, deal drugs, repeat."

Henry Hatsworth in The Puzzling Adventure
Puzzles on the touchscreen? A title and protagonist that brings to mind that European vacation a few years ago? Professor Layton called; he wants his gimmick back. (yes, I'm aware it's a platformer)

House of the Dead: Overkill
The Wii was born to host cheap light-gun games, and the introduction of the Wii Zapper (First-party-supported by one game, mind you, but maybe that's a good thing) did nothing to stem the flow. Lo and behold, another entry in a too-many-zombies series best enjoyed when played a quarter per game.

Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days
I know it's stupid, but the nonsense name is really all that's making me not consider this game. Well, that and the fact that the amount of spinoffs the series has had sort of turns me off. Still, I'm looking to get ahold of the first two someday, so if I like those... we'll see.

Little King's Story
Growing up watching the Wii and DS become what they have, I've learned to ignore most games with "Little", "King", or "Story" in their name. And wouldn't you know it...

MadWorld
Another one no one'll shut up about. I'm not saying it's bad, and I guess I'm glad someone grew a pair and made a Wii game without any neon colors in it for a change, but let's look at the big picture, shall we? Red, white, and black carnage? Frank Miller beat you to it. Chainsaw massacre? Evil Dead, Gears of War, and countless horror media would like to have a word with you. Hand-welded weapons? Well... no wonder Project HAMMER never came out. Okay, so maybe it's not original, but even if it was, violence for the sake of violence has never been my cup of tea. I doubt this is the case, but I almost feel like it's one of those things where someone sarcastically overreacts when you complain about something: "Oh, you're sick of casual games? Here, take this! You can impale a guy with a f***ing roadsign!"

Mario & Luigi 3
The first rocked and the second was meh, so it's anyone's guess as to how this one'll turn out. I've discussed it on the thread or two devoted to it, but I'll recap: A playable Bowser and going inside something's body aren't going to win "Innovation of the Year" awards, so I hope to see some other story hook soon besides that and the bloated Toads.

Monster Hunter 3
As I said in regards to FFIV, an exclusive iteration in a previously PS2-only series I've yet to experience or have any interest in. It's going to have to earn my respect!

Muramasa: The Demon Blade
You see that boat fading into the horizon? It's Games That Take Place in Ancient Japan and/or Games That Look Hand-Drawn. That ship has sailed, with Okami taking up the whole top deck.

New Play Control! Series
Calm down, now--there's no need for Engrish and superfluous exclamation points. Moving on, I've expressed my opinion on this before, but for fairness's sake I'll say it again: While I guess there's nothing inherently wrong with futzing with GCN classics for the casual crowd, don't even think that 1)These can take the place of new games until late Spring, 2)These can take the place of new games in their respective series, and 3) I'm willing to pay $40 to play DK:JB again, only easier and with worse controls (how do you clap, again?).

OneChanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad
OneChanbara, twoChanbara, threeChanbara, four/fourChanbaras make a bunch and so do many more. ...Now that I've got that out of my system, excuse me for being hesitant about a game (also being released on the 360) considered simple in Japan. As for the game(play) itself, bikini girls rock, as do samurais, but I can't help but feel the combination (anybody look in the general direction of the Dead or Alive movie when it came out?) is like air-dumping melted Velveeta on a field of maize: It's corny, it's cheesy, and you can't help but wonder what your mother might think.

Phantasy Star Zero
Another franchise I think I may like if I tried it but never got into. However, the DS is simultaneously the best and worst place to introduce yourself to a series, so... nah, don't think I will.

Pokémon Platinum
Already have the original, though I suppose that was a stupid decision (c'mon, you're retarded if you didn't see this coming). Even if I did make a habit of buying "the third Pokemon" every "generation", a wormier Giratina, a doggier Shaymin, and some effed-up 3-D dimension isn't worth another $30.

Professor Layton and Pandora's Box/The Last Time Travel
Two sequels announced at once... plan ahead much? With my dislike of most puzzlers and "Aw, what the hey, might as well publish it" Nintendo games, I try my best to ignore this series (even when my brother, embarassed, got the original on Easter from our Grandma because, to paraphrase, "a bunch of kids's parents love it".), which is admittedly difficult considering its fugly art and sales charts notoriety.

Punch-Out!!
I might, just might care about this game if there wasn't already Wii Boxing and multiple other boxing minigames/games on the Wii. Also, do you hear that? It's the sound of Nintendo farming out development again to someone else who, apparently, isn't swamped with making electronic cookbooks and virtual flutes. People praised the post-E3 Nintendo conference for giving us what we didn't get "then", and things like S&P2 (below) and this definitely have potential, but it's not a true victory for the traditional gamer until the Big N puts their idle hands (and maybe their money) where their mouth is. And just for the record, is it two exclamation points or three?

Red Steel 2
As I understand it, the original blew, and I can't see how whacking goons with 1:1 is going to help close that wound. Whether it does or not, though, I've promised myself to not buy any Ubisoft games after they actually came out and said that they would deliberately make near-only casual crap on the Wii/DS. Last one looked pretty generic too, anyway.

Rhythm Heaven
Lo, a game I may consider! Then again, I already own my fair share of music/rhythm games and WarioWare games (I believe this game is often considered a combination of the two)... Well, at least they brought it Stateside for those interested.

Scribblenauts
Drawn to Life, brief and (core gameplay-wise) crude though it was, featured an awesome gimmick I'm amazed no one else had yet done. As for Lock's Quest, it didn't seem like my thing, but this... well, clever concept, but I can almost hear, in the future, the cries of frustrated gamers as their writing of "pen" is constantly interpreted as "pan", and so on. If someone else had it, I might give it a whirl, but I wouldn't save up for it.

Sin and Punishment 2
If you're describing a game to me, I stop listening the minute the word "on-rails" pops up. Still, I've heard considerable praise for the VC-exclusive (in the States) original, but as I mentioned earlier, getting Wii Shop stuff can be a hassle. Maybe if I've got ten spare dollars some day I'll try out the original and get back to you.

Sonic and the Black Knight
Oh, joy, another Sonic game. Now he's got a sword. Will this be the one that brings him back on top? Tune in next week, when they try again!

Tenchu 4
See last comment(s) about ex-PS2 series I've never played.

Wii Sports Resort
Oh, what fine luck the alphabetically-last game is also the most-likely worst. Granted, my expectations for it are irrevocably shattered after the aforementioned debacle that was E3 '08, but even with those memories surgically removed--trust me, I'm about ready to do it myself--I'd feel naught but ill will towards this one. Another day, another unoriginal, boring-in-an-hour-unless-you-play-it-a-month-later-with-inept-relatives non-game packaged with a peripheral to be overused twice and then shelved, eh? (Actually, I shouldn't be so harsh on MotionPlus. After all, the N64 had the Expansion Pak... but at least it released with Majora's Mask)

Now that it is completely off your chest, there will be no excuse to keep repeating how much you hate Nintendo, right?

EDIT:
But in all honesty, I really think you read too much into the cons of things. As a gamer, it's extremely unhealthy.

Now here's my rant:

Seriously, I'm sick of the crap Nintendo's getting for their approach to the video game market. I believe those who demand to Nintendo what they should or shouldn't do or say "Nintendo owes me because I bought their games boohoo" are selfish and are not true Nintendo fans. Nintendo is not going to stop producing the games we like. It is a childish way of thinking.

As a Nintendo fan, I'm open to what Nintendo wants to offer, even if the games are the most bizarre. BTW, it is the innovation of its products that has made Nintendo so wildly successful. Even if I must wait for something I'd desperately want, I must remember first and foremost that Nintendo is a business. They will release games that the majority of the public wants, and I respect that. Look at the GameCube: they focused on what we consider "hardcore," and it ended up being the least successful console of the generation. Nintendo has learned that what worked 20 years ago does not completely work now. Nintendo likes to make money. Like everyone else. All this capitalism and corporate America crap have no place in this. If the company were run completely by fan demands it would plummet. We fans cannot possibly understand all of Nintendo's motives from a business perspective, no matter how wise we think we are. The games would be so unbelievably Amish and backwards that Nintendo would fall on its face. One person I spoke to a few days ago tried to counter this argument by saying, "Well at least they would go out with a bang," meaning "Who cares if they fail? We get our games!" This is immensely selfish. Nintendo was been around for 120 years, and they only started in the video game market about 35 years ago. Would a few years of games we be "satisfied" with be worth sacrificing a company that has been around longer than any of us, giving us fun and entertainment since we were born? I doubt it.

For all of those who believe who believe Nintendo has "forgotten them:" maybe it's a sign. Maybe it's time to move on. As much as I love Nintendo and its games, I realize it is not the world. The "shortage" of "good games" would tell me that maybe it's best to start filling my time with new hobbies, new interests. I will continue to love Nintendo, but while I wait for the games I really want, I feel it is best to pursue new things instead of whine about the games I don't want.

Maybe I'm too optimistic about the future of Nintendo. But surprisingly to some of you, that could also be a good thing.

Note: While I was editing this post the below one was added.

Part of these is your own problems with game design, part of it is your unwillingness to accept that hype is sometimes deserved, and part of it is you being correct.
Anyway, Fragile is going to be great. tri-Ace makes great stuff. And it looks great.
Fire Emblem, well, if you don't like strategy, you don't like strategy and that doesn't make them bad.
Muramasa: Just because one game with a similar style was well-received doesn't mean that's all the room there is for that style.
Phantasy Star is pretty cool and I didn't know they were making one for DS.
Cave Story was most likely cooler when it was a PC game made by one guy (it was actually an impressive effort then). And I still have the PC version.
Finally, not paying attention to on-rails games solely because they're on-rails is dumb.

Oh, that wasn't about hating Nintendo. That was just my analysis of various hyped games, posted on the Angst Thread because it was based on a minor gripe I had about the deluge of "Top ___ Games of ____" lists.

part of it is your unwillingness to accept that hype is sometimes deserved
When did I say that?

Fire Emblem, well, if you don't like strategy, you don't like strategy and that doesn't make them bad.
I agree with you, actually. I tried to make this clear without really coming out and saying it, but I guess it didn't work: I don't hate any of those games. I can't do that because they haven't come out yet and that's unfair judgement. However, I can form opinions about them based on their genre and style. Also, of course a game isn't bad just because I don't like its genre, but for all intents and purposes, it is to me because I probably won't enjoy it.

Finally, not paying attention to on-rails games solely because they're on-rails is dumb.
I'm just not a fan of a genre. If you interpreted that as meaning that I deliberately refuse to learn anything about them, though, that's not the case. Rather, I just don't buy them (I guess I was trying to vary my writing and it backfired. As usual...).

Is "on-rails" a genre? Is Sin and Punishment the same genre as Killer 7 the same genre as Pokemon Snap?

Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop
In this case, sure, some of the irksome features of the original have been fixed
No. They took out the Majora's Mask element, which was half the brilliance of the game. The timed day repeating is not irksome, but wonderful.

Anyway, I want the flip-side of the coin.

What games is ShadowBrian looking forward to and why?
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Glorb on January 10, 2009, 11:28:53 AM
They took out picture-taking and real-time days. Now it's single-player RPG-ish Double Dragon in 3D with guns and zombies.

And I agree with the Conduit opinion. It's terribly sad that a rather standard FPS becomes mega-hyped because it's roughly as good as its PS3/360/PC cousins.

And GTA: Chinatown Wars looks...interesting. Judging from previews, it looks more Smash TV than GTA, which I'm cool with. But whether or not it's dumbed down remains to be seen.

Other opinions withheld until a later date due to laziness.

I have angst because my Wii doesn't feel like being normal when I put in my new Metriod Prime 3, and my iTunes doesn't load iTunes Store good enough. Which gets annoying when I try to get past episodes of my podcasts.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: ShadowBrain on January 10, 2009, 08:10:11 PM
What's the problem here? There were very few of those games I expressly expect to hate. I just said why I did or didn't think they looked interesting (in fact, if you cared to really read it, I'm actually interested in of those games). I capped it on both ends with a warning only because it's got the point where any time I say what I think of the game, people assume it's going to a vitriolic rant.

If ShadowBrain has this much to **** and moan about with video games, why doesn't he find a new hobby?
Because videogames, as a medium, always have the potential to be entertaining. Also, as I said before, I'm going back now and buying all the old games I never got before. And there's always games I already own and can replay.

Now, here's a few games coming out that I may consider:

-Mario & Luigi 3. Hey, it's Mario & Luigi, what can I say?
-Dragon Quest V. Like I said, I'm something of a fan. Therefore, DQXI pending by extension.
-Rhythm Heaven, as I heard good things about it.
-Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days (I think I'll call it KH179D for short), assuming I like the first two (or three, or however many you consider to be the main series. Yes I know this is a spin-off of sorts as well)
-Sin and Punishment 2 if I get/like the first.

As for Batman ringtones, fine by me (but only if it's the Tim Burton theme and not dialog).

Chain of Memories is definitely a part of the main series.  You will have no idea how Sora got where he was at the beginning of KH2 if you haven't played it.  Being the KH fanboy that I am, I would definitely recommend that you buy the first three.

ShadowBrain has the right to voice his opinion about the games he's thinking about buying and stuff. If you don't like his view of the games he listed,
don't read it. And, he did give us a fair warning: "***WARNING: SHADOWBRAIN BEING HIMSELF***"

I'm disappointed because Funamation has stopped producing english-dubbed episodes of One Piece, which I watch on YouTube. So now, I guess I'll have to buy DVDs to see what happens next. I really wish Toonami wasn't gone...

No, I didn't realize that, thank you.
So... you won't be able to buy DVDs with English dubs?
I just didn't want to shell-out money to see the newer episodes in English, that's all. But if I have to, I will. The series ended with a cliff-hanger http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ctAGDkFkYSI&feature=channel_page and this is what BattleFlanky, the one that uploads OP episodes had to say

"..and that's that. Either back to the start with 4kids or.. Zoro v. Braham again (conflicting sources) starting tomorrow. My immediate feelings are that this is probably the end of the 'brand new' episodes on Australia Cartoon Network, I think FUNi have finished airing whatever they had (in this case the remainder of Skypeia) which wasn't picked up by the US CN. Continuing producing episodes solely for a relatively small market doesn't seem to make much sense at all, they've probably refocused their efforts almost entirely on the Voyage DVD series. I guess, we'll have to wait and see."

So, I didn't want to, but I guess I'll have to buy the OP DVDs now so that I can keep track of their quest for the treasure, One Piece.
Sorry about the confusion.

That must be a lot of work to dub a long series like One Piece.  Doesn't it have something like 300 episodes?

Yeah, it has 383 episodes so far. I think I'm stuck at episode 194 for now.

I've got....mixed feelings about the new L4D update. It's more good than bad by far, but Valve seems to be, in a couple cases, confusing legit tactics with exploits or bugs. For example, you can't melee a survivor being dragged by a smoker to save them anymore; you have to hunt down the smoker or break the tongue. And the new Tank fixes seem a bit...off. Instead of highlighting bashable cars to prevent you from swinging your meaty fists at static props, why not make all same-sized cars bashable?

I've noticed recently that it doesn't seem like Koji Kondo is composing a lot of new Mario music anymore. Just about every game has a different composer, and Kondo is only credited with "Original SMB Theme." I doubt he's really getting involved with most, if not any, with it. Anywhere that he is credited with the composition of the song (like Mushroomy Kingdom for instance) it's just a remix of an old theme. Take Super Mario Galaxy for example:

Only four of the game's 81 songs according to the SMG soundtrack were new ones by Koji Kondo. They were Good Egg Galaxy and the three themes for the Comet Observatory. All the rest were either composed by Mahito Yokota or were Kondo's old Mario themes arranged by Yokota.

I know! It's just slowly confirmed to me that, when trying to sell something, the less you stand out the more attention you attract (see Apple and Nintendo). Not that it's a bad thing... I mean, simple is the new complex these days, and I guess it reduces clutter and there's less ink, etc. spent... I don't know. All I do know is that, when I first saw the ad promoting the new Pepsi (logo), I thought it was for Korean Air; and I'm still not totally sure if it's just for Diet Pepsi or not (on account of its thinner-ness).

You mean like, you hadn't seen the new logo in person or what?
No, a girl I know drinks Mountain Dew in class. I swear I did a double take when I saw the can (it's not like I go around just looking up "Mountain Dew" on Wikipedia--though that's what I did to bring you the link, of course).

It is NOT AT ALL like Final Fantasy. It is fairly Zeldic, but with a different weapons system and you can jump. It's a great game but astoundingly hard. I want Nintendo to revive it in 3-D, where it would play more like a 3-D Zelda game (with jumping).
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: FlamingBlueMario on January 24, 2009, 10:00:02 PM
Oh, so you can jump? That's great! I like astoundingly hard games (within reason) and I plan on getting it someday. I really hate how Nintendo limits how Link jumps. I think it's because their worried that he'll seem like Mario in that way. If Link could jump like Mario (or better) that would mean bigger and harder boss battles. But if every hero had the same thing that would be, well,  boring.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: BP on January 24, 2009, 11:15:57 PM
Link not jumping unless he must makes the games more realistic. And allows for maximum focus on his weapons. Though you can jump at will in The Minish Cap once you get Roc's Cape... isn't that one based on an older game's item?

Roc's Cape was also in Oracle of Seasons, and yes, I think Link needs to start jumping in the newer games. As for StarTropics, it's no classic, but it's not bad and I am surprised they've not revived and/or paid homage to the series (probably because the weapons are really similar to Earthbound and the gameplay to Zelda).

Are you sure you weren't just checking the girl out?

Unless by "is exiting my every orifice" he means "is going away for once" but considering the post's location, it's probably more like he's erupting. For some reason. Perhaps he's regretting not getting a 360? Not that I want to start this again--I don't care what you play, even if I personally think you made the wrong decision.

Edit: So, Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop is looking on the sucky side. I'm going to rent it when it comes out so I can see for myself. Not that it bothers me; I have the real version. I just care about every 360-less person who will have to play a suckified version of an awesome game.

-Frank can't jump
-Frank West, photojournalist, can't take pictures
-The over-the-shoulder camera view, I imagine, will be irritating at times
-Emphasis on guns rather than melee weapons (in fact you can only have one melee weapon at a time), while most of the fun of Dead Rising was that everything and anything is a melee weapon an guns were only really great for killing psychopaths (if you ask me)
-Worse graphics
-Apparently there's also a zombie shortage. But maybe not. I've heard mixed things about this.

Like I said though, I'm going to try it myself before I pass my final judgment.

It's just... I loved that series as a kid, and Rare and Nintendo were a team for so long. Then they left, and now one (both, actually) of those games is on a non-Nintendo system with more features.

Actually, it doesn't make me that mad. I'm definitely miffed, but I was exaggerating a little.

Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: BP on January 28, 2009, 06:56:36 PM
That's just flat-out retarded if I may say. I mean, Rare is third party. Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie were not Nintendo games. They were Rare games, just playable on a Nintendo console. In fact I'm ticked that the games were just ports instead of enhanced remakes with graphics as good as the 360 would allow. I would buy Banjo-Kazooie looking as pretty as Nuts & Bolts in an instant. I don't want to get the ports because I already have the original carts, but... rrrr Stop 'N' Swop!
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: CrossEyed7 on January 28, 2009, 07:07:04 PM
I wanted them on the console I had. I had a Wii.

But if I had some extra money and some more confidence in the durability of Xboxes, I'd buy one, and Banjo would be a pretty big factor in that decision.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Chupperson Weird on January 28, 2009, 07:29:26 PM
Rare was totally second party until Nintendo sold them off, at which point they became second party to Microsoft.

Have not confidence in 360 durability. They have little.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: BP on January 28, 2009, 08:11:22 PM
Not that big a difference--second party just means they can't make games for other consoles. Except Donkey Kong. And if they want to do portable, apparently.

One of my brother's friends is staying the night.

Actually, she's been staying the night for the past two weeks, and will probably keep doing so for at least one more.

She's living with us until her family finishes moving in. Unfortunately, this seems to be happening at a rate of around one box per day. The problem is that she basically hates me, and also my brother is grounded due to his grades yet he's still getting to see at least one of his friends outside of school all the time - because she's living with us. Anyway, I'm finding that I prefer being at school to being at home, since I don't have to see them there (my brother is a repeat freshman, his friend is a sophomore, and I'm a senior with no gym class, so I don't normally see them during school), except for the whole computer situation (their Internet is faster and more stable than mine but more censored than China's, and all of the computers are worse than any currently being used in my house).

Internet, by the way, is why I'm finally angry enough to make this post. At around 5:30 yesterday (CDT), they decided that since I wasn't on the computer, they could log me out (killing anything I had running at the time) and disconnect me from the Internet. To make matters worse, I didn't get it back until about half an hour ago, and I have a feeling the only reason I have it back now is because the person using our connection downloaded a bunch of songs using LimeWire - a few hundred megabytes worth, knocking us over our cap. The only reason I'm able to do any online stuff right now is because of the uncapped Internet time between 1 and 6 AM.

I have a bit of ANGST today because a poem I wrote for my creative writing class was under peer review today. No, I'm not angry that I received a bunch of ridicule; rather, I'm angry because one of the students didn't like it because it used "too many complicated words that no one would use today."

Seriously? What about all of the sonnets written by William Shakespeare? They're masterpieces and they use language that, by today's standards, would be considered quite obscure. Only, the words I used weren't even that complicated to comprehend. She didn't even know what the words "lest" and "nick" meant. I'm not trying to compare myself to Shakespeare, because (by all accounts) he's a genius and I'm not (not yet at least, anyway).

She's a really friendly person and I most certainly like her as a friend...it's just a tad agitating when a college student doesn't know what "lest" means. Everyone else, for the most part, disliked it for other reasons like how vague it was describing certain aspects of my life (which I'm totally fine with because I myself thought it was too vague).

Another girl in the class didn't know what concrete (something that is not abstract and you can feel/touch) meant. When we were asked to describe an orange, my teacher said to use concrete details and she asked "What does that mean?" Most of the class facepalmed.

Honestly, how in the world do you not know what concrete means?

In eighth grade, my homeroom and history teacher was Mrs. Valdivia. In history class, we went around the room, each of us reading a paragraph or two out of the book out loud. One day, we were reading about the explorer Pedro de Valdivia. The girl who got the first paragraph about him couldn't pronounce his name. Even though she clearly had no problem pronouncing that name whenever she needed to go to the bathroom.

Well, February 13 just turned into the worst day ever.  I'm recovering from a badly sore throat, and I was asleep for about an hour and a half when my parents, who had been gone pretty much all day and night, called me upstairs.  The mood was very solemn, and my thoughts were that maybe my dad had decided to sell his plant business after all of these years.  Nope, it was even worse.  It turns out one of my favorite uncles committed sucide last night (look at the clock).  This may seem like a trivial reason to miss him, but he was the one who gave me my first can of Pepsi.  Now, obviously I miss him because of way more than that, but that was always one of my favorite memories, and he was always just the best.  It really hasn't hit yet...I guess I'll have to sleep on it.  This is going to be a long weekend.

Today being the day after Valentine's Day, and my home sufficiently stocked with pink, tasteless hard candies and heart-shaped boxes of sweets, I'd like to take this time to express my longstanding ire over the inner layer of something-or-other that separates those wonderful, albeit mysterious, pockets of chocolates from the cardboard lid. When I'm hungry, my mind isn't always at its best, so I forget it's there, lift the cover, and... bam: Choc-blocked. Of course, then I just remove, grab a morsel, and get a stomachache later.

I'm not sure if I should really have angst about this, but a family of three came by the other night. They stood at the front counter for the longest time, talking queitly to themselves, then finally the mom asked what is probably the craziest question I have ever recieve at Cinnabon: "How do you guys pronounce your name?"

How would you pronounce it? Is it Sin-ah-BON or Sin-uh-BUN??

Obvisouly, she was the only one to think it was the second pronunciation. When I told her how I say it (the first way), she turned them and said "Of course." And then they left.

It got me to thinking: how many other people don't know the right way to pronounce the name Cinnabon.

It makes me think of another time. Someone once wanted to order one of our special drinks, which are called Chillattas. This girl (I say girl, she was mabey sixteen or older..) walked up and said..

"I want a chocolate mocha.. I don't know how to say that word.. Is it chinchilla?"

*facepalm*
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: nensondubois on February 18, 2009, 05:55:20 PM
I would pronounce it as "Sin-ah-BON", even thought it is not phonetically correct. Many people call levers "Leavers". Unless you have a passion for working at a fast food joint, dialect is really nothing to get worked up about. Which Cinnabon was it?

I really messed up on how I should've used my time this weekend.  I had to finish a graphic design project for today, and, even though I got it done, time constraints kept me from getting the most effective imagery.  I go home on the weekends to do my laundry and spend time with my dad and cats.  During times that I could've been working on things, I got distracted.  I was only able to finish my things for Graphic design Sunday night.  After my 8 AM class this morning, I checked what I had due for a history class that I have later in the day.  Had to do an article analysis, but I didn't know which article I was to do.  I also have to write a paper for that class that is due wednesday.  I start on the paper after going through an emotional breakdown, considering skipping today's class.  Then I looked through my email in hopes that the team captain sent information on what article we were to analyze. Fortunately it was there, and I was able to work on the analysis, though I had to skip lunch.  I might skip Jazz Band tomorrow so I have more time to work on the paper.  I took care of the distraction

Rage time.

First is an unimportant issue regarding friends and their girlfriends and the resulting distancing from said friend because he's too busy suckin' face and texting her every frikkin' day (even at bowling, so I'm practically alone) and he'd better not be texting her the whole time we're at Magic Mountain to celebrate my birthday

Next is when stupid moms in their red SUVs and their assumed superiority. The bowling alley's parking lot is specifically marked. There is one entrance and one exit. You come in through the entrance on the right, and when you leave you go around the building and use the exit. I've always known this, I go the correct way. I'm backing up with my trunk to the entrance because I'm going to go around with my windshield to the way to the exit because that's how I'm supposed to go. I turn my head to shift to drive and this frikkin' lady waggles her finger at me as if I'm in the wrong. The mix of my feelings of rage toward this older=smarter mentality and her daring to act like she's MY mother and waggle her finger at me? What? I yell out my one-third-opened window

"OBEY THE ARROWS LADY!!"

She had BETTER have heard that and realized what I meant and looked like an idiot in front of her daughter. And the above-mentioned friend and his girlfriend and his brother.

I had an idea for a DJ Hero way back in 2006. I'm not sure if the actual game is going to be anything like my idea, and in all likelyhood it's going to suck, but it sounds kinda cool.

In case anyone's wondering, my idea would basically be that you're a DJ who plays at various events, and are gven free reign to do whatever with the material you have. Like a real DJ, you'd have to react to the crowd's desires - whether the tempo should be slow or fast, what genre, etc, and failure to meet them would lower your crowd rating. You'd lay down tracks in real time on this sort of simplified hybrid DJ station using pre-selected songs to sample from. If you do well enough with a certain artist's material, then you're given access to the multitracks of that song, allowing you more versatility. And every now and then, there'd be boss battles against real-life DJs of various genres that specialize in fields like scratching, mixing, etc.

Some will tell you Beatmania (and its sequel, beatmania IIDX) is the only rhythm game that matters. These people are crazy. Lizard Dude, the temporarily-decommissioned local rhythm game expert, would have you know that it sucks but is still an important part of rhythm game history (I agree with the second half, but think the game is somewhat fun, as long as it's IIDX and not the lame 5-button version). Anyway, Beatmania is the original DJ game. Most of the series has never reached the US, though some of the songs have been in other Bemani games that have been released here (mostly DDR).

This is why blue ocean stuff is good. If Nintendo's strategy works, eventually everyone will see video games the same way they see movies, books, TV shows, etc.: as just another entertainment medium rather than as a unitary monolithic subculture/conspiracy. Nobody says DVD players hate families because they can play Requiem for a Dream, nor that they are too kiddy because they can play Barney's Big Adventure. And making an inexpensive, unintimidating console with an inviting, light-hearted, inoffensive atmosphere and a crapload of games is probably the best way to get that Promethian task done.

At least that's the idea.

Nothing wrong with that, as long as you agree Kishimoto's use of death as a tool to make the big bad of this arc seem even stronger is a stupid plot device. Especially since Toriyama already ruined that cliche with his overuse of it in the Dragon Ball series.

I find it funny that this NIMF organization thinks that every kid in America has the same mindset as those two kids who shot up Columbine.  Seriously, any parent so concerned about this should keep their mouth shut and not buy the game for their kids.  Don't wreck it for the rest of us "grown ups."  And of all companies...you blast Nintendo for this?  Seriously, they put out one "gore" game to show that the Wii isn't just a system for the kiddies, and they get yelled at by a company that is probably run by a group of soccer moms.

It's absolutely retarded to say that you won't buy Nintendo games again because they make some crap you don't like. I'm hating all this BAWWWing. ALL OF IT.

Anyways, my Angst is about having too many good games to play. I can't balance. I wanna play Dead Rising, but I wanna play Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, but I wanna play Street Fighter IV, but I wanna play Brawl, but I wanna play Soul Calibur IV, but I wanna play Final Fantasy Tactics, but I wanna play Persona 3 FES. And so I end up playing Persona 3 for days straight.

Captain Jim, I know how you feel man. Relationships aren't always a bowl of cherries, but sometimes getting dumped will make you stronger (sort of what happened to me). I hope I don't sound too insensitive when I say that, but things will get better.

On a side note, I'm a little peeved that so many my friends are complaining about our president Barack Obama. Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of his raving fans (I actually voted for Chuck Baldwin), but he's only been in office for two months. Give him some time and keep an open mind. Just because he's not a conservative doesn't mean he's going to tear the country up.

For the record, I am a liberal republican.

People are just incredibly impatient. He's been in office for two months and has done what he can. The effects won't be apparent for a couple of months or even years. It amazes me that some people honestly thought he'd strut into office, touch the national deficit, make it disappear and bring us to a golden age of plentiful jobs and large pay.

Whether it's his fault or not, Obama had some really high expectations going in (oceans receding and planets healing and whatnot), and it's a long way down from there if he turns out to just be another compromising politician. I'm trying to hold off judgment on my bigger concerns about him for a while, but putting a guy in charge of the Treasury who claims not to be able to figure out TurboTax is definitely pretty worrying.

It's too early to judge his results, though at the same time it'd be irresponsible not to carefully examine his intentions. He's already said, among other things, that he wants lots more abortion rights and seems to have implied some pretty Marxist tendencies, and if that's the kind of stuff he wants to do, I want him to fail at it.

Anyway, (https://themushroomkingdom.net/board/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Flh4.ggpht.com%2F_z3qOPdy0bWw%2FScvE2Dx0jWI%2FAAAAAAAAB1A%2FNJRoqV7SK-o%2Fs800%2FFullscreen%2520capture%25203262009%252020852%2520PM.jpg&hash=76ae4c7cdad8be80762dc3e491b64f74)

What's mostly annoying me now is people complaining about the new Zelda game. All the complaints seem to fall under one of three categories:
- They Changed It Now It Sucks
- This Proves They're Never Going To Make A Wii Zelda
- They're trying to reclaim the joy they got when playing their first Zelda game (usually Ocarina), not realizing that for most of them, it came more from youthful imagination than the game itself.

I for one very much enjoy trains. And furthermore, as I may have mentioned somewhere on here before, I think Wind Waker is the most Zeldaish Zelda game yet (though in the interest of full disclosure, I should point out that Wind Waker was my first one), and don't have a problem with the graphics or the differentness from Ocarina at all.

But then I'm also kind of annoyed at myself for being so annoyed by other people expressing their annoyance. And if I wanted to, I could branch this off into an incoherent ramble about the idea of tolerating intolerance. But I won't.

Those FreeCreditReport.com commercials are annoying me too now.

You're telling me people never said any of that stuff when Phantom Hourglass came out?

Now, you may think I'm going to go off on Spirit Tracks, but no. I have several, non-videogame-related things that have been annoying me far more than that for some time, and I'm going to express myself with...

Non-Videogame Things That Are Annoying ShadowBrain to No End

Part One: 3-D

Three attributes can make a product or service unappealing: Unoriginality, poor quality, and undue hype. I can take, at the most, two of these and still enjoy something, but the recent 3-D craze has completely lost my interest by managing to encapsulate all of the above.

First of all, 3-D is obviously not new. In fact, Bwana Devil, widely considered the first 3-D movie, was released in 1952. Despite the film's terrible reception, a 3-D "boom" in the industry continued until 1954. On and off throughout the last half-century, there's been tons 3-D movies, books, and special issues of magazines, all in varying degrees of quality. Six years ago, Spy Kids 3-D came out and the most news coverage I saw was your standard review in the local paper. I know (hope, rather) no one really thinks 3-D is new, so why, all of a sudden, is changing the red lense on those oh-so-famous glasses to yellow somehow worth Super Bowl halftime ads coming out of my screen, Time, Inc. et al putting 3-D sections in a bunch of their publications like it's the Holiday edition of Nick Magazine, and a dozen CG movies?

Secondly, I'd care about this 3-D thing if it could match the quality of, say, those shows they do at the Disney parks. Now that's three-dimensional entertainment. But what I've been seeing is the textbook definition of meh. When those aforementioned halftime ads were all set to premiere, I initially refused to get sucked into another nation-grabbing gimmick and passed on the paper specs my grandma brought to the party. However, when Monsters Vs. Aliens and Sobe finally showed up, I figured "why not?" and put 'em on. It was just as blurry and unconvincing as I expected, only instead of being shades of red and blue it was shades of yellow and blue, the "3-D" moments looking more like layers of 2-D. In print it's no different. Coraline, when I saw it, impressed me with the higher-quality glasses, but the 3-D was still Paper Mario-esque in its depth.

As for the final point, overhype, that's already been addressed.

In the end, even if all that stuff was "fixed", I'm still not that interested in 3D. Like so many videogame gimmicks I've griped about before, it's often used as a crutch to shirk on plot and all-around substance in movies, and even if the movie's decent, there's still the obligatory things-flying-into-your-face moments that are terribly distracting (that one Fairly Oddparents episode, to reference a somewhat infantile source, hit the nail right on the head). Besides, movies--and Burger King ads--are not an interactive medium. Videogames are, so I have little problem if they're 3-D (though I'd prefer they also be first-person, in that case), but in movies you are not supposed to be anybody. You're an outsider! The audience! Until technology gets to the point where the protagonist of a movie looks like whoever is watching it, leave the screen flat.

Though I don't read comics often, I do play tabletop games, and the nearest game store to me after this happens is an hour away.

- They're trying to reclaim the joy they got when playing their first Zelda game (usually Ocarina), not realizing that for most of them, it came more from youthful imagination than the game itself.
This is also the reason that people have it stuck in their heads that Final Fantasy VII is the best Final Fantasy game. N64 and PSX just happened to come out with very competent games right around then, and it happened to be the time that many people first played video games. They play the two biggest selling games of their era, and they are automatically the best games ever because they were the first serious or well-done games those people chanced to play. It's 90% nostalgia. They're both good games, of course. Just nowhere near the best ever.
Title: I really say 'really' a lot in this post FOR REAL
Post by: CrossEyed7 on March 26, 2009, 08:17:35 PM
Actually, now that I think of it, Ocarina was my first Zelda. Got it on the bonus disc when I preordered Wind Waker. I loved it, but once I got Wind Waker, I never really played it again. Mostly because of the low frame rate and annoying one-heart beep, really. I want to play it again, though.

Of course, if you want to be really strict about it, technically the first Zelda game I played was Link to the Past on a $10-an-hour built-in thing in a hotel, but I don't think that really counts.

I have angst because of Vista's lack of options. Aero feels like more trouble than it's worth (a lot of my programs aren't compatible with it, and even with translucency off it takes up a lot of resources), so I've been trying to downgrade, but Vista Basic doesn't allow any colors other than sky blue, and on Classic, I can't figure out how to change the colors of the taskbar and the majority of the windows (making the parts of the windows that I can change just look ugly), like I used to in 98 and XP. In fact, I'm pretty sure they took that ability out for some stupid reason, and it looks like the only way to do anything about it is to switch it to a High Contrast theme, which will force it to be black instead of forcing it to be light grey. I want brown, dangit.

3D Effects changes the colour of the taskbar, I believe.

Also, I recommend finding a uxtheme patcher (just Google it, it's easier if you have Vista 32-bit but 64-bit will work with a little effort) and go through several sites (deviantart is one) and look for Vista themes. There are some good ones out there (most of them use Aero but there are a handful that don't).

I have angst because my computer was acting up last night.  It's fine now, but the reason I have angst about it is that to get it to be fine, my dad had to uninstall mIRC among other things.  So I might not be in the chatroom for a while.

I currently have a tiny bit of ANGST because of Cave Story. Yes, I realize that Cave Story is not a big ANGST-causer, but it's made me angry. I've been attempting a playthrough without the machine gun. It's not easy. The Core has beaten me more than a few times. No big deal, though, right? Just load the save and try again. What's really ticked me off this time is this:

My friend said he watched every episode of the anime and he still doesn't know why it's called Bleach.

