  1. Alan since your "mages r gud early game" post I've been wondering how the class balancing is so far. For instance, if say I wanted to make a character that was heavy into ranged bows/crossbows would I be gimping my party by choosing a legolas type? Indulge us please.
  2. You're a real masochist you know that? You should take a break Shryke because even though I deeply hate you, I worry about you pal. I have two exams next week; Tuesday and Thursday. I should be doing nothing but studying this weekend but I have no motivation anymore. I believe I But alas I have no choice, if not for myself then for the second study session with my current hopeful love interest. I suppose maybe I'll ask her out but I don't have any great ideas. I'm so boring and essentially do no outside activities that it's kind of tough to come up with something. I would do coffee but I have nothing to talk about, comedy would be great except it could be controversial and I'll laugh at a rape/racist/etc joke, any kind of physical activity isn't awesome becuase I sweat enough just standing around and then there's my friend's concert where he's playing with reel big fish but to subject her to ska music for a prolonged period would be inconsiderate and probably break the Geneva convention, not to mention I'm not even a fan. I suppose I'll just have to figure it out on the fly.
  3. I decided a while ago I was going to get this game and the video did not disappoint. It does look really freakin hard though but I think that was more the guy having a sub par build and being a mage early game. Easy mode for me.
  4. I have to agree with GD. I've actually been in a school where someone cross dressed or at least tried to becuase I think he ended up leaving. It definitely creates an uproar and unneeded madness in the student body. You should follow the rules, which include social norms. I've actually read quite a bit of these stories coming out of the UK but it was mostly how dumb the faculty were in that they wouldn't tell the students anything so when Chris suddenly vanishes without a trace and Christina shows up in his seat the next year, both of whom have a striking resemblance, the kids figure it out and then the kid is tormented. I mean the kid would still get tormented either way but if you at least let them get the first word out instead of kids gossiping and making stuff up, then perhaps there would be an ounce of sympathy, though maybe that's a little unrealistic. Either way its not natural and its not right in school. Do whatever you want on the weekends.
  5. lol at watching shonen anime? Reading the mangos are infinitely better.
  6. so..., when do you get to have sex with her?
  7. :'( but its too hard
  8. ilvuwals Today I went to the study group. It was basically a complete and utter waste of time, we only covered 1 chapter. The other dude showed up but of the 3 hours we were there he was gone like more than half of it so I got a lot of time to talk to the girl. She's 2 years older than me which isn't ideal but I don't think it would be an issue. Unfortunately I've yet to discover if she's taken or if she's even interested, in fact the more time goes on I think she might just be a friendly person. So depressing. However, she did say that she could probably get me a job as an internal auditor where she works even though I'm no where near graduation which is cool.
  9. They have a second season coming up very soon I believe. I thought it was relatively solid but mostly warm memories of cat episode kept me in the game. I don't remember what happened but I recall the end being confusing and lame. Though I didn't forget about the chick undergoing loli-fication from time manipulation.
  10. Yeah I'm hoping Cho nails her and becomes her babies daddy but I think given her flashfoward that happens and he dies which is why she's crying at the sonogram. However, I think Cho will live. I believe in him and will never let him go. never. ;_; And black guy saving the fat dude drowning in the bathroom was pretty funny.
  11. I would post in the other thread but I'm not reading all 13 pages, however, I hardly see a fully legitimate complaint there. The fact that they made the character male is becuase its based on the Bond/Bourne formula and having a female lead would ruin the integrity of the vision. Just becuase something isn't marketed/made for you doesn't automatically mean Obsidian is misogynist, racist, or anti-gay. I suppose you'd call Dickens a dirt bag becuase david copperfield has a ****? I understand your tired of playing Males in video games but the fact of the matter is its a male dominated industry and although women make up a good portion of the gaming population, they mostly play The Sims and handhelds which is probably why women are often dismissed. Not to mention the resources to fully render/animate/story change/etc might not be in the cards for Obsidian. It's not like they are doing it to directly piss you off. They are making the game they want to make and it happens to have a male at the helm. If you don't like it start up your own game business and market to women. Good luck. Edit: isn't paenus like the medical term for male genitalia and why does it automatically turn into ****? I have a serious problem with that. I feel like I've been slighted because I'm a man. Blah blah blah. Edit: now iv become one of them by ridiculing your argument.
  12. I saw something on tv about it and threw it on my weekly watching list. As long as you don't have to know anything about stargate I'll check it out.
  13. I watched the premiere as well last week and thought it was solid. The cast is likable, the lead is good and it has John Cho and the black FBI manager dude. The only problem I have is I read the synopsis and thus spoilers of the book and if it's anything like that I'm not sure I'll be sticking around for the ending. Luckily though, from what the first episode has shown I think its more of a re-imagining of the book by stealing the original premise and changing everything. Which I think is a good idea.
