  1. Keep thinking I might want to try Payday2... but I'd have nobody to really play with. Although I am a member of SomethingAwful now, who've been hanging with me in Titanfall (Gen 4 baby!) so I guess I'd find friends through that.
  2. Soo... watched Star Trek movies/reviews... And am now playing Star Trek Online quite a bit. *cries as cryptic beats him with lashes*

    Easter

    And this is my birthday this year.
  4. Was planning to do school work today, but then I got a massive migrane so I've been trying to fight that off.
  5. I've only gotten to level 13/15 on my characters (I don't play that much)
  6. Champions is something I only flirt with in down time... if somebody pokes me in game (@calaxprimal or steam if I'm not in game) I'd probably hang with them but as it is I mostly jump in and do alerts. I played the beta and got to the final island in 3 days I think. Ultimately though the melee classes don't have enough "umph" to make me really feel like superman (or superboy in this case as I just netflixed the entirety of the first season of Young Justice). Been poking stick of truth with a stick... A pile of titanfall, uninstalled Diablo3 again because I can't handle that game very long (got to nightmare difficulty on my demonhunter and didn't want to drop 50 bucks on the xpac). Tidbits of WoW here and there, and may start a game of Ground Zero.
  7. started yutzing and putzing around in Champions Online... doesn't scratch my Itch to play an EM/EA brute/scrapper in City of Heroes though.
  8. Been feeling depressed and unwanted recently.
  9. I thought he was on bad terms with the WWE after "The self destruction of the Ultimate Warrior" video they released.
  10. Apparently there were riots last night on campus for veisha (the school festival). It's only tuesday...
  11. So... went to work... On my way home saw a piece of lawn furniture on fire, and somebody who'd gotten so drunk they were totally passed out (and being tended to by firemen).
  12. True, but then these stories haven't ever really gone out of style. In fact they've been making a resurgence recently and it's just getting tiring. Add on top of that the rather hefty pile of political nonsense that they're tossing at you about domestic spying, internet foot prints and that this character from WW2 (supposedly the "greatest generation") basically saying that what they're doing is un-american, and it feels a bit to much like they're looking at the audience going "EH!? YOU GET IT RIGHT!? EH EH EH!?"
  13. I was more aiming at the point that Nick Fury (an ostensibly "good" guy) is saying that he's perfectly ok with the idea of punishment before the crime and that it's perfectly ok to domestically spy on EVERYONE in the name of safety. To me it pushed things a bit to far even if I thoroughly enjoyed the entire rest of the show.

    Hoops 13-14

    At least we were beat out by the eventual victors of the tourney
  15. Can I just call it the "NSA is Bad Mmmm'k" Movie? I realize SHIELD is always going to have that sinister edge to it, but the level they take it to between this and Avengers is just ridiculous.
  16. A bit of Diablo 3. Saw so many people playing it I decided to give it a shot, but I don't think it'll be worth it to get the expac. Kessen 2 because the game could make a really good bad movie. Dynasty Warriors 8 Complete for the PS4. Because of awesome.
  17. Whelp, got my birthday shindig setup. Just hope I didn't get in over my head because they didn't actually tell me any prices but meh.
  18. My school today sent out a mass email saying that to be in accordance with the law, they had to inform is that a student got sexually assaulted in the dorms. What bugs me is we got nothing like the for when the cops opened fire on somebody on campus.
  19. for the record, my three squads of consripts were alive at the end of that engagement, and out repairing the damage the T34 was taking.
  20. This is a good skill to have

    Hoops 13-14

    got to 5 at the 30 second mark. And that's the game... They finally learned how to shoot again at the end of the game.

    Hoops 13-14

    What's really odd is that IA State is at 1/4th of their total average points (a little less than that actually) for an entire game.

