So...

[phattonez]

I thought that AGN already had an RPG called Shattered Earth. I don't remember what the currency used in it is though.

I give one Phattonez dollar to every person who supports the use of the Phattonez dollar as the only currency to be used.

[Aegix Drakan]

I believe that Shattered earth uses just plain "Gold"

[Russ]

I believe that Shattered earth uses just plain "Gold"
Let's see here. If Shatterd Earth uses Gold, and Zelda Classic uses Ruppies, AGN's afficial currency should be "Goldpies". :D

[phattonez]

I'd say that it's time for AGN to come into the paper currency era. We need conversion rates! 1 Phattonez dollar = 20,000,000,000 gold.

Don't you hate when eyelashes get stuck so you can't open your eyes all the way?

[Russ]

Don't you hate when eyelashes get stuck so you can't open your eyes all the way?
I can't stand it! It drives me crazy all day.

1 Russadwan dollar = 20,000,000,000 Phattonez dollars. My dollar is obviously the best. Now lets just wait and see what conversion rates Pineconn comes up with...

[phattonez]

1 Rd=20,000,000,000 Pd.
1 Pd=20,000,000,000 g.

20,000,000,000^2 g=1 Rd.

Very interesting. It must be terrible to live in Alunia.

Pd=Phattonez dollar
Rd=Russadwan dollar
g=gold
P'd=Pineconn dollar

[Pineconn]

Dang it, when did my Pineconn Dollars crash? Also, stupid Phattonez Dollars! :banghead:

[Russ]

What did I tell you? You went around giving away Pineconn dollars, and they crashed. And now Russadwan and Amaster dollars are climbing back up.

On a side note, I though we had already established that my dollar is blue. :D

[The_Amaster]

Slow and steady wins the race. While you've all been bickering and deciding, I've just been quietly rising, slowly making my currency the best.
Although Russ seems to have piggybacked me. He's even more devious.

Yes, I know. http://www.purezc.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/icon_superevil.gif (javascript:add_smilie()

[MasterSwordUltima]

Pinecon Dollars all the way. And Shattered Earth uses gold. Also Quest Tokens.

But yo, Pineconn Dollars in SE would be epic. Pretty sure I want to add those now.

[Pineconn]

Doesn't Shattered Earth have to work first for you to do that?

Nice, an official Pineconn Dollar endorsement!

[The_Amaster]

...it has begun...

I predict within three years this will be Pineconneddon Games. Flee now.

[Russ]

...it has begun...

I predict within three years this will be Pineconneddon Games. Flee now.
The way he runs things, Pineconneddon Games won't last half a year. Pineconn Classic will also fail, as will Shattered Pineconn. :D

[phattonez]

In 3 years, MSU will become an admin and ban all people who have currencies higher than his.

In my position right now I could buy AGN and kick out everyone else. Like that one episode of South Park.

[Russ]

In my position right now I could buy AGN and kick out everyone else. Like that one episode of South Park.
What would be the point of kicking everyone out of an online forum?

[phattonez]

So that I can have it all to myself. Like what Cartman did when he got the amusement park all to himself.

[Russ]

So that I can have it all to myself.
I can imagine that. "Look at me, 7,859,452,930 posts in a row, and not even a warning from a mod for double posting!"

[Aegix Drakan]

...it has begun...

I predict within three years this will be Pineconneddon Games. Flee now.

Not If I can help it. You shall not take over my favourite forum, Mr. Pineconnodo! :glare:

*loads Raygun, sharpens sword, and continues work on my secret army of robo-...there not so secret anymore, eh? oops.*


and Yeah! The Phattonez dollar is up! :thumbsup: I knew I was right to invest in them!

[phattonez]

Pineconn, how did you find time to make that chart?

[Russ]

Pineconn, how did you find time to make that chart?
The same way he found time to make a picture of the Pineconn dollar. :D

[phattonez]

Haha, well I guess I would do that kind of stuff too if I had photoshop. I'm just too lazy to download the freeware version.

[Skulkraken]

There's a freeware version of Photoshop? Where?! All I've got is Gimp and Opencanvas, ...though I doubt my computer could handle Photoshop. You know, if everyone is going to have their own currency (what would mine be?), then we should consider establishing some sort of market exchange for them. :D

[Russ]

then we should consider establishing some sort of market exchange for them. :D
Good point. I'll be in charge of that. Now my dollar will be worth more than everyone else's, because I control the market! :D

[The_Amaster]

It's nice to have a father who's a professional in graphic design. You get access to Photoshop, Illustrater, Flash, he he he...:D

Unfortunately, they're the Mac version, so I'm constantly swapping back and forth between the two comps.

[Russ]

Unfortunately, they're the Mac version, so I'm constantly swapping back and forth between the two comps.
That has to get annoying.

[Pineconn]

It took about 10 minutes to make that chart. :eyebrow:

[Russ]

It took about 10 minutes to make that chart. :eyebrow:
Only 10 minutes? What program did you use. And remember, from now on, I am blue and Amaster is green.

