My last chance to take the GRE with enough time to include the results in grad applications is this coming Wednesday. I'll be taking it, but reviewing the practice exams for the GRE and the writing sample requirements and curricula of some of the programs I'm applying to... well, they ask for a level of originality in research, and a depth and sophistication of analytic ability, that I just don't yet have. I feel profoundly unready.

But you're Profesco, you're like, omniscient

GRE is insanely easy. It's basically a common-sense test. I got 97th percentile without studying, so if you've been preparing even a little bit, you're set.

i was thinking the same thing XD

and yeah its not as hard as it seems.

[Cipher]

Throw in one more for the GRE not being very difficult.

Except the math portion, if you're me. But then the math portion is made up and the points don't matter anyway.

Windows 8 sucks.

I'll probably still get it anyway. It looks kind of stupid but I figure that I'll get used to it anyway.

Funny thing about that and reading. It's all made up.

I finished episode 5 last night, deadlyy game.

Yeah I've heard it's insane and apparently super intense, people have said they get so invested in it and there's some crazy hard decisions to make.

Once I finish my last day of classes on Tuesday, I'm taking one day to play the fruck out of it.

I think it deserves Game of the Year. It really makes you feel for the characters.

[Phlogiston]

Haven't played that yet, but I am so sick of the sheer glut of zombie media coming out lately that it's prematurely ruined for me.

[dinosaurus]

I'm excited to see what the fuss is about. I'll post thoughts.

Ceno, I haven't heard much on Zombies much lately? Unless you mean in the past few years kind of thing.

[Zenotwapal]

You know you're under someone's skin when they make a hate thread about you.

More the "past few years" thing. I think it started around when The Zombie Survival Guide or Zombieland or possibly even the first iteration The Walking Dead came out. Yeah, it's been a few years, but there is just so much of it, it seems. I mean, how many times CAN you do ONE topic?

Serious, legit, real talk time here, but LPers like him are the main reason I'm still afraid of doing YouTube LP stuff, since I don't want to turn into... that. (The other main reason, of course, being that I loathe the way my voice sounds.)

Here, let's counterbalance that with an actually awesome LP. The game is probably a little tired, though.

[dinosaurus]

^ Hundreds upon hundreds of times, apparently. Just with a few different variations in walking/running speed, decompsedness of said creatures, personality of survivors, etc.
Add a few other small things and you've got yourself a zombie formula!

Also, I used to watch 'Let's Play Pikman!' with a friend of mine over MSN. I don't remember who did it, and I've never played Pikman before, but it was just so... awesome... I don't' even remember if he even talked (I don't think he did) while doing the videos but it was just so great to watch.
I didn't bother watching that full link. Guy seemed annoyingy talky.

I was attacked by a troll before that took about 2 hours to remove from the site.

A "hate thread" would be the least of my problems.

[Phlogiston]

You're already in your hate thread, though. Constantly.

You can discuss things in the other thread, just don't wine about the categories you were nominated for and stuff.

Okay, fine, I'll beer about it instead. Maybe we can all get together and tequila about it. If we were in France in the late 19th century, I could suggest we absinthe about it.

Homonyms! Corrected, regardless (bc Mia will have my skin if I don't).

[Phlogiston]

Indeed -- but there is a point past which I just can't help it anymore.
