Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101

[Volug]

Looks like someone hacked the Gamecube version...

I know, if you thought I didn't.

Makes me want to figure out how and do it to my copy...

And wonder how long till hackers do it to Brawl.

Man I haven't slept for 16 hours in years

So is anyone else, not exactly looking forward to school starting up again? I still have to read all quiet on the western front, and theres only 22 days or so left.

That is a very good book. One of my favourites.

[The Bushranger]

Speaking of good books, has anyone else here read My Side of the Mountain?

[Jack Squat]

I remember reading it in 6th grade I think...I did enjoy it, that and Hatchet.

Never read the sequels though.

Eh, stuff like that can be done with Action Reply or similar. They are basically programs that allow you to edit the memory of the game as it is stored in RAM. For example, they are often used to cheat by finding say, the health bar and constantly setting it to 100 several times a second.

Indeed. All Quiet on the Western Front is fantastic. A pretty good movie was also made out of it, except for the end.

[zeratul]

Anyone know if it's a quick read? Not necessarily in terms of actual length but does it drag along, or do you get into it really easily?

[DraPrime]

Well I was able to get into it emotionally very easily. It doesn't exactly have a gripping plot or anything like that. It's just got a lot of power to it. I managed to get through it in a single day.

Never known how one works... Hmm...

I used my friends for the DS, it's.... For cheaters

I fell right in. Dragonprime is right, in that it's more about the milieu than the plot, but the atmosphere is haunting.

[zeratul]

Ah Cool, I'll read it soon. I've been reading the gunslinger, which is great but can be really hard to get into.

[Phase]

Oh noes! School in like two weeks!
But I have school-like classes atthe AMNH next week. Cool.

Last time I read All Quiet on the Western Front, it immediately followed Sharship Troopers. That was an interesting experience; I suspect that that would pretty much be the definition of Comparative Literature.

[randman22222]

NooooO! Meaning in life is lost! Drop bears don't actually exist.
Oh who'm I kidding, they exist in my mind.

In other news, I had a dream with catmuffins in it last night.

[TFT]

You know, I have to wonder, with American students' summer vacations ending, is anyone else starting to get a bit bored? Its nearing the end of summer, and at least for me there doesn't seem much left to do. Though I will be distracted this week, and the week after next school starts already (at least for me.)

[Tempest Fennac]

What did that dream involve, Randman? I've had a lot where I've been posting in HALO or chatting on IM (sadly I can;t remember what happens in these dreams).

[randman22222]

I don't remember much, but there were two catmuffins, and they were like pets or something.

[Tempest Fennac]

That sounds surreal. Would they class as mammals or bakery products in this case?

[happyturtle]

It's day four of the migraine! Woohoo! I'm completely delirious!

[Shadow]

*munches the catmuffins and ruins your dreams*

[Rawhide]

Psst, name changes for existing name change requests will resume shortly, pass it on.

[randman22222]

Of what administative black magicks speaketh thou?

[Rawhide]

Of what administative black magicks speaketh thou?

I've gone through and completely tidied up and organised the name changes already performed (which was as much work per person as changing them in the first place!) to the point that someone other than WampaX or myself can do it, I've also written a procedure for just that.

Roland St. Jude will be taking over as the primary name changer soon.

[Volug]

Of what administative black magicks speaketh thou?

Black Magicks are nothing without white, and possibly green if white and/or Black Magic doesn't have it.

Red Magic for the win.

[randman22222]

Tea. Is there anything it can't do?

Headache gone, thanks to some good ole sun tea.

[Thufir]

Headache gone, thanks to some good ole sun tea.

Well, if you plug a finite improbability generator into it...

[randman22222]

Hmm. Is it very strange that I suddenly want a drive taser (non-ranged taser)?

[Ego Slayer]

AIM 6.5 question! D:

What with this forced upgrading bullcarp AIM is pulling, I have to use 6.5 now and I'm stumbling around Settings, clueless. How do set it so that the buddy list doesn't squish whatever is on the screen when it's open?

Smudge is officially a Magnificent Barstud.
She knows my sleeping pattern and changing positions perfectly which is why when I wake up I'm lying on my right side on the last four inches of the right side of the bed. I can't turn over to my left for cat and if I move to my right I hit the floor.
So that also means I've managed to perfect the art of turning on a sixpence.

Evil, ebil cat. But so beautiful.
