Congrats.

I mean, i'll live on campus, but i just don't want to move out of indiana yet, so i'm going to check both IUPUI and Ball State to see which one i like more :\, since they're both relatively AVERAGE KID schools, UConn was above average but like ... ugh i just can't :'(

Why no Purdue and Indiana if location means so much to you?

At 4/18/07 07:50 AM, schneelocke wrote: Oh, yes. :) I regularly check to see whether there's anyone ahead of me I can pass soon (users with gains of 0 or 10 XP)

Mmmmm yes.

Good point. I also do that - I always repeat myself, just to make sure that everyone knows what I want to say. ;)

Yayyyyeth!

Who knows. It's easier to do your thing on NG without feeling compelled to do lots of other things and waste more and more time, at least, which I guess makes it less likely that people get so totally fed up they just stop depositing altogether, but... well, I think it's still happening. Maybe not with people who're level 25 or 27 or 29 now and who know they'll never be able to get those levels back if they stop depositing for a significant amount of time, but in the lower levels (where I am, for example), it sure doesn't seem all *that* uncommon. Or at least it seems so to me, given that I keep on moving up through the XP ranks... ;)

True enough. But it's not just that people at higher levels are less likely to give up. It's also just that there are much less of them, the density is lower. Every now and then someone in the top 10 or 20 exp stops depositing and drops. We just don't notice because there's not as much rankchanging going on as there is down around #200, when someone can jump +5 in a week.

You might recognise that, or you might not. I've been running KoLmafia for that reason for the last month or two, but now, even the prospect of coming back some day doesn't motivate me anymore - not even enough to run a bot.

Well, I recognise it at least, and I know I'm not alone. ALWAYS DEPOSITS TEH EXP.

Maybe. But it's still a trade-off - if you don't expect it to happen, it might still not be worth the cumulative amount of time you're investing.

The time is not that much IMO, even cumulatively speaking. If you just have one account on NG that you care (or cared) about to the point of needing exp for it every day, you can spend more time brushing your teeth every single day than depositing on NG. To me, that's a no-brainer.

But not to everyone, I know.

I think it's more about forgetfulness than motivation.

Because it's a cute li'l black wolfnose. ^.^

Heh.

I rather like ^_^ and ^.^, myself. It's hard to say why, but they just seem more natural to me...

They're both fine, but the former is exactly the one I meant seeing too much of. It's the "average anime ASCII smiley," as opposed to the . one, which is far rarer.

Though why that doesn't work with me and my girlfriend never ceasing to find each other cute despite having lived together for nearly 6 straight years... I will never know!
Surely you're not complaining?

I was trying to emote surprise/amazement, not disappointment!

As in, it's wonderful but I don't know how it continues to be true. Will wonders never cease, that sort of thing. #;-}>

Oh, sure it's distasteful... but not shocking, at least not if you know the individual pictures. The whole thing is not bigger (in terms of shockiness) than the sum of its parts. (As for myself, I used to poke around on rotten.com quite a lot in the past, which probably made me at least somewhat shock-resistant. I still find the images icky and disgusting, of course, but not emotionally disturbing.)

Well, when I first saw it, I didn't know the individual pictures yet. But that was years and years ago, so I guess some of the pics that make it up have gotten around on their own by now.

Anyway... Whee, rotten. I've been there, yep.

It's not really offensive or disturbing to me on a conscious level, it's more the visceral gut reaction you can't help if you have it... you just have it.

YEAH. They rock.

The Why of Fry is great and the Anthology of Interest (I and II) are awesome. They have to be some of my favourites as well. Would be cool to see one more of them, as long as they don't take it too far like they've done with Treehouse of Horror.

Yeah, the Anthologies, that's the ones I meant. Gotta love 'em.

At least they didn't do one per year on the same day like with Treehouse, I s'pose. Can't become too predictable.

And they did do at least a couple Crazy Santa Killer Bot eps, so... they already had the predictability angle when it came to Christmas. #;-}>

Yeah, and all the weird stuff happening in it. I love the twist on that episode, same for what they did with Obsoletely Fabulous.

I don't remember that one by title name, unlike Sting. What be up in that one?

Yep. Futurama is far more creative and far more funnier than The Simpsons. The characters, well, I'm not too sure which of the two shows have better characters, because The Simpsons has Homer, Bart and Abe, while Futurama has Fry, Bender and Zoidberg. :P

Apples and oranges (and strawberries and grapes and... you get the picture).

Just like with teh tasty fruits, teh awesome characters on each show need not compete. There's a time and place for them all, and we can all have our faves from both shows. Hooray!

And don't forget Apu. Apu > Abe. How could you mention Abe when there's... APU!?!? #;-}>

Why do you say both of the anthologies so far? There's only two, and there's no need for "so far" either.