  14. Tonight I had a odd workout with a friend. I hadn't seen him in about two months and considering he's the only friend I have left I thought it might be a good idea to text him out of the blue. I decided it was important that we do squats, even though he's kind of new to lifting. His first set was horrible but the second was actually pretty good, however, that's when it happened. He sort of ambled off to the side and just stopped moving. Apparently the exercise was so intense it completely locked his legs up to the point where he couldn't even walk anymore. In all my experience I had never heard of cramping that bad so fast, I thought he might have torn like both his hamstrings or something, so I was pretty worried. In the end he was fine but it was still like 10 minutes of sitting before he was cool again. The fool still wants to go on Friday even after I told him that I do squats every workout. I also studied for the latest chapter in my tax class today but as I expected it was pretty worthless. I'm basically going to review everything all over again this week however I actually have a substantial and real motivation to do so this time. I emailed this really cute girl in class and she gave me her number and were going to set up a study session coming up so now I actually have to get a real handle on this stuff before I go in and try to not look like a retard. I think she might be interested too. The way in which I screw this up could be spectacular, though more likely I'll just be my normal boring, emotionally empty and completely aloof self. You'd be surprised at what kind of track record I have. In ever more irrelevant news, I may finally have the ability to grow a full fledged beard. I don't really have an interest in growing one but for the longest time I had this stubborn patch underneath my chin. Not so anymore, I think I've become a man now Wals.
  15. What score would you give it? and pros/cons
  16. There could be squids, giant man eating ones too if you like. And I'd rather not share becuase I likely wouldn't be able to articulate the simplistic awesomeness of it and it will just wind up sounding horrible and then I'll realize its horrible and then I'll resent all of you for my own failings. Just let me have my brief moment before it eventually fades into mediocrity. I'm not going to class tonight. It's a decision that I've wrestled with for the last 10 minutes or so but I arrived at the conclusion after weighing the possibilities and it quickly became painfully clear that whether I'm at class or at home playing video games the end result will be roughly the same; I will have gleaned no lasting knowledge of the tax accounting system. Also I am incredibly tired, so tired in fact that I almost took a nap. I don't think I've taken a nap in a good number of years and could probably count my cumulative life's napping occurrences on one hand. I'll probably just watch House, play a game or two of HoN, take some nyquil and then slip away into the sweet embrace of sleep. Then tomorrow I will be rested and likely break my super special ultra promise to study what I missed (as well as catch up) and instead do absolutely nothing all day. Life isn't good but it should be.
  17. I'm sorry to hear that GD. Slugdog Enterprises could have been the single biggest supplier of animal urine repellent in North America. Today I think I may have finally found the one idea that I could feasibly write a novel on, though it will likely go unpublished until after I'm dead and then the entire thing will have become irrelevant. Up till now I have had vague premises and scenarios with which I tried to flesh out into an entire story but every time it would just fall apart due to it being just dumb, ripping something off or just being too lazy to follow through. Not so with this idea and in fact I'd likely be able to zombify the remains of a lot of what I've already written with some subtle and not so subtle tweaks. I have the vision, the only problem now is skill and the drive to actually write it.
  18. This is a classic if life gives you lemons make lemonaide type deal. What you do is corral these wild critters and then collect and dry their urine into a fine powder and sell it over the internet as deer repellent. Do you realize how many hundreds if not a thousand dollars you could make. It's a pretty genius idea. Your welcome. If you'd like to pm pics/video of your hot new girlfriend I would have no qualms. In other news I am desperately trying to preemptively salvage this semester but first I'm desperately trying to artificially create the conviction for it. It's a very sordid business trying to coerce oneself.
  19. I have a serious problem with milk chocolate as well as the people who eat it. I'm sorry Wals but it's just a rule of mine. Milk chocolate is for children because they don't know any better and they are about as sophisticated as an iguana. If you're an adult there is just no excuse. Dark chocolate should be the only chocolate.
  20. 85 push ups in 2 minutes is pretty damn good. Having been beat I question the legitimacy of such an outlandish feat. Thus by the grace and authority of God I am still the winner. You can all shower me with praise or celebrate my vast physical (as well as sexual, ladies ) prowess through any means you wish. And before anyone else asks I don't believe 213374U either becuase he's pretty irrelevant as a poster and just a general shady haberdasher.
  21. wow mkreku wth? I mean i know you had a hot girlfriend in the past and there's probably some entitlement left over but gfted is a good man and a great friend so why are you being so mean to him? oh i know why because you like looking at dudes werineres burned also alan it is possible to make a ridiculously cheap home set out of various hardware and household products and sand. It's unconventional but if you look through the interwebs you will find salvation. now stop wasting your time with curls.
  22. If you want muscle mass, curls aren't a great way to achieve that goal. For the most part curls are pretty worthless. Isolation exercise, no real practical application, and everyone hits a plateau on them really fast. You can get ripped arms + ripped back doing various row exercises. And hey there's the added benefit that you won't be a prick while doing them.
  23. What motivates me is when an e-friend tells me his 120 pound girlfriend squats 250 and benches 205. My squat is almost there, in fact over the last 4 weeks I've gone up 40 pounds. I hit 225 last week and could very reasonable hit 245 but that would likely be my max at this point. My bench is pretty bad. I hit 205 about 2 weeks ago but the week after that I had somehow lost all my strength and was only able to put up 185 5 times. Unfortunately I haven't gotten past that since however that's mainly due to having an absolutely atrocious diet, horrible sleep, and working out past 10 pm which should be when I'm sleeping.
