Recently some people were trying to ruin his life so he'd be out of the spotlight, then kill him. Or at least that's the rumor going around. Anyway, this led to him popping up in a bunch of interviews and shiz and now there's a Charlie Sheen meme going around then net.

 

[JCaesar]

Man how can you guys be talking about Charlie Sheen with all the recent Pound 5 drama?

 

[Sudai]

Because no one's concisely summed up Pound V drama for me yet.

 

[JCaesar]

Plank overestimated attendance and had to use the prize money to pay for the venue (and was still in the hole himself in the end). None of the winners of the main events got paid.

That's about as non-biased as I can put it.

The highest number of viewers of that thread (with proof) is 220. Project M thread still wins with 268 at demo launch

 

[Sudai]

lul at that.

 

[stingers]

project m > pound V confirmed

 

[Heartstring]

great, all these shenanigans just as im preparing my hosting myself XD
ive just had 5 of the same question from different people

'if you dont make enough money to cover attendance, where will you get the money?'

*******es

 

[stingers]

lmao
that sucks dawg =[ one person ruined it for the masses

Go to your user profile. The first six friends on your friends list are now your team for the upcoming Zombie Apocalypse. How screwed are you?

Sudai, 제시카, Spin, Project-05, Stealth Raptor, Shadow Swordsman


Modified from the facebook status thing going around. I'd say I'm not screwed at all with my SWF team. Chyeaaaaaah~ ;D

 

[CT Chia]

Sabs801, Solid Jake, *CT*, Wind Owl, mib004, and Spire

Me, Spire, SJ, and MIB got this no problem at all
@SD - Zombie apoc crew battle!!!

 

[Sapphire Dragon]

Crew battle? You're on. >: )

 

[Zwarm]

I was on your Facebook team, Saph.

 

[Sapphire Dragon]

Ah, I see XD Didn't recognize your name, now I know who you are~ :D

Super awesome, that's three people from SWF then. I got toasty too on fb :D

 

[Zwarm]

You also got Dajayman. XD

 

[Sapphire Dragon]

Yes. I know.


It's good and bad. But hey, I have someone who can
[collapse=Don't read if you're easily irritable/tired of Jay]

[Sapphire Dragon]

Lawl XD

 

[CJTHeroofTime]

My team...
Superspright-aka some random guy who challenged my rob over youtube once...
WolfsReign- one of my best friends, win
Lord Khanti- met him at a tourney years ago...
Gaia_x aka Cura- booyah I'll accept
eeveee- Sweet deal
Ness_success- chill dude I saw at a tourney or two

I think I'll be fine, especially considering the ridiculous support bonuses I'll be getting with wolf'sreign and Cura will be getting with eeveee. Worst case scenario, sacrificing superspright gives the rest of the team a free getaway.

 

[Mister Eric]

My day has consisted of nothing but Linear Algebra

and League of Legends.

and now it's time for...

([-_-]Zzzs

<3

 

[CJTHeroofTime]

That post^

 

[Sapphire Dragon]

 

[Zwarm]

I lol'd.

I'm officially 20... yay?

 

[JCaesar]

Oh man I hated Lin Al ... Multivariable Calc or Diff EQ for me please.

 

[Heartstring]

lol, i saw the sneaky little text r.o.b in there!

also, either america uses different notation in matrix algebra...or ive got much more to learn about it XD

 

[CJTHeroofTime]

Oh man I hated Lin Al ... Multivariable Calc or Diff EQ for me please.

**** Diff Eq, hardest class I've ever taken. Lin Al was the easiest A ever. Multivariable Calc was pretty good.

Linear Algebra > Multivariable Calc > Eating feces > English language arts > Differential Equations

Spoiler

Just kidding, Diff Eq>>>>English Language Arts

 

[ipitydatfu]

discrete math = bleh.
diff eq is the most useful math i've taken

physical organic chemistry <333

 

[CJTHeroofTime]

Discrete isn't bad. I just got my first test back, either an A or an A- depending one the class grade distribution =D

 

[ipitydatfu]

its not bad. its just boring

 

[Sapphire Dragon]

At least you all have some math skills.

>.>

 

[Zwarm]

I'm in the same boat as you, Saph.

 

[Sudai]

I'm taking Calc 2 for the 3rd time. High School + Transfer Credits getting botched. lol

Took discrete before I transfered to LSU too. It's dumb.

 

[Sapphire Dragon]

Ew, transfer credits botched? Wow. Makes me wonder why colleges are so picky about credits, seriously. It's crazy that people have to keep taking the same classes over and over when they've already taken AND passed them for credits.

I'm in the same boat as you, Saph.

I see x.x Math challenged people, unite~

 

[Zwarm]

HYESZ!

I finished Calc 1 last year at school, and I never want to go near a math class again.

 

[Sapphire Dragon]

HYESZ!

I went through Algebra 1, Geometry (Just barely made a D in that one), Algebra 2, and going through Prob/Stats.