Well, Futurama doesn't have the constraints of being a loosely based parody of Matt Groening's family. He's a sci-fi nut and has been allowed to build on the success of the Simpsons with quite a large budget. I think he's done a great job, to be honest

He DID a great job. Long over, man. Long since over. ;_;

In one of the great inequities of TV... one show, which is good, gets 10+ years. The other one, which is GREAT, gets just 4 years.

You guys sure are doing the whole listening/listened to stuff a lot. Soooo cliched.

That said, I will say that I got a mp3 player last month, and my three most listened-to songs on it, out of 1600 songs... are my three fave 80s songs of all time (though I Ran by Flock of Seagulls is up there, too).

TALK TALK - It's My Life
THE PSYCHEDELIC FURS - Love My Way
TALK TALK - Life's What You Make It

IN THAT ORDER. Ultimate rule-age. I have a playlist with 9 songs (12 tracks, though, because those three are at the start and the end of the playlist).

I love the playlist so much, I made two CDs of it. One for my car and one for my apartment.

Note: I have always been a fan of It's My Life, long before VCS came out, but I must admit that the original Vice City is how I got massively exposed to the other two songs, from Flash FM and Wave 103. God bless those fake radio stations, long may they wave. :::SALUTES:::

Nice segue, ehhhhh????

I have all 30 empire sites. Took me a few good hours of milling around and shit to realise that I couldn't get that one damned biker empire site in Vice Point on the east side near those hotels until I freakin' ADVANCED THE PLOT a bit more into the Mendez Bros. missions.

But wotevah.

I've got like 7 each of the first three business types but only 3 each of the drugs/robbery/smuggling ones. I'm planning on evening it all out so there's 5 of each type * 6 = 30, nice even spread.

I'm at like 65% game completion, and I'm holding off on advancing the plot. If I hurried up and did all the missions left (the movie studio, Mendez bros, and then the few more people who can give you missions after that, which I only just barely spoiled myself on by glancing at a FAQ just once about it), I bet it would boost up to 85%+.

Not 99% like my Vice City save, but still not so bad for 40 hours of game time and tons of fun in the past month!

Why do you say both of the anthologies so far? There's only two, and there's no need for "so far" either.

We have it on good authority that Comedy Central has bought the rights to the Futurama Franchise and season 5 is in production. We expect to see episodes on our screens in 2008.

Well, Futurama doesn't have the constraints of being a loosely based parody of Matt Groening's family. He's a sci-fi nut and has been allowed to build on the success of the Simpsons with quite a large budget. I think he's done a great job, to be honest

See above, it will be back, with original voice actors, writers etc.

In one of the great inequities of TV... one show, which is good, gets 10+ years. The other one, which is GREAT, gets just 4 years.

But now has a contract for another 4! And possibly a straight to DVD movie as well!

That's about 6 hours per year, then - so after four years, you've spent an entire day doing nothing but deposit on NG. And that's a full 24 hours, too, from midnight to midnight, without any sleep, no getting out, no eating, no toilet breaks, no doing anything else...

And of course, "it just takes X, that's not much" is not necessarily a real argument, anyway. Yeah, one minute a day might not be much, but is NG the only site you're only staying semi-active on in case you come back some day? Cruft does accumulate, and every ocean is made from individual drops (well, not literally, but you know what I mean).

I often notice the same thing with money, myself; people often say things like "oh, this and that is really very cheap, surely you can afford that", but while they are technically right, the problem is that if I wanted to buy *all* the things that are very cheap and that I surely could afford, I'd still end up paying more money than I actually have. And while no single purchase would be responsible for putting me over my limit, I'd still have to cut down on individual purchases to consolidate my finances.

Time is similar. I only have 24 hours a day, many of which I already have to use for other, more important things, and I can't just do everything I want - and I couldn't even if everything, individually, just took a minute per day to do.

Of course, I myself am still on NG because it still has value to me, but I can also understand people who feel it doesn't anymore, because I've felt (and feel) the same way about a number of other sites and because not wasting time on those every day for years (even if it's just a miniscule amount each day) has made me feel better, too.

They're both fine, but the former is exactly the one I meant seeing too much of. It's the "average anime ASCII smiley," as opposed to the . one, which is far rarer.

*noddles* That's true. I tend to use ^.^ rather than ^_^ myself since I think the former's cuter, but I still like both of them.

Goodness, I remember a time in the early nineties when I used smileys like ":-)" and thought that ":)" (without the dash) looked weird. Things sure have changed...

It's not really offensive or disturbing to me on a conscious level, it's more the visceral gut reaction you can't help if you have it... you just have it.

