Do ALL baby have blue whites-of-the-eyes-whose-name-i-forget?

Portal 2 fans, come here.

I don't know what to say

<SQUEES>

Well, I just showed it to my mother. She immeadiately freaks out and starts swearing at the computer and YouTube and freaking out, incredibly angry, because it autoplayed when she has it set not to do that. She didn't even listen to the song.

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

... fun times, Mooncat.

Well, hopefully I'm going to a party this thursday. Only, it's probably in the park, and it's cooooold.

You can set YouTube to not autoplay? Where?

Yeah...

No idea. Flahsblock something? I'd ask my mother, except she'd probably shoot me.

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

Quick google search says there's a Firefox add-on that stops Youtube autoplay.

Wow...

The beeping is the difficult part. The rest is just singing in.... Italian? I think?

I WANT TO SEE THEIR SHEET MUSIC.

Also, now I have that stuck in my head again. I suppose it's been several months since the last time.

Yes, it's that song. From Portal 2. That's not the point! IT'S BEUTIFUL!

Heh, I just keep getting Want You Gone in my head.

[The Succubus]

I can't see the video at work - is the aria? Because that song is frigging beautiful and anyone that doesn't have a gaping void where their heart is will be moved by it. <3

[Borgh]

...that melee is for insane people...

TIL I am insane.

Superior Dwarven broadsword of frost woohoo! I can now kill most things in one swing and sometimes get a lucky decapitation on the ones that I don't.

[Feytalist]

I had always thought pure spellcasting was for insane people, but then I read a bit about spell-chaining, which boosts your magic effectiveness by about 400% with very little extra mana investment. And then it was on, heh.

I think about 70% of babies have blue eyes at birth, but my numbers might be a bit off. As for blue on blue, I think you might have them confused with fremen

[LaZodiac]

The general strategy, since Daggerfall to now, is to become the Archmage, and become the head of the Thieves Guild. You are effectively god at that point.

Even more so in Skyrim, since

Nocturna grants you the ability to be permanently invisible in shadow and you can get a 200% Magicaka Recharge rate by doing the Archmage questline

Well, I just showed it to my dad. He commented upon how the vid wasn't them singing, called it 'kitchty', and said the 'the music was okay though. not great, but okay'.

WHAT THE **** IF UP WITH MY FAMILY??!?!?!?!?!

I haven't even played Portal 2 yet (I repeat, I cannot wait to get my new laptop), and that's totally amazing.

yeah, I know. This is just terrible.

What's "up" with them is that they don't have the same tastes as you do. This doesn't make them Bad People, it just makes them different!

I'm with Factotum here, you're over reacting.

[Mutant Sheep]

What they said. I think it's barely acceptable as something I would be OK listening to. (This means I rate The Barbie Girl song in G-Major above it. As in, "thing I would listen to for 10 hoursnonstop".)

ION: Why are SO. MANY. GAMES coming out? Gears 3, MW3, Kirby, Skyward Sword... that other one everyone talks about I'm not interested-in... SO MANY AUGH.

Don't forget about Generation and Arkham City. (Yes, they're already out, shush.)

ION: I made Call Back (which means I know I got cast). Heh, I wasn't even going to try out ... And best of all, I'm pretty sure I'm just going to get someone in the ensemble who manages a few lines, as opposed to a solo.

@ Trag: I'm fairly positive this means I get to do Kansas City.

Great week. Best I've had in a long time.

Well, on the one hand I would certainly say that is a very strange reaction, although understandable with someone who is having difficulty with the tech. What does your dad mean by kitchty? Does he mean catchy? I see what your dad means, it does look like they might not be singing it (although IDK & IDC).

'Kitchy' as in sort of cheesy (the vid and the singers).

I don't think they're "Bad People", and I'm not overreacting, I'm just using capslock to signify my emotional state being one of frustration. Or would you prefer I use smiles instead of words in order to show my state of emotion? Because I can. This is how I feel with my parents reaction:

[Worira]

Explanatory statement: This is an Elcor forum.

Sympathetic reply: I'm sorry you feel that way.

I would call frustration at a difference in taste an over reaction. I also wouldn't read your reaction as frustrated. Capslock (in my mind) means two things: Intense rage and a poor placement of fingers.

And smilies are totally much more expressive/poignant.

No, frustration at their not even paying attention to the song. If you had read my posts thoroughly, my mom didn't even pay attention to the song, and my dad said it was okay. The point is they were completely ignoring the song in favor of other stuff, not that they didn't like it. That's why I'm frustrated.

[AtlanteanTroll]

I suppose that makes sense. The wise thing to do (in my mind) is to wait and show it to your mom again later.

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

yeah, I know. This is just terrible.

Well, I thought it was basically meh. Nothing really worth being excited about...

Far out, man. Everything's up to date in Kansas City. They've gone about as fer as they can go.

Well, I thought it was basically meh. Nothing really worth being excited about...

Likewise.

This, though. I really like that.

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

Oh yeah, I said I would update people about my Cambridge adventure thing? I got an email back a few days ago saying I didn't get in. Which I was expecting, really. The odds were tooooooo long.

I actually think you already said that.