    Hoops 13-14

    Seems like we (IA State) are rushing things to much and not properly doing plays. There seems to always be a lot of blue at the rebounds.
  24. Gonna stop ya right there kiddo. If anything the republicans in congress wanted us to get into Syria, NOT the President. You didn't see Obama standing there next to two known terrorists and saying "we should support these guys" (That was McCain btw) and the "tricky diplomacy" you cite is one for the Chemical weapons that Obama was slow to act on in the first place (their use anyway). And Libya he didn't start. That was the consulate being attacked and then a popular uprising against Quaddaffi's regime. It WAS NOT some sort of inside job/false flag op to get us to go scrambling into Libya, and at best all we've done is impose a no-fly zone over the area (which G. H.W. Bush didn't have happen over Iraq after 1991's war which led to Saddams control of the region continuing.... I **** you not), and Skippy? that no-fly zone was UN santioned. Also right now Libya has 0 control as a nation because of the uprising in 2011 and is a bit of a lawless spot. Now HOW THE **** did you think that Obama was a warmongering yahoo that wanted to go to Syria and had us "fighting a war" in Libya? Mr. Obama is the commander in chief of the U.S. Military, not Mr. McCain. McCain can warmonger all he wants, and does, but Obama calls the shots. interesting /= tricky. Please do not misquote me. I refer to a number of different things involving a number of different countries when I say 'interesting diplomacy'. It's interesting because those pushing for overt military intervention in Syria (the Obama administration indeed was doing this and there are numerous articles as well as videos proving this that you've apparently not watched/read or just ignore (though it was pretty hard to ignore Kerry)) were thwarted, and that doesn't happen too often these last couple decades. Ukraine/Crimea marks the second major diplomatic setback to Anglo-American hegemony in the last couple years, Syria the first. Russia and Putin had a hand in both, moreso in the second of course. There was no popular uprising in Libya. It was a coup sponsored by some members of NATO (the US being one), and only succeeded due to military intervention by some of those members. The U.N. sanctioning something does not make it legal or right. Really, you have to ignore a lot of things to not think Obama got us involved in Libya or realize that his administration was pushing to go into Syria as well. And whether or not France was involved (and they were) has nothing to do with Obama committing U.S. forces to the invasion of a nation. Nor does what some republicans such as McCain bliabbling about have anything to do with the actual action of committing to military force. Nevermind that Obama committing military in the invasion of another nation without congress's explicit authorization is unconstitutional, though he is not the first president to overstep those bounds he did overstep them, and yea that is impeachable if congress was going to actually do it's job (something it doesn't do too often for better and worse). Half of what you wrote is incoherent by the way. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume it's due to those ****** you stuck in there. Try not to swear so much. I get really ticked off when you give vague generalities and then just blindly ignore the truth and context in order to promote your personal narrative. Your entire argument strategy appears to be either "Well the founders didn't intend it that way! Read [insert founder text here] and see for yourself!" which is utterly asinine as the meanings and discussions found within those texts are STILL debated by PhD's, to somehow suggest that they're the magical word of God, unassailable by any man, and will always have the same meaning no matter who reads them, would be to throw out half the point of the Supreme Court and ignore the fact that, wa-hay! the USA has advanced technologically at an astounding pace and the assumption that we need certain things may be outdated. In this instance Obama was pretty obviously reluctant to actually send in troops to Syria (which we haven't done) and it's his administration that found a way for us to not actually openly attack them (like he said he would if the use of chemical weapons was found). And in Libya, DESPITE BEING OPENLY AND DELIBERATELY ATTACKED he still hasn't put boots on the ground despite having the political backing to do it pretty easily. Instead he enforced a UN no-fly zone which you may not view as "right" but it certainly is Legal. And yet you are still using both of these situations to say "Well that thar Obama Feller is certainly one heck of a warmonger". If he were actually the Warmonger you think he is, we'd be seeing our army on the ground in Libya to "restore order" and we'd be bombing the crap out of the Syrians claiming to support the rebels. All he's been doing is attempting to survive politically in the face of a republican party (and media apparatus) that is screaming bloody murder to go in and shoot somebody.
