It's doable (so do it). To start you need to attain a rough intuitive mapping of the grammar. Then get some reading material, like short stories, and just read.

I knew it. Xeptic is a proxy account for Joran van der Sloot. Just kidding. Have fun, and stop panicking. South America is beautiful, and you'll have a blast. :)

My computer isn't working, so I can't play Starcraft.

Everyone from this point on must ignore HDXMike.

Duh, that show was amazing.

Incidentally, I found a torrent pack of 50 dexter's lab episodes last week, good A/V quality. I was really excited but it turns out that for some reason everything you watched on TV in the 90's as a kid looked much more funny than it actually was. I mean, one of the episodes for example is just Dexter having to go to gym class because the coach doesnt accept his excuse, followed by 7 minutes of him just running away from dodgeball balls every day and on the last day he's suddenly in a huge robot (that you didnt even see him build or even get from his lab) shooting explosive balls at the kids who were throwing balls at him in dodgeball.

yeah, that was really hilarious. the intro music is awesome though.

I've noticed that this is true for all things--TV shows, video games, movies, books, etc. A few weeks ago I dusted off my old GameCube (too soon to call it "old"?) and I wanted to play some games out of my massive stack of 50+ of them. I remember many of them having cutting-edge graphics and also recall them being amazing in general--unfortunately this wasn't the case. I popped in some of my old favorite games and I found many of them to be severely lacking in story and gameplay, not to mention graphics, which sort of killed the part of me that previously loved those games.

Of course I can't expect those games to be considered good by today's standards, but it was just disappointing seeing those games under a new light. I guess it's better to remember things as they were when you loved them, as opposed to looking back years later with a new attitude.

Some games that I still had fun playing were Resident Evil 4, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, and of course, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Back to the subject of television, I still love SpongeBob and am not afraid to admit it.

I hate how true that is for shows and other things.
Luckily, Super Mario World still ceases to amaze me.

i was just about to say... super mario world and other 2d classics are great because of the world they created with such minimalist graphics (not of their time of course, but ours). In the middle, of then and now, there were low poly 3d games that relied heavily on the graphics to be a good game in the new age of 3d. Of course that still exists today but back then a lot of games were even worse.

I mean, if you go back to previous 3d games, it was all about collecting items. As much as I love Spyro, that kind of gameplay is so boring to me now and it's only good for nostalgic purpose. To go back to the 2d side of things, you can concentrate on getting good designs in the game without having a technological barrier. ooooh aaaah

If you look at some game design related classes in college etc, a lot of the stuff they are doing is trying to have the latest game engines and software available to students. Today, kids have Zbrush and 3dsmax and maya all one simple torrent away, and when they start diving into hi-poly normal mapped characters, they tend to skip the entire design phase of the 2d generation.

When the low poly games came out back in the day of the psx and dreamcast, etc, some of them DID still have some good design left in them but many got carried away with making everything in 3d they forgot what a good game was, or what good characters and story were.

Same things happening today and s;dfkj i'm going to stop repeating myself now goodnight

not every kid in the 90s used to watch dexter ya fuckin idiot

Oh it is Dexter's lab, I am now familiar with some of them. I only got to watch that when I went to my grandparents which was once a month for a day cos they have foxtel/cable/pay tv.

How odd, I probably got the same torrent last week... And that was the first one I watched, the dodgeball one.

Same here though... They aren't as good as I imagined.

I thought dexter's lab was a kid's show...am I that much older than the rest of you?

Oh yeah, I guess so...

Heyy guys,
Have not had internet connection for a few days which is a real pain, currently at uni tho :) Just goes to show how much some people rely on the internet and CAN'T go WITHOUT IT.

Dexter's lab is good.
