I have to read To Kill a Mockingbird for school.
Does it suck?

Depends on your tolerance level for stories about absurdly heroic white guys saving helpless black people from oppression.

I have teacher orientation next week and it's starting to freak me out.

It's a great book.

Also the GPD thing is getting old.

It's not a bad book. The writing manages to drag you in and it does what it sets out to do- it tells a story awfully well. My only gripe with it is that it's terribly overrated, and it does have faults. Like I said though, it's not bad. Most people enjoy it.

Best thing about medieval history: Since everyone had pretty much the same names, they all get awesome descriptors as part of the name they're remembered by. Like instead of Edward son of Edward II, he's Edward, The Black Prince. Or like instead of Charles VI he's Charles the Mad. Or instead of Louis XIII (a problem with French kings because they pretty much all were named either Louis or Charles) Louis the Chaste (or gay depending on who you believe.) Or, even more awesome, ridiculous stuff like Charles the Bald, or Ivan the Ignorant (who was severely mentally handicapped btw.)

I see. Well, I couldn't follow the first chapter, but the second is better. Let's hope I can make through this.

The lack of this may be why the twenty-first century sucks.

IDK, so many parents are naming their sons stuff that rhymes with Aiden now that we may start seeing Brayden the Tall and Jayden the Hairy or whatever. REVIVAL!

I'm so excited, you have no idea.

Oh God.
Do you have a time-frame so I know when I have to go down to the smelly lobby to download it? Because it smells awful down there and I really don't want to be there that long.
BUT I NEED IT.

12 hours from now, we're doing last minutes tests so as long as nothing major goes wrong it should be available

I just watched The Shining. Jack Nicholson is creepy. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

The one OST you released is amazing. Will the soundtrack be available at some point or will we have to put on big girl panties and play the levels to hear the music?

My personal favorites are Louis II the Stammerer, Louis I the Debonair, Athelred the Unready, and Louis the Universal Spider

I wasn't a big fan, but I do like the characters... and I'm reading Thus Spake Zarathustra, so I'm not sure I'm who you should come to about these kinds of questions.

[Phoopes]

To Kill a Mockingbird as a book is a bit overrated in my opinion. It's not bad, though. I actually enjoyed it. However, I really don't think it's as good as teachers make it out to be.

[Un0va]

I'm sorry, but as someone who was around for the Pokephile thread (which actually got this forum featured on Something Awful,) GPD has no limits.

Oh God.

Is that page still around?

[Moneyy]

the twenty-first century sucks.

Not really

[Phoopes]

It's a shame that none of the moderators' witty closing posts are shown in that, but I think I got enough entertainment from reading some of the posts in there already.

Nobody cares but my favorite game is dying. D:

AAAHHH the errors are actual ERROR.

[Phlogiston]

Dear god. Is this only on the Xbox version? I would assume it is, but I don't actually know, so.

[DMerle]

Is there anyone on here knowledgable about TV's? Cause I got an issue.