[phattonez]

10 minutes to prove that I am the best.

[Russ]

10 minutes to prove that I am the best.
Ten minutes to reveal the pattern. Phattonez dollars will eventually crash, only to be replaced by a new currency, which will also crash. It's one giant, unpredictable cycle.

[phattonez]

But why would Phattonez dollars lose value? I'm the only one who uses them.

Why do I use a laptop when I have a computer with a chair and a nice setup? I'm retarded.

[me2]

Jesus Christ. I was on TV again, twice in 96 hours. This time at an Obama rally.
http://www.myfoxhouston.com/myfox/pages/News/Politics/Detail?contentId=5931375&version=1&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=VSTY&pageId=3.14.1

I'm the one at the end of the broadcast in the blue shirt.

[Icey]

Being on TV is overrated. I was camping out for good seats at a UCLA basketball game (as usual) and we were told ESPN was filimng college gameday and sportscenter live in Pauley Pavillion in the morning. So instead of giving us the passes in the morning and letting us leave like usual they made us go into Pauley Pavillion before we got our passes. ESPN forced us into slave labor - had us jump around and cheer and do all sorts of stupid shit for their cameras and if we didn't do it to their satisfaction they'd do a retake (this was for the few non-live segments, the rest luckily was live and we didn't have to suffer through that). So yeah I was on national TV multiple times in the background, mostly doing my best to make exaggerated expressions of my discontent.

Damn ESPN and their slave labor. That took 3 hours of my life away.

----------------------

Anyway, I finally got all my classes. Two polisci, one econ, and one math. Political Economy of Development, California Politics, Statistics for Economists, and Elliptic Curves.

Political Economy of Development is basically what I came here to study. California Politics is relevant to my daily life so it should be fun. Stats will be ok, 8 am class but I've dealt with that before. And elliptic curves should be an interesting challenge. I have to find a way to get myself interested in elliptic curves. Any suggestions? -_-

[phattonez]

They'll help you understand the position of satellites? I don't know, that doesn't sound like a fun topic for a whole 10 week course.

[phattonez]

I think that we need a So... part II. The forum says that Icey posted an hour ago, but I can't see his post.

[Icey]

I did post... who knows where it went though. The thread gettting too long?

[Prrkitty]

Nah... database had problems earlier. Not sure why or who fixed it. But whoever did - thanks :)

[The_Amaster]

Yeah, I noticed that too. A few threads told me I had invalid addresses.
*shrugs* Ah well

[erm2003]

I sent a PM to DarkDragon about it earlier and he took care of it right away. It was really acting weird for me and I was getting errors when trying to view unread posts.

[phattonez]

So much for So... part II. Anyone want to take a bet on how many posts this will have until it dies?

[erm2003]

Why would it die? There is always something new to talk about and this is the perfect place to say something without having to dedicate it to it's own thread. Randomness is fun.

[Pineconn]

Never. It will live forevars!

And I didn't have any AGN problems today. I've been too busy napping and watching I Love Lucy.

[phattonez]

There will come a day when this thread will go into the archives. There are probably going to be much more than 5000 posts in here when it finally dies.

[Pineconn]

Oh, and by the way, the Shattered Earth server is back up. You can thank War Lord in the SE forum.

Now to actually play it for the first time ever. :p

[The_Amaster]

It's only been a few months and were at over 2000. I'd say closer to 10-15,000, if at all, which I hope it never does.

[deathbyhokie]

Gary Gygax is dead :(. The father of evil asshole GM's. Damn. Now who will i draw inspiration from?

[phattonez]

[Skulkraken]

Who?

The guy who created Dungeons & Dragons.

[phattonez]

I never played. RIP, I never knew ye.

[The_Amaster]

Yeah, I heard.
The man who changed the face of gaming. His legacy will live on.

"So, were walking in this forest..." "Dungeon!" "Forest dungeon, whatever. Anyway, you're walking, when a dragon pops out of the bushes" "We attack!" "Your swords strike the dragon and it splits open!" "What" "Suprise! It's a pinata!"

[Pineconn]

Our school district hasn't passed an additional levy in several years, and this year's is going to fail. So basically we're turning into a very poor school that the state won't fund. The fact that NAFTA is raping our businesses and forcing half of them to leave isn't helping our financial crisis, either.

The stupid part is that my county is mostly Democratic, and I always thought Democrats were supposed to "help out the poor."

I swear I have heard this before.

Randomness is fun.
I'll say. Pure ZC used to have a whole forum dedicated to being random.

[phattonez]

Oh no, Zelda Classic has a connection to the completely random, which has a connection to that which will not be named. This will be the demise of PureZC.

[Aegix Drakan]

The guy who invented DND DIED?!?

*salutes* Ye shall be missed, creator of such an awesome game!

[Russ]

The guy who invented DND DIED?!?

