General Chat / What do your parents do?
« on: May 11, 2008, 06:58:05 PM »
While you were in school getting an edumacation, what were your parents doing to give them money?
I'll start with my mother. She took three years of college, and has, most of the time, taken clerical positions for various offices, as well as be a pre-school teacher and a barber, though she is currently unemployed, but my father has plans to change that.
My father, an artist at heart, has been doing advertising for a good while, and has had art director and creative director positions at Ogilvy & Mather, Publishers' Clearing House, and a local mattress dealer, Sleepy's. He has since quit Sleepy's a couple of years back and started his own agency, AdCount. He's got his own office and jointly runs it under the name of AdCount Direct, LLC with a woman in Marketing (her half of the agency is called Direct Drive).
He wants the company to expand into entertainment, though. He's been pitching a dark comedy TV show about an ad agency, and has got a lot of positive reactions from various people, many of them important enough to get the show on the air. He'd like it to appear on one of the movie channels so he'd have more creative freedom with it. My mother's going to have a prominent role in the show, as well.
This is the opening theme of the show.
(If you go on to YouTube and search "AdCount" and you'll see a couple of other videos of this show. The second result should be the opening theme.)
So what do your parents do?

Eh.
Unlike many other series, Mario Kart is the most successful one to test my patience. I yell at the TV screen (or, in the case of MKDS, my DS) when playing a Mario Kart game much more than any other game I play. And with the now frequent occurences of lightning bolts and blue shells and uselessness of fake item boxes as shields for red shells, I may very well yell until my voice becomes hoarse.
You can beat the computer/staff ghosts in time, yes. Doesn't really make you good, though.
Can I beat others? I'm still figuring that out, because since before MKDS, I usually played alone. MK64 was the only MK game I played with someone else, my brother.
Online I've been able to defeat a few other players, strangers and friends (note online I will ALWAYS use the Wiimote + Wheel configuration, provided the batteries stay alive).
Currently, I only unlocked the Mirror mode earlier tonight (I'm going at my own pace, to enjoy the game rather than blow through it in a week) as well as Daisy. (Still not caring to put spoiler tags over secret characters, eh, BP?)
I've still got Mii B, Funky Kong, Baby Player 2, and Dry Bowser to unlock, and I believe the former two will take awhile, as well as a few karts and bikes (I'm not sure how many there are supposed to be for each class, 5 of each for all 3 weights? Or 6?)

I never saw Sudoku on the newspapers my mother used to read. I saw her always doing the crosswords, though.

« on: May 10, 2008, 04:49:15 PM »No, but the ROB from Star Fox is a completely different character, so he was technically never in a game himself until Mario Kart DS.I'm not talking about ROB from Starfox, either.
