Ok, Since we really need a proper place to post stupid links and such that we find on this wide interweb, I figured I'd start this thread.
So! All together, in this thread No Excuse is Needed to Post! None of this "I need to be responding to something in some sort of vaguely related manner" BS.
And....I'm back home, in Spokane, and my body thinks it's sometime past 5 AM, when it's only 2 AM Pacific Time. Wheee!
Anyways, uh, something random from me. I came home, and what did I find lurking in my fridge?
That's right. And it's tasty Tiki Orange Mango soda too. Made me think about you two and what you would think of it. >_>
Oh, and of course, when I saw this when I was waiting forever for my baggage, I saw this to drool for ad for the most bloody expensive steakhouse in Spokane. Yummy indeed, good thing I had eaten Chinese food in Denver.
It also made me wonder if it was cooked too much for your liking Bob. Plenty of red still inside but the outside...>_>
Yeah. Okay. Must go sleep now, or go play all the video games I haven't been playing, either way.

ZOMG, that just brightened my day a whole lot. Cuz, cuz:
A) Today, I got my MacBookPro back in the forms of an 8 pound powerless paperweight. I just finished writing an email to cattle prod the IT dude who took care of this as to why I wasn't informed that something had gone wrong with the repair. ._.
B) GRADES COME OUT TOMMOROW (5/18) on IQ Web. >_________< Urghhhh.....not looking forward to it.
But of course, me and my friends haven't met for D&D character making of awesomness yet. That might make me happy too. =D
Yes....and what happened apparently is Matt Bliese (The Digital Checkout dude) said that Apple was supposed to have shipped it back to Ringling...and it ended up here instead. So they can send me a shipping label to send it back to Ringling without me paying an arm and leg for it.
The bad part is there are some bad things that are flying my way though, *Grumble*Damn Apple's flimsy warranty*grumble*, but IT at Ringling is rather compromising. >_>
AND.....
I PASSED TA! I PASSED TA! *does Kick the Can!* And since I'm up right now, I could do the Zoot as well!

Yes, I had a relatively good day.I went shopping, continued my hunt for a job I can actually tolerate, and saw Shrek 3 (Worth the 8 bucks, animation was awesome, but eh, not like Dreamworks raised the bar here with story...). All except when I came to try and persuading my friends here in Spokane to have a nice, quiet (ish) night doing something like play video games and/or D&D.
All they wanted to do is go out on the town, visit and meet blah blah blah, "have adventures downtown at night" *shudders*,etc,etc.
I miss playing D&D. >_< I miss video games with people. Oh, and speaking of that:
Bob, you know we have to play multi against each other when we get back to Sarasota. So if you haven't already gotten this game in the US version....=P. I dunno if a Japanese version game would work against the US version. >_> I saw this while filling out a Gamestop application form at the mall and I couldn't stop myself from buying it, darn it.
That, and my mom bought me some interesting books at Barnes and Noble, including:
I've been meaning to get the American version of Card Fighters for a while now, but have you been on to Fighters Generation recently? I've been avoiding getting my copy for a while because of a concerning post that went up there a while ago.
Apparently on level nine the game glitches and it is impossible to continue (100% of the cartidge theoretically have it - wtf playtesters?)
The response was then posted as this:
"After a careful analysis by the game's programmers and after reviewing the reported bug encountered when meeting John on level 9 we, SNKP USA, have decided that the best action is to offer a replacement cartridge. We will order new repaired DS cartridges from Nintendo that will take approximately six weeks to receive. As soon as we receive the replacement cartridges we will give instructions as to where to mail your DS cartridge to receive a replacement. We apologize for this programming error and will correct it as soon as possible. Please do not return your game to the store of purchase. We will do an exchange program as soon as the new game paks arrive from Nintendo. Please continue to visit our website for updated information. We will update this announcement as soon as we are able to plan a date for the exchange to begin."
~Ben Herman - President of SNK PLAYMORE USA CORPORATION
Anyway, they might have already done the recall, so it's not that much of a concern.
Regardless, definately tell me if you get to level 10 :D
Yeah, AFTER I bought the game I thought to randomly wander onto Fighter's Generation (I'm not an addict to it anymore...just...when I play games with characters I have no fircken clue who they are *cough*SNK characters*cough*) and I found out about the glitch.
I'm on Floor 5 right now so I'll soon find out if I got a copy that's glitched or not. But seriously...it makes me wonder if this game got playtested AT ALL, because not only is there a glitch, the English translation is HORRIBLE. I'm normally not a grammar whore, except in Japanese to English translations where if something is misunderstood in the Japanese it can turn the whole entire sentence wrong. >___<