*salutes* Ye shall be missed, creator of such an awesome game!
That's strange, I never even heard of him. And the only time ever heard of his game was when my dad told me how easy it is to get addicted to games, and he used DND as an example.

[phattonez]

You know, I've never played the game, I've just seen it. Is there a place to play it online?

[Aegix Drakan]

O-o-on...LINE?!?!

:rolleyes: The whole point of DND is getting together, rolling some dice, and laughing when the other guy steps on a trap, since he rolled a 1 and stumbled on it.

DND is meant for playing with real dice, and with actual human interaction between players as they decide the fate of their characters.

Otherwise, how could you have events like this: *My friend and I were falling off a building. My friend takes 5 minutes to decide on a possible course of action, while I'm urging him to hurry up, or to let me do something*


And if it's live, then your only limit is your imagination.

Example:

DM (Dungeon Master): You warp into a room full of treasure...
All Players: YESSSSS!!!!
DM: *evil grin* ...So full, there's no air.
All Players: Damn...

:P Can't to funny stuff like that in an MMO.



But yes, they did make a DND online game. Don't know where it is, though.

[The_Amaster]

I think there was some stupid D&D online thing, but I don't remember what it was called.

I always preferred world-building to playing anyway. Guess I'm a universal questmaker.

[ShadowTiger]

Oh no, Zelda Classic has a connection to the completely random, which has a connection to that which will not be named. This will be the demise of PureZC.I read this, and thought .. .. "Voldemort?"

[The_Amaster]

...<<...>>...maybe...

and one will die and be reborn to strike down the other...
thus the prophecy will be fulfilled.

*shivers* I hope not*

[Russ]

I read this, and thought .. .. "Voldemort?"
Talk about random. :D

[ShadowTiger]

Oh hi. Welcome to "So..."

And no, I still don't know what you meant at Pure aside from DS. If AGN had a DS, .. well, they wouldn't. They'd get rid of it too. Believe me.

[Russ]

I was talking about random because the current subject of this thread was random.

And yes, my comment about Pure ZC was reffering to DS. Rest in peace DS. Why must the good die young? :cry:

[Pineconn]

That's okay, AGN has GB.

Oh, wait a minute...

[phattonez]

:( We should start a petition to get that back.

[Russ]

That's okay, AGN has GB.

Oh, wait a minute...
What on earth was that forum like? We need to get a DS forum like Pure ZC has before the mods killed it.

[The_Amaster]

What on earth was that forum like? We need to get a DS forum like Pure ZC has before the mods killed it.

Why? This thread effectively is the "random, post whatever the hell you want" place. Heck, we've held page long discussions debating the worth of currency named after various members, for crying out loud.

[Pineconn]

Example:

You know, I've never played the game, I've just seen it. Is there a place to play it online?

You can find Play by Post or Play by E-mail games around the web, which maintain the basic feel of D&D, while still playing in an online format.

I'd share a link, but the PbP forums of my choice are loading obnoxiously slow tonight

There we go GitP Forums (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/)

And we want this thread back, why?

Maybe I'll keep in the 1000 post range so I can keep my nice looking blue stars. Or not. :) Congrats by the way.

[phattonez]

But you still can't cuss people out here.

[Russ]

But you still can't cuss people out here.
So what?

[phattonez]

Some people like doing that. I'm not one of them, but it's everyday language for a lot of people.

[Russ]

Well, I'd rather have it not be on the forums anyways.

[Pineconn]

Some people like doing that. I'm not one of them, but it's everyday language for a lot of people.

Eh. Maybe not so much as AGNers, but many people at school are disgusting. They don't know how to subordinate two "ideas" without some nice, colorful words. Or the guy from YouTube's "My New Haircut".

[Russ]

Eh. Maybe not so much as AGNers, but many people at school are disgusting. They don't know how to subordinate two "ideas" without some nice, colorful words.
I know what you mean. The high school age people around here seem to caryy on conversation as an excuse to swear.

[The_Amaster]

Yeah, one person I know said that F*** was their favorite word because you could put it anywhere. A verb, a noun, an adjective. It's an excuse not to come up with anything more creative.

[phattonez]

My favorite line: "I gotta go put my shit away."

Stuff=shit now.

But when I said cuss, I meant like cuss someone out. But I agree, language has just gotten lazy. People can't carry on a conversation without those words.

[Russ]

What the H*** are you talking about? :D

[phattonez]

Why did you censor out hell? Does anyone here get offended by that?

[The_Amaster]

I think he was making fun of my use of the work F***.

[phattonez]

Got it, but I actually liked that censoring.

[Russ]

It was just a bad joke about how people can't go one sentance without swearing. That was the first thing that came to my mind that could somewhat be considered swearing, so I censored out as a joke. Gosh that made a lot more sense in my head before I typed it out. :D

[phattonez]

Haha, well it was good enough.

What the f*** is this bulls*** of a forum? 2 Phattonez dollars if you can't figure that out.

[Aegix Drakan]

Hey speaking of swearing...

Why the heck is "Shit" considered a worse word than "crap"?

I think it should be the other way around.



And I TRY not to swear, but I'm around people who swear all the time, and It's rubbing off on me. And that really sucks, since I think that swearing is infantile. ...Seriously. Tossing swears around as punctuation is the dumbest thing since....since... uh... that ET game for the Atari!

[phattonez]

Shit has always been a lot more vulgar to me. For me, the order has been shit, fuck, then cunt. Either way, I try to avoid all of them, they make people sound like trash.

[Jenny]

to me, the worst are whore, slut and cunt. it really depends on the person. personaly i dont mind cussing, unless its a direct verbal assault to someone

[phattonez]

And Jenny just proved that you have to use different words in front of different people. It's obvious that women would be more offended by those words than men.

[Prrkitty]

To me... "sticks and stones can break my bones... but words can never hurt me". People need to grow a bit more "thicker skin".

I know Paul and I are rather unique in how we deal with each other and life in general... but a game we play is...

He calls me a "bitch"
I call him a "slut"
He calls me a "cunt"
I call him a "whore"
He then says "mine!"
and I say "always".

Eh... most people wouldn't understand.

[Pineconn]

In my school, it seems that a lot of girls call each other those names all the time. Or a guy will say, "Come hug me, b****!!!" to a girl, and she won't mind at all. It's just.....weird. As DN says, where's the humanity?

[Russ]

As DN says, where's the humanity?
It was defenestrated.

[The_Amaster]

[phattonez]

And that's the kind of dog that you should leave outside.

[deathbyhokie]

Wow, and I thought I had seen some complicated relationships.

That isn't "complicated". I'd bet that any long-term relationship develops eccentricities like that, be they exchanges like Prr's, or impromptu Nerf battles like my fiancee and me. It's just part of growing close to a person

[Prrkitty]

Wow, and I thought I had seen some complicated relationships.

Complicated? Actually my relationship with Paul is and has been the easiest relationship/friendship that I've "ever" had in my entire life.

And I would have to say that the most important part is the respect we hold for each other. Much as the "word game" we play would probably imply different to some people looking into our life ... from the outside.

[phattonez]

So why does so... keep getting so serious?

[Pineconn]

Because we is a bunches of serious person!

Yeah, but the reactions of the picture from half a year ago were priceless:


^^Well that is just beautiful.


I feel so enlightened after reading this thread. *wide-eyed*

Haha, well now don't I feel like a dumbass? 100 Phattonez dollars for that trick.

But my point still stands, I've seen much worse. A year older, a year less innocent.

On a side note, I can't wait for Brawl to be released! I'm so anxious!

Oh wait, my tv can't even really have a Wii.

I will probably be too. But I was unable to pre order it, so I'll be hoping that it isn't sold out.

[Prrkitty]

Paul and I want to the local Toyota Dealership and checked out a new 2008 Sienna. No we didn't buy yet (much to the salesman's chagrin... but we did promise we'd be back around June.

The Captains seats in the vehicle were very VERY comfortable. :) So maybe June I'll get to make a post about our new vehicle :)

[phattonez]

So I'm watching the Bad News Bears . . . maybe it's just because I saw the first one first, but this one just seems so terrible.

[Aegix Drakan]

so NOOOOOW everyone posts!

:mad: I was bored out of my skull all day and there's been almost NO activity on ANY board I visit.

*POINTS TO SIG!!!!!!*

Right now I'm sitting with my two best friends and my brother in my family room. We've got a case of Mountain Dew and three pizzas. We also have two TVs, one running the original Smash Bros.; the other Sonic Adventure 2.
The night is young; Brawl is waiting.

It's gonna be sweet.:sly:

[phattonez]

That sounds so productive. I'm thinking about doing my worksheet for chem, just maybe.

[Pineconn]

Right now I'm debating whether I should play ZC, SE, or MP2E. Tough decision right there...

Play SE, I'll get in on that.

Agreed! I wasn't able to get it, but a friend of mine did. We've been playing through the story mode for a while, and it is amazing!

Stop rubbing it in.
Sorry, but it's just, wait, that would be rubbing it in. :D

[The_Amaster]

Say, isn't the Wii great? I mean, I just love my Wii. In fact, I don't know how I'd deal without a Wii, they are just that awesome. I sure feel bad for anyone who doesn't have a Wii.

Nah, I'm done now. Expect my mention of my Wii to decrease significantly now that the Brawl fever is over. ;)

[Aegix Drakan]

@ amaster: :glare:

You rub it in on me one more time and I WILL send my crack squad of Moogles over to your house.

I happen to have a copy of Brawl (my friend got a second one somehow, and he's giving it to me), but I have no Wii to play it on. :uhoh:

[The_Amaster]

Seriously, I'm done now. I just wanted to do that one post.

Aegix, you don't have a Wii? I could have sworn you did...

[phattonez]

Everybody should be watching Breaking Bad. No exceptions.

Hal Cranston really can act.

And I messed up my thumb playing football today. Grrreat.

