The Offical TIF American Elections thread
So lesser of two evils. Whichever one you prefer: 1. Continue a long, drawn-out war, many people die. Both good people and bad people. Costs a ton of money. 2. Implement universal healthcare, save many people. Both good people and bad people. Costs a ton of money. :| 40 minutes until first polls close. Yay. I hope this is a valid excuse to procrastinate...

Game Hunting
For free MMOs, 99% of them are rubbish, I found Silkroad fun for no apparent reason, but Anarchy Online and Perfect World are probably the best in general.

I like black GC controllers the best, but I find that they're easier to break. If I'm lazy and I don't want to reach a few feet to get it, I'l just use the Wiimote/Nunchuk. No difference for me, most of the time.

Stabbed in the Back...?
I hate backstabbers. My current 3 worst enemies used to be 3 of my best friends. -.- (And I swear, it was all them, I'm a nice little boy) If this happened out of the blue, something is up. If there's been a bit of tension between you guys for a while, just simply move on and forget about it. It sounds like this was really random, give it some time, and try to find a way to talk to him. If he refuses, I'd just move on and let go.

A Football
Reminds me of The Sandlot... :? Asking a few more times, then threatening to call the authorities, then actually calling the police sounds fine. If you live in a big city, with a lot of crime, then perhaps the police won't do anything, but if it's as peaceful as my neighborhood, you can get the police to come for anything...

Reveal Confessions, Secrets & Regrets...
Hm, I just realized, we don't do the pledge at my high school. Not like I've said it in a few years, I'm still not an American citizen.

The history of your forum/game name.
Penguinduck3 came from the fact that I liked penguins and ducks (...I was 11), I wanted a number. I used 2, but messed up that account. Penguinduck3 came later, then Penguingeek3...Somehow. Now, I use LuinIthil for most things. Or ThurinEthir. Or other random Elvish (Sindarin) words. For the record - Luin Ithil isn't proper grammar, it should be Ithil Luin, which I was unaware of when I first used it. Oh well. I've also used Confucius or KungFuTzu a few times, because he's so damn awesome.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Trailer!! .:UPDATE!:.
I'd say the first two were good, the third was okay, fourth was a great book but lousy movie, and fifth failed (both book and movie).

The Offical TIF American Elections thread
Last time, I think it took less than 24 hours after the first polls closed, and that's with Kerry demanding a recount in Ohio. First polls close at 8 PM EST I think, last close at 1 AM? If it isn't too close (And that'll most likely be the case), a winner should be apparent pretty quickly.

If you could...
1. Confucius. Awesome guy? 2. J.R.R. Tolkien. Awesome author? 3. Jesus... 4. Leonidas. Um...Yeah. 5. Masahiro Sakurai. The guy in charge of Brawl and also voiced Dedede. None of them speak the same language. :thumbup: (Well, I forget, maybe Jesus knew some ancient Greek, Tolkien probably learned a ton of languages...)

What do you look for in a boy/girl?
I don't care much about my looks, I don't care much about other people's looks. Or at least I claim. Appearance is only a plus for me, at this point I know most of the girls in my grade and what they're like, so appearance wouldn't play a huge role. Of course, I wouldn't want some fat chick. Or a really anorexic one. A bit skinny is fine, healthy obviously is good. And I must say, I prefer brunettes. Intelligence is a must, not just in school, but also needs to know how to handle themselves in the real world. So not some antisocial nerd who stays home all day and studies. Nice. Well. I don't even know why I need to explain, but I like respectful people, thank you. And also can't be one of those people that cares a ton about fitting in and looking good and all that crap. Being Christian is also a plus. There you go Mage.

[Please Lock] I ate a piece of glass....
You know what, this reminds me of the guy who claimed he ate a bottle of hand lotion or something. And that was an epic thread. (By any chance, do you have a muscular liver?)

