    RetroVortex, Why does your user title say that you have sex with moonshine?

    Consummate means to complete. It's used to mean sex because of the idea that a marriage (or, by extension, a relationship) isn't complete until you have sex. But it doesn't have to mean sex. RetroVortex might be completing moonshine in a different way >.>

    Look at that Rapture has been "delayed"

    I swear someone set an interview for him today. I really want to see it.

    I read that he wasn't answering the phone and the radio station was closed. Today I thought of making a poll which asked 'Did you get raptured?' until I realised the inherent flaw...:D

    It's not a big deal. You can say arse all you want. Us Americans generally say "ass," though.

    Oh they do, but it's like China. They have internet access but are unable to visit sites with outside opinions. What? You didn't know Heaven was communist? Think about it...

    Happy Day-After-the-End-of-the-World, everyone! Well, looking back on things, America was fairly well prepared for the Rapture.

    Glad our tax dollars are paying for those urgent CDC messages.

    So if everyone who was going to be saved is already gone, that just leaves us sinners left, with no hope of salvation, right? So there's no point in following moral standards anymore? OK, I'll keep that in mind.

    Actually, the logic behind the Zombie Apocalypse CDC thing is that a) it would get a lot more attention then a normal CDC post, and b) most everything it tells you to do is recommended in any disaster situation. The idea being to sneakily educate people who normally wouldn't go anywhere near the CDC site.

    It also inspires patriotism. I am far happier to be an American knowing that this jewel is floating around cyberspace.

    This explains why nobody I know has been raptured. This ... or I only know sinners. Including myself.

    I've only played BTTF ep. 1, but I want to be able to play the entire BTTF season so I can say first hand why it's terrible. I don't, however, want to pay TTG money for it and thereby encourage the further disparagement of the Adventure Game genre.

    Have you tried pressing Alt and F4 yet? If not, then don't do it. I'm serious.

    Been watching some Street Fighter videos on youtube, and its giving me the itch as it were.

    Now since, Street Fighter 3 isn't out XBLA yet, I can't play that, so I'm thinking about trying to get back into Super Street Fighter 4.

    I'll admit, I'm only good with Ryu, Ken and Dan, so I want to expand my horizons a bit.

    I have been practising on Street Fighter Alpha 2 on my MAME cabinet, and I seem to be playing as Charlie quite a bit.

    However, playing as Guile on Super Street Fighter 2, I don't like him quite as much as Charlie (the two have a suprising amount of differences).

    May give Bison or Vega a shot.
    I like Vega's agility, but Bison seems to be better at mindgames.

    And you can't do the same for 3S or play it on GGPO, why?

    I can play 3rd strike on my MAME cabinet.
    But even with the new sticks, its still not really ideal (I'm going to get some Sanwa sticks eventually, maybe get them next month).
    (Plus I might need to get some new buttons as well. current ones are small, concave things, sanwa might be good here too...)

    Plus Street Fighter Alpha 2 is pretty easy going, compared to Alpha 3 (which seems to be much harder on default settings).

    My best stick at the moment is still my Hori EX2 on my 360.

    Hang on. I just remembered. I got the xbox version of Street Fighter 3 and that works on 360.
    Hopefully I can reconfigure the controls for it.
    (But then again, I don't really want to get my xbox copy out, as its suprisingly valuable, and I don't want it to get damaged)
    (I also have Marvel vs Capcom 2 on xbox and xbox 360, as the xbox disc barely works on my xbox anymore (its in pretty poor condition (I played it A LOT)))

    Also, I don't really play fighters online, (I get tired quickly, and on some games like King of Fighters 2002, Blazblue and Marvel vs Capcom 2, I will get DESTROYED since, though great compared to casual and beginners, I'm pretty crappy compared to more experienced players).

    Street Fighter 4 doesn't have that issue so much, since its less hardcore.

    EDIT: Great...
    Older brother has my disc...
    Guess its a quick session on KOF 2002 UM then..

    Are you sure you're not me? Because that sounds just like me. Hey, we mediocre players could play together! :D

    Do all of your closest gamer friends not play fighting games at all?
    (One has an affinity for FPS, another for RPGs, and the last one just loves RTS)
    If so, then yeah. You pretty much are like me.

    I have a grand total of one friend that actually plays fighters, the others only play Smash at most.

    Little guy can actually stand on 'is own two feet now. When he's finished, I'll be taking him outside for a photo shoot, because I'm bloody tired of having to take pics of him with my webcam. I just need to solve the puzzle of what to make his hands out of.

    I did consider sporks, but they're too easily breakable, and I want Gnomey to last. I've named him Gnomey. Maybe mittens for hands or carved wood...I don't know what to do. I also recently discovered Hidden Peeple have ears, which is going to turn into a real thorn in my ass.

    This is really coming together! I look forward to the upcoming photoshoot.

    Also, who needs arms, anyway? Just say that he lost them in a tragic work related incident. It will give Mr. Hidden some character!

    I desperately need to just bypass Sunday and skip straight to Monday. Can I do that? The alternative is moving a couple tons of flagstone.

    Turns out I couldn't bypass Sunday. And I lied, it was about three tons. Oddly enough, my arms don't feel so bad (though that could be the Advil). No, it's my hands and feet that are in agony.

    You know what would really help?

    But more seriously, for sore/cramped/whatever hands and feet...frozen peas. Seriously. It's much better than using a normal ice pack because the nature of a bag of frozen peas is to conform to whatever appendage needs to be iced, which is always a good thing.

    Also, a hand support might be a good idea, but only if it turns out to be a long-term porblem.
