Which sort, the 16 oz or 2L variety? I can't see downing a whole 2L, but then I like to savor things. Plus, the plastic gives the drink a slightly off taste, and I'd rather have it from a can or fountain (mmm, fountain soda). I like Dr. Pepper pretty well.
Although I had some cherry Dr. Pepper, tasted the same.
This is because Dr. Pepper is already cherry flavored.

Th-That monkey is a suicide bomber...
I also find it weird there's a black boy in little Betty's class considering African-Americans were only allowed to attend school with Caucasians first in 1964 (yes that recent).
Of course since we all know the main point of the video isn't even plausible, I guess that's OK.
I believe this is a singular production for schools nationwide. That is the token minority kid. That or it's a Wisconsin school.

Not impressed with it. If Fallout 3 has taught me anything about surviving in the post-apocalyptic wasteland,
It hasn't.
Yes it has. I know how to get food from Super Duper Mart and everything. I'm set for life.

I eventually got into the habit of doing them before I coded anything (at least object by object). Using Java speeds that along because many compilers, especially Eclipse, allow you to create your own documentation for your code, so it shows info on tool-tips for them.
But it's really only useful on larger, more complex projects than whatever it is you must be doing. Helps you figure out what you should be doing (especially in structured/imperative languages).

Except that most of them aren't classics, and there's no Gunstar Heroes, no Toejam and Earl, no Toejam and Earl 2 and no Rocket Knight Adventures (among others).
Instead you get awful crap like Golden Axe and Phantasy Star. If your game list was that game list, with the exception of the Sonic games, you'd be better off with an SNES.

I never had a Sega Saturn, or vaguely remembered of it's existence.
Never handled that controller, but by it's looks, I'd argue that the Gamecube one is worse than th- wait, is the back of that controller flat?
Mostly. The bars you see down the sides raise back a little, but not much. The real kicker is that this thing is pretty much the size of your face, and the triggers are way the hell up there on the back of those bars.

Being "hip" these days is pretty meaningless, given the general multiplicity of subcultures and meta-cultures that exist. It's impossible to really be "with it" or "in the loop", because there are so many goddamn loops that if you tried to be in them all...
... well, it would be one monster of a Venn diagram.
Best thing is just to be who you are (and rip up your denim jacket and fade it so you can be a cool breeze like Wind).

Heh, that reminds me of the sort of stuff people would do back in the 70's and 80's to look "hip". Odd how things go around. My brother's the same way, except different! He's part of that "gamer army" that was started by that Pure Pwnage internet series.. which I think is ridiculous, I tell him he looks like a #####ing chump when he dresses up in hunter green army gear with "gamer army" patches on his jacket. Goddamn.
Hahahaha, oh wow, people actually do that? Those are some genes that need to be trashed. No offense, Wind.

The best d-pad on the planet, as far as I'm concerned, was the SNES one. PSX type controllers are close, but since they lack the center it makes it a little harder to roll with it.
I've never understood d-pads having depressed centers; you use the edges, not the middle. Not that a raised center would be good either, but flat is best in my opinion.
I actually like how the Wing looks better. Neither controller seems very ergonomic, but they don't have much of a bar to raise considering the classic controller's design.
... regardless, I did manage to beat Super Metroid in under 3:00h 100% with the classic controller, so it's not that bad.

If Fallout 3 has taught me anything about surviving in the post-apocalyptic wasteland, it's that if you don't want to have hit men or vigilantes out on the hunt for you 100% of the time, for every town you save you must murder another.
Oh, and if you meet any mutated tree men, just talk to them because they are funny and really cool guys.

Don't count on it. A good quarter of my genetics are Italian, and I couldn't care less about cars, save that they get me from one place to another.
... I do tend to prefer low cars and turn corners at high speeds though.

I've not had problems with mine, and it's also the same model as ASR's... ... but I never really use my Wii these days.
Rechargeable batteries hold full charge much longer if you use them until they fully lose charge and only then put them back on the charger until they are, of course, fully charged.

Yeah, but that's just voodoo.
Colors have been used to represent a lot of things, and it changes depending on who, when, what, where and how you ask.
So I just stick with this:
Yellow - Electromagnetic force Violet - Strong/Weak Nuclear force White - Photonic radiation (doesn't behave like EM, despite being exactly that) Black - Gravitation Red - Plasma Green - Gas Blue - Liquid Orange - Solid
Which I use for magic, and I just use my imagination to turn the physics explanation into stupid sounding normal magic elements and there you go. In order: Lightning, Cold (that's a long explanation), Light, Dark, Fire, Wind, Water, Earth.
So I guess my point is that Wind has been using the exact colors I would have, and so I never thought twice about his choices.
