Randomness

[TurtleTuck]

lol is there anything more boring to talk about than pencils?
well, maybe various cactus speicies...maybe

[Loofiloo]

I cannot remember the last time I bought a pencil or a pen or lead. I always just find them on the floor at school. I guess I'll have to buy some eventually, once I'm not in school anymore.

[Everlast]

That is exactly what I do.

[Was It Me?]

I always am having to find / buy new ones since my friends always "borrow" them from me, and I rarely get them back. :rolleyes:

[blue_moon]

Same here, except mine are stolen.

[Xap]

When people ask me for a pencil, I always give them the used-up ones with no erasers.;)

If the #2 pencil is supposed to be the best, why is it still #2? :D

[Loofiloo]

We covered that already.

[Samail]

Whoops. Guess I missed that. (Wow. Missed about 3 pages of it.)

[???revived]

Pencils are a serious topic of discussion... :P

[Loofiloo]

Yep... We certainly do tend to ramble. I just wish people felt like rambling about Suvival Crisis Z instead. -_-

[Samail]

Well, I might ramble if I had ever heard of it, or them... or that place... Ah screw. To the Wikipedia!

[Everlast]

It seems Wikipedia is popular to everyone except teachers. Most all of my teachers at school say Wikipedia is bad because anyone can edit it, but I say it's good because everyone can edit it. It makes it so the website is updated almost immediatly when anything happens, world wide. But still my teachers don't like it. :confused:

[Samail]

Ya I know. I also read on the Wii News Channel that a college (can't remember the name) has now banned the use of Wikipedia for reasearch papers. They say it's a good place to start, but unacceptable to end research. :confused: I do see their point though. But I still like the Wikipedia. (Some of my teachers actually encourage it's use.)

[Hmm. This thread is getting more and more off topic, and less and less random. :D]

[Everlast]

Well, if this thread had a topic then yes, it would have probably gone way off topic by now. :)

[Loofiloo]

Well... Most of the teachers in my school haven't heard of wikipedia, and I'd bet a few of them haven't heard of the great series of tubes known as the internets. But you can't expect much more when you live in Hillbillyland, Tennessee.

I think I really live in an interesting town. It isn't much, but the people who've lived here their whole life take so much pride in it. It's kind of charming. All the other people just seem so... Out of place. If you don't originally come from this town, then you're probably too good for it. If you've lived here your whole life, it's just right. Most people don't plan to live here their whole life... But you can immediately identify the ones who aspire for nothing more.

Yeah, I know. Yours are meaningful. When The Slade is not posting in the weapons suggestion thread, he'll have a tendency to convert the thread to either "help me!" or "look at me." I mean, why would any one care about cream pie? Sorry. I just had to answer Zwaken123. Oh, and Zwaken: ask Brian to chop of the 123 part. It'll show your superiority and you aren't the average member any more! You are a SUPER STAR! Yeah, really. It'd look cool. But don't ask me to take out my underscore. I'll tell you why if you want to know

[Zwaken]

I think that's a good idea...NO MORE 123!!! I'll see what Brain can do.

EDIT: I sent a Private Message to Brian asking if he could change it.

[Loofiloo]

This is why I always pick a name nobody else would think of.

I thought up a great new username the other day, and I couldn't believe I never thought of it before. It'd be Trooth, which is a combination of my first and last names, conveniently enough. It's memorable, unique, and meaningful. I've been using Loofiloo for everything since about fifth grade, and I'm pretty surprised that this thought never occurred to me.

[Zwaken]

Announcment: This is my 1st post on my Windows Vista: Home Premium Computer. I built it with a little help from my Dad, and it's working really well. I just figured out that I can edit the noise that plays when you turn on your computer. I'm gunna change it to a part of a Rush song :):):)

[Loofiloo]

I think that feature's been around for a while, unless they took it out for XP. I know my brothers did that several times with our old computer that used 3.1 or 95. For a while it was the Miami Dolphins' theme song, then at some point it was a song from the Lion King. :D Hey, it was the 90s and we were kids.

