Merry Christmas everyone! This year I got:

- A blue lava lamp.
- A crazy plasma ball thingie.
- Zelda Skyward Sword game
- A lot of AXE body spray (not sure to take that offensively or not )
- A polo shirt which I'm wearing as I type this.
- A strobe light (not sure what I'm gonna do with that, but it's cool )
- Lots of candy.

It was a really big project to take up. I've been messing around with 3D game-making and I can say that it is not even remotely easy as people think. You have to be 100% dedicated and have a LOT of free time. Regardless, maybe some time down the road you'll be able to get some members together again and start this back up. Who knows?

I know that Nintendo can make great games on their own without the need for flashy graphics, as I am one who greatly appreciates gameplay over graphics. But the fact is that the majority of the buyers out there are drawn in to high definition, killer graphics. Modern Warfare 3 made something like $770 million in sales in the first 5 days of its launch. There are just far more people out there who favor cutting edge graphics and simple straightforward gameplay.

I'm currently playing the Classic Doom games again because I just love the simplicity of them, along with the mindless bloody mayhem That, and trying to beat Halo 1 on Legendary again.

I think I got strep throat once as a kid, because I remember my throat hurting so much it was hard to swallow, and I had to go to the hospital. I can't STAND cold sores, I don't get them often, but if I feel one coming on I carry around a tube of blistex for like a week and attack it

I never really thought he sounded that bad in songs like "Boring" and "Good Inside" because frankly, those are kind of light-hearted, fun songs and hearing him sing in them is more amusing than painful. The fact that he had a cold in the song "Boring" only added to the amusement Now in songs like "Always There" and "Best Friends", I can see where you're coming from, as those are very emotional songs, and his voice would not do them justice if he were to have a solo (can't remember how much he sang in the "Best Friends" song).

My friend: I just wasted all that money on a monitor with 1 billion colors that I can't even tell are there.

Me: Oh don't feel so bad, you only spent $1,300 on it.

My friend: Oh gee thanks!

 

I don't know much about weight loss, but one thing that actually caused me to lose a lot of weight was not eating close to my bed time. So my last and final thing I eat is like 2-3 hours before I go to bed. My original intention was because I used to have trouble sleeping some nights with a full stomach, but it actually caused me to drop from 170 to about 124. In fact it was such a quick sudden drop in weight that I was blood tested numerous times for things like Anemia and Diabetes. But that's all that did it was not eating late at night. I'm not sure how well this would work for anybody else, but it did for me, even though it was completely unintentional.

A long long time ago, when I was a kid, I had a dream that Littlefoot died, and I actually woke up in tears. Needless to say, it's a good thing nobody else was in the room :blink:

The only weird thing that ever happened in my house is one time in the attic I threw an article of clothing over the balcony down the stairs, and later on I saw that it was back on the attic floor. But I was very young at the time, and probably brought it back up into the attic and later forgot I did. Other than that though, nothing has ever happened. Any weird things that may happen that freak me out are easily explained. Like our house makes random creaking noises at night, but that is because it is a very old house and the walls and floor settle. We also used to hear our piano playing late at night but quickly found out it was our cat walking on the keys. And for a long time late at night I would hear very low, creepy-sounding mumbling coming from the second floor of our house, but as I got older I realized that it was the low frequency sounds coming from our upstairs tenants' television. I have never in my entire life even come close to what you may call a "paranormal encounter", and I guess I hope it stays that way