Maybe it's because the apparel they wear is clearly influenced by american fashion and it always includes english phrases (white washed).

Or maybe its because the show is so terrible you want to wash it out of your mind using Bleach.

Either way, your friend must have some serious endurance to see it all. I watched the first 40 episodes and gave up when I realized I was putting myself through torture trying to enjoy this crap show. When it takes 20 episodes to get to the real conflict, and then spend 20 introducing a bunch of worthless chracters who only serve as punching bags, there is absolutely no reason to keep watching. I'd rather watch my nails grow.

Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: BP on April 11, 2009, 12:49:05 PM
I'm thinking something more like "Dead Rising 2 cannot suck." I am (or at least was... until I pried myself off of it about a week ago) completely obsessed with the first game. When the setting for the sequel was announced, I worried a little... what can you do with a hotel/casino? But now I'm not worried at all. The shopping mall was stretched quite a bit (two hardware stores (whose unique items sort of bled all over the North Plaza, being that it was under construction), antique shop, gun store, blade store... for some reason there were traffic cones, paintings and other stuff in the movie theaters and a katana on the awning outside of a cafe).

Now, about that guy's complaints.
-Frank sure isn't weak for me anymore. At level 50 most of his moves can kill zombies with one hit during the day. Hammer Throwing one zombie can take out several.
-"Closed-in" environment... well yeah... you're trapped in a mall...
-Repetitive missions: Valid point
-Stupid AI: very valid point
-The convicts: Easier to kill than it seems. Even without the Real Mega Buster (which is easier to unlock than it sounds--just mundane). They do spawn every midnight except for the last one though, somehow. Blah.
-Otis: I don't have a problem with the repetitive calls so much as how helpless you become when answering them--and getting attacked ends the call and Otis calls back to scold you for hanging up and restart his speech. Ironically, Otis is renowned as being the most talkative character in the game, yet has no actual lines in cutscenes, ever. The closest thing he has to voice acting is in Infinity Mode, and even then I don't think he says any real words.
-Frank can's unarm himself: Yes he can. Up on the D-Pad. Why would you be carrying so many books that you can't carry anything else? Most of them augment other items.

Overall I'd call Dead Rising the easiest Capcom game I've ever played... excluding Phoenix Wright (though some situations there don't even make sense).
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Glorb on April 11, 2009, 03:10:38 PM
The Convicts are the best boss in the whole game, and have, by far, the best music ("Gone Guru" by Lifeseeker), although the whole soundtrack was pretty cool. If they can get music from some of the bands (especially Lifeseeker) in the original to appear in the sequel, I will be a very happy man.

Let me pull a ShadowBrain here and point out this commercial here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5X4TSbGreA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5X4TSbGreA)

I find it intensely hilarious, yet it's causing a controversy for not being appropriate for kids. The song may have originally had other implications, but its become a joke song over the years. It's simply been modified to be SpongeBob related, because Burger King's advertising firm loves being weird and for that I salute them.

Link (http://g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/694849/Gamers-Should-Be-Blamed-For-The-Pathetic-Sales-Of-Chinatown-Wars-And-MadWorld.html)

This is a line of thinking I've decided to ignore for a while, but the games mentioned in the above article have made it pop up again for the last week or so and I'm sick of it. People should buy games because they look fun, not to support some "cause". The minute you admit the Wii is a charity case, there's serious problems beyond the sales figures for Chinatown Wars. What, because I'm a "(hard)core gamer" it's my duty to buy "mature" games? A system (like the GCN was) has a healthy supply of such titles when you feel free buying Game X instead of Game Y (or buy neither), not when a lack of through-the-roof sales for any hyped-up game prompts article after article chiding gamers and questioning the main demographic.

Apparently, Nintendo's data on the NPD a few days back (which I've had difficulty locating) was less than satisfactory. Though it may sound strange coming from me... leave 'em alone, people. I've always been sick of this hysteria that starts up every time anything with the Nintendo logo on it doesn't sell a bazillion copies and now is not only no exception, it's worse. Before, irrational panic over VG sales was confined to Yahoo! blurbs full of Old White Guy-speak like "game player" and "the Wii Fit", but now it seems like every chump with a keyboard and a web domain is coming out of the woodwork to lend his two cents. Now let me reestablish that I'm not happy with Nintendo but let me also reestablish that I'm temporarily sticking up for them now, and say that these blogging bums are commiting two longstanding sins: Not only are they kicking a man when he's down but they're doing it with little to no previous opinions on the topic. There's a word for that, and it's cowardice. Oh, you think Nintendo blows? Well, get in line, but why didn't you say it earlier when they were on top (not that they aren't now) and it was slightly less in vogue to lambast away? Is it implied that magically, intangibly, Nintendo suddenly is and has been less fun only when sales now dip? It seems that a few of these people live in a bizzare form of temporality: Namely, one where the events of the present affect the past.

Besides, it's kind of like Joe in Idiocracy: Nintendo never said it was God's gift to middle-aged women et al (at least not at first)--the media more or less created that image.

Guy beats up his kid for playing videogames badly. (http://www.gamepolitics.com/2009/04/21/father-beats-6-year-old-over-poor-video-game-play)

I read about that at another board I got to. The thread started off with some jokes about the kid being a casual or playing some hard game, then it degraded to a bunch of guys trying to showcase their knowledge about child psychology and whether physical discipline is right or what effects it may leave on the child.

In any case, that guy really needs to set his priorities straight if sucking at a video game warrants a beating. But according to the report, the beating consists of a slap across the face leaving a red mark.

Typical sensationalism.

Which is why people freak out about a flu with a noun in front of it!

I mean, I'm not worried about it, but I know a lot of people that are. For all I know, I have it, but I don't think it matters. I started a stupid joke with a girl I got sick with (at the same time, at the same place) where I just renamed (and haven't been able to say it properly since) it, "pig syndrome."

Shadow McBrian, I was just commenting on how you never seem to care to do anything but post here about video games. Even when you're not sure if the video game thing is making you mad. I'd expect you to be jovial that Punch-Out!!, a long-forgotten old hardc-c-core classic, is being revived for the Wii... and getting massive quantities of advertising attention.

C'mon. Don't you have an annoying brother, or a disgusting roommate, or a stubborn car to complain about? I've got a refrigerator that's causing my family more anguish than a Resident Evil rehash with a boring box could ever deal!! Interesting, huh!? I know!

I just need to vent SOMEWHERE RIGHT NOW. Ugh.

Alright so. I am really really extremely ****ed and depressed right now. My mother is going through her mid-life crisis. Her second husband left and ever since then she has been really annoying and acting like she's 20 when in reality she is 40 and has two TEENAGE CHILDREN who she is starting to neglect. And that's another thing. Because of all this my brother thinks it's okay to be a complete ******bag. He thinks he runs everything and he stole $200 from my mom. He often tells me to shut up and he hits me and pushes me and doesn't even care if I'm a girl. Cuz he's a ******bag.

Oh and on top of all this, My boyfriend Alek whom I met online about 2 and a half years ago was supposed to be flying up from louisiana to take me to my senior prom. Everything was all fine and good and we were making plans and stuff about like, what we'd do when he came...and then a couple of days ago his parents all of a sudden decide to FORBID HIM to come. Saying the only way we can see eachother is if I go THERE and stay in their TRAILER while Alek stays nextdoor at his Grandma's..? His parents smoke in their house. I'd die of second hand smoke if I stay there.

....So yeah, because of them now I can't go to my own prom.

AND TO MAKE THINGS EVEN BETTER...I have my period this week. Life sucks. 8)

Yeah and for the past week I haven't been in school. Mostly I was just too depressed to even get out of bed...but some days it was my mom's fault because, since she is out partying all night with this one dirtbag Chad who me and my brother both hate, she sleeps in and doesn't wake me up for school.

I need to start using an alarm clock.

Now I'm just really worried that I'm going to get denied credit from all my absenses cuz the assistant principle is a really ******* and doesn't care about my problems.

Hopefully I can sort it out on monday though....I'll have to go in his office and friggin CRY and beg him to not deny me of credit..

Once again I need to let something out. Of course I can't go online much to begin with which, of course, is more reason to do this...

My parents want to move to North Carolina within the next month and I have no clue what is going to happen to me. Going with them would be sorta nice since I'd be reunited with the family members that don't tick me off. At the same time, though, I'd end up leaving my boyfriend who I've known for a decade. Also, I'd have to live on some campground for a few months until my parents actually get a house.

However, if I stay in Michigan, I'd have to deal with the weather which is a pain in the butt. Seems that there is no way of staying though so it seems like I'll get dragged to North Carolina. The only person that I could possibly live with (the aforementioned boyfriend's mom) won't even talk to me.

I'm so very screwed...

My wife and I won't stop fighting about my mom. My mom likes to offer us help, but my wife thinks she's being too nosy/bossy/etc. I don't feel that she's overstepped any boundaries. She's just been offering advice. Advice nobody has to take, and yet it somehow still ticks my wife off.

Like right now: my mom knows the trade in value for my truck (Tiny), and has been helping us look for a different vehicle. She's found a pacifica (which would be better/more reliable than Tiny) but we can't afford to even trade right now. But it's getting to a point where we may not have a choice: Tiny wouldn't start up again today after recently having his altenator replaced. The engine lights say the battery needs to be replaced, but he's also sat there for almost a week, since I was out of town to see my kids (and it has rained on him).

For whatever reason, he doesn't start up well after he's been sitting there and it rains.

This isn't the first time it's happened, but I've had enough and want to trade, but we can't afford any kind of car payments, but.. GAH! I'm so frustrated. I want a new vehicle, but.. well, you know..

Also, to put one final note in concerning why I don't post much angst about my personal life, I actually have it pretty good. Of course, there's the usual teenage "why is there suffering?" and "what is the meaning of life?" psycho-social frustration (which Shyguy92 has thankfully provided a thread of sorts for), but myself and family are rather fortunate in that we all get along well and are reasonably affluent.

The Lord of the Rings movies are kind of off from the book. I have only seen the extended edition of the third one. The second one is way off. I am not looking forward to the movie of The Hobbit. It was supposed to b one movie, then The Hobbit Part 2 would be about what happened between The Hobbit and the beginning of The Fellowship. Now New Line CInema will try to extend scenes of The Hobbit so it leads into the next movie. And it's not enough that everything in the second LotR movie is changed from the book. A bunch of people who didn't like the name 'The Two Towers' because of 9/11 wanted the name changed.

I honestly do not remember there being very much difference between the book and movie of The Two Towers. The main difference is the last scene of the Fellowship movie occurring at the beginning of the Two Towers book.
Also, last I heard they were making two movies out of The Hobbit, not one movie from The Hobbit and another movie from made up stuff.

Post by: dc804 on May 02, 2009, 11:37:07 PM
It won't be based off made up stuff, it will be based of the appendices of LotR.

And:In the book, there was no elves at Helm's Deep (except Legolas).

Faramir let Frodo, Sam and Gollum go along their way. He never took them to Osgiliath. Faramir was afraid of The Ring in the book.

In the movie, there was a scene where citizens of Edoras were evacuating to Helm's Deep, got attacked by wolves and Aragorn fell off a cliff. That wasn't in the book.

Rohan was winning the battle of the Hornburg before Gandalf arrived in the book.

The Ents decided to attack Isengard immediately in the book, instead of do nothing.

Wormtounge dropped the Palantir out of a window of Orthanc in the book. In the movie, Wormtongue stabbed Saruman in the back at the top of Orthanc (this is in the third movie, extended edition and happens outside Bag End in the book), Legolas shoots Wormtongue with an arrow and Saruman falls from the top of the tower while holding the Palantir.

In the movie, Theoden led the citizens of Edoras to Helm's Deep as a refuge. In the book, he was leading an army toward Isengard. He went to Helm's Deep because men of an army being led by Erkenbrand were attacked by a large army from Isengard and fled to Helm's Deep. Isengard's army was following Erkenbrand's scattered army to Helm's Deep, so Theoden led his army to Helm's Deep to help Erkenbrand.

In the movie, the Ents broke a dam and flooded Isengard. In the b ook, they dug trenches leading into Isengard, converged many rivers together, and made a dam to hold the water back. After the water builded up, the dam was broken and water poured into Isengard


And theres more. But I think I've said enough.

I'm sick, I have a runny nose, blurry head, my limbs feel fatigued, and I have a sore throat (though that might be because of a mixture of the cold, watching an AFL game live, and GH:WT vocals the other night)

If my school EVER thinks it's a good idea to make us do Cross Country in the rain again, I'm sitting it out. Slightly more physical fitness isn't worth this.

After a whole lifetime of being the token "Mormon friend" to everyone (Mormon enemy to some), I told my dad today about my decline in faith.

As in, I feel I'm agnostic now. BP's heard my feelings about religion for a long while, but no one else really knew. And so today, I manned up and told my dad how I currently felt about religion. He nodded, then said

"You're still goin' to church tomorrow."


Y'see, I dread church now. I have to put on this (metaphorical) mask, and pretend I'm happy little Mormon boy, happy in my Mormon world, condeming those who go against our Mormon world (I'll cut off here, because this isn't the "Not at the Dinner Table" thread). So, I'm behind this facade. I have to pray, give talks, and do activities about things I don't really believe in anymore.

For three hours.

Ughghghg. And I told my dad I'm not comfortable with the facade, and he said


"You're still goin' to church tomorrow."


...so yeah. I feel all horrible for some reason.

I used to go to a youth church where we'd play video games and pool for two hours before service, which had live Christian hard rock (including the first live performance by Icon For Hire, a band that's really popular around here) and humorous videos and other fun stuff. Then the place got robbed, and stuff started happening (including me being attacked outside after service one night for no apparent reason; apparently it happened to someone else another time later), and I stopped going.

I agree with the two posts above BP's and think BP's service could be extended a bit.

How absurd that anyone wouldn't know what laryngitis is. It's rather common, isn't it? I've had laryngitis a few times in my life, one case being so severe that it damaged my voice for months afterward.

Apparently its not very common in Los Angeles. No one that I know has had it before.

With even more angst at hand: I've got a presentation to do, cause I'm on the student forum at UCLA, and I need to be able to speak. Letting my partner do all the speaking while I'm just standing there looking pretty isn't my idea of fun. I'm praying that I get my voice back for Saturday.

Well, now my school has Swine Flu Fever, so to speak--my mom's cellphone got one of those bot-calls, pertaining to the fact that, tomorrow, students will get some sort of sheet regarding it. Whether it's because some anonymous fellow pupil has it or they're just being cautious, I don't know. This doesn't angst me up because I'm afraid of the flu--rather, I'm sick of all this irrational, media/politics-fed paranoia (but really, no matter what, who isn't?). However, if school ends up getting temporarily cancelled, that may turn into glee. Until assignments get backed up... so maybe not.

I'm with ShadowBrain, this Swine Flu crap is getting on my nerves. Didn't we do this twice already this decade? The human race isn't going to die from something like this, so there's no need to sensationalize it.

That reminds me, some girl at the campus dorms apparantly had it, and the case was featured on the local news, but the place wasn't shut down or anything. I guess the administration is smart enough to not buy into the fear tactics.

WHY Super Mario Baseball for Gamecube has been sold all over the World, eccept in Italy, my country (yes, it has been sold also all over Europe)??? I still can't believe this!!
They told it was because of the lack of success of baseball sport, but there are so many videogames with not so common sports here!! These ideas make me think that Nintendo of Italy is the lazier one, as always!!

At the end they must think that there are many Italian fans of Mario games, and even if the game is a little strange for the common use here, they will be surely sold a lot also in our Country!!

Then, Super Mario Baseball for Wii has been sold all over the World, eccept in Europe. Oh, I can accept this, because we normally say " if we are all sad, we are all "half happy", because everyone feels our sadness. Just to give an optimistic point of view where there isn't.... XD

About the worst file I ever lost was a completed (Level 27, all recipes, all badges, 5 Jelly Ultras) Paper Mario file, that only took about 24 hours of game play to regain.  Good night though, I remember how much time it took me to get halfway through the pit of 100 Trials; I can't imagine how long it would take to get to level 86...

By "level", I was actually referring to Mario's actual Star Point-accumulated level, not which floor I had attained in the Pit of 100 Trials (which, for the record, I had breezed through countless times).

I'm so frustrated right now. In Mario Kart Wii's online battle, these two griefers did nothing but bully me. If they were on my team, they would follow me around, crash into me, and jump in place on their bikes. If against me I was their primary target. I lost 600 ranking points because of it.

And for some bizarre reason, all my other teammates SUCKED for some reason. It's the only thing I despise about Mario Kart Wii's online: it does not take into account of whether or not your teammates sucked, so even if you're the highest scoring person on the team, you still lose ranking points. And Funky Stadium is the worst battle course ever made. It's too big, making it impossible to catch up to anyone. And I dislike how MKW's ranking system is a "you gain some, you lose all" philosophy, with wins giving you 30 points and losses subtracting near hundreds.

SOAT was arguably better than the original. It had voodoo, and a giant snake eating the train whole.

EDIT: I just got done playing my first-ever game of TF2, and I can safely say I freaking hate it. For a game lauded for its straightforward map design, I find it weird that I was somehow able to get lost for a good minute in my own base. No matter what class I picked, my lifespan was reduced to circle-strafing around other dudes until a third dude from the other team picked me off. Either the only people who play the game are supergeniuses with catlike reflexes, or every single person who plays it has been playing since day one. Looks like I'm sticking to L4D.

I really want to bring some form of handheld entertainment to work for really slow days such as this. I haven't sold a single thing in at least an hour.

I would bring some handheld to work, but I'm afraid of getting it lost/stolen, dropping it in the sink, or getting cinnamon and frosting all over it. It's a pain in the butt to clean the place at night, and I don't want to have to go home and clean up my handhelds in a similar fashion.

Post by: Glorb on May 18, 2009, 07:22:12 PM
The point is, it's a highly inaccessible game populated by almost nothing but mercilessly expert players. Valve keeps trying to reel in new players with their awesome Meet the Team videos and unlockable incentives, but the only way you're ever going to get anywhere is if you've already been playing since release, or at least for a long time. I don't want to join a game only to get gunned down by a sniper or backstabbed by a spy or mowed down by a sentry or circle-strafed to death by a scout within seconds of spawning. I want to hop in and shoot some dudes and shout meme catchphrases and feel some sense of satisfaction and achievement.

I guess I can sort of sympathize...I have my brother as a teammate (we switch off from time to time). He's an expert spy player and PRACTICALLY KNOWS when someone else is a disguised enemy spy.

So...yeah, I guess you have a point. I main with the soldier and I get most of my kills from disguised spys (thanks to my brother) and engineers stupid enough to stand by poorly placed sentries. Still, you'd have a better time if you'd...you know, train or something.

I was reasonably beast in Quake III on my old computer, played a buttload of all three Halos on my friend's Xbox, both Star Wars Battlefronts, HL2 Deathmatch, a few CS:S matches, and, of course, Left 4 Dead. I suppose I'm not that used to classes; I'm used to weapons-balancing, not class-balancing. Still, It was hard to find an all-around "general" class (which I suppose was entirely intentional); the closest is Pyro, and he's the also the closest I've gotten to having an enjoyable time in TF2.

I'm guessing the source of my frustration is that it's such a likeable game full of personality, that I want to like it, but can't. Oh well.

Dude, me and Suffix can train you. If you are able to be good at FPS in general you can do it with TF2.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: bobman37 on May 20, 2009, 11:25:21 PM
I felt the same way as a TF2 noob. Everyone killed me really really fast and I couldn't get any points and it sucked. Pyro was also my best one because I would just run around setting people on fire.

I won't lie to you: it is pretty frustrating when you start, as you've already experienced. But it's worth sticking it through, because it really is a good game.

How'd I do it? I mained the Spy. I played him for hours upon hours. I learned his tools and weapons and I died a lot. I hardly ever reached the enemy base before getting spy-checked and I rarely killed engineer buildings with my sappers (it's a tricky technique). And it was really frustrating. I don't think I even figured out I should cloak to cross the bridge in 2fort until a long time after having played. But the satisfaction I got from backstabbing an unsuspecting enemy was enormous. 10 deaths in a row are totally worth one really good backstab. I think I reached 14 hours played with the Spy before I got to like, 5 hours with anyone else. And, of course, I would die instantly after a backstab because 1) I didn't know that you should start with the Medics in the back of the group and 2) I didn't know how to run away after a successful backstab spree.

If you do like I did and play one character a ton, you can learn the best strategies to use with that character as well as the best overall strategies of Team Fortress 2. It will be pretty frustrating. But you'll get the hang of it, pretty soon you'll rack up 93 points in one half-hour-long life as Medic (oh yes I did).

Perhaps one thing that helped me was that I played to kill, not to cap points or intel. I think that helped me learn how to kill certain classes and how to survive an attack from certain others.

A game with a similar style of get-raped-a-ton-before-you-even-get-a-kill: Gears of War 2.

I really, really hate restarting my computer.

So TF2's been acting up since the update yesterday. It's to be expected, or course, because it's an update to a very popular game that hopes to make said game more popular. So I can expect network issues. I've also got all of my games on a relatively small (18 gigabyte, I believe) external hard disk. Whenever just about anything downloads, it's a battle for disk space. I did fill up the drive at one point, so I had to delete Portal and then resume the update. And then restart Steam and resume the update again. Kinda frustrating, but tolerable. So it's finally (read one day later) finished updating itself and I want to play. But now I can't connect to any servers. Any. The game freezes every time I try to play. Not tolerable, as I sort of, you know, want to play. So I figure that maybe it's a good time to restart my computer, since I haven't for over a month and it maybe might solve the problem.

And twenty minutes later my desktop and a few background apps have just now loaded. And yes, about half of that time was spent shutting down.

I really hate restarting my computer.

When gamers get angry about a game being delayed, nothing happens. When Activision gets angry about a game being delayed, they try to prevent it from being released at all.

I'm not actually all that interested in the game--it's just that this line of thinking seems somewhat flawed. Of course, since Double Fine apparently tried to give it to EA, I can understand...

I've been sick the last couple of days, but I bet I would've been over it by yesterday morning if I could have fallen asleep before 5:30. It was strange... I couldn't force myself to sleep or think about anything that would put me to sleep. I kept uncontrollably thinking about strategies involving defeating some black dragons or something. Even when I'd get up and stand next to my bed trying to contemplate things I could do to force sleep I would think about them. It was stupid, though, because I was self-aware enough to know that I needed to sleep and that there was absolutely no reason to be thinking about fighting dragons.

I'm a bit irritated right now because I'm at a library with fast Internet, but forgot to grab the external hard drive containing all of my Steam stuff so I could play TF2. (If the computer at my cousin's house was better, or if my dad's computer could connect there, I'd use their dial-up to play, which would still suck, but not be as utterly unplayable as my home connection, which was still down as of us leaving for Iowa yesterday.)

1. Have the external hard drive with me at this library (which has even faster Internet than the one mentioned in the previous post), but was told I couldn't set it up even though it's basically just a thumbdrive with an external power source. Gah.
2. The modem arrived on Wednesday, but for some reason, no method of setup that we've tried will work. My dad even called tech support (boo, India!) and was eventually transferred to advanced tech support after an hour of going through the motions repeatedly, with no luck there. We're waiting for a phone call from HughesNet about when a tech guy will be sent to our house to check it out.
3. I currently don't have an install disc for any dial-up services - if I did, I'd be able to connect at home and use the free trial to get online while we wait. We may be rectifying this later today, though.

PetaKillsAnimals.com (http://petakillsanimals.com/).

They'll kill people to save animals (or at least surreptitiously fund domestic terror organizations that kill people), but then whenever they get their hands on an animal, they kill it. They campaign to make seeing-eye dogs illegal, but their diabetic vice president can still get her insulin made from pigs, because her life is important enough. There are a lot of genuinely good people who are suckered into being members of it, and there's a tiny grain of truth somewhere in their philosophy, but the higher-ups in there care only about self-preservation, using animal rights as an excuse to disregard the lives of anyone, human or animal, who isn't them.

Not to mention their credibility is in the negatives right now. You'd think after demanding that the citizens of Fishkill change the name of their town, demanding that the Pet Shop Boys change their band name, making a terribly unfunny and overblown Cooking Mama parody that has nothing to do with the game or its mechanics, and now chastisting Obama for watting a fly, they'd have been laughed into obscurity, but no. They just keep coming up with more desperate bids for attention.

Not to mention that the organization is also unabashedly hypocritical: They once threatened to sue the makers of the satirical website www. peta.net (or something to that extent) for libel and copyright infringement, but meanwhile refused to take down their own mock KFC sites. Do they seriously hope to gain our support by shaming us out of everything that is good and protein-rich in this world? Indeed, resorting to shame tactics is apparently fair game in the eyes of the Pervertedly Ethical Tofu Addicts:

That's the first post on this page, and I must say I was somewhat nervous to go back and see what you were referring to.

Okay, while I finally managed to get online (elsewhere) with my PS3 and buy some stuff/get system updates, something happened along the way that made it so I couldn't get some of the stuff I'd downloaded earlier (LBP add-ons). That's it in a nutshell, really, but it's far more complex and I'm fairly concerned.

Yeah, I said something when I left #tmk last night about being back in a few...turns out it'll be days rather than minutes. While we were in town getting a new router, ridiculous winds and storming struck the area. Apparently it blew our dish off-kilter - meaning no Internet until a serviceman comes out and realigns it, which won't happen until the end of the week at the earliest. Sigh.

Oh, also, Space Siege decided it wanted to stop working after I ran it once, so I have to download a no-CD patch to get it running. I also need at least one for Command & Conquer: The First Decade to run most of the contents of the compilation on here (I can run the original game, its expansion missions, Red Alert 2, and Renegade, but no other games or expansions).

IN FACT, BILLY HAS A SPECIAL, POSTMORTAL DEAL FOR EVERYONE ATTENDING OR WATCHING, RIGHT NOW: IF YOU ORDER A BOTTLE OF OXICLEAN WITHIN THE NEXT FIVE MINUTES, WE'LL THROW IN AN AUTHENTIC STRAND OF BILLY'S HAIR, YOURS ABSOLUTELY FREE WITH THIS SPECIAL TV OFFER! JUST PAY SHIPPING AND HANDLING EXTRA. SPEAKING OF "OFFER", BILLY'S CLOSE FRIEND AND FELLOW PITCH SALESMAN, VINCE, WOULD LIKE TO SHARE A FEW WORDS."

"Hey. Vince here with Billy Mays' extended family, here to mourn the loss and remember the legacy of one of the greatest salespeople ever to sell mediocre cleaning agents to the television-watching public. You know, occasions like this can really bring a tear to one's eye. What better to dry your tears with than this here ShamWow? It's like a handkerchief, it's like a tissue, it's like a sponge. Look! Just like that, the tears, along with any other bodily fluids in the surrounding area, are virtually gone. Why enbalm your loved ones the old-fashioned way when you can mummify them in one of these new, plus-sized ShamWows? It's made in Germany; you know the Germans always make good World Wars stuff. The new ShamWow XXL is just $29.95! Order yours today!

Well, our computer just came in from another maintenance session, and it turns out that half of our programs were FUBAR'd. My 1100-song iTunes collection is thankfully intact, although the connection between iTunes and my iPod has gone haywire, resulting in the inexplicable loss of several dozen tracks on the unit itself, not to mention my play counts, playlists and ratings.

So on Saturday I had the remaining wisdom teeth (the lower ones) removed, yeah. It only hurt that day and the painkillers took care of that. But you have to be really careful with them or the healing process can be heavily screwed. For a while you're limited to pudding, ice cream/milkshakes and soup. I hate soup. I'm tried of ice cream and pudding. Even when I consume plenty of that I'm still starving constantly.

But last night I found that my mom had made macaroni salad with the dinner I hadn't participated in. And she makes macaroni salad better than any of your moms. I found eating that easy enough. I felt moderately full. When I'd gotten mine there was enough for at least a breakfast and lunch the next day, even!

I get up and what do I find? My heartless sister has gotten to it before I could. What the HELL. I'm starving for solid food and sick of mothering pudding, and how are we going to care? We're not!

It only hurts the first day and while they're doing it (and, if you're shot up on enough numbing you really just feel a little pressure). When you get home, change the gauze, take a painkiller, and sleep. Sleep until the bleeding stops, or its persistence will drive you crazy. The worst part of it is definitely the limit on sustenance unless you love to eat liquids.

I bought the original PMD on the DS a while back and... I came to realize that I really dislike that genre. That WiiWare one doesn't look that bad, though. I mean, come on, it's 3-D! And I think the series could be really well-suited to short, episodic "missions" via DLC.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: BP on July 15, 2009, 09:16:54 AM
I'm cool with the genre. I like the battle system--similar enough to the basis, but different enough to make it more strategic and eventful at the same time. I like the break from gym-gym-gym-gym-gym-gym-gym-gym-league well enough. I can only take more of that in the form of remakes. The graphics in the GBA/DS games were just fine, and I had been hoping for some 3-D...

But this style was heavily panned in Ranch, I can't imagine it being better-received for Melee Scramble, why are they defacing a fine sub-series with it? I think a realistic style would suit it better. Like Twilight Princess, even, or better! At least something along the lines of the painting-type visuals on the file select screens (the first games' were better than the second set's, stylistically speaking). This Mii-esque stuff is just plain hideous.

Yeah, it's WiiWare, low capacity and all... A terrible choice to begin with.

I'm also disapproving of what seems to be a predetermined party of all the same type. No coverage at all! Gym leaders, elite four members, and people Captain Jim battles online are all easy to beat for one fatal flaw, and this is it.

I recently bought a new shell for my DS to fix the hinge. After taking two and a half weeks to get here, I tried to install it. To make a long story short, I'm out a DS, the $10 or so it cost me to get a shell (though the shell isn't broken, I don't want to bother trying to put it on another DS), and nine hours of my life I could've spent doing something other than trying to replace a shell.

I'm going to try some other stuff with it later, but I don't expect to have much luck.

Post by: WarpRattler on July 16, 2009, 12:57:32 AM
I was finishing up the assembly when the ribbon for the digitizer came loose. At the time, I had no idea the thing it attached to was a clip, so I didn't know how to put it back in, and eventually gave up on that to move on to reassembling other sections. Then the antenna wire got stuck when I was threading it back under SLOT-1 and I think it broke something on the motherboard. I had a second DS (my first one, which I gave to Kalee but her brother scratched the screen up something fierce by trying to use a pen as a stylus) laying around that I've been working on with no luck.

My dad's letting me borrow his DS for the time being, and we're looking on eBay for possible replacements. Until I have a new DS, I recently installed some more older games on the netbook, so I won't have a problem with a lack of access to portable gaming.

Also, everyone in the family except my dad has their own DS.

- My mom can easily get to stage 255 in Wario's Woods but doesn't play many games beyond that (though she did play a lot of Galaga while she was pregnant with me, which is what I blame the shmup love on).
- My dad plays classic first-person shooters like Blake Stone, can also get to stage 255 in Wario's Woods, played a lot of both Taito Legends packs when we got them, played a lot of GLTron (excellent fanmade lightcycle game) before it stopped working on his computer, plays a lot of GB and GBA games, and while he isn't interested in much for the DS, he wants to play Retro Game Challenge.
- One of my brothers plays a lot of JRPGs and console first-person and third-person shooters.
- My sister played a bit of Kingdom Hearts, played through Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life Special Edition several times, and got about a third of the way through Katamari Damacy.
-My youngest brother plays a lot of racing games.

So yeah, my family plays a lot of games. My youngest brother and my mom are the only two people in the house who don't own a DS (not counting myself since I have two non-working ones and am working on getting a replacement).

No, that's GiftedGirl.

Bidding on DS Lites on eBay is a pain when you've limited yourself to a price range of "less than what GameStop wants for a used one". I've lost five or six now because of this, including one that had a copy of Chrono Trigger with it. I'm borrowing Kalee's DS until I obtain a new one, but the speakers appear to be broken, so no music games for me.

EDIT: Going a bit higher than I originally wanted (about $80 after shipping instead of around $70) got me an onyx DS Lite with M&LSS (which I already had, but oh well).

Well, I got GTA4 for PC. I installed it, jumped through all its ridiculous hoops (joining Rockstar Social Club, installing Rockstar Social Club, joining Games for Windows Live, installing Games for Windows Live, getting all the updates for both of them), and when I ran it, it was slow as molasses on its lowest settings. Either this game is too advanced for my computer, not optimized enough, or my computer just sucks. I did manage to milk about ten minutes of seven-FPS entertainment out of it before uninstalling, though.

From what I hear, GTAIV was just a horribly made port. I've read reports of people with awesome computers having a lot of trouble getting the bloody thing to run satisfactorily. What are your computer stats?

Like, whatever mid-range was circa 2007. I mean, I would've put up with ass-terrible graphics if it'd just run well (it still looked like a top-tier Xbox 360 game, even with graphical settings on their lowest, which kind of ****ed me off).

As a kind of benchmark, my PC can run Crysis very smoothly, with the graphical quality of HL2 (which is to say, not bad).

No one was in this house. Nothing touched my TV.

Indeed, I updated my File Patch code from 3.2a to 3.51 and already the problem seems to have gone away... at the very least, I've rebooted my console and not run a custom song.

Highly wrong. The DS Rhythm Heaven is one of the best ever and came out only this year. BIT.TRIP CORE is also original and nice. And The Beatles: Rock Band has possibly the best opening cutscene in gaming history.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: WarpRattler on July 22, 2009, 03:49:40 AM
Rhythm Heaven is indeed awesome.

Reasons Band Hero should not exist, or at least not the way Activision wants it to exist:
1. Activision already has one successful franchise that uses the exact same specialized peripherals (i.e. Guitar Hero: World Tour and its full set of band peripherals, the same equipment being used for Band Hero). Releasing another music game with gameplay absolutely identical to their current hit series but a different title is nothing more than a blatant cash-grab.

2. Every bit of info Activision has released about the game says it's Guitar Hero 5, except with a pop-rock playlist (with heavy emphasis on "pop") rather than a hard-rock playlist (with, in many cases, heavy emphasis on "hard") and a different name, which leads to my third point...

3. They could release this as Guitar Hero: Pop Rock or something similar and have it sell just fine. Its current name serves no purposes aside from using the copyright they already registered and confusing the non-gamers who buy these things for other people into thinking "hmm, this must be what they meant by Rock Band" and, instead of buying their grandchildren or whatever the Rock Band game they all said they wanted, buying them Guitar Hero But Don't Tell Anyone Edition, Also It's Not Even The Same Kind Of Music The Normal Guitar Hero Games Have. Anyone else remember an MS Paint comic from a few years back that had a dad buying a PS3 for his kid at launch and thinking he was so clever for buying the most expensive console, only to find that it's the opposite of what the kid wanted? I don't doubt that with a name that uses part of the name of another big franchise, this kind of situation will be rather common when Band Hero hits. (Side note: I have a feeling this kind of situation is what led to the only full-price sales of Rock Revolution.)

I really dislike the Battle Frontier.  What's the point of training your Pokemon painstakingly all the way to level 100 is they're going to limit their levels, the game mechanics, or even which Pokemon can enter?

I always go to the Fight Area thinking "It's probably not as awful as I remember," and every time I turn my DS off in frustration ten minutes later, reminded why I'm disgusted with it.  None of this would bother me so much if you didn't have to get 100 consecutive wins at the Battle Tower to get a star on your trainer card. 

That reminds me, I also rather dislike being a perfectionist.

Post by: Weegee on July 23, 2009, 09:06:55 PM
I feel for you, man. Given the unreasonable technicalities the Battle Tower and its derivatives impose on the player, I sometimes feel that using hacked Pokemon is within reason. For instance, I've had an enemy Rhyperior's Focus Band work three times in a row, a foe's Gliscor successfully use Guillotine on two-thirds of my party before they could retaliate, and more. I've actually amassed 42 straight wins as of yet, although it all really revolves around luck: A few critical hits will get you farther than any tactfully-compiled team.

I've barely touched the Battle Tower/Frontier/Arena/etc., but I have started back up playing Pokemon Colosseum and I must say that though I like the aesthetic and battle system, there's pretty much nowhere to grind/make money.

In other, far more angsty news, my PS3 crashed a few days ago for no discernable reason. A system restore was eventually in order, but all game data was still there. Good, right? Well, there's one thing it didn't remember: All the profiles on the system. Now my brother and I have no PSN accounts and so all the DLC we bought is nonfunctional (and, in the process, we've fallen prey to an infamous glitch and/or misguided security feature that nullifies Trophy acheivement in LittleBigPlanet unless game data is erased). Solutions are being tested for all of the above, and all I hope is that I don't have to buy a bunch crap all over again or never be able to get another Trophy (that, or erase my LBP data).

Well like I said, all the game data was intact, though since any and all accounts no longer existed it was like a guy with amnesia, existing but not knowing anything about who it belonged to. I swiftly saw to it that all copyable data (LocoRoco Cocorrecho can't be copied for some reason, but it's pointless enough that I don't think I'd miss it worst-case-scenario) was put on an SD card or thumb drive.

