Those "Holy <beep>" moments in gaming... [possible spoilers]
I went through that cave 3 or 4 times before having every treasure. It really sucked. FREAKING WATERWRAITH. annoyed me so much :evil: I've been through that cave 3 or 4 times and I still don't have all the treasures. Never actually finished the game 100%....I should do that soon.... I was able to get it the second time around. I kept one of the leaders at the jumping-down point while the other monitored treasure collection.

What is your 'thing'?
So, a bit back in one of our classes, we had a 'friend building excersise' to get to know each other. We'd partner up, learn details about each other (birthday, age, what schools you might've gone to, etc) and what their hobbies were. As we went along, one of my friends stuck out the most - he had a huge collection of reptiles. More and more time goes on and now he's basically known for his animals that he has. So basically, what is your 'thing' that you're known for? Me, it's either history or how eccentric I am. Hah. Have fun!

Who needs 8 hours of sleep?
Bloggers can write anything they wish on their blog - including making up facts. Which is why Quoi won't accept just random blogs you find off the internet and is looking for scientific evidence that this works, as that scientific evidence is much more reliable than a blog. If you don't have time to back up your claim, then don't bother posting it.

What was the most scared you have ever been?
Yeah this. Watching 'The Descent' a couple months ago. I seriously cannot stand claustrophobia and if you've seen the movie, you know that it's filled with it. People getting stuck in caves, it's dark, etc. So I'm watching it with my parents. First creature pops up, I jump, even though I knew it was coming. My heart jumped and I had to pause for a second. Okay, we're good. So we're watching it again. Then they go through a roll of showing the people then one of the monsters pops up behind it. I could feel my entire back just wriggle up my spine (if you know that feeling, it's like someone pokes you in the side and you have to lean your torso in) and I just started crying really hard. Panic attack, you know. I was good after 20 minutes though. Other than that, I often have somewhat scary nightmares. Like the mouse from The Simpsons, he took a shotgun and blew my dads head off with me watching and ran after me and my mom. Another had me find a woman's body with it's legs, arms, and head chopped off and it's parts stabbed and bleeding. Most of my nightmares involve killers in my home. I'm the most paranoid about that, seriously. I always have my fire poker near me incase someone were to force their way through the door near me. It's like a short halberd, and I just hope it'd hold up hah. I'm super jumpy from things like that. I jump at everything. Gah. I ride my bike through my park often (not so much with it being winter now), and there's a track that goes through it with woods next to it and then a small stream in it. So I'm riding along and just out of nowhere I think to look at the woods and there's a giant dog staring dead at me. I keep going ready to peddle full force if he decides to come after me. I figure if I do that though it's guarrenteed it will. Scared me a good bit, I hate when stuff like that happens. It looked at some other people and I just started biking really fast and went home. Another time, I was walking down the hall to my living room. When you're doing that, you get a good view of the front lawn and porch. So I do it, then I see this ginormous figure on the porch. Made me jump and made my body crawl. Turns out it was the neighbors dog (we saw it out often, in which this dog killed another dog by 'playing with it', and we have a flipping chihuahua), and my dad threatened the next time he saw it that he was going to put it in our garage and call animal services to take it away. Yeah, it never got out again.

Those "Holy <beep>" moments in gaming... [possible spoilers]
Haha I've never really had that kind of moment. Closest I've had is Pikmin 2. [hide=]One of the caves, where you have the giant invincible steamroller dude who follows you around and crushes your pikmin instantly. Makes treasures hard to get. Scared the crap out of me 'cause I panicked, cause I usually tried to get all the treasures on a floor before jumping down.[/hide]

If you HAD to be on one Reality show...
List: Solitary Amazing Race Big Brother (US Version - meh) Chase (New Television show where 10 people are hunted by different people. Quite entertaining but could be much better. It fits into my paranoid, always-looking-over-my-shoulder lifestyle) Survivor

Is this our youth?
Hah exactly. Also, why are you taking ONE video as an example of an entire generation?

The IB Diploma
Doing it this year. It's pretty tough, but it's managable (as a freshman in high school). I have 2-4 hours of homework most nights, sometimes more, sometimes less. Depends on your schedule really though. What grade are you going to be in for it?

Big Cubes - and can you solve them?
Smapla (a member here who hasn't posted in OT in a while but posts on the RS part of the site often) did a 20x20x20 a while back.

The Ultimate Question - Boxers or Briefs
This. Plenty of room and stretchability. Boxers don't stretch as much for my liking.