[blue_moon]

Yeah, you can still do it on XP. I did. IT ROCKS! When it starts up, it says: "Mom and or Dad, get off the computer. Now.", when I shut down, my computer yells: "NOOO, DON'T KILL ME!!!" and when I double-click, instead of making a tiny beep nobody notices, um, I found a website that you can download some one farting for .5 seconds so I used that.

[Samail]

Actually, even Windows 95/98 do that.:) I made it so it says "Greetings, professor." in a creepy robotic voice. I also have XP and Linux on the same computer.

[Zwaken]

It was good advice too.

[Everlast]

I don't get it, what was wrong with the 123? *is confused*

Oh and I have a very good annoucement! I have officially paid for Pocket Tanks Deluxe, via the mail! :D Yay! I just got the receipt e-mail today, verifying that I paid for it, with the download link! Although I didn't really need the download link...............anyway, hurray! I feel better now. :)

[Zwaken]

I think it got in the way of the true meaning of Zwaken...I'll look that word up in dictionary.com!

OK, it's not a real word...there is no meaning of Zwaken so the 123 was gotten rid of becuase Zwaken just sounds cleaner/better than Zwaken123.

Uhm..... Avast, matey?

[Loofiloo]

I had this really freaky dream last night... It felt like some kind of a psychological thriller/horror movie. It was probably the most intelligent-sounding dream I've ever had.

It was really long, but the freakiness started with me standing at my back door one evening. Some guy let me inside, and there was evidently some kind of high-class party going on, with people in tuxedos and everything. Now for some reason, this guy said something totally weird to me. He says "Every person lives within their own individual reality. Some things that exist in one reality may not be there in another person's. Now when these two realities meet... The one in which something is not present will try to... Compensate."

At that point, one of the party guests started flashing white, somehow indicating that I could see him, but he was not present in my reality. At that point, everybody in the party vanished, and something appeared on my TV screen. The highlighted man appeared on there, and it looked as if his eyes and the contents of his mouth had been removed. At this point, I tried to close my eyes, but no matter what, I could still see him. I tried looking away, but the image was then projected onto the wall. After that, I saw many tiny golden pins beginning to protrude from a small jar, about the size of a can of film. I immediately believed it was a torture device, and I now wanted more than ever to look away. I knew that this device, covered with razor-sharp pins was going to be used as some kind of drill. but whatever I tried to do, as tightly as I squeezed my eyes shut, and as hard as I pressed my hands against my ears, I could see this man being tortured, and I could hear the horrible screams coming from him.

This is one of the freakiest things I've ever seen... Sometimes it scares me to see the capacity for horror possessed by my own mind, and I can't imagine what might have triggered something like this to appear in my head. I couldn't go back to sleep for several minutes.

Do you really believe that stuff about each reality? If you do, that makes two. I believed that and reincarnation since I was 2.

[Loofiloo]

I've considered it as a theory, but I don't necessarily believe it. I mean, if each person had their own individual reality, how could we be sure that there really are any other people in the world? Maybe the people you see are just part of your reality, and the fact is actually that you're the only human soul in existence.

It's stuff like this that keeps me up at night. Also stuff like what would happen if you blow out your birthday candles, and your wish is that one candle stays lit.

[blue_moon]

Possibly. But if that was the case then this was staged. Ugh! Confound it destiny!

[Zwaken]

Ya, like lets say you wanted to talk about Rollercoasters. You would most likely make a post in here that goes something like this: "Hey, I'm a big fan of rollercoasters. Does anyone else like them?"

AND WOW! I'm tranfering my music to my new hard drive and it says it'll take 25 MINUTES! That's a long time for a simple copy and paste. Well it is 2.7 GB of music...huh, it now says 15 minutes. Now 14. Now 13. It's making minutes seconds. Now 11 :P

[blue_moon]

Yeah, sometimes downloads and copy/paste transfers are like that. While my cpu had the virus I uploaded .2 gig onto a usb flashdrive (one of a million) and stored it. It took 4 minutes but said over an hour.