I can't be positive, but I've heard that they're sloppy with GH or RB timing in recent games and you can't rely on the actual music playing to help you stay in sync. That is one thing I have against those games in particular. Also, it seems most people aren't aware other rhythm games exist. I don't actually have a problem with other, non-Harmonix non-EA rhythm games. Just the fact that they are the only ones the average person plays, and you know I don't consider them worthwhile.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Glorb on July 28, 2009, 12:08:08 PM
The non-Harmonix developed GHs have only-passable-quality charts focused on having the guitarist play as much [dukar] as possible. While Harmonix did make some concessions by having players play saxaphone and keyboard parts, Neversoft and whatnot have you play turntable scratches, random sound effects, and sometimes bass notes, not to mention they feel almost everything has to be a three- or four- or five-note chord. They're simply not as good at doing notecharts.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Toad on July 28, 2009, 01:09:13 PM
Neversoft has never played musical instruments before.

I'm not sure if I should have angst over this, but for every game that I've been trying to film in my project (the Mario theme catalog), I've started a whole bunch of new files. My OCD tells me that I must complete all these files that I've started.

I've finished all the games before, but the newness of the files demands that I finish them again.

The notes always have and still do line up fine with the music. GH does have a larger input window so you could conceivably play an entire song slightly ahead or behind the music and succeed. But that's your problem, not the game's. If you're on beat you'll hit the notes. When Harmonix jumped to RB they tightened the timing and Neversoft has stuck with the looser GH window.

And regardless of your personal opinion of the GH/RB gameplay, if you think the fact that in five years we've gone from playing rhythm games with a couple dozen Japanese-made covers to getting an entire game of Beatles master tracks with full albums of DLC continually coming is a bad thing, you're straight messed in the head.

I'm not sure if angst is the right word for it, but I worry about my dad.  He always called my step-mother before lunch and before coming home from work.  He ate lunch at home with her most days too.  Now he's all alone in a house full of her stuff.

She'd been collecting dishes and books for her kids, grandkids, etc.  My step-mother didn't want anything gone through for at least two weeks after she was gone.  Now  that most of the family has gone back to their homes he has to sort all of stuff out almost completely on his own. 

On top of all of all that her clinically crazy brother is still living in a camper at my dads house.  He had attacked my step-mother at least once and is there because he was put in her custody after something happened with the police.  Now my dad has to get him off the property before he hurts anyone else. 

Edit:  BTW, this was my step-mother's only post here:  http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?action=profile;u=58270;sa=showPosts  She never got to hold Hannah, but at least she saw her on the web cam once and saw some pictures.
I've been going through some of my old posts and many seem surreal.  Some even seem like someone else could have written them, but his one is special.  It haunts me.  It was a very sad time when my step-mother died and I now realize that I didn't even say that in the above post.

Okay, I'm not quite sure this counts as angst (more like bewilderment really), but here goes (the following story is probably mildly NSFW).

So I'm at my girlfriend's house when one thing leads to another and we're making out. I'm thinking, good job Glorb, until she pulls away. My first thought is that my odor offends, so I ask if anything's wrong. She says no and then asks "Oh my god, you know what would be so hot?"

Now at this point, several thoughts are rushing through my head. Part of me is thinking aw yeah, I might just get lucky. Another part is thinking what if she says something really creepy or weird? I say "What?" and that's when she gives this gem:

Quote from: Morgan
If, like, I walked in on you masturbating, and you were really nervous 'cause I saw you, and I said, "Don't be", and then I helped you out.

This prompts the biggest "uhhhm" I've ever made as I struggle to make sense of this perfect storm of insane words, like it was a sentence specifically constructed to be a subliminal attack on my mind. I'm tempted to say "Whatever floats your boat" but fear that might offend her. So eventually she asks "Wait, is that really weird or something?" I go "Yeah, kind of" and the subject kind of drifts away.

But like, it is weird, right? What exactly does "helping me out" entail? Like, giving me pointers on proper noodle-yanking protocol? Should I be creeped out by this or not?

Maybe she was just trying to sound sultry but is bad at it from lack of practice (especially if she's innocent like you say). I recommend putting her to the test and next time you're hanging out in her room and she leaves to get a drink or something, whip it out and pretend to get busy.

Suit yourself, but I'd advise trying not to sound so desperate you ask for "pics or it didn't happen".

Well, if I'm to believe you're not lying you would do so. Unless you're telling the truth, in which case your girlfriend will probably upload them in the future as some sort of payback.

In any case, it seems like I win this battle.

Back in high school, I was in this group project with two other guys and a girl. The girl asked us whether we had or have girlfriends and she only got an answer out of my friend Will. She then proceeded to ask him about his escapades with her in the bedroom.

I was both disturbed and amused by this.

I hope my filling isn't made of lead, because I think I can taste it. Also, that tooth has gotten ridiculously sensitive to cold and pressure ever since it got filled. I have to make a conscious effort every time I eat or drink not to chew with that tooth or get any liquid near it, or it hurts like heck. And this is after the dentist fixed it. Before, it was perfectly fine. And it wasn't a cavity or anything, just the enamel was soft or something because of some genetics.

I don't think I mentioned it before, but the sheriff in this town almost ran me over a few weeks ago, and apparently didn't notice, or at least didn't care. He was doing about 65 down our small, unpainted country back road (which I'm pretty sure has a speed limit of 40 or so). It was night. I was walking my dog, wearing light-colored clothing and carrying a flashlight. I turned from my dog back to the road and saw the cop car not thirty feet from me, with his headlights on, and got out of the way about a second before he went by. Didn't slow down a bit.

On the way back from the bank today, we ended up behind him. He was doing 25. In broad daylight.

Also, I accidentally set FCE Ultra on my Wii to progressive scan mode, don't have a progressive scan TV, and can't figure out how to change it back so something actually displays on the screen.

but then I decided to just delete the settings file and that fixed everything nevermind

Toad, I can help you with that angst.

http://www.esnips.com/web/mariogalaxy

It's in 4 parts and still good as far as I know. I got the link like 4 months after Galaxy came out. However, the intro on two songs is cut off (I guess to not have background sound).



I have some angst. A friend of mine got pulled into a little problem when his buddy decided to steal a bunch of stuff while on trip out of state. The guy told him he stole a bunch of stuff about 100 miles out of the town they were leaving. They got back and I was given an 80 gig PS3. I wasn't told it was stolen or anything. I went to a pawn shop to get rid of it and buy the piano I wanted (this was back in late May).

Well, I got a call from a sheriff in Florida a couple days ago and the first thing he said was, "Hey, a person reported some items missing and the PS3 you pawned off was one of the items stolen. It was pawned in Texas and the receipt has your name on it. I know you pawned it off, so this is my case and I can charge who I want, so if you want to cooperate, I'm not gonna charge you for anything, but if you wanna help your buddies and try and lie to me, then you're gonna dig yourself into a deep hole."

So.... I'm getting accused of [dukar] I didn't even do. I didn't know the PS3 was stolen until the sheriff called and told me it was stolen three months after the fact. I gave the sheriff a statement which he recorded, obviously, but this is friggin' ridiculous. I don't have time for this crap.

RAR files are archives. You need WinRAR or 7-zip or a program like that.

I don't like to talk about that openly, so I'll PM you the answer to that.

Also, sometime ago, my boyfriend sent me a RAR of all the songs. The quality is great, has all the song intros (as far as I know. It's been awhile since I played SMG) and has proper soundtrack titles. Shame that I don't know where he got it, so I suppose this comment isn't as helpful as I'd like it to be.

No, I don't believe it is. On Rainbow Mario, the song still speeds up as usual, but then the powerdown sound occurs; the soundtrack just keeps going and fades out. Also, on some of the songs you can hear a couple footsteps from Mario.

Toad, I'm sorry that the parts are all screwed up; after reading that I went and checked it....aaaand how did that happen? It was correctly numbered when I downloaded it originally... Oh yeah, you probably wanna go ahead and download WinRAR. Seems a bit more user-friendly and faster. Only drawback being... you can't extract files that need to be specifically 7-zipped.

That caterpillar is scary looking...

But on the subject of this sheriff crap, I'm not freakin' out over it. They probably won't call me again once they talk to the guy who actually stole the stuff, so I'm just gonna hang tight and hope that my friends don't go to jail.

Man, I hate posting so often after previously posting in a thread, but I've got some more angst..

There was a Toad (http://www.gohastings.com/product/TRENDS/Super-Mario-Brothers-Toad-5-in/sku/278560914.uts) figure at Hastings a while back, and I knew that I should have just bought it right then. Alas, having no money on me at the time, I could not.

My wife and I finally went to Hastings tonight to get Toad. We found instead two Koopa Troopas (one of which I bought) and Daisy. Apparently, the company that makes these has moved on to series 2, and since Toad was in series 1 (I assume) he would be harder to find now that series 2 is out.

I know I could just order from the website, but we can't afford it at the present time.
/me sighs deeply.

Maybe our paths will cross Toad's again..

Oh, the most ridiculous part of Varth? It has thirty levels taking a total of about forty-five minutes to complete, which seems like a short amount of time until you realize that someone playing through this on an actual arcade machine would be spending forty-five minutes standing there (or sitting if they're lucky) with no breaks. For the record, I haven't gotten past level four yet.

Yes, there seems to be these phases of crap flying from everywhere all the time.

It'll be trolls and/or stupid people, then it'll be a crapfest of random google images that are supposed to be hilarious or something, then it'll be thousands of inside jokes that quite a few people may not know so the people who do know snicker to themselves about it, then the day ends with memes that are overused and/or memes that no one gives two flying sh**s about. Repeat.

Oh wait, don't forget the people who love to read a person's posts and instantly offer some sarcastic comment and optionally post some random image to go with it... which I imagine will happen with my post in about 45 seconds.

Even now they lurk among us in our very threads evading detection; hiding behind their anonymity. No more I say! Let their dereliction be exposed! I am no historian but I am sure this has worked with no repercussions in the past.

Assuming that you're heading into grade 11, wouldn't that give you another year to register?

Behold: A minimum-security prison in Leoben, Austria (http://conceptrends.com/2009/08/13/can-you-guess-what-kind-of-building-is-it/). It's infuriating to know that criminals in some countries are getting better lodging and more attention than the poor or homeless in the country. Sure, prisoners deserve humane living living standards as well, but it's hard to see how putting them in this palace for a couple years would teach them anything. Aside from the emoticons/text smilies on the facilities' ceiling, the place has more postmodern flair than most upper-class estates. Austrian petty criminals, beware: Abide by the law, or YOU could be "forced" to live in this "prison" at the nation's taxpayers' expense!

How long have you been living in CA? This place always catches fire near the end of summer/beginning of fall, I'm practically used to smoke and ash falling from the sky in October.

Also, as a half-time alternate layout user, I support this movement of labeling these freaks. Seeing everything in a white light and having corresponding images to our names as well as a post count only brings tension among the group.

Personally, I blame it all on MaxVance. If he hadn't come along and made the Forum Games and Stories split into two, as well as making posts in those boards null, we wouldn't be in this mess. I say off with his head.

I've been living in California my whole life. The weather is usually pretty mild and it's never very seasonal. We've been having some pretty hot summers. I'm just not one for very hot weather. The ash fell in my backyard last year and the smoke has been giving me migraines this year.

Here I thought you were fluent in internet culture Weegee.

DEM LEGS is basically a really blunt way of saying you like the toned legs on a girl, similar to DOSE HIPS or the more popular DAT ASS.

I see a lot of those, but the legs always stand out to me because there is absolutely no shortage of them in Long Beach.

Time at school is, for me, a seemingly-endless expanse of featureless land so enshrouded in absolute blackness that one’s hand can’t be seen before his eyes. Weekends provide merely a flickering wisp of firelight barely capable of illuminating the ground around its base, although Winter, Spring and Summer breaks are akin to stepping out from the murky darkness into glorious daylight… for a time, after which time's downward spiral begins its march again.

I doubt it. See, long-running members such as TEM and LD get a free pass on saying/doing annoying/******baggy stuff (bing a dick, saying the same thing over and over, abusing colored text to the point that it gets banned, etc.) because they're just like so totally cool and gangsta. He's just taking advantage of that privilege.

"Your attachment couldn't be saved. This might happen because it took too long to upload or the file is bigger than the server will allow.

One attachment in question is a 170-KB PNG picture which would normally go through fine. Any suggestions?

No body seems to have it here. On Sunday, the Toys 'R Us $10 gift card deal apparently wasn't valid to the one near me, and they didn't even have the shipment of them in. Today I checked Target and Walmart, neither of which had them shipped in. If no one has them shipped in by tomorrow, I'm gonna be pretty mad.

The fact that sites like DeviantArt have perpetuated this horrific subculture that as long as everyone tries something, they cannot be criticized. Like, even if you fail abysmally at what your goal is, there's always someone there to pat you on the back and say good job.

Usually when I have a sore throat, I gargle with salt-water and after a few days, the soreness is gone. To be on the safe side, Toad, it's probably best not to feed your children anything that contains peanuts. They might be allergic to it too. :(

I'm sincerely disappointed with Nintendo Power, or at least their new management: A few days ago I purchased their new 2009/10 calendar (http://www.nintendopower.com/images/Cal.pdf), only to realize that Christmas, Easter and Good Friday had all been omitted while all the secular holidays remained. Such an apalling act of political correctness is too major to have been a mere oversight. It's not enough to make me unsubscribe from the magazine, but I've lost some serious respect for the folks at NP.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Ultima Shadow on October 03, 2009, 06:59:04 PM
I have ANGST because it seems like the rest of the world is subscribing to this new train of thought, just as Nintendo Power did. The Australian government's at the forefront of such retarded activities, of course; trying to implement an internet filter to slow our comparatively-terrible net speeds down whilst blocking some sites without illegal content (sure, I don't go on 4chan or anything like that, but to take away our right to see it just because of some power-hungry politician's whim is nothing short of moronic).

Oh, and they're banning sale of Left 4 Dead 2 as well... why can't the government loosen up, ffs? I'm almost glad Anonymous hacked our PMs website, if this is the sort of idiocy us Australians can come to expect.

Post by: N64 Chick on October 03, 2009, 07:21:43 PM
Now that you mention it, Weegee, I'm not too happy with Nintendo Power either. The magazine has gone downhill since the aforementioned change of management. But now that I've moved, new problems have surfaced such as having an issue completely skipped.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: ShadowBrain on October 03, 2009, 07:42:52 PM
Nintendo Power's been exponentially sucking for years, but removing Christmas from the calendar? Typos and an ugly layout are one thing, but this goes beyond editorial trifles in a videogame magazine and into a political issue with some far-flung implications. Who else has done this?
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Weegee on October 03, 2009, 08:10:46 PM
It seems as though Nintendo Power unwisely exchanged their trademark kitsch for a generic "hipness" in the year leading up to and since their move to Future US. Gone are the days of a substantial fan art section, cheat/walkthrough features, and permanent writers with personality. That being said, I've only been a subscriber since 2003, but the decline in quality is noticeable nonethless.

That's...painful, ShadowBrain. How'd the weight drop on your head?!
There was this rack in the school weightroom that had the little weights at the top and the big ones at the bottom. Someone had put too many five-pounders on the top, and when I was putting a heavier weight on down below, the jostling caused to fall. It wasn't a dead-on hit, though, but it certainly was more than a mere graze.

That...sounds really painful...

Speaking of heavy things landing on you, I think I might've dropped something on the big toe of my right foot because there's a huge horizontal crack on it. I honestly don't recall what could've hit it though. At least it doesn't actually hurt and I think the nail will eventually grow out. Until then, I've slapped some nail polish on it (and the other nine toe nails of course).

This means there's a good chance that TrackMania 2 could be - and this is terminology I hate to use - dumbed-down casual fare. Remember, this is Ubisoft we're talking about.

Thank you, Mr. Wiggles. While Ubisoft Montreal may be responsible for some great games, one look at some of the other games in the company's catalog should be more than enough to tell you that Ubisoft should not touch TrackMania.

What do you think they're going to do? Buy Nadeo to get the IP rights, then fire everyone and build their own game, Imagine: TrackMania Babiez?

They're not going to do that.

Ubisoft has many, many development teams. Some make good games. Some don't. Nadeo is now one of them. It won't do anything to them.

I await the day when there is only one giant company so I can stop watching people FREAK THE F OUT every time one company buys another.

"...and sharing the expertise of Nadeo's teams with our company's other developers."

This sounds a lot to me like not firing everyone, but rather splitting them up and suddenly we only have like one guy from Nadeo working on TrackMania.

But whatever. We'll see what happens next year (if the game doesn't get delayed for whatever reason, of course, and if nothing happens before then).

I have extreme angst because I turned auto-renewal off for Xbox LIVE's auto-renewal bullcrap, but I still have been charged for another three months of LIVE.

Apparently, the credit card was declined when it attempted to charge it (which was not an authorized charge in the first place), so I was told that I needed to modify my existing payment option... so after 2 minutes of wondering why I was being charged again, I went into to edit it and tell it to forget (and permanently remove) the credit card info and I wasn't allowed to remove it. Then, out of nowhere, I'm signed out of Xbox LIVE and told that my account has been suspended because of a payment error. It said I could still have all the privileges of a Silver account and still be able to play games in any type of online setting which I thought was peculiar.... of course, I sign into my account to play Call of Duty 4 aaaaand... no dice. I'm kicked off LIVE for real.

So... apparently, Microsoft went ahead and charged me for another 3 months, but the card was declined so there's a friggin' transaction pending for it, and I can't remove the card or anything because it's linked to my active account and that pending BS. I just want to remove the card information and get on with my life, but I can't remove it until I use another credit card that is legit to cover it. So, the transaction is obviously final... I have to go put in new info on a working card for the transaction to go through, go call customer support again to have them remove the card info immediately after the transaction clears, let the three months run out on it, etc. Oh, but wait. This is even better: My account reverted back to Silver when it found out the credit card exploded, so before my account got suspended and all this crap happened, I went to redeem my pre-paid card. Okay, well, the card redeemed and everything and my profile had been upgraded back to Gold, so I thought "Hell yes, that went smoothly." Well, no, I still can't play any games until this transaction goes through but I was able to redeem my pre-paid card and have my account upgraded back to Gold... so basically, that means that my 3 months is ticking away and I can't do a friggin' thing about it until this stupid card crap is taken care of. Another question is: since my 3 month card is redeemed and apparently active, when the transaction does finally go through and it renews, is it going to stack on top of the three months from the pre-paid card or am I gonna be out $20 for a worthless piece of plastic that I had just redeemed?

This is complete and utter bullcrap, to say the least. I entered the card info back in April to get three months. After three months, I noticed it renewed itself for another three months. The second I realized this, I called XCrap Support to turn auto-renewal off... keep in mind that was early July-ish... so here I am, another three months later, and Microsoft is trying to charge me for a renewal that I cancelled almost three months ago. It's just weird that you have to call Microsoft to tell them to turn auto-renewal off. It's so easy to put your card info on LIVE, but then nigh impossible to get it back off again if you run into a trivial matter.

I mean, what is so hard about removing the card? Why is Microsoft like "OH LOL WE ALREADY TRIED TO CHARGE IT. ITS PENDING LOL U CANT DO NOTHIN BOUT IT SO PAY UP"? Does Microsoft think you're trying to con them out of a subscription or something? You'd think that if the card didn't go through, you could cancel the pending transaction/remove the credit card info online or over the phone explaining what the situation is and that you are, in fact, the cardholder, and then that would mean you wouldn't have your subscription renewed-- simple. Well, no, apparently not.

I can't sign into LIVE to modify my credit card info, but I need to access Live TO change it. I can't sign into xbox.com because it says my account doesn't exist (yet I've visited the site dozens of times, queued up downloads from there, etc.). I've been calling support, and I'm talking to complete idiots that sound like they're reading questions and answers off a sheet of paper. I get redirected to the "supervisor," I'm on hold for 3 minutes, then I get hung up on!

What it boils down to is:

-My Xbox is an offline brick until this can be sorted.
-Microsoft charged the credit card after I phoned Xbox Support to have them get rid of the auto-renewal BS almost 3 months before the renewal date... so that is basically a crime. If you tell them to not renew your card automatically, then they are not allowed to just carry on and do the opposite of what you requested.

I've been reading horror stories (interestingly all on the LIVE forums) about people who have found themselves in my shoes and it's pretty ridiculous what they have to do to rectify the problem(s). Maybe Microsoft needs to be smacked around with a class-action lawsuit.

My wrist hurts after having to revitalize dried underglaze so I could use it for my teapot project in my pottery class. For those who don't know, when pottery glazes and underglazes dry, they become something similar to chalk-in-a-jar; completely solid and utterly useless. Returning it to a useable state requires breaking the solidified mass out of the jar and grinding it with a mortar and pestle until it is turned to powder, then putting the powder back into the jar and mixing it with water until it's able to be painted onto the pottery again. It gets worse when you realize I had to do the same exact thing yesterday, albeit with a different color. Even more angst-worthy is that I didn't even need that much of the color I was using. Nameless person who let the underglaze dry out in the first place, thank you for helping me develop early arthritis.

Well, I do have a pottery class, in fact, and I think that did happen to me. In my case, at least, it wasn't all that difficult to fix (though it was certainly frustrating).

Anyway, I'm starting to think I must've ****ed off some gypsy, because now I've got two more staph infections--one under my right arm and one on the underside of my lower leg (calf?)--and my brother has one as well, and/or maybe-cellulitus. I'm supposed to go see a dermatologist... eventually.

Any reason you're sharing that kind of personal information on a public internet forum? I mean, yeah Angst thread, but is this the sort of thing you really need to be posting? Now I not only know you have staph infections, but where they are. These are things I did not want to know. Is this helping you in some way?

It's not like I came into this thread to complain (the irony), and your post alone probably wouldn't have triggered my "complain about member's post" reflex, but in addition to the accumulation of past perusal the decision was made for me. I can only ignore this stuff for so long.

But hey, you avoided answering my question. I'm not particularly concerned with what illness you have, it's that it's not doing anyone else any good. Does my knowing where your infections are help you in some way? I'm not your doctor, and I have to assume he's not posting here either.

Indeed, SB. This thread's purpose is to let users vent their problems, no matter how trivial, superficial or unpleasant they may be. Better here than in an unnecessary new topic made solely for staph infections, right? Besides, the rants posted here make for interesting discussion fodder.

On that note, it turns out that I can't download Abbey Road in its entirety on The Beatles: Rock Band. Apparently, eight Wii games and a handful more VC titles require 1400 blocks of Wii system memory, not leaving nearly enough for several 100+ block song downloads.

I'm not arguing the thread's purpose, as there are an embarrassing amount of pages that paint a clear picture, but instead that regardless of the thread/topic there are things that really don't need to be shared on a public forum. Do all of the posts here fall into that category? No, I expect there are some legitimate posts in here somewhere. Am I saying this guy's staph infections fall into that category? Yes.

Things like having a toothache, headache, jerk friends, staph infection can be interesting topics, but I am telling you right now that stating that you have them won't. Or in this case, stating where you have them.

 To answer your question, PaperLuigi, I want the same thing from him as I want from all members. Quality, interesting talking points, posts that contribute to discussions instead of deterring or halting them.

Did ShadowBrain do anything wrong? No, I don't think so. He went with the flow of this topic. This topic just happens to be awful.

I'm running out of ways to explain this, so I'll ask the question a third time: "What benefit does the author or any other member get from posting/reading posts that don't contribute anything at all?  "Getting it off their chest" is all well and good, but if that's the inevitable response, I have to ask do you really think a public forum is the appropriate outlet for that?

A brief prologue to my angst: Earlier this evening, I was saying how I kind of wanted to go back and watch the Burly Brawl scene in The Matrix Reloaded. Well, by serendipity, my brother is flipping and the movie's playing on G4, immediately prior to the scene in question. So I'm like "yes!"

...But then the both of us are confused and distracted because, for some reason, someone or something added a bunch of grunting to the sequence that is definitely not on the DVD version. I could barely pay attention to the action with two dozen Hugo Weavings sounding like they aren't getting enough fiber. Can anyone explain this? I know they sometimes play the full cuts of movies on TV, but I'm still watching right now and there's nothing else that's different.

I like how opinions of me can stay constant no matter what I do in Call of Duty 4.

Example (my gamertag is Porsche993TT, keep that in mind):


First match of the night: Kills- 9, Deaths- 13

Response: "Ah U SUK PORSH. LOL NIEN TO THIRTEEEN? LOL [darn] U SUCK. NOOB."


Match RIGHT after that one: Kills- 27, Deaths- 6

Response: "OH F*** YOU PORCHE!!!!! THE F***? LOL U MUST SIT AND PLAY TIHS GAEM ALL DAI OR SUMTHIN??? SOUNDS LIEK U DOTN HAVE A LIFE LOL F*** YOU"

Another thing that sucks:

Forza 3 had the option to buy either the normal game or Limited Collector's Edition. I pre-ordered the LCE and you get 15 extra cars, tons of exclusive tracks, a 2 gig thumb drive w/ a Forza logo on it, Forza keychain, VIP status at the auction house/storefront so your stuff on sell/display has a higher priority than anyone else, a nifty case, and you get a little crown next your gamertag for all to see.

Okay, now, the LCE was only 20 dollars more than the normal game. Hey, no big deal.... but seriously, I have been booted out of lobbies just because I'm an LCE owner. I hear little brats say, "WAAAAAAAAAH I DIDNT GET LCE WHY DO U GIT MOR CARZ AND TRAX THAN ME. BAAWW"

It's just like.... really? Being kicked off and screamed to because I paid a measly 20 dollars more to get everything these kids are whining about? They act like we're evil because we did 3 seconds worth of research to see what the LCE gave you versus the normal game, and made a decision based off that. I also heard kids crying about it on the Forza forums and LIVE saying "I DIDNT KNOW THERE WAS LCE OMFG!!!!!!!!!" It just makes me wonder..... like, do people read anymore? I don't think people read. I think people just look for pictures of what they want and if they scan their eyes and it says "forza" or something like that, for example, they'll just buy it first thing.

I've never in my life experienced that kind of behavior over a game. Before you say "lol thats just xbox live for ya and another reason nintendo shouldnt do it," consider that this kind of crap has never happened to me before, even with games like Forza 2 and Call of Duty 4. Being kicked just because I paid 20 extra dollars and got more crap than another kid... and him not liking that fact... is just insane.

Maybe it's because even Forza was "TRYING TO GET THE 'CASUALS' TO JOIN FORZA SO ANYONE CAN PICK UP AND PLAY," so a lot of "casual," whiny brats got their mommy to buy it for them and started crying once they saw the crown and found out what it was for.

I need a root canal. :(

I thought I take relativley good care of my teeth, but it has been several years since my last cleaning and such. The most recent procedure was two years ago, where they removed my wisdom teeth and did a filling on one of my front teeth (three of my front teeth have/had calcium spots. They look like cavities but are just spots that, for whatever reason, never fully became enamel).

I hope this isn't too painful.. :(

On a comparitavely trivial note, completing Chrono Trigger in its entirety is exasperating. For instance, since I recruited Magus but missed getting a gemstone which unlocks one of his Techs, I must now begin a New Game Plus in order to kill him and gain his Bestiary entry, and then begin another to collect the Black Rock and let Magus join me to in order to unlock his hidden Tech.

They asked if I wanted to use the gas and I said yes, then was afraid it wasn't working since I wasn't nearly as loopy as I was the last go-round. Suddenly they were giving me shots and I knew that surely, the gas had to be on.. XD

No problem, Ultima Dude Bro.

But seriously, report that. The cops aren't gonna be like "OKAY HEY YOU TWO ********S... UM THIS ULTIMA GUY HAS BEEN SAYING THINGS ABOUT YOU TWO... SO UM... KEEP IT DOWN." They will keep everything confidential.

You just need to report it, give them a description of the dudes, let them know where they hang out, or get a number to call if you see them on the street. When you report it, they will do an investigation. Once they get everything together, they can be prosecuted. They could be put in jail for robbery, or if they even so much as laid a finger on you (literally), they can have assault tacked onto their laundry list.

I'm not religious, but I definitely hate it when people are blatantly rude like that.

This is kind of petty, but I finally watched G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra yesterday night and... well, that's 117 minutes of my life I'd like back. I actually have a moderate interest in seeing 2012 and/or Transformers 2 now, if only because I also have a hard time believing at least one of those movies could be as dumb as this one. Now, was it a summer flick technically based on a line of action figures? Yes, but nevertheless, plot holes were rampant, Stephen Sommers' (or whoever's) recycling of a considerable number of cast members from The Mummy series (the Brendan Fraser cameo actually bordered on annoying) was distracting at best, and I think more fridges were nuked than if Fat Man had been dropped on a Kenmore production plant (I don't care if it's "the not too distant future", it's gonna be a while before you can literally watch a guy's memories by shanking his brain). The flashbacks and zoom-ins, as well the Storm Shadow/Snake Eyes backstory, were corny and poorly handled and, as usual, the ending doesn't even try to hide the fact that a sequel's on the way. About the only thing that saved this one were the Accelerator suits and Sienna Miller doing a feature-length Bayonetta impersonation (still, I like cleavage as much as the next 18-year-old nerd, but in the Arctic? It's PG-13; as long as Marlon Wayans is onboard, the least we could've got was a stiff nipple joke).

Here's the thing, though: I don't really know anything about the G.I. Joe... canon? Mythos? In any case, I understand the screenplay was obviously based on the comic books/TV show(s?), but the point is: Does anybody here know enough about whatever phase of the G.I. Joe's 45+ years existence the movie captures that they enjoyed it more than I? Personally, like Star Trek, I'm inclined to think this was a modernized interpretation of the source material for "movie fans", not necessarily longstanding devotees.

That especially applies to 2012. Even watching it for curiosity's sake is buying into the transient hysteria that contemporary media has embraced at the cost of timelessness and artistic credibility.

Simply put, the even if you don't believe in it, the "2012 phenomenon" is another fleeting cultural meme which will be viewed the same way in five years as Y2K is today.

First, there was an actual reason to expect trouble on Y2K (computers).

Second, boycotting the movie 2012 because it's "buying into hysteria" is stupid. The movie is pure fiction and IIRC doesn't even mention Mayans or predictions of any sort, except for the movie poster. Roland Emmerich just loves making movies about the world getting destroyed and 2012 was as good an excuse as any.

If you want an excuse not to see 2012, just don't go because it's not a good movie. ;)  Although I did enjoy one twenty-minute segment that broke through the cynic barrier with pure retarded awesomeness and looped back to cool.

The main reason nothing happened on Y2K is because we got so freaked out about it and tried to fix it, and we actually did. It was never going to be as ridiculous as some people made it out to be, but it would have been at least moderately annoying if we hadn't done anything. Also, it ended up helping us recover from 9/11 faster than we would have otherwise.

Post by: Kuromatsu on December 15, 2009, 07:52:50 PM
Okay so,

I was supposed to go to bed early to wake up at 10 AM to get a haircut and get my senior pictures taken, but miserably failed.
This failure caused me to go into a fit and throw a punch into a plaster wall.
While I was impressed that I actually inflicted a dent in the wall, my pinky knuckle was left with a bloody wound.
10 AM. Went to the barbers shop to get my haircut.
Sighs were exhaled as my Tarzan hair was cut down to a standard mullet.
Haircut over, go to bar to see photographer.
Photographer is a part time bartender, and recommends many outdoor shots.
I try to crack a smile while leaning against a snowy structure while it's below zero degrees fahrenheit, with only a dress shirt and denim pants on a windy day.
After many unsuccessful shots with me not smiling, squinting, and freezing my butt off, the photographer decides this isn't going to work, so we finally go indoors.
After some actually decent shots of me are taken, we're finally done with the pictures.
I then go to school at 3:30 PM to do my schooling. Fighting sleep, I get a chapter of civics done.
6:30 finally arrives in a slowed state of time, and then I finally go home.

I think I had a pretty good day

For an ongoing English project: Four "journals" (but they're only one page) on assorted philosophical articles, a "preliminary thesis" (I'm kind of scared because I don't completely know what that is), and five pages of "notes" (culled chiefly from said journals) for a paper on my integrity. Alone, I could handle that, but I also have quite literally countless scholarships I'm being pressured to apply for (which entails essays, references, etc., and deadlines are fast approaching) and a book I need to get finished for my senior project (two more stories and that's that, but then I've got to get with the publisher and whatnot).

Also, need any more help with that internet thing?

By the way, a "preliminary thesis" is just an outline of what your overall stance or assertion is regarding the matter in question. It's like an extra-convoluted opening paragraph.

I really really really really really really really really hate YoYoGames right now.  Sure, GM8 is out, but apparently the registration key that got me free upgrades to the full editions of the previous two versions means nothing.  So it's either pay $25 for the latest and greatest version, stick with GM7, or find a... less than official method of upgrading.

The new Nintendo Points cards suck. If you actually try to scratch it with a coin, you will end up shredding the cardboard and rendering several numbers illegible before you figure out that you should just ignore the instructions and peel the sticker off (in annoyingly tiny chunks).

Well, guys, I wish I could say I had a great Christmas, but the fact is... Not by a long shot. I don't know if it was viral or what--I mean, I can't figure out any other reason I'd still feel this bad--but at my Dad's birthday party/Christmas Eve party at my aunt's, I spent the better part of the evening sweating it out in the bathroom with the worst nausea I've had since... well, the last time I vomited, I think. The next day, add some weird chest/back pressure (which I'm told is some acid reflux thing). I've eaten barely anything for at least a day. Right now, I miraculously haven't tossed my (Christmas) cookies yet, but the pressure (or heartburn, or whatever it is) has moved to my throat and the stomachache is... well, not as bad.

Oh man, I forgot about that quote... who said that, again?

First I was frustrated because one of the Christmas gifts I got for my brother--the original Sonic the Hedgehog movie--hadn't come. Then, when it finally did--and I figured out it was because it was from Malaysia--I'm now frustrated because it's the Malaysian version of the movie; I mean, it's still in English and it works in my DVD player, but the box art is kind of crude and, due to a shoddy production job, says "Crape Your Knuckles" over "Catch Some Tails". Anyone know a good place to print off the original (which I liked more anyway)? I mean, I got it for my brother as a nostalgic, semi-serious thing, but I really wish it could've been exactly what I was hoping for.

I will be starting my last semester of college in January. I realized a month or two ago that I still need a gym class. I then found out that, although it's not written anywhere, all the gym classes are closed to registration online unless you're a gym major. They open unannounced at random intervals throughout the registration period if there are any slots left, which there never are. By the time they opened up, all that was left was a dance class that was at the same time as the art class I need to take and a gymnastics class (yeah, right). I e-mailed the prof of two of the classes that would fit and asked her to let me in. She said, without explanation, that she couldn't, but that if I keep checking back, "it is likely you will be successful." I wrote her back saying that since my degree and/or however much money it would cost me to come back for one semester to take a one credit class while also paying off the loans without a job hangs in the balance, I want better odds than that. She hasn't written back yet. Classes start on the 4th. Also, the website where you register for classes is down for maintenance until the 3rd. This is bull[dukar].

Until then, peace out polacks.

As I casually mentioned before, my grandma got me three games I already had for Christmas (two of which she had already given me for my birthday), but gave me the receipts and sixty extra dollars to remedy the situation. Unfortunately, the one from GameStop--Dragon Quest IV, for the DS--had been unwrapped by somebody at some point, and as such I was privvy, for the first time, to their wallet-raping buyback rate: The guy was set to give me barely over two bucks for what was a $29.99 game (I know; I had the receipt to prove it). I seriously considered re-shrinkwrapping it and returning it, but I just as soon never enter a GS again (and I'll pass that info on to everyone I know). As for the two games that came from Best Buy--Scribblenauts and Mirror's Edge--I was able to return the former (the money just went back to my grandma's credit card, though), but the latter--even though I had what I'm pretty darn sure was the receipt for it (to confuse things even further, she had two receipts from the same store with the some of the same and some different items on each)--was supposedly not what was on the receipt (how they could figure that out, I don't know, and nor do I know just what the game was if it wasn't Mirror's Edge).

So, in summary, my grandma's getting a little slow, something weird is going on with Best Buy, and GameStop blows like a oscilliating fan in a tornado.

Also, I ate one of almost every free sample in Costco and I'm feeling pretty crappy now.

What really sucks is this is the first time I knew it was ever up for download. I thought they were still just doing it in theaters. Fortunately, the torrent is pretty easy to find.

Anyway, why should a particularly well-made fanfilm be any different than fanart? Legally, they're exactly the same, as you're using copyrighted characters, places, and situations without the express permission of the copyright holder, but Nintendo has never sent cease-and-desist letters to people who draw pictures of Mario. And it's not just that fanart is much more ingrained in the internet and culture as a whole (due to still images traditionally being much easier to host online than videos, and pictures being simpler to draw than a decent-looking film is to make) thereby making it much harder to stop. Nintendo hasn't just been complacent or apathetic about fanart or overlooked it because it would take more effort to stop than it's worth, like they usually are (in praxis) about roms -- they embrace it! In principle, HoT is just a scaled-up version of the colored pencil envelope drawings that used to grace the borders of Player's Pulse.

