Damn it, Wind, that video forced me to click links until I started watching this crap again.

Why would you do this to me?

I had an account long ago.
Ditched it because of pretty much everything on that list.

Been listening to a lot of K-waves LAB Kou Ogata stuff.
Particularly the more Irish stuff.

I've always liked this type of music.

Sounds like a winner to me.

Listening to the World of Goo soundtrack right now.
Good stuff.

That's a pillow, dumbass.

It's not a hat?
How #####ing useless.

Get out of my sight.

Why so defensive?

DUH
UH

THE HAT

I haven't been to one of the actual restaurants in years now.
I remember the food being OK.

The IBC restaurant was way better, but then it's sort of a fancy place.

JC is a man who knows his root beer, that's plain to see!

Huh. If Schomaker put a cat in the bong...

... until you take the cat out of the bong you have a possible stoned cat and a possible sober cat at the same time.

Schomaker uncertainty principle.

While I enjoy root beer immensely, it is not birch beer, and it is also not ginger ale.
Or Dr. Pepper, but that was sort of assumed.

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.

I love you Nova. Like I love Dr. Pepper.

I just wanted you to know that.

Like, at private schools (or in my case, military schools), you get demerits for doing something bad like breaking a rule.

They do this in many public schools as well.
At least in my region.

... but...
... no...

... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OO!

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.

I've never understood how anyone can claim to like Pepsi, but if you really do then I guess it's OK.

Somebody has to drink it I guess.

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.

It was one of the few awesome 2-player games out there.
Boring as hell if you were alone, but a great time with a friend.

Abe just never had any fr-*TRANSMISSION LOST*

Not really.
We'd all have thousands of them by now.

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).

Ah, weebl. I should have known better.

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.

If you can find it, you horrible Maine-iac.

But yeah, the vanilla syrup they use in restaurants is tops.
However, if we're talking about that I usually go with amaretto but whatever.

I was going to post that sce- THE BUTTONS TAP OUT THE TUNE FROM CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND.

HOLY CRAPOLA!

That's a whole different level of anti-usability right there, actually.

I never did get to try any of that.
By the way, do they still make vanilla Coke? I love that stuff.

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.

The foam is really awesome. You know if it gets ice cream in it the foam stays longer?
That's pretty tasty stuff. Zero is good, but I'm waiting for them to make Coca-Cola Quantum.

SHUT THE HELL UP YOU IDIOT CHILDREN

YOU'RE JUST COVERING UP FOR THE FACT THAT YOU NEVER GOT TO PLAY PANZER DRAGOON OR GUARDIAN HEROES AND THUS LEAD DISEASED AND EMPTY CHILDHOODS, NEVER TO BE REPAok yeah there really aren't very many games but i love it anyway

That's pretty cool Wind.
What sort of Coca-Cola is it? The plain sort? Does it have bubbles?
I like it when the bubbles are still in and it's all fizzy and stuff.

who do you think i am
i am not sano

Oh, boy, woo-hoo. That was a good one, CV. You crack me up.
But seriously, if you were going for irony:

BEST PLACEMENT! SOOOOO~ COMFORTABLE!


i actually have one of these bastards
you're better off using the standard for the only game ever made for this thing, NiGHTS, and NiGHTS is a pretty stupid game

Just admit you don't know how to use the red eye removal tool and I'll go away.

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).

I honestly don't see how.
The face isn't evil or malicious at all.

just kinda creepy

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.

By which you mean "amateur picture".

Looks like shmorky's work to me.

Chaos just has a disgustingly typical sense of humor, methinks.

Still, it wasn't that funny. Amusing, but eh.

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.

Proto Man doesn't really have a Matrix, though.
It's more of a Source.

Just smile.

That annoys the hell out of people like that.

DUCK AND COVER

THERE WAS A TURTLE BY THE NAME OF BERT...

and yes i know we've seen it but we should all watch it right now because of wind's post

Actually, it's mostly you.

Iris is strong, because nobody can hurt her.

... at least not now.

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.
