Were they, like, telling you to be snarky to anyone who bullied you? Because I'm not sure counter-bullying solves the bullying problem.

How would I know? I didn't show up for the class.

[Phlogiston]

Makes sense.

After the debates, though, my vote is basically sealed -- I'm voting for this guy. You can't understand a word he says, but he still made more sense than that debate.

[Zazie]

my amp and pedals came in, and they kick so much ***

What amp and what pedals?

Mean Girls 2 was better

They made a sequel?

Never seen the movie. I am probably missing out.

[greatguy]

Yeah, I'm snarky to all mean girls~

:P

[Jb]

I am probably missing out.

I can assure that you're not.

Very late I know but I check this place infrequently so this happens, hope you see it.

Um, I actually don't think it's a better game, but I like it better. I don't even know why to be honest, but I did. Play it man.

Yeah I've listened to PBX alright. It is... weird. Full blown experimental nonsense, it is. And also awesome I think. I can see how it has alienated many of the fans, and I'm kinda bummed he released Walls and Doors as the free download pre-release, because it sounds more "normal" and it's almost as if he tricked people into thinking the album is kinda more of the same (even though he did say Walls and Doors was recorded in a different state of his musical explorations and before settling for a sound for PBX).

I still need more listen to fully grasp what it's doing as an album, but I know I like it. It's unlike anything he's ever done before, and at times it doesn't even sound like music, but it's all very definitely John Frusciante and that's enough to get me to love something. Christ I sound like some of the fangirls.

Actually, I was able to find Ghost Trick for under $20 new, so I've ordered it. No clue when it'll arrive, though. And I could certainly believe that the gameplay would be better than 999 (I mean, I loved its gameplay, too, but that's not what's made me utterly obsessed with it), just not the story/characters or anything. Though if it were better in those areas, I would be extremely impressed.

And yeah, I did think that PBX was a lot weirder than I thought it would be, even after Letur-Lefr. Still though, since it's John Frusciante, I don't, like, listen to the sounds themselves, but the music he's making, if that makes any sort of sense. All of his albums are extremely different superficially, but seem to actually be pretty alike, at least to me (well, The Empyrean was kind of different thematically, and probably Niandra LaDes and Smile from the Streets, too). I was honestly reminded a lot of To Record Only Water for Ten Days when listening to it. Walls and Doors was way more 'normal' for sure, though; I didn't realize that it was released beforehand.

But musically, PBX was plain strange, what with all the rapping and really harsh electronic sounds. I mean, I guess A Sphere in the Heart of Silence was kinda similar with the sounds, but this was just... I don't know, kinda harsher, because the sounds changed so frequently and suddenly, or... something. And fangirl or not, I did like it. Though I have to admit, too, that it might be hard for John Frusciante to do any wrong by me.

That's crazy, I was totally convinced that you were Australian for some reason.

More incorrect information should be posted here. It's the only way a masturbation discussion can be less bad.

Did you know that if you masturbate your genitals will fall off and you go straight to Hell when you die? Which sounds bad, but the really scary part is that if you do it before marriage it makes you watch MTV compulsively for two years, after which you will dedicate your entire life to getting onto reality shows on MTV. Thank God I'm safe, but I can't help but feel sorry for SGG and/or Johnwb13 or whatever the hell his name is.

They were both mediocre and I'm sick of the internet pretending either was great.

The internet likes things? This is news to me.

Sooo making my problem set into a drinking game was a bad idea but on the bright side I finished it.

Do go on.

Nope. I'm an American (could be worse, I guess). Though I hear Australia's nice if you ignore the corrupt government, blistering heat, and deadly wildlife.

[Phlogiston]

I'm fairly sure that being Australian imbues you with the required capabilities to not have to worry about either the heat or the wildlife -- or at least the ability to fill a jar of urine in less than half a minute and throw that to ward those off (I heard it also works well against the government). As for corrupt government... that's everywhere.

Okay so a 'friend' of mine has asked me to discuss business stuff with him later today, but I'm not even slightly interested, as it's... Amway. You know, that pseudo-scamming group who basically rob people of their money using fancy pyramid diagrams and stuff. How do I let him down nicely, or better yet - not get him to hate me for not wanting to take part?

Pseudo-scamming? snrk

Also, Amway shares features with cults. Try saying that.

This is how you make Coke.

Ok I have to find a new passion, anyone here into collecting, is it worth it?

I collected Transformers figures. Unfortunately I sold nearly all of them to help cover moving expenses.
I completely regret it.

I also collect concept art for vidya gaems. It's nice to look at and is a pretty good source of inspiration sometimes.
Only get into collecting if you've got the funds for it, you've really got a passion for it, and you have the room to do it. That last bit is probably the most important part.

PLEASE CHECK OUT THIS EPIC YOUTUBE VIDEO I MADE.

thanks

If you saw a pelican and an ibis, fighting over a tuna fish sandwich, would you stand idly by and do nothing, or take the initiative and make sure that the lil girl got home safely with the escort of a twelve foot wide walrus robot? You tell me.

I'm not gonna lie, that looks pretty disgusting.

...Jb, how much weed have you smoked today?

[greatguy]

^Nicotine or marijuana?

[Ignika]

Would anyone care to see a hilarious image that I won't post directly because it is absolutely saturated with profanity?
