Uhh, there's more than that (that you can't see,) but yeah we do.

If it were slower you would be able to notice the frames like in your sig. I also agree that something strange ocurred during the optimization process, for some reason it affected the first frame the most, I guess it's because that frame is the blurriest. I didn't try to compile it with the sharper version, I had to blurr everything in the sig in order to save space, and it hardly saved any at all, it was during the optimization process when I had to sacrifice colors that the sig started to become all static-ish.

It's been my expiriance that bluryness is the absolute worst thing you can have for optimizing. You didn't save over the sharp one did you?

Meh, it's an ugly sig anyways.

DAMN. Wtf am I doing up at 5 in the morning mountain time, you may ask.

Well, I will answer. I had a kid that came in my fucking room when I was studying at 1 am and about ready to hit the sack. He told me to start writhing shit down. It goes

"Dear mom and dad, I love you greatly, please bury me in my best clothes, let my sister have my horse..."

Im pretty sure you can see where that went. I then ask him why the fuck I am doing this and he proceeds to tell me I will be the last human being he will talk to alive. I then say Im gonna call the fucking cops cause this shit aint funny. He then says its to late and speeds out of my room to his room. I then talk to this kid in my hall and and tell him the scoop. We knock on his door and he wants to talk to this kid on my hall alone in his room. He then proceeds to talk to him for 40 minutes about his basically last will and testament. He repeats ad nausaem it is all to late. We have NO fuckin clue what to do 40 minutes later when he is out and obviously not dying from an OD. So two other kids show up. When then proceed to contain him for 2 hours. He escapes when he says he needs to piss and we lose him all while he races to the 13 floor and tries to open the door. He cant and we find him minutes later.

When then get him back in the room and call the hospital within 20 minutes. They say we have to call the cops. We call the cops and now his crazy fuckin ass is on his way to suicide watch. We all know he is drunk as shit and also at least on aderol and anti depresants among other drugs he is probably on so that shit didnt help.

FUCK. Why the FUCK DOES THIS SHIT HAPPEN. This is college. Why the fuck is this kid on my floor. And I have a fuckin class at 8 oclock. I now have to pull an all nighter because I know if I fall asleep I wont wake up.

Fuck this. Seriously.

Maybe I am just a heartless bastard, but I would have egged the guy on. Speaking from experience, people who act the way that guy did typically aren't that serious about doing themselves in, they just want attention and sympathy from the people around them.

My brother in law used to pull stuff like that all the time. He'd put a gun to his head and say he was about to shoot, and as dead serious as he was, the gun wouldn't even be loaded...

HOLY WEIRDNESS.

Today at the grocery, decided to get a six, right? Decided on Becks - but wait! - a new flavor tempted me. "Green Lemon". Yeah, doesn't sound very appetizing, not sure what I was thinking..

It's quite..... well.. lemon-y. Odd, almost like a wine cooler, with a slight beer aftertaste. *shrug*

On the plus side, the six pack was only three euro. All beer is about that price, too. It's insanity. A six of bottles for 3-4 euro (Corono is about as expensive as you can get. Damn expensive imports!). Or, you can get individual (or cases) of the local micro brews. These typically run about seventy cents per bottle. The upshot? The bottles are 1.5L.

I'm sure the local stuff is pretty fucking good. I loathe Corona. I think it's one of the worst beers ever. But I'm very picky when it comes to beer. Have you tried the local stuff? I bet it's really good.

I'm an anamoly to my own people.
I'm Mexican, but I don't like Corona. No wonder people add a wedge of lime to it. It cuts the bitterness to it (but then, now it's sour.)

Last night I went to Gordon Biersch. Great beer. Super dark and smooth.

There are two good beer gardens here which brew their own, I've been to one, and yeah, it was great. There's also a fairly sizable brewery, name of "Ganter", which I've bought occasionally. It's s'alright. A lot of others, haven't tried. I've been drinking more wine lately, to tell the truth.

And yeah, Corona is weak.

If you made a thread you wanted locked I would gladly do it for you, as would any other mod I assume. Well, all I did was make a thread where people were going to personally attack me because I'm not in favor of the majority of the things my country does. I'm not going to sit around defending myself for pages, just because everyone is calling me a liberal hippy idiot. And that thread would have went on forever, because it was something a lot of people could use to gang up on one guy.

Yes, I dislike my country, because it has made one too many bad decisions. Does it give me a lot too? Definitely. But I'm not bitching about what I have, I'm bitching about what a lot of us don't have. And of course people will tell me to do something about it. I'm twenty years old and I did shitty in school, I'm not going to crawl my way up the political ladder and fight the system. One reason is because I don't want to do it. I can have my opinions, that doesn't mean I need to change the country. Then there are people telling me to leave the country if I hate it so much, because it's so easy to leave your family behind and go some place you've never been to start a life where you'd have to work from bottom up.

