So...

It is a testamant to how addictign Advance Wars is that I completely suck at it, and yet still play it all the time even though I don't improve in the slightest.

Just move along, you saw nothing.

It's a good thing cars don't run on HP Black Ink #45.

And it's too bad printers don't run on crude oil.

Is that counting only the cost of the ink or also the plastic cartridge and the print head installed on the cartridge as well?

Noooooooooooo!!! Oh man, dang it! Last night, I dreamed that the official demo for Duke Nukem Forever had finally been released. Man, and it was everything we had hoped it would be - awesome graphics, huge, interactive worlds, explosions, gore, Duke-Nukem style humor... Pretty much everything that made Duke Nukem awesome, but in a much better engine. And there were tons of weapons, and realistic damage - you could shoot a monster with a shotgun, and even if the monster didn't die, you could see how it had torn off chunks of flesh and such. Oh, and it had this really cool physics engine that allowed you to use the environment as weapons - so, for instance, you could attach a chain to a heavy object and use it as a mace. The absolute worst part, though, was that I didn't realize it was a dream - I had played through a couple of levels, and then woke up, thoroughly disappointed.

I hear you Rock nog.

A few months before Brawl cam out, I dreamed I was playing it and owning the crap out of my best friend. ...like that'll ever happen. >_> He can beat me even when he sets his handicap to 100%. He has this combo with fox that takes me from 0% to 45-57% with no chance of escaping it.

Oh, describe it. I think I might know the one. I'm an avid Fox player as well, (I believe him to be my main above all other "mains."😉 and I've got a bunch of tricks I've observed to work as well.

The combo In question is something like this: He does some thing to hit me into the air, and then does this multiple kick thing on me. then, he follows it up by chasing me with another jump and another kick attack, and then goes for an extra bit of damage by trying to nail me with a fire fox. And I cna't get away from the second kick combo. I airdodge, use my air attacks, heck I even tried my spring (sonic is my main), and no matter what, BAM, I get hit.

:P sorry if it's not very descriptive, but...

oh, and he has this other one where he juggles me with his up tilt.

Ah, that's the one. Fox's standing up-tilt is incredibly powerful. It's one of the core reasons why I essentially dropped Falco in Brawl. (I actually mained Falco in Melee a bit above Fox for that and more reasons.) Combo the Up-Tilt with a shorthopped drillkick and repeat the process for as long as your height can muster. End with a tailwhip and you're cool.

I just wonder around these forums to post a few replies here and there. Sometimes I do this out of boredom, sometimes curiosity, and sometimes I just lurk back for no reason.
Whatever the case it's always "Here today, gone tomorrow"

There's some forums I go to once in a great while. Some of the timespans have exceeded one year since I last visited.
With the fair almost right next to where I work, we were busy for 5 hours straight. It was quite unpleasant to deal with a bunch of mopes. But, I got to hang out with some of my friends after I got out of work. First time on the tilt-a-whirl and I didn't even puke. 😃

McDonalds is run by morons, but I like it: I get a Sausage McMuffin Meal, and it costs $3.78. I go to the first window, give the girl $5, and she gives me $2.22. Then I go to the front window get the bag and when I get home there's an extra sausage McMuffin. This might as well be a free meal.

Why are they called McMuffins, anyway? Never really thought about it before, but they've really got nothing to do with muffins whatsoever.

It's cause they're on English Muffins.

Ah, yes, right. Duh! Well, anyway, gratz on the free food, phattonez!

I've had that happen to me at not just McDonalds, but also Sonic sometimes. I'd find that I'd have either an extra of what I ordered or something I didn't order. I find it amusing sometimes. :kitty:

Oh yes, Sonic. The guys who advertise in the LA Area yet only have about 1 in the whole swath of land that is the LA Metropolitan Area. The food and everything that they have looks really good, but I can't go.

But then again, there are a ton in Bakersfield of all places.

I see ads for Sonic on TBS once and in a while, and I wish there was one at least remotely close to where I live 😞 I found out last night that they closed down the Huddle House a few days ago. That was possibly the worst location for it, so that might have contributed to it.

Sonic is awesome. Sadly, there are no Sonics around here. But don't you just love it when you see advertisements for things that don't even exist in your area?

I didn't know any of that before. Wow. Makes me appreciate that there's a Sonci in the small town I live in. And that they mess up my order in a good way occasionally. :kitty:

We were driving through town. And in our 100k population town, there are four Sonics. And I think there is anothre going up in the middle of town.
But I have a funny story about a sonic. Me and a few friends were going on a trip. We stopped at the Sonic, and the drivre ordered. For some reason, the rest of us ordered aftre the drivre. Nobody responded when we pushed the button the second time, so the guy riding shotgun said, "I bet if I shout something weird, they will respond." So he waited a minute, and randomly shouted "Buttsex!" Two seconds latre, the lady said, may I take your ordre?

Johnamus, are you British or Canadian?

I am neither.
But I didn't notice that I was switching my rs and es. Honestly.

That's weird, Johnny; it looks to me like your post there is number 3985. Don't really know what to tell ya...

It took forever but I finally got my stimulus check! I was worried I'd never get it since everybody I know got their's around the end of April/beginning of June. Now for spending fun! :kitty:

Whelp, I"m finally back in the states.

And I'm exhausted.

Crikey, I've realized how addicting Disagea is. Must...keep...playing...
