Lono and I settle an old score with Dave and permanently change his name. What follows is a stream-of-conciousness show that is either profound or embarassing. We can't quite decide which. Anyhow, here's how it went down.

Great guys. Very early too. I like Sierra but all I can say is this, They made TimeShift.

I wont even get started on the Mac Vs. PC topic because Im to busy making a movie in iMovie, listen to "The Hand That Feeds" in iTunes, editing a photo in Pixelmator, and writing this in Firefox. How are your blue screens going?

Yeah I doubt the "Take Us Out" will be good for long...

I want a monkey...

Well lets think about this for a moment. Monkeys dont come cheap and think of all the permits! :roll: I could continue.

Really iBoy I've never had a blue screen and I've never had any microsoft product fail on me ... maybe if you knew how to take care of something you wouldn't have to stay on that simple os. (I've also had my xbox 360 for 2 years and its never got the red rings MWHAHAHA)

I have nothing against mac or mac users but you guys have such high ego's and sometimes have to be brought down a bit. ( I know not all mac users)

Dave your "Take Us Out" this time was awesome.

The show was really good as always.

Ah, I use vista (Not by Choice It came with my laptop). It hasn't crashed once, but I will allow you to get away with jokes.

I think I might buy a sarcastic gamer shirt with the money I have left over, because I didn't buy a mac.

When I was choosing between my clan leader and gamerchick for the ringer, I literally thought about which was better and they are about the same. So then I thought about how most people underestimate girl gamers and so yeah... I figured that would aid in a potential sucess and so this is the end result. So I am thoroughly satisfied!

I am going to graduate high school!?!?! sweet...jk.

I am listening now. Very strange this - I was listening, about 6 minutes in, while loading the Bourne Conspiracy website. The Bourne game music came on while I was listening to the podcast. It worked incredibly well! Consider the Bourne game website music as background music for the podcast. It was very entertaining! It made Lono sound like he was talking about very high-tech stuff...

EDIT: Don't worry Dave, balaamsafe is addicted to free stuf as well. We were at p.com live and he went back to get more goody bags because they were free. He also went around looking for free stuff. You are not alone...

Not to mention your connection sucked. No matter how many bullets we riddled your body with, you were able to turn around and shoot us once and we were down.
You should not host any more - at least in the tournament.

Yeah, but I never said that either.... FYI I am on the honor roll... so expect 2011.

If you want to know anything else:

I have a 3.2 (I screwed up on my finals otherwise would be higher...got C's on my spanish and french exams)

I have no study halls, and it is a block schedule (4 classes each day, 1.5 hours long every other day)... and so yeah...

I have spring break right now and for some odd reason I am bored out of my mind!... I'm gonna go play AOE 3...

WEll I get home at 4 pm. I then get something to eat and then it is usually 4:30pm by the end of that. I watch some TV now its 5pm and I play video games till 10pm. Screw around on the computer till 11pm and then start my homework.

In otherwords I average about 5hours of sleep a night... yeah I know its bad for me, but I still get good grades so I am content... except in spanish where it has gotten noticebly harder... I did better when I had french and spanish back to back!

Oh and did I mention that I am in accelerated math?

Meaning I learn math at a faster pace. In other words I learn at 1.5x the speed of regular math because in two years (freshman and sophmore) I learn freshman, sophmore, and junior math. After that then I will be in "advanced math"...

So yeah I study hard, game hard, and lose sleep a lot. I also manage to throw anime club and hockey/soccer/lacrosse refereeing into there don't forget that. Oh and I am in Student Technical support for my school. So after school I go around fixing computers!

In otherwords I usually have a full schedule... the assholish attitude you mostly know me as is from lack of sleep. Currently I am on spring break aka sleep time! So right now is probably where I have rational thought more than other times.

Oh and one more thing, generally speaking I never study (I almost always get a B or above on my tests just by trying except in spanish... which is mainly because last sem. I didn't sleep through the lessons as much...).

How long does it take you to do homework? when I was in public school it didn't start till 8 and the bus normally comes at 7:15 which by your math would have been me getting up at 6:30, So inless it takes you 2 hours to complete homework ....

DemonicDerek
03-24-2008, 05:49 PM
I get up at 7:20ish am....

Math is a bitch and usually takes 1-1.5hours... so yeah... French/Spanish takes almost half an hour... Industrial Technology never has any homework...usually nor does Microsoft Word 2 (WE just learn to format and type documents). Biology is generally very short in terms of how long it takes to do homework. Asian Latin is also generally short however there is the occasional quarter project assignment that takes 4 hours or so...

I liked timeshift. The text was too small, but the gameplay was fun, and watching people fire rockets back at themselves is hilarious... So is watching people in slow-motion as they know they can't escape... :lol:
