    Not really, just idiotic people generally annoy me.

    So Sony fanboys?
    Or fanboys in general.

    Well, you didn't say it, so I'd say that's fair. :) At the time it made alot of sense to me. Well, it is nonsense to you.

    :D

    From a study of mind, I'd say it was unstructured , or incomplete. I think it has some sort of sub conscious meaning to it, but I could only suggest that. At any rate , it sort of creative, imaginative.

    Which makes me think I was posting it as a artist. The process of observation, forming a COHERENT sentence or coherent thought is a scientific one. The post wasn't very scientific but I believe this is post was very abstract.

    What it says about me, I'm not sure. I may have been confused. What it really says about me is that I took in ideas but was unable to restructure them into a more coherent expression of language.

    You may be able to extract hypothetical ideas from it all, real ideas that are coherent and have a sociological meaning, rather than just a personal one. But, that may take you away from the original idea, which may be lost if I can not tap into my subconscious or abstract thinking process.

    What caused this? I'm not sure, it was 4 in the morning I believe.

    Yes, I'm always a little abstract but this concept may have just fallen off the horse and rider and may simply be discredited all together as it's not coherent and there's no scientific way to piece it back together as far as I can see at the moment.

    Waking up at 11:06 and my head feels like someone is standing on it. Debauchery might not be my strong suite.

    Condolences to the hung over. I used to not get that way despite how much I drank. Then I took a few months off from drinking, and this past Wednesday, BAM! Lost my whole day.

    I checked. Thankfully, I didn't drink *that* much.

    I spy Terry Pratchett! And, may I say, Reaper Man is a great choice to start with! One of my favorites.

    Oh good. If there had been, I would have been rather worried.

    NICE! Now I only need to find an appropriately morbid cereal to eat in it. I'm thinking oatmeal since it would look like brains.

    The one song not on the soundtrack because it's on Aiz's solo album.

    To the supermarket! Eh...that's a long ways away. Maybe tomorrow. Or I could substitute tomato sauce. Probably taste just fine.

    Woo boy! It was a long drive (2 hrs there, two hours back), but it was certainly worth it.

    My arcade machine has been a real treat!

    The fascinating thing about it, is that the original creator seems to have put a lot of effort into making it.

    The orignal light-up marque is still intact and in good condition (still works!), and the original coin mech seems to be there as well (and its functioning as well! :D).

    Heck, it even as the original sega license plate on the back!

    Don't know if the speakers are original though (they are a little dodgy as the sound sometimes cuts out but its simply loose wiring, something me ol' man can easily fix).

    The screen is an absolute beauty.
    I don't know what type of screen it is, some sort of LCD considering how flat it is, but the picture quality is very clear, clean, colourful, and I've seen no ghosting whatsoever.
    Its also bigger than a standard monitor.

    The PC itself though is nothing special.
    The Pentium 4 2.53 processor is pretty good for MAME, but the graphics card was 64mb and the Ram was only 256mb
    Even worse, was that it was a 256mb SDRAM, meaning if I want to beef it up, I'll need to get a new motherboard.
    But thats not a huge cost really, (we got some DDR and DDR2s lying around we can use).

    The only other niggel, is the controls.
    The buttons seem just a tad too spaced out, making fighting games need a bit more effort to get used to.
    The joysticks definately need to be changed eventually.
    Very stiff, diagonals not very good.
    Does the job for most games, but in fighters, the lack of fluidity is very notable.

    Overall though, £245 was ridiculously good value for it though.

    I probably would have cost me £400-500 to build my own by scratch.

    I don't think that the post office would accept my grotesque creation anyways. It would probably be marked hazardous waste and disposed of posthaste.

    It's more this particular dish. I can make some very tasty things, too. But those tend to disappear very quickly for some reason that I can't fathom.

    No! Really? Why would they disappear? I suspect devilry is at work here.

    Was out a bit earlier, spotted several really good looking girls.

    So naturally right now girls are on my mind... and nowhere else, as usual :p

    Tomp hasn't been active regularly for nearly a year now, but he still posts from time to time.

    And Rather Dashing gave up I believe.

    As State appointed IRL friend to the Dashing, I can confirm that he exists and still Internets every day. The problem is that those Goo.gl links he was so fond of posting in gave readouts on how many clicks his links got. The results? It was so few as to convince him that no one was reading his posts or clicking his links in any appreciable capacity.

    This, combined with the devolution of the post quality on the forums (leaving him, in effect, a short story sized island in a sea of tweets) left him with no choice but to exile himself. He says he'll return when we deify him, though. He wants mythology and everything. Trufax.

    As for Tommy Privates, I can tell you this: he shows up on Skype fairly often, although I don't know him well enough to ever call up and ask.

    Sincerely yours,

    -Comrade Pants

    Elder in the Elevated Caste of the Telltaluminati.

    Ia Telltale! Ia Samandmax!

    EDIT AND ALSO RANT: Please, no mod get mad at me for this, but Hamza? Your crap posts (Elipses to drive up post counts are not actual posts) were cited as part of the problem. Fix it.

    Reprimand me if you want, but I'm merely relaying a sentiment that we can all agree with. My constant and consistant banter with Alcoremortis is hardly better, but damn - at least it's coherent and made up of actual fucking words. /rant

    Yes Dashing gave up when telltale has both his favorite adventure games, and comic book series at the same time.

    Aw, don't be sad, Dashing, I don't click on anybody else's goo.gl/bit.ly/whatev.er links, either.