[Loofiloo]

I can never understand how people amass so much music. My entire collection contains around 100 songs, but everybody else I know has thousands.

[blue_moon]

I have only 4-6 favorite songs. Don't ask why.

[Samail]

My entire "My Music" folder on Windows XP is 3.38 GB. Then I have the same folder on Windows 98. So that's 6.76 GB in total. Although most of those files aren't "real" songs. I listen to a lot of... video game music. Yah yah, I know. (I tune in here (http://radio.emulationzone.org/chan9/) when I'm doing stuff like working on school work or while creating my levels for DOOM.)

But yes; I don't know how people can have thousands of songs.

[Everlast]

I'm like Blue_moon I only have 5 to 10 songs I like to listen to.

[Loofiloo]

My images folder is actually bigger than my music folder. And considering I always save my stuff as PNGs, and how much substantially larger the average music file is, that's probably a pretty good-sized image folder.

[Samail]

My "My Pictures" folder is 4.73 GB, with 79 folders in total, and 2,976 pictures in total. Wow. I've never actually taken the time to look.

[Zwaken]

I can never understand how people amass so much music. My entire collection contains around 100 songs, but everybody else I know has thousands.

I may only have 707 songs but it's 2 straight days of music :D Thanks to Rush. Out of those 707 songs, 153 of them are by Rush, and it's 13.5 hours :):):):):):):) Makes me very happy.

[Loofiloo]

My "My Pictures" folder is 4.73 GB, with 79 folders in total, and 2,976 pictures in total. Wow. I've never actually taken the time to look.

I've got about half that many files, but about an eighth that size. Unless you're saving a bunch of pictures that are too big to fit on a desktop, you could probably be saving some space with smaller file types.

[Samail]

Yes, but certain file types work better under certain curcumstances than others. (And many of these pictures are off the internet, and if you save under a different file type, it will often bug up the color a bit. Look at my avatar very closely for an example. [may need to use paint and the magnifying glass. OK, so it's a bad example.)
I'm also too lazy to save all of that under different file types. I've got a 250 GB hard drive, so I'm not woried. (I need more RAM.)

[Loofiloo]

I acquire lots of my music from A Prairie Home Companion. I swear, one of these days, I'm going to get all of you to listen to that show at least once! Since it's on public radio, you know that nobody on that show is a sellout. They've gotta be doing it for the music, not the money. And the music's good. n_n I'll post a song in a minute.

Okay, listen to this:

http://media.putfile.com/Gonna-Get-Along

It's not any kind of uber-awesome l33t song, but I just think it's really good. Although this is still a modern show, everything has a mysterious kind of nostalgic feel to it. It's as if you've heard it all as a child, but you can't remember any of it. What's great is that this is public radio, so when I post a song, it isn't like I'm stealing money from anybody. If anything, I'm encouraging more people to tune in, listen, and perhaps donate to them. =)

[Everlast]

That was nice, my only complaint is that it was slow. But that is just me, I hate slow songs, other than that I liked it.

I thought it sounded groovy. I feel like downloading it, but it says to click the "Next Page" link 20 times before download begins, and I'm afraid that site may be some sort of viral site. Ah screw it. I want the file. Some sites just do weird things like that.

Wait a minute... That song sounds VERY familiar. Is it its own song, of is it from somewhere? Oh man, this is going to drive me nuts...

[???revived]

O_O You people have huge disks! Right now mine is about 120 GB, but I still remember the days when my disk had only 20 GB... That was awful: I had to uninstall a game every time I wanted to install a new one...

[Loofiloo]

My old computer had 40 GB, but I added a second, 80 GB hard drive when I built my new computer. So... 120 GB total. It was getting really cluttered though, so I basically just saved some essential files and wiped both hard drives. As of this post, I have about 87 GB free. =) I'd have less if I actually bothered to reinstall have my games.