[Aegix Drakan]

Everybody should be watching Breaking Bad. No exceptions.


No exceptions?

*points to sig*

:P You just contradicted yourself.

[mrz84]

I know how you feel about the Brawl-Wii problem Aegix. I've got the same problem because there's only store in my town that carries video game products and they've been sold out of Wiis since September 2007. :angry:

[phattonez]

Aegix, I didn't contradict myself. The TV is right next to my monitor; I can do both at the same time.

[Russ]

I GOT BRAWL!!! My friend's mom was shopping at Costco, and she saw them put out a full shelf full of Brawl copies! And she picked one up for me! Time to Brawl!

[The_Amaster]

Argghhhhh! My parents don't let me play Wii on weeknights!
*hyperventilates*

[Pineconn]

Hahahahahahahaaaa!!! :D

I mean...

Sorry to hear that. :(

[phattonez]

Argghhhhh! My parents don't let me play Wii on weeknights!
*hyperventilates*

I can think of a very obvious solution. Do it anyway.

[Icey]

They don't let you play Wii but they let you spend time on AGN? I'm pretty sure both will rot your brain equally, just play Wii anyway :p

[The_Amaster]

They think I'm doing homework on the computer. *cough*

And the Wii is set up right in the family room. No way to not get caught.

*an idea occurs* Any way to hook up a Wii to a computer monitor? Only I have an old one in my room.

[phattonez]

And the Wii is set up right in the family room. No way to not get caught.

Again, just do it anyway. If they catch you, just keep doing it.

[Aegix Drakan]

And that, Phattonez, is the quickest way to get grounded in most households, bar calling everyone an ******* moron, retard, blahblah blah, you get my drift.


And I just found out that the only real place to get a Wii (that I know of) in my town is only getting a new shipment in 3 weeks...3 WEEKS!!!

...My options are to try to locate that random store my friend told me about, or go to ANOTHER town, and try there. ...I'm actually considering action 2 right about now.

[phattonez]

Sure you'll get grounded, but even when you're grounded go and do it.

[Icey]

It's nice to be an adult and not have to live under inane rules.

[phattonez]

It's nice to be an adult and not have to live under inane rules.
QFT. This is my POV, and I want everyone else to see things from this POV.

[Aegix Drakan]

Sure you'll get grounded, but even when you're grounded go and do it.

>_> See, that never worked in my house. My parents would take away AND HIDE the object in question. ...Of course I got around the temporary loss of my gameboy by using my Old-school one... but otherwise, no dice.

Also, I'm too nice and honorable for my own good.



And Icey, I agree with you. Now that I'm 19, they can't (and don't even try) to make me obey rules. :P But they still give me the evil glare whnever I'm doing something I shouldn't (in their opinion).

[The_Amaster]

*takes a deep breath*
Ah, nothing like a trip to the good ol' library.
Just picked up a book on programming, one on robotics, the new Terry Pratchett book, and three by my favorite author Orson Scott Card. These should last me till Saturday or so.

Yeah, if I played Wii, I'd lose my parents trust as well, which wouldn't allow me to get away with half of what I get away with.

[phattonez]

I once went to the library to get a book on Javascript. I have since completely forgotten Javascript.

[Russ]

Argghhhhh! My parents don't let me play Wii on weeknights!
*hyperventilates*
My parents won't let me either! It's an outrage!

They think I'm doing homework on the computer. *cough*

How could you stoop so low as to deceive you parents? Okay, I have done that once or twice. But it's not a good habit to get into. Trust me, I learned that the hard way...

[The_Amaster]

Eh, quite honestly, it's kind of a "wink wink, homework, riiiight" situation.
Basicly, as long as I do do some actual homework, I can use the electronics even though my siblings can't. But definitely not the Wii.

[phattonez]

I think that your parents are the kind of overbearing type. I would fight against it somehow.

[The_Amaster]

I prefer subterfuge to outright rebellion. Theres less that you can do, but your chances of getting caught are far lower.

Pretty much, I never do anything if I judge a significant chance of getting caught. And things with high risks I tend not to be too interested in anyway, so it works out.

[Russ]

I think that your parents are the kind of overbearing type. I would fight against it somehow.
Trust me, that only gets you in an even worse situation.

[phattonez]

My parents were the "do whatever you want as long as you don't act retarded or just completely disrespectful." It was pretty easy-going, but then again, they didn't like us slacking off too much. They didn't make us do homework as long as we got a good grade at the end of the quarter. We were all pretty smart for high school so it really was all pretty easy.

[The_Amaster]

Yeah, see, my parents know I'm smart, so if I'm getting good grades, i.e Bs in Honors level classes, they know I'm not doing any work. They say that if I actually tried I could get As, to which my response is "Yes, but I'd rather spend my time the way I want, instead of doing quite frankly, pointless homework".
So, yeah, Bs for me

[Russ]

Just do the extra work to get As then. I know if I started getting Bs, my mom would ground me from all forms of electronic gaming and comunication instantly.

