had a phenomenal class this morning. thought it would go to shit at 830am, but everyone was laughing, participating, having a good time. as a teacher, that stuff makes you feel good about yourself.

its hard as hell to find a decent kessen iii video without a fedora talking over top seriously, this game is fuckin fun

have you emailed other students? some of them may have experienced this prof's style already and could help you out.

Seconding the Shadow of the Colossus and Silent Hill 2 recommendations. The Jak and Daxter games Metal Gear Solid games KESSEN. FUCKING. III Seriously I cannot recommend this game enough, though I haven't had a single person on here actually talk about playing it. It should be 20 bucks or less now. Its a mixture of RPG, strategy, and sort-of-an action/fighting game? You play Nobunaga Oda and his retainers(vassals) as he tries to unite Japan. It's completely ahistorical, but the story is pretty awesome for a KOEI game. You fight individual battles as your armies, each of which are led by your different retainers. You can switch between them in live time and issue orders to the others. The big difference between Kessen III and the other two Kessens is that this occurs in real time, not turn-by-turn, which makes it amazingly fluid. As you progress you get new characters, including some mythical ones (Hanzo Hattori, Goemon the Ninja, etc.). You also get exp in the field depending on how you fought, the exp gives you larger troop numbers and allows access to commander orders and spells. You also get gold from raids which you can use to hire new troops and weaponry, faster horses for your commanders, and spell books. To top it all off, the game is soundtracked by a full orchestra, and it is fucking AWESOME. There is nothing more epic than using your riflemen and defensive spearmen to box in a numerically superior enemy, and hold them off until your cavalry descends from a hill and fucking TRAMPLES ALL OF THEM then the trumpets in the music hit the high peak of the song and your ninjas summon a dragon to set the battered enemy remnants on fire MUAHAHAHAHA GOD FUCK I LOVE THIS GAME> Seriously, at least try this game out. Its fucking awesome and I wish it was more popular. I think the Kessen name sorta ruined its reputation. By far my most-played game on my PS2 (ahead of Rez and the Silent Hill games).

Damn, man. :/ My oat meal is cold. yeah man my sympathies as well. ive never been fired before, but I have left one job thinking that I was going to be fired (i later found out I was a great salesman, but my immediate supervisor didn't like me for whatever reason). was it because of office politics? If so, you can at least console yourself with the fact that you did a good job and you got fucked over in spite of it by some shallow assholes.

LOL i hate that problem. Ive noticed that i end most of my statements with "right?" or "ok?" I really need to get out of that habit. I basically sound like this:

that. was pretty fucking cool.

Kessen III goddamn you. Kessen fucking three.

did the Laotian whore look sorta like Justin Bieber?

\ jesus christ how could I miss this post....shows how self-obsessed we are at times. Im fucking happy as shit that this is happening for you and I hope the POS goes to jail. This is coming from a man who had a friend murdered. You know, looking at the first world problems thread, it seems like you and me have a LOT of similar life situations Stephen. We should talk.

My second precis got an "A"! and the professor said I made good insights during discussion. Also I'm almost done my first friggin book report in 3 years, wrote 6 pages in a flurry of hyperactive thinking, now the difficulty is concluding it and fixing up all the word salad.

i really want to play Europa Universalis IV but don't want to drop 40 bucks on it....plz plz Steam sale come soon...

oh man, didnt cook up a strifry, but I made some lentils that were fucking delicious. just add a little bit of butter, salt, and some sesame oil. Holy shit they tasted better than the fish!

spicy shrimp cup o' noodles for a late lunch later I shall be having some tilapia fillets with stir-fry teriyaki rice mixx yumyum in my tumtum

LOL i poured dish soap all over the floor...gonna leave it there for a day or two, wipe it up and see if anything else happens. I think I killed the majority of them, and the dish soap "blocks" them from going around to find any other microbes of food that lie around. Washing my bedsheets out of paranoia. One time in my undergrad dorm, my roommate had friends over for popcorn and a movie. Apparently a piece of the popcorn got lodged into one of my floor speakers and sat there over the spring break. When we returned, I was spending weeks killing ants on my desk with a quarter while trying to write papers. Finally figured out that it was the popcorn, and I ended up having to throw out my speaker because it was so infested. God I fucking hate ants.

woke up this morning to see ants outside my bedroom entrance. bleached the floor and wiped (I hope) all the guys out. It looked like I traced in crumbs a few nights ago when I went out to dinner. Fucking bullshit I HATE ANTS>

DAYUM was it steaming? like it incinerated him?

Living on a tight budget is driving me fucking crazy. I still have yet to get settled into this new program, and just spent a ridiculous amount of money on books, which will take me months to earn back, at which point I spend it again on books. One class required over 30 books, and I could only grab 4 in the library system. Christ. But figured out somehow to get on a food budget of 80 bucks a month, and its working so far.

America has boatloads of them. Read american news site messageboards. Massive LOLs. like this one: http://www.mlive.com/ pick a story with a black dude or something political or gun related. Excuse my huge assumptions and stereotyping, but I swear most of these open carry gun nuts would piss themselves and start rocking back and forth on the ground crying if they were thrown into actual combat. It's nice to see a level-headed and friendly cop too. I know they exist and all but lately I can't escape all the stories of trigger happy militarized police forces doing whatever the fuck they want in most parts of the U.S. yeah I can't believe I'm actually seeing a well spoken cop knowledgeable and without the high school bully authoritarian streak. good on him.

....the fuck? James Franco? They must be really desperate for roastees.

Just finished the entire Sopranos series. Overall a pretty awesome show, though I couldn't help but feel that the quality of the show declined rather quickly (to me s1 and 2 were by far the strongest, s4 seemed to be a marked decline). Tony's philandering and psychiatry meets just seemed too repetitive (fucking go to the shrink or don't you fucking moron). The cast did a phenomenal job. My personal favorites were Adrianna, Christopher (im guessing hes a fan favorite?) and Junior (when he shoots Tony is such a perfect mixture of shock and comedy....LOL grandpa flippin out....wait....wait a minute he just shot a guy!) Lastly, and I think this is probably because Im so detatched from the series as it actually ran on TV....I thought the ending was pretty fantastic. I'm pretty sure it's meant to mean Tony died, hence our viewpoint was cut off from Tony's sensory perception (his brain penetrated by a bullet). I haven't really read up on it though...are there conflicting opinions?

Got an 89 on my first paper in the PhD program FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- Imposter syndrome has started to infest my synapses. Just to explain, an 89 in grad school basically means you aren't grad school material. How the hell did it come to this?

Daniel Radcliff said he filmed the last 3 films of Harry Potter drunk. the main guy is either clearly faking/overexaggerating his drunkeness, or he is a violent sociopathic alcoholic. Something just suggests this.
