AP's up the a** I bet lol.

But yea, crazy good GPA lol.

 

[KevinM]

Well none of you have Pokeballs, so I feel slightly better about not having dice :3

*coolshades.gif*

 

[M.K]

Kevin you don't count because you have everything.
URRYTHANG.

I think posts should count in this room.
Honestly.

 

[BSL]

I wish my school gave an extra point for honors/AP.

I'm gonna learn how to play guitar soon. Pro-guitar on rock band here I come.

Not a joke. That's how I plan on learning.

 

[#HBC | Gorf]

Rock Band guitar =/= real guitar AT ALL. Idk about the new Rock Band (my friend told me it was like a real guitar?), but from the previous installments, it's NOT the same in any way.

I wish I was smart enough to hope to pass AP :/. Oh well lol.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

I was a bowler (and all state lol they give all state for bowling) in high school. I play basketball too.

 

[BSL]

Yeah, I'm talking about the rockband 3 new guitar. The guitar controller can be used as a real guitar, so I'm almost positive it'll be the same as te real thing on expert.

Bowling is an LHSAA (Louisiana Hismgh School Athletics Association) sport. You can letter in it. How awesome is that?

A] Thank you captain obvious.

B] Pssst...

And I'm with ya BSL, if I can scrounge up the money I plan to do the same.

 

[vanderzant]

Oh fun! How are you liking it so far? I'm enjoying it so much.

Here is a handy Japanese-->English Pokemon Dictionary:

http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=78929

Of course it doesn't have the dialouge and what not, but for special abilities/types it has them there
Yay I'm so glad more people are playing it :DDDDDD We should talk about it sometime.

Yeah it's good, that smogon link is broken though... which forum is it in? I'll look for it later.

EDIT: Ahh forums are just down...

I picked the fire starter, called him "PORKY," I don't like the look of his 3rd evo, but I like strong/quick pokemon for in game teams.

So... general question:

What are some hobbies (outside of Dgames, lol) that you guys do? I'm a sneaker head, meaning I collect and sell rare shoes, mostly Nike dunks and Jordans.

That's cool! I'm a swimmer. Like, ocean/open water swimming. It's fun, even if it takes up most of my time.

 

[Ronike]

Psst... Fire ganon's slow as ****...

 

[adumbrodeus]

I was a trackie and a football player, not good enough at either to do college sports.


Too bad martial arts isn't a college sport (cept judo) I'm really good.

 

[Evil Eye]

I do a bunch of random types of exercise. Whatever catches my interest in a given period of my life. Jogging and weight lifting are always favorites.

Also a far more interesting hobby is that I like to research and practice simple street fighting and martial arts moves that suit my style of movement and whatnot. It's pretty cool, I feel like I'm patching together a new kind of martial art or something. On that note, if anyone happens to know of some cool youtube videos or something on that subject, I'd be really interested

Then sometimes I write, and stuff. It's tricky to list hobbies as I generally have hobbies that I cycle through in shifts or something, rather than a bunch I'm doing all the time. Oh and I'm a huge film buff if that counts as a hobby. When you watch as many movies as I do it totally should.

 

[#HBC | Mac]

I was a defensive back/WR in high school.

I liked defensive back so much. So fun just hitting people.

I did track for a lil bit. Though I stopped doing it junior year of highschool when I got bigger and wasn't as fast as the best anymore. It was pretty funny though cuz I was the best high jumper at my school and I didn't even have the proper form. Instead of running and doing the gazzelle like spinning backwads leap over the bar. I would just stand in front of the bar, and jump straight up/back and arch my back. Track coach always wanted me to do track again and practice but I was far too lazy


and breakdancing was much more worth my time

 

[Overswarm]

I play over half a dozen instruments, do bead art to decorate my room (almost done with the entire MM2 group), play lots and lots of SC2, occasionally a Brawl tournament now, and spend the majority of my time with my lady. I have lots of introvert hobbies.

 

[SwordsRbroken]

I play the piano (been playing it for 7 or 8 years), i play on my Xbox, i enjoy playing and watching football, hanging with friends, oh and guns interest me. I could talk your ear off about them.

BTW, anyone who is into NFL football. Which team is your favorite? I like the eagles and the ravens.

 

[Nicholas1024]

Heh. My favorite teams are the Eagles, and the ones that beat the Cowboys.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

Watch college football more.

do follow pro for fantasy football though

 

[Nicholas1024]

I'll never understand why people enjoy college football more than pro. It's a lower level of competition, and half the matches are the best teams playing vastly inferior teams for easy wins, AND the playoff system is a joke!

 

[DtJ Jungle]

Because I'm from Detroit.

 

[Nicholas1024]

Ah. (Lions ARE on their way up, IMO. Injury to stafford was brutal though.)

 

[DtJ Jungle]

lol You have no idea how many times I hear "Lions are looking to improve" only to go 4-12 rather than 3-13.

 

[Overswarm]

Stop talking about sprotasdklfjasdlgkjasdklgasvkmskl

 

[adumbrodeus]

Lemme see, beyond my martial arts obsession, I play piano, sing, play guitar, run, bike, do parcour, write, dance (hip-hop, ballroom, and random cultural dances), play random video games, play chess, and have a ton of other interests.


Yea, I do a lot.

*brofists*

I was a sprinter/huddler/long and triple jumper, I was a defensive back (for the exact same reason) and I love breakdancing.

Stop talking about sprotasdklfjasdlgkjasdklgasvkmskl

No.

10nos.



Also, didn't we get you into soccer? The gayest most defensive game ever?

 

[BSL]

I played offensive line linebacker in middle school/ freshman year.

I was great at middle school, but I am way too small to get a spot on the team now.

