The Off-Topic Lounge: V.8.5

This is a really bad idea. I'm playing Cataclysm for free for ten days. I can already tell that I'm going to get hooked on this like a crack addict. I can tell because that's what happened before. This is a terrible idea. Absolutely terrible. But I'm doing it. Yikes.snowman6251

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Sometimes, I do not get why people are "bumping" old threads in the Nintendo Wii forum, as I am actively reporting threads that should be dead months or even years ago. Often the case, the people who are bumping these threads are low-level users who are unaware that it is against the rules to do so. If a thread has been "dead" for at least two weeks in the forum (this is according to the rule of thumb for slow-moving forums like Nintendo Wii), it should not be resurrected. Post a new topic instead.thom_maytees

Once I figured that out, it was a lot less confusing to see someone reply "i lik mariooo" to a Super Mario Galaxy E3 announcement thread from years ago.

Snow is a wonderful thing :D

WTH?

Are you a woman or a child? Because that's the only ones who can appreciate snow

For men that's just another job we need to do. I wanted to play some games, make a turkey (I'm picturing stapling a neck and head or a carcass lol, I'M MAKING A TURKEY!), and go for a walk. Instead I'm going to have to shovel at least a foot of snow over the next 24 hours.

My job will be clearing snow and why? Because I'm a man and that's my job.

For man there is no happiness in snow

so very true. luckily i live in an apartment this year, so i dont have to shovel it. but i still have to drive in it which is a pain since i dont drive a big truck. and people tend to drive like morons when there's snow making my commute to/from work twice as long.

Why is Braun (the makers of electric razers and all that) and normally pronounced like "BRAWN" now being pronounced "BROWN" in their commercials? Why would they do that?

Also, almost done with Final Fantasy VII for the second time. Last time was a few years ago. When I faced Hojo I died a bunch of times before beating him. This time, it took me one try.

And also GO LIONS!!!!! 3 in a row and 2 road wins in a row!!!! I know we're out of it but it's great to see them still playing hard and showing that we have a bright future here after so many years of pure heart break!!

A little work?

I have an 8 car driveway then walkway around the yard then a path for mail and deliveries then when I'm done with all that I need to make a path for the cats

That's not a little work

Also when you do work you have to be loud about so no one forgets you're doing it.

Exercise is good for you :P

I agree with Jason, shovelling snow SUCKS. Some exercise is good, yes. But shovelling feet of snow is just annoying, frustrating, and leads to heart attacks. I would invest in a snowblower if I lived out east. I have one here in Michigan and it's a life saver.

It never snows where i live :(

You guys are lucky.

We need snow.

I walk 5-8 miles a day so it's not so much the exertion it's the level of boredom you get while doing it.

I make up different characters. I really like Sno Shovelei, intrepid french shoveler who came over to test his skills in the feirce Northeastern winters.

He also has a Mexican partner, Senior Scoopos. Shovelei found him as a street urchin when he went down to Mexico one summer and they've been together ever since. While being second in command Scoopos is also well versed in witty banter.

Those two usually entertain me for a few hours while I shovel

OH MY GOD!

Know the guy that walks on snow before you shovel so you have those frozen ice clumps that stick to walks and driveways?

That's the guy who does it from now on!

Shoveling is going to take me 6 hours just so I can get done with everyone's lines lol

Damn Gamestop tricked me into buying a PS2 for $50, a seemingly good deal, but without a memory card. Gonna have to wait a few days for my Ebay one to get here. WANNA PLAY SOTC. :cry:Head_of_games

I'm gonna go write to my diary.

Just placed my order for Dragon Age Origins on Amazon. Got a used copy from a seller that guarentees the game to work or I get a full refund. All for the low price of $18.89 including shipping, plus I had $2.25 left on a gift card that I didn't know about. HELL YES!!

[QUOTE="alexh_99"] why buy a shovel, when you can just use your hands to move the snow?alexh_99

I recommend a plastic spoon.

But using a spoon would take much longer

Now that I own an ipod for the first time in my life, thanks to Christmas, I can finally work out with my own music.

Lifting weights to an orchastrated version of the final battle with Ganon in Ocarina of Time is pppretty badass.

Also, that link is just outstanding. I must have watched Happy Gilmore dozens of times and I never get tired of it.

Hey Haz, did you open your Mario All-Stars yet?

This is why Microsoft is constantly behind competition. You're trying to sell your product by saying "People use phones too much, heres a phone that'll make you use it less". Stupid. Also, those "To The Cloud" commercials are dumb too.Haziqonfire

That's why Windows phone 7 will work

It's not that people use their phones too often it's that they have to use their phones that often.

Microsoft's whole system is that stuff is easier to get to on their phones and that for a lot of people that's great. The screens of the phone all look the same and the stuff on the phone always works, you don't need to do a bunch of crap to get it working.

I grabbed an Evo because it can do more things like Sirius and you know what happened, update for the Evo less then a week in and now Sirius and every other HTTP streaming is disabled. That will never happen on a Windows phone because of the system they have in place that every service has to work or it's not allowed.

This last week I've done exactly what those ads say, I've been on my phone way too long while doing nothing, Microsoft's system stops all that.
