540 calories isn't really that bad, it is actually less than the Crispy Twister with sauce. I'll probably try one at some point out of curiosity, even though I haven't gone to either of the KFC's in my city for about a year and a half because they are both so slow it actually borders on being painful. I've missed my grilled sauce-less twister wraps.

I am seriously considering this email I got from mr wong:

08.04.2010/HI

My name is Mr.Peter Tung Shun Wong.There is a sum of $44.5Milion

in my bank Hang Seng Bank, Hong Kong. There were no beneficiaries

stated concerning these funds which means no one would ever

come to claim it. That is why I ask that we work together.

I intend to give 50% of the total funds as compensation for your assistance.

And I shall send you the details and necessary

procedures with which to make the transfer if you are intrested.

Please respond quickly at : {hsb39peterwong@yahoo.com.hk}

Sincerely yours,

Mr Peter T.S.Wong.

I get one everyday, sometimes multiple. Luckily they are all on an email address that is built solely for spam.

That letter should be reenacted into a real life situation, oh wait >>>

it's my b-day!! Drinking beer Reading gore vidal..........................what liufes all about.. ! . 

hey I was thinking about watching X-Files again because I'm kind of interested how quality it really was or if Chris Carter is really just the exact kind of dude like J.J. Abrams I remember being like does Chris Carter really have the plot written out or is he just writing the story in a way to generate as much MYSTERY as possible (did he ever explain what it was all about btw) I mean even if he was fucking with the audience the whole time I still remember he made interesting stories in the individual episodes and tried to be an ENTERTAINER unlike Lost it just felt like a clusterfuck of mysterious things happening like there is something really good happening just around the corner. Also somebody said the X-Files was humorless but I thought it had a lot of humor in it just maybe played straight like it was meant to be serious. But I dunno I haven't watched much of Lost it felt too much like some weird kind of plot crack to me like you could hate the show and still get drawn into it because the story is so intriguing it's like crack (lol somebody in a review called it 'suspense porn') Maybe I'm not reading it right is it supposed to be goofy like David Lynch etc. with SMOKE MONSTER and some other stuff I'd know about if I watched the show more. But yeah I can't go by 'X-files was scary' because I was 9 or something when the show was in its heyday (lol heyday is such a random word who says that) but Lost/Fringe never had me scared I didn't even think it was /supposed/ to be scary

but yeah that wasn't my point I meant to ask if, well I was saying in some other topic how half of all TV shows/movies ever instead of using other devices to make you care about the characters like a love story etc., a lot are like PLEASE BELIEVE ME like Enemy of the State is the best example I can think of as far as movies go, and X-Files for TV b/c Mulder is this likeable average guy who happens to believe in a bunch of conspiracy theories etc., and the Lone Gunmen were even more like ILLUMINATI shit right? and you end up wanting to believe him and the story makes less and less concessions that it could turn out he's just crazy/all a dream (pretty much no chance because it would be the cheapest way to wrap up the show if they did) so I was just wondering if people mostly just considered the show a good mystery or if there were a bunch of people who thought Chris Carter was messenger from the future and the only man who had the guts to tell the truth about vast global conspiracy. And if this is so was it like real people or just crazies from the internet. And was it at the same level as now or was even the internet a little more sane back then. And lastly even if there weren't crazy fans like that do you think those shows romanticized the idea of being a conspiracy theorist so now we have crazy christian militia people Tea Party etc.

pokemon black and white, coming at the end of the year

"Damn them, they stole the titles I was going to use for my pokemon fangame!"

You know there's got to be at least somebody out there thinking exactly that.

it looks like a race game. black and white checkered flags. race a pokemon to the finish line. it looks like a race game.

I will wait for the remakes (pokemon flash white and pokemon pitch black)

i guess i have a semipermanent scar on the side of my eye now...

I'm begging to gather parts to Make my computer since my other computer was a piece of junk and the power supply was fucked up. I dropped 1000$ on Parts  right now I'm missing a power supply, CD drive and OS (but I'm leaning for windows 7).

This is what I got so far.

BTW Here is what my Invoice looks like.


So what Do you think about my build so far also this ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817159067 ) is the Power supply I plan on getting with my next pay check.

looks good but you need to make it crazier. like with the graphics, make some perspective stratus clouds in the sky and fossils in the ground. stuff like that. needs to be overwhelming

edit: there are bones in the ground! more significant ones maybe

haha I think I typed a 'q' into google and lady gaga shows up in the search guesses

I was hoping for some one to comment on the computer I'm building..... since I don't think it's worth a new topic on the Technology forum.

edit: there are bones in the ground! more significant ones maybe

clouds have been added. more bones, will add. also working on making the guys more like cowboys or bandits and less like ninjas

the animations all over the place make it hard to see the trajectory, maybe that is what you want though. also add more platforms to make the it more challenging, unless you are already planning on having more stages and this would be the first.

Double the resolution of that game I would.

Double the resolution of that game I would.

yeah well your a big gay

the animations are on purpose, yes, but i have toned them down a bit. And yeah, I just need to make sure the AI can handle platforms and shit. At them moment they're a bit dodgy with anything more complicated than a hill in the middle.

on a completely unrelated note: THIS GUY makes awesome music, so I MADE HIM SOME