So yeah, my turn to post, will do that soon. ALSO!!
So, in actuality, the next month's rent for us is due on the 5th! D: I was just thinking about this, and I realized I've STILL been a lazy bum and haven't gotten copies of the lease to you guys. Hence, I will send each of you a copy soon, hopefully tonight, by email. ALSO, I will send you each a note on DA... with Ash's new address! this is the address you need to send your checks to. It's $400 each, payed to the order of Ashley (full name will be on address, not saying it here). So yeah, that probably should be mailed off soon so Ash gets the money securely BEFORE the fifth.
I'm just being mildly paranoid, as I want to make sure we're able to do this whole "rent" thing correctly the first time.
Also, after I email, I'm gonna call both of you. Cuz I'm a stalker!
I apoligize if people have seen this already...but...I must leave you with something, and I leave you with a video that made me laugh my freakin head off even more than most Phoenix Wrongs do.
So that SNK doki doki game is (unsurprisingly) being turned into a hentai manga now! From what I've seen, half the responses are "Anime too plz?" and the rest are distributed between "You can hardly call them prepubescent with 'assets' like those" and "wtf."
Doki Doki Majo Saiban must be the most hyped SNK game, well, ever. It's a no brainer that a game with this kind of buzz is getting an adaptation. This September, an official Doki Doki Majo Shinpan manga will kick off in saucy Japanese comic book Champion Red. It will be made by Ken Yagami, who created Nanaka 6/17. Since then, he's been kicking around, drawing for adult comics and erotic games. Sounds like a perfect match! -Brian Ashcraft
Anyway, just seemed like zootable news.
In news I'm more interested in: Maximum Impact has been confirmed to being a 6 game series. An intro for the next one is out at this point: http://www.cyberfanatix.com/page.php?id=814
I have yet to see it, as my internet is a bit less than optimal for downloading.
Also, why does no one oekaki? Am I the only one who finds it incredibly fun? :<
I've been trying to do oekaki, but the annoyances and glitches of OekakiBBS is preventing me from posting anything as I think it all looks like crud. I blame Shi Painter for that, it's more flexible than OekakiBBS I guess. >_<
Oh, and I had a kickarse weekend...specially at Gameworks (the huge arcade in Seattle I spoke of). They had plenty of new machines there, especially tons of Japanese beat game stuff like...... Taiko no Tatsujin 9. I played CHA-LA-HEAD-CHA-LA FTW.
It makes me want to get the DS game that just came out. Badly. >D

In reaction to the touchy-feely witch hunt: lawlz. :P I suppose the reactions you listed are generally the reactions I would expect from that franchise in general. Good stuff.
Maximuuuuuuuum IMPACT! XD I watched the trailer. Two words: Seizure Inducing.
Also, the announcer is still stoopad.
Oekaki: I will do eet! I promise. :< I guess my initial reaction to oekaki was, "oh, it's like drawing but i have to get on my computer to do it..." Not that that's annoying or anything, considering I'm generally on my computer. So blah. I'll do sum oekakiness soon.
@Jester: Didgeridoo, as in the Austrailian tube like instrument, right? Unless that's a misspelling and it's actually, like, a pokemon themed after it, right? (desperately trying to avoid loading pages so as to avoid slowing down MI download.) Sweet if I'm right with either of my guesses.
Also, I'm totally looking forward to everything Maximum Impact related. ~~~
@Rogue: Did you by ANY chance happen to see a machine of the game "Gatcha gatchamp"? This is important. Also, that Taiko looks hardcore.
Gah... Currently hyperstimulated because of watching too many episode of Numbers too early in the morning. Must. Not. Paranoidly. Analyze. Everything. *twitch*
Ayup, the Australian instrument! It makes bow-da-bow noises and I enjoy it so.
totally unrelated: http://www.zestuff.com/plush/other/650/
This is supposed to be the male cat from VG Cats. Is it just me, or is this surprisingly poor plushie design? D:
Night two of my D&D campaign with Ben, Chappy, Pat, and Costas is happening tonight. They're testplaying next years campaign so I can make sure it's in good order for you guys. :D Woot!
@Bob: It's possible, considering the high amounts of Japanese import games and things in Seattle....but...more info about this "important" machine would be good, because I Googled it and found nothing important...much less any information whatsoever about it. Did you spell the title right? ._.