I understand the need to prevent genericization, and agree that people probably shouldn't be making any money off of properties they don't own (part of me wants to say that BMB along with others deserve what money they can get for their effort, but if you say that, then it's tough to still make it illegal for Warner Bros to go and make their own Zelda movie without ever consulting Nintendo and make millions off of it (let alone steal the stories you write yourself and turn them into movies without you getting any money) without drawing some very poorly-defined and rather ethically questionable lines), but still. George Lucas, for all his flaws, has shown that it's perfectly possible to make buttloads of money while still letting your fanbase do whatever semi-illegal stuff they want so long as they don't use your stuff for profit or porn. Why can't our fandom be like that?

There are several possible interpretations as to why this got shut down while fanart is fine. One is that they're afraid that HoT, unlike most fanart, is professional-looking enough that people might not instantly know it's a tribute and not official, which could be taken as a big compliment to the BMB guys. Another is that there actually is a nonzero chance of Nintendo someday making their own Zelda movie, and so they had more legitimate reasons to care about this than pictures (even really good pictures). And yet another is that there's no chance at all of making a movie -- perhaps Nintendo regularly looks through fanart to find new 2D artists to hire, and therefore they allow it to continue as a free recruiting tool, but since they're never going to make a movie, they have no need of filmmakers, and can freely crush them.

So I just fell in love with a girl through her Facebook profile. She caught my eye in gym class because she's ridiculously cute, and I semi-awkwardly (okay, it was probably fully awkwardly) told her I liked her hair and her nose on the first day; today, on a whim, I looked for her on Facebook (didn't know her last name, so it took a while) and found that it turns out we have a lot in common (both big important fundamental things and small endearing details). So... what the heck am I supposed to do now? Is there a non-creepy way to say "Based on the two hours I spent yesterday trying to find you on Facebook and then looking through all of your groups and fan pages and notes and pieces of flair, I think we should date"?

I might just go for it. It's my last semester here; I really want to screw the rules and and just start carping the diem. Maybe.

EDIT: That was weird... her profile just popped up in a tab right next to this one. My browser's been kind of temperamental lately; I might have clicked it from somewhere a while ago and it just now decided to open, in a weird way. Or maybe it's a sign or something.

Weegee's suggestion: Try to find her on-campus and initiate conversation. Once your acquaintanceship is firmly established, send out a friend request on Facebook. Afterwards, gradually implement an awkward, Michael Cera-style courtship. DISREGARD THAT; MY RELATIONSHIP ADVICE HAS BEEN DEEMED INVALID

Either way, to quote a fellow Forumgoer,
Just do it, man.
...And if things work out, you'll get that girl before I can say Poontang.

Looking up common interests on Facebook and using them as criteria for whether or not you like someone has proven completely ineffectual (and benignly disastrous) in my experience. Suggest you find, talk, spend time first before making any other indications.

ProTip: Don't actually be awkward, no matter what Weegee says. It doesn't help. At all.

Post by: Black Mage on January 12, 2010, 07:15:10 PM
You told her you like her nose? For real?

I'm sure she has a nice nose and all, but that's a really weird thing to say to someone.

Lay off of Facebook and go talk to her (although you might want to keep the compliments normal and not mention your Facebook stalking). Most people get to know each other before they start dating, so ask her out for a cup of coffee or lunch sometime.

Once you've established yourself as a casual acquaintance, go ahead and send a friend invite if she hasn't herself.

At this point you can serenade her with emoticons, or whatever it is you plan to do.

Also, the internet tough-guy in me is angry that you said you love this girl you've spoken to once. You don't.

Post by: CrossEyed7 on January 13, 2010, 12:21:10 AM
I don't even know how to initiate conversation with a girl in the first place (at least, a conversation in which the potential of being more than friends is on the table), let alone when I have to do it while acting like I totally didn't look up all her interests online before really meeting her. So I'm figuring if I do anything, I might actually just gonna be honest and say I looked her up online and thought she sounded cool. Eventually, at least. If I just started talking to her without ever mentioning it, I think I'd feel like I was kind of leading her on (especially if we "just happened" to find out later on that we have common interests).

I'll try to say it in a non-awkward way, but if it wasn't at least a little awkward, it wouldn't really be me. I am willing to change myself for someone, if it's one of the things about me that really needs to be changed and I can genuinely change it, but I don't want to ever pretend to be someone I'm not. I'm not in this dating thing to get in people's pants, I'm looking for a lifelong companion, and if I start building that relationship on deception, it's all downhill from here. Heck, if all I wanted was sex, it's not like I haven't got hands. I don't need to waste anyone else's time if that's what I'm ultimately after (If this part sounds like I'm implying that all of you guys are just a bunch of depraved emotionless sex maniacs, that's not at all what I'm trying to imply. Sorry if it sounded that way. This kind of stuff doesn't usually translate too well from my head into words).

Awkward is who I am, and while I do want to and am trying to become at least a little more socially competent, I don't think I'm ever going to outgrow it completely, and I need someone who will be cool with that part of me, as well as the part of me that compliments noses. I'm not going to intentionally enhance my awkwardness in a vain effort to be more endearing and Cera-esque (well, okay, I might a little, but that seems to be involuntary), but if I tried to overly suppress my awkwardness, it would just be awkward. And if things are going to be awkward anyway, I might as well do it in the way that's familiar to me.

Ugh, I hate being such a drama monarch about this stuff. Every time I think about asking a girl out, it turns into a ten-minute long monologue like this (these four paragraphs are severely pared down from the way it went in my head) that gets way melodramatic. Why can't I be more casual? Do I even want to be? Ah, [darn it], I'm just gonna talk to her tomorrow and say... something. I don't know. Part of me is saying that if she's really right for me, she won't just instantly reject me, but the rest of me is still afraid of ruining my chances with someone who seems to be so perfect. It's kind of like my fear of heights -- whenever I'm somewhere really high up, I get worried about falling, not because the odds of falling are any higher than they are on the ground (they're usually not), but because the consequences of screwing up this time are so high.

Her profile picture is some character from FLCL, so maybe I'll see her at anime club when it starts up next month. Maybe I'll just wait for that. Might be a bit of a gamble, though.

I also notice that it seems like I basically came here for advice, then rejected all advice that wasn't what I already wanted to believe. Sorry about that, guys. I'll try to be a better advice recipient next time. I know going with my gut has never gotten me a girl before, but in retrospect, all of the girls it failed on would have been wrong for me anyway, and I don't think that's just sour grapes talking.

So me and the girl are in a volleyball class together this month, if I didn't already mention that. I went there today all ready to just go up and say "Hey, are you doing anything later?" when class was over. And then our team spent way longer finishing our match than her team did (there's four teams, with two matches being played at a time; her team and my team were playing the other two teams, not each other) and she was gone right before we finished. And tomorrow afternoon I'm going home after class for my brother's birthday. I had to laugh at the almost poetic annoyingness. There's a movie on campus Sunday night, though; maybe I can ask her tomorrow if she wants to go to that.

She is red-headed, incidentally. And she does look kind of little, despite being the same age as me, probably because I'm used to people two years older than me since I skipped a couple of grades. And she's a girl.

Post by: bobman37 on January 13, 2010, 04:21:29 PM
My advice is to never mention that you looked her up on Facebook and absorbed all her information.

Speaking as a man who has been pursued by girls in this very fashion, I can say it is pretty creepy and uncomfortable when someone knows a lot more about you than you probably want them to know (at least, at first).

You may be comfortable with being creepy and awkward, but she probably isn't. While it's OK with you to bring up the Facebook subject, it might not be OK with her, and you might kill any shot you have in the future. I know for sure that I have categorized the aforementioned girls that contacted me through Facebook as "kind of creepy; not my type."

Instead, talk to her in real life. Try to get on her team in volleyball, or hit the ball over to where she is and go get it. Make her notice you, maybe even let her catch you noticing her. Eventually, when it comes time to talk, act naturally, as if you wanted her to be your friend, because that's what all good relationships start as.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Glorb on January 14, 2010, 04:20:40 PM
Yeah, I'll just say this: Go up and be yourself, but don't try to be yourself, because you'll just end up amplifying your self-described "awkwardness" to a degree that isn't charming or anything. I mean, some girls like cute, awkward, Michael Cera-esque guys. Others don't. Just go up and strike up a conversation about something ordinary and non-offensive, and take off from there. Let her talk more than you let yourself talk; don't interrupt. If she likes something you like, point it out, but don't go off on how you're this movie's #1 fan or you watch every episode of this show on DVD.

My general rule for how to appeal to girls is this: Dress nice enough that you look like you care about yourself, shave (but not too often), don't overdo your hair (this applies to things like gel, combing, etc.; basically, don't look like either a choir boy or a jelly-haired ******bag), wear deodorant, and don't wear the same thing two days in a row. Axe or Old Spice is kind of necessary, I'm afraid.

Is it just me or do girls like guys who are are girly themselves these days? As in:

-They like virtually 100% hair-less men, facial hair included.
-They like guys with very long hair.
-They like guys with way too many piercings or piercings in areas where women traditonally wear them (or in areas that girls would typically get pierced in this day in age, such as the tongue, septum, etc.).
-They like guys who dress "scene" aka. girl pants, tight & short shirts, etc. (or if they dress like an emo)
-They like guys who are all overly-sensitive and emotional. "aww they're real people" as a bad example.
-They like guys who are smaller in stature and muscle mass (I guess for the "aww cute" factor).
-And as a rarer example, I see some girls that don't even like guys that give women the traditional "women courtesy" treatment that guys are basically obligated to uphold, such as opening doors for women, loaning them jackets, shielding them from the rain, etc.

Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: CrossEyed7 on January 14, 2010, 07:24:34 PM
None of her pictures are close enough to give a good idea of what it's like in real life (okay, I can't really say none of them, since I haven't gone through all 476 of them -- nor do I plan to anytime soon, because that would be kind of creepy (though not much more creepy than posting a picture of her on here would be, I suppose)); it's a rather subtle cuteness that I only started noticing after she turned a certain angle when I was standing next to her. Anyway, I promised myself that I'd stay away from her profile at least while I'm gone over the weekend, in the hopes that I forget some of the stuff I read on there and then rediscover it later in actual conversation. She looks a little bit like an older version with shorter hair of that picture of Luigison (http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=5060.msg554814#msg554814) that I thought looked like Hayley Mills. Okay, the actual Hayley Mills would be a better comparison (This one (http://nogoodforme.filmstills.org/images/hayleymills2.jpg) with a little of this one (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2004/2053985687_53821f526f_o.jpg) thrown in comes relatively close), but it's more fun to compare her to Luigison.

During serving practice today, her ball rolled away from her and into my general direction. I ran over to it, grabbed it, and handed it to her. As stupid and insignificant and routine as that should have been, my heartrate for those ten seconds was way higher than it ever got during the five 3-on-3 matches we played. It's like I'm in 8th grade all over again, except everyone doesn't hate me this time and I'm actually doing decently in gym.

Post by: Lizard Dude on January 14, 2010, 08:19:58 PM
Now I'm a bit confused, because becoming obsessed with a stranger through pure physical sight implies attractiveness, but refusal to post a pic, the phrases "rather subtle cuteness" at a "certain angle", and comparison to Luigison (!) imply she's on the butt-side of ugly (no offense L-son).

No matter, you've given me more than enough info to find the pics myself.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: CrossEyed7 on January 15, 2010, 04:32:54 PM
I had a feeling that was why you friended me. You won't find her in my friends list, obviously. You'll probably know her profile if/when you see it (depending on what her privacy settings are), but you'll have to go through everyone at my college to find her (unless you hacked into my Gamespot account, as the only place I've mentioned her by name is my private blog on there). The "rather subtle cuteness" was referring solely to her nose, and what it adds to her overall goodlookingness I'm not going to post pictures of her here because that would be creepy and my chivalry or whatever is finally kicking in. And you have to admit young Luigison looked rather androgynous in that picture. I didn't become obsessed with her through pure physical sight; her looks were what initially caught my eye, but it was our apparent common interests and similar personalities that have gotten me obsessed more than usual.

I just checked with my other Facebook account, and you won't be able to get to any pictures of her without some hacking skills. Or if she randomly decides to accept a friend request from you. Or if you somehow get a hold of an email address from my school. Or possibly some rather thorough detective work.

Of course, if you already have pictures, then I concede my point, and my new point is just that I'm annoyed at you now. Though also a little bit impressed. But mostly annoyed.

Anyway, I'm gonna shut up now. Everyone go back to your angsting already.

All dickery aside, Crossy, just go up and ask her. Back when I was awkward and such, I lost count of how many girls I let slip through the cracks due to being scared of looking like a loser. If she says yes to a date, that's awesome. If she says no, that's the end of it. It's important not to dwell on her though; despite how movies idealize it, admiring someone from afar over a long period of time is not very emotionally healthy.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: CrossEyed7 on January 17, 2010, 08:57:04 PM
That's what I told myself too after Thursday. It's stupid to not ask her, especially with this being my last semester, because the worst case scenario is it just maybe makes the next few months before I leave marginally more uncomfortable than normal. Hopefully that attitude lasts until Tuesday when we have class again.

At least you don't have to get all the friend vouchers to buy everything from the galleries.  You only need fifteen, and even then, you don't have to do fifteen voucher tasks to receive fifteen green credits.  But if you want to buy all the goodies, you must get all the gold credits.  I suppose I shoulc expound on what I said earlier; I'm only a perfectionist when it comes to a points system if I have to get every point/credit/whatever to buy all of whatever the points buy.  I know I'll never be able to get all the friend vouchers, but it doesn't matter whether I do or not.  It won't show on my file.  So I'm not going to bother.

My main beef with it is that Hypermode was horribly-executed.  I don't like a cast-from-HP weapon in the first place, but it could have been much better if they had kept the beam-switching system, let you select the Phazon Beam as a regular beam, and only take health off for each shot you fire when it's selected, instead of using an energy tank whenever you just need a few shots, or, at the other end, instead of having to re-enter Hypermode when you need more firepower than one energy tank gives you.

Also, the atmosphere of isolation is pretty much gone, what with all the intelligent beings that aren't trying to kill you.  If you can call the GF Troopers intelligent.

I wouldn't say the Prime Trilogy got worse with each progressive game so much as it got less great. I think what happened with Corruption was that they wanted to give the Wii's answer to Halo a shot and kind of missed. Personally, I thought it was good--I beat it, if that indicates anything--but my top issues with it would probably have to be the heavy shooting-gallery feel in some parts (the camera controls were, in my opinion, revolutionary, though), the predictability/repetition and hand-holding that permeated a lot of the gameplay, and the fact that I could not stop being reminded of Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones every now and then.

Ah, I've dropped bombs on my management exams and still managed to squeak through. Wait, no, there's a manager and America joke to be found in there somewhere.

One thing that's been ticking me off a lot lately (besides my lousy ISP HughesNet) is that I'd click a link and it takes me to the link above or below it. So I suddenly find myself somewhere I wasn't expecting. It's clear I'm just not paying attention and clicking the wrong thing, which bugs me.

Another thing that bugs me, and I have to say it, is when someone decides to give a reply a different subject. Then I'm looking through Fungi Forums, I glance at the recent posts column, and see what looks like a new topic. I go into the forum (because I never think to click "show unread posts" instead), and I can't find it anywhere. Oh, it's because that's the name of a new post, not a new topic. I know it's a feature, but I don't care. I didn't think anybody bothered giving subjects to posts here.

And finally, my ISP HughesNet. It's the only viable option for some people out in the rural middle of nowhere like me, so they can afford to offer terrible service at outrageous prices. It's satellite internet, so you can see where this is going. When it does work, it works well enough, but there are times where you can't get service at all. Probably the weather. Secure sites aren't given the "turbopage" treatment on low-price plans like the one I'm on, which means they take so long to be received that they often time out. The HughesNet member login page itself uses a secure site, so sometimes I can't log in to check billing or usage info. Yep, it's one of those ISPs with data caps. I'm on the lowest plan, so that's 200 or 250 MB per day max. Turns out watching YouTube videos sucks that up REAL fast. There are complicated rules on how it's figured when you actually go over, but once you do, you're under the Fair Access Policy (FAP) mode where speed is throttled down to dialup speeds for 24 hours. But it doesn't even seem like dialup, because the pages always time out! It used to be you could check the HughesNet website to see how much you've already downloaded, but for whatever reason I can't get it to work now (it times out or comes up with a browser error) even when trying every browser with popups turned off (it insists on using a popup for that kind of info). If you do get through, it shows your usage except for the last two hours, so that doesn't always help. Hughes said they'd come out with a program to monitor your usage in realtime, but of course they haven't, and the only scripts I can find online work for earlier models of their router (or seem to try to access that same usage page). And as of a couple months ago, there's been this nasty habit of having pages time out IMMEDIATELY and needing to refresh each page a few times before it will go "oh, you actually want to go to that page? Okay". No, HughesNet doesn't allow you to change your DNS preferences to anything else (unless maybe you do a lot of trickery), so I'm held hostage by problems on their end. Or it's a problem inherent to satellite internet, I don't know. Oh yeah, and every time I open my browser, I have to wait half a minute or more before it will actually TRY to go to a webpage. Maybe that's the satellite acquiring an IP address, don't know.

I'd also complain that Adobe Updater is absolutely incapable of connecting to the Internet, but I've heard a lot of people say that darn thing always complains, so that might be an Adobe problem.

Speaking as a fellow HughesNet user...Fair Access Policy has the worst acronym ever.

My cap is 425 MB per day, but the service still sucks. Not being able to play most online games, having to wait until 1 AM to download stuff...

But, I don't have these same problems with checking usage that you apparently do. (I'd explain how it works for me in detail, but I'm currently on campus and don't have stuff set up like I do at home.)
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: penguinwizard on February 02, 2010, 12:46:17 PM
There are worse acronyms, but yeah. Especially considering the usual way to bring it up is "I've been fapped!"

The only time when you have no caps is late at night, from like 2:00am eastern to 7:00am eastern or some such. Of course, Hughes doesn't bother translating the times to your local time. So for me in the Pacific time zone that's from 11:00pm to 4:00am. Sounds like you might be in central.

But there shouldn't be any problem with checking usage. I just log in, go to billing info (why on earth would usage be under Billing?), then usage info, wait for the thing to pop up, click OK, and there I am. What, is there a better way that works with a HN 9000 model?
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: WarpRattler on February 02, 2010, 12:55:07 PM
I use the HN7000S's equivalent of this (http://customercare.myhughesnet.com/frm_usage_9series.cfm) page to check. No login necessary - just put in your satellite's site ID and it'll let you bring up a page with usage stats (updated hourly) for either that month or the previous month.

On the whole, I'd definitely prefer the uncapped period's starting time of 11 PM to my starting time of 1 AM. Just as long as I don't have the same problems with connection speed that BP (who's also on HughesNet) has.

I inadvertantly made myself rage for the last half hour. I was looking up some old Eddie Guerrero videos and ended up watching Nancy Grace totally shove her agenda down everyone's throat in about 5 videos. There wa also some of Marc Mero being a total hypocrite, as well as admitting he carries around a list of dead guys he's fought. What a creep. Then I ended up reading some more stupidity from Weedle McHairybug, topping off his latest feminism rant with admitting he wants to shut down gentlemen clubs and adult magazines.

*blinks* Well THAT was easy! That worked like a charm and avoided the hassle of logging in, and all I had to do was type in the site ID which was no problem at all. Why the heck couldn't they link to that page before (or why can't I find a quick link to it on Hughes' website)? And previous times when I accessed it through the Usage Info thing, it'd appear in a popup window, presenting the possibility of me not seeing the direct web address to it anyway. The only advantage accessing it through the login page is that it fills in the site ID automatically, that's it. Thanks WarpRattler!

So I found a forum thread at iStockphoto (http://www.istockphoto.com/forum_messages.php?threadid=173711&page=1) where it's pointed out that GameSpy "stole" images from their website for the "25 Worst Videogame Stock Photos" article. So in other words, what GameSpy did is illegal. It's not as defendable as the previous case where there were explicit links back to the website, but still, all the posts you see at that forum aggressively side with iStockphoto and say GameSpy's a bunch of morons for doing that.

I was always under the impression that "stock photo" meant "photo free for use by other people". No. I was under the impression that "royalty-free stock photos" meant they were free to download. No. Maybe it just means you pay a one-time fee. I understand the idea that some pictures shouldn't be copied or redistributed - no-right-click scripts and preventing hot-linking are weak but clear methods to get that across - but geez, if you're so stuck-up about how photos are used, then put a 72-pt disclaimer on every single page for those not logged in. The web-preview images are low quality and are watermarked - great, that should be enough for someone to buy the thing if they really want the image. Why should you get to say what happens to the web-preview image? Anybody stopping by isn't going to know the difference between someone who paid the fee to show the images on a different website and those who didn't (unless there's rules against that too). Linking back to your website and all that should be more than enough compensation for what's essentially a free thumbnail image. It shouldn't be that big of a deal how these web thumbnails are used (when unaltered). All you're doing is driving away potential business with your attitude.

The only thing I can see on the entire site enforcing these restrictions is the Legal page (yeah, as a small link on the bottom. Nobody reads those things anyway). For those who bother with a Standard license, you've got some other crazy restrictions like being forbidden from distributing the image (insofar as making a profit selling it to others), can't use it in more than one location at a time, and can only make ONE copy of the image for backup purposes. If you go for the Extended license, those restrictions are lifted (but I didn't read that far to see what the Extended license says).

But to iStockPhoto's credit, a subscription plan of $0.30 per file for three months at the most expensive is pretty darn low. The price for an individual extra-small picture (about the size of the web thumbnails it seems) is $1, and a small picture $3. So it wouldn't kill anyone to pay for these things. I'm just against the principle of paying for what should be free.

For those of you who read the Faux Pas webcomic, it says right there on the title image that all material is copyrighted and not public domain. Then to reinforce it, if you check out the thumbnails of art pieces they're selling in the Cat-alog, it again says "Please do not copy any material shown below. It is not public domain. Thank you!" Now see, notices like that I can respect.

That reminds me, I just found out that if I want the 3.0 update for iPod Touch, I have to pay $10. Anyone with an iPhone doesn't have to pay that fee. Maybe it's that iPod Touch lacks some features and you're paying to get those back, or maybe it's "we're just making up for the money we didn't get from you when you went with the cheaper iPod". But I absolutely hate the idea of having to pay for any update. You don't need to pay for updates with Windows or Mac OS X (well, with Windows I bet you need to pay something if you're going for one of those extended support plans). If it's enough of a change that you need to put in new components or buy a new product, then yeah, hit me up. But I don't think of it like that. I think of it as "this will add or fix stuff for a perfectly functional, currently-supported product." You don't need to pay for service packs for operating systems (no Windows jokes please), so I certainly wouldn't expect to pay for this.

So out of principle I'm ignoring the 3.0 update like the plague. I hardly use apps on the iPod Touch anyway. But in true Apple fashion, once an update comes out, every new app suddenly ceases to be backwards-compatible and you must upgrade or be forced to live in the past. This is why I had so much trouble with finding new programs to download with 10.2 "Jaguar" and eventually 10.3 "Panther" of Mac OS X, because if you're about two generations behind you're doomed. So now I see the value in Microsoft's commitment to backwards compatibility. Either that or Apple developers are really lazy about that sort of thing.

Quote from: Chad Sapieha
Mike_Z, I think that any movie critic worth his or her salt would decry the sort of sex jokes found in NMH2 if they ever showed up in a film. Thing is, they generally don't. The humour in NMH2 is basically the stuff of low-grade soft-core p-rn, and the unspeakably wooden actors deliver it as if it were so.
Quote from: Chad Sapphira
I reiterate: if the dirty jokes were of the caliber seen in a movie like Superbad or The Hangover I'd join in and laugh until my sides split. The fact is that phrases like "It's wh-re time!" just aren't funny, for any number of reasons.
This man self-censors "porn" and "whore", but thinks that Superbad and The Hangover were side-splitting.

Agree. It was annoying when I played Star Prince (a Star Soldier-style shmup in Retro Game Challenge) and was presented with a game over message when the life display still said one.

Mind you, some of that annoyance came from the fact that I reached that segment of the stage with six lives remaining, and lost all of them. Star Prince is rather brutal, which is one of the reasons I enjoy it. It plays like Star Soldier if Star Soldier was a Psikyo shmup, gives out extra lives like Battle Garegga, and makes me restart like Raiden Fighters Jet. But it's definitely not a very good example of the kind of stuff players had to deal with on the NES.

I completely agree with you and for the same reason.

Although when my nephew was playing Super Mario Galaxy awhile ago, I was secretly hoping he would get a game over at 1. Why? Because he was being a brat. The only reason I even let him play is because his mother called to tell us to stay put so she can pick him up and I was getting sick of his "subtle" hints that he wanted to play the game...

"Boy, Super Mario Galaxy looks really fun."
"I''d really like to play Super Mario Galaxy."
"I sure hope I can borrow Super Mario Galaxy sometime."

Imagine hearing this constantly. That kid isn't allowed to play my Wii anymore and I'm certainly not going to lend him SMG either. Besides, he has a lot more games for his Wii than I do.

It depends on if it's extra lives x [n] or total lives x [n]. Personally I think the psychological impact of having 0 is more powerful than having 1.

What I don't get is that in some games (the DKC series, for example), the life counter stops at 99, but you can have more than 99 lives (I think DKC allowed 128..?) It can be kinda confusing to lose a life at 99, but still have 99..
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!

Thanks everyone. It's been especially tough since I worked for him for three months and me, my brother, and him had tons of hilarious moments together. It was very hard to walk down the aisle towards the casket knowing he was in there... and that I didn't go to the viewing/wake, and that I hadn't seen him in weeks prior to his death.

Final Fantasy III DS has a three-file save system. My first, "good" file had approximately 83 hours of progress logged into it. My second file, used for backup purposes, had 74 hours. My thrid file contained a recently-restarted quest in which I had last made exactly 14 minutes' progress. Having grown tired of grinding for the game's hidden superboss in my first file, I decided to make some headway in my File Three game. I soon chose to save my game as any prudent player would do.

You all should know what happens next.

Expecting the "which file do you want to overwrite?" cursor to automatically appear over the third file slot, I saved. And overwrote my first file. And lost over nine hours' worth of tedious, mind-numbingly monotonous training.

Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Lizard Dude on February 25, 2010, 12:59:38 PM
There were no sidequests or minigames before FFVI. They are 100% grinds through a totally linear plot, seeking to provide entertainment in three ways:

Exploring (except there's only ever one way to progress in the end)

Seeing What Happens Next (potentially valid, if you like the plots)

Your Characters Become More Powerful (an empty joy, you yourself have not become more skilled at anything)

Note: WeeGee was grinding to beat something that was not in the original FFIII.

JRPGs are sort of like shmups in that one of the major reasons to play them is to watch numbers go up.

The difference is that most shmups require skill to make the numbers go up, whereas JRPGs just require patience.

Seriously, that is sad. My parents are probably going to put our dog down soon. Her eyesight is getting steadily worse, but sort of ironically, mom just can't do it. She didn't want the dog in the first place (around.. 12 or so years ago) and now can't let her go. Poor dog is old for a Yorkie her size (she is supposed to be a toy size, but I think someone said she's actually the standard size for a regular Yorkie, and around 12 or so years is really old for any Yorkie, or so I've been told. Leave it to us to get the most resilient Yorkie in the world.. XD

Should've seen that one coming.

After Captain Kirk came an enormous parade, proudly flaunting just about every fundamental Canadian stereotype in the book. It began with Michael Bublé (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Bubl%C3%A9) in an RCMP outfit crooning "the Maple Leaf Forever", who gave way to a veritable legion of actual Mounties towing enormous inflatable beavers and moose. They were, in turn, joined by a good hundred hockey players, a small child dressed as a puck, and several dancers in maple leaf-themed costumes. Finally, they all began revolving around the rink on which the spectacle took place, at which point Bublé sang the closing verses of "O Canada", bringing the entire stadium to an orgasmic carousal of all things Canadian.

A book I brought to school was confiscated today. That normally wouldn't be too great an issue, except that the book in question was A Practical Guide To Racism (http://apracticalguidetoracism.com/book), a hilarious satire which parodies ethnic stereotypes in an obviously un-serious way. However, our school's close-minded dumb[dukar] principal evidently doesn't have the perception to see that, and told me that I should be expecting a phone call later today.

I guess what irks me is less the fact that it was confiscated, but more that he failed to see that the book was satirical even after reviewing it. Far from condoning it, the book never really references racism, instead focusing on stereotypes. Aside from scarcely a few potty words and mild sexual references, it contains nothing which would offend a sensible person. So,

Eh, I wouldn't go as far as to say they need to be put down. Maybe rehabilitated/trained is all. It's not the dogs' fault that they have a neglectful owner(s).

If you were bitten by one of the dogs, I'd probably file a police report and have the real problem taken care of (read: the owner(s)).

Well, I've talked to animal control about it. They said that if it happens again to anyone (not just me), call them again and they'll take all of the guy's dogs.

I'm not even sure if "neglectful" is even the right term. The guy was right at his mailbox when this occurred, but he didn't even do anything. Heck, he probably endorses this behavior.

Reminds me of my reaction playing F-Zero GX on Story Mode (difficulty doesn't matter, they're all synonyms for "Impossible"). Somehow, Draq punching the TV in his special cutscene wasn't adequate to describe what I wanted to do to the game. Speaking of freaky, someone should get the picture of the guy from Cube who gets the acid in his face and his face corrodes away.

Angst: I was typing up something recently in Notepad, went to open some other program, went back only to discover I accidentally closed Notepad and lost all my work. No, I didn't think to save it at all during that. And earlier before that, I was deleting old folders that screamed "delete me", forgetting that my only copy of another huge text file was in one of said folders. Naturally I emptied the recycle bin before I remembered about the file, so... yeah, it's gone forever too. Curse my momentary slips in computing. I guess I can also angst that there's that one Star Fox fan fiction I'll never see again, but I've given up on finding anyone who has it.

Post by: Weegee on March 31, 2010, 08:11:37 PM
Precisely. For starters, only "featured" videos have retained their star-ratings; all others now have a rudimentary "thumbs up/thumbs down" rating scheme which requires you to click on a specific video to see its score. Thus, discerning good selections from poor ones has become more of a laborious process. Additionally, this new layout's minimalistic, border-less style makes locating and telling features apart a nuisance.

Also note that a video's rating can't be seen until you've rated it. Even then, "582 people liked it / 93 people didn't like it" isn't nearly as helpful as star-ratings.

Man, I LOVE new YouTube. The video, pure text, and whiteness. Love it. Great design. Five-star rating is retarded (http://youtube-global.blogspot.com/2009/09/five-stars-dominate-ratings.html). The description is in a much easier place for my eyes to not autolook at it and get spoilers.

My main beef is how you can't discern [dukar]ty four-star vids from decent 4.5/5-star ones while casually scrolling through results. The new rating format is actually more "retarded", as it's equivalent to there only being 1- or 5-star voting options.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Lizard Dude on March 31, 2010, 09:01:42 PM
Exactly, that's how people were using it anyway. Did you even look at the link?

For a single person issuing a review score for something, 5-star scale is about as good as it gets. But for a mass grading system like YouTube, the human nature of 1-or-5 makes it nearly meaningless. Your quote actually illustrates the absurdity:

This new system takes the problem explained in the link to a further extreme by not even offering the option of balanced ratings. My aforementioned quote implied how this "thumbs-up/down" deal does nothing to remedy the issue, but instead worsens it.

I just got through half of Insomnia by Stephen King before quitting. Stephen King has this really nasty habit of starting a book out good, then running out of ideas and just rewriting The Stand with different characters.

Seriously, how many of his books are about a small town being slowly divided into two distinct groups, one led by a charismatic, yet so so obviously evil, bad guy and the other led by a king old lady, with dark forces converging upon the town for an ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny with good forces, and a baby/dog/little kid caught in the middle? And worse, how many of those start off looking like actually cool?

So here we are two days after I've sent my Wii off, and now I can't play my DS (or any of my handheld games) for having left it (them) at my aunts. We were only gone overnight, and sure it was probably a mistake to bring the entire backpack full of handheld gaming goodness, but for my wife to react the way she did when I realised that I had left it (and then asked her if we could turn around since we weren't that far from my aunts) just makes me even more angry.

If it'd been something that she felt was important, we would have been turned around PDQ..

Now I may have to wait two weeks for my mom to go visit her sister and bring my backpack back. This makes me sound terribly OCD, but all those steps in the PokeWalker are going to be useless for the next two weeks, I won't be able to play games over wifi, and I also don't have the Wii currently.

Post by: ShadowBrain on April 18, 2010, 08:30:59 AM
Well, I'll condense a couple months of ANGST into as simple a summary as I can...

I suddenly became infatuated with a girl I've known (but never very well) for years. So, eventually, I asked her to a dance--she was already going with someone. Me = crushed, but I also asked her to senior prom at the same time. She wasn't as sure about that one, so I gave her a heart I made in pottery (it said, quoth xkcd, "THE ONLY WINNING MOVE IS NOT TO PLAY"--on account of a previously failed un-relationship, I initally resisted admitting I was in love again. She had seen it the other day and said "you're fascinating"). Cue a month or two of moping--meanwhile, the girl I used to be in love with messaged me and asked if I was going to prom, using the pronoun "dear" in a follow-up. Eventually, I realized that I needed a straight answer, so feeling awkward about re-asking, I dropped a coded message into the script for the Shakespeare project we were doing in class, and messaged/tried to chat with her online repeatedly. She either ignored me or... I don't know. I chatted with her friend, but that didn't really get me anywhere, either. I finally asked her in person, but on the basis that we both knew what I was talking about--she said something about someone else who wanted to go with her and that she'd get back to me by the end of the day. Yeah, you can probably guess how that turned out. And then I get online the other day and see that the other girl is going with someone now.

...Wow, that wasn't that short at all. Well, I'll condense it even further:

Girl I'm in love with: Won't talk to me, was asked first and literally given a heart by me, but still will probably go with someone else.
Girl I used to be in love with: Was my Plan B, now is going with some else on account of Girl #1 not giving a [darn].

I've been raised so differently from everyone else I know in school, so I've always felt like I don't belong. I know I shouldn't worry about girls right now, but this is about more than just going to a senior ball. I used to just feel like they didn't care about me--now I know.

Oh god, Blink 182. This man's deeper in sorrow than anyone I've ever seen.

Jokes about musical taste aside, you really shouldn't get too worked up about the whole situation. I've been rejected in various ways (running the gamut from "you're sweet, but I already have a boyfriend" to "no, **** off and die") far more times than I've actually gotten with a girl. See, here's the thing with girls that seems like common sense but is just so hard to pull off: just be straight-up when asking them out. Each girl is different, but they all have one thing in common: the more effort you put into asking them out, the more your chances of them saying yes plummet.

Just be yourself, but not obnoxiously so. Dress nice, yadda yadda. Try and get her number, but don't ask for it. Trust me, if she's into you, you will get one. The three-days rule doesn't apply as heavily to high school since you'll probably be seeing her on a regular basis, so call her up maybe a day or so later in your case. While conversing, ask more questions than anything else, since at this point, to be honest, she doesn't care too much about what you think and just wants to tell you about herself. If she's still into you after a while, ask her out. Seriously, that's about it. What follows after is, unfortunately, not as easy to map out. And if she says no, then take it in stride. Tell her it's cool, maybe some other time?, that kind of thing.

In short, pretty much any guy can get a girl as long as he's confident, nice, gentlemanly (but not too gentlemanly), and plays it cool.

You know that one part in SMRPG? The one where you need to jump on the tadpoles to make a song? I think it's unfair you need to do it by ear. I mean, couldn't they give a visual indicator as to what note you just hit? This need to be fixed in a ROM hack.

Post by: penguinwizard on April 18, 2010, 04:56:51 PM
...can you even SEE the screen? You do know the tadpoles represent the note placement, right? I agree that you can't see much of the notes you've already hit, but it's probably assumed all you care about is hitting the next note right and that you know your current place in the song. What I always mess up on is knowing where to hit the tadpole to correspond with the note I want. I know all about Do Re Mi corresponding to C D E etc., but as for getting the tadpole to line up on the right note... come on, everything's in 3/4 view, I'm not used to reading music at a slant.

But for that, you can get a piece of paper, use an electric piano or online piano, sound out the notes, then draw out where they are so you know where to jump on the tadpoles. If you can't read music though, then... well, learn. Weegee posted all you need to know.

I think he means our current president, but I could be wrong.  Besides, topics like that belong in the "Not at the Dinner Table" board.  I will refrain from commenting on the situation because I haven't been paying much attention to politics lately.

I bought 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection - The Best of Barry White today.

I wrongly assumed that the hit "You're the First, My Last, My Everything" was one of those four songs, and am now left with an incomplete greatest-hits CD. Yeurgh.

