Bad Habits
I piss in the bathtub. And I pick my nose and eat it. Am I serious? Perhaps? No pic no proof? WHAT. None of my habits are bad. Procrastination is good, you see.

For all us cynics out there...
Everyone of my best friends (Except my current one, of course) has backstabbed me. I've had a big argument with all but two of my current friends at some point. No, not debates over politics or religion, not silly fights - Arguments to the point where I didn't consider them friends anymore. I don't know if it caused it, or was a result of it, but I don't trust anyone. The result from that is that no one knows anything about me, and I know a ton of about them (YERSH I IS CREEPY STALKER), which is nice, but still. There is only one person I'd say I'm close with. Life_mage also summed up my thoughts well. There's been studies showing that the average intelligence is increasing, but I fail to see how. However, I'd like to point out that that's generally only the case in the west - Yea, entertainment is popular in China and Japan, but education and whatnot is highly valued. Unlike here in America. Where we eat fast food all day while sitting in front of TVs.

Snow & Snow Days
Wow, it started snowing Friday afternoon (Like expected), it snowed all day Saturday, and it's still snowing now. Someone brilliant decided NOT to cancel church service, and since my dad was translating today, we had to go. The normal 20-minute drive turned into an hour or so. I want a delay tomorrow. Maybe even a snow day. It'd be rather strange though, having this long weekend, one day of school, and then break. ARGH.

Teenage school hacker might face 38 years in jail.
38 years is a bit over the top, and especially for a teenager. To be honest, he was already punishing himself by cheating and hacking. Even if it weren't for the 38 years, he probably wouldn't have gotten far in life. (Though perhaps he would have planned an extremely intricate robbery... :? ) However, since he was messing with other people's grades...Eh.

Do you like to read?
I'm prolly one of the biggest LOTR fans in this board. Only other person I can recall is GSW Never paid attention to my posts? :cry: (I kid, I kid... ;) ) I'd say we're the two biggest LotR fans out of the frequent posters in OT. (If you search "Lord of the Rings" in OT, you'll find that 90% of the posts are either my posts or people quoting me. :lol: ) Books you read for school tend to suck. Except for the ones I'm reading this year. Because my teacher is awesome. Or at least they seem to suck when you read them, because you have to analyze it so much (Though this year, we're simply reading, which is great). That's why I, like pryomancer, hated To Kill a Mockingbird when we read it, yet I think it's pretty good now.

Do you like to read?
Lord...of...the...Rings? Typical response from me. :) I read more than the average person that I know, so I guess I would say I like to read. However, I used to love to read, now I would prefer playing video games but I still constantly read. Other than everything written by Tolkien, Ender's Game is probably one of my favorites. The other three in the series aren't as great, but still good, I suppose.

Is Lying Okay?
^^ Yep. That's why though I'm honest when it's somewhat serious. Sometimes the cold hard truth is better than the sweet, poisonous lie.

Snow & Snow Days
You're not on Winter Break? :? Mine starts next Wednesday. But now it already feels like vacation. But it isn't. Snow isn't as great as it sounds. I'd take the weather in Taiwan (Rainy, humid) over the weather here in cold, snowy Boston any day.

What is your 'thing'?
...Are you ViktorKrum version 3? #-o (If you have no idea what I'm talking about, just forget about it...)
-
What is your 'thing'?
*raises hand* I do!! :lol: So there's some hope for me? :) Apparently I'm to most people, I'm actually that quiet Asian kid in the corner who never talks. A lot of people don't know my name. The girl who sits next to me in history still doesn't. #-o To people who know me, I'm what I described in my last post. And apparently this Chinese exchange student says I'm a damn renegade from Taiwan. :lol: Edit: Oh yea, I'm also known for turning everything into physics, whether it's a joke or not. :D
-
Is Lying Okay?
I exaggerate a lot. I'm sarcastic a lot. I lie a lot. I try to avoid harmful lies though. (Rumors, for example) Also, when it comes to white lies, I try to throw a bit of truth in there. I totally just contradicted myself, but whatever. ;)

Snow & Snow Days
So apparently we get an early release tomorrow. I still have my math test (Eh), but no history or English for the third day in a row. :P
-
For all us cynics out there...
I'd say I'm a bit misanthropic. I just don't like people. I don't know why, they (we?) annoy me and I don't trust them. (I don't trust myself either?) According to my parents, I was a happy kid. I'm pretty sure I know why, ignorance was definitely bliss. As I grew and I learned more about the world, heard/learned about tragic events and whatnot, I made some conclusions and decided that life isn't always as great as it seems. Though I can't decide if I'm too serious and too sarcastic. :wall:
-
What is your 'thing'?
Wow those smileys are scary... Anyway, apparently my reputation is that Asian uber-nerd who has no life. The only reason I still use Facebook is because people are always asking me what the homework is/help on their homework. #-o Honestly though, I suppose I'm known for being smart. I'll be arrogant and claim I'm probably the best guy at math in my grade, I'm also above average in physics and history. I guess I'm also known for pen-spinning, took a few years to catch on but I heard someone say "He's the master!" the other day. :P And Lord of the Rings. Obviously. No one else runs around quoting it all day. No one refers to it every few minutes either.

Guess the Game
By the way, it was actually a conquest victory. Whoops. Probably was one of the times I did a gallic warrior rush on a duel map. Meh.

Snow & Snow Days
Agh, I hate people who don't shovel their sidewalks... We got some snow yesterday, it froze over. We're supposed to get a ton tomorrow. Three days left until break. I want Tuesday off. :|

Guess the Game
Correcto. Indy, that's right, but they're still very, very unaggressive. I've only had the AI start a war with me ONE TIME in TWO YEARS. AAAAAUUUGH. Piss them off in every way possible? (Though that's so obvious I'm sure you're already doing it...) You could try the RFC mod. Megaloads of fun. Apparently the AI is more aggressive. Eh. And sometimes other civs will declare on you to be historically accurate. Also, don't play against peaceful civs/leaders (Like Gandhi). Face the Vikings. They like war. And porn. Anyyyyyway...Back to guessing.

DarkFall - Officially Launched
Emergent gameplay. Probably one of the best features to have ever have been created alongside games in general, naturally, and not forced upon by developers/the game. In a game with so much freedom, there should be a ton of that in DarkFall. Which would be awesome. And I tried Runes of Magic by the way, it's basically a buffed up version of RuneScape. And I mean that pretty literally...Similar leveling system (You level up things like carpentry by doing it over and over), similar name, but with better graphics and I suppose better gameplay. Still a huge grind though, which is why I'll probably stop playing within a week.
-
Guess the Game
Yep. And yes, it's the Domination Victory cutscene, basically the only victory I can ever achieve. Though I haven't played a regular game in a long time. I think I'll go try right now. And pop in AoE2 later. ;)

Who wants to live forever?
As long as that's possible, I see no reason why I wouldn't want to. Its called living forever for a reason :P You don't live forever if you can die. Well, it depends on whether we're talking about immortality or invincibility. Lenin covered it well.
-
Guess the Game
thought that, but no, the pieces are different IIRC. Close, but no cigar. And no, not Chessmaster 9000. Didn't even know that was a game. ;)

Father named child Adolf Hitler, and asks for tolerance
"JoyceLynn [Caution] Nation Campbell" What kind of name is THAT?
-
Guess the Game
Probably because it as an MMO released in 2001? :? A free MMO as well. (Anarchy Online, not the game I'm posting...) This will either be really hard or really easy:
-
Guess the Game
Looks slightly similar to Anarchy Online. (Eh...It's a stretch) Or some other random MMORPG. (Tabula Rasa, perhaps?)