Gatcha Gatchamp is some sort of incredibly rare Japanese arcade thingy that I got obsessed with on my first trip to Japan. It IS spelled correctly, but as far as I can tell, NO ONE on the internet knows about it. There is also a second name for the "series" (1.5 games in it), which I can't remember off the top of my head. But yeah, in all three of my trips to Japan, and all my visits to every arcade I could come across, I only saw the damn thing once, so the likelyhood of it being there is fairly slim, but I still always find the need to check.
That plushy is hideos. And it looks like it's trying to be a lion. And the hair is falling off. :<
On a side, there is a bakery right next to where I'm staying. Every morning we get FRESH HOT DELICIOUS BREAD that you guys can't have. I am currently eating that bread.
And I love you all.
[edit] Ok, I found the series. The series is "Bishi Bashi" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bishi_Bashi ) and the spelling, as I remembered it was "Gatcha Gatchamp" which has one hit on the internet (other than here at zoot suit), a different spelling is "Gachaga Champ" which seems to actually exist.

OekakiBBS hates me, it's official, but now the world is that much more....Doraemon ish. X_x
I should probably post on Zoot now that I got oekaki done....but....I've fallen victim to the horror known as J-Dramas...Oh noes.....but Gokusen is soooo goood.....とてもおもしろいね〜
*Runs off to watch more "very interesting" drama~ Whoosh! =3*
ZOMG. My financial aid stuff is finally done. Now there's nothing stopping me from going back to Ringling....short of a hurricane of course. <knocks on wood>
Ishouldprobablydozootsuitbutzomgzomg....VIEWTIFUL JOE! HENSHIN A GO GO, Baby!!
Okays. Boxes are gone, hopefully they'll reach there. Jester, the dude at the post office said they could get there on Tuesday or Wedensday, so, if you would be a gentleman and when you're at the house, keep a look out and sign for them if you can they get there before I and okaasan do. >_>
There should be three boxes. One is a light one and rectangular (ironically containing a LIGHTbox. >_>) , the other two are the same size but the one that's NOT a UPS Store branded box is heavier than the other. Just thought I'd warn you.
*Wanders off to go have last huzzah with Spookaloo friends.*
I just bought a handmade bound blank book for a sketchbook. I'm insane for doing it, even though it was made with papers from all over the world, contains a nice paper with a decent tooth....why I spent $39.95 on a sketchbook I'll never know.
But, despite that....custom RPG characters+popular video game imagery= LUV.
*wanders back to packing for flight tommorow and hopefully do some more drawing later...FYI, Zooting...hopefully...*
I particularly like the screenshots. "What, this isn't WoW. Why would you think this is WoW? This looks nothing like Wow! There are no elves or anything. I mean, WoW doesn't have Sol Badguy in it, does it? Not WoW. Totally."
O NOE WE FORGOT UNCLE DAN!!1 D: ...He was hiding in a garbage can.
That shit's crazy. Five thumbs up. I think this is evidence that I need to lurk moar.
Also: been two weeks since last post... by the rules of mortal combat and zoot suit, anyone can post now? :O
-Th3 J3sT3r.

Um...I've been doing work getting the house all done up with my mother the past few days. Jestar can vouch for me even, seriously....got up, had breakfast, bought stuff, went back to the house, put bought stuff away, and....YEAHHHHH......
I just want my room set up.And our bathroom. And the buggies to go away. Etc,etc. =_=
Have some amusing banter while I'm workin on it. >_>

Hey....did anybody else recieve a message like this from Expedia in email recently???
<Partial copy>
Dear Expedia.com Traveler,
Delta Airlines has:
* Changed the departure time for 1 of your flights.
* Changed the arrival time for 1 of your flights.
Please contact us at 1-800-EXPEDIA (1-800-397-3342) or 1-404-728-8787 to review these changes and discuss your options.
</copy>
Hmm.
Then when I try and look at my flight plans online:
"Your Request Cannot Be Completed
The status of your flight has changed. Please call us at 1-800-EXPEDIA (1-800-397-3342) or 1-404-728-8787.
I guess I have to give them a ring-ding sooner or later...ugh....I hate customer service phone call crap...hopefully it's related to the non-stop flight going out and not the connection flight stuff going back. (urgh). But just wanted to toss this out there in case other people (All...5 of us?) who are booked on the same flight plans get a message like this. ._.
----------------
This message has been edited by Rogue_A on Dec 24, 2007 8:51 PM
Yes, i think everyone got this message. At least Bob and I did. I've already checked, the flight change is a measly 5 minutes on the connection through DC, so it's not a big deal. However, they do want each of us to call in and confirm that it's okay, so it's a hassle. D:
So yah, just call eventually and confirm that shiz.
And so, because we all know we are lonely little roleplaying dorks. I figure the proper way to celebrate Valentines day is with really dumb fanart and bad puns about Val's name. But since I'm not good at puns, you'll be forced to look at my crappy fanart instead.
Remember kids: The best way to say "I love you" is with the gift of children's card games. <3