I'm sick of feeling shame for everything that I do, for no good reason. Even things I did years ago as a small child, things that weren't even that terrible, they still haunt me. I'm sick of guilt. I'm tired of people saying cheddar is their favorite cheese, when it's such a boring cheese when it all comes down to it. I'm sick of being fat, or worrying that people think I'm fat. And I'm sick of not having any sort of life outside the internet, missing out on these precious years while everyone else that I know is out having a joyous time with their companions. I'm afraid of the future and not being able to get myself to a point where I'm educated enough to even think about getting a GED. I'm sick of mood swings. I'm tired of my birds covering the floor with their messy shreds of paper and bits of eaten seeds and feathers, so whenever I walk around I'm constantly picking things off of my feet. I'm angry with how I think, because it's always this never ending cycle of me not agreeing with myself, debating everything, never knowing what is actually the correct thing to think, not knowing if there is one, giving up, telling myself "No, you must figure this out" and then repeating the entire process over again. And I'm sick of EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING. There.

I'm not sure how I manage to disagree with myself, but I do it on a daily basis. Wish I had a better way of describing it, but sadly I do not. I understand that I'm at fault for the majority of the things I've posted (and quite a few are petty and do not usually take a toll on me what so ever), however, some things I'm unable to change currently/have been trying to change for a good seven years to no avail, therefore it's fairly understandable for me to gripe about them (though I understand how unattractive that is. However, this is the angst thread, so I thought I could get some *****ing in).

I wouldn't be surprised if I were to be diagnosed with depression, Weegee. and I've always dealt with anxiety. However, I'd rather not take medication for it. At least not for the time being. I just try to think positive and make sure I get regular exercise, which helps. Bah, that's just life though.

Post by: superstarMASIAH on May 10, 2010, 11:58:20 AM
I'm posting this here not because I am complaining about anything, but because I'm confused and in turmoil.  Today I received a message on facebook from an old friend from highschool (we weren't tight friends, but we were more than acquiantances, she was a fellow art student).  After we left and graduated highschool, I let her have this book called DMT: The Spirit Molecule by Rick Strassman Phd.  It is about a docter's goverment funded research on the affects of DMT in the early 1990's.  Probably one of the more in depth books/studies on the subject I've ever seen.  She's had the book ever since.

I never thought about the extent of my influence on people until now.  I always thought whenever I went on about a subject I always had little impression on people, but that was when I wasn't talking about something I was knowledgable in. 

She is a beautifle girl.  She wants to hang out during this summer again.  And I might even want to hook-up with her.  But I'm having conflicted interests.  On one hand, since I've been sober so long, I don't want to be responsible for turning a perfectly innocent girl into some festy skank.  Although DMT is the least of my worries (I have no idea what else she's done) because she seemed fine when I talked to her, DMT is non-adictive but the most powerful hallucinogenic known to man.  I would feel awful if at some festival she was to try some dirty research chemical like 2C-B, or 2C-I.  I've been there before, and its not pretty.

My next conflict is that one of my good friends tried to hook-up with her before, he got close but things didn't work out.  I have to find a way to make him understand that it didn't work out, and that her and I have more in common.  I don't know how to put it though, because the jist of it is that she didn't want him because he was too nice, and when he see's me with her, he's going to understand that she wanted me because I'm the "bad-boy'/risk-taker.

Andbody got any advice?

Maybe it'd help if he enjoyed more fiction that doesn't suck.

Kingdom Hearts is a mess of uninteresting characters and story arcs that require three sequels and a prequel to finally tie up, and, aside from 358/2 Days (which has the worst story of any of them while also having the best gameplay) and coded (which isn't even a regular entry in the series), Kingdom Hearts games are pretty much just grindy JRPGs in real-time form, so I'll say again that Kingdom Hearts sucks.

Those people are deluding themselves, then, because that's exactly what the Kingdom Hearts games are. Trying to say they aren't is like trying to say Neon Genesis Evangelion isn't an anime about giant robots, or that Milestone shooters don't all play the same. Even with all the philosophical stuff in the former and the different score systems in the latter, at the end of the day NGE is still about teenagers piloting large mechs to battle monsters, and Chaos Field, Radirgy, and Karous are all vertical-scrolling shmups involving ships with swords that can cancel bullets.

KH titles are in real time, though, so grinding is even more optional in KH titles than it is in other RPGs.  You can choose how much or how little you grind as you play through, because if you're skilled enough, you can make up for the lack of raw stats. 


...I feel like I should apologize for derailing this thread so much.  I really didn't think mentioning KH in passing would spark such a debate (I also feel bad for bringing Jim into this, because he didn't do anything).
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: WarpRattler on May 14, 2010, 08:55:22 PM
Real-time != skill-based. And it's still a stat-based JRPG. No matter what you think you might be able to do, you're not going to be able to do enough damage with your attacks to take down a level fifty boss if you're level thirty. Which means grinding. (As I've said before, 358/2 Days is an exception here, because it actively discourages grinding in various ways, and really is largely skill-based.)

Also, I think Kingdom Hearts discussion fits well in this thread, considering how angsty some of its characters are.

I've played and beaten Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts 2. I think they're both terrible. They're very polished, but terrible games.

That said, I can see why people might like them. I'm sure Warp's just trolling because he can, because I've never seen anyone argue their opinion as fact so aggressively over something so stupid.

I did like Warp's post though, but I would have chosen different examples:

Those people are deluding themselves, then, because that's exactly what the Kingdom Hearts games are. Trying to say they aren't is like trying to say Fate/Stay Night isn't a hentai game that features a story solely to get to the next hentai scene, or that Ladies versus Butlers! isn't just an anime about underage girls in near pornographic situations. Even with all the characterization and story stuff in the former and the different ways the girls undress in the latter, at the end of the day Fate/Stay Night is a game made for lonely nerds to jerk off to, and, well, so is the anime.

See, I prefer these examples because saying "teenagers piloting mechs" and "shmups involving ships and swords" aren't negative things at all. What better examples to compare to a "grindy game about emo teenagers." than two "novels" made for lonely teenagers.


Look, the point I'm trying to make is to stop being a ****** about this. Kingdom Hearts is bad. We got it. You don't like it. That's fine.

Turtlekid enjoys Kingdom Hearts. He can look past its obvious faults. He likes it. That's fine.

Now lets move past this so we can never talk about Kingdom Hearts or Hentai Games ever again.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: WarpRattler on May 15, 2010, 09:51:53 AM
Those examples are bad, because Fate/stay night isn't really intended as a porn game - the fact that there can be an all-ages PS2 port (and an anime adaptation, and a manga adaptation, none of which involve any of the porn stuff that's only in the PC game because sex sells) proves that - and Ladies versus Butlers! is based on a series of books (and isn't about underage girls at all, in any case). I used my examples because some people do see giant robot anime as a bad thing (though admittedly not as many people as would see a hentai game or a game about spiky-haired emo amnesiac teenagers as bad) and because Milestone shooters are generally accepted to be bad games that all play pretty much exactly the same.

And Black Mage, I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but have you played Fate/stay night or watched Ladies versus Butlers!, or are you going solely off that thing I posted a while back about replacing the hentai images in the former (which comprise a total of seven three-minute-long scenes across three twenty-plus-hour-long routes, which averages out to less sex per minute than some R-rated movies, as well as less sex per paragraph than most young adult books published nowadays), and a few screencaps of the latter?

But yes, let's move on to something else.

I'm not enjoying playing ESP Ra.De. (certainly not anywhere as much as I was about three weeks ago), but apparently I have to clear it if I want to remain on Team INFINITE FLAMINGOES for STGT2010. Yes, I have to finish a game I'm not having fun playing in order to remain on a team for a competition that's largely about having fun playing games.

"Kingdom Hearts sucks dick!" and "Disney sucks dick!" are not valid arguments to begin with.

I told you to stop trolling because you weren't contributing anything valid to the argument and were just saying stupid things to **** Turtlekid1 off.

JRPGS suck because anime and Disney both suck.

You certainly weren't burning Glorb by saying Turtlekid was doing something, particularly if that something is performing sexual favors for Glorb (as you implied by bringing up Glorb's girlfriend).

Unless you meant to imply something retarded like the impression Turtlekid doing involving ululating loudly or something. Which still wouldn't be a burn on Glorb.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: PaperLuigi on May 18, 2010, 02:11:40 AM
Turtlekid1 said that his throat was scratchy. I claimed that it was because he was making fun of Glorb's girlfriend by screaming loudly. Basically, I'm jokingly saying that Glorb's girlfriend is obnoxiously loud and/or annoying.

At least Weegee and Trainman understood it.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: WarpRattler on May 18, 2010, 03:22:17 AM
It made zero sense, though. Nowhere has Glorb ever implied that anything along those lines might be even remotely close to the case. On the other hand, he's brought up the sex thing at least twice now, so it would be logical to infer that your remark was related to that.

The Vlasic bird is now CGI 3D. (http://www.vlasic.com/stork.html)
Why did he have to be 3D? There was NOTHING wrong with him being 2D! You don't just reinvent characters for no good reason! If you're gonna do 3D, at -least- make him look as good as his 2D self, but no! Come on, this is 2010, there's no excuse!

(for reference, this is the last commercial with his 2D self that I saw (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmoV617pR1Y))

While I miss his glasses and curvier beak, I have to admit it's not as bad as what happened to Ranger Rick, but it just rubs me the wrong way to suddenly see a character done in CGI. Remember the guy in the caterpillar suit for Money Tree? I hated that caterpillar, but still, I preferred the caterpillar suit and blatant goofiness to the CGI caterpillar they tried for a while.

But if your CGI looks as bad as "The General" Auto Insurance (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wDiozPXqiY), then you just need to drop off the face of the earth.

What is it with old-school Godzilla fans popping boners over how bad they can diss the '98 American Godzilla? I didn't even know any actual old-school Godzilla fans even existed in real life, only on the internet.

Seriously, it was a pretty good movie. It was never meant to be a big stupid dude-in-a-rubber-suit film about Godzilla fightan giant lizerd doods with the help of fairies and robots and a little Japanese kid in short-shorts. It was meant to be a total reimagining, almost a deconstruction, if you will. It's not a masterpiece by any standards, but still a very good, very viciously underrated film. God people are stupid sometimes.

Godzilla '98 was a good movie with a bad rep because a highly vocal bunch of butthurt Japanophile Godzilla nerds got upset that it was going to be a remake and not just 90 minutes of rubber suit fights. Never mind that they could get their fix by watching all the other fo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E18puHiU69Y)ur hundred identical movies in their DVD collection, this movie needed to be like them too!

Dude, Jurassic Park

came out two years before
was based on a book
had a 100% (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E18puHiU69Y) different plot
had a 100% different setting

I admit, it's obvious the FX dudes were clearly thinking Jurassic Park T-Rex when they did the helicopter chase, but aside from that the two movies have nothing in common. Plot device-wise, the baby G's were more like zombies (minus the infection angle) when you got down to it.

And how, pray tell, is the movie crappy? Disregarding the bad rep from kaiju nuts and the tenuous JP aping, it's basically a fun Independence Day disaster movie kinda deal - threadbare plot, cool special effects, and shallow-yet-likeable characters (well, not as many as ID4, but you catch my drift).

Anybody else spend eight or so years around a bunch of people you thought were potentially good friends, then spent the last few of those years slowly realizing they're a bunch of foulmouthed, drug-addled, romantically screwed-up folks that you have barely anything in common with outside of school?

Okay then, since you clearly aren't providing any good rebuttals aside from flinging insults and generalizations, let me break down why the movie is terrible.

Generic storyline.
Turning the hero into a villain.
An incredibly weak villain that was depowered from the original version.
No classic monsters.
Unlikable cast.
Shoddy production values (perhaps this was a throwback to the Toho films, but it doesn't work well when the CGI actually looks decent)

The only salvagable thing that came out of this was that awesome saturday morning cartoon that was a reimagined Godzilla done right. Keep in mind I've never seen a full Toho Godzilla film either, I'm just remembering stuff from when I saw a few scenes on the spanish channel as a child.

WWE Smackdown
Futari Wa Pretty Cure
Pokemon Diamond and Pearl
The Simpsons
King of the Hill
Family Guy

Huh, whaddya know, not a single hentai title in that group. Though I am tempted to check out Seikan no Qwaser again based on some GIF's I found.

Post by: WarpRattler on June 10, 2010, 09:18:51 PM
I watched the first episode of Seikon no Qwaser. The show features ridiculous amounts of fanservice to try to hide the fact that the plot is pretty much a knockoff of that of Fullmetal Alchemist.

There was also an incredibly generic "new transfer student in the main characters' class is the superpowered kid they witnessed kicking ass the night before" bit at the end of the episode.

THOSE ARE ALL THE OLD MOVIES. They all had the same plotline (honest!), they fluctuated between using Godzilla as a hero and a villian, sometimes in the same [darn] movie (he was a villian in the very first movie, but he's also portrayed sympathetically in the '98 remake), they constantly changed his powers, abilities, and size, and I dare you to find a single likeable human in any of the old Toho films besides the badass eyepatch dude in the very first one.

Also,

Make up your mind and stop being inconsistent. You're claiming the hardcore fans are unforgiving on the film and its good enough for a non-fan, but when non-fans find the movie has problems, you suddenly act like you should be following the series before watching in order to have an opinion on it?

Also, way to be so unique and edgy. I bet you hate Twilight and the Bieber kid and whatever else mainstream audiences like huh?

That's exactly it. People like a mediocre emo book/movie series entirely because it's popular, and people like a small Canadian child because of Ludacris's blessings. People don't like a cool giant lizard movie about a giant lizard entirely because highly vocal Godzilla nerds (and a few Led Zeppelin nerds) complained their hearts out. It's a classic case of public opinion overruling actual quality.

That didn't invalidate anything. I don't care about Twilight and never brought it up to begin with, and just because I've never seen it doesn't mean I can't formulate an opinion on how it looks. Wiggles was using the old Toho Godzilla films' alleged superiority as the backbone of his argument, and yet turns around and claims not to have actually seen any of them in full (or even in English). It would be akin to me defending Godzilla '98 by saying the trailers looked cool.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: WarpRattler on June 13, 2010, 08:50:20 PM
There's a huge difference between formulating an opinion on something based on how it looks (which is by and large a horrible way to judge things) and making sweeping claims about its quality and the reason for its popularity while not having actually exposed yourself to it.

(Incidentally, your argument for Godzilla being a good movie fell apart the instant you compared it to Independence Day, another bad movie.)

I really don't want to play through that whole game again.  It was bad enough that I had to do a second run to get the Hypermode boss Credits.

I bought Wario Ware D.I.Y. new, and so I was expecting a sealed copy naturally but... it was like used condition even to the point of missing the Club Nintendo booklet. I left a survey (I feel bad for their editors!). I'm discontinuing all of my future purchases from GameStop, after I go back demanding a refund, or an even exchange tomorrow. From now on, it's Play N Trade all the way.

While Gamestop is notorious for selling opened or gutted games as new, it's not true that all or even most are not sealed. Your store maybe something of an exception, but I assure you most Gamestops still sell actual new games.

That said, don't shop at Gamestop.

When I can walk into a 7-11, a Big Lots, a Rite-Aid, a pawn shop, and even a small merchants tent and always find a rack of games, I find it incredibly hard for you to claim shopping at a non-GameStop location is too much hassle.

So after holding on to my Wii for weeks, first importing a new disk drive from China (or somewhere) and then fiddling with the laser, the guy from the semi-local quesadilla joint/videogame hub (that does repairs on the side) recently proclaims that he has no idea what's wrong with the thing. Granted, I'm ****ed that I'm either going to have to wait another month or so while I send the thing to Nintendo or buy a new Wii, but it's exacerbated by the fact that a couple Wii games have, for some bull[dukar] reason, nontransferable save data--chief among them being Super Smash Bros. Brawl, which my brother and I invested more than enough time in (granted, downloading a 100% save state is an option, but there's something to be said for all those records and dates being your own).

So assuming they can't fix it, which is looking increasingly likely, my primary option  to save all my data is to get a new Wii, then have my friend run the games on the old one (that I can’t move off) a hard drive.

Not liking Katy Perry I understand, but Lady Gaga is simply this generation's Britney or Madonna, and she's also legitimately good. I don't understand why people like to ***** and moan about pop on the radio; if you don't like it, just buy an iPod or play your CDs. If you're thin-skinned enough to get upset at a musical artist's exposure then maybe you shouldn't be listening to music.

I mean, look at me; I listen to inaccessable underground hip-hop and industrial, but I've learned to like other stuff like radio fluff and classic rock simply because it's everywhere. And learning to like new music is never a bad thing.

Well, can't get Garry's Mod because apparently my complimentary copy of Portal doesn't count as a source game because it was free.  So if I want that game, I'll have to buy Portal again, meaning I won't be getting it for less than thirty bucks.

And besides, just buy a different Source engine game like Half-Life 2 or Team Fortress 2 (especially Team Fortress 2). That way you have an I-Paid-Money-For-it Source game for Garry's Mod to recognize, and you get to use both games' content!

So you didn't play Portal at all? You're only going to use it solely for Gary's Mod? Are you for real? Here's what I'm reading:

"OH THIS GAME I PAID NOTHING FOR DOESN'T ALLOW ME TO DO EVERYTHING SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY PAID FOR IT CAN DO. HOW DARE THOSE GREEDY JERKS HOLD BACK SOME FEATURE FOR PAYING CUSTOMERS INSTEAD OF FREELOADERS LIKE ME."

I did.  It's good.

Portal's a solid game, you got it for free and are acting like a spoiled little kid. You want "all" of the content, go buy it.
If they're going to advertise it as being the full game when they give it away, then they shouldn't exclude it from enabling Garry's Mod.  And no, I'd rather not pay 200% of the actual price of GM just because getting it for free doesn't work.  I've said this many, many times: I don't have the money to shell out on games at will.  I have to prioritize which games I want and then prioritize which games I really want because games are expensive.  I don't have the money to spend on a copy of a game I already have to get a feature that maybe should have been included already.

Also, I was really cheesed off when I wrote that initial complaint.  The shock had not worn off, if you will.  I'm looking at it with a more level head now, and while I realize that I have no real right to be able to run GM with my copy of Portal, it was still a dumb idea to exclude free games from enabling one to purchase it.

That's cool and all, but it's not like your situation is unique. Before I had a job, I had to ration my spending too. But what irks me, is that your posts ultimately boil down to you complaining about a game you got for free. And even more so that you continue to do it.

You did not spend any of your money and you got to experience Portal in its entirety. You got something for free that many people before you paid for. The 'price' you paid, for not buying it, is a missing extra feature. It's an enticement for those who actually, you know, support the company.

I just don't understand how you can sit here and complain. I really can't. The sense of entitlement and complete lack of appreciation, especially for someone who "doesn't have the money to shell out on games at will", that you're displaying towards a product given to you completely baffles me.

Just because TK's not in a situation to throw down wads of cash on every Big Man AAA PC Game he comes across doesn't mean he's acting like a spoiled brat. The dude wants to be able to use stuff he owns to the fullest extent, whether or not he paid for it, and I have to agree, it's a bit of a foul-up on Valve's part.

Thing is, Turtlekid would be able to use the Portal assets in GMod perfectly fine - if he was able to buy it. But as it is, you can't buy GMod if the only Source game you own was given away (Alien Swarm, free Portal from the Mac promotion, and free Half-Life 2: Deathmatch from those video card promotions ages ago) or wasn't developed by Valve (Zeno Clash, Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines, and The Ship; I don't believe these games' assets are compatible with GMod).

To clear it up for anyone who doesn't get it, the situation isn't that Turtlekid can't use the free game's assets, but rather that he's being told by Steam that he can't buy a game because of how he obtained a game that in any other situation would make him eligible.

Zeno Clash is, kinda, but not in the normal way. You can download the GMod models from the game free of charge straight from the devs, but it doesn't count as a "Source Game" by Steam's Garry's Mod definition.

Well, I've already complained about how the Nyko dual-port charging station for Wii remotes sucks balls, and started sucking balls right after I wasn't able to return it.

Now, it has finally taken a huge crap. Oh, it still charges. However, no matter what I do, it charges a completely dead remote for about 5-10 seconds, and then switches the LED to green indicating a full charge. For some reason, now that this problem has come up, the first port (which stopped working altogether sometime back) is now suddenly working and exhibits the same problem.

Wait... book six??? *checks* Wow, they stealth released that shiz. And you just saved me a buck fifty HA-HA-HA!

Speaking of Penny Arcade, Monday's post struck me as very odd for this reason: Tycho took StarCraft II to task for not changing its forumla at all or learning anything from the innovations of other RTS over the last decade and basically tricking people into thinking it's good with massive amounts of polish. He said Blizzard's release was on the verge of "cowardice". Yet: just last week he heaped mountains of praise upon Dragon Quest IX, a game with its "gameplay" ripped literally STRAIGHT from 1988. What the hell, man.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: WarpRattler on August 03, 2010, 03:47:26 AM
I interpreted it as him saying it's good but that him wanting to play a modern RTS was a sign that Blizzard should've stepped outside the box a bit more rather than effectively remaking the game they released over a decade ago. I imagine the same sentiments could have been applied to, for example, Command & Conquer 3. Or, for a non-RTS example (and one you love to point out), Pokémon.

Dragon Quest IX, on the other hand, is an incredibly modern JRPG despite the framework of its seemingly-simple gameplay mechanics being the tried-and-true formula that's pretty much prehistoric in video game terms, and ignoring the lack of a tutorial masquerading as early plot development that so many other games, JRPG or otherwise, love to throw at you.

Seriously dude, DQIX is the exact opposite of "incredibly modern". It proudly and blatantly stays within the boundaries of Famicom-era design philosophies i.e., the very origins of the JRPG. That's NOT modern!

I'm not questioning the appeal of old-school JRPGs because I do understand their appeal (the feeling of exploring/traveling a world, the (false) sense of becoming more powerful, the investment in the story (artificially amplified by the grinding it takes to progress it)). I'm questioning the hypocricy of Tycho's critique of StarCraft II immediately after complimenting DQIX.

FFXII and FFXIII are good examples of JRPGs that are actually "modern", and don't slavishly adhere to the ancient molds á la SCII and DQIX.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: WarpRattler on August 03, 2010, 07:05:44 PM
The framework of the combat is identical to the JRPGs of yore. Much of the rest of the game is actually closer to an MMORPG than a JRPG (though in different ways than games like Final Fantasy XII or Monster Hunter). And grinding is actually mostly unnecessary if you pay attention to what you're actually doing in combat, rather than just telling your units to use their basic attack. (Or if you have people to play through the game with - if you do, it can suddenly become a twenty-hour [or less] game.)

Tycho's critique of StarCraft II immediately following his praise of Dragon Quest IX is because while Dragon Quest IX really is a modern JRPG (again, in ways other than its combat, though even that's fresh compared to some of its brethren, particularly games where spamming the basic attack command is a viable tactic for 95% of the game), StarCraft II is by and large the same game Blizzard has been selling for twelve years, except with updated graphics, a new storyline, and a fresh coat of polish. He's saying that while it's a good game, it's good in a calculated manner, a game designed to smash into the nostalgia receptors in such a way that you're tricked into thinking it's a brand-new way of looking at the RTS genre, when in fact it's twelve years old. He's saying that once you look past the polish to the game itself, the illusion falls apart, and while still being good, it doesn't do a good job of being particularly compelling. I don't agree with some of what he said; for example, his comparison to WarCraft III and how its editor spawned games of its own is more than a little unfair - it's not as though Defense of the Ancients was made a week after WC3's release - but he's right that gamers allow themselves to be blinded by a game like StarCraft II.

(Though that sort of person would undoubtedly be rare, I'd like to see what someone who never played the original StarCraft but is otherwise an RTS fan thinks of StarCraft II. I'd like to see the perspective of someone who enjoys the genre but isn't blinded by nostalgia.)

Regarding his statements on Dragon Quest IX, keep in mind also that Tycho's view of the game included a feature you didn't experience, that being the multiplayer modes. And they really do change the game. Trying to compare Dragon Quest IX to other JRPGs without considering the multiplayer functionality would be like just talking about a fighting game or console first-person shooter's single-player modes, but this comparison is unfortunately doomed to happen, because people are playing the game without seeing the multiplayer. It doesn't help that the game is designed for a place like Tokyo, where you can't go anywhere without picking up people's tag mode signals, rather than a place like the United States, where online play is king, and, as Tycho pointed out, conventions are your best bet for finding other players in the real world. This is why Nintendo treating it like Pokémon is a good idea, though outside of conventions it hasn't been expansive enough. We need more than these dinky events that most locations don't even participate in.

Final Fantasy XII is certainly a modern JRPG in terms of its play mechanics, as its combat is practically that of an MMORPG, and in terms of being relatively open-ended (a trait Dragon Quest IX also exhibits at numerous points). Much of Final Fantasy XIII may be new, but aside from the combat, the game is a mess - its characters unlikeable, its story convoluted, its exploration a literal straight line. If those are the traits of a modern JRPG, I fear for the future of the genre.

Post by: Lizard Dude on August 03, 2010, 08:30:15 PM
Oh, so you played FFXIII? Or are you doing the exact thing you just told Brian not to do last week with Limbo?

You (and Tycho) say that StarCraft II is the same except with updated graphics, a new storyline, and a fresh coat of polish. And that's true, but guess what else that exactly describes? FREAKIN' DRAGON QUEST IX!!! I don't know what you're getting on about saying only the battles are primitive. So the innovative part is where you go to a town, learn their problems, buy new weapons and amour, then solve the town's problem by going through a nearby dungeon and beating a boss, repeat. That's the innovative part?

The multiplayer aspect is irrelevent and in no way compares to the multi of a fighter or FPS. It's not even like actual co-op. You just become a character in the other person's party, but it helps in no meaningful way because it's still the same turn-based 4-person-max setup. It's like in some of the FFs where you can set certain controllers to control certain characters. Woo! Fun! Or you can go off on your own and not be in the other person's battles. But since the monsters are infinite, that does even less, and you're alone in an area that's probably too hard for you! And the funniest part of all: you can't progress your own "world" while helping someone else so you're going to have to do it all again anyway.

As for the Tag Mode, that's not even multiplayer. It's just a dick way to seed random dungeons, based on a culture that's not ours.

So,
Single-player: NES JRPG with polish
Multi-player: Pointless, since you can generate your own full party of soulless robots right off the bat

Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: WarpRattler on August 03, 2010, 10:27:35 PM
First off, this word, which I never used:
innovative
Please explain to me how "innovative" equals "modern," which is what I said.

Yes, Tycho did refer to innovation when he was speaking of StarCraft II. Innovation in the genre, and innovation in Blizzard's other works, and how none of it was present in StarCraft II. Level 5 didn't really introduce anything new to the genre with Dragon Quest IX either, but what they did do is take some of the innovations others have made and implement them into a Dragon Quest game.

For another way of looking at it, compare StarCraft and StarCraft II, then compare previous main-series Dragon Quest games and Dragon Quest IX, and then compare StarCraft II to other real-time strategy games of the past few years and Dragon Quest IX to other JRPGs of the past few years.

Second, I didn't compare the game's multiplayer to those other things, aside from to say that it's a legit part of the experience and that like those types of games, ignoring the multiplayer is a shoddy way to write about it. Furthermore:
It's not even like actual co-op. You just become a character in the other person's party, but it helps in no meaningful way because it's still the same turn-based 4-person-max setup. It's like in some of the FFs where you can set certain controllers to control certain characters. Woo! Fun! Or you can go off on your own and not be in the other person's battles. But since the monsters are infinite, that does even less, and you're alone in an area that's probably too hard for you! And the funniest part of all: you can't progress your own "world" while helping someone else so you're going to have to do it all again anyway.
Save for the bits relating to the combat setup, your comparison to another series, and the infinite monsters, you just described Diablo multiplayer. Which, since Dragon Quest IX multiplayer is largely the same way (including things like boosted experience gains when you have multiple players in the same world), is pretty apt.

Incidentally, how much of Dragon Quest IX did you play?

I admittedly haven't had much first-hand experience with Final Fantasy XIII. But I've experienced more of that game than ShadowBrian did of Limbo, I'm sure, and you don't exactly have to play through an entire game to see things like characters' personalities, contrived and generic story elements, or area design (http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=12984.msg563850#msg563850), to say nothing of this (http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2010/4/14/) sort of thing.

If you're referring to JRPGs, fine, because I don't know much about those, but if you're referring to video games in general, I beg to differ.

Post by: WarpRattler on August 04, 2010, 12:57:09 AM
While I'm aware that somewhere along the line that sort of thing became cool, I still don't think it's at all interesting or good writing to have your lead protagonist, the character you're be stuck as for the entire game, be an unlikeable ***** for any length of time. And in Final Fantasy XIII, it's not just the lead heroine, as can be seen from even a small amount of exposure to the game.

But that's just my personal interests. Unless everything else is really good, I'm not going to be interested enough to put much time into a game, or any story-based work, if I can't like its characters. And like I said, if unlikeable characters are "modern," I fear for the future.

Post by: Lizard Dude on August 04, 2010, 02:18:03 AM
I equated "modern" with "innovation" because modern means not like the old, which means having changed something. Semantics.

DQIX multiplayer is not like Diablo in any way. DQIX battles take place in their own private turn-based universe. Two people fighting two different battles in the same room can not affect each other in any way. And if two people are in the same battle, the fact that your party members are controlled by humans grants absolutely NO tactical advantage. It actually creates two disadvantages: the other players are taking experience that could be going to your normal non-human party members, and the fact that multiple humans taking their own actions will have less of an overall cohesive strategy than one human controlling all 4 party members (at best, equal cohesiveness). Furthermore, only the host player can make storyprogress, leaving any other players to take their now-overleveled single character back to their "real" game to join up with the 3 weaklings that got left behind. DQIX multiplayer is a worthless sham that provides no useful difference to the singleplayer formula, but in fact several disadvantages. It is not like an MMO, it is not like Diablo, it's like letting your friend use controller 2 to control Vivi in FFIX... but worse because Vivi can wander off if he wants to.

What are these mysterious innovations you keep saying DQIX has over previous DQ games? What meaningful additions does DQIX have that DQVII or DQVIII didn't?

Bringing FFXIII's characters into the discussion seems weird because DQIX has NO characters. It has a mute hero created and named by you and three more beyond-mute (they don't even appear in cutscenes) heroes created and named by you.

It's important to note that in none of these posts I'm trying to say DQIX is a "bad game". I'm saying DQIX gameplay philosophy is roughly on par with the FFIII era, and thus Tycho is a hypocrite regarding SCII. The DQ series is all about retaining the traditional JRPG design, and it's a charming example of such. I do think it was hurt by their multiplayer fixation in two ways: it necessitated the aforementioned lack of player character personality and caused the game to be on DS, which nosedived the series' graphics. (Not that DQ cares about graphics--look how it stayed up through DQVII--but DQVIII was just so gosh darned pretty...)

How many paragraphs have you dudes devoted to this useless subject? I haven't read every post thus far (ohemjee just like with Limbo) but from what I can tell this is just like the whole value/length/cost argument me and Warp had a while back, where the only reason the discussion exists is because one or both parties are operating in some fantasy land where what they say is true and factors into the game itself.

Post by: WarpRattler on August 04, 2010, 05:38:02 AM
DQIX multiplayer is not like Diablo in any way.
Let's see...

the other players are taking experience that could be going to your normal non-human party members
Since the game can feasibly be completed with any sort of party, including one consisting of no one aside from the hero, this is less of an issue than you're making it out to be. Especially since said hero is getting more experience playing with others than he would playing with his own three party members, because experience gains for everyone get boosted when you have more players in an instance. You know, like Diablo II. Unlike that game, though, in DQ9 the levels themselves are less important than the skill points earned from leveling up, because levels don't carry across classes (not that D2 has class-switching) (yes, I'm aware that leveling in D2 is a very different beast from leveling in DQ9).

the fact that multiple humans taking their own actions will have less of an overall cohesive strategy than one human controlling all 4 party members (at best, equal cohesiveness).
I'll grant you that different players will probably have different strategies, but the same goes for pretty much any co-op game that doesn't have strategies of the "this is the only thing worth doing" variety, and in this it'd rarely be anything less than equal cohesiveness, because it's pretty easy to coordinate when it's turn-based and you can only do local wireless. And different strategies could be a good thing; as a very basic example, one player might have advanced their hero in a class the others didn't, and be able to use skills the rest can't as a result.

only the host player can make storyprogress
Like Diablo. I think this is actually a good thing for a story-based game like Dragon Quest, so I like that it's set up so that only the host player can initiate story events, rather than, using Diablo II's first act as an example, it being possible for a high-leveled guest player to go kill Andariel while the host is still in the Den of Evil.

leaving any other players to take their now-overleveled single character back to their "real" game
Like Diablo. Except in this it's less of an issue, since, again, skill points are more important than any levels earned through experience.

I do agree that DQ9 multiplayer has major problems (including some of the things you pointed out), but many of them aren't just problems with this game, and at least this game tries to deal with them. And because you can in fact have different character builds, having someone bring their character into your game is a lot different from them just taking over control of one of your own characters.

For what it's worth, I think the fact that you instantly gain access to the downloadable quests by visiting the world of a player who has them is a bigger problem with the multiplayer stuff at this point in the game's lifespan than anything the multiplayer combat changes or doesn't change, because it means the only reasons to update DQVC are the legacy characters' outfits (which I hope are available some other way) and the offchance that one of the sale items it generates for you that day is mini medals.



What meaningful additions does DQIX have that DQVII or DQVIII didn't?
The main one I can think of is non-random battles (which DQ8 sort of did, but only with the special monsters for the arena; Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker did it for everything, but DQ9 is the first standard game in the series to have regular field encounters be that way), which really is a bigger deal than you'd think. And tied to that, while not doing the whole "you win low-level battles instantly after a certain level" thing EarthBound does (it can't because of the sidequests), DQ9 does have weaker monsters in the field run away from you if they see you, so you can chase them down if you need to, or just ignore them. I believe Chrono Trigger did this, and know the last two Persona games did, but I can't think of anything else. They also expanded heavily on the alchemy system from DQ8, but this could also be seen as a bad thing, since the game has over a thousand different items, and you can only find certain recipes through trial and error.

Bringing FFXIII's characters into the discussion seems weird because DQIX has NO characters.
I'm sure Chupperson will disagree with me here, but I think not having characters with personalities is better than having characters I can't like, even though the latter is the "modern" approach. (Actually, the true modern approach is pretending you're making a WRPG and/or a dating sim instead of a JRPG when you're writing character interactions, but Atlus is the only company doing that.)



It's important to note that in none of these posts I'm trying to say DQIX is a "bad game".
Nor am I saying you are. My apologies if it seemed otherwise; it may very well have given how often you attack the genre at hand.

I'm saying DQIX gameplay philosophy is roughly on par with the FFIII era, and thus Tycho is a hypocrite regarding SCII.
And I'm saying that DQ9 as a whole is closer to this decade than SC2. And as I said before, while I don't necessarily agree with Tycho's opinions regarding the game (particularly anything he said with regards to editors, since the SC2 editor is a lot more versatile than the WC3 editor, and is a part of the game where his sentiments simply do not apply), I do believe it's right to say that the end result after twelve years being little more than a remake of the original is a bit disappointing.

I do think [DQ9] was hurt by their multiplayer fixation in two ways: it necessitated the aforementioned lack of player character personality and caused the game to be on DS, which nosedived the series' graphics. (Not that DQ cares about graphics--look how it stayed up through DQVII--but DQVIII was just so gosh darned pretty...)
While I do agree that it being built as a multiplayer game hurts it in terms of them designing a central cast and in terms of some of what they could have done with the gameplay, as you said, Dragon Quest isn't about the graphics (though DQ8 is indeed a beautiful game, and I believe DQMJ looked better than DQ9), and it being on the DS adds the very wonderful feature of it being portable*. I do have a different aesthetic issue with the same cause, though: while Koichi Sugiyama's musical compositions are excellent as always, their rendition as digital audio (aside from the overture) rather than live orchestra recordings as in the previous game is rather depressing (particularly because the OST is the same way).

*I am firmly of the opinion that JRPGs are a far better fit for handheld systems than any console. While you obviously can't do something with the graphical intensity of FF13 on a handheld, I find myself increasingly more likely to play a handheld game than a console game. For me I guess it's something about being more capable of putting extensive time into a game I can take with me anywhere than a game where I'm tethered to a television.

She texted me saying, "I'm cancer free =)" and that was the last thing I ever heard from her. Two weeks later, she's gone. Apparently, she had caught flu soon after being treated and it took her.

I don't know man.  I can see where you're coming from, though.  However, when my uncle committed suicide on that dark February day over a year ago, I believe I just posted it here in this thread.  Never in my life did I ever come so close to having a mental BSOD.  I am so, so sorry for your loss.

On the other subject, yes, it just doesn't feel right referring to posts like yours as "complaining."  You're deeply saddened by your loss; you're obviously not complaining about something trivial, like your DS example.

Something that contained extreme amounts of bull happened the other day.

I was at Mejier and I wanted to get a copy of God of War III. I had always used my room mate's copy in the past so I never needed my own. The guy at the games/electronics counter says they have one in stock so they have to go back and get it. I wait about TEN minutes and he comes back and says it isn't there. What?! I tell him to go back and look again.