[Pineconn]

Which is pretty much the perfect parent. But some parents are too ignorant and uncaring when their kids go out, which is when the kids do bad things and all that jazz. The only thing I can say is HIPPIES.

...I remember when I used to post meaningfully. I wonder what happened to that?

[Russ]

...I remember when I used to post meaningfully. I wonder what happened to that?
AGN changed. Now most of the posts are just plain silly. :googly:

[phattonez]

We're just getting lazy and more lax. It's more of a tight-knit community than what it was last year.

[erm2003]

So being told that you can't play video games during the week is considered overbearing? My parents did that to me too when I was younger and looking back I am very thankful for it. I was able to concentrate on school and as a result did extremely well. I doubt I would have done all my work and studied for school if I was allowed to play games during the week since I was way to into them.

[Icey]

I guess some kids need that. I got all A's and I could play video games whenever I wanted to. No specific rules of what I could or could not do but I would have been punished if I behaved inappropriately or disrespectfully I suppose. I just never wanted to. *shrugs*

[phattonez]

It's not that not allowing kids to not play video games is overbearing, it's that it's usually typical of overbearing parents.

[Pineconn]

This is a very nice week of school. The sophomorons have to take OGTs (Ohio Graduation Tests - an effect of No Child Left Behind) from 7:30 to 10:00. Therefore, everyone else is allowed to arrive at school at 10:00, and we have shortened periods for the rest of the day (24 minutes instead of 47). It's perfect!

On a side note, somebody should make a flow chart on every topic discussed in this thread.

[phattonez]

On a side note, somebody should make a flow chart on every topic discussed in this thread.

Only you would have the time for that.

On a related note, I have no more chem classes. So that means I have one class on Wednesday and it starts at 2. Now I have to think of what to do with all that time, and I think I know what I'm going to do . . . unfortunately that activity is study.

[Pineconn]

Hm.... Seems like perfect time for you to make a nice little flow chart of this thread. :)

[phattonez]

Haha, hell no. I have my chem and my ls grades that really need to go up. That means I really have to study for these finals. I'm not gonna have any time.

[Icey]

Ugh, finals week. Every single quarter I've been at UCLA (this is the 5th, not counting summer classes) I've had a Friday final. It's the worst... usually most people are gone and I'm still studying. It's no different this quarter, my last final ends at 3 pm on Friday. Oh well, in Spring I'm done on Thursday for once :p

[phattonez]

I'm gonna be done on Thursday again, but this time it ends at 9:30, that's PM. I have a Sunday final for chem and an easy Philosophy final on Monday that should take an hour at the most really.

[Aegix Drakan]

Just do the extra work to get As then. I know if I started getting Bs, my mom would ground me from all forms of electronic gaming and comunication instantly.

>_> Isn't that a LITTLE harsh? My parents just expected me to get at least a C (or above 75%). They only got pissed if I was failing anything (which I only did in college. ...stupid Trail hiking.)

Pretty much, I never do anything if I judge a significant chance of getting caught. And things with high risks I tend not to be too interested in anyway, so it works out.

Same here. I only bend the rules when I KNOW I can get away with them. I.E: Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons I have off. I therefore take advantage of this by playing some console games for a bit (without having one of my parents give me the Evil Eye as I play).

[phattonez]

So does anybody have an idea why I physically can't sleep in? Really, I can't sleep past 9am, no matter what time I go to sleep.

[Aegix Drakan]

Maybe your internal "clock" has programmed itself to wake you up without fail at that time?



and WOOT! I got my DS lite back yesterday! :D Brand new DS lite, actually. Nintendo is awesome.

...and I only sent it on friday. Purolator ships FAST. :o

[Russ]

Wow, Nintendo is quick at that.

[phattonez]

What did you do to your DS?

[Aegix Drakan]

>_> I just snapped it shut too often, causing a crack on the inside, middle hinge. It didn't bother me until the crack suddenly started to open really wide whenever I opened my DS.

Needless to say, I'm being VERY careful with my new one.

[Russ]

My younger brother has an original DS that is literally falling apart. The hinges are almost broken, and the top screen is barely connected to to the bottom screen.

[phattonez]

Yeah, and I'm sure that will last . . . isn't there a saying about habits?

[Pineconn]

(That they run in the family?)

I can't write a single MIDI anymore... I need vibrato, I need slurs, I need crescendos. I've yet to come across a single program that would let me do that in a MIDI.

[The_Amaster]

Yeah, MIDI's suck for any serious composition. Possibly you could fake crescendos and vibrato with multiple overlapping tracks...? Maybe write some regular songs on something like Garage Band to get it out of your system, the go back to MIDI's.

And Organic Chemistry is my new favorite class. :)

[Shyvus]

So does anybody have an idea why I physically can't sleep in? Really, I can't sleep past 9am, no matter what time I go to sleep.

Your body is so used to getting up at 9 AM. Stay up for 48 hours and you can reset it. You could also get up early for a couple weeks- really early, like 4 AM.