As for The Sheridan Stomp... I'm pretty sure it doesn't come from anything but A Prairie Home Companion. Wikipedia doesn't show any significant results. Absolutely nothing on Google when you look for "Sheridan Stomp"

[Zwaken]

I've only got 40 GB. 38.7 to be exact ;)

I have 80 GB. My old computer, only has 30 GB. I still keep the old one in my room, because it has a few games on it that I like.

[Zwaken]

WOW! That's a lot of memory...

[Everlast]

Wow, that's a lot, but my friends computer beats that, with a whopping 500 GB. (His dad is constantly updating his computer)

[Samail]

NOOOOOO! Well, I accept defeat in the hard drive battles...

[Zwaken]

What do people do with all of that space? Download all of the random stuff on the internet they can find :confused:

I kinda wana change the topic...anyone else?

[Imposter]

Yeah, I used to have only 20 GB and so I bought and external hard drive with 150 GB and then my computer got upgraded to 150 GB.

[Loofiloo]

Well... Movies take up a lot of space. People with bigger hard drives probably save lots of movies. Either that, or they play entirely too many computer games. Personally, I go to my brother for my movie needs. But his hard drive is even smaller than mine, so he just burns stuff to DVD and then deletes it from his drive.

[Samail]

Holy crap. I have Windows Live messenger 8.1, and it automatcially informs me when there are new posts. So far, that's about 10 or more in the last minute. Oh, there goes another one!

[Zwaken]

I kinda wana change the topic...anyone else?

I guess not!

Except for you Samail...:)...and then in the next post, not. ;)

[Samail]

My movies folder only has 5 movies, and it takes up 37.5 GB.

[Zwaken]

I guess I should just go with the wave then...

My house is filled with hard drives...if you added all of the GBs of memory you would get something over 2000.

EDIT: 1,500 posts made...hm? It doesn't change from Super Star to anything? Strange, I was kinda expecting a change.

[Everlast]

My computer has 7 USB ports...wonder why it has so many. :confused:

[Zwaken]

For 7 flash drives :D

Really? Then you MUST give this a try:

Your hard drive contains a circualr disk, just like a CD, except that it's thicker and made of metal I beleive. (They're called "platters" You hard drive spins this platter stupidly fast.

Now, take the cover off of your hard drive, and set it up outside of your computer. (may need a long cord.) Turn your computer on, and the plater will start moving up to speed.
Then, simply give the drive a nudge, and watch the fun! The platter will then go careening accross the room, destroying anything in it's path!
This is very fun if you put several platters into the drive at once.

For a demo, check this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yISqCAnROh8) out.

(By the way, this awesome activity is known as the "Disk Drop".) [2nd note: This can be a little dangerous if you're not careful.]

Yes, but still, you can never be to careful. I know how to do some nasty stuff to someones computer using their IP address that their computer won't block. I've actually tested one of these things on my own computer and it worked, of course I gave my computer a tiny dose of it. :)

I had to debate about changing for a long time. But I finally thought that because there wern't many pictures of odd snowmen I would change it to my favourite game's main character: Felix:)

[Everlast]

You mean Felix from the Golden Sun series. I like that game, I have them both, I wish they would come out with a third.

That's not what I said at all. I hacked my own computer using my own IP as the destination while I was on that computer. And I don't think Brian is gonna send the Zlob Trojan to every spammer, because he could end up in jail and I don't think Mike W. would like that. :D

Not to mention the first boss that is actually hard on KH2. Took me a few tries to beat.