As a customer in a retail environment you expect certain behavior on the part of employees. I expected him to be a little annoyed, but his reaction was a little stronger. "F--- you!" he then pushed me and I went flying back towards the little flappy doors that are always separating the normal part of the store to the "back." When I looked up, I saw David Weiss. I asked Weiss what to do, there was a crazy employee who apparently didn't care about being fired. Weiss told me to open the door, get on the floor, everybody walk the dinosaur.

And I did.

On a more serious note, I got my PSP two days ago...the battery in it was broken (taped together, and when I opened it up to look inside, I found a gouge in the battery itself), so I can only play on AC power until I get a new battery. And I don't have a memory stick yet, so I can't save data for the games I bought (though thankfully neither is really affected that badly by lacking save functionality).

(Would it have killed Sony to have put some usable flash memory onboard these things just for saving games? This is the twenty-first century, for crying out loud. Even my crappy cell phone has 32MB onboard.)

For what it's worth, I'm quite happy with the system itself. It feels nice in my hands and, aside from the analog nub (which is optional for the one game I have that supports it), I have no problems playing games on it. The screen looks nice (I did buy a cheap soft case, so I can carry the system in my pocket and have the screen stay that way), and the audio volume and quality are quite good. And I'm loving both of the games I bought - DarkStalkers Chronicle is a port of a game I already loved to play (Vampire Chronicle for Matching Service, on the Dreamcast), and now I actually own a copy (it's pretty much impossible to buy the original - it was Japan-only, could only be bought directly from Capcom, and only five thousand copies were made), and Every Extend Extra would've been worth it even if it had just been a portable version of the original Every Extend.

2000. Didn't want a 1000 because automatically being able to put custom firmware on it wasn't worth the hardware features it'd lack, and didn't want a 3000 because you can't put CFW on them unless they're below a certain firmware (which most used ones wouldn't be). Also because it was $80.

I have to buy a cheap third-party output cable for mine because Sony only manufactures component cables, and only one television in my house supports component input. Bleh.

Other stuff: Cyvern: The Dragon Weapons is a really lame game, so I'm glad the first week of STGT2010 is over. Even better, the second week caught everyone completely off-guard; everyone was expecting "Repeat Week" to mean a game from a previous tournament, but instead we're playing Konami's classic R-TYPE clone, Xexex. Great game with straightforward scoring, so this is a far better state of affairs than playing a crappy game involving boss-milking...problem is, it won't run at playable speeds in MAME on either of my computers, and the only home port is part of Salamander Portable, which is Japan-only. So I'm not going to get to play the game as much as I'd like.

I'm tired of missing out on really (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistance_%28series%29) good (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassin%27s_Creed_%28series%29) games (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_gear) because my parents don't trust me.  Of course, they'll say that it's not about trust, but that it's about "protecting my soul."  Far be it from me to hurt my own soul, and they don't have bad intentions, but to put it bluntly, this is a steaming pile of bovine excrement.

Me and My Grandmother's computer have all of a sudden slowed to a crawl and stopped working entirely and I can't find out why, although I suspect it may have something to do with Chrome's recent update. DeviantArt since my Niece just called me and said she's having the same problem.

ASk about it? You mean, what happened to Max..? I'll send you a message maybe, unless everybody would like to know. I won't go into extreme detail..

Edit: Here is the story of what happened on Sunday. It should be known that my son has/had an extensive medical history (which I won't get into here)..

Long story relativley short, he had a very high fever on Sunday morning(105.5) and whenever he gets really sick, we are supposed to take him to Little Rock (Arkansas Children's Hospital). We started down the road, and sometime before Exit 74, his breathing started getting very shallow and Nicky called 911.

They told us to put on our emergency flashers and meet them at Exit 65. We did that and I started flying down the highway. A bit before we reached the exit, he stopped breathing completely. Nicky started doing cpr and trying to breath for him and I had to weave in bewtween traffic.

We made it to the exit where an ambulance was waiting. they started doing cpr also and put a breathing machine down his throat. A second amblunace came and took him to the White County Hospital, and we followed a first responder there.

They worked on him for about 10 minutes, but around 12:08 they pronounced him dead.

It's so ironic in a way: the twins had their 18 month shots on Friday, and that is also when the doctor gave us a heart to heart about being prepared for something like this. Kids like Max don't tend to have long lives anyway, but ti was still a shock.

I refuse to send EA any more of my money.  I was going to buy both the PS3 version of The Sims 3 and the Late Night Expansion for PC, but their stupid online order process has turned me off all EA products.  I selected Paypal so that I could simply click to complete my order.  All of the relevant info they requested is in Paypal, but they insist on me entering it anyway.  So, I did.  Then, my email address is already registered so they make me start all over.  Screw that crap.  Why would I waste my time typing all that info again AND pay shipping for something I could have, but will not purchased in a store (without shipping and get sooner) EVER!  Then I try to contact them, but they only allow contacts from registered members.  If you ask me, EA has gotten too big for my support.  Why do companies like EA make it hard to buy their wares?  And, why would anyone register in order to contact a company and by doing so wave their rights?  I repeat, EA sucks and I refuse to send them any more of my money!

Well, I got my picture in the newspaper. A photographer for the local newspaper came to the skatepark, and when I asked him what the article was about, he said, "We're doing an article to show that the skatepark scene is actually a good, clean one because it tends to get a bad rap." Pretty cool, right? There's a catch, though. A small ministry team originating from Wisconsin called "Skaters of Christ" had been touring the country and ended up at our skatepark. We were not aware that the photographer for the newspaper had been recruited by Skaters of Christ the day before to come get media of them visiting for the following day (especially when the photographer made no mention of the team when I talked to him).

(https://themushroomkingdom.net/board/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi969.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fae174%2FPorsche993TT%2FBikeTelegram.jpg&hash=703c0169074a4ea0c2c63e02bc8bd58e)

The caption below the picture reads: "Skaters with a Message - Members of Skaters of Christ participate in a demonstration Thursday at the Temple Skatepark. Getting ready to drop in to the ramp are [our names]. Skaters of Christ is a skateboard ministry that tours the country with a goal of sharing the message of Jesus Christ with extreme sports athletes."

That's me in the middle on my bike. Everyone who appeared in that picture was named in the caption, as you just read. However, the caption seems to be borderline slanderous because it virtually flat out states (or at least heavily implies) that all pictured were part of the group especially when no one in the picture was actually a member of Skaters of Christ and were actually just locals of the skatepark, myself included.

While I may or may not have the same views as Skaters of Christ and may or may not support them, I was kinda bothered by the fact that we were identified incorrectly. While it doesn't say "Members of Skaters of Christ, [our names], prepare to drop in", it definitely implies it, and who will be the only people that know we're not part of the group? Only us 7 that appear in the picture and others that know us that know we're not part of the group.

Reminds me of the time I won this relatively big Guitar Hero contest and got my pictures taken and everything, and all I saw in the newspaper was "A Guitar Hero Contest was held [at the fair] on a Wii type device." (It was actually played on a Xbox 360)

I wasn't too disappointed since I still got the prize. I must have been making a really obnoxious face into the camera that they wouldn't use it.

Post by: WarpRattler on October 19, 2010, 04:36:07 AM
It wasn't a missable item for me (just some sidequests requiring a certain alignment or, in one case, having cleared the game once), but I had a similar thing with Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey. Only, "restart" means "New Game Plus," and it wasn't a big deal because the game is ten hours long after the first time through. And then I ended up not going for 100% because I played other games.

It's odd that The 4 Heroes of Light is a single-file game, since SE's portable releases tend to have three or four save files. I drew up a checklist of the game's missables last night, but I'll inevitably forget something anyway.

Protip for those considering getting this game: Never leave good equipment with temporary party members. EVER.

Today I've given up on my Wii.  My daughter wanted to play SMK, but it took a long time to load.  Still, we played it for a while then I decided to download some new games.  It'd been awhile since I'd downloaded anything because I'd became frustrated with the load times for channels.  Well, after 17 minutes of staring at a black screen we gave up.  I'm emailing Nintendo now.  If they can't fix it I'm afraid my previous strong support* of Nintendo's consoles may be at an end.

No, seventeen minutes before I almost threw it at a wall.  Instead, I tried again (required unplugging it) and still it took so long I gave up and emailed Nintendo.

Wait... the hell? I think I had two tabs open and posted in the pointless topic, but the second I hit reply, I switched to my other tab before it loaded, then the post I had for this topic got blown up because Luigison posted before me... sooo, I think I thought this was pointless and resubmitted my post without thinking about it.

God, that was long-winded.

Is that confirmed?  The 25 Years of Super Mario site says, "Make sure to celebrate with Nintendo by checking back in on this site in weeks ahead."  While these could simply refer to new wallpapers and videos, I'm still holding out hope for a SMAS disc.

Also, It'll be over $80 to get my Wii fixed or replaced since it's out of warranty.  Strangely it loaded the shop channel fine tonight though.  Maybe leaving it unplugged for 24 hours helped.  It's normally on standby.  I'll try again later tonight and/or tomorrow and send it in if any channels have extra long load times or it freezes up again.

So uh, I remember some people asking if the block "physics" glitch in All-Stars would be returning for the 25th anniversary edition.

Ya know, where instead of bouncing down at an angle when you hit a brick block, it stops you and pulls you up like half a block (tends to happen most of the time if you keep holding the B/A button while hitting the block, or you're not running).

Well, it's still in the 25th anniversary.

Never expect Nintendo to do anything but the bare minimum when porting games.

You don't buy the SMAS 25th anniversary package for the game disc. You buy it for the art book and audio CD.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Trainman on October 31, 2010, 10:19:33 PM
It doesn't affect me either way (although I'm sure you were referring to Weegee), so I'm still getting it. I just figured I'd let people know it still exists.

I'm pretty sure Nintendo just wrote a quick emulator with a video filter and passed it off.

So again, why don't they just make the book and CD a Club Nintendo prize (or maybe just available in stores) and release SMAS on VC?
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!

a Club Nintendo prize
Where it'd be too late to celebrate the 25th anniversary, which is, you know, the entire point.
available in stores
Where it'd be relegated to the strategy guide rack and sit for all eternity.

By releasing it with Super Mario All-Stars, they simultaneously put it on game shelves, where it'll sell by virtue of having the Mario and Wii names on it, and rerelease a collection people have shown, on numerous occasions, that they will buy. Even for thirty dollars, which, again, is more the cost of the bonus goods than the game itself.

That's hardcore. I doubt they'll gain the rights to depict actual gaming icons like Donkey Kong, though.


After nearly six years of use, it looks as though my Nintendo DS is finally ready for retirement. Contrary to my previous observation (http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=13259.msg578930#msg578930), it's actually the touch screen that's malfunctioning. The top-left corner of the lower screen frequently registers pressure when I'm not touching it, while the middle is sometimes completely unresponsive. I'm not sure whether I should send it to The Great Landfill In Albuquerque the Sky and replace it with a DS Lite, or wait it out for the 3DS.

On every Nintendo handheld I've had since the SP, the L and R buttons crap out, usually gradually, sometimes repeatedly. Fortunately, they usually happen within a year of each other. I'd still like to know why the heck that always happens to me, though. I mean, are they not designed to be carried in pockets? Because that's the only thing I can figure.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!

I still have a perfectly good DS Lite.  I even dropped it once and all that happened was a slightly cracked casing.  Battery life kinda sucks these days, but other than that, it's in good shape.  Hoping it'll go toward a trade-in when it's time for a 3DS.

As for ANGST...

The cutscene in Other M.  If you've played the game, you know which one I'm talking about.  It's bad enough that the writing is I-threw-up-in-my-mouth bad, but what makes it worse is that people are actually trying to justify it with cries of "PTSD" and "mental and emotional issues."  I'm thinking of writing a long-winded attack on that cutscene and its horrible, horrible writing.

I'm incredibly careful with mine. The touch screen looks like it's in pristine condition. It has no visible scratches, I wipe any smudges as soon as they appear, and I've never spilt anything on it.

Actually, the only real problems with mine are screen-based: There's a stuck pixel, the calibration is irreparably skewed on the touch screen, and one screen temporarily glitches up whenever I open the lid. Save for the touch screen thing, though, none of these really affect gameplay.

Each of my DS's screens have a dead pixel, but they're only noticeable when their respective screen is black.

My touch screen has rendered Action Replay DS nearly unusable: It thinks I'm constantly scrolling down the list of games/codes, I have to hold the stylus against the screen while I navigate.

Unless Nintendo confirms that the 3DS's Virtual Console library will include GBA titles, I plan on getting a Lite for Christmas.

I slept through my alarm today and I was supposed to take a stats test at 11:00.  I woke up around 1:40 and emailed my professor right away about a makeup exam.  Around an hour and a half later it occured to me that he might still be in his office for whatever reason, so I checked my email and the course information website, to make sure he hadn't emailed me or put up test solutions.  After a fruitless fifteen-minute walk to and from his office, I checked my email again, to find out that he emailed the entire class something about his not being in his office today mere seconds after I'd last checked my email.  And somehow he either missed my email or ignored it.  It's thereby very likely that I'm going to get a 0 on the test due to my sleeping in today.  I hate my alarm clock now; whose idea was it to invent an alarm of gradually increasing intensity anyway?

I'm getting real god[darn] sick of DKCR physically disabling my second-player Wii Remote (doesn't matter which one--everything beyond one remote just konks out) every time the game gets turned on. And no, it can't be fixed with synching--via the button or "press 1 and 2 simultaneously" procedure. The last few days, my brother and have managed to get it to work by just dicking around with battery-changing and running through resets until it worked, but now it's totally a lost cause. Anyone heard of this happening to anyone else, under any other circumstances?

EDIT: Okay, tech support says you just have to press A when they say to sync the remote... the hell? Well, whatever, it looks like it works.

Rather unfortunately, the 25th anniversary All-Stars thing leaves a lot to be desired.

The history booklet seems pretty half-assed (and the CD since half the playlist is sound effects).

Those "interviews" are just one or two sentence responses about a particular game. Something generic like, "Yeah, 3D opened a lot of possibilities with Mario 64." The "Iwata Asks" interviews are infinitely more in-depth while the booklet looks like how short you'd keep responses if you were filling out a job application.

There's 3 or 4 cool little tidbits you can learn about in the booklet that there is really no information available on, but overall, I really think they pulled a New Super Mario Bros. Wii with this. I figured since this was a pretty momentous celebration here, they'd jam-pack all sorts of awesome info in, but nah, not really.

I mentioned earlier (http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=9323.msg581260#msg581260) that my DS's touch screen was on the fritz. The problem ceased for a while, but has now returned with a vengeance. Strangely, the touch screen began acting up again as I was playing Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light... Which was the game on which I first noticed the problem. Do you suppose the game itself has some bug that's affecting the touch screen's hardware?

Being told it doesn't matter that we own half the games in Hasbro Family Game Night in physical form or that it doesn't matter that Star Wars: The Force Unleashed was a bad game because the eleven-year-old might like them is like, to compare to what's in theaters at the moment, being told you could've been going to see TRON Legacy but are instead seeing Yogi Bear because the kids wanted to.

So I've pretty much dealt with that problem before it really began. And my sister bought Rune Factory Frontier, so at least one of my siblings is doing things right.

I found out that the UCLA Mattel Hospital would let me volunteer and actually work with children yesterday and so I did their application. Because of my minor statuses, every other hospital that I volunteer at wouldn't let me work with kids and since my major is going towards that, I wanted a bit of experience. I did their 500 word essay (I'd never heard of something like that in order to volunteer at a hospital, so I'm guess their selective). Stayed up all night primping and priming it. They said the due date was today and it had to be brought in or postmarked by this date. Well folks, January 2nd just happens to be a Sunday when the post offices are closed and so are their volunteer offices. It's just all too much. I've been looking everywhere to find somewhere that would let me work with kids and now it's being shut in my face.

I've had my fair share of computer issues Warp.  I feel ya.  I was luckily able to snag a fairly cheap 3rd party charger (which has worked to perfection since August btw) from some computer store website.  The cost of official replacement charger from the company (Toshiba): about $88 when you factor in tax and shipping.  Yeah, I would say taking a chance definitely worked out there.  I wound up spending less than half of that.

You've lived at home your whole life, right? There's tons of things you haven't experienced yet. Hell, I'm 24 and I'm just getting started.
If I were concerned about not having new experiences, this wouldn't worry me.  But I feel woefully unprepared for life.

Facing the unknown is daunting, and it's normal to be wary of it but you're taking it to an unreasonable extreme that I doubt you can justify.

I was scared too, not really driving until I also had a job. My suggestion is to take a car to a local park and drive around there, getting a feel for the vehicle, or just driving in general. It'll be like second nature after  a while. :)

Are there two parts to your state's driving test? A written part, and an actual driving part, or do you know?
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Turtlekid1 on January 22, 2011, 08:23:52 PM
I think there's just the driving bit as far as testing goes.

I've been driving for a couple of years now.  I wish I were more comfortable with it, but I'm not.  I'm certainly not ready to drive on my own.  I would have been in dozens of accidents by now if I didn't have a parent in the front seat.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Black Mage on January 22, 2011, 11:43:15 PM
How often do you drive? It takes practice to get comfortable and if you're not driving frequently then you're not going to get comfortable.

When I was learning to drive, I wasn't comfortable doing it either. It was stressful and wasn't something I was chomping at the bit to do. But what I did was went ahead and scheduled my driver's exam anyway. That gave me a solid date so I couldn't keep putting it off, which forced me to keep practicing up until the date rolled around.

Things won't improve unless you do something about it and crying that you have "no future" isn't going to get you one, ya know?
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: bobman37 on January 23, 2011, 12:20:36 AM
Yeah man I was pretty scared of driving when I first started. When my scheduled driving sessions were coming up I'd be nervous all day. My instructor had me going on big roads really early, which I realized is a good way to just get the scary stuff out of the way fast. It took me probably a year before I was totally completely comfortable with driving (toward the end it was mostly long distances and areas I didn't know that made me nervous), and even now I get a little anxious on the freeway. But it's important to be confident and practice defensive driving, your confidence in your skill should overshadow nerves.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Turtlekid1 on January 23, 2011, 07:06:35 AM
It's city driving that hits me the hardest.  Freeways are easy for me since there are no turns and everyone's going the same direction, and the speed limit stays constant most of the way.  But city driving?  Morons around every corner.  I've never had any problems on a straight road going at a high speed.  It's when I'm stopped at intersections that I'm worried about.

And I'm not worried about not having a future.  I said I have nothing to look forward to, not "no future."  I have a future.  I don't want to face it.

I was worried about that too, and there are morons in every town. Just kinda go with the flow of traffic. Whenever I reach an intersection, if there's no stoplight, I generally take my time pulling up to it. I'll slow down just a little bit sooner to make sure I was the last one to reach my stop sign. That way, there is no way the moron across from me can tell me they had right-of-way in an accident.

Edit: If it wasn't for my son having to go back to the state's Children's Hospital every month/couple of months, I never would have gotten over my fear of highway driving, and/or driving long distances (it's a 2 hour drive down there..)

What gets me is these people that stop when there's not even a stop sign or when they have right-of-way, but that's a rant/story for another time.

I had the opposite problem.  Every time I used a blinker on my mom's van the windshield wipers would turn on.  I passed fine though. 

Learning wasn't fun though.  My first time I made if half way around the block before my dad stopped me, got out, took the driver's seat, and completed the block home in silence never to help me again.  Our block was in such a topography that each stop was on an upward slope which made it hard for me in a standard.

Actually, now that I think about it, that's wrong, LD. I can think of several games I've played that are easier than driving, even automatic. Among them:

-Gradius III (SNES)
-modern Tetris (exception: The Grand Master series)
-Kingdom Hearts II (exception: the recycled fanservice bonus boss)
-BioShock (it's like if you and your car respawned every time you crashed)
-Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (it's like if you could just fly everywhere instead of driving)
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: bobman37 on January 24, 2011, 12:33:14 PM
You really think driving is harder than Bioshock? And Tetris? Sounds like someone needs practice driving.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: WarpRattler on January 24, 2011, 06:48:33 PM
Dude, have you played modern Tetris? The way that game works nowadays, walking is more difficult.

And, again, BioShock has Vita-Chambers. The way they're implemented, there is literally zero difficulty unless you turn them off. If you want, you can just equip the wrench and kill everything with that forever, because if you die you'll just be brought back instantly and be able to go right back to smacking whatever just killed you. Like with JRPGs, it comes down to patience rather than skill.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: bobman37 on January 24, 2011, 07:27:52 PM
There's a difference between doing something and being good at it. Bioshock has infinite lives, but you have to be good to not die. Anyone can boot up Bioshock and die repeatedly until they chip away enough of their enemies' life that they reach the end credits. Anyone can sit in a car, hit the gas and "drive" until they hit something, but the point is to be good at it. Being good at games is IMO harder than operating a vehicle.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!

Again: anyone can play a game and sit there and die over and over. That's not hard, but that's also not trying (playing). Trying to be good at games is harder than trying to drive.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: WarpRattler on January 24, 2011, 07:42:33 PM
But only in BioShock can you sit there and die over and over and actually make progress.

You're trying to bend the definition of "play" to suit your argument. It doesn't mean "be good at," or "try." It means play.

Uh, by drive I pretty much meant "not die" and by play a videogame I pretty much meant "not die".

On a related point, it's a lot easier to drive accident-free in RL than in a simulated city game like Grand Theft Auto. The controls are way better in RL and the civilian AI is way better in RL.

Half (or more) of the fun of the site is finding an unfamiliar trope, thinking "I wonder what this one is?" and spending the day clicking all the different interesting links you come across.

If every trope is Exactly What It Says On The Tin, then that fun is gone.  Besides, if you're really stumped, that's what Lost and Found is for.

I preordered Wind Waker back in the day and got the OoT bonus disc. I distinctly remember thinking OoT was the best game ever at the time (I was 13). Then once I got Wind Waker, it took years for me to even attempt to go back to that horrible framerate (even on GameCube) and that unspeakably bad 1-heart beep (possibly even more annoying than LttP's). I started replaying it again not long ago, finished the Fire Temple, and then within a week, they announced the 3DS remake. So I'm waiting for that now.

The game was huge when it came out. Nostalgia might have something to do with where people rank it, but its popularity surely stems from it being a great game.

You're entitled to your opinion TK, so fair enough that you don't like it. There are plenty of reasons not to like the game, it's definitely not perfect, but I've never heard of complaints about the framerate... or the pacing, really. The frame rate, as I recall was pretty stable and stayed right about at what most N64 games did-- 25~30 fps. I'd be interested to know what specifically you don't like about the pacing, though.

I don't know, I'm starting to buy into LD's theory.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Turtlekid1 on February 24, 2011, 07:31:28 PM
Framerate may be because I'm playing on Wii64, but it's supposed to run at full speed even there.  A couple of guys on Metroid 2002's forum have said that it only runs at around 20 FPS even on the actual N64, so I don't think that's just me experiencing problems because of an emulator.

Pacing is just... I don't know.  The beginning just seems to move very slowly, which may have something to do with the framerate, but it doesn't feel like the story is going anywhere.  I can't put my finger on it, and I'm perfectly willing to admit that it has a lot to do with my personal preference, but it just does not move fast enough for me.

Another cause of ANGST for me is that I've been dealing with a cold lately, which wouldn't be so bad normally, but today I've gained this itch in my nose that makes me feel like I'm constantly about to sneeze, but I never actually do.  It's driving me up the wall - especially when it flares up.  Makes my eye water and impairs my breathing and everything.  :\

I agree with this, but every time I come back to the game, I notice how well it has aged. It's definitely not perfect, but I honestly can't find too many flaws with it.

That really stinks. I wish I could say something more constructive... I feel for you.

In ANGST news: I have been sick everyday since Saturday. Saturday night, really. We went out to a Chinese restaurant, and after a couple of bites, I started getting some stomach pain. Sunday, the stomach pain got a bit worse. I had to work so I just had some sprite while I was there and I also had a severe headache that day.

Monday (also my birthday) the stomach pain started going away, but my headache became a migraine. I did nothing but lie around (when my daughter would let me) and groan about it. I recall getting off the couch at some point after my wife came home and shivering from apparently severe cold. She told me to eat, but I didn't feel much like eating..

Tuesday came the day my body started the cleansing. I won't go into detail, but I know why I had so much stomach pain now.

Today, I only had a bit of stomach pain in the morning, and it has long since vanished. I don't think I can eat full meals again just yet, but I feel tons better.

I also have minor angst because nobody here remembered my birthday (or didn't post in the Ultimate Birthday Compiliation)

Anyways, Current Affairs class begins this Tuesday. From then on, I'll have to write, record and produce a four-minute piece on a different topical issue each week. That in itself isn't terrible, but having to gather audio by interviewing "prominent" individuals pertinent to each topic is a nightmare. It's basically impossible to interview employees of any given business because it's against union policy to do so, and managers ALWAYS claim to be too busy. The same goes for even the lowliest of local politicians. To top it all off with whipped cream, the end result is mind-numbingly dull. Think Ira Glass, with extra boring. And to top that whipped cream off with chocolate sauce, we're not allowed to use sports- or entertainment-related issues. And to top that chocolate sauce off with a Maraschino cherry, Current Affairs replaces Radio Production, which is one of the most vital classes in the entire program.

I've heard very mixed things about folks having their wisdom teeth removed.  On the one hand you have the camp that tells horror stories about how painful and annoying the whole affair is; and on the other hand you have people who disregard the first group and tell you "they're exaggerating, it's not that bad."  Which group is telling the truth?

Post by: BP on March 13, 2011, 08:30:05 PM
For the worried: I was awake through my procedure, but heavily numbed. The numb shots were painful at first, being shots and all, and I could feel the spots where they entered my gums for a long while after. But they did their job, making it feel like the actual removal was just a lot of pressure, not serious pain.

After the first pair of teeth were removed, I made the mistake of staying awake until the bleeding stopped. Again, it didn't hurt--it was just frustrating, being gagged by the gauze. I recommend sleeping until the bleeding stops and you can spit that crap out. I did that the second time and saved myself a deal of annoyance.

For as long as you've got the stitches, you can't eat, you have to have nothin' but milkshakes and pudding. This can leave you feeling somewhat hungry a lot of the time, and rather sick of milkshakes. Mix some fruit juices and stuff in vanilla shakes to help prevent that.

Also they say you can't use straws for the duration.

I barely took any of my painkillers. I simply wasn't in pain, just sore, as if I'd saved the world by chewing up a moon-sized meteor. Tired.

The stitches will loosen up when you're ready for 'em to go, but if an end comes loose too early it can be really annoying. Just grin and bear it until the whole thing is loose enough to go. I pulled 'em out myself with a tiny pair of scissors and tweezers.

After the whole thing you've got four more spots to really pay attention to. Stuff gets caught back there and early on you may not realize it.

But overall it wasn't so bad for me but it must vary from person to person. Add from dentist to dentist.

For Peach: Other? Then you must already know what to expect for your case... Good luck, I guess.

While watching Dragon Ball Kai episode 96 yesterday, I noticed something. Kai's beautiful score has been replaced with the old Japanese score from Dragon Ball Z. Apparently the musical composer Kenji Yamamoto plagiarized other sources.

Although his actions are truly reprehensible, I ****ing loved Kai's soundtrack. It pains me that I'll never get to hear it in another episode.

Post by: PaperLuigi on March 25, 2011, 11:24:34 AM
I respectfully disagree. Faulconer's music is pretty bland at times. I don't like the original Japanese score for the same reason.

Of course, I like select songs from both scores but Yamamoto's score was perfect in all cases.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Turtlekid1 on March 25, 2011, 11:28:13 AM
Well, it actually made sense that Yamamoto would be doing the score for the show, since he's already proven his competence with the games' soundtracks.  Now that I think of it, they should just replace the plagiarized stuff with the music from the Budokai series.  Still Yamamoto, except not plagiarized and much better anyway.

Toei's idea of removing all of his music allows them to take his name off the credits and be completely done with him. If they only got rid of the plagiarizing tracks they would still have to keep Yamamoto's name with the series.

Anyway, Kai is over, since they aren't going to air Episode 98. And since reruns of the series on Toonzai have the DBZ score, it's only a matter of time until the Nicktoons airings follow suit.

They were originally going to air it, but the hurricane delayed everything a week, and Toriko, the new Toei series that is taking Kai's place in the timeslot, is scheduled to air April 3. Toei has confirmed they are not going to push back Toriko a week to air the final DB Kai, so it simply won't air.

Bah.  Bruce Faulconer is where it's at, anyway.

Agreed. I mean, the others are good too, but he's the best. Plus Kai has a soundtrack of maybe 50 songs at absolute maximum. BF has 9 CD's, and even though some songs are duplicated across different CD's, THAT whole collection still doesn't cover the entire soundtrack, and each one has about 30 or 40, with one pushing past 50! Kai uses the same songs OVER and OVER and OVER! The insert songs are good, at least.

Woah, Toonzai has the Z Score? (The Japanese score is REALLY good, though. I prefer Faulconer, but the Japanese version also had good music. Too bad the orange sets only have the BF score in Stereo, whereas the "English w/ Japanese" track is in 5.1 surround. It's also a shame that that set replaces most of the original voices in the Frieza saga. True, the acting's pretty lame in the original, but it's always either funny or filled with "Narm Charm.")

I have angst because I'm in my school's choir and I have to sing Justin Bieber's music. And we paired that with The Beatles. It's an insult to even have music from The Beatles and Bieber's music in the same room. I mean, Rebecca Black's worse, but at I don't have to sing her on a stage.

Post by: Black Mage on March 29, 2011, 04:40:09 PM
Woah, what? Faulconer's music was foul. Contemptible. Erroneous.

The original Japanese DBZ score is by far my favorite, but Kai's new soundtrack is really good as well.

Man... even the original Funi dub's music was much better than Faulconer's compositions. Remember the clown music for Android 19? Classic.

Fast food is a field that is rather hectic, and not one person makes all the sandwiches.  I don't know if you've worked at a Wendy's/BK/McDonald's/etc., but they have some of the most pain-in-the-buttocks managers, who want it in and out as fast as possible. 

Also, I don't see how it is inedible.  Scrape the rest off if you really don't like it and move on.  At least it isn't a chicken sandwich with lettuce, tomato and no chicken (This actually happened to my father from BK)

Yea, people aren't smart, but if I had to choose between picking off a tomato, and, say, someone forgetting which pedal is the brake, I'd be happy I can still eat at all.

About half right. I have fairly strong textural issues with food that make me unable to eat a lot of different foods. And it wasn't just picking off tomatoes, there was cheese (already melted), ketchup, probably mustard, etc. It's a bit of a waste but I'd probably not be able to eat it without throwing up even if I tried to pick off whatever I can.

But yeah, it blows that Titan has to end because nobody wanted to produce toys. Same reason Static Shock ended and its a same reason 4kids stopped dubbing shojo anime.

He's referring to the original 52 episode run, the one Tartakovsky directed. The series was put back in production in 2001 with a new studio at the same time that Tartakovsky moved on to Samurai Jack. You could tell too since it had an art style shift and a retconned Mandark backstory that sucked.

To be fair the reason for Dexter's new voice was because Christine Cavanaugh retired from voice acting. Oddly enough she also voiced Chuckie Finster on Rugrats, both roles of which Simpsons voice actress Nancy Cartwright took her place.

He's referring to the original 52 episode run, the one Tartakovsky directed. The series was put back in production in 2001 with a new studio at the same time that Tartakovsky moved on to Samurai Jack. You could tell too since it had an art style shift and a retconned Mandark backstory that sucked.

I dunno, I always assumed Mandark was lying about his backstory in that episode. I mean, would you trust a guy like him?

Nancy Cartwright didn't do Dexter in the post-movie episodes. You're thinking of Candi Milo.

So it seems Adam Copeland (otherwise known as Edge) has actually been forced to retire by his doctors because his spine is so messed up, that even one more match could potentially paralyze him for life or even kill him.

I'm watching his retirement speech right now, and its just heartbreaking to see him announce this to fans.

Now, all that's left is another clean 'n' corporate webpage--at least KnowYourMeme was relatively inoffensive to begin with, before it got ensnared by the Cheezburger network. Am I the only one who thinks "the internet" stops being funny when you compile it like that? Next thing you know, Google will buy 4chan.

Despite all its racism and gore and porn, ED was an invaluable reference work on the culture of the early 20th century. No kidding. It wasn't reluctant to cover, in complete graphic detail, topics any conventional media outlet wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole. Sites like KnowYourMeme are nothing but corporate fluff in comparison.

Speaking of Wikis, has anyone been on TVTropes? That site has lately become boring. They've been renaming every trope that isn't generic/bland like Hot For Student, Nightmare Fuel, and (Oh dear god!) all of the "Crowning Moment" tropes. One of the mods keeps going on discussion pages saying "COMPLAIN ON THE FORUMS. NOT HERE." and in general the site has become much less free than before. Seriously, it's below a shadow of its former self. The mods/admins have been huge ******bags as of late, and they also lock pages with "Too much negativity." I'm about ready to call off that site for good. I mean, if it's not gonna be fun, what's the point? Why do I need to be informed about tropes? The opinions and jokes are what make it unique, [darnit]!

1. I wouldn't bring TV Tropes up on this forum if I were you.  Certain fun-hating people won't take kindly to that.
2. I agree wholeheartedly, and was actually just discussing this on another forum about an hour ago.  The direction in which the site is headed... well, to put it bluntly, it sucks.  Between the rampant destruction of the fun trope names and the enforced, all-pervasive "BE POSITIVE OR ELSE" attitude, it's just not a nice place to be anymore.  Still, the forums are all right if you stay away from the boards pertaining to the wiki itself.

Yeah. 'Specially Fast Eddie. He deletes pretty much all negative criticism of him that he finds, then he and his fellow mods/admins laugh about it. I guess one of the biggest problems with the site now are these dumb, anal, and compulsive direction the organization of pages has taken. What's with all these subpages? What the hell is this "YMMV tropes on their own page" garbage? And with the pages themselves, what're all these "So Bad It's Horrible kinda being deleted" and "OPINIONS R BADZ" things about. Again, not Wikipedia.

Oh, and on the subject of ED, I never cared for it. I always thought it was just people ranting on and on about one subject in a vulgar manner, but then again I never actually visited because I'm not getting scarred for life from pictures that make ****** look like cookies and ice-cream.

I haven't been on ED for years, but it truly is sad to see it go. I checked Oh Internet on a whim since Jake told me the news, and it looks so...shamelessly inoffensive, like Know Your Meme. I guess the writing is on the wall when they removed every article dealing with racism, and they began to license meme merchandise to cover the cost of the website, and then they basically became irrelevant when /b/ was so far removed from the rest of 4chan, that the site became its personal catalog.

Most of all, I'll miss all the random articles about internet losers. It was so fun to see such shameless mocking of people with weird fetishes and dysfunctional lives. Not even CWCiki can do the same with their extensive coverage of Chris-chan.

I'm getting really sick of GLADoS making me play her song every time I play Audiosurf. It would've been cool the first time if I'd cared about Portal, but it lost any possible positive effect after the first time, and it is far too intrusive of an ad to force on me every time I play a game I paid for.

Portal is dangerously close to going on my Napoleon Dynamite list.

1. GLaDOS.
2. Why don't you care about Portal?
3. The Potato Sack promo ends in less than five hours. Presumably the ARG content will go away at that time as well.



I'm annoyed at eBay right now because the reserve system is retarded. The way it is right now, the normal system for max bids (you set a max bid and it automatically bids up to that amount if someone else places a bid) is still in place even if there's a reserve, so I'm sitting at a bid of $1.29 on an auction where the reserve isn't met. Which means there's probably no chance of me actually being able to win the auction.

A better design would involve it automatically placing your given max bid if the reserve hasn't been met. Or reserves not existing.

I freakin' love General Tso's chicken, but when I open up that book that says Children of the Mind on it, I want to read a book by Orson Scott Card, not look at pictures of delicious chicken.

However, in that actual example, I wouldn't really mind that much, since the book in question is in fact a library book which I am reading for free. I'd be willing to accept ads in library books. Audiosurf, however, is a game that I paid money for. Granted, it was on sale, but still, I paid for the full version of the game. And I'm being subjected to an ad for an unrelated game every time I play it.

What really gets me is the implicit hypocrisy. Us gamers are supposed to despise ads with every fiber of our being because they remind us that Republicans are right about capitalism, and a special circle of gamer hell is reserved for ads inserted against our will and/or without our knowledge into games that we paid for -- even when they don't directly interfere with gameplay (which this one does) and are optional (which this one isn't). So why does Portal get a free pass? If this were an ad for Microsoft or the Kardashians or Christianity or Mountain Dew or one of those other non-indie things that we're supposed to hate, there would be riots in the streets. FREAKIN' RIOTS I TELL YOU.

Actually, what actually really gets me is that it's a sucky ad. Either record more than one voice clip or only do it once. Whether or not it was effective the first time, it will be annoying the second time, and every time onward.

Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm just really really sick of cake jokes. Screw you, gLADOS.