[phattonez]

And Organic Chemistry is my new favorite class. :)

I hope that you've done more than naming and shapes.

[The_Amaster]

Depends on how you define that. We're just finishing up a week on Alkanes with Cyclo-hexane and it's various conformations and isomers. Equatoral vs. Axial, Chair formation and all that. And for some reason we've been running a lab on Heat Capacity the last couple days as well.

Hmmm, I guess that would be just naming and shapes. But as soon as we finish structures of the basic types. (Alkanes, Alkenes, Ketones, etc) we're going to work on properties and reactions.

Plus the girl who I like is in the class, we're good friends, and she just broke up with her boyfriend and has been talking to me about it a lot, so I'm hopeful.

[phattonez]

Or she just sees you as a friend . . .

But anyway, I still have two quarters of O Chem to go, so tell me how it is. I've only done naming and such right now, so it's been pretty simple.

[Russ]

I can't write a single MIDI anymore... I need vibrato, I need slurs, I need crescendos. I've yet to come across a single program that would let me do that in a MIDI.
I can't write a single MIDI anymore either. I've yet to come across a single program that will write one for me. :D

And Organic Chemistry is my new favorite class. :)
Organic Chemistry sounds fun. I love science classes. Isn't science the best school sunject? *Waits for everyone to call me crazy*

[The_Amaster]

Actually, that's where it gets interesting, because she admitted that she likes me, but between her ex and just wanting a break for a while, she's going to "ignore" it. So I'll give it some time.

[phattonez]

Yeah, then he probably broke up with her.

So I went to shave today, and what do you know, I don't have any razor blades. Looks like I'm gonna have to let it grow out for a while.

[Russ]

So I went to shave today, and what do you know, I don't have any razor blades. Looks like I'm gonna have to let it grow out for a while.
Can't you just go buy some?

[Pineconn]

Plus the girl who I like [...] just broke up with her boyfriend [...]

Amaster = happiest guy in Wisconsin. :D

[phattonez]

Can't you just go buy some?

Razor blades are expensive as hell; I'll wait until I go home, which is a week until tomorrow. :D

[The_Amaster]

Pshaww, if you were a real man, you'd just go find a steak knife. Bloody gouges build character, and the scars look cool as hell to chicks too.

[phattonez]

I'm not worrying about picking up chicks during dead week.

[The_Amaster]

during dead week.
?
Some college thing?

[phattonez]

The week before finals week.

[The_Amaster]

..and why is it called Dead Week? You're all dead because your studying, or something?

[phattonez]

From what my brother has told me, classes are supposed to be done this week so that people can study for finals. I think that's a dead tradition though, but they kept the name dead week.

[Pineconn]

..and why is it called Dead Week? You're all dead because your studying, or something?

I'd assume so. Either everyone is comatose from the constant studying, or the entire campus is "dead" (as in "bare") since many people are busy studying in their dorms rather than having a life.

Dang it, I was just getting used to your avatar. Now I have to remember that Amaster is Dexter.

[The_Amaster]

Yea, makes sense I guess.

Well, now I must retire, but until the morn, I bid thee adieu.

[phattonez]

Actually, here at UCLA it seems that more people are out roaming the halls than usual. I'm finally using my time to study; a kind of reversal of roles.

[Icey]

Yeah a lot of schools have a week of no class before finals. Unfortunately, UCLA is not one of them. I had class Friday night then my first final Saturday morning one quarter... not exactly fun.

In any case, I'm looking forward to this quarter ending. Too much math and it's hurting my brain. -_-

[phattonez]

Hey Icey, would you believe that a Writing II class has a final that is only 2 hours long and is all multiple choice?

[Icey]

Haha. I can see how that requires advanced writing skills.

Who's the teacher in this class? Maybe I'll take him/her since you make this seem so easy... ;)

[phattonez]

Well I wouldn't say it's easy, since you do have to spend a lot of time with the papers, but at least it's not too much to do. Her name is Pamela Hieronymi. Don't expect it to be easy, but the workload is very manageable.

[Icey]

Fair enough. I'm used to writing multiple papers for one class, as a polisci major I have to do it all the time.

[phattonez]

Well then it probably would be an easy class for you since you're used to papers similar to the ones you'll write for philosophy. It is pretty broad so you get a general idea for ethics. I mean everything that I've posted on AGN lately about ethics has all come from that class.

[Russ]

Although it's sort of changing the topic, why is everyone changing avatars? It confuses me! Well, I'm used to Amaster changing them all the time, but Pineconn, I've only seen you use two avatars. Wait, that means the Master Sword avatar is up for grabs! I am definitly changing mine to it!

[phattonez]

This is just going to confuse the hell out of me.

[me2]

In the future everyone will listen to bossa nova and like it. And it will be in french instead of portuguese.

Or else.

[Russ]

This is just going to confuse the hell out of me.
Yes, isn't it wonderful? :sb:

[phattonez]

Yes it is Pineconn. It comes as no surprise that your post total is 1666 right now.

