Cool Shxt

[NoiseHERO]

Had this idea for a while and only just now put it into action because of laziness and how not-seriously I take Message Boards...

But I think you guys get the point. It's the opposite of "Bull Shxt" instead of venting about your more serious problems(Or first world problems) or annoying things in general. You can just post random accomplishments or the few good things that happen in life, the little things even. I made this thread because I thought... I dunno sounds interesting. Also, "Bull Shxt" can be pretty depressing to look at, (Life's gotta have up's too)

Guess you could call it a "Real Life Finds/Accomplishments" thread. Anyway, I guess I'll start, assuming this topic doesn't die in 4 posts... Or 2 pages.

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

I made these funny tags. Also finally got my netbook to charge (Haven't used it in months)

...Yeah!

This place could certainly use a bit of positivity.

Picked up a set of Logitech Z623 speakers for my PC on a bit of a whim and am thoroughly happy with them thus far after a bit of tinkering the high-ends because they were a little too bassy and not enough treble out of the box. Games are sounding nice and punchy the way I like them to, and they're displaying a pretty good range for the music I've put through them thus far.

I picked up a pretty neat floor lamp today for $5 and discovered some neat makeup (gel liner and mascara).

[Nitro Vordex]

Changed the oil in my car. Still got some other things to do to it, including fuel injectors and the TPS, but I'm optimistic. I refuse to give up on it.

My grandmother from back home sent me a box full of these snacks I haven't had in over a year, cuz you can only get them out in PA. Very sweet of her.

EDIT: also happened to get matchmade with one of my fav DotA 2 streamers and I buried hard in the game which is always a good feeling.

I found my spinner ring that I lost almost two years or so ago. Just some plain stainless steel with a little chain-link design spinner around the middle.

It's great, because when I'm wearing it (I wear it on my left ring finger for some reason; feels most comfortable there), and I spin the chain, it helps me relax and helps me keep my anxiety under a much better control. So glad I found it....

....in my sock drawer. Under my socks I don't wear anymore.

[goldwing]

I finaly found the designs i made back in cad 2 of this neclace i call project triangle. Now i just gotta find someone or a store who can custome make this for me. Im so glad i found it!!!

Went out to do a deposit in the bank forgetting it doesnt open during summer holidays so i had to go to another office bank and there you see me walking under the hot sun for 2 whole hours from point A to point B to point C,D,.... doing errands （*ノノ）

Yet i meet new areas of my neiborghood that i didnt knew they existed at all and it was a nice walk after all and a good exercise too after walking more than 10 km! between places ...

[Mantiskilla]

Made 2 people happy with giveaway I recently started on here. Being the someone who helped out with that makes its pretty satisfying.

Client I did some studio drumming for asked me to formally join their band. I declined respectfully because I really don't have the time (and I wasn't super into their music, but didn't mention that), but it's always nice when people recognize your talents, especially when you've spent 22 years honing the craft.

Gonna put a new bridge pickup into my Strat tonight(!) This is goodbye, Mr. Stock Pup. You were not very good, but I wish you all the best in your future dust-collecting endeavors.

[CelestialBlade]

I'm alive and mostly have the money I need to do what I want. I try to tell myself that every day because seriously, it's all I need anymore. There's so little I truly feel the need to complain about when I can simply exist in a state of comfort, a luxury so few have. I like this thread.

With a lot of ISO certification projects I've been working on taking a global stage this week, it's been really nice to get respected for the work I've done at my job. Just been getting a good level of admiration this week and it feels good.

That's awesome, girl. Even if it's an offer you can't take up currently, it's always awesome to be respected enough to receive it. I did some vocal covers for my friend's band months ago and they've asked if I wanted to do some more soon. Gonna have to come up with an open weekend to do so but I'm excited, and kinda blown away because I love singing/dancing but hate my voice :P

Finally fixed my sleep schedule.

Sleep schedule officially fixed before heading back to work tomorrow after a month off! PSO2 wrecked my shit good, but I got it all back in order!

My friend stopped by and jumped my mom's car for a good while. Seemed to fix it, sine the battery wasn't old, or bad, or out of fluids. So that should be all good now. Whew.

