Hm, kind of coincidental as I'm reading Wizard's First Rule, and am at the part about the loaf of bread. I used to hate crust (Including the end bits), but now I don't mind it. I prefer the middle, but the ends aren't that bad.

Snake is 15 matches on Shadow Moses Island. There are 3 ways to unlock Sonic, through SSE, 10 total hours of Brawls (Not just 10 hours of Brawls, there's a difference) and I suppose that running one. Anyway, you can find all this information on the Dojo. So once again...This thread is useless. :| (Though I never knew all these people played Brawl? Why not join the Brawl club?)

Don't tell me Taki's suit is still extremely tight. I wish I had a 360/PS3...I loved SC2, I'm sure I'd like SC4 as well. My friend got it/is getting it, I'll be going to his house a lot. Astaroth and Cervantes FTW?

You guys do realize Civ4 is NOT a RTS? I suppose RTW isn't really either, but at least the combat is. And yeah, the simple, single unit combat (Though you can turn on stack attack) of Civ4 is the only thing I don't like about it. And I'm a big combat fan...So that was a let-down. Oh well. Both are great games, I plan on getting Total War: Eras sometime soon. You can't really compare them...

Oh right, that reminds me...Dunkin' Donuts has started up here. And they have *special* donuts that you can only get in Taiwan. :P For the record though, when I'm in Massachusetts, I basically eat what you guys eat. I'm not one of those kids that brings his own lunch (Of rice and Chinese food) every day, I buy lunch at school, when I eat breakfast it's western stuff...I guess dinner is usually Chinese, but I have other stuff once in a while.

Aw, meol (I think) beat me to naming Ralph Nader. Oh well. I guess I can still say Ron Paul. : I can't vote, but I'd guess I'd vote for Obama. I agree with him on more issues, mainly war. And I like his personality better. In my opinion, he's more likable. McCain is your typical old white guy. Yeah, I have great reasons.

I personally don't think it's that hard to play piano blindfolded/with eyes closed. Once you're able to memorize it, which shouldn't be hard at all (Unless it's like 20 pages), it's only a matter of knowing where to start. To be honest, once I play a piece enough, I can play it without thinking. It just...Happens. But yes, if you play piano really well, play some really nice pieces/songs blindfolded, it can be quite incredible. I suppose I can stay silent and unmoving a really long time. Today, I sat on the ground of a train for 2 hours like that. And I wasn't sleeping. I'm sure I can stay silent even longer, I'm naturally quiet. I guess I can also move quietly. Basically, I can go unnoticed really easily.

Well, now it's official I guess. Apple is evil. This sounds ridiculous. But then, most things the government does do. I guess I'll just wait and find out what it's like...

HAI GUYS! Guess what! I kissed a girl. And I liked it. :thumbsup: (Actually, no I didn't, but who cares...It's a decent song by the way, the lyrics are just a bit...Abnormal.) Anyway, the world is changing. Don't be a Luddite. Unless you want to be really traditional, which I'm fine with, change with the world, adapt, get used to it. Deal with it. I'm not really a fan of rap nor punk nor whatever you say is Satanic, but at least I don't complain about it. It was bound to happen...Though I have to admit, I'm starting to dislike a lot of parents, for being way too lenient. By the way, Mozart is by far the best role model. I mean, no swears or bad words! Unless the song/piece has notes in the order of F-A-*, little kids should be fine!

They're both good, other than Blu-ray on the PS3, they're basically the same hardware-wise. (Or at least very similar) So it comes down to the games. I personally think the 360 currently has better games, but with all the Sony showed at E3, that could change soon. So just take a look at the libraries for both, while keeping in mind that the PS3 can play Blu-ray, which will be a huge plus in a few years. Or you can think about what your friends have. That's why I got a Wii, I could've gotten a 360 if I wanted to, but since most of my friends have Wiis, I got one. Why? To practice games we'd be playing together, so I wouldn't have to teach them controls when they come to my house, so we can play together online. I wouldn't let that completely control your decision though.

If the "Scary Movies" count, then those are the best ones. The rest suck. My friends, being immature, perverted idiots, love Epic Movie. We did this thing in school where we had to list our favorites...For movie, that's what they put. I guess it's because they've never seen any other movie. :wall: (I should probably mention that they think Mencia is the greatest guy ever.) But yes. I hate them (The movies, I guess possibly my friends). I don't even know why I bothered watching it at my friend's party, my time would've been better spent playing Melee (This was pre-Brawl) by myself. #-o People have to realize that if you try to be funny (As the directors/scriptwriters/whatever are), you will fail. Epically.

Didn't really watch that many movies this past year (In cinemas, at least), so I'll just do all-time. 1. Lord of the Rings: Return of the King 2. Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers 2. Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring (It's a tie with TTT, can't decide which one is better) 4. National Treasure (The first one, second one sucked) 5. Monty Python and the Holy Grail Now, counting all the LotRs as one (Just think, once The Hobbit movies come out, all 5 will be Tolkien-based)... 1. LotR 2. National Treasure 3. Monty Python and the Holy Grail 4. 300 5. Eh...Ocean's Eleven, I guess. Or the Dark Knight.

All I have to say is...wtf. I'm sure you guys have seen Brawl Taunts? If not, I'll post them later. Funny stuff, but I liked these better.