Scores killed in Mumbai rampage
My girlfriend's father was supposed to be in that hotel today, but instead of going (for a diplomatic reason) stayed to visit her (she lives with her mother). I thought that was a bit spooky.

What's your Favorite Thanksgiving food?
DEVILED EGGS. Has no one said them? They're simply delicious. Other then that, mashed potatoes are okay, same as turkey, stuffing is AWESOME, olives, and biscuits. They're my favorite.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
My girl knows about my video game addiction and she stays with me. It's not a big deal unless you're going for that over-the-top gorgeous, preppy, more friends than she can actually count, thinks you're worthless and nerdy girl. This. Most of the girls I've dated (and the one I'm currently dating) know that I play video games often and am a huge history nerd. They don't care though.

I got a Fire Cape!
KASHI! I haven't seen you in forever. Guess who? Hahaha.

Different.
You have to wear the newest, best clothes. Males have to be jocks, females cheerleaders. Can have no association with technology in any way. You have to treat anyone who doesn't conform like scum. If you don't treat them like scum, you are scum. "Your mom", and sexual innuendos are the only insults and/or jokes. Intelligence is bad, looking good is everything. I love how untrue your list is. Untrue, is it? Where are you from? If you're talking about the actual items on the list, they are ALL untrue. Unfortunately, the people at my school cover every sitcom stereotype, and this is how they are. Perhaps it's just my school, maybe it's just yours. While a couple are true - guys have to be jocks - in general it's not true. People really meld well together, where the unpopular and popular alike are friends or talk to each other occasionally. It's pretty nice.

Your views on having close friends of the opposite sex?
Lord I get along with women better. I think it's because most of the guys at my school are huge sports freaks, but, I HATE sports. I can't stand it at all. And like someone said on the first page, they feed my narcissistic ego nicely. :P

Just curious, whatever happened to Anesthesia? I remember he just disappeared months ago.

Barack Obama is the 44th President of the United States
I believe that was Jim Cramer. Also, Warren Buffet, the richest man on Earth, endorsed Obama. Being Rich =/= make you 'know more' about the election.

Worst thing you got caught doing at school!
We watched the Oprah Winfrey interview with Elie Wiesel, and I got the horrible feeling the entire time we were watching it that everyone was thinking of me when they saw the camps.

Worst thing you got caught doing at school!
If you share your story about the girl, I'll share mine about a cheerleader I hate. It's quite funny. I hated Night...I thought it fitting to do the same to it as I did to Fahrenheit 451 - burn it. Such a stupid book. At least the Diary of Anne Frank was a decent book. People are taking sides on if I'm a communist or a nazi, or just a serial killer who hasn't been caught yet...Maybe I should stop drawing the swastika in paint or on random things...My teacher yelled at me today for having an image that said "War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength", in my screensaver image rotator, saying I couldn't have it. I asked why and he wouldn't answer me. Freedom of expression violation much? I can't share my story, I'm really embarrassed by what happened, haha. This year in my English class, we're doing a huge thing of 'anti-racism'. I mean sure, I'm against racism as much as the next guy, but most of the books are just basically: 'It's so hard to live in the white man's world, will there ever be hope for black people, oh no there will never hope, we're going to have to live in the ghetto foreevverr'. It's really irritating reading it for a month- two months straight. So "Night" brought some needed entertainment at least. Everyone was talking about how disgusting the babies being thrown into the fire were, etc, but I found it interesting as well as disgusting of course. When you see something like that, it being so different than normal, it really makes you interested. Or so I thougth at least, haha.

Worst thing you got caught doing at school!
Aside from saying things to a girl who made me angry (ruthur not go into it), I've never really gotten a detention or anything. They seem to like me. I don't try to cop an attitude and I'm fairly friendly and do my work. I get yelled at mostly for talking. A sub yelled at the girl writing on my arm today for writing on my arm. D: I'm so boring. @urbestfriend I have a huge storage of communist\nazi jokes, everyone thinks I'm a nazi. One was when we were beginning the book "night" (about a man's struggle to survive concentration camps), i said to my friends "I think this book just might pass 'Diary of Anne Frank' as my favorite comedy .. " I stopped those though because I'll probably get called up to the office for saying inappropriate jokes. Communism ones are funny though. My (nerdy) best friend and I always look up and say communism related things though in our computer class. We found out something: Mario and Stalin look creepily alike.