Kind of embarrassing, I bought a new mouse and a replacement tablet (which i learned why it broke.) Thought i put the order for Intuos 4 M. for 350$ (200 less than the 5) but realized, i ordered the intuos5 Medium for 350$ instead. Newegg you know the way into my heart.

It would seem my shota son still has his positive outlook deep down inside, under all of that silly tomfoolery.

I've become soft over the years...

But most of my hatred for humanity that drives me to take nothing seriously is still there...

Just that I stopped taking that seriously too.

Friend of mine did a complete career switch last year out of the blue from a job and field he was entirely bored in and wasn't fulfilling to something he'd wanted to do all his life. He's worked his ass off the whole time and today received his first promotion! Super proud of him. ;D

I propose that this thread be named "Cool Shxt". Gotta be positive, after all. :wacko:

Getting a decent check this week, hopefully one step closer to the edge getting my car registered.

With the way the economy is right now, that's considered a big step. Congrats! I'm looking to advance in my field but the seniors of my field believe 10+ years of experience means more than absolutely anything, so nobody really wants me and my 2.5, haha. I'm stubborn though.

Hmm. Buying things. Contribute to this topic.

I've recruited my sister to read Gravity's Rainbow with me, diet buddy style. I picked it up about a year ago and decided to shelve it after 100 pages, but now I believe the time is right. I've read some of Pynchon's easier stuff and have a better understanding of his style, so it's so far been a lot more fun the second time around (now that every single scene, character, and metaphor isn't going completely over my head). I think when (if) I manage to get through all 730 pages, and like them, I'll commemorate it with a tattoo. I whipped this up in Illustrator this morning:

[spoiler-box]http://i510.photobucket.com/albums/s341/magcoffee/00000-1.png

One of the central things in the book is the "Schwarzgerät" ("Black Device"), a mysterious V-2 rocket with the irregular serial number of 00000. V-2s flew faster than the speed of sound, so the rockets landed before anyone could even hear them coming in—hence the speedometer. I'm thinking I might want this on my upper arm. I don't want to turn into one of those people that's drowning in tattoos, but if I do, I at least want them all to be suitably geeky. And what's geekier than reading a notoriously difficult postmodern monster of a WW2 novel in one's spare time?[/spoiler-box]

White Snoop Dogg (Adrien Brody Shaving Ad goattee) is now a Gamerpic

Though Snoop is really already old and black enough to be on there with Denzel and Morgan Freeman already, former gamerpics used.

Also the Pringles guy for all the fans of that or the Marvel. Though Clearly they have long since lost quality and LAYS STAX are the Superior ("attack") Foodstuff in baked potater chips. I wish to buy their Jalapeno brand again but the only place I saw them was WALMART, the devil, and last time I went they were sold out.

Seriously though, get your head up. You have to walk in there believing you're the right person for the job and that you deserve it. Remember that a job interview involves advertising yourself to the employer, so be confident and upbeat about the opportunity. Even a little negativity shows through. Good luck.

[BIG OLAF]

Thanks, everyone. I don't really know what I'm doing when it comes to interviews, since I've only ever had one prior to this (the one from my first job I mentioned last post). So I know there's these 'techniques' and such things that you 'should' do during interviews, but I'll be damned if I'll be able to remember them while I'm there having my anxiety attack, haha.

Okay, maybe that's a bit dramatic, but I know I'll be more than a bit frightened. But, I'm sure I'll do okay outside maybe choking on my words every once in a while due to my heart pounding (happens when I'm nervous).

[Nitro Vordex]

Just got a $40 waiver from Capital One. They issued a membership fee on a card that I use maybe once a year, then tried to claim that they couldn't refund it because they did the same thing last year. I called their bluff and ran it up the flag pole.

GIMME MAH MONIES.

[BIG OLAF]

So long as you can at least convey the general point that you don't suck and can actually do the job expected of you, you'll be fine. It does help to come off as calm, confident and straightforward, but if you don't have those qualities naturally, emulating them often comes off as strange. So just do you. Basically never sell yourself short.

Well, I nailed the first interview, basically impressing her with my wordsmithing and detailed explanations (without rambling) of my strengths, weaknesses, etc. The normal interview crapola.

As for 'doing me', that wouldn't have worked very well. "I'm" weak, negative, insecure, etc. But I'll be damned if I can't put on one hell of a show of all the contrary.