I suppose I use the term hate loosely, although the word is strong. There are things I hate more, and there are countries I'm glad I don't live in. But when I look around and see everything we have, I get dumbstruck at the amount of things we don't have and should have.

I have this friend from Russia I talked to once about America, and his views were like that of many foreigners. I asked him what he thought about America, and he listed all of the bad things that we know to be true. Overweight, typically lazy, and mean hearted towards outsiders. But he was very glad to live in America over Russia, and I have that same feeling. I wouldn't like living in Russia either, especially after the things he was telling me. But it makes me sad knowing with all of the power we have, we still have a long ways to go, and we keep back tracking by making awful mistakes. I think we look at ourselves as this world power who is better than so many other people because of what we have, but in actuality we're still very primative in the way we think and act.

I also won't bullshit around. I'm an idealist with unrealistic agendas. I'm like Kurt Vonnegut or George Carlin. I just have a lot of built up hate for humanity, more so towards the American way of life.


I've been refurbished and reissued, prepackaged and precooked, decontaminated and deloused, but I still smell, sound, look and feel like shit.

New to the video game forums?

Welcome to the Political Forum. You can always choose to ignore the idiots or just delete their posts, that is within your power. At the same time, defending your view when the crowd is against you is a little more challenging than having a two sided debate. But that's what comes with making a statement that goes against the majority. It should have been at least a little expected.

Hey, I also criticize the United States too--

My biggest beef is mainly about illegal immigration, Walmart types of business, and world market issues...

So...you know...not to interrupt everyone's seriousness....

But I bought the two disc Guess Who Anthology...

And I'd like to know why I was never informed about how much The Guess who fucking rock. I'd never heard much, outside of what's played on the radio.

They're so a band that's right up my alley.

So I was playing a rom of Super Mario Brothers for NES the other day, and about 30 minutes into it, it hit me... How strapped for cash is the Mushroom Kingdom that they have to send two plumbers to save the Princess? Much less Italian plumbers... nothing against Italians, I'm just wondering how they wound up in the Mushroom Kingdom. You've got Goombas, Flying Turtles, a Bowser, Mushroom people, a fully Human Princess (which doesn't make sense if she's a native of the country and yet not a mushroom person), and then two Italian Plumbers dropped right in the middle of all this. It doesn't make any sense.

Same thing goes with the Legend of Zelda series. If the Royal Guards in all their power can't protect or save the princess Zelda, how the hell does Link (a mere peasent) manage it every time?! Their way more armed and protected than he is, yet he makes due and brings the princess home before supper time...

You know what I think they should do? Outsource the guard duties in either Hyrule or the Mushroom Kingdom to Samus Aran. That girl can take names and kick ass at the drop of the hat, no way in HELL will a few knucle heads get past her.

Please, no more drama in the lounge...

So I'm reading this book called Koko by Peter Straub (who's done some collaborative work with Stephen King) and I've just realized it's a really fucking good book. Go read it.

I never really liked Straub. Maybe I'll try him again.

I have a reading confession:

As some of you may have surmised over time, my favorite genre is mystery/true crime. I'm currently reading Survivor in Death by J.D. Robb. J.D. Robb is Nora Roberts' nom de plume. I feel so dirty. She's the modern-day Danielle Steele. So, some bits I just skip over because all they are is soft porn (and not my variety, either :\.) Other than that, the book is pretty good. They're (it's a series) set in 2056 (?) and they're murder mysteries.

You don't get it, do you?
*sigh*
They got the Mario Brothers because they're Italians and they've got connections with the mafia.
Who do you think puts all the mushrooms in those boxes? Lemme throw down a few random words now.
Mushrooms- Conveniently placed for you. If you don't get what having a conveniently placed hallucinogen drug at hand, while being Italian, implies, then you're too square.
Fire Flowers. Cough. Firearms deals.
Stars. COUGH. You start shining and become invincible. Also CONVENIENTLY placed there for you.

But that's just the tip of the Iceberg. It goes much -- MUCH -- deeper than that.

So, anyways.

Aside from the comics I read, and have somehow made into my job, I read mostly action packed yet brainy things. I just finished rainbow 6 by tom clancy, most fitting ending ever. And I'm currently reading congo by michael crichton. It was written in 79 so the technology, which the man cannot resist giving almost constant lectures about, it so dated it's funny. The expedition leaders portable computer has a whopping 187 k memory. I've cleared with my disk cleanup. I am loving the signing gorilla though. Talking animals are just funny


I have nothing against people who can use pot and lead a productive life. It's these sanctimonius hippies that make me wish I was a riot cop in the 60's