Audiosurf loses a lot of its novelty fast, and it's been on sale for less than $5 several times anyway. You'd be better off waiting for the summer sale to get it in a $5 pack with four other games, or for $2.50 by itself, or whatever happens this year.

Defense Grid: The Awakening, on the other hand, is definitely worth $5.

Also, to respond to your arguments, CrossEyed:

RE: having paid for Audiosurf and having to deal with an ad for another game whenever you play it: I'm guessing from your displayed playtime and from when you earned achievements that you bought it during the Potato Sack sale, which was Portal-related. So you're complaining that there was a Portal ad in a game you paid for during a sale that was specifically designed to advertise Portal.

RE: why Valve gets away with this stuff: If it were any of those things you mentioned, it'd be done solely using their own products. Valve, in the course of this whole campaign, not only advertised their own game (that was guaranteed to be a huge seller anyway), but also helped promote the games of several other, much smaller companies, and in doing so helped introduce a great deal of brand-new and highly-enjoyable content to most of the games involved. Look at The Ball, which featured a new campaign in which you progressed through ruined versions of several of the test chambers from Portal, or Defense Grid, which was given two brand-new maps (one of which featured brand-new dialogue for both GLaDOS and the game's own cynical AI) and a couple of neat little minigames. Many of the other games featured similar (though less expansive) additions. And all of this was entirely free content added to existing games.

Valve also flew nine of the ARG's participants out to Seattle to play Portal 2 early. Not press, but normal players who had devoted themselves to solving the puzzle Valve had laid out.

On top of that, anyone who earned all thirty-six potatoes (which required players to complete objectives in all thirteen games, plus join a certain Steam community group) was given the Valve Complete Collection at Portal 2's launch. That's twenty-two games, in a pack that normally sells for $100, as a reward for playing other companies' games.

RE: it being a sucky ad: I never even heard a GLaDOS voice clip when I went to launch Audiosurf to try to earn the two potatoes for it. It just forced me to play "The Device Has Been Modified" on Pointman as my first song, and that was the song I was going to play anyway because it was part of the ARG content.

It wasn't marked as that. There was a thing below that said you could also get it as part of a bundle of games, but I didn't bother reading that part because I don't have $40.

Besides, how am I supposed to know Potato Sack = Portal unless I'm already a Portal fan who is closely following the Portal 2 launch? It would make sense if it was to promote Lay's Potato Chips. What does Portal have to do with potatoes? They both start with P?

Lots of words start with P.

"Interesting song selection. You must have had good taste in music. A long time ago. Now redirecting you to the correct song."
GLAdOS said that every time. Except for the times he didn't. He kinda stopped saying it, but he still does the song thing.
He did it when I was supposed to be doing the tutorial level. It made everything the wrong color. I didn't know what to do.
I should sue GLADOs.

ARGh!

(and no, I'm not being entirely serious. just partly. a little.
it's really my fault for buying a game and enjoying it and playing it a lot.
not beign serious.
portal is going on my napoleon dynamite list, though.)

ARGH is right.  Because of the ARG I bought the steam version of Portal 2 when I'd planned to get the PS3 version.  Sure, the PS3 version cost about ten dollars more, but it came with a free Steam unlock for PC.  So, for about  $10 more I could have had the option to play it on PC and/or PS3. 

Edit: Plus, if I'd pre-order through Amazon I'd have gotten on the same day the Steam version unlock and had $20 in Amazon credit.

In-game ads are annoying. In-game ads that reference tired jokes, doubly so. Also, what else is on CE7's Napoleon Dynamite List?

I got Audiosurf for... I think $2.50, on some deal last year. There's artsy-fartsy abstract music games out the wazoo on Steam, so I have no idea if there's a better one out there, but I had fun with it for a while.

3. The Potato Sack promo ends in less than five hours. Presumably the ARG content will go away at that time as well.
Does that mean "Update Paused" will go away from a quarter of my games?
By the way, I'm friending a bunch of you in Steam right now, so you better all add me. (Is there a topic for that somewhere? I don't know.) And you better have the same taste in music as me so we can fight in Audiosurf.

My name in there is CrossEyed7. Don't forget it.

Also some of you have different names there than here, so maybe you should add me yourself so I know you're you.

I was thinking the same thing about the potential for a Steam accounts thread, but I don't think it happened. I got invited into the TMK group, though, and I'm friends with Luigison and Warp, but that's it so far. Hey, wait, what's the difference between being friends and being in a group? Because there's a lot of people in the group... oh, I don't know, this post is getting disjointed enough as it is.

I was immediately concerned that the only pony that looked slightly angry or tomboyish was the rainbow pony. Since there’s a false stereotype that all feminists are angry, tomboyish lesbians, it was disconcerting to think that a kid’s TV show would uphold this.
Is it just me, or does sociological criticism like this pretty much always boil down to hypocritical circular reasoning? "That one pony looks tomboyish. This evil patriarchical society thinks all feminists are angry or that lesbians are all tomboys or tomboys are all lesbian feminists but in a bad way or some combination of that, therefore this pony, created by patriarchs, cannot simply be a tomboy, but must be a horrid stereotype of angry tomboy lesbian feminists, which is bad. How dare they!"

Self-righteous assumptions like that really **** me off. As Lauren Faust said in her rebuttal (http://msmagazine.com/blog/blog/2010/12/24/my-little-non-homophobic-non-racist-non-smart-shaming-pony-a-rebuttal/), "As we all know, there are plenty of straight tomboys in the world, and assuming they are lesbians is extremely unfair to both straight and lesbian tomboys."

I showed the video to fellow Ms. intern/blogger Kyle and asked, “What’s wrong with this picture?” he responded, “There aren’t any black ponies. Why aren’t there any brothas on the wall?” I had originally assumed that the purple ponies were supposed to represent black ponies, but he was right–the ponies don’t seem very racially diverse.
There aren't any Caucasian ponies either, dumb***. Because they're ponies.

Actually, I'm pretty sure Kyle was mocking you.

I mean, she complains that there's no black ponies, but the only reason she thinks there's no black ponies is because none of the ponies have any identifiable racial characteristics, and to her, white = normal. She'd respond that it's not her equating whiteness with normality, she's just pointing out that the racists running the show equate whiteness with normality. But she has no evidence for that.

She already knows that the show is made by a bunch of racist sexist homophobic chauvinist men, so she looks for a racist sexist homophobic chauvinist interpretation of everything she sees in it, and then acts shocked at all the racism, sexism, homophobia, and chauvinism that she sees, which then serves as more evidence in her head that all media is made by racist sexist homophobic chauvinist men. All of which serves only to undermine serious efforts at rectifying racism, sexism, homophobia, and chauvinism.

If she had actually watched the show rather than just looking at a picture of it, she'd see that it's by far the least sexist show ever made for girls. And it was made by a woman.

And anyway, there's a black pony in episode 9.

RRoD is caused by having the console run for too long, correct? I never got my very own red ring, but I made my Wii die that way at least twice before figuring out that leaving it on while away for the weekend probably wasn't a good idea
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: WarpRattler on May 14, 2011, 05:06:22 PM
RRoD was caused by an overheating issue related to how the internals of the system used to be designed. Basically, there's a clamp that holds a couple of the parts together, but it's really cheap, and it bends really easily when the system heats up. If it bends too far, wham, RRoD.

It's worth noting that the PS3 had the exact same problem, except it was solder melting, and Sony didn't offer free repairs for out-of-warranty consoles. Look up "Yellow Light of Death" sometime.

More angst: I had a serious headache today. Almost migraine type. This is the third one in almost as many weeks. I haven't been to a doctor in ages (for headaches anyway), so the most I can do is take my Excederine Migraine and hope I don't throw up. It doesn't stop the pain but it might stop the throwing up. (sorry if that was gross. That's what happens with the more severe ones)

I completely forgot: I did get to see a doctor pretty recently. He gave me a script that I never got filled, but it's ok. Nicky was there with me and he basically prescribed me the Excedrine (which we can get without a script. Working in a pharmacy has helped her out.. )

Also, Camping says it happens 6 PM local time everywhere, so even if he's right, Americans will have plenty of warning as reports come in from Australia.

However, if Camping is right about everything, then it's impossible to be saved after 1988 anyway, so it's kinda pointless.

Howeverever, if Camping were right about everything, the world would have ended multiple times already.

At least we're kind of past the "uninvolving and generic... but it's 3D" years that brought us Beowulf and Journey to the Center of the Earth. It's probably because of when I grew up (heck, when all of us grew up), but every time I see that a movie's coming out in 3D, I feel like it's compensating for something.

B) 3DTVs making their way into homes that people are going to want to use

C) 3DS

3D is not going away this time. But it also won't be mandatory for your home movies or gaming. Think surround sound: supported by most games and movies, and used at most theatres, but some people will never get it at home, ever.

And that's not even considering the fact that a lot of those do the cheap 3D that makes everything dark. I say that anybody who honestly cares about 3D being the new color film, they need to use that double-camera stuff they did for Avatar (yes, I know it's more expensive). Sure, that movie used 3D as a crutch, but at least it wasn't the retroactive Paper Mario-type 3D they tossed onto stuff like Clash of Titans.

RRoD is caused by having the console run for too long, correct? I never got my very own red ring, but I made my Wii die that way at least twice before figuring out that leaving it on while away for the weekend probably wasn't a good idea

Yes it was, actually. What's crazy is I've had my Wii on for... seriously months. Only thing that turns it off is when the power goes out which has occurred twice, and I turned it off when I was playing my 360 exclusively for a while (which I've stopped letting run because it heats up my room).

Also, Camping says it happens 6 PM local time everywhere, so even if he's right, Americans will have plenty of warning as reports come in from Australia.

However, if Camping is right about everything, then it's impossible to be saved after 1988 anyway, so it's kinda pointless.

Howeverever, if Camping were right about everything, the world would have ended multiple times already.

So no.

Speaking of him, I read an article somewhere where instead of saying he was wrong, he says he was simply wrong about the date out of nowhere and the rapture is supposed to occur on October 21.

Someone told me a Bible verse the other day:

Matthews 24:36 - But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

Camping... glossed over that, I guess?

The original thing was that after May 21st, it would be living hell and chaos on earth for everyone who didn't get beamed up into heaven. God would then get tired of torturing his toys on October 21st and destroy the planet, and everyone who died would not go to hell, but completely cease to exist.

Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light is breakin' my ever-lovin' balls, man. I restarted its single save file in hopes of attaining the perfect file that eluded me last time around. Of the game's seven ultimate acievements (Get 9,999,999 Gil, complete the bonus dungeons, fully upgrade every job on every character, upgrade one piece of equipment to the maximum of +99, talk to every animal in the world, obtain at least one of every item and open every single treasure chest), I had completed all but the last two. However, according to the strategy guide and every online resource imaginable, my file was absolutely complete. Cross-referencing my item stock with an online listing of their hex locations proved I had at least one of every object in the game's programming, and I used an Action Replay code to walk through mother****ing walls to scour every dungeon for hidden vaults. Now, over thirty hours into my current run through the game, it looks as though I've once again hit a dead end. The fact that nobody on the searchable internet has announced their completion of The 4 Heroes of Light makes me wonder if those last two achievements are even possible to finish.

I'm not making a seperate thread for this because nobody else has this game.

And I've got this [darn] English 102 paper to finish up--with a topic I'm sort of regretting picking because I'm not sure it's possible to effectively present in the confines of an argumentative paper--and the standards are so tight-ass that you fail the paper/class/don't graduate this quarter if you don't do stuff within these exact specifications.

But the first reaction in a situation like this isn't "Hmm am I right in thinking/feeling what I do," it's "What a dick that guy is being." Doesn't matter if you're right or wrong. It's behavior like that what makes people think all atheists are angry elitists.

But you also have to ask yourself if those beliefs are worth having. Religion is more than just a taste as opposed to liking Mario games.

Many people do and come to the conclusion that they are. Not everyone is some brainwashed fool who can't think for themselves and is waiting for you to liberate them from the dangerous and oppressive threat of Religion.

Even saying that, supposing that attempting to get people to reevaluate their beliefs (every time the topic comes up) was actually your intention, then don't you think calling it "nonsense" or another derogatory word is much less effective than respectfully explaining your point?

Also, I wish you and your family my best. Going through something like that is never easy, and hope you can have as much time with him as possible.

Hold up, was that intended to offended him? That's making out gay porn to be a bad thing. It would've been better to criticize him for doing it.

It wasn't a criticism.  It was a suggestion.  He might be a little more tactful than his father though.

I can hear the porn my dad is watching in our living room.

I don't think his a stranger to porn anyway.  He's brought it up over a dozen times that I've seen.  Besides, I've suggest similar in the past:

Turtlekid1, you should try to be gay.  Really try.  Give it a few of weeks.  Go on a date.  Watch some gay entertainment.  Look longingly into your dates eyes for several minutes.  Make out.  Enjoy it.  Want to do it again.  Be gay.

If you can force yourself to be gay, really gay, then it is a choice.  If you can't decide to be gay then someone who is gay probably can't just decide to be straight.  If you find it impossible to change your sexual orientation then stop calling others people's orientation a choice.

Do this sound like a fair challenge? 

Edit:  Angst.

My guess is that while it's a sequel to the Wii (brand recognition and all), the screen on each controller forces more of a focus on controller, and, by extension, the person holding the controller; you. Or U.

Q: Will players use two touchscreen controllers or will they use just one new controller and the original Wii controls with the new console?

Miyamoto: Our basic premise is that you can use one with a system. If we got to an idea of having multiple (controllers) it might be just more convenient for people to use their Nintendo 3DS and have a way to connect that.

That being said, we are doing research about if someone brings their controller to their friends house and they want to play together on Wii U to whether or not something like that would be possible.

In the press conference I recall Reggie saying that it's suited for your specific needs, meaning you can play it in a variety of styles. Use all buttons if you want, or use none; use both buttons and touch screen controls if you want. That's something I really like about this console; it really gives the player control on how they want to play the game. On top of that, it has the potential to give unique play experiences that no other console is capable of giving.

But seriously, so you can only have up to one person using the touch controller with the system, and otherwise it's Wii remotes all around? Well, shoot, no wonder their stocks went down the crapper... is this a separate piece of hardware, or what?

Their stocks dropped when the Wii was announced, too. And when the 3DS was announced. Their stocks didn't drop because of the product that none of you have used or even seen more than videos of being bad, they dropped because Nintendo does crazy things that confuse the old men that are their stockholders.

We took our eight-year-old dog to the vet yesterday because he was yelping in pain every time he made a sudden movement or was moved. It turns out he has arthritis in one leg and a torn cruciate ligament in the other. We can't play with or walk him for the rest of the summer, lest the condition of his legs detiriorate further. He's also developed a breathing problem, most likely due to a collapsed trachea. My dad took some pictures of him today, just in case.

So it's pretty much official that I've lost 100% of everything on my PS3. In other words, the miracle of modern storage technology has reached back through the veils of time and essentially made it as if I've never played any of the dozen-plus PS2/3 games I own over the course of several years. So now my playing of videogames has been made all the more a retroactive waste of time by the fact that I have next to nothing to show for all the hours I really should've been doing something more productive with my life.

Yeah, I guess... But it's like losing a photo album in a fire. The memories are still there, but there's something to be said for posterity, right?

Truth be told, aside from the admittedly silly interest in keeping old save files I'll never play again, the majority of my games were either ones I had beaten the story modes of (Darksiders, etc.), or was stuck on to the point that I didn't give a [darn] if I finished them (Mirror's Edge) or would probably start all over again on because of how little I was invested in the first place (Dragon Quest VIII). However, my brother's especially broken up over it, because he spent several months making a series of LittleBigPlanet levels dedicated to all the in-jokes my friends and I used to have, levels for which we bought a PS Eye just to get their pictures into it (and what's more, he lost the first in-joke level to the last crash we had--or un-crash, rather, as I somehow got my data back at the time). But of course, there's the games like Portal 2 (we hadn't finished co-op), or extra re-plays in God of War III. I've considered save states and GameSharks or something to at least create the illusion of progress, but it won't be personal...

Well, I'll pay for the new hard drive. It's my fault for running it so long and not backing stuff up, anyway.

The crappy combat, that's how. Specifically, that section where you bust out of the van into that green area with all the armed guards.

Two things about the case. First, why does everyone care? What is it about the case that made everyone give even the slightest [darn]?

Because the media knew the case would stir up strong emotions from viewers, and therefore decided to cram it down our throats. This case has been followed especially closely by parents of young children, for obvious reasons. See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_white_woman_syndrome

Quote
Second, the jury found her not guilty after hearing all the testimony and viewing the evidence, it's not anyones place to condemn her because YOU think she's guilty.

A jury also found OJ not guilty. The jurors themselves aren't to blame; rather, jury incompetence brought about by misinformed expectations is. See also: http://www.cspo.org/documents/csieffectheinrick.pdf
(Yes, I'm aware the Simpson trial came long before CSI. However, the phenomenon has been noted under other names such as the "Perry Mason Effect".)

Quote
You think it's a problem with the justice system that she got away with murder, but not with the fact her life is ruined anyway?

The state of her life as a free woman is completely irrelevant to the official justice system. Because she's technically not guilty of murder and therefore not subject to "Son of Sam" laws (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Sam_law), Casey Anthony can, and probably will, capitalize on the killing of her daughter through books and interviews. Once she's made her millions, she'll probably live out the rest of her life in comfort, surrounded by her supporters.

Post by: CoconutMikeNIke on July 06, 2011, 12:29:42 AM
Yes, I'm well aware that plenty of people are comparing this trial to the OJ trial, because there are many very important similarities.  One, there's a dead person.  Two, there's someone that is suspected of a crime and therefore, because innocent people are never arrested, guilty.  Three, it was televised. Four, HANG THEM HANG THEM, because regardless of being found innocent, they're still guilty (this is the part I was referring to by saying her life is ruined, the lynch mob attitude that doesn't care that they were found innocent.  I imagine she will make millions on her story). And that's about it.

On the subject of Sony platforms dying:

I went to play some OutRun 2006 earlier, but my PSP has suddenly stopped reading discs. The drive still spins, but it won't read at all, and nothing I've done seems to work.

Unless this somehow clears up on its own, I basically have three options:
1. Spend about seventeen dollars to get a replacement optical drive and fix it myself. Strongly considering this one because it wouldn't be a difficult fix, my PSP isn't under warranty anyway, and I can still play stuff from memory stick in the meantime.
2. Spend at least $90 on a replacement PSP and go through the hell of transferring PSN stuff over plus having to restart any game that ties saves to hardware. Not happening.
3. Not fix or replace anything and instead go buy more microSD cards and download pirated copies of the twenty-seven UMD games I own. I don't want to do this either, but it'd be preferable to option 2 and possibly faster than option 1.

Great thing to have told to you just before you're about to go to bed, eh?

At the same time? I feel for you, man. Make sure you get vicodin, not stupid ibruprofen. Are you getting put to sleep for it or local anesthesia?
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Turtlekid1 on July 13, 2011, 09:18:25 AM
It'll be local.  They can also sedate me, but apparently I won't get knocked out.  I'm not sure what they'll give me for the pain, but when I went for the consultation, he said I should just try to survive on Aleve or Motrin if at all possible.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Pt_Peach on July 13, 2011, 09:27:16 AM
That sounds rough. I could only afford local and to be honest, its not that bad. Its just the initial numbing shots that get you. 3 on each side.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Turtlekid1 on July 13, 2011, 09:34:01 AM
I actually got a filling last Thursday, and had numbing shots then, too.  To be honest, it wasn't a huge deal.  I'm assuming the anesthetic they give you for getting wisdom teeth out is comparable to that?  Maybe I shouldn't be making that assumption, now that I think of it...
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!

If the office you go to offers it, see if they'll use "Laughing Gas". You'll feel totally relaxed and won't feel anything but pressure in the area where they are working. They will still also give you shots, but again you'll barely feel or be aware of the procedure.

My dentists' office charges 25 bucks for the gas, but it's worth it for me.  :)

I looked up other people's results and they hatched some shinies in eight eggs, and one guy even hatched two shinies in a row. I'm at roughly 400 eggs and still counting.

Took me forever to get a shiny Poliwag that way in HeartGold. When I finally got one I had a box and a half of just Adamant and Modest Poliwags.

I have a small group of other shiny Pokémon that I got by chance, also--predictably, a Golbat and a Golem are among them, but I have a pretty nifty Shellos (yes it is actually the shiny version of the blue one, not this (http://www.awkwardzombie.com/pokes2.png))

Sure, reality television is America's fairly recent degrading time-waster, but I just can't be bothered to sit with the family if everyone in the household is going to watch that trash. I'd rather play Wii games with them at least... we rarely do anything together. Only now is it slightly unnerving me, though it may pass sooner than a few months where I will reside to forget about the whole deal and move on.

Anyways, it turns out that our [dukar]ty internet service provider has equally atrocious customer service. After being put on hold for ages, we were connected to a "friggin' Paki" (as my dad described him) who suggested that we hook my laptop directly up to our modem with a "blue cable". The tech support guy said he'd wait while we attempted to locate said cable, but he had hung up by the time we found it two minutes later.

Post by: ShadowBrain on July 31, 2011, 09:37:25 PM
Actually, I've somehow managed to keep my wisdom teeth so far, although that's likely to change in the future. The removal in question was part of an apparently important process to aid my braces in realigning my teeth, the numbing agent of which caused not only a total lack of feeling in a portion of my cheek, but a permanent itch-like sensation in one place. As such, I ended up habitually scratching it until I actually cut my face--which I didn't feel for a while, of course.

Fahrenheit is better for weather. Celsius is better for science and cooking.
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Luigison on August 03, 2011, 05:33:06 PM
Fahrenheit is not better for anything.  It's based on an outdated measure of salt water.  When making or calibrating thermometers I've always used fresh freezing water and fresh boiling water, and then converted to Fahrenheit if needed.  I'd never try to make a Fahrenheit thermometer based on an exact salinity of water.  As a chemist I prefer Celsius, but as a Physicist I prefer Kelvin. 

"Since the weather is international in scope, countries have treaties and agreements to share weather data such as soundings.  One of the conventions of the agreements is that temperatures aloft are measured using the Celsius scale.  The United States is virtually alone in our continued use of Fahrenheit degrees, but  American meteorologists do follow the Celsius convention for upper air temperatures."
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: CrossEyed7 on August 03, 2011, 10:05:55 PM
Celsius sounds stupid for weather. With American measurements, you know that 100 is a big [darn] number when you're talking about speed or temperature, and the closer you are to 100, the closer you are to too much. 104 degrees is too hot. 80 degrees is pretty hot. 50 or 60 is right in the middle. 30 or 40 is cold. Driving 50 miles an hour is normal. Driving 80 miles an hour is fast. Driving 30 miles an hour is slow.

75 mph is 120 kph, so that's not too bad. That's still a nice even number for the highest you're going to be going in most applications.

With Celsius, 37 degrees is really hot, and a negative temperature might only be jacket weather. It also has less precision -- Farenheit has 180 degrees between freezing and boiling water, while Celsius only has 100.

In other applications, preferring Imperial over Metric is just opinion, but when talking about weather, Imperial is objectively better.

See, here's the funny thing -- Fahrenheit is better for weather because when talking about weather temperatures, Fahrenheit is centigrade. Celsius has 100 degrees between freezing and boiling, but the majority of that hundred is never going to be used by weathermen; Fahrenheit just happens to work out perfectly to have a 100-degree range from 0 to 100 of reasonable weather temperatures.

So first of all, the HOPEFUL news: PAX was pretty fun. I mean, I forgot the expo floors closed at six, and everything somehow seemed to go by a lot faster than the first year I went, but I still got an autographed copy of the new MC Frontalot album, a used copy of Uncharted, and some quality photos--plus a chance to hang out with my best friend, who got a job as an Enforcer. And now, the ANGST news, told the only way I know how to tell this kind of story...

>Decide to cosplay at PAX this year
>Spend 30-odd dollars and several months meticulously arranging a costume of Tim from Braid
>Brother decides at basically the last minute to wear his Luigi costume from Halloween 2008
>Nobody seems to recognize me, brother is getting pictures taken with him every five minutes

I know, but I hate to cause people pain. I do like to prevent it..

Moving on sorta: what a terrible weekend. Not only was it..Max's weekend, we all also got sick with a stomach virus that's been going around. I'll spare you the gory details but several trips to the bathroom every day when you have a sick 2 1/2 year old is not fun. Thankfully, the baby stayed relativley healthy throughout the weekend.

And then tonight, after having a pretty normal day, the oldest daughter gets sick apparently while lying there in bed, asleep. This is the craziest stomach virus I have ever seen/experienced. I've only ever seen it make a person sick for around 24 hours, but all of us have had symptoms of it for over 2 days now.

At least Maddie has some medicine we can give her, and the baby has been fine..

My replacement UMD drive for my PSP arrived last night. So I went to install it so I could finally play all those PSP games I own...

Turns out you have to dismantle the entire system to replace that part. Which wasn't that big a deal, so I opened everything up...

I got to the final screw for the UMD drive itself, and couldn't take it out. My screwdriver was stripped and I didn't have another jeweler's screwdriver handy.

My PSP is currently sitting (in pieces) in the Catherine pizza box until I get another screwdriver.

So, I got shipped a second UMD drive. Which wasn't a big deal, as I was just going to send it back...

But then I woke up a few minutes ago and saw I had an email telling me my order was shipped and one saying they had charged me for it.

So now I've been charged for something I didn't order. I did find their returns process, but even though I ordered the item from their US warehouse, the returns address is their Hong Kong address. Unless they tell me I can return it to their US address, it'll cost me more to return the item than it would to just keep the [darn] thing.

Aaaand it seems the initial sixteen dollars for a replacement UMD drive was a waste as well - I got the system put back together today, and it still couldn't read UMDs (though at least it still boots up and plays games from memory stick, which is a step up from when I tried to replace the shell on my old DS).

I'm waiting to see if Sony announces any sort of solution for the Vita's lack of a UMD drive before I decide whether I want to buy another PSP or just pirate all the games I already own (which I'm doing in the meantime anyway).

Wow, actual teen angst being posted in the ANGST thread. That's rare.

I'm a bit irritated about something that's my own fault: the game (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Muchi-Muchi-Pork-Pink-Sweets-Limited-Edition-Xbox-360-/250902438414?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item3a6af3620e) I bought as a birthday present (my parents paid $40 of it) is going to take forever to actually arrive, since I opted for free shipping instead of paying $26 to have it in two weeks.

(The reasons that game cost so much are because it's a limited-edition copy, which includes a two-disc soundtrack containing the new arranged tracks for the home version, and because the game only had one print run. It came out back in February, and there are people on eBay trying to sell used copies of the standard edition for $120, so getting a sealed copy of the LE for $140 shipped isn't too bad in comparison.)

(ShadowBrian, you wouldn't like it despite the cover. Both of the games included are incredibly technical shmups, both designed by Kuromatsu's main man (http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=11866.msg575854#msg575854) Shinobu Yagawa.)

This is going to make it sound like I don't take care of my teeth (since I had a similar procedure done three years ago) but I'm having two more teeth removed due to cavities.

They are cavities that have been known about and the dentist planned on taking care of much sooner, but alot of life has happened since my last visit (I got married, had kids, moved, changed jobs, lost a child..) and she took note of all of it. She's amazed that I'm not in more pain because of my teeth, but the two she wants to remove have only been cold sensitive thus far.

A good friend of mine just decided that he never wants to talk to me again even though I have no idea what I did to him.  All my attempts to try to talk to him have been in vain, as he promptly ignores me.

It's FANTASTIC! The array and beauty of all the hues inherent to the spectrum of visible light is vibrant and energizing! Seeing a lively display of color in tasteful or extravagant extremes can make my day! Film and artwork employ a new dimension of communication and artistry when in conversation with color and enriches the entire experience many times over! I love seeing colors!

Don't forget about what it does for movies, artwork and things that actually are in black and white. A bleak atmosphere, a classical nostalgia, a crisp clean beauty... an abrasive... cow... it's wonderful... I mean, I specifically got regular black and white fuzzy dice for my car because they're nondescript and don't remind you of anything except how cool they are.

But as far as colors go, it's not just the experience, it's the convenience! You know how much time it saves you when your car is the greenest freaking thing in the entire parking lot?

I don't mean for someone to go up to a person they fancy, ask them out, and if they say no, follow them around with a pair of binoculars.

Just be calm, ask the person, and if they say no move on.  Don't make the most difficult part of the relationship the very beginning. And, if they do think you're creepy, so what? It's when the person you're already dating thinks you're creepy you have a problem

Well, I can certainly agree with the "not following them around with binoculars" part, but it's always been my philosophy that if they're worth asking out, then it's going to be pretty difficult to just "move on" just like that.

Mind you, I'm playing Devil's Advocate to an extent here.  I actually agree that people play too many games and that it's better to just be forward.  The problem is that too many people aren't, and to be the first person to step forward is a huge risk.  That's why it's considered hard.

It'll be a lot harder to move on if you keep thinking that. Trust me, I'm pretty much the same way, and 99% of the time it's your own head that'll stop you from moving forward. If you get rejected, fine. Go out and hang out with new people, take up a hobby, whatever. Just do something to keep yourself occupied, and happy, and eventually you'll find yourself over her.

That often scares me about myself, actually, and is another angle on the issue: if I can just "get over it," then what kind of horrible person am I?  I guess it's a natural defense mechanism more than a conscious decision, but I've always found it disconcerting that I can just shrug people off.

So, I found out yesterday that I may be losing my job in a couple of months.

Our client is pulling their entire business out of our building (we've already lost part of it—a good chunk of our site is leaving on Thursday), and if we can't find a new client, everyone's gone on April 13th.

Even if we do get a new client, until April 13th, there's a good chance we're going to be dealing with the same crap the group who's out on Thursday went through: less calls, large amounts of time between calls, people being pulled off the phones to keep the queue time down, people being sent home early for the same reason, and less money for us in general.

Are you suffering from allergies and the beautiful world because you're walking everywhere since your insurance was terminated? XD

(I feel for you. Joking is my defense mechanism)


I have another visit to the dentist tomorrow, to have more teeth pulled (a tooth, anyway). The dentist has tried to rationalize for me and tell me that I have a smaller mouth so getting to trouble areas has been difficult. While I agree (she's never lied to me as far as I know), part of the reason I've had so many problems now is becuase I was a stupid kid that didn't take care of his teeth.

I would go for days without brushing before I was 13 (younger me didn't see the need), then I paid a little more attention and brushed at least once a day. Sometime around 20 I started brushing at least twice a day..

Anyway, take care of your teeth! Otherwise you'll end up with a story like mine.

Why do the tech-savvy always complain about people not knowing the difference between a modem and a router even though we were never taught it in school? My dad doesn't even know what it means to "minimize" a page, and he types capital letters with Caps Lock rather than Shift.

By the way, here's the icon that appears for about two minutes three or four times every hour. What's really frustrating is when a download gets disrupted during those downtimes, as it won't resume once connectivity is restored. Rather, you have to refresh the page and wait for it to load from the beginning.

LD: Presumably such a thing would be government-mandated for the company that's sending jobs overseas, so probably ours. They could even call it an incentive to keep jobs in the country: you don't have to pay to put potential employees through years of education if they live in the US!

Weegee: The difference between manual and automatic transmission and the basic mechanics behind the former aren't taught in school either, but no one I know seems to have a problem with knowing such. The difference here is that cars are cool and computers aren't, so guess which thing people care to learn about?

There are actual lessons for operating a car, and cars weren't created by people with mild Asperger's.

Ever since tech support told us to **** around with our internet, I haven't been able to connect to it with my DS. It keeps giving me Error Code 52000 (can't find IP address), since our IP is "invalid". Rather than being "XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX", it's "XXX.XXX.X.XX".

@Weegee: You could endeavor to give your DS a Static IP, and/or you might want to make sure that your Wifi is set up in a DS friendly fasion -- though im sure you have probably already tried some of that, in which case this advice is utterly Meaningless..

Since I take it that we are allowed to complain about anything here, without consequence...

I disprove of the human condition, overall; I think that society as a whole could cooperate and do much better and to that effect, solve many problems, but personal foolishness gets in the way; and i would argue this is true in every aspect of society, whether it be personal pettiness or corrupt politics, the human race is not on it's game, and there are fellow humans out there who are paying the price for it. *grumbles angrily while waving a cane in a threatening manner*

I also complain about my own personal foolishness in that i allow myself to be irritated by the above complaint and all of the worldly problems it entails; since I have relatively no control over it, I shouldn't care, yet I pay it undue attention, which is rather Stressful Therefore, I am a jerk, and i would like to file a complaint against myself, and I seek legal action against myself for the sum of One Million Dollars.

I am sure i will complain about other things in the future, but for now you can enjoy that one tidbit of dissatisfaction. Or not enjoy it. Do whatever you want. Just don't act unjustly upon a fellow human. Or i will complain about it.

That was my situation about 75% of the time with HughesNet.

The problem isn't dynamic IP assignment by itself. It's that combined with a very small range of available IPs. With HughesNet, a good number of the available IPs were banned from 4chan, often for things like CP or proxy use.

The issues with your Nintendo devices are probably unrelated.

Post by: WarpRattler on May 07, 2012, 12:21:08 AM
The fun thing with HughesNet is, multiple people often get assigned the same IP at the same time. I had the opportunity to file a ban appeal on 4chan once, but when I went to do so, I found someone else had already done so. I went ahead and added my thing nonetheless, confirming the other person's story; when I checked back later, I found three other people had added to the appeal.

I have no idea if anything was ever done, because my IP changed again at some point. Was still crazy to see HughesNet's system hurting multiple users at once that way, though.

(This should never be an issue on my current Internet connection, because we pay extra for an ISP-side static IP. This is so that DCC send and receive in IRC work, and so that I have open NAT for Xbox LIVE.)

I really hate electrical storms.

The Internet is down, my standard monitor isn't accepting input from my desktop on the DVI port, and my netbook's AC adapter seems to be fried.

Thankfully, my phone gets Internet, so I can post this, but we have no idea when the main network will be back up. I also had a spare monitor available, so my desktop is functional, but with a much smaller screen; my PS3 and 360 are fine and can both use HDMI on the larger monitor, so that's not entirely worthless. No idea how much a new AC adapter for the netbook will cost, and I really don't feel like dealing with my phone more than I have to, so I won't bother looking until I have proper Internet again.

On that note, I'll probably be gone until our service is back.

Pictures taken with my 3DS camera.  I didn't add audio to the video, but many images have text captions.  I also did not include pictures from the basement since our policy does not include flood insurance.  I have the images from the video and their 3D counter parts if you'd like to see them.

My mom used my car to drive to Montana and back. I was sort-of-okay with that. My car's 21 years old, has well over 300,000 miles, and I was a little worried that it would just stop working. So basically, I reluctantly let her use it. Then this morning, she got hit by a person who ran a stop sign. With my three sisters in the car. Fortunately, everyone's okay. One of my sisters has some bruised ribs, but that's it. Unfortunately, I don't have a car anymore. It's totaled. The person who hit it has very good insurance, I'm told, but I'm a little worried that great insurance won't do much for a car that is 21 years old and has well over 300,000 miles on it. It would be nice if I can get enough money from it to get a new car, but that doesn't seem likely. That's a problem, because I have a job that's an hour away from my house, and a school that's four hours away. I'm not exactly gonna walk either of those trips.

I have some reassurance in regards to someone asking me to borrow my Jeep.

Now for my ANGST:  I have created a gaming addict.  My five-year-old* daughter wants to play or watch me play a game like Plants Vs. Zombies, Kirby's Epic Yarn, or SMW everyday.  She even got mad yesterday because I couldn't recall what game she had played a long time ago that had a bunny in it.  That game turned out to be Jump Start Reading for Kindergarten.  She also enjoys online games like http://www.jumpstart.com and www.mathblaster.com, but the point is she is addicted to gaming.  What have I done?!

*She will be six tomorrow. 

In other ANGST:  She just went to log in to play Math Blaster and I noticed that the home page was Bing.  [darnit] Microsoft!  Stop changing my default search engine.

I've always thought that responding to ignorance/immaturity with blatant sarcasm/condescension takes all the fun out of being superior to others.  It's all about treating everyone with respect and then silently feeling really smart.  Isn't it?

My angst: Well, I just moved home from college (finally), and I've got to start looking for jobs across the country because I want to move to a place with good improvisational theatre programs.  Finding jobs in other locations is proving to be kind of difficult.  Or perhaps I just lack motivation to get it done quickly.  Either way, I have to do stuff!

I bought it some time last year before winter (Edit: No, wait, I think it was actually early this year). And wow it was a really great controller, that d-pad was amazing, I started doing some MvC3 combos reliably and it was just better than what I had before all around.

But two days ago the D-pad fell off. I'd noticed the silvery coating was flaking off in a sort of rounded square in the center... and then that became a hole in the plus. The rest of the plus fell off and the center stayed, apparently being the only thing actually attached to the thing. Was I too hard on it or what? This just isn't something that should happen to a controller no matter how much you use it, I don't think. So I'm upset that it did. And apparently this is not an isolated incident.