Apparently I'll get a call for a 'second interview' if they liked me enough. Not getting my hopes up, but one never knows.

[.Rusty.]

Fixed up my sisters old laptop. It used to be a overheating piece of junk but now its aleast good for stuff like youtube and general internet browsing.

Well why don't you try and fix your flaws? Self improvement ain't impossible it just takes a lot work.

[Slidikins]

As for 'doing me', that wouldn't have worked very well. "I'm" weak, negative, insecure, etc.Sounds like you have a self-esteem issue brewing here. Psychologist aside, you're wrong.

You didn't impress her with just wordsmithing. You impressed her with your presentation of you as a whole. You're probably the best thing to happen to K-Mart and they gotta know it. You can't walk in with your head hanging low.


But I'll be damned if I can't put on one hell of a show of all the contrary.If you truly believe this, then "Fake it until you make it." Tried and true: if you pretend you know what you're doing others will keep you on board until you actually do know.

After so many years, I finally have an upgraded phone. Its been a good run LG. We'll be continuing it with another model. I wanted an android phone for years, but never could find a proper one, until StraightTalk came along with some nice ones. No other models from Verizon could top my good ol' EnV4, and were basically downgrades from what I currently got. Android is the only way.

Cool Shxt bro.

When he showed up I just had to be as cheeky as jumping right into the scene like the Gaijin I am. I mean, that was a once in a lifetime chance, right?

He seemed kind of baffled I would do that, but I used my chance to shake hands with this Titan among Gods. Man, I couldn't withhold my excitement. Look at my face, so derpy! My hands were shaking afterwards. Best thing to happen to me in a long time.

My pizza stone was listed as $40 from Kohl's (in store, didn't see them on their website), Food Network brand. On sale, and a 30% coupon meant it was under $25.

on to question, do you cook pizzas on the cardboard if you don't have a stone?+^_^+

[Ketchup345]

on to question, do you cook pizzas on the cardboard if you don't have a stone?+^_^+We always put the pizza on a "cookie" tray, either rectangular or round. It works well, just not as good as a pizza stone. Cardboard is for the microwavable pizzas (with that weird microwave reflective plastic cover thingy for cooking) or what you buy premade pizzas in.

Because you did a shoryuken wrong. can't ask what you did with your shoe, extension of the arm, projectile, kick, etc

Its a punch, uppercut punch. Allen Snider, Bruce Lee x Chuck Norris guy in the poor outcasted one, so he's American and mostly says the same moves in English. For Shoryuken he says:

RISING DRAGON!!

I still have no idea what he says for fireball, sho-koh or somethin. Because he actually says FIYYEEBALL for the Super one.

Street Fighter EX+@ is cool shit.
Has x in it too if it has to be "shxt."

Or you need to catch flies with chopsticks.
IIRC This was in videogame form too if it has to be.

Our site received the highest first-audit score out of all of our company's North American sites on a maintenance audit we did earlier this week. I think some of that is due to the complexity of this site, but it's pretty awesome to be one of the leads on that team and its ongoing journey.

This week also looks like the end of about 5 consecutive 70-hour weeks trying to get all these projects done and for production to get caught up on orders, which is really awesome :P I don't really talk about work stuff outside of work, not my style, but I'm feeling really good about everything we've accomplished in the past month. Really proud of my teams in production and maintenance and it makes our site look damn good.

My League of Legends account got hacked by some random guy about a week ago, and I finally got around it and got my account back today. Only reason why this is important to me is because I spent 3 years worth of time, money, and blood into that account, mostly money.

Jesus, Rock

And he's not shipping you no books to "borrow" which makes more sense than shipping MrGle to you, with bags full of books he has to check in and they'll randomly screen all the books and extra bagging check in fees, why you just carrying so many books and not clothes-

so the long story short is you jerk, stop thinking about yourself!!

Cool that you like his books, a compliment, but shxt...

So, this is late, but still fresh and valid. I actually have better internet. Same provider, but more competent speeds. Much more competent.

A year and a half of slow agonizing turmoil... Gone? W00T! Time to actually get back into gaming for real now.

I snagged a PS3 for $200, and had $85 worth of gift cards to the place. 250GB system, Infamous collection, and Uncharted 1&2.

