IDK. if they are actually hurting for money I don't hold it against them to ask us to consider a generous donation.

However, I don't think I'll be giving them anything... but for a different reason. Mainly that I'm technically in debt at the moment.

i remember years ago (5 years ago maybe???) i read a bunch of OS-tan comics from 2ch that were translated into english.  a lot of them were pretty terrible but some of them were actually funny.  i remember one of them had a character named BRUCE VIRUS because apparently willis and virus are identical in japanese so it was just bruce willis only he was supposed to be a computer virus.  i'm pretty sure this was one of them too although i have no context for it at all.  i also found this one and this one in my old photobucket.

im so tired

like all the time now

I am just as tired if I get 3 hours of sleep as I am when I get 12. I eat healthy, I exercise moderately, I don't have much caffeine, and all my blood work is normal. I can barely stay awake in class. All I think about is sleeping. Zzz

even when I sleep like 13 hours and I have a headache and feel awful from oversleeping I still feel dreadfully tired
perhaps it is hypothyroidism? do you know your thyroid hormone values/rates? i don't think the alternative depression is propable.

have you gone to doctor about this anyways?

Even though you sleep more doesn't mean that you should feel more rested even with the awful headache that accompanies it. Usually increments of one and a half hours happen to be ideal because of how your brain goes through various cycles when you sleep. Still, the amount of sleep to feel our best varies from person to person, and while one person feels their best at 7 hours, another made need 8 or 9 - with any more just impacting them negatively more than anything else. I suggest that you set an alarm so that you consistently get the same amount of sleep each night, and find the amount of sleep that's right for you. Also, are you depressed? A lot of people that are depressed find that they are awkwardly tired even if they try to do everything else correctly.

i went to nyc for the day. they play that awful alicia eys nyc song "empire state of mind" whenever you arrive now. i actually li_e it because it really symbolizes the collapse and decay of the city

we saw a couple cool things lie the high line http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Line_(New_York_City) and some poc_et par_s. and i sorta hate the high line because it's so deliberately and meticulously hip and trendy it's lie a fucing apple product but it still does a lot of cool things.

good vid the gummi is so cute

Bored. had an urge to make a conversion list for gaming review scores into meaningful comments. dunno why.

10 - Unfathomably Good/Perfect For It’s Time (Must buy for all)
9 - Outstanding/Excellent (Must buy for those dedicated to the medium)
8 - Great/Very Good (Outright Recommend, almost pushed)
7 - Good (Encouraged to try)
6 - OK/Decent (Only for the fans)
5 - Mediocre/Competent (Only for the big fans)
4 - Poor/Nigh Incompetent (Only for crazy fans)
3 - Incompetent/Mess (Rent at own risk, Make even crazy fans disappointed)
2 - Few/No Redeeming Qualities. (Avoid playing for free, Will make fans weep)
1 - Abysmal/Antithesis To Fun (Laugh or be depressed at how bad it is)
0 - Antithesis to fun, a game, and possibly sanity (Shouldn’t exist, maybe doesn’t)
Note: The term “Fans” can refer to anyone that likes/loves a franchise or genre.

oh shit!!!!! *forehead slap* oh hell!!!! well yeah i let the gang know about that. that's kind of goofy though, is the place really THAT BIG (you can live your whole life 40 years in queens NEVER EVER SEEN MANHATTAN save couple of times) or is it just kind of uninterest into knowing your place correctly? HISTORY, not a whole lot people like history. i sure don't know my hometown that well either like HISTORICALLY and culturally and this place is relatively small.

why did you do this btw! game journalism is kind of notirous for it's ridicilous aspiration to quantify games into values and a dumb criterion. you really can't determine games subjective value into objective one and metacritic is the worst in this regard. if you see anybody arguing otherwise then assume that it's juris or edc (both argue for the sake of arguing).

it's not really exaggerated to say that this tradition of reviewing games through scores is one of the biggest barricades that prevent it to ever become anything meaningful or even progress beyond MMM PERFECT GREAT 3D GRAPHICS 94 / 100. newest Disgaea somehow striking into the japfagger reviewer's soul (yesss pantyshots) thus it gets higher scores at Edge than what Deus Ex ever did...

even if you disagree with the expression side of this problem i'm sure you agree that right now commercial games are not selling very well, cost too much to make and most importantly are really plastic and boring! you know GEARS OF WAR. every fps i've seen for the past two years looks like either gears of war or mass effect.

100% this, check out somethingawful's review of deadly premonition and you'll see why this is true.  the factors every review looks at were all awful--graphics, gameplay, sound--but guess what????  it's an amazing game.  some shit you just gotta go with your gut and not give it a score out of 10.

Yeah I think it was only around the time of deadly premonition that I started thinking that stuff which gets really bad reviews and no attention is given to might be worth something still. Not that I went on reviews or anything before but I assumed if everyone was saying it stank it probably stank but I think I want to actively seek out some stuff that didn't do well anywhere and see what it's like cos I think there must be some stuff I am missing that I would like. I keep wanting to do a podcast and one on stuff that people think stinks might be good. Maybe it really does stink and is boring but maybe it's just weird is all. I don't know if there is enough stuff that would be worth doing a show on though.

i dunno but manhattan is probably a pretty daunting place even to the people who live nearby. they _new where stuff lie central par and times square was but just barely. they had apparently been to a lot of the places we stopped but didn't have a clear map in their head.

i now philly pretty having lived in the outsirts for the past two years. it's a lot different tho and the center city is set up really well i thin with everything sorta fanning off in the four directions and the datum of south street farther down. aside from central par manhattan seems more homogeneous with street after street of concrete and sy scrapers

i did see your chinagame topic. post coming later