I wish I could never take another math class again. My problem: Comp Sci req's. *sob*

Oh well though. I have the best tutor in the world that I can go to. ^.^

 

[Zwarm]

My major was comp sci too, I only had to go through Calc 1 to meet the requirements, lol.

Since everyone is on the topic of education related stuffs...

College has been something I've struggled with for about 4 yrs now. Not necessarily the workload, but just deciding what to do.

Here's my story if anyone's interested:
[collapse=I posted this once for an e-mailing system last semester so it's convenient to copy and paste]

I'm a 21-yr-old student at Morehead State University. I'm in my 4th year of college, which might seem like I'm close to nailing my teacher's degree, but as anyone that knows me can tell you, it is very difficult for me to make up my mind. After spending 2 years at the University of Kentucky with an Engineering major, I came into college making one of the biggest mistakes of my life; coming unprepared. I soon discovered that college wasn't just a doorway to my future, but several doorways in fact. I soon became fascinated in anything and everything and quickly became unmotivated in my current major, Mining Engineering. I became interested in English, Theater, Mythology, you name it, I loved it. But the more unmotivated I got with my Engineering classes, the more my grades began to spiral downward. I soon became suspended from the college of Engineering and decided that I probably shouldn't be wasting money (that I don't have) at an expensive University. Hence, why I voyaged over to MSU.

But why Education, you ask? I landed a job, the summer before I changed my major, at a Day Care center and that place soon didn't feel like work for me. I loved working with kids; it brought out the kid in me to be quite honest. This semester, after a 3 semesters into Middle Grade Education (Math/English), I decided to change my major once again. Shocked? As much as I enjoyed working with kids, I did initially think that teaching was my future. Where I could guide kids to a brighter future. Help boost their potential and ambitions in any way possible; that was my goal. But after a year into the field, my conscious once again began to take a toll on me.

I began imagining myself more and more leading a classroom and the more I thought about it, the more sick it made me. It's not because I have the jitters of doing it. It's because I felt pinned down again and to be honest, I'm not sure I'm ready to lead a class as much as I'd love to. I don't feel that in two years or so that I should be someone's role model. I think I have the enthusiasm and the personality to really win students over, but I don't think that's all the ingredients to build a successful classroom. I also don't think that these ingredients can be taught in Methods classes, etc. I believe these are self-learned over time. I also wasn't ready to take on the responsibility that you teachers boldly take on. Teaching eventually becomes your life, and I'm not sure I'm ready for that.

After arguing with myself, and having a long, heart-felt conversation with one of my professors, I (we) decided that I needed something more flexible. Something that gave me more options, if teaching really wasn't for me. That's why I am now a [Non-teaching] Mathematics major. It's a very flexible major and Math is something that comes natural to me. It also leaves the door open to allow me to teach some day (which I still really want to do). I still admire you teachers. You raise those students like parents and (hopefully) strive to lead them to a brighter future. I think teachers are very under-appreciated and should be treated as well as doctors are. I also feel that getting into the education field should be a more strenuous process. A process that weeds out the weak and those that are truly not cut out for this type of career because we all know that some of these people seem to worm right on by and that's when we get educators like some that haunt my past. [/collapse]

So yea, that was to my online group of teachers that I had to communicate with for a while.

Anywho.

TL;DR

Now I'm in my 4th yr of school and a Math Major/CS Minor who's interested in robotics.

Now I'm not sure whether or not to finish up a Math degree (which I've only been doing for a semester now) and look into robotics later or do it now.

Decisions...decisions...

 

[Sapphire Dragon]

Well, you're definitely on the right track. Just like you did with teaching, you have to imagine what you want to be doing for the rest of your life. A Math major is much more flexible than robotics, and robotics is a very specialized field where you can get specific jobs that deal with robots (and likely get some hefty pay). Robotics is very, very challenging and time consuming though, and I know someone who pretty much had to devote herself to it for a while when she was having a problem getting things working. A math major gives you bigger options for jobs but more than likely, the bulk of them won't be pay close to what robotics will pay. So overall, I would talk with the professor that helped you before about whether or not you want to be flexible or specific at this point in time, and take your devotion into account at the same time.

Alternatively, you could do a Comp Sci major and a robotics minor, and that would give you the best of both in a way. Hope this helps, and good luck in college~ :D

 

[CJTHeroofTime]

I have no idea what I'm going to do. My problem is that I don't really enjoy any subject to the point that I could stand doing it for a living. I don't look at any field and say 'Wow! That's so cool!.' I originally came to SUNY Albany as a a physics major intending on doing pre-law, but eventually I realized I wouldn't wanna do law for my whole life. Now I'm a nanoscale engineering major simply because I got into the program and because of the (supposedly) ridiculous job potential it would give me (not that I'm particularly interested in any of the jobs I'd be able to get... or even know what they are, for that matter). So yeah, I definitely feel ya on that, Mister Eric