That's what I meant - you kinda lose that gut reaction after a while. It's still there, of course, but you just become indifferent, to an extent.

Yeah, I would've started to hate the Anthology of Interests if it went one per year. Would've ended up traumatising me just like when I saw the last two Treehouse of Horrors. :( I'll blabber on about TOH now.

I think I - V of the Treehouse of Horror are awesome. VI - IX are great (I know VI has Homer3, but the first story of that episode wasn't so great), but the older ones beat them. X and after, it started to get bad and gradually gets worse with some exceptions of some good stories (e.g. Send in the Clones).

I don't remember that one by title name, unlike Sting. What be up in that one?

It was when Bender was lost on an island.

That will all I'll say about the episode. :P
And don't forget Apu. Apu > Abe. How could you mention Abe when there's... APU!?!? #;-}>

Well, when I bought it, I had to put a stereo in - Sony MiniDisc player and a couple of 6" x 9" speakers in the rear parcel shelf. It's been in for a few repairs on the engine - New Thermostat, new exhaust (Drove through a flood too fast and wrecked the catalytic converter) On a good day and on a home track, I can push three figures out of it.

Sounds pretty sweet, and if it's hooked up with a good sounds system it's all good. I'm guessing you're a bit of a boy racer then, you're just giving me a craving for a car now. Definitely gotta do it this summer

I'm a member of both the NG Police and the Elite Guard Barracks. We wanted to let people know about both groups. With Pico Day around the corner, there will be a lot of leveling up and both groups certainly could use the new members. I hate to advertise, but I promised that I would. If you know anyone that is leveling up or if you would like to join for yourself, check out either the NG Police or the Elite Guard Barracks, depending on your current b/p rank.

Right 400 hmm I was close to 1600 but now thats too far away. More saves right its happening more newer users are having a higher S2B than B2S ratio. ya know.

Well maybe you like the 80s because of the nostiglic old skool kind of mentality people get because the new stuff sucks.

and not here to stay. Hows VCS been did you max out your empire stats and shit
Nice segue, ehhhhh????

Truely surpislingly.

I have all 30 empire sites. Took me a few good hours of milling around and shit to realise that I couldn't get that one damned biker empire site in Vice Point on the east side near those hotels until I freakin' ADVANCED THE PLOT a bit more into the Mendez Bros. missions.

I got them all as so as I could. I cant remeber how well I did and other info.

But wotevah.

at least you got it now to get all the jobs/missions passed.

I've got like 7 each of the first three business types but only 3 each of the drugs/robbery/smuggling ones. I'm planning on evening it all out so there's 5 of each type * 6 = 30, nice even spread.

Got to have a variety. I like the smuggling irc becuase of the Sabre Tubro.

I'm at like 65% game completion, and I'm holding off on advancing the plot. If I hurried up and did all the missions left (the movie studio, Mendez bros, and then the few more people who can give you missions after that, which I only just barely spoiled myself on by glancing at a FAQ just once about it), I bet it would boost up to 85%+.

I got to play VCS for PSP all this talk is making me exicted in a nonperverted way. I know I got lots of unique jumps, rampages, and red ballons to find but I am concerned with 100%.

Not 99% like my Vice City save, but still not so bad for 40 hours of game time and tons of fun in the past month!

100% for me and its the only gta game I got 100%. I would like it for SA but I have 98.5% of gang terratree taken damn vatos.

Until Daddy takes the T-Bird away.
BEACH BOYS FTW.

You got it.

Sup dude I had a gooden wank. Over a packet of sweetner.
A golden wank is what I thought you said at first. Holy shite.

Yeah my spelling is actrious I may have wanted it to say golden, but not likely.

I thought 2004 was bigger than that, because I remember 2003 already starting to be pretty cool. How you describe 2004 Clock Day is more like 2003 Clock Day. 2004 wasn't 1000 entries or anything, but it was a good 100-200 entry day, I think.

Ah maybe I dont remeber 04. I came back in 03 in august and thats what I am thinking 04 was well perhaps.

I won whozah. and your alt's 2nd alt could be geephoxez
Whoa...

Nellie maye

Why not gfawks instead? Just a BIT simpler (and more used, not to mention)...

yes you just asked the question to yourself.

999999 was no mistake, I wanted both ids!
I should haved recalled that iirc.
Yeah. Like... come on.

Gah cut me some slack dude

could have deposited for it other or spam it up.
Funk dat shit.

inactive is the prime choice

the more alts you got the more time you waste. Thats why I trashed 3 of my alts.
Unless you don't use 'em. See 999999 and 1000000 for examples.

Correct but most alts are for depositing, co-authoring yourself, or trying to be funny.

I know I am not a very good Pm responder I have some month or older PMs to address.
