Elemental's Excitingly Excellent Random Banter: No.CLXXVII (177)

[Feytalist]

Yeah, I did that for the release of Throne of Bhaal. I couldn't believe how sucky it was, given that I'd enjoyed it so much previously.

I once picked up the Grandfather whole playing with a Sorcerer. And then I lost my save. Heh.

[LaZodiac]

That's a cheatcode. You normally get to that second quest by finishing the game. You still play as Link.

You play as Link directing Zelda.

I was unaware it was a cheat code, my bad. And yes I know we still play as Link, silly

Totally beat you to the punch there

Nah, I know you said that, but Average Nitsuga still posted that you play as Zelda after you said that.

Ahh, ok.

Well ok there is also a bit at the end of Spirit Tracks where you do technicaly control Zelda solo but I don't think that counts. Though it IS awesome.

[Elemental]

Well, there goes that idea.
Diablo I crashed when I was doing the first quest.

Oh well... There's always Diablo II...

[Mutant Sheep]

Oh, ohhhhh! I have an idea! Just play D 3!

August, AT is in high school. He forgot to put that "junior IN HIGH SCHOOL"part in there.

My computer can not even run League of Legends. Let alone Diablo III.

[Amiel]

I'm tempted to convert an essay into Wingdings and submit that; "It was the computer's fault"

[Feytalist]

Or just act all surprised.

"What, you mean you can't read that?"

You may have noticed that I didn't make my obligatory Panic Post this morning.
That's because I was actually feeling pretty good about this paper. I had a few solid topics, and I was reasonably certain one of my favourite subjects would come up.
Then my brain shut down. Seriously. It didn't wake up until ten o'clock or a little after. I felt it wake up.
This was a wee bit problematic because the exam started at half nine, leaving me with one question that I really wanted to do, but needed to let the quotation percolate in my mind some, and one question that I just knew I could do.
So obviously I wanted to do that one first.
Except the quotation had a lead at the bottom - "Discuss vision OR ignorance". Which was a problem as my brain had shut down and refused to consider 'vision' as anything other than dream visions/prophetic visions and so forth. This had me sitting there, staring dismally at the paper, because while I had material on other things I had a lot that could be discussed and or twisted in being about ignorance.
Then my brain turned on and I realised that in the context of the quotation 'vision' meant sight. With eyes and things.
Once I'd figured that out I was away and happy. I barely even touched on his Tales either.
Dum Kurlee iz dum.

Twelve hours down. Eight and a quarter to go.

At least I got a lunch date in just under an hour.

You want to play D3 and hope it doesn't crash?

Ha. Ha ha. >.>

...don't get me wrong, I love the game, I've got 30something hours played already, but this launch is godawful. =3

[LaZodiac]

Wow, comedy can go suck a railroad spike.

Mom told me

Was going to complain about how technicaly good information from Mom mixed with bad timing of things, but then got told something that made me realize its kind of insignifigent,

[HalfTangible]

30 more days and I can try the trial...

JUST. 30. DAAAAAYSSSS...

[Qwertystop]

My school has a tradition of a "Senior Prank".

This year, all the seniors covered the benches in the lobby in plastic wrap, and fenced off an area of the lobby with plastic wrap in which to have a loud-music party before school started.

What. Honestly, that's pathetic. They should have used bubblewrap and done all the floors.

[Feytalist]

So now, once again thanks to xkcd, I've learnt something new: There's a dinosaur named after Hogwarts.

This is what happens when you let children decide important things.

[Rawhide]

So, another bout of DOTA 2. This time, two of our players quit right at the start! Leaving us with 3 v 5.

Story spoilered for length.

We won anyway. Darn, I wish those stats were recorded.

Don't you ever lose, or are your losses simply not interresting enough to mention?

[AtlanteanTroll]

You should not treat them, only impress yourself upon them through acts of grandiosity.

I like this idea far more than I should.

This makes no sense, I'm one year older than you and I'm a freshman.

As Sheepy pointed out, I meant a junior in high school.

And we also try to be good to students in lower grades. At least... Most of us did.

Well, I don't plan on being horrible to them ... Back when I was a freshman I wasn't bullied per se, but the 12th graders when I was in 9th were just ... *******s. *******s is a good word for it. Anyway, I swore to myself that'd I'd be nice to the underclassmen when I was a senior. Not a week into sophomore year I found myself pretty annoyed with the new freshman. Bumbling fools. But they grew on me, or at least some of them. Probably somewhere around 20 or so. This year only about 10 of the freshmen have managed to not annoy me. I am infuriated by both classes in general though. I'll probably just ignore the new freshmen.

EDIT: Huh. Didn't think that word was banned.

Just remember.
Everyone younger than you is an idiot, and everyone older than you is pointlessly hidebound to their own opinion.

[AtlanteanTroll]

I'm pretty sure you aren't 17, so why should I trust you?

[wadledo]

I'm pretty sure you aren't 17, so why should I trust you?

Exactly. I'm far to hidebound in my own opinions.
But you're far to foolish to listen to me anyway.

[LaZodiac]

I have a job interview in five houuuuuurs oh man.

[DraPrime]

Just remember.

Indeed. Of course, since Wadledo and I are older than you AT, you really should disregard this as false, and thus you should believe that those who are older than you are right. So remember, to believe that we are right, believe that we are wrong. Yes.

[AtlanteanTroll]

Exactly. I'm far to hidebound in my own opinions.
But you're far to foolish to listen to me anyway.

This seems like a bit of a Catch 22.

You'll do fine. Unless you choke horribly. And even then.

[Rawhide]

Don't you ever lose, or are your losses simply not interresting enough to mention?

Of all the games it has recorded, I have 4 wins and 1 loss. The game I just played would have made the 5th win, but it wasn't recorded due to early abandonment. That 1 loss was the very first game I played, where I was throughly trounced. I went away with my tail between my legs to lick my wounds, then practice up on botmatches for quite a while (stats for these are not recorded either, but the win to loss ratio wasn't that good at the start...) before returning to the fray.

Since returning to regular, non-botmatches, I haven't lost yet. But I don't think this has anything to do with skill, I'm a total newb, but rather luck and good teamwork.

Just remember to breathe in and breathe out and you'll do great. Good luck!

[fergo]

Just remember to breathe in and breathe out

...and shake it all about!

Wait, how did that song go again?

[LaZodiac]

Thanks, I'll keep it in mind.

Two hours or so left. Wish me luck everybody.

[DraPrime]

I second this notion. I once shook all about throughout my whole job interview at the asylum, and it got me the job. They even gave me an office with these cool padded walls that I could bounce off of if I wanted to. Good times.

In other news, it's been a long time since I used this avatar, hasn't it?
