Eon, how long did it take you to go through and copy my entire signature? I'm kinda embarrassed about that...

ION: Rewatched Prince of Egypt today! It was awesome. Dreamworks doesn't make movies like they used to...

Well, it took me 6 or 7 tries to get it right if it makes you feel better. And why would you be embarassed?

ION: Rewatched Prince of Egypt today! It was awesome. Dreamworks doesn't make movies like they used to...

Great animation. Kind of lackluster plot and voice acting in my opinion, though.

We got the new air conditioner today. It has a mood where it KICKS ON AND OFF. I'm in the lap of luxury. But I also think I have a cavity in my favorite tooth. Man.

[MoonCat]

I don't know what you are talking about.

Yes you do!

He copied your signature? Impressive. Why be embarrassed?

[Blue Ghost]

Yes you do!

All right, I admit it is impressive. Why am I embarrassed? ... I don't know.
I'm fine with people going through my stuff in-depth, as long as I don't know about it. Strange quirk I have.

But...but... we learned Moses' last name! His full name is Moses Moses! (middle initial is M for Moses too) And he had a wife! Not to mention the way where the Pharoah and Moses being brothers is well, MENTIONED AND EXPLORED. But the voices kinda sucked. "Oh boy, its the comedically stupid high priests! And their voiced by comedians! How funny!" Yeah I'm ripping off the Nostalgia Critic. Everyone does it!

To be fair, they were meant to be charlitans, and what is more fakey thn comedianss with silly voices?

Also, I like the contrast between the Dreamworks and Live Action movies. ANGRY GOD FIRE vs HAPPY GOD MIST.

Ah, I hate people going through my room. Being in here, I'm fine with. Digging around or looking for stuff is grounds for Nerf sword attacks.

I haven't watched Prince of Egypt in such a long time. Shame, I liked that movie.

ION: I just added a girl from my 4H camp to my Skype contacts. Now I have a whopping two contacts! Whoo! (The other one is Blue Ghost)

I was your first contact? Seriously?

[Cobalt]

Cobaltday is over, and I have successfully avoided choking on cake, pie, pizza, foodstuffs, small objects, computers, handhelds, televisions, childrens' dreams, and all of the usual merriment that occurs on the aging of a Cobalt has finished without incident. Read: Merriment was very minimal.

Though I did have to register for school today. Which mostly means I'm finally seeing familiar faces, as I drop off radar completely over summer break. Though not much seems to change in the two months I don't talk to anyone...

Only now I know that I'm not having one of my favorite teachers after all for the coming year... Sad Cobalt...

[Ranger Mattos]

I was your first contact? Seriously?

Yes. Why?

[Heliomance]

This is because the story arc was done so well, the fanfic writers don't notice he is a man. Fanfic writers tend to be stupid, if my understanding is correct.

As a burgeoning fanfic author, I think I should take offense at that.

Also, the reason all the fanfics have Haku as a girl is not because the authors don't realise she's a guy, but because the character design is clearly that of a girl. Not only that, but in Shippuden, an adult female turns up at one point and until it's explained, we're obviously supposed to think it's Haku. She turns out not to be, in the end, but I think it's telling that they chose a female to make look like her.

Besides which, we only have Haku's word on it that she's male. She could be, y'know, lying. Maybe she thinks Zabuza wouldn't accept her as a girl. Who knows?

There's no inherent problem with making Haku a girl in a fic. There is a problem with just ignoring the bit where she says she's male, but if you explain it adequately it's fine.


...that was a longer rant than I expected to go on. Huh.

[Teddy]

Anyway, I forget. Are you home yet? Also, how are you doing Teddy?

Forgetful LaLa is forgetful.

Yes, I'm at home, and have been so for half a week or so. Sadly, my brothers are blocking our stationary computers all day long, so I haven't found a gap in which to Inkscape. I could install it on this tablet of mine, but I'm not sure I want to do drawing with a thumbpad (the pen is just bulky when I need to access the keyboard).

@Eon:
Your java code is faulty. System.out.println() is written with a small 'p'. Don't worry, though. I've also written faulty code in my signature.

[ellna]

I've reached home and slightly recharged my batterries. Now all I need is to do something today. The boat was delayed. My train involved a trip on a bus due to no service. And my halfway stop had an hours walk pulling my luggage in the rain. But finally I am HOME yay. The sofa never felt so good.

[DraPrime]

I've heard that all the food in France is ridiculously expensive. Is this true?

Well...yes and no. France is in general expensive, partly due to the Euro. However, when you consider the cost of food in the context of everything in France, then the price of the food fits pretty well into the whole way of life here. Though I will admit that I miss Prague where I could buy a full delicious meal for a mere ten bucks.

Any recommendations in case any of us ever end up eating there?

