Um. Wat? Why would you spoil your dinner like that?

You know you can't have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat!

If no, Little Siblings are always annoying. Sometimes they can be endearingly so, or simply annoying as a catchy song can be annoying.

Nope. Only two in the family, and I was the small, annoying one. :smallsmug:
However I was also cute (Not at the same time as being annoying)

Fantastic game, but it steals time.

Never played Civ. And when I've played games until so late it's early, I've generally noticed myself doing it.

'Tis the season to play Twister, fa la la la la, la la la la.
And in our house the regretting is always of having eaten too much chocolate, and not being done by me.

ION: We finally ran through Ruddigore. Allowing for chorus issues, it's going to be good! Though Dame Hannah somehow managed to break the sword during the Melodrame.

THUFIR'S THE BEAST!

*Hides while the lynch mob goes after him*

Oh, and I was mostly questioning Deth Muncher and Starfol's Boogies. And making excuses to throw a disco party.

You seem to be forgetting that I'm the High Priest. And this is the church lynch mob. We keep it on hand in case we come across heretics.
It may not be composed of actual people so much as generic fictional characters extracted from their books for this purpose.

I'm counting down to Thanksgiving. Sooo close! I love me a nice big turkey, though everyone knows that it's really the stuffing and the pie that steals the show.

Edit: Mostly, I'm counting down to Thanksgiving cause it's the closest holiday to now. Eh, shoot me, the holiday I can't wait for most is the one that is next, at all moments. Unless it's Family Day. I make a point of seeing as little of my family as possible on Family Day *grumbles about politics*

Oh. ;-; But I'm on good terms with Koorly. Sorta kinda in a way.

Admittedly, arial black isn't the hippest font, but meh. Trying to make the best of Apathycorp's biweekly fun ration.

[Rawhide]

This looked awesome, until I saw the price.

[KuReshtin]

I just requested a whole two weeks of holiday leave from work in eary December. Apart from the UKitP meetup the first weekend of my free time, I have nothing planned.
I might just stay at home and not leave the flat for two weeks.

I predict StarCraft and/or CoD:Black Ops overload during those weeks.

[smellie_hippie]

I protest the new thread. Especialy rule #15!!

*stabs Archie*

That is all.

@v Well played good sir. I would point out that everyone else has also ignored this rule...

[Archonic Energy]

heh, i knew you couldn't resist a spoiler...


Especially one from me.

I thought it looked awesome until I saw it was not, in fact, a new type of NES Controller.

I mean, it has a series of D-pads at the top. What did you EXPECT me to think?

Geography question of the day:

Name three countries whose flags does NOT contain either Red, White or Blue.

[Dogmantra]

Libya...

Okay that's one.

Meh, just wait a couple of years. by then keyboards will be obsolete. We'll just telepathically tell the computer what to do.

Or else, the computer will tell US what to do.

That's the most glaring one, considering it's green.
Like. Only green. And nothing else.

I know. It's a good one, isn't it?

[Jack Squat]

There's also Jamaica and Mauritania

Every single finger has a dpad. Think about it for a minute.

The website I was reading got hacked within two clicks of a link. Son of a. . .

[EDIT: A. Only one of my bookmarked sites is down. B. The proportion of folks hosting their own site, instead of cribbing off of a major service like the blog hosts, is down. C. Took down the entire domain, not just the forum.]

And those are the other two I was looking for.

I've had honest guesses from people today both here at work and on FaceBook giving me answers like Ireland, China (really!), Greece, Sweden, Brazil, Germany, Kenya and India.

At least when I posed the question here at work, a budding argument was swiftly diverted and defused.

It's... the ultimate controler? Works on every console except Wii?

You know, I don't think this will actually happen. There's something to be said for the manual feel of typing in every word.

Besides, can you imagine how many typographical errors will appear on the first stream-consciousness word processor?

I was thinking "You can play ten games at once", actually. Which would be pretty cool if you can pull it off.

NEW TOPIC: Name ten games that, if you could play all at once, you would. GO!

[smellie_hippie]

Mario-Cart Wii
Super Smash Brothers Brawl
Fallout 3
Fable 2
Bully
Sly Cooper 3

Last Night On Earth
Arkham Horror
A Touch of Evil

Twister

@v I was tempted to say naked co-ed twister... but refraied for some unknown reason. Oh, I need to have a motorcycle conversation with you at some point Zeb...

Oh hells yes!
Got a mostly-finalised lecture list today.

I have one thing to say:
A four week lecture series on I. R. R. Tolkien is being run this term.
Hell.
Yes.
:extremelylargesmug:

There's other stuff offered too like Introducing the English Bible; Aspects of Medieval Literary Theory; The Economies of Middle English Literature; Learn Old Norse in Eight Weeks; about a dozen Shakespeare classes and -



One of my favourite lectures is running a lectures on The Representation of the Supernatural in Early Modern Drama.
!!
D:
:D
The downside is that it's technically an Mst class.
Should I see if I can sneak in?

But there's one lecture series I'm definitely going to attend.
I. R. R. Tolkien.

You may now be envious.

I'd play I wanna be the guy in then different computers at once.

Hardcore!

[Trobby]

<- Envy mode activated.

D: Ack...all I have to look forward to this week is about 160 pages of long, drawn-out text on Qualitative Interviews. And then writing about the bits in-between.

On the positive side though, for my birthday today I hung out in a nice little deli-type luncheon place with my dad. They make nice sandwiches full of delicious meats and stuff. =3 Though they only had The New York Post for reading, which kind of sucked. <.<; Too much sensationalism, not enough news.

AND there's a new book store in town for used books. In it, I saw my absolute favorite children's book, "The Monster At The End Of This Book". Used to read that as a kid aaaaall the time. It's just such a fun little book. =3

If you could do that AND be effective in each game, I would bow down to your gaming prowess, sir.

For my part, I'd probably pick:

Cave Story
Super Mario Bros 3.
Kirby's Adventure
Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
Metroid Fusion
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Megaman 2
Ristar
Super Smash Bros. (Any)
Minecraft (Recent Bias)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I don't know that book.... I used to read a book about a puppy who always arrived later at home than his brothers. The brothers arrived late and were sent to bed with no dinner, but he got home later and snuck into the kitchen to eat.

Until one day..... SPOILER ALERT! His brothers arrived home early and ate everything. Poor puppy.