I got my first real paycheck for my new job and it was a LOT more than I was expecting (i really underestimated all the hours I was asked to come in early or stay later), not only did I have enough for all my rent/bills, but I was able to take advantage of some eSales and have a bunch of new computer parts shipping out my way that should be here before my birthday.

I will finally be able to play games with GOOD GRAFIX once again!!! Having a job is so great.

Haha I just did this too, we had some really shitty free internet that I had to deal with constantly dying or slowing down to absurd (700+) pings. My last paycheck was a small one, just a couple of days of work because of when I started compared to when pay was given, but it was enough for me to get a new net and holy shit did I miss actually being able to play games whenever I want.

[Polly]

I am having a very good time being very terrible at playing bass left-handed! It's kinda fun seeing where I am now, botching everything pretty hard, and knowing that even in a few short months I'm gonna be way better. Love inspiring myself by looking forward. (Mental masturbation!)

[Sinue_v2]

So I'm watching this video on Youtube called "The Neurobiology and Mathematics of Consciousness" and at about 15 minutes in the presenter starts talking about the various experiments they did with illusions to try to differentiate the various brain states between conscious and unconscious perception. In one of the experiments they presented the viewer with pictures of nude models, to see just how ingrained the predisposition to notice naked bodies are in our mind. Turns out, that even when the brain is "distracted" so that we don't notice the naked bodies consciously - our brains still take notice.

But here's the really cool part... because the gender of the viewer will skew the results of the tests based on the gender of the image of the naked figure being shown, they controlled for this - and as it turns out, homosexual males respond unconsciously in the same manner and to the same stimulus as straight females (and vice versa to homosexual females responding the same as straight males). Now of course, this point was rattled off without much surprise at the result either by the speaker and the audience... as well it should. We've known for a long time that homosexuality is not a choice.

However, there are still people out there who do believe it is a choice, or that it can be "fixed". Out of context, on it's own, it's an amazing piece of evidence that should be promoted more (if it's not already). It's a definitive proof that should be shoved in the faces of those assholes each time the subject comes up... that homosexual orientations are not a "choice", as what gender you find attractive is definitively made on the subconscious level.

That feeling of being able to walk into a store and buying whatever I want to buy. After months of having to shave with foaming hand-soap and a worn-out razor blade, I finally could afford blade refills and real shaving gel! It was glorious. It's so nice to have a job and some currency inflowing.

Also felt good giving my mom some money for paying bills, too.

IM MAKING A BOOK.
IN FACT I AM ALSO DESIGNIGN A BOOK TOO.

[artistic carreers~~~~]

[Sinue_v2]

Um, not really all that cool I guess, but I got a book for a penny on Barnes & Noble and I didn't get ripped off. Usually they'll make some money back with jacked up Shipping & Handling fees, but since I had to buy another book for an Xmas present anyhow, I could piggyback the two orders and not have to pay extra.

It's called The Great Challenge: The Myth of Laissez-Faire in the Early Republic. It's an academic dissertation that systematically goes through the writings and policies enacted by the founding fathers to demonstrate that they (including Jefferson) were totally on board with building a strong central government that would help manage the economy and build infrastructure in order to strengthen the nation, educate it's citizens, and safeguard our interests from foreign subversion - since private holdings were insufficient to accomplish such tasks. In short, it demonstrates that the founders didn't believe in a totally free market, and could give a shit less about Laissez-Faire capitalism - if not would have outright opposed it. It doesn't cover Thomas Paine though, but I'm not surprised there since there's no need to show his thoughts on the matter. Most people only ever (want to) think of him as a founder when trying to stoke patriotic fervor via Common Sense, but are quick to shove him under the bus (the carriage?) when it comes to works like The Rights of Man and Agrarian Justice.

[Sinue_v2]

I was moving boxes of old LPs (I mean -OLD- LPs... big band era stuff) from the attic to the garage and I found a book wedged in the side the box. It's an old sexual manual/textbook (translated from German) from the 1940's. It's called "How to Attain and Practice the Ideal Sex Life", by Dr. J. Rutgers. It goes into crazy detail on how sex evolved, the function of the organs, dietary effects on performance, and even the cultural significance of a child's first boner in pre-industrial societies... wow. I'm especially interested in the chapter "The coming of Birth Control and Voluntary Motherhood" to see what insights it can give to the time, or predictions it had for today's society in which birth control is cheap and widely available. Though "Control of Sexual Dreams", "Practical use of Suggestion and Hypnosis in Sexual Control", "From Group Relations to Private Affairs", and "Miserable Substitutes for Ideal Sex Satisfaction which are Scorned by Our Generation" sound like they might also be a barrel of laughs.

