^Assumes I know what HW is! Probably Hyrule Warriors, right? Is it even out yet?
< Spent the downtime refreshing the forum over and over again and crying.
V Spent the forum downtime outside or some shit.

Huh. I almost never have videos that aren't available in my country. I mean, I know you guys have to deal with that shit all the time. I'm not complaining. It's just kinda weird to see.

And I've got the soundtrack to the sequel queued up right after! =D

I'm not too familiar with the 3DS specifically, but can you run it when it's plugged in?

If you can play it when it's plugged into an outlet, but it won't charge at all, then it's almost certainly the battery. I did some googling, and it looks like a new battery is usually less than $10. I'd usually recommend going with first party hardware if you can. (As in, get it directly from Nintendo). As a general rule of thumb, repairing consumer electronics with parts produced by a third party tends to produce a fair amount of problems.

If the 3DS doesn't run when it's plugged in...well it still might be the battery. But I might try using a different charger, and making sure there isn't any significant damage to the charger port.

Not sure whether to be concerned or simply go with it for now.

It's weird old joke, and I'm not 100% sure how it got started anymore. Consider it the full extent of our hazing process.

I'mma be honest, TIO, I underestimated you just now.

"Oh great." I thought. "Fuckin' teenagers and their weirdly dogmatic music passion."

But naw, you were right, this is good shit. Also:

I know that feeling. I have a terribly bad habit of forcing myself to be "complete" about things.

This is a good thread. We should actually have this thread instead of ignoring it.

It's hard to pick just one Star Wars book as my childhood favorite, but "Vision of the Future" stands out was one of the most triumphant and joyful of the Star Wars books for me.

I've personally kinda accepted that I'll never be "done" with WoW. It'll always rotate its way back into my life. But all my old friends have either stopped playing, or moved to other servers. It's funny, actually, because I tend to follow a predictable pattern.

1. Start listening to the many WoW soundtracks, because they're fucking great music.
2. Start to feel nostalgic.
3. Wrestle with my feelings for weeks before resubbing.
4. It takes roughly 5 minutes after resubbing for me to be riding my mount around Stormwind / Elwynn at random, not really sure what to do now that I'm back.

The last time I actually got to max level was Cataclysm. I played for a few months on the tail end of Pandaria, but never hit 90. And as good as I hear WoD is, I somehow doubt I'll play it at all.

^ I think is Kaynil's actual, real-life brother, but I haven't actually been able to determine that for sure.
< Needs to figure out what he wants to accomplish today.
V Secretly hates me. But like, really secretly. They'll deny it. Or they won't deny it, but they'll pretend their lack of denial is a joke.

Does anybody understand the Fight Forum?

I don't really get its purpose, and nobody seems to be posting in it much. It's not for serious debate or discussion. But it's also not for actual fights between members. It's for playing around, I guess?

It seems like this could be rolled into the Spam & games forum pretty easily.

What do I do with two monitors?

-Play a game on one monitor. On the other monitor you can have: the game's wiki open, this forum open to browse during the game's downtime, or just a movie/TV show to watch during a game that only requires half your attention. When I go back to WoW, I usually watch boss strat videos on my B monitor while clearing trash on the A monitor. That way I don't hold the group back.

-Work on an image editing project and SPREAD DOSE MENUS OUT, BRUTHA

-If writing, have your first draft on monitor B, and write your second draft on monitor A. Or, use the other monitor for research.

Lots of possibilities, mang.

Makes the time go by.

I think I've listened to that exact video before, actually.

And now it's what I'm listening to.

I was just thinking that if I ever open another forum, I might pay homage to the pink-and-purple designs that Ashleigh so loved.

I mean, that's every pursuit, right?

No matter how much you love something, if you're dedicated to it and you do it regularly, then you're gonna have a lot of days where you have to force yourself.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I lost my job.

The place went out of business after 6 fucking days.

Good luck, mang. Dual monitors are fuckin' sweet.

This is a long read, but I'd never heard about it before. If you have some time to kill, it's worth reading.

TL;DR:

-Activists in the UK print a pamphlet critical of McDonalds.
-McDonalds threatens to sue them, the same way it sues everyone that criticizes it. But these activists don't give in.
-Due to the UK's harsh libel laws, which don't guarantee legal representation to the defense and are generally weighted in favor of the claimant, the activists are in deep shit.
-McDonald's lawyers convince the judge to disband the jury because the issues are too complicated for dumb peasant folk to understand.
-The trial lasts 2 years, and the Judge eventually finds in favor of McDonalds (though he strikes down parts of their claim.)
-Public opinion largely favors the defense, though. McDonalds gets a shit load of bad press from the whole debacle.
-The activists eventually sue the UK itself in the European court, and win.
Epilogue: McDonalds is still an organization that helps billionaires oppress the poor.

I've never found the Ennies even slightly interesting. I'd fully be in favor of The Ramanan Sivaranjan Awards for Excellence in Gaming

"wanna chill n netflix?"

I can't stop thinking about getting this dual monitor going on already. It's stupid that a DVI cable is the only thing stopping me.

You don't have a DVI cable, or there's something wrong with your DVI cable?

Normal dude who is just really lucky.

Normal dude with access to advanced technology.

Normal dude who keeps stumbling into the center of attention. Winding up as the subject of prophecy, or being hailed as the chosen one.