Bloons itself kinda sucks, but I love Bloons Tower Defence. I could spend hours playing that....and have! :D My school blocked Addictinggames but not Ninjakiwi. Mega-fail. #-o My friend would bring his laptop to school sometimes and play games on it all day. This was near the end of the year, when we had a bunch of projects...So he acted as if he was working. That same friend and I left a huge stockpile of ROMs and stuff at our old school, on the server. I don't think anyone has found out yet, wonder what the reaction will be when they do. It's not really getting caught, but why not share an explosion story. So in geology, we were doing an experiment where we heating limonite (I think that's what it was called). Apparently, if it's not in powdered form, it'll explode when heated. When my lab partner was pouring the limonite into the test-tube thingy, I saw a big chunk go in. I ignored it...Later, when we heated it...Bang. The test-tube exploded. Our teacher praised us for it though. :

I remember when we had topics like 'If you had to live with 5 Tipiters on an island, Who in OT would you sleep with, Who is going to be the most successful etc'. I quite liked those topics, in a way it brought the community together and it was a break from all the political, religious and help threads that OT normally had. It's good to have a break from these things with a positive topic. I personally love superlatives, when we did them at school (For our yearbook) I had a major spaz. Kind of. I don't mind not being mentioned, and this isn't some sort of reverse psychology. (Maybe that was, I don't know. Ooooh paradox) I like being in the corner, in the shadows, not being seen or noticed, but observing everyone else. If someone mentions me...My cover's blown. (Really though, I usually don't like being the center of attention) I forgot Zonorhc and Lenticular, both are hilarious.

Honestly, I think they should serve him nutraloaf for the rest of his life. (Or at least for a while) Since he's fat...Why not make him eat more? And "torture" him in the meantime? Makes perfect sense to me. Torture, either mentally (Isolation) or physically, is worse than death in my opinion. Even worse is torturing, then killing.

You will need good English skills to apply for a good college, and possibly apply for a good job. Not to mention, in America, English-related stuff makes up 2/3 of the SAT. (I find that ridiculous, but that's because I suck at English.) I heard that if you know English, Chinese (Mandarin) and Arabic, you're basically able to communicate with everyone to some extent. I'm assuming it's an exaggeration, but still...English is widely regarded as the global language (I say math is :P ), and believe it or not, it'll be important in life.

It was pretty good. Not as good as I expected, probably won't be something I'll watch over and over again. (And it's not because of the length, I watch the Lord of the Rings all the time) [hide=Hide tags for the sake I might spoil something]I understood it fine. A bit confusing at first, but I caught on. I think it would have been better if I didn't buy that bottle of coke and really had to pee near the end, but whatever. Dent's screwed up face was kind of...Disgusting at first, but whatever. That was the point, I suppose. The ending was great, it just kept going an going...RIP Heath Ledger, he did a great job. Why so serious...?[/hide]

There is literally a 7-11 every block here. Or at least there were. A bunch changed to Hi Life or something. Riku, rice is just the main thing. You know how when you go to a Chinese/Asian restaurant, they give you rice, and then a bunch of dishes? We have dishes too. Not just rice.

I like nearly all the people that post here frequently with good grammar. Though if I had to choose... All the mods and admins. Why else would they have authority? Lenin. Some similarities (Not really), and of course...Who wouldn't want to be on Lenin's good side? Rebdragon. Don't want to piss Reb off. :? But really, he's a good debater. Nadril. Great when it comes to technical stuff. Especially MMORPGs, which I love. Dragoonson. He can be funny. And he's Asian. Rushrock. Yay TSO? Runescapeloser. Gotta love my fellow Massachusetts-ian and Red Sox fan. Ginger. Actually cares about what he says. That's it for current OT I guess, there are some guys I remember from my B&S (Or whatever it's called nowadays...Used to be S&D) days, and the people I brawl with. And then there are those great ones that don't post anymore. Or at least not as much.

I'm seeing it today, IMAX. (Might have Chinese subtitles #-o ) Anyway, I really don't remember much of Batman Begins. Anything important I need to know?

You know, there's probably work arounds for those problems... Probably, I'll just wait until I get back though. And I didn't bring my mouse, I'd probably get pwned in any FPS. Perfect World and Aion are going to be free, right? (I know PW is...) The Taiwanese version is out (For PW), I saw an ad for it yesterday, on the street. Yes...They have video game ads on the street here. I see WoW ones every block. I might try it, might as well practice my Chinese. I'm going to wait on WAR, has a release date been announced? (I have a feeling one was posted, I don't remember though) I'll probably wait until Christmastime to decide.

Yeah, when I do I'm just like "How the [bleep] did I just do that?" :lol: Even better though, is gimping with Waddle Dees. Especially against Pit. *Trying to fly back to stage* *Gets hit in face with Waddle Dee* *Dies* : Edit: Yayyyyyyyy our old tourney host is back!

That's probably the one thing I like about Vista, it comes with chess. : (I suck though, I was pretty good a few years ago...) I also forgot about Fire Emblem, I never got the pleasure of playing the handhelds/Japanese ones, but I have the Gamecube and Wii ones.

Aw, why change the title? I guess breakfast is pretty similar to western breakfasts. They have cereal here, bread, the usual. Except Chinese bakeries have some great stuff that you probably can't find in America/Europe. And I'm sure some people have rice cakes or whatever every day. Lunch is actually pretty similar to dinner, now that I think about it. Just a bit less. Also, the McDonald's here have fried chicken and this red bean thing that I like. (No rice though) I'm pretty sure they don't have those in America, not sure about Europe though. Also, guava and starfruit...They're hard to come by in Massachusetts at least, but they're everywhere here. For the record, red beans are like...The reputation of Taiwan. Best red beans evar. Just think of going to a Chinese restaurant every day for lunch and dinner. That's basically it, I guess. (Taiwan is kind of trying to westernize though, especially Taipei. It's not as traditional as other places) And I don't see anything wrong with this thread. Sure, it'll eventually come down to "Rice is everything", but by then it'll probably be dead.