This is pretty much exactly what I found (http://blogs.sfweekly.com/exhibitionist/2011/10/the_ideal_sex_life.php), except this one has a red cover.

This is amazing... to find the kind of book your grandfather would have been sitting naked on the edge of the bed reading, trying to figure out how to increase his potency and stamina to plow your grandma to a more mind-shattering orgasm. ><' Thankfully it's NOT my grandparent's book (I don't recognize the names penned on the inside cover), but still... it's that kind of book.

http://i510.photobucket.com/albums/s341/magcoffee/geetar_zpsdd597de5.png

She's a 2012 American Telecaster, and I named her Punky Brewster. Also somewhat pictured is her Mexican-born sister, Missy Greenstrat, looking on resentfully.

[CelestialBlade]

Very nice, Jack. You're the only person I know who would have resentful guitars :lol:

[CupOfCoffee]

She knows that Punky Brewster could shred circles around her. But hey, I still like Green Strat. The only real problem with her is that my friend talked me into trying out these massively heavy strings, so she's kind of tricky to play.

[Sayara]

Open up Itunes...
get tegan and sara album.

Todays a good day.
(yesterday i also got my jp ps2. nomore swap failureshit for me!)

[CupOfCoffee]

I'm listening to that album right now! I think they're forever done with stringed instruments, but they've put out enough sequels to "So Jealous" by now that I think I'm okay with that.

[Sayara]

Got me wild is like the greatest song ever. Like its a sequeal to ibet it stung.

[CupOfCoffee]

Yes! That one's my favorite track from the album.

[Wyndham]

That's a neat guitar. I have a black Fender Telecaster. Sadly, I got it before I learned the last two fingers on each of my hands don't work right.

[Anduril]

I think this is the right place for this. First attempt at pan-frying chicken today went surprisingly well. Used a light oil and made sure to put the finished filets on three layers of napkins over a cooling rack, so they were not all that greasy. They had a nice light flavor that wasn't overwhelming; paired it with a salad, no dressing. Proud of myself for not accidentally setting fire to kitchen.

[Sayara]

Yes! That one's my favorite track from the album.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm why aren't we bedtest friends yet!!!?
I only wish they try another outlandish track like arrow. That's. my jam son.

I'm going to blow all of the money I have right now on a 1960 Oldsmobile. That may not sound too awesome to everyone but this thing has some serious potential. My first car was a 1964 Oldsmobile. Ever since that car I've been dying to obtain something similar.

For the last 3-4 weeks I've been fighting with my bank for a loan to buy this car. They have denied me everywhere (granted I have no credit, but have a cosigner with perfect credit). I have now decided to say !@#$ it and spend my hard earned money and live a little tight for the next 3 weeks. Maybe if I run out of money I'll quit smoking... But that's not the point, awesome car is the point.

Stuff has come together for my presentation this month. I finished the last of the visual aides I needed today and the thing I came up with on the drum machine is passable to my ears. Only thing left is the presentation itself. Once that's finished, I can coast until the end of March.

Also got a three day weekend coming up that, outside of a haircut for myself and an oil change for my car, I plan to spend on Solstheim. Huzzah!

Expanding my repertoire: currently attempting my first cake from scratch. Batter was a little thinner than the boxed stuff, but it seems to be baking well.

EDIT ONE: Finished baking. Looks to be fine; might be a little denser than I expected, somehow.

EDIT DEUX: As I noted before it was dense, but very moist. A bit more bitter than expected, but has a dark chocolate taste as a result. Next time, may adjust the amount of cocoa I use, or perhaps use a different brand.