Well so far I've only been in Lyon. There pretty much any of the restaurants on Rue St. Jean are fantastic. Just pick one with an empty table and enjoy.

ION: Rewatched Prince of Egypt today! It was awesome. Dreamworks doesn't make movies like they used to...

Oh man, I haven't seen that one since it came out in theaters. I remember it looking totally awesome. I really should watch it again.

But...but... we learned Moses' last name! His full name is Moses Moses! (middle initial is M for Moses too) And he had a wife!

Him having a wife isn't all that surprising. Jochebed and her father are mentioned a couple times throughout Exodus. As for the brothers...well it's implied in the original account. I don't know why it's explored. Maybe because fire is raining from the sky, and that's just too cool to distract from with family issues.

[Skeppio]

While playing with Inkscape, I've learned something. I'm a big fan of 'appearances are deceiving'. I'm big on doppelgangers, lycanthropes and other shapeshifters and a lot of the creatures I draw are monstrous, even aberrant beings that are actually pretty nice people when I give them character.

I've also found a LOT of creatures that are hard to recreate in OOTS style.

...that was a longer rant than I expected to go on. Huh.

First of all, gonna say that I'm sorry for generalizing fanfic authors. I should of specified bad ones. HOWEVER, it appears that my comment triggered you, so I've got a lot to respond to, which means that in the end it was a success. Yay!

Not denying Haku looks like a chick. And not surprised they would use her design for a chick. However, and this may just be me, but I think the design is actually meant to be adrongyneis (however you spell this, I forget ).

If that was the case...well, it certainly would be hilarious. "I am a straight girl, but this Zabuza guy, I love him, but he wears cowboy esque, near assless chaps, so he might be gay, so I'm going to pretend to be a dude". That really is the most ridiculous topsy turvy type of story ever. And I like it.

And yha, explaining it adequitely would make it more sensible. Again, sorry for generalizing up there. We can atleast all agree that Haku, one way or the other, is the Ultra Trap

Ahh, ok. Sorry about that Teddy, I can be a BIT forgetfull

EDIT: Before I forget, SKEPPIO! Just a reminder, I said you can talk to me whenever you want. Just making sure you remember

Gah! I knew I'd make a mistake somewhere. That's what I get for trying to program again after 3/4 of a year or so.

[LaZodiac]

So, a news update about my mail order situation! Good news, Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3 HAS been shipped, and just hasn't arrived yet. The 8th is the last day on it's ETA, so it should be here soon.

With the other game, Catherine, there was SOME bad news, specificly Amazon couldn't FIND the game+preorder bonus+collector's edition. Good news, they ended up finding it, hooray! Bad news, eta Auguts 16th. But yha, in the end, everything is turning up roses.

Who mants to make a bet that something sour will happen?

That's what I heard.

You definitely should watch Prince of Egypt again! It's beautiful!

I thought his wife was Zipporah, and Jochebed was his mother?

[polity4life]

So Earth Defense Force: Insect Armaggedon is waiting for me on my porch at home, right now. For those who don't know of the game, or the series, it concerns an alien invasion of earth. To augment the conventional invasion force, the aliens decide to take some of the local fauna, super-size it, and then send swarms to attack cities. Their choice of creatures: Ants, wasps, ticks, and spiders.

Now I played EDF 2017 and it was a little creepy, especially when a giant bug came at you from behind and just took up the whole screen. The bugs were pretty realistic in appearance, though the spiders seemed more like large, big-headed ticks than spiders.

Now, oh man. The spiders look for serial like wolf spiders. The spiders in 2017 were about the size of a house. Now they're a little smaller but way more realistic, and therefore creepy. As a bonus, they made a really big one that just loves to charge at the player and spurts ticks out at you if you shoot it.

My friends love to play this game with me and hear my shrill screams of fright when a monster arachnid lands in front of me to give my relatively tiny soldier man a kiss. They also like to remind me that I'm missing my man card because of this game.

[DraPrime]

Hmmm, I misread the wikipedia article. Well...a seminarian got something that simple incorrect. This is a tad bit embarrassing.

It happens. I only remembered Zipporah was the wife because of that bizarre inn story...

This one. It's weird.

Also: Boil water. No ramen. Cue rage.

Today, I have seen true wrestling. Wrestling done well. Wrestling done with skill.

Wrestling involving a 9 year old girl.

Trust me, it's worth the watch. Better then pretty much all recent day american wrestling.

Who the hell is the pig faced idiot fighting her? And why does it look faked?

[LaZodiac]

That "pig faced idiot" is the champion, Kenny Omega. It looks faked because it's wrestling, MoonCat, and hate to break it to you but wrestling IS fake. However, this is MUCH better then american wrestling.