This is what I have in Golden Sun 2. I have every summon in the game including the most powerful one you can only get by using the tranfer method. You had to defeat Dulluhan (VERY HARD!!!). Dulluhan is like fighting two Star Magicans at the same time, with maby a Sentinal thrown in there. I have all the Dyns....Dhyns?......anyway, I have all those little animals. My character is up to like level 70, with over a 1200 hit points. I have the most powerful weapon you can get. I also have a complete atire of cursed armor. I have basically cleaned out the game. When I play it, (which is once in a blue moon) I just go to the arena, which usually ends up badly because I end up fighting boss after boss after boss. I think my record is surving a Sentinal and a Star Magican in a row, then after that came Dulluhan and he destroyed my whole party in one attack. :D

My characters are all lvl. 99, lowest HP is Sheba with 1,663, lowest attack is 654 (Sheba), lowest defense is Ivan with 534, lowest agility is Piers with 526, weapons are 3 excaliburs, 2 sol blades, 2 tisiphones edges, and 2 lachesis rules. Everything else is to the max. All the Djinn too.

[Everlast]

So that's how you spell Djinn. Lol, sorry I haven't played the game in over a year. You must have been playing forever to get all your characters to the max, I just played occasionally. But I haven't played in so long because I bought a Nintendo DS and Advance Wars 3, and started playing that a lot. Which I actually started playing again a few days ago.

[Slade]

Advanced Wars is cool. I've been playing it for over 3 straight years now:). You could say that I'm kinda obsessed...

[???revived]

I've been playing it since it came out, and go to forums that revolve around it, so I'd say I'm more obsessed...

(what pointless competition)

[Zwaken]

This May be a long post, but read it. It's funny.

WOW! I just wasted 1 and 1/2 hours of my life! On the Aqua Teen Hunger Force site, there's a game that's boring and long (1 and 1/2 hours long) and all you do is keep holding the right arrow (right is the only way you can move), jump about 5 times and kill an evil deformed brownie monster. The reason I played this? Becuase it said that if you beat it, you get to see a clip from the movie!!! I said "YES! MY ONLY WAY TO SEE PART OF THE MOVIE!!!" So I played for the 1 and 1/2 hours. There are instructions, and I'm glad I read them. At first, when I saw "teleport" as a move, I used it 5 minutes in. it warps you to the begining intead of further down. Then, I saw that Alt+F4 made you super jump. I tried this out before I even went anywhere, and guess what? It closes your browser. So then I decide to just do it the normal way, with only walk, jump, nunchuks and radioactive nunchuks (all of these ones were legit) So I keep walking and walking. AND WALKING. (all I did was jump over some rocks, jumped over a hole, and radioactive nunchucked an evil brownie fly monster clone) Until right now, 11:07. I reach the end and I'm very exited to see part of the movie early. And I saw a clip alright. But not the begging, the middle, or the spoiling end. I GET TO SEE THE CREDITS! Oh boy! So then I watch all of the credits to make sure they didn't put anything after the credits. NOTHING. NOTHING BUT CREDITS. If ya wana waste your time, there's no better way than to do that.

[Loofiloo]

I think I'm starting to get bored with these forums. -_- It's mostly because there's too much talk and not enough discussion. Discussion would imply that each post will have some thought put into it, and contain something interesting, profound, and compelling. But talk doesn't necessarily require mental activity, doesn't necessarily have to be a sentence, and doesn't have to contribute anything to the forum's posterity.

So... I'm not going to be a moron and flame the whole board, then storm off in a tantrum, but I'll probably just be posting less. Still be updating the CYOA though. I wouldn't abandon something like that. =)

"L" because it has no line of symetry.

I use the Default of Default. The Original of Original. The First of First. The Chicken of Wing.

On this forum's default B, the top part is clearly smaller than the bottom.

What kind of story?

[John Brooks]

Bummer.

[Loofiloo]

What kind of story?

I guess it'd be considered a fantasy story. It's about a secluded village in the forest, possibly some magic, other unexplained things. Right now I've only got about six paragraphs. The first three are outlining the setting, and the second three are providing a little background information on a couple of characters. The second three probably need more work though. I'm not totally satisfied with them. I test my satisfaction with a piece of writing by going back to read it the next day. If I can read it a second time a day later, and think it still sounds good, I can usually stick with it.