EDIT TRES: Not going to make a new post for this. Scrounged up enough money to buy myself a "new" CPU (just upgrading from a 3 year old Athlon II X2 to a factory sealed Phenom II X4). It let me bump up my settings for PSO2 to shader 5 with no hiccups, slowdown, or overheating, but the stock fan sounds like an engine; can't afford a better one right now, but the only reason I noticed is because my older fan (the one that came with the Athlon) was super quiet, so it's not that big of a deal.

I just killed an interview with Ford, might be stepping into my dream field of automotive engineering very soon! Gonna be hard to leave my current job, but I can't turn down this opportunity. Can't wait to get started and climb that ladder all over again!

[BIG OLAF]

Since the dealership I work at got #1 in the nation for service satisfaction (for Hyundai) this month, the office bought a shitload of pizza, and picked 5 random employees to win a prize on the prize wheel they have in the break room.

I come back from a delivery route to discover that my name was picked, and I won two 4-day Disney passes. Now my mom and I can go, like we wanted, without paying a cent (to get in, at least).

[Outrider]

Awesome! Congratulations!

On a somewhat unrelated note, can you check into something when you go? My cousin just told me today that if you tell any of the actors dressed up as Toy Story characters that "Andy's Coming", they are trained to drop limp to the ground.

If this is true I am not sure if that is awesome or cruel.

[BIG OLAF]

Thank you!

Also, that sounds goddamn hilarious. If I see any employees in Toy Story outfits, I'll try it. I would say it's awesome and cruel at the same time.

Thanks! I've kinda accepted that all jobs are gonna have their high and low points. If you look hard enough at anything you're always gonna find something you hate. It's just having the right mindset, having an overall enjoyment for what you do, and having the drive to take what you want. Even if I'm starting in a fairly introductory environment, I'll be damned if I'm not running a design team in 5-10 years.

But as long as I'm in an environment with some pretty laid-back folks, which a lot of engineering is, I'll be fine. My current job has really shown me that all I have to do to push a position further is to step outside my bounds a bit and prove I can take it, so I'm confident that even if a job isn't what I want it to be at first, I'll mold it into what it needs to be. I try not to make a big deal out of being a female in engineering, especially mechanical/automotive, but it is kinda empowering.

So, instead of straight-up Disney tickets, my work decided to give me a $500 gift card. Even better, since my mom and I wanted to go to Universal Studios more anyway, to check out The Wizarding World of Harry Potter....and even after we spend our day there, I'll still have about $200 left over for whatever.

^ My alma-mater! This was about so much more than a sport, it was about a group of kids that came together around a fallen teammate (if you've heard about the Kevin Ware injury at all) and truly put the team first. Just thought they represented themselves really well and set a new standard for teamwork and brotherhood. Really proud of my university today :) And the ladies' team plays for a championship tonight!

Yeah that is pretty cool. At least you can say that about yours. Mine had that crazy guy from a couple weeks back trying to pull a V-Tech copycat. Oddly enough, I actually lived in the building where that all started when I went there.

Used Kickstarter for the first time to dump some money in to the Shovel Knight game. It looks like a cross between Ducktails and Megaman and that sounded like something I could dig. Only problem is the game is planned for September of this year. That's five months away.

Will soon be a powertrain engineer for Ford, mainly working on the implementation of new heavy-duty engines at the vehicle assembly level as well as solving warranty issues. Could not ask for a better start in my dream career of automotive engineering, especially considering I'll be the first member of a brand new team that I'll basically be making my own eventually.

If you want something hard enough and put in the time and effort, you'll get it eventually. I'm super pumped about this :D

Congratulations! You totally deserve it. You worked your ass off to get there and now it's happening.

I wish more people had this outlook.

[Sayara]

So bla bla game achievements are dumb
but... (http://sayara.tumblr.com/post/47929981816/so)

[Polly]

Jealous yet Polly? :wacko:

Woops, didn't see this till just now...and GOD DAMN IT I hate you so much. xD

Where would one get that? Do they have an Ume design as well, or just Miyako?

[Sayara]

Ami Ami is the place. They have an Ume shirt but it isn't glow in the dark.
They're going to have one with that simular design for all the girls by May. (I think only Miyako is glow in the dark though)

I kinda want the Nazuna one too ._. its a good color scheme!

[Polly]

Yep...The Nazuna one is MY COLOR...but I really hate Nazuna. x(

I like their Ume design, even though I'm not much of a green fan. Ume is too adorable though and I have some outfits it'd work with. ;D Will probably try and snag a Miyako too.

