Lament 3: Cry Hard With A Vengeance

[Flagg]

And now I'm worried about my friends in South Korea.

I don't really care about how little sense it makes for North Korea to go and do anything stupid. It all rests on the assumption that their leader hasn't bought his own propaganda.

He's doing the exact same shit his father did. The problem is that SK and the US aren't playing the game anymore. So Jong Un needs to keep ratcheting up the pressure to get the concessions he wants.

i saw a thing saying they want to reorganize their economy but need to shrink the military to do it and thus are using nukes to enable that kinda like the united states did in the later 1950's

So, just noticed...

1 - Aaron => 2549
2 - Oxymoron => 2234
3 - Zod => 2212
4 - starku => 2072

Woah...

1/ I -really- am spamming shit everywhere in this place it seems
2/ it's funny how after having left the place for a few month and lost quite a number of his posts, Stak is still fourth in this list.

Stark drove discussion here. Too bad Fatass ran him off.

So, just noticed...

man why are you taking time out of your day to look at this stuff

[RogueIce]

Fucking spammers the lot of ya.

[RogueIce]

I'm number 10 by the way.

man why are you taking time out of your day to look at this stuff

Because it provides for mild entertainment, duh.

Like looking at SDN's memberlist by top postcount.

Darth Wong rules that shit.

[RogueIce]

And Stark is number 2 in total posts over on SDN as well.

[adr]

i think i'm more accurately in 4th place cuz i have two accounts

edit: maybe even 3rd

[evilsoup]

lol adr are you getting jealous that you're not first place?

[adr]

no it is actually pretty weak that i post this fucking much. tho i have been getting better: my admin account hasn't been used regularly since this one was up

in that time before, my post per day was about 4.7. since then it has fallen to about 2.6

but anyway my main point is simply:

1/ I -really- am spamming shit everywhere in this place it seems

me too

[Zod]

And Stark is number 2 in total posts over on SDN as well.

I took a year or so's break from posting on SDN a while back and I'm still number 10 somehow. I barely post there anymore as it is.

[Phantasee]

and i hadn't gone and gotten myself employed...

fuck...

I'm stupidly excited about a goddamn municipal election. It's not even mayoral, it's the primary for our city council's at-large seats. Also the Lancaster county party starts the election night party for both the primary and general an hour before the polls close. Dumb.

[Phantasee]

Muni elections are the shit

I have two friends running for city council seats

I'm looking forward to campaigning for them this fall

[Losonti Tokash]

What's hilarious is that thanks to citizens united our election is getting flooded with money from outside organizations trying to get our incumbent knocked out. No idea how effective it's being but our other two candidates are really popular and we only need two of the three to win in order to keep our majority. Mayor is a democrat too so things are looking good.

[Questor]

So, this isn't really a vent, but I finished my first week in my new job.

Yeah, life is good!

[Losonti Tokash]

Awww yeah

[The Spartan]

Update: My neck is okay, so no worries.

Good. Glad you're OK. Whiplash is a biiiitch.

Dude, trust me, I understand that more than I'd ever wish to know. I wouldn't wish neck issues on my worst enemy.

Well.... maybe my worst enemy. It'd serve the fucker right.

Just turned a 2.5-3 hour drive into a 4 hour trek thru freezing rain and blinding snow. Ugh. It was foggy af driving south towards the end and started the freezing rain in the city north of Calgary, was rain most of the day in Calgary, and then was heavy freezing rain when I left (a little late, at 9). Took me only 2.5 hours to get there because I had a VW Rabbit as a rabbit ahead of me doing 140 the whole way; took 4 hours coming home because I was doing 50-80 on a highway marked for 110. Lanes weren't clear of snow at all in some sections, my car floated thru them. Was spooky.

Not as bad as my worst drive down QE2 tho. That was last summer, went down for an event that ended early because Calgarians suck; the drive home, I decided to do at 11pm instead of the next day like I planned. Thunderstorms with such heavy rain that I couldn't see the road, my car floated on the water in sections it was so thick, couldn't see a damn thing unless lightning was striking (which was like 80 flashes a minute for a long time). That 2.5 hour drive became 6.5, including a 45 minute nap in Red Deer because I was tired and the storm was too heavy.

This was second worst tho, easy.

I have become adr.

I am playing the Warcraft II Campaign.

For the first time*



*Well okay, first time without using cheat codes because I was a total wuss about this game when I was a young'un.

And I lost everything except two footmen and a pair of archers on the Grim Batol mission. The one where you have to fight your way to a town area. And I literally can't win against the remaining cannon towers and Ogres with what I have left.

So you like posting here and you like it a lot. What's wrong with that? STRAK being a negsmug spamming bitterroot says nothing about you. Post on, dudes! Even Zod, you crazy diamond, you. Shine on.

Warcraft II may be my favorite game of all time (except maybe Conquest: Frontier War), and I still love its music more than almost any modern game's.

I never actually played the war2 campaign. I got it only for multiplayer (and barely actually played it since we only had the one computer...)

Fun fact: when I bought warcraft two, I didn't even have a computer yet! I saw the war2 battle.net edition for $10 at the Staples one day and figured I'd better get it now. Not uncommon for me, I got Chrono Trigger before having a super Nintendo (and my first one was actually a snes circuit board I put in a shoe box and called my system), Lunar: SSSC before getting a playstation, and Perfect Dark before getting a n64 as well.

I saw or played all those games briefly at friends' houses and when I had an opportunity to get them, decided to take it. Totally worth it.

But as it worked out, I got an old computer just a couple months after and played some single player against the computer, but never did the campaign mode.


but yeah the music was great, the multiplayer great... the vs computer skirmish was ok. The computer would always seem to play too well and beat me fast or too stupid and get its army stuck on a mountain, or fail to build a navy on the island maps, etc., and provide no challenge at all. StarCraft did a much better job on that. (and I did play the SC campaign. with cheat codes.)

I am really sick of listening to my coworker constantly chew with her mouth open.
