Quote from Vengeance

That sucks man; but, QFT. You couldn't have said it any better. I've always enjoyed writing in my aspects and avenues. It's always been an emotional outlet that I couldn't use words verbally to express. I plan to eventually finish my novel, when I'm not continuously being sidetracked or distracted. I swear our attention spans with all of this technology is horrible. I can be focusing on one thing for like 5-10 seconds and then something 'interesting' happens and boom, train of thought gets derailed and I'm left a splutterin'.

I'm like that with some projects. Sometimes I have to force myself to focus on one thing at a time.

they really do care about their employees

Define... care? I don't agree haha, though I definitely know it could be worse.

Quote from LinkSkywalker

Cheap rum was one of the first hard liquors I tried. I fuckin' hated it. It was awhile before I tried a hard liquor again, and discovered that I really enjoy a good whiskey. It's a good way to get silly fast. Beer is pleasant to drink, but at most I get a very light buzz from it. Wine is nice because it's cheap (I've been able to find $3-$5 bottles of Cabernet), pleasant to drink, pairs well with food, and gets me plenty silly.

I've only been drinking for a little more than a year. I don't know why I haven't really gotten hangovers yet. Nothing more than a mild headache anyway.

Best thing I've found to avoid a bad morning after is, before going to bed, have 3 - 4 glasses of water.

I actually looked up some footage of it on Youtube, it does look surprisingly playable. I'mma try and get my hands on it.

Also, I realized it's probably what they're playing in this video:

Yeah that's Emporer's tomb.

I really want to find the PS3 version of Staff of Kings. Stupid motion controls on the wii.

Quote from LinkSkywalker

Well then, The Amazing Spider Man is better than the Toby McGuire Spider Man.

I agree, but Tobey was a better Peter Parker than Andrew. Overall a better movie than Spider Man 1 and 3. Spider Man 2 Tobey's trilogy is still my favourite Spider Man movie.

Ant Man was awesome and I wanna read his comics.

Should I fart?

Quote from LinkSkywalker

So, ya know that guy who starts all of his stories with "Oh man, so I got totally smashed last weekend..."?

We all agree that guy is an asshole, right?

None the less, sometimes mind-altering substances produce some interesting stories. So post your drugs and alcohol stories here. No judgements.

So, I've been looking for work for about 4 months now. During that time, I never knew when I was going to get a job, and I didn't know if the job I would eventually get would perform drug tests. I'm not a big weed smoker usually, but it was annoying to pass up all the good opportunities to smoke that I had in those 4 months. (We seriously had a 12 hour blackout in my area. That would have been such a good time to smoke! Augh!)

So today I got stoned, and decided to go out for a pizza. I'm poor, so I just walked into the local Little Caesar's, and asked if they had any pepperoni hot-n-readies. (They're only $6). The lady behind the counter, as a joke, said "Nope. We've only got cheeseburger pizzas here today."

Now, I wasn't so high that I couldn't function in normal society. I could smile, ask for food, and pay for food, and act perfectly normal. But this joke fucking threw me. I couldn't tell it was a joke. So I just said "sure, a cheeseburger pizza sounds awesome."

She said she was joking. I said she should totally make cheeseburger pizzas anyway, because they sounded awesome.

(Full disclosure: this is about as exciting as my stories get.)

Hahahahahahhaa!

I love drinking with friends...

One time I got very drunk and started accusing one of my mates of being a reaper from Mass Effect and claiming he was indoctrinating everyone. I was convinced.

So strange. Sometimes I wonder why my friends still invite me.

My drink of choice is rum or beer. I don't usually get drunk as now I'm older the hangovers hit me. I get close to drunk though.

Quote from LinkSkywalker

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 thought it was something like that haha so I kind of got burned.

Quote from LinkSkywalker

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

Hahaha. No no no no.

Quote from LinkSkywalker

I got that job, by the by. I'm pretty sure I've said as much elsewhere at this point, but given that this thread ended on Kaynil wishing me luck, it seems only appropriate that I add an update.

I got the job. I did some training yesterday, and I work my first real shift tomorrow. It's a small arcade. My actual job won't be anything too exciting, but the atmosphere is laid back with some opportunity for growth. Here's hoping it's enough to help smooth out some of my financial difficulties.

Nicely done sir. What are you actually doing at the arcade?

Quote from LinkSkywalker

Not enough attention is being payed to the sick burn I just layed down.

I actually managed to mock you with a video that you made yourself. It was fucking glorious.

Haha, honestly I just didn't understand why you put the video here. Please explain the burn... so I may be burned. I'm a little slow.

Quote from The Inhaling One

@Sardonic Pickle You just got yourself a loyal subscriber. I can't wait to see more content from you.

Thanks man!

Quote from LinkSkywalker

Be honest, though. You only posted this thread because you enjoyed making that title pun.

A mere coincidence.

I recommend those games if you're a fan of his character.

Quote from LinkSkywalker

(Kokiri Kid got a little big for his britches, Kilovh. He thinks he's tough shit now).

*sitting on a chair in a dark corner of the room, wearing a bowler's hat.*

*lights a smoke*

Yeah... they used to call me Kokiri Kid...

Around these parts, it's a completely different ball game, see? It was a different time, I was a child. A kid... of the Kokiri kind.

*squints at his left hand, holding his cigarette. Takes a slow drag.*

Now, I'm a man with a bowler's hat for some reason.

Huh... go figure.

Catcha 'round kid

*rises up, puts out his cigarette under his shoe and leaves the room*

Second girl would be "Femshep?"

Nice! That or Samus.

Quote from LinkSkywalker

It doesn't seem that expensive. ~$40? It's certainly not as cheap as most used games, but it's not as expensive as a new game.

Now, Chrono Trigger...

In the stores here: $150 AUD which i have no idea what that is in USD. Maybe the PAL version is rarer.

Quote from Cressel

What is this facebook?

Better

Quote from LinkSkywalker

Remember that Nintendo 64 Kid video? That's a moment he and I shared. I got my N64 on Christmas morning, and I was fucking *floored.* My parents never did that kinda stuff. Video games were something that rich kids had. Having video games for myself for the first time was totally unexpected and delightful.

I also have fond memories of strapping rubber bands all over my controller so I could input the code in Shadows of the Empire.

Haha why rubber bands?

Quote from Kaynil

I have never played any single one, but they seem fun when they get Indy quirks and the movies humour right.
I just remember the first one you reviewed as the Nintendo Fanboy, it seemed very glitchy.

It was, but at least it was harmless and funny glitchy.

I really enjoy when they get the movies' humour down.

I am in recovery, have been for almost a decade. Never looked back.

Stupid addiction.

My job is pretty physical. It's just part time though. I want to exercise more, gyms scare me though and they cost money. So maybe just running up and down the stairs + push ups?