I've sent for one of these bad boys now...

but I better like it and it better not suck 'cause it's all I'm gonna have for a while. My original controller's left stick is stupid and, well, there's the thing I just talked about. The newer ones have reportedly fixed some issues the older ones had and people seem to like it. So...

If it doesn't suck it'll be perfect for N64 emulation mmmmmmmm.

Post by: Luigison on September 27, 2012, 05:20:10 PM
Good luck with the controller.  I use a standard wired 360 controller for PC mostly now, but still don't care for the d-pad.  Since I moved I haven't been able to find my SNES USB controller from Club Nintendo and never got my Wii Classic Controller to work right on PC. 

Your post reminded me of my recent discovery that the analog stick between the GCN, Classic Controller Pro, and Nunchuck are all interchangeable.

Based on that I don't consider HORI third party.

Also, HORI's N64 controller is better than Nintendo's original.  I went through several analog sticks on Nintendo's N64 controller, but never had problems with HORI's controller outside of the d-pad which sucked on both controllers.

I had to learn the hard way not to put more trust in my friends than in myself.  I threw out my back because of the stress involved in making her happy.  Thankfully, we parted ways and I went to see a counselor.

So I dusted off my Snes recently, and all my old games seem to work! Huzzah!

But! Yoshi's Island seems to have a couple of glitches that weren't present the last time I played..

Sometimes when collecting coins, Yoshi will act like he hit his head on a harmless celeing and then fall out of the sky, or sometimes be pushed through the floor if the coin was level with the ground. (just the coins that are floating in the levels, not the ones produced from enemies being hit with yellow eggs)

There have been a couple of times when the sprites completely disappear from the screen. I am not sure what the cause of this is, but it can usually be fixed by backtracking in the level and then going back to the area where they disappeared.

Now for the big one: I started a new file, and am stuck in World 1-6. Every time I go into the secret tunnel with the Mole Tank transformation, I can move Tank Yoshi over to the edge of the dig-able dirt, and then one of three things happen..

- the game freezes, but the cave music still plays

- the game goes to a black screen, but the cave music still plays

- the game boots back to the title screen, as if the reset button has been hit

I checked that level in my other two files, and it happens in those two files too.

I've cleaned the connectors on both the pak and the system, so it can't be that. I guess YI is just suffering from old age (come to think of it, it was used when I bought it..)

Sorry to double post (for some reason I can't edit right now..)

My paternal grandmother passed away earlier this evening. She'd been in hospice care for just over a week now, and hadn't been in her right mind for..longer than that (she did have Alzhimeir's pretty severly), but she got to meet both of my girls (I don't think she got to meet Max; she's holding him now, I bet..) and was just a generally good woman..

Funny things to miss about her: her pounding on the kitchen window to chase the squirrels away from the birdfeeders, and her homemade Ginger Snaps (the woman made some darn good Ginger Snaps).

A few days ago the second person from my graduation class of 2008 has died.  Both were this year, and both were by their own hands.  They decided to hang themselves.  Neither of them had any relations to each other, other than knowing each other.  I just can't believe it.  They were both weren't bad kids in any aspect.  The thing I don't understand is that I've been to some pretty dark places, in fact scratch that, extremely dark.  I can't imagine their's being any darker.  I guess the first one did it because he saw an ex-girlfriend at a bar with some other dude.  He left behind a 3 year old daughter.  Now the only thing I can think about is how that little girl is going to grow up knowing her dad killed himself, and that she wasn't good enough to live for.

Not that I'm aware of. The admin says PayPal suspended his account due to an obscure ToS violation, so someone will have to pick up the reins before the next hosting payment becomes due this week. He also admitted he was getting tired of running the Archive with so much else on his plate.

Perhaps "obscure" wasn't the right word.

Quote from: Capsized
i'm really sorry to come to you with bad news today, but yesterday paypal has decided to 'permamanently limit' my account because they found out i've used to receive funds generated by this site and that is against their tos. also permanently limited is paypal term for 'we perma b& u and your family as long as you live under the same address and try to register another account evar again'. so yeah, that sucks and i'm a teeny bit butthurt, but whatever. can't pretend i didn't see that coming.

quoik faq tl;dr style:
what does this mean for chanarchive?
- can't pay the next server invoice due this coming friday.

can't you save the site somehow?
- well, here is the thing... do i really, really want to? together with some personal [dukar] going down at the moment, i seriously have no motivation jumping though hoops and ****ing loops to run this site anymore. on th contrary, i'm a bit relieved to be released (albeit forcefully) from this burden.

is there really nothing that could be done?
- well, there is a way to redirect the ad revenue to paxum and get a master card from them and pay the servers that way. but issuing that card would take a month and with the site going down presumably next weekend, we'd still be facing several weeks downtime.

is there really, really, really nothing that can be done?
- well, i'm ready to give the source code of the site and all the content to someone who wants to continue running it. main requirement is that you absolutely need to have ruby on rails knowledge in order to run this [dukar] and need to be ready to put some time in this. i'll even be willing to give a financial headstart, so feel free spread this message and interested folks can contact me at capsized@chanarchive.org.

really sorry that it had to come to this and it doesn't feel good to throw away a project that i've worked on for so many years.
thanks go to all the volunteers, too many to list them all, who actually made it possible to run this site.

thank you all for an amazing time.

In similarly lame news, I must now go outside every weekend and leave my room for most of the afternoon (i.e. when I'm not sleeping/at school) to "build up social skills", nevermind that I'm supposed to build social skills by talking to my mom, her boyfriend, and a five year old.

I remember when I was in high school.  My older sister would always ask me what my plans were for college, and I would half-jokingly respond that I figured I would have died by the time I was eighteen.  I wasn't suicidal, I just had no aspirations or hope for the future.  It wasn't until I got to college that I was able to discover new ideas and social events that allowed me to better understand what I want and who I am.

"People" are a mixed bag: some of them are pretty good, and some of them are very unlikable.  Just remember Brentilda in Banjo-Kazooie: you can gain vital information to beat the game by interacting with her on a regular basis.  Likewise, your health with remain intact if you avoid interacting with enemies: if you cannot avoid them, you must use the skills you've learned from others (Bottles) to assert yourself and confront the issue.  And if you collect tokens for Shamans, they'll turn you into magical creatures.  Wait, what was I talking about again?

That's some sage advice, Markio. I'll keep that in mind.

In other news, a transsexual (and pansexual) person I know is potentially being sent to one of those places that "fix" your sexual orientation. His (This person is biologically female, but identifies as male, and wishes to get a sex change when he's older.) mom has basically disowned him, is always yelling at him for his gender identity and sexual orientation, and, in the word of my friend, was sent to a "doctor" who was trying to say, in short, "Hey. You're a girl. Start acting like it." It makes me extremely angry to see someone who can't even appreciate the flesh and blood they spent hours giving birth to just because of they might like someone of their own sex, or doesn't feel like they're really a boy/girl.

Safe Spaces are like voluntary sensitivity trainings where college students can learn how to be more inclusive and respectful of LGBT people.  It can be difficult to determine which pronouns to use (he,she,xe; him,her,hir) to refer to a transgender person, as they may not be out as transgender in public or they may not look transgender.  It's typically considered polite to try and learn which pronouns a transgender person prefers, although it can be difficult to bring up if you're uncertain about a person's gender identity.  I guess it relates to the earlier angst about TheMightyThor's transgender friend because it has to do with transgender issues.

I recently blocked this transgender girl on facebook because I was getting sick of her insufferable comments.  She wasn't a very good listener/reader: she would post sympathetic responses to people who weren't asking for sympathy in the first place.  It was like she was failing to properly demonstrate that she genuinely cared about people.

Also bothering me recently, it was my second day at work and this coworker got mad at me because I accidentally clicked the wrong thing on the register and wasn't able to undo the action, and he didn't like how I asked him for help after messing it up.  Why would I ask him for help before accidentally doing something incorrectly??  He later admitted he was having a long week and apologized for his harsh tone earlier, but I still don't feel comfortable asking him questions.  I'm still new and feeling vulnerable in this new environment, and I don't want to face his impatience or frustration, which seems to arise whenever I need help learning something new.

This reminds me of something WarpRattler led me to (http://www.raspberrypi.org/about) back in July. Excerpted from the site:

"The idea behind a tiny and cheap computer for kids came in 2006, when Eben Upton and his colleagues at the University of Cambridge’s Computer Laboratory, including Rob Mullins, Jack Lang and Alan Mycroft, became concerned about the year-on-year decline in the numbers and skills levels of the A Level students applying to read Computer Science in each academic year. From a situation in the 1990s where most of the kids applying were coming to interview as experienced hobbyist programmers, the landscape in the 2000s was very different; a typical applicant might only have done a little web design.

Something had changed the way kids were interacting with computers. A number of problems were identified: the colonisation of the ICT curriculum with lessons on using Word and Excel, or writing webpages; the end of the dot-com boom; and the rise of the home PC and games console to replace the Amigas, BBC Micros, Spectrum ZX and Commodore 64 machines that people of an earlier generation learned to program on.

There isn’t much any small group of people can do to address problems like an inadequate school curriculum or the end of a financial bubble. But we felt that we could try to do something about the situation where computers had become so expensive and arcane that programming experimentation on them had to be forbidden by parents; and to find a platform that, like those old home computers, could boot into a programming environment."

This describes my childhood experience with computers (and their programming) to a tittle. I've known people who grew up with Commodore 64s in the 1970s and 1980s that ended up being great computer programmers and engineers. Though I'm usually able to learn enough to get by, I do still envy them at times and feel as though not having the right skill sets has cost (and will probably continue to cost) me job opportunities.

Cheers to all the teachers who encourage making mistakes, so long as students learn from them.

I've really had it with this job.  It's very stressful to start a new job in a new environment with no real prior experience, and without much emotional support from friends (who are far away) or family (who are either far away, died, or lack adequate listening skills).  The same guy I had mentioned before is sometimes OK, but then in busy, crowded situations where I make a mistake he reacts like I'm a total idiot.  It's certainly not an encouraging response to get from a coworker.  It makes me feel like quitting, which I don't want to do because I need the money and because I don't want to let one guy control my whole outlook toward this job.

During my last shift I spent my break crying behind the building.  Toward the end of the day this one female coworker said to me suddenly, "I like you, I don't want you to leave."  That made me sad, because part of me feels like I'm just nervous for being new and I'm letting this one jerk outweigh all the nice people I work with.  I know that if his criticism persists, I'm going to have to say something to him.  Confronting people about hurting my feelings is the hardest thing for me to do, because I'm Catholic and was taught that my feelings aren't as important as making everyone else happy, which I understand cognitively to be a totally stupid idea.  If I don't say anything, he'll continue to be rude.

And for the record, I was expecting at least one other gay guy to be working at a coffee shop.  Nope, I'm the token gay barista!  All the other guys just talk about fantasy football!  I really miss my friends...

As I've said before, this game's predecessor is among my favourite RPGs ever. Strange how this one's outlook for an international release seems dim (http://kotaku.com/5969398/hey-square-enix-where-the-hell-is-bravely-default), especially considering a sequel is already being considered due to its popularity in Japan.

They don't even need to call it Final Fantasy; it's a JRPG on a handheld, so most people who would actually be interested in it already know about it with the proper name.

While we're at it, the Vita port of Fate/stay night could stand to come out in English, since Aksys already has the series licensing in place from Fate/EXTRA, and it's the sort of game that'd do decently as a digital-only release in the west (as much as I'd hate not having an actual physical copy of it, I could deal since I already own an import copy on PS2 (http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=9327.msg584736#msg584736)). With fanbases for games like Ace Attorney being what they are, and when another recent visual novel, Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward, can get on GotY lists from major publications like Game Informer, I think it's safe to say the "this genre doesn't exist in the west" excuse is shot.

Well, I'm sick now, and it's like nothing I've ever experienced before. It's a devilishly sadistic thing that has put me in a permanent state of vertigo. It's amazing how important the human sense of balance is, really. Any attempt to leave my bed or even raise my head threatens me with nausea.

That's kinda... weird. My ex was my best friend, but I ignored everything bad about her (which honestly, leaves little in the hollow shell of her personality); turns out I was just blinded by the idea that she was the one to the point where I didn't realize she was actually a terrible person. Still, after a break-up, you can do pretty much whatever you want (within reason), but actively doing something entirely to spite your ex is a pretty childish move. I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but be glad you can see things like that clearly now. Flaws like that can't (scratch that, shouldn't) be ignored, so it's not like it's healthy to fall back on (if that were ever in the realm of possibility). I really don't want to come off a jerk here (because I've been there), so I'll just apologize in advance if I sound like one.

I hate to post bad news similar to when we lost our son, but... the short version is that we lost our baby. The one we were expecting when I posted in the Hopeful Thread a few months ago. It started out as a home birth, with a midwife friend of ours there for support and such.. We went to the hospital late Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning after many hours of labor and because my wife's contractions seemed to have..stopped..

We're home from the hospital now.


That's all I'll say here. If you want to know details, you can PM me.

We're doing ok, by the way. Relatively so, given circumstances.

Post by: Insane Steve on April 06, 2013, 12:34:48 AM
Alright, so the place I work is transitioning to a new system for grading online exams. I learn a couple days ago that I've been re-assigned as the lead instructor for a pre-calculus course, when I was intended to be the back-up to one of the more senior instructors.

To prepare for this duty, I decide to take some of the exams blind to make sure I actually remember how to do all the stuff in the course. It's mildly unsettling when I get a B on the second exam in the course.

I look over the two problems I got wrong, and it turns out that, no, I'm prettttttttty sure I knew how to do those things. I had a hard time getting up that day so I was a bit tired... who knows, I might be delirious and just may be bad at math today. I throw the necessary equations in Wolfram Alpha and discover that, no, I'm not too tired to do math, it's just the tests are written by drunk MBAs who forgot how to do pre-calc because, you know, that's the sort of thing you don't need to remember how to do when daddy has a job writing exam problems lined up for you out of college. I mean, how hard can math be it's not like anyone's ever held back in high school because they can't do it or anything sheesh

I then learn that, because of the way the hierarchy of the online exam program works, as a not-exactly-senior member of the instructional staff I don't have privileges to open the exam question bank and fix the problems. In fact, only one math instructor has these rights. I bring up my discovery to her today.

She laughs and tells many stories about how the last online grading program (owned by the same company, incidentally) had a calculus course where, initially, roughly 1/4th the questions were flawed, and the support for the site absolutely did not care when informed about this. The best story is when she called the company and was told about the company's vaunted "97% accuracy in writing questions" - which is hunky-dory for those who haven't heard of the binomial distribution, but when you consider that on a 25 question exam,  there is a less than 1/2 chance that a student will not get any flawed problems, is sort of a big deal. We bring this up to the person assigned to dealing with this firm. She also laughs. Much disparaging conversation ensues, mainly involving alcohol and the merits of drawing eyes on a parabola as a mnemonic for remembering if the coefficient of the x^2 term is positive or negative (if it looks like the graph is smiling, it has a positive attitude and opens up, and if it looks sad, it's being negative and opens down. Ah ha ha ha!).

My job duties for the rest of the day involve taking more tests and writing down all the problems with wrong answers, which are disturbingly common (yea, change the base of that problem on logarithms mid-problem from 10 in the problem to e in the "right" answer and see if I notice). It depresses me to think of a average high school student who isn't amazing at nor cares about math doing a difficult problem right, having it marked wrong anyways, and suddenly doubting their abilities.

But I mean it's not like we have a staff of people who are fully capable of writing their own math problems for tests or anything. It's, of course, far better to outsource this duty to a company with a proven track record of incompetence.

For those of you on these boards years younger than I... yes, this is pretty much a perfect anecdote to describe how the real world works.

My aunts in the bay area wanted my dad to knock a wall out between a downstairs room and a garage in their house, apparently so they could rent it out as living space. He drives the hours there from here, along with my mom on Friday. They pull up to the house and the gate is locked; not that the house if far away from it. Their dog barks, and from the upstairs front door, one of them lets the dog in.

"Hey," says my mother. It is an informal American greeting. "Hey," replies the aunt. Lets the dog in... never comes back.

My parents call the both of them and get no answers. So they check into a Motel 6 for a 70-dollar night.

Apparently there was a miscommunication and not only is this an acceptable thing to do to someone related to you visiting to do you a favor (albeit a paid one), it's my dad's fault for telling them he'd be there Saturday. It's Saturday now, but it's not happening. My folks are on their way home, and not because my dad's now refusing to do the job. So next time you get company a day earlier than expected, just say "**** off" and slam the door.

I don't know what went wrong between us and them but this isn't the first inexplicably [dukar]ty thing they've done in the last three or four years and I'm not sure I ever want to see them again.

I am a cashier, and try to keep as open a mind as possible,  but sometimes..



I had this woman in an electric cart come through last night. She talked about having back surgery because she had curvature of the spine, then she went on to say that I should look into back surgery because I *very obviously* needed it. (note: I do have some scoliosis, but still)

 If I hadn't already finished checking her out and she was on her way, I would have stopped right then and had someone else to finish up for me.

I think she did the right thing, but in the wrong way.  Had she be tactful her advice might have been better perceived.  Regardless, I think we need more honest discussion of health and medical issues. 

I grew up in the South where such discussion rarely happens.  My wife and I have had family members that may have lived longer happier lives if the rest of the family would have shared health/medical info.  Instead they wait until someone dies to say something like, "Aunt Jennie and Grandma Martha also died of breast cancer."  Having shared that years earlier may have saved a life.  Same thing for prostate problems in my family.  If I hadn't discussed my genetic results my family would never have told me other family members had such problems.

I dunno, he's kind of got a point, dark tones and cynical futures have been very present in more than one medium since the 90s or so.  Watchmen kind of inaugurated them and as good as that was, most of its spawn does not deserve to be put on the same pedestal.

Particularly, the problem with The Hunger Games is, I think, that Ms. Collins just kind of ran out of steam after executing the initial premise; the sequels - especially the latter one - just feel very meandery and overstuffed with political overthinking.  The kind that comes off as a juvenile but failed attempt to be deep.  The franchise is entertaining in its own way and I'll certainly be in line to see the next film but overall I'd say there are better sources of meaning out there in fiction.

That's a different problem altogether.  I can see the literary and financial reasons they are doing it, but still don't care for most of the results. 

Fight Club has dystopian and romantic elements, but I doubt many would categorize it completely as either.  The reason I bring it up is that the fighting club was not central to the story in the writer's point of view, but merely the easiest vehicle he could use to tell the story.  Similarly, Twilight isn't a vampire story (based on what little I know about it).

Alright, I seriously HATE canker sores.

Right now, I have 2. The one on my bottom right lip doesn't bother me all that much since it's going away but the one on my top lip hurts like a [female dog] to the point where I can't even open my mouth without it hurting. And if that wasn't bad enough, I have 2 cuts on my tongue and some of my teeth ache. [Probably from my habit of grinding them.]

I tried salting it but it didn't do anything, only made it worse if anything. I seem to be prone to getting the [darn]ed things... All I can do is hope tomorrow it'll go away, or at least be less painful.

I don't really care as much about it. The cutscenes were amusing, but beyond seeing them in Brawl, I don't find it necessary. Plus, I don't think anyone knows what they'll have in place of the features they're taking out; it's not like they can be lazy with it after Brawl and Melee.

Although I understand your angst is for other reasons.

Sakurai is excluding story mode because it got spoilt on the internet? I realise that's most likely not the only reason but geez that's [dukar]ty reasoning.

I'm seeing an unfortunate tendency for Nintendo to blame the internet for pretty much everything. First the YouTube LP thing, now this. Great way to **** off pretty much everyone.

Awful animation for characters' faces. Enough of the cast recycles their voice clips from Melee to bug me. The assist characters probably didn't have to look like they belonged on the Nintendo 64. And, so much of so many stages being recycled GameCube models and textures. That last one does bother me that much, yes.

It's debateable but Brawl does have a certain screwloose style of unpolished gameplay, with hilariously bad balance, a snail's pace, and dodging being so brokenly reliable that it completely stops any flow the game could have had... I denied it for a long while because I liked the new characters, but Brawl is kinda lame. Project M's tweaks do ultimately give it a more finished, less sloppy, somehow more professional feel, with the player having a significantly greater degree of control over their character. Although Sakurai has more or less said they don't give even a single crap about anything that sounds even a little competitive.

Basically, imagine, what if the effort put into Snake's Codec calls was applied to everything?

When you're known as a relaxed, easygoing person who is just okay with everything, you feel like you're not even allowed to show it when something insignificant is actually bothering you. 'Cause if you do, people who know you will freak out about it and say things like "what's your problem" or "what crawled up your ass" (if people still say that anymore. It's just the first thing that comes to mind and conveys what I mean). There is a sub-episode (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53FkMK20aCg) of Cromartie High School that touches on this exact thing. It's not like I'm going to go on a rampage or be bitter forever or anything, or that just because this little thing that bothers me when most don't makes this specific thing the end of the world for me. It's also not like the specific thing that is bugging me is actually not what's bugging me--it is--it's not some greater, unexplainable bad mood or really horrible thing I'm taking out on something less horrible, and just waiting for me to wake up on the right side of the bed isn't it.

All that being said, the thing that's bothering me is kinda personal and insignificant and hard to bring up because it's something somebody else is doing. And I can deal with it. Really. What I'm complaining about in this post is the feeling that anytime I have something like this, I feel like nobody wants to really understand it because it's not like me.

No, no, what you've got is the insider's disillusion. What appeared to be a satisfactory game is, under the hood, a sloppy nightmare that was overhyped, and we all bought the hype, back in the days we couldn't wait to see what the developer's blog would post next. The problem isn't our view of you, I'll bet, it's our view of the game. Few have tried to vindicate the game, tweak it into something playable or interesting, as much as you have.

This seems very much like how my brief fling with fansubbing turned me off to a bunch of Japan-made garbage many-an-internet-type soaks up. You've been turned off to Brawl by tinkering with it. We're still comfortable with its surface value.

You should do whatever makes you the happiest. Don't feel like you have to contribute to the blog as often as you do if it's not what you want to do. Although, I think it is, and you want some acknowledgement for it. You're really passionate about Mario and I think some people feel like they're too cool to go along with it. Putting a lot of time and energy into something and having it shrugged off or ignored is a bitter pill to swallow, and one you never really get completely used to and accept even if you're taking one every week. But it's part of having any passion about anything at all. I find some of your posts interesting and they're certainly not bothering anybody, but I don't always have something to say about them either. Sorry. So what I would say is the generic "keep up the good work," but do so at whatever speed you feel like.

Or if you're referring to this specific exchange (http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=14436.0), I think it was a misunderstanding and Toad means he wasn't impressed with the rock opera itself. He wouldn't go and insult you like that.

Most people want someone to connect with romantically, but you're only making things harder by complaining and getting depressed about it. Simply for the fact that it's a huge turnoff.

Just be happy by yourself for the time being, nothing feels better than being able to admit you can enjoy your own company. Not to mention potential partners won't perceive you as needing them to be happy (being overly dependent is another big turnoff).

The left side of my left wrist (looking at the back of the hand) hurts so darn much, just started hurting all of a sudden last night and hasn't stopped (it hasn't been constant, the pain will oscillate from very mildly uncomfortable to oh god is this the arthritis). The bump of that bone in the wrist is either moving around a little or is swelling and then shrinking over and over. Make a splint kind of thing so i don't move it around, which seems to keep it from hurting at all really.

Why do some many people and websites use the word hipster like it's a new thing?  I remember hearing the word from one of my high school teachers (way back in the 80's) discussing other terms like beatniks.  Maybe it was a different generation... 30's or 40's... I don't recall), but it was far from recent.  The first time I recall hearing the term in a non-school popular medium was on an album (I forget if I had the tape or CD) by Dada.  I think that was in the early 90's, but the exact date or even decade isn't the point...  Hipsters and the antithesis; the unhip, existed long before this decade.

I think it's the application of it that's shifted it into greater relevance--that is, first as a label for people who simultaneously enjoy ear gauges, Animal Collective, and anachronistic facial hair, then as a catch-all way to mock people who like something you consider obscure (and that maybe has its logo written in faux-ballpoint pen). An apolitical evolution of calling someone a communist, it sometimes seems.

That's so stupid. That's like shutting down all of the internet because some people use it for piracy.

Y'know what else is stupid? Knowing that being an adolescent, I probably couldn't possibly know what love really is...and still getting bummed out about what I think is love anyways. It sure does suck when you think the one who has feelings for likes you...and then you find out that you were screwed before you even started. I'm pretty sure I know who it is she likes, too, so every time I see them talk I get to die a little inside. I wish I could get over this knowing that there are people with worse problems...I feel like I'm trapped in a catch 22. Every time I talk to her, I get false hope that I know is for nothing in the end anyways, yet I can't help myself from thinking that she just might finally like me. So talking to her hurts me. But when I tried not talking to her for a few days, I got really sad and lonely and missed her, and she ended up striking up conversation with me anyways, so I just kinda threw that plan out the window for a while. (By the way, she lives in a country in northern Europe. I know that internet relationships are supposed to never work out, but two good friends of mine are in a really really great relationship, and they have yet to meet each other in real life. Maybe it's the maturity of adulthood that makes long distance relationships supposedly impossible. I used to see them be all lovey-dovey and think "Aw, that's so cute! I'm really happy for [friend's name]." But lately I see them talking and I just feel like crying.

Screw being a whiny teenager that can't shut up while other people are having real problems.

Finding love is like getting a blue shell in Mario Kart. It's rare and wonderful, and you might think that you'll never see it, but it has its way of finding its way to you, even when you feel like you're at your worst.

And, of course, if you get ahead of yourself, it'll blow up on you. :P

EDIT: Okay, I've kinda sorta gotten over this now so I'll condense it into bearable teenage bull[dukar] drama form. Basically, last night this girl who I thought was a pretty good person revealed that she'd been cheating on her boyfriend with this "alpha" ******bag that knew she had a boyfriend and didn't care because "He doesn't respect him". He's a piece of [dukar] but I don't know if I fully convinced her to cut all ties with him, although that's what I want her to do (and I know that she's at least partially done that). I was really beaten up about it just from feeling bad for her boyfriend, who doesn't know all this is going on, and I woke up today sick to my stomach and feeling like crying just from remembering the situation. I lost all hope in love and friendship for a while, though I'm much better now. Still, though...[darn], this situation ****ing sucks. I can't exactly "hate" her, because in any other context she's a great person. That's why I'm absolutely confounded by all this.

Tch, women. I think I'm gonna give up on girls for now and start trying to go out with guys for a while. And no, Weegee, dumping her dox all over the internet won't make the situation any better.

Agreed. Not all relationships are meant to last, but you owe it to the other person to at least be honest about your feelings. Cheating usually affects how a person views subsequent relationships; speaking from experience, it's typically in a negative light.

And that sucks.

The daughter of one of my high school teachers died a couple days ago. I didn't know her, but her father was one of my favorite teachers, coached the cross-country team, which I was part of, and I would actually consider him a pretty good friend. A little weird for a teacher, I guess, but all the same, the death of this girl who I've never spoken to has hit me harder than the few deaths that have occurred within my own family. I don't really know how to feel about that, and about the whole situation in general. Or rather, I know how I feel, but not really how to articulate it.

Sometimes, the world sucks.

So you may remember that my laptop from 2008 died about a year ago, and since then I've been using my laptop from 2006. Recently I got so fed up with it running so slow that I installed Lubuntu on it. It's been working pretty nice so far, though it took a pretty long time to make my wireless router work with it (I initially wrote "to figure out how to make my wireless router work" but I don't want to use that wording because I don't think I actually learned anything; I copied things into the terminal window and it didn't seem like it was working and then I restarted a few more times and now it usually does work except when it doesn't except now it does for some reason (except now my actual internet connection isn't always working anyway)).

Anyway, for some reason, Chrome (or Chromium, I guess) recently decided not to recognize most of the keys on my keyboard. Page Up and Page Down work, Shift and arrow keys work, Home and End and Enter and all the letters and numbers don't. So I've been having to write things in other text editors and paste them over here.

I'd just been using Leafpad (that's Notepad), but then all of a sudden it started randomly taking my cursor back to the beginning of the line every few characters. So then I started using Abiword (that's Wordpad), and it was annoying because when the text cursor is blinking, it didn't really feel like erasing the cursor after drawing it, so when I moved the cursor around on the screen, it would just all turn black until I put a space in somewhere and it was like "oh, hey, I should redraw these pixels now I guess."

And so I was going to tell bobbysq1337 about how I fixed his link where he had a plus sign where there should have been an equal sign, and then all of a sudden it comes out like this:

YYur  waYur n beYur you Yur plusYur instYur an Yur Yur whaYur

And so I was like "whYur? wYur helYur compYur doinYur?" And I opened up Leafpad again and now it's playing nicely again. And I don't know if it's a problem with a driver or some settings I'm triggering somewhere or even just a physical problem with an 8-year-old laptop with some of its keys missing. I want a new computer.

It sounds like your laptop issues could be due to bad connections with the keyboard.  Here are some guides that might help:  http://repair4laptop.org/notebook.html

This girl liked me (and she only knew me for like a week when she told me) and I tried to convince myself that I liked her so I would know what it feels like to love someone who loves me again. Sometimes I was really convinced that I had feelings for her. Other times, I was more convinced that pursuing her was just me trying to get outta loneliness. Yesterday, I decided it was the latter (and the relationship wouldn't have worked out anyways; I mean, distance is hard enough [most of my friends I interact with through the internet] but due to her schedule and stuff I interacted with her at most like twenty to thirty minutes a day), and I told her that I wanted to be friends with her and that she should (and easily can) find someone better than me.

Now I feel horrible about it, though. I understand there were multiple factors leading to the conclusion that the relationship would have been a horrible idea (Partially motivated by loneliness, distance + scheduling, very sudden and outta nowhere) had I decided to fully date her instead of just doing that weird kinda-sorta dating thing that most couples do shortly before they date each other (Y'know, with the flirting and teasing all the time for a couple days or so), but she's a pretty cool person and I feel like she didn't deserve to have her heart broken like that. I feel like I can't complain about loneliness if I'm going to ruin it for the girls that like me.

How did she take it?

Dad applied for a job in an 8000-person town in southern Ontario, roughly six hours away. There's a good chance he'll get it. Unless my mom and I are really against it, we're moving to the middle of nowhere. Not that I have any real-life friends I'll be leaving behind, but it's still scary. I don't really want to move, but my reasons are so petty and emotional that it seems selfish to object.

I'm 22, and my only two real girlfriends dumped me over the phone during vacation because they realized they only liked me as a friend (2012) and were too emotionally immature to sustain a relationship before moving to New York (2013), respectively. It's not a matter of men and women -- it's just a matter of young people entering adulthood with all the social grace of a dog with a box on his head charging into a crowd (not to say thirty-something always have it together in the relationship game, though).

Kind of weird how I mentioned having a girlfriend for a month in another thread, and then a few days later, it turns out she was cheating on me with a guy AND a girl that she told me wasn't gay and was just "really affectionate." Neither of whom had any idea about each other's relationships, of course. I'm not that hurt, though. It's not like I miss her; she did cheat on me, after all.

I'm an easily sad and bruised kind of guy, the girl was having troubles finding a place to stay and seemed like a pretty "soft" type of person, and the guy was diagnosed with clinical depression, so she really just manipulated emotionally fragile people. Truly the worst type of person.

Just kidding. She gave me an explanation and she claims she didn't want to reject anyone because that's her biggest fear (which she's said to me before), but uh, isn't lying to people behind their backs way worse than rejecting them? Either she's lying or that's some very faulty reasoning.

I didn't really "lose it" over that. I just felt like "eh, she cheated on me, I won't miss her". Much less of an emotional blow than my last breakup, that's for sure.

You just reminded me: My girlfriend in high school had that very same issue with rejecting people when she was in middle school. It resulted in her having three boyfriends and one girlfriend at once.

...In retrospect, I wonder how she didn't manage to drive me completely nuts. :P

I think she may be a pathological liar, considering how much conflicting information the people she cheated on me with have given her about her home life.

Well, it really is a legitimate psychological condition for some people.

Post by: TheMightyThor on August 27, 2014, 01:58:40 PM
I legitimately believe she may be a sufferer of that condition, because of the amount of things she's lied about that no one would have any real reason to lie about.

I no longer have a 3DS!

I'm on a road trip with family right now for Thanksgiving, and I had left my 3DS in the car last night. Unfortunately, it turns out it was in a place where it was able to get crushed between the automated side door and the car body when people opened and closed it to get stuff out. The bottom corner where the battery slot is is now bent at an angle, and I can't get it to power on at all.

The worst part of this isn't that I have to get a replacement 3DS, because I was already going to get a New 3DS when that comes out early next year. No, the biggest problem is that in the past two months, I've bought Theatrhythm Curtain Call, Super Smash Bros., Fantasy Life, Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley, Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, and Persona Q, and now I'm not going to be able to play any of those until the new hardware is out, unless I decide to spend money I don't have on a replacement 3DS now. And that's not even getting into whether or not I can get a system transfer done with the device in the condition it's in!

I wouldn't worry about the system transfer as long as you have a Nintendo Network ID. You can call Nintendo and get a transfer that way. I don't think the save data will stay though.

I only buy retail games (the only non-demo digital titles on my system are the ORAS demo, the free and still unplayed copy of Sakura Samurai I got from Club Nintendo, and Pokémon Battle Trozei), so that's not a problem, aside from system data. The real concern there is losing aaaaaall my StreetPass Plaza stuff. I just hit a thousand unique Miis the other day!

I've been throwing up and [dukar]ting water for the past few days. I've had temperature problems, as well; yesterday, I went from a fever of 101.9 to chills of 95.5. (Fahrenheit, of course.) Would you guys consider those, along with fatigue and a minor runny nose for like two seconds, evidence of the flu? Because you're not supposed to take Pepto-Bismol if you're under 19 and recovering from the flu or you'll get Reye's Syndrome, which is potentially deadly and can cause brain problems. Guess who took Pepto-Bismol, is under 19, and may have had the flu, although I'm not sure that's what it was. I sure hope that's not what it was, if so I might die.

My mom's all like "oh, you'll be fine" and refuses to take me.

But other people in my house are getting stomach problems too, without other flu-like symptoms (plus my cousin who went to medical school said it was more likely I had some stomach thing), so I took more Pepto today. Hope I don't die...

Yeesh. It's probably just a stomach virus, but still.

[darn], man, that's rough -- hold in there! What's this about not being able to take Pepto-Bismol when you have the flu under 19, though? That's totally, disturbingly new to me...

Turns out it was mono, perhaps plus a stomach bug. I was supposed to finally go back to school after missing seven days (would've been ten, because I stayed home two whole weeks, but three of those days were cancelled because of weather), but I was feeling awful this morning to I stayed home today.

I have no idea how I could've gotten mono, though. School water fountains, maybe?

I wish I could've gotten it that way...

And when I came to school, surprise! I had to take the ACT (most states take the SATs as their "big test"). I had no idea that today would be the makeup day...

Sorry guys (http://www.marioboards.com/index.php?topic=31039.msg1694624#msg1694624)

I have to apologize personally too, since I'm the one who posted it here. I wasn't directly involved with its creation, but I really should have thought before posting it.

No biggie.

The circle pad on my 3DS has begun to develop a mind of its own. If I move it up or down, my character will often continue to move in that direction for several seconds after I've taken my thumb off the circle pad. It's also difficult to travel in a straight diagonal line because the circle pad keeps orienting my direction more upward or downward. This makes platformers and other games that require some level of precision almost unplayable because my character will walk off ledges and into enemies.

Guess it's high time to blow 200 bucks on a New 3DS, eh?

Why do I have to dial a "1" before this number?  Why did you spend the time, money, and energy to identify the problem, recorded a message about it, play the message when a customer doesn't dial a "1", and waste everyone's time when it would have been better for everyone to simply recognize when a caller doesn't "dial" the stupid "1" and do it for him/her if needed?

OK, so the only hallway in my house is flooded, my PC's screen is beyond broken, and said PC is stuck in Safe Mode, forcing me to either get a Windows 8 or Windows 10 disc to fix it.
I try not to be wangsty, but ****.

Does it being stuck in safe mode has to do with the flooding?
Title: Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!
Post by: Tavros on July 08, 2015, 02:08:04 PM
No, that has to do with me being an idiot who forgot his password because he used a number to sign on to my computer.
Also the flooding problem seems to be getting better, but we rarely have the water on so I don't really know.

New school year ****ing blows. We moved from five periods to seven, I had a lunch period with my best friend that they changed at the end of the day so now I don't have it with him anymore, none of my teachers are chill (and I have them all year this time!), I have the Spanish teacher notorious for being among the worst teachers in the school, and apparently I accidentally picked the much harder of the two math required senior math classes. And I'd been told throughout all of high school that senior year was the fun year...I feel cheated.

Yeesh, you have my sympathies.
On an unrelated note, in two years my best friend, the only person I can truly claim to love through and through, and decently big reason why I didn't commit suicide when I was really depressed will be moving away.
I know it's two years away but considering how fast the first three years with her have gone by...