[Ezodagrom]

Will soon be a powertrain engineer for Ford, mainly working on the implementation of new heavy-duty engines at the vehicle assembly level as well as solving warranty issues. Could not ask for a better start in my dream career of automotive engineering, especially considering I'll be the first member of a brand new team that I'll basically be making my own eventually.

If you want something hard enough and put in the time and effort, you'll get it eventually. I'm super pumped about this :D
:O That's really great, congratulations!

I still don't understand how you don't do green when Kasera is ALL GREEN ALL THE TIME :lol: Get da Ume!


:O That's really great, congratulations!
Thanks~ :3

It is also pretty cute. hahaha

Now all i gotta do is wait for the Hidamari Graduation thing, and HoneyComb on us DVD!

[Polly]

It is really weird how she's always been all green all these years. My original, first-day purchase Dreamcast version 1 Kasera actually had blue hair, but a disconnect corrupted her in the early level 20s or so, then I remade her and did green hair instead.

Grabbed a cute little Ume keychain too.

How did HoneyComb turn out by the way? x ☆☆☆ really didn't do much for me due to the introduction of Nori and Nazuna, and the mini-episodes format didn't really gel with me either. I read the manga too, so I understood the choice, but I kinda preferred the longer episodes telling one short story with the interstitial dialog scenes rounding the whole thing out.

[gigawuts]

Metapod?

[Sayara]

It decided to please the fans with stupid amounts of fluffy love.
Like the 3 pairings everyone wants (Yuno/Miya, NazuNori, SaeHiro) are like put into over-drive.

The same mini ep format still happens but it didn't seem as weak as 3 stars. (with the same event happenign every ep)

tldr, I liked it but its not as good as the original 2.
Also it goes in the same order as the manga (vol 5 and 6 mainly)

[Cyron Tanryoku]

I woke up today

[Sayara]

I finally got my painting home and mounted in my office. (http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc1/901919_10152741867715481_591377347_o.jpg)

[Bonjet]

After 1 week without internet, its still my awesome week, why?

- Cleaned the cooler and fan of my laptop with my trustworthy repairer, now my laptop is not experiencing overheat anymore!
- Modified my PSP before my 1 month out-of-town.
- My mother asked me to accompany her to hospital, in the end, I got cash and my mother treat me to eat at KFC.

HELL YEAH!

[Polly]

FZ - Side F came out a couple days ago and I'm absolutely in love with it. Find out this evening that there's another album, FZ - Side Z coming out May 7th. Can't wait to hear it based on how damn good the first one is. ;D

Who’s got two thumbs and delivered over $15,000 worth of car parts (that's a lot) today alone?

I'm tired

[Bonjet]

Last Sunday, me and my mother watched Ironman 3. That movie was HELL AWESOME. I laugh as hell the part about: "LIMITED EDITION WATCH: DORA!" XD

This Thursday, I'm going 1 month out-of-town, my flight is around early morning, so I'm going to pack-up tomorrow and sleep early, so when I arrived, time for outing! :D

Sad to say, but my time for playing video games that time is scarce. :(

But I will enjoy it before my class starts on June! :D

[Azusa]

whats ? shxt? :o

[Tyreek]

So, I got a letter from the hospital I went to. It seems they approved my application for financial assistance(even though they originally stated I was not eligible for any assistance. :P) And whats cool shxt about this? 100% approval. I don't pay a dime.

Almost $7000 of debt gone. That actually makes me smile. Now I need a new job for real.

[Sayara]

Now my other larger scale painting resides in my room next to my other art projects~ <3 (https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/964248_10152811307975481_240392597_o.jpg)

NEW HEADPHONES!

THANKS DAD! ^^

[Polly]

I don't know what kinda super awesome promotion I qualified for with Amazon today, but I snagged Mortal Kombat Arcade Collection and Sonic Racing Transformed both for $0.01 apiece. Go me!

[gigawuts]

Oh MAN.

Shit's going GOOD.

Like REALLY GOOD.

That post I made a bit back about best/worst day of my life? It was delayed until this past week.