[Aegix Drakan]

:scared:

Whoa boy... this is getting crazy...

[Russ]

:scared:

Whoa boy... this is getting crazy...
Well, who said Amaster is the only one that gets to change avatars? I changed it at Pure ZC too, and have already confused tons of people. :D

[phattonez]

Since we're talking about avatars, I'll give anyone who can find my old Jay Sherman avatar 100 Phattonez dollars. Really, there was no better avatar than that one.

[ctrl-alt-delete]

So...I've been thinking...

Why the hell have I never posted in this thread?

More importantly...

Why has this thread degraded into the largest pit of spam ever?

I kind of like it. Instead of its own shitty forum(Spam here as much as you want and it will not add to your post count!), at least there is a thread where the topic can change infinitely and nobody cares at all.

Thanks, mookie.

[Jenny]

so my hair is back to normal now, no more brownies!

also, im mad at WoW, ive gained 2 pounds sense i started playing! :(

[phattonez]

This isn't a large pit of spam, just a collection of thoughts.

Jenny, what is your natural hair color, and what does that have to do with brownies?

Also, don't expect much sympathy; I figure that most here don't know their weight well enough to notice 2 pounds.

[Icey]

"Degraded" into a large pit of spam implies it was once something else...

I'm not aware that it was ever intended for any other reason; just to post whatever the hell you feel like. Works for me.

[ctrl-alt-delete]

Actually, the original purpose was to just see how everyone was doing, and what they were up to, or at least that was what I gathered(I know she said no substance, but still. That would be against the rules of the TOS. And since I do not want to close or have this thread closed, I am labeling it with my own purpose.)

Obviously, that has changed over the course of the thread to, "Post whatever the hell you feel like."

Did you see me complain about it?

No, I said, "I kind of like it. Instead of its own shitty forum(Spam here as much as you want and it will not add to your post count!), at least there is a thread where the topic can change infinitely and nobody cares at all.

Thanks, mookie."

Anyways...

I really love my new job. I get to browse AGN all day and get paid for it.

Nothing better than that.

[Aegix Drakan]

I really love my new job. I get to browse AGN all day and get paid for it.

:o You get PAID?!?

[Icey]

Oh, I never meant to suggest you were complaining or anything. And fair enough about labeling it for your own purposes ;)

Yeah, my friend works at the biomedical library on campus. He gets paid to sit in front of a computer screen and do whatever he wants while occassionally helping people and stacking books... usually, though, he's watching youtube videeos or something.

[ctrl-alt-delete]

I apologize, that last phrase was slightly misleading.

I work as a furniture salesman now. (Yeah, yeah, I know. Furniture salesmen are generally assholes. Not at this store though. We actually leave you alone until you need help.)

Anyways, I have access to the internet, and when there are no customers in the store, I am free to do whatever I want. Be that play games, watch TV, or browse the web.

Best job I have ever had, and one that I intend on keeping for quite some time.

[phattonez]

I would just play hearts all day.

[Pineconn]

Russadwan, change your avatar.

[phattonez]

Pineconn, you have to change yours back just for simplicity sake.

[The_Amaster]

DAMNIT!!!
They got back together...

*Looks at Russ, then Pineconn*
Oh, my head hurts.

[MoonCheese]

I apologize, that last phrase was slightly misleading.

That sounds like my old job. I was a tutor at a university, and if students didn't come, I could do whatever I wanted.

[Pineconn]

Sooo........ is Organic Chemistry no longer your favorite course, Amaster?

Well, you just have to force them to break up. Might I suggest placing a gun in the guy's locker? Or maybe some marijuana?

[phattonez]

10 Phattonez dollars says he'll just smoke the pot and the plan will backfire.

What does everyone suggest for cleaning a monitor screen?

[The_Amaster]

Have you tried Windex?

Eh, I'm actually semi friends with him. And I still hold out hope. They've been back and forth for like, 2 weeks. It just seemed so final this time that I got my hopes up.

[Pineconn]

I usually just take a damp paper towel and wipe it down.

Did I just add to the avatar confusion? :D

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v125/PokeMaster/Untitled-1copy.jpg

[The_Amaster]

Muahahahahahahahaha!!!
Who is who? Which is which? You may never recover.

[phattonez]

AGN has turned into avatar hell.

Pineconn, I guess you weren't here early enough to see my Jay Sherman avatar. That would be my Jon Lovitz avatar. :)

[Pineconn]

Nope, I came too late. If you'd describe it, I'm sure I could find it.

[The_Amaster]

Man, this thread is soooo much fun when like three people are online at the same time.

[Icey]

Ultimately, this begs the question... do you REALLY want to be confused for each other?

I would not...

[phattonez]

Has anyone noticed that Rainman hasn't been here since January? Somehow he's managed to stay as mod of this forum.

It was just a picture of Jay Sherman, there wasn't much special to it as I remember it.
