I don't like Racing games, and I don't like Mode 7 games. But there's no denying that F-Zero has an amazing soundtrack.

Yeah, we've got a soulsharing arrangement with Hades. At one point we were planning to go to court over soul ownership issues, but we managed to work out a settlement that seems fair to both parties. Anytime we get a new member who agrees to the forum TOS, it creates a conflict of ownership. We send Hades the yellow copy of From 687-J. Next time Persephone visits her mother, she brings the souls up for us to hold during the summer months, and she takes them back with her when she returns to the earth.

Pretty standard boilerplate stuff. No need to bother about it.

Glorious. Ten out of Ten. The Oscar goes to this. Which Oscar? All of them. All the Oscars. Half the Grammies too.

Geeze, seriously?

@Kaynil , that's not okay.

It's also like a Back To The Future TV show, except the Doc is completely amoral and bullies Marty (Morty) into doing a lot of weird fucked up shit.

Did you guys play it and it was awful, or is Kaynil alluding to a failing in your sex life?

It comes highly recommended from me. But, as stated in other threads, I'm an unapologetically rabid Dan Harmon fan. I'll shill for anything he makes.

What seemed a bit too much?

Big James Dashner and Jack London fan? I've never actually heard of any of these books. Do tell, why are they on your list?

As for myself, I've been meaning to read a history book called Rubicon about the life of Julius Caesar (I just can't get enough. =P), and I'd like to finish reading Athena's Daughters, because I like women and I like science fiction and I like supporting women who write science fiction.

Quote from Kaynil

It sounds pretty nice. Let us know how was that first serious shift.

It was kinda surprising. 20 minutes after I arrived to my first shift, the owner gave me the keys to the place and said he'd be back in 4 hours. I guess he was impressed by my work experience or something, but I was still kinda shocked by the level of trust.

Really though, the shift was pretty dull. There were only about 8 customers the whole time. I cleaned the whole place top-to-bottom, then I just kinda..paced around, waiting for my shift to end. Hopefully business picks up soon or I'm liable to die of boredom.

Quote from Vengeance

I presently work as an Alarm Monitor for a gas company, I sit in a chair for 8 hours and monitor alarms. It's a lot like the home security system companies you hear about and see commercials for all the time. 'Cept we're the security company that monitors gas stations of our company, if that makes sense?

I knew a guy who performed monitor checks for the gas company. It's supposed to be a pretty sweet gig, yeah?

I also didn't drink at all until I was older. I was 27 years old before I tasted any alcohol. I've discovered I have a pretty high tolerance for the stuff. I can empty a bottle of Bourbon and the worst I get is a mild headache the next day. (Though Vodka makes me feel miserable, no matter how little of it I drink. Cheap-ass Cabernets are my current alcohol of choice)

I did throw up after drinking once. But it's not because of the Alcohol. My girlfriend and I were having a quiet evening in. We were eating those cheap $1 frozen pizzas, and I was drinking beer. (Blue Moon is my beer of choice). Anyway, I wanted to get silly-drunk, but there wasn't very much alcohol in the beer. After finishing the whole six pack, I started to get really painful stomach cramps, then eventually had to throw up.

I figure the huge amount of carbonation in the beer is actually what made me sick. That, or the $1 pizzas.

Dreaming of a future economy that doesn't rely on ultimately unsustainable models of citizen productivity in an increasingly automated society.

I'm glad some people showed up who can actually relate to Link on this issue.

I was starting to feel bad about what a community of sadsacks we are.

My girlfriend snoring.

RIGHT!?

I don't have a TV, so I won't be able to watch it live tonight. But I'll certainly be acquiring a copy of it by some means soon.

Aw. My burn failed.

Your whole post about growing out of the Kokiri Kid name seemed very "hardened." So I linked to the part of your video where you made fun of Max Payne for being hardened.

I suspect that most of my job will be standing around, exchanging bills for quarters, and taking money for food.

I'll be working my first real shift tonight.

I also got an email today about a new writing job. Sort of a freelancer pool. I still need to investigate that one. Hopefully some extra income comes outta that.

Well then, The Amazing Spider Man is better than the Toby McGuire Spider Man. And the X-Men movies have been pretty consistently good. I didn't hate the third one as much as everybody says I should have.

I assume we're talking "The MCU," which doesn't include the Spider Man or X-Men movies.

I'm terrible at picking favorites. The original Iron Man was great, but so was Iron Man 3. Iron Man 2 is a lot better than everyone says it is. Thor 2 was better than Thor 1. The Avengers is one of the most overrated movies ever, but Age of Ultron is pretty good. Both Captain America movies were great.

We need a Black Widow movie.