Shit's PRETTY GOOD. I don't think it qualifies for worst, on any level. That leaves just one alternative B]

Yes. When i get the hardcopy i'll show off a photograph ~~

Making decent progress in my makeshift weight-loss regiment. Can run at a moderate pace for a good 10 minutes without stopping (gotta stop for a few sometimes 'cuz of my heart but whatever), and I've trained my stomach to get full very quickly.

[ttdestroy]

Finally learned how to save money, I've been terrible at it since I started working. But, in the past year I put away $141 in my savings account. Not alot but I just starting out, I plan to get better.

[Nitro Vordex]

I've pushed past my ex. Thanks, random horoscope, for some tough love.

I also finally have decided where to go with my college. I'm ready to move forward.

Good!
I miss ya Nitro.
Anyway, go to school, whether you think you'll be marrying your current GF, or not!

Never let anyone think they're too good for you to go BACK TO SCHOOL!

Cause, per chances, you'll never be with your GF, or WIFE forever.

So, don't waste time, just do you!

[jooozek]

finally going to a psychiatrist tomorrow, should've gone years ago but well, life isn't as easy

I bought a wii u basic set off amazon for £150. Pretty good deal considering its was the same price as a 4GB xbox 360. Then when I checked the next day the price was back up to normal so decent timing as well :-D

[Palle]

Just checked the Giants schedule, and it will be well over a month before I have to deal with Giants fans on my evening commute again. At that point the season will be all but over.

:beer:

[Outrider]

Earthbound is now available on the Wii U eShop.

Plus, Nintendo has released a digital version of the classic Earthbound Player's Guide that's available for free here: http://earthbound.nintendo.com/

Also, it's $10 for some reason? Also, they didn't do any marketing for it for some reason despite it (sadly) being what is probably Nintendo's biggest release of the summer? Also also also... eh, whatever. It's Earthbound! This is going to be fun.

I'm about a month into doing the Insanity workout. Shit is ba-nanas!

[CelestialBlade]

I'm about a month into doing the Insanity workout. Shit is ba-nanas!
Shit works though, seriously. I do similar interval training (7-minute workout) and it's amazing how fast it gets you in shape. Intense as hell, but once you can really hang with it it works wonders. Keep it up!

[Atbar]

Had a job now for one month. :bday:

[Outrider]

Had a job now for one month. :bday:

Congrats, that's awesome!

[Polly]

Was having a bit of a crumm-o day, then I heard Valve were greenlighting Dive Kick (WOOOOO!), Deadly Premonition: Director's Cut (More people need to play this!), and Shelter (HOORAY!). Now I feel somewhat better!

[Atbar]

Congrats, that's awesome!

Thanks.

[Ketchup345]

I finally got around to removing the parking stickers I've had on my car that both expired over a year and a half ago (one I think even 2 years).

[gigawuts]

So, some time ago I mentioned that I may have one of the best days of my life, or it may wind up being one of the worst day of my life. I wouldn't know for a while.

It's been a while, and based on what's going on lately I'm pretty sure it was one of the best days.

I'm being intentionally vague because the details don't matter so much as the fact that after a long time of something bad there was indeed a light at the end of the tunnel - it was just too far to see for a long time.

Of course everything might still go south, but I don't think it will.

[CupOfCoffee]

It's a three-paycheck month, which means new guitar case finally!

Dude I thought that was a coffin for a split second.

Congratulations!!!

I wonder how many people Bruce Almighty taught how to spell beautiful?

It has to be at least one. At minimum, somewhere on the planet, someone just remembers the line "BEE EE AY YOU-TIFUL" any time they feel like can't remember how to spell it.

Which is pretty cool.

[Mike]

Wasn't expecting to have plans but what the heck. (http://www.pso-world.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=1339&pictureid=37078)

Awesome. Anything in particular you're looking forward to playing/seeing?

[Mike]

I'm hopping to swing by the Sega booth to check out whatever they've got on Nova. Sakai is pretty good at showing up to these kind of things and I've got a question or two to ask him about it. I'm also hoping I can hit up the Falcom jdk BAND performance or at least stop by the Falcom booth. After that, I want to stop by the indie games corner and I think that's it. I've read that there more people expected to attend than previous years so that's enough for one day.

Falcom exists? I only know that name from Vantage Master games and some platformer for Saturn. How are they doing these days?
