I maintain that anyone who is capable of drinking with a "hangover" has never experienced a real, proper hangover.
Oh, how wrong you are. Whilst attending college; my friends and I made a homebrew drink consisting of anything alcohol related that we could lay our grubby little mitts on, the primary ingredients being vodka and whiskey. The finished concoction was a lurid green in colour.
I woke up the next day with absolutely no memory of the events following my consumption of the poisonous elixir and with a vomit inducing headache. If there had been a button marked "suicide", then I would have pushed it without hesitation; the pain was overwhelming. Every time I so much as lifted a finger, a surge of agonising pain would travel through every inch of my body.
I only just about managed to rise from my bed and stumble to my sink in order to empty my guts of the foul liquid within. I then spent the next two days lying on my bed, with no visual or aural stimulation, rising only occasionally to dry-heave. On the third day I forced my self to get up and walk to my friend's house (all the while still barely able to stand), at whom's the dreaded drink had been ingested. I then had to endure listening to the pitiful tale of the drunken man, who had hit on a friend's housemate with all the charm of a seedy politician, redecorated the walls with vomit and eventually had to be physically dragged home by two angry (and potentially ex) friends.

Believe me, I know what it is to experience a hangover.
On a slightly happier note; my e-mail regarding LucasArts made the star letter over at the GameCentral towers. You can read it here...
I'm not sure if you meant to say balloons or baboons, but I'm fairly sure the former would be easier to source and less angry about having the number fifty branded on them.
I'm leaving to go to foreign land that shall not be disclosed but it is to the south of America and there are drug cartels there for a week. Place has internet access, but won't be using my phone or something to post very often. See y'all then!
Watched two and a half Harry Potter movies last night. Watched one and a half so far tonight. Getting started on five, might manage to make six tonight. Hopefully I can talk my friend into stopping our painting project early and watching Deathly Hallows part 1 tomorrow before we go to see part 2. It's been so humid lately, the paint's going to take forever to dry anyway, and I'd like to get our backdrop folded by the end of the night.
Oh, and I'm about a third of the way through the seventh book. I came so close to finishing the series in time. Oh well, it's my fourth run anyway, it's not like I don't already know what happens. Shame I won't have time to refresh myself on the finer details of the one section of the seven books that's actually in the movie I'm going to see.

Goethe, Faust. Der Tragödie erster Teil., Preliminaries, line 285.
Now that would need a digression. I'll keep it short. In this quote from Goethe's "Faust", it is Mephistopheles who speaks: the devil, undisguised. Also, we infer from the play that Mephisto is not quite so knowledgeable when it comes to the human species; specifically, he interprets everything Faust wants as a lower ambition. In Faust I, Faust wants love - and Mephistopheles does not comprehend that he has already won his bet with the human even before Faust sleeps with Margarete. While the "highest moment" comes for Faust just by being with Gretchen, Mephisto misses to promptly collect his soul for it. The devil can not imagine that this suffices, there has to be sex - which, of course, marks the terrible downfall of the Margarethe-Faust relationship.
Goethe did see that the Kantian "reason" was not necessarily the way to mankind's glory. Yet we can assume that he wasn't as pessimistic about the human heart as one of his most cynic characters.
My quote, however, wasn't really meant as positive as it was interpreted by you and doodo. Just knowing about mankind's stupidity and brutality might be a critical achievement, but not worth that much if we're not able to change based on that knowledge.
You know the most awesome cowboy who ever lived? Private Wilhelm. That guy has been to space, he has been to middle Earth, he's faced giant spiders, and he's so cunning, you never knew he's there. Until he screams, that is. He's like The Doctor, only even more badass.
Just been looking through my old GS2 ICA work for the first time in about a year, and man I can't believe I actually passed that module. It just feels so shoddy. And also for some reason I can't remember I shot in a couple of sound effects that just don't work, like the noise of a propeller which just plays once then stops and a clicking type noise for button presses which just keeps playing when a button is pressed. And this is what I'm using as part of my portfolio. I need to do some serious work on this, but will keep what I did at university as it was, so this update will hopefully show what I've learned since leaving uni.
I still don't understand the idea that it's "sad". "Somber", maybe, but sad? Then again, there are apparently people who can cry at the overly saccharine Toy Story 3, so....
It occurs to me that the majority of my posts for quite some time now have been in the Forum Games section.
Firstly, because [edit]Jake[/edit] decided that enough people are too frequently nonsensical in this thread to grant post counts to anyone at all who posts in it; second because, as of late at least, there hasn't been as much interesting conversation going on in the General Chat section; and thirdly, I find myself disinterested/indifferent in BTTF:TG, JP, Hector, or other announced future games by Telltale except for King's Quest and we've run the bashing of TTG for not being similar enough to Sierra's style well into the ground already.
It's 7:30 AM, I'm still awake without exhaustion. I should be going to bed. What the hell?
EDIT: It's now 11:00 AM and I haven't slept a wink in over 24 hours. I have to meet up with my family shortly and am now drinking beer in a vein attempt to keep my eyes open. *sigh*
I know! You're SUPPOSED to be helping me get Portal 2 achievements, not SLEEPING.
And now I get to go do yard work! Trust me, between helping you get Portal 2 achievements and mowing the lawn, I'd much rather...umm...hmm, you know, I'm not sure either sounds particularly good, now that I think about it...
There are an estimated 7 billion people. An estimated 2 billion are Christian. I would say that's a minority. Though, they are the #1 religion still. That's how die hard religious folks see it. There's "their" religion...and then there's everyone else. Guess everyone else is going to hell. Oh well, less to pack :P
Why should I be offended? I'm not trying to have problems. I'm sorry I bring them up. So, what's going on with every one else then? Any one see any good movies? I'm sorry I don't know how to properly act and I'm always talking about myself, I don't know how to approach, take in recent events. I know I don't have it THAT bad, I just don't know how I'm supposed to act.
Not surprising when any time I see your name pop up on Steam it almost always says you're playing it. I needn't talk when I've put 440 hours into a fancy spreadsheet kinda game (and 848 hours into last years version).

It's the first letter by St_Eddie by the way.

Damn straight that's a +1. I'll drink to that!

Strange ... I sometimes have the same feeling when reading your posts.
These guys realy should be more popular than they already are.

It actually turns out my RAM is the issue (as expected).
Now two of the RAM sticks that were in there were causing the blue screen on boot.
I think both came out of a old PC that had a busted motherboard.
(so its possible they are damaged)
However its also possible that those two RAM slots on that PC could be defunct as well.
For now, 1gb of RAM is good enough for my MAME cabinet.
Maybe I'll get lucky and my old man might find some other DDR 400mhz RAM thrown away by someone.
I'm probably going to upgrade the machine next year or the year after anyway! XD
EDIT: Building my MAME favourite list at the moment.
(Quick access to the good stuff when I'm feeling lazy)
the place here with internet has a preacher who just talked about how christians are now the minority and how they need to fight back
everyone nodded
You should have played a Family Guy clip that insults christians as he said it. There are millions of them.
Arggghhh... same place as before...?!
JESUS DON'T FIGHT!
And now I get to go do yard work! Trust me, between helping you get Portal 2 achievements and mowing the lawn, I'd much rather...umm...hmm, you know, I'm not sure either sounds particularly good, now that I think about it...
No offence Doodo ...
Go to My deviantArt to read my first short story and leave me some feedback. Seriously, go DO IT.
I wonder what his source is. Everything I look at still shows Christianity has the plurality.

WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN
When Frozen Synapse became the most addictive turn-based game since Civ?
