Dr. Fomite Hey there, WJ. Been a while. Hope you're doing well aside from bad red ringiness. And hopefully your memory will cooperate, lest someone be forced to jog it for you. Does this jogging involve mad science? On a somewhat related note, I read a few chapters of Franken Fran a few weeks ago and I thought of you. As for how I'm doing... well, on the one hand I just got from a fun trip to New York while on the other my wallet and phone were stolen just before I left. So, grand scheme of things... evens out, I guess.

You smell like booze, sea life, and popcorn.

FOR THE EMPEROR! If this is successful, I think it'd only be a matter of time before we get a Gaunt's Ghosts stealth/action game, which would be pretty awesome.

Streamjumper Hey Zelly! Congrats on day 2 of the Bar. I had meant to post something on day one (which I believe was yesterday, countrywide), but it slipped my mind in the craziness at work. So, how long til you get word as to your success? I've heard something like October/November, but I'm not certain that's accurate... In the meantime, PM me your current mailing address. I might have something for you to mess around with. Thanks! Yeah, that was day 2 of the Bar, so I was pretty much up to my neck in Multiple choice at the time. XD The pass/fail list comes out in November, so I've got quite some time to wait.

MegamanPsy Probably going to buy a new laptop next week. A windows one. While using my student ID. [/wants a new laptop badly] The fan in my laptop is pretty much dead, so I need to get it fixed. Until I actually can get a paying job, my money supply is rather limited.

Streamjumper Zelyhon Bar is done. Will catch up on Backlog and try to figure out how best to go about getting onto XBLA with everyone in the next few days. Congrats, man! Now to make up for all that free time you missed with some grade A slacking for a week or two. Remember that when you set up your new account the first month of Gold is free. After that you'll need to pay the subscription fee, but 50-60 bucks a year is chump change compared to the reliability of the network, speed of updates, and the features Gold gets ya (cross-game chat and friends list are huge ones here). If you don't have one yet, remember to snag a headset (the $40 dollar Microsoft cordless is nice, but the el-cheapo $20 wired set is just fine too) so you can talk with us. Oh, and don't forget to PM me your current mailing address so I can send you something to welcome you to the collective. Oh, and a little good news for the rest of the collective: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/news/news-9153-Borderlands-2-in-Development-Says-Source.html I'll definitely be looking into that. I need to figure out an efficient way to get an ethernet cable from my 360 to the router, but I might just give up and just run it right across the room under the carpet. XD The days since the bar have certainly been unproductive relaxation. Lots and lots of fun. Finished Heavy Rain and I'm trying to go back and see all the various endings right now. After that, I'll be playing Infamous and/or Mass Effect, both of which I'm really looking forward to. The other game I'm playing now that you all should look into and join in on is League of Legends. My roommate got me into it. It's kinda like Defense of the Ancients from Warcraft III. Free to play and online, so give it a shot, all! http://na.leagueoflegends.com/

WhiteJoker Congrats Zely, and good to know that the next time I get into a bender down south of the border I have somebody to call and hopefully get me out of jail... again. So hey folks, I is kind of back. We'll see how my memory fares on remembering to check fairly regularly though. Edit: Apparently you guys are bad luck because my 360 just red ringed on me minutes after I made this post. >_> That, or we're good luck. For all we know, the only thing that kept the 360 from completely exploding was your posting here. Think about it. XD Thanks. Once I find out if I passed the bar, I expect several of my friends to become a lot more reckless because they have someone to turn to. [/kidding...I hope].

My roommate got me into it. It's kinda like Defense of the Ancients from Warcraft III. Free to play and online, so give it a shot, all! http://na.leagueoflegends.com/ Thanks, but no LoL for me. My PC gaming is almost exclusively dominated by KoL and Minecraft. I've also watched some Let's Play videos of LoL and it really didn't interest me in the least. Thanks for the mention though. I'd run the cable either right under the carpet (if possible trying to slightly skirt high traffic areas) or around the edge of the room (if possible). You probably already have one, but I've found some good, long ones (I think up to 40 feet) at Target for reasonable prices. Anywho, if you get online my tag is same as here... Streamjumper. And I can get you connected to the others, especially Kin, Zero, and Suyo. If you get your box running sometime before next Tuesday, I strongly endorse snagging an XBL points card and scooping up Fancy Pants Adventures for 400 points (5 bucks). Fun platforming abounds with an interesting stick-figure art style. I also strongly suggest grabbing Double Fine's 3rd person mecha shooter/tower defense extravaganza, Trenched (totally worth the 1200 points/15 bucks they priced it at). Both games include online multiplayer, so fun abounds. However, if you get and spend points on so much as a single one of the accursed Jersey Shore avatar items, Kin and I will hunt you down and deliver divine judgement for your transgression.

So, I pre-ordered Star Wars: The Old Republic and am now waging logical-fu on their forums. Anybody else thinking of perhaps poking it?

MegamanPsy WhiteJoker So, I pre-ordered Star Wars: The Old Republic and am now waging logical-fu on their forums. Anybody else thinking of perhaps poking it? What kind? Nearly any sort of vaguely ethical or moral discussion involving the Force. Stupid popularity versus threads (I found the Revan vs the USMC particularly head desking worthy). Some idiot bitching about how Jedi should just magically own other classes because "they do it in the movies!" A couple of canon debates involving citing specifics down to issue numbers and specific pages. Dealing with idiotic "I want to be special!/I want everybody to be ******** the same!" crap.
