My friend and I did a free one at UCCS once. It reminded us of martial arts (for him, Muay Thai. For me, Ninjutsu). After the session was done, we couldn't do it again. I remember in one particular instance, one of the movements is just like throwing someone across the room in Ninjutsu. I don't want to "accidentally" chuck some unlucky girl because I've gone through the motions way too many times in the dojo.
Wait you live in Highlands Ranch. Do you know a Benaji261?

I checked out 65 Days of Static, and this song reminds me a lot of a song that my band wrote, so I guess we might be your style.

Also, we're in the horrible, horrible process of recording right now. As soon as we lay down some better mixed tracks, I'll give 'em to ya. We're going to release an EP hopefully sometime soon, and then finish a full length by the time I leave in the summer.

It's a pretty tight song. Lemme know when you'll be at a fest/tourney sometime, and I'll bring mah .flac versions of their stuff along with headphones.
And yeah, definitely give me that ASAP. Or just lemme know when/where you guys play, soz I can head down n' check it out.
Alright. Tiny tummy ache, bored, and wanting a jorb, but other than that, purdy good. Yourself?Hey tony.

Well, the characters. Tony got the main file, and we got the character files from the first post. Pretty sure we got them all. But after they were on the sd card and we launched the game from gecko, it just played normal. No ridiculous things =(
Also, maaaaaaaybe I'll hold a fest saturday. I probably can, actually. Sure, why not. But I demand cookies or something for my trouble!
Also, hooray for more people possibly joining the scene. I also like how for the most part, it's still everyone maining a different character. That's ridiculous.

Oh, right, Yang asked about being a game tester.
Well, the job starts out with a day of getting shown around the buildings, and lectured on dos and don'ts. You get it explained in very good detail that everything in the testing room is confidential, nothing goes past the locked door that you get a keycard for. A keycard you leave at security each night and pick up every morning. After having everything you can be "completed" for explained, you go into another room, where you're introduced to the idea of finding bugs and testing. They show some examples of all the different classifications of bugs, things like hard locks, soft locks, text issues, and so on.
After that, you get assigned to a project. The majority of the people there, including you, are temp workers, but each project has at least 2 permanent employees running the thing. If a project is just starting, you spend the first week just playing the game, and filling out surveys about what you liked/disliked and what should be changed. My first project was Mario Pinball, and the early builds of it were awful.
After you've gotten used to the game, everyone gets assigned portions of the game to test. Maybe you're testing world 1, or maybe you're stuck testing the fishing pond in a zelda game. Either way, when you get a new build of a game, you play through the game once, then test your area. Usually your area gets assigned by what the perms see you doing well or right. In big brain academy, my testing job was to get all the platinum medals, since I could get them all fastest.
This starts out as a 40 hour a week thing, with an hour lunch and 2 15 minute breaks through the day. I usually ended up playing melee on the breaks and during lunch. When a project is getting near done, however, hours and overtime begin piling up. If you're on an average project, it may mean going to 50 or 60 hours a week, by adding 2 hours on at night, and work on saturday. If you're on an extremely important or buggy project...well, a month of 90 hour weeks can strain sanity. Heck, 40 hour weeks already made me not want to play games when I got home from work, I'd just watch roommates play them and surf the internet.
Sounds like a bit of a downer, I suppose. But that's where the co-workers come in. A surprisingly diverse bunch, they're all pretty awesome. Some are jerks, but have their good points, and overall the co-workers made that job what it was. When the Wii got named, everyone there spent 2 hours just making jokes about it, barely working. It was freaking hilarious. The co-workers get you through the days, and you do the same for them.
Overall, it was a fun time in my life. Given the chance, I might do it again.

I am doing awesome.
I met this girl and everything is just going really well right now. I am signing up for spring semester at byu, but I am only going to be taking two classes and I will be working for a security place for a little bit. But, I will be able to travel a bunch next semester.

Oh, and as for bug reporting, we had a terribly designed program that broke a lot that we entered bug descriptions into. The devs could see it and then would tell us if they fixed the bug, and we'd have to go back and check it next build. There was also a checklist of important things that the perms usually took care of, like no loading screens longer than 25 seconds, and no screen without motion for more than 6 seconds.

What is the appeal of Sociology? I've asked a billion people online that are majoring in it, and they all just ignore me. It seems like white people trying to understand things, but using stereotypes to do so.
Psych is kinda cool.

I'm bored. Someone come play smash with me.