Smash Club.
True, and I forgot, I do have friends who suck enough that we allow them to use the C Stick, so they have a chance. (They can't do a smash with analog + A... #-o ) The Gamecube controller is a lot better, but I find myself using the Wiimote/Nunchuk a lot. If it's a serious battle (1v1 to see who's better usually), I'll go with GC though.
-
Smash Club.
We give the GC controllers to the people that suck the most. You'd be surprised how many times the guy with Wiimote + Nunchuk wins.
-
Smash Club.
Because we only have 3 Gamecube controllers? And if 3 people can C-stick, but one can't, that's a bit unfair... Though these are the same people that banned ledgeguarding. I convinced them to repeal it though. And good games. I didn't end that one, why would I...? I had 7 kills ( :lol: ), I was doing fine...I just had to go after that. I got lucky with Kent, I Falcon Punch'ed you twice, [bleep]ed you with Dedede's recovery, landed a few smashes...Were you trying?

Is this considered racism?
his character is black though. What level is he?!??! can i have some of that crack that your smoking pretty please? Im caucasian and let me tell you, WE are the majority,EVERYONE ELSE is the minority,IF blacks weren't A minority they would be the majority but they are not..... Let me explain it to you in small words Whites= majority of population Everyone else= minority of population Get it? If you knew how to read, you would know that he meant the amount of African Americans is increasing. I don't know if that's true or not though.

My friends and I banned C-Stick, I have no problem with it. I'm fine with my good ol' analog stick + A. Especially with Dedede, so many things can go wrong with C-Stick. Falco is pretty good, not a very complicated character to learn. Metaknight is easier though.

Halloween
Some kid at my school dressed up as Bill Clinton and handed out candy and condoms. :lol:
-
Smash Club.
I wanted to be Captain Falcon for Halloween. :( Maybe next year. (I could actually pull off a decent Marth...Just need to learn all that Japanese. :roll: ) But I did run around all day yelling "FALCON PUNCH" and "SHOW ME YA MOVES!" (Along with the motions, of course) I also beat Event 39 (With Captain Falcon). Yelling "FALCON PUNCH!" as I mashed B probably helped. I'll be home all day tomorrow, I will play you guys.

Sick
I got diagnosed with an illness a few weeks ago, it's not life-threatening or anything, but it's such an annoyance. I'm nearly done with the meds, and then a few weeks and I'll be completely fine. Apparently I got it while I was in Taiwan (Three months ago... :? ), I had diarrhea a few times while I was there. (Worst was when I was on a train, and to make it worse, I didn't have a seat - I had to stand between cars. I spent my time counting to 300, a good distraction if you do it right.) I guess when I got home, I had my computer to distract me, I was fine for the most part - Then school starts. Take away the distraction, my stomach starts killing me. Every few days, I have to go to the nurse/bathroom, and take a nice, long dump. Add some intense coughing once in a while, maybe some vomit here and there. I haven't eaten lunch (At school) for about a month now, so everyone thinks I'm anorexic. The symptoms are worst in the morning, I'm constantly late/absent for my first class. But thankfully, I got the diagnosis, the medication, and I'm finally pulling it all together. Also, first term is just about over, I'll get a blank slate just as I recover. And I thought I had pink eye when I got my physics test back. All those red marks...

Metaknight? To be honest, use physics to help you - Mario is huge, he has a lot of inertia, he can't keep turning around. Pick someone agile (*Coughmkcough*) and just constantly hit him... And yea, the other two are very easy once Mario is gone...

what do you do to make a difference?
I'd rather walk rather than take a car/bus. Assuming my destination isn't too far away, that is. The landscape is also beautiful this time of the year, so it's worth it.

Smash Club.
Well, I've been playing a bit on my own - Trying to beat all event matches on Hard. (It's really easy compared to Boss Battles/All Star...) But right now, I'm on Event 39 - An all-star match, must kill 8 Brawl Newcomers on Skyworld. On Final Destination, easy as cake. But Skyworld is a pain in the [wagon]. Even worse, there are items. So I'm using Captain Falcon. I'm on Wolf, the last guy. An assist trophy shows up, I get it...It's a [bleep] Nintendog. I lost because of that.