Oh, and I am going to learn how to do the Melbourne shuffle.

 

[KevinM]

I play Basketball, Baseball, Soccer, Football, and a multitude of other sports.

I played Tennis and got scouted but did not want to play college sports.

Oh and I play guitar so if people want to actually learn I can probably give advice :D

 

[M.K]

I love watching/playing Football, Basketball, and other fun sports. Tennis is probably the sport I'm 2nd best at.

College Basketball is where it's at (only cuz UNC is the team I cheer for lol)

 

[X1-12]

i have a new bestfriend

when you say you love breakdancing... do you mean you actually do it or just love watching it.

If you actually do it then:
How long have you bboyed for? Have you ever battled anyone? You got a crew?

I dance in general alot too, apart from bboying I've done hiphop/salsa/ballet/locking for only a lil while(though I pop and lock in the shower all the time XD)/i've danced in musicals... dunno what to call that. I've done a crapload of performance of all kinds.

I always wanted to do parkour but i dunno if I'm confident enough for it. I have to relearn backflips like once every month. What ends up happening is I don't do em for a while so I get too scared to try, so I'd spend an afternoon on a mat building my confidence and then would have em again like that.

Backflips are deceptively easy actually, I think almost anyone can learn them.

When I was like 8 I wanted to be a professional scooter-er(?, scooterist?).

 

[Tom]

league of legends
swimming
taekwondo
yoga

 

[Praxis]

Eww sports.


I used to be a scuba diver when I lived in Holland/Italy, but don't have time now and don't live near the ocean and don't find lakes appealing. I loooove the ocean but never get the chance to swim...sad

I have a ton of hobbies I don't have time to partake in, lol. Always so busy.

Watching and learning, trying to find or make a crew so I can actually get good, but I'm mostly practicing on my own right now, such a noob.

Battled once, against another noob, pretty much only used toprock for obvious reasons.


Been doing it for a little less then a year, but I live in suberbia, since nobody else does it, getting a crew and practicing is tough, so if I can't get a crew together around here, gonna get hardcore into it when I move to the city.

I dance in general alot too, apart from bboying I've done hiphop/salsa/ballet/locking for only a lil while(though I pop and lock in the shower all the time XD)/i've danced in musicals... dunno what to call that. I've done a crapload of performance of all kinds.

Done a couple of hip-hop performances, done some tricking, done waltz, tango, I also know paso doble, never performed it though. As far as cultural dances, Lion Dancing, lumagen, and tinikling.

No ballet or musicals for me though lol.

TBH, never really found a use for backflips, parcour isn't about being flashy, it's about efficiency, don't get me wrong, I can do flashy stuff when necessary, but the reason I chose parcour over freerunning is because I was more interested in learning how to escape as quickly and as efficiently as possible when I needed to (similar to the reason why I'm obsessed with martial arts and know a lot about survival in adverse conditions).

Random but cool, president of the US for me at 8.

This.

I play the piano. I've played for about 14 years.
I also play the drums and the trombone, and currently learning cello.

Drawing holds a great deal of fascination for me as well, but I'm much better at music.
And skateboarding! I am so close to consistantly landing a kickflip!

I played tennis a whole bunch before high school, and then in high school made the decision to instead of playing sports getting involved in musicals and plays.

 

[KevinM]

Also Patriots not having a good year this year callin it.


Also Yedi why in the world haven't we hydra'd yet?

 

[M.K]

I was in one play in my entire life - In 8th Grade, I was Schroeder in "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown".

Ohhh, those were the days. Sure was fun, though. I slept over at a friend's house during the night that was between the 1st and 2nd showing, so my voice was DONE at the 2nd showing bahaha.

Theater people put on good potlucks too. Like, remarkably good.

Yea a crew is so ridiculously important. They just push and motivate you to get better. I feel your pain; When I went to college I lost my old crew and noone breaks around here so I pretty much just stopped bboying =/. I have no motivation without a crew. I miss it a ton tho, my crew was the ****. Literally all asian people except me.

Lol toprock only, i remember having my first battle. We all did the same toprock and alot 6step and baby freezes lol. Good times. I've battled sooooo much since then and have done alot of performances with the crew, its pretty fun. Some are actually on yutube lol

Done a couple of hip-hop performances, done some tricking, done waltz, tango, I also know paso doble, never performed it though. As far as cultural dances, Lion Dancing, lumagen, and tinikling.

Waltz and tango? Pretty sick, I wanna learn more ballroom dances. So many of these I've never heard before. About to youtube them XD

I've only taken a beginner ballet class just cuz I wanted to a wellrounded dancer. And yea i'm so gay for musicals. Theyre the ****.

Word. When I brought up backflips it was more in reference to the dancing as opposed to parkour. Not gonna lie tho, what appeals to me in parkour is all those sick tricks off of stuff XD.

I always thought of taking up some sort of martial art. Never really had a way to though.

What are potlucks?

But yea I was in a few musicals, its mad fun. Mostly cuz the cast end up being mad chill and become really close knit and stuff its cool. Lol good thing I never was worried about losing my voice, i never had any major roles cuz im a ****ty singer so they just always made me dance and ****

Also Yedi why in the world haven't we hydra'd yet?

homie

lets do it up!

you should be at the CT tourney btw

haha, a bunch of my friends tried to teach ourselves "parkour." it involved us just going to our college's gym and doing wall backflips. That's as far as we got, and as you say, backflips aren't parkour.

What are potlucks?

Dude....you're missing out.

Potluck is when everyone brings a different dish, which end up making this massive meal of great food.

 

[#HBC | FrozeηFlame]

Oh boy hobby discussion yippie.... XP

Non-smash related hobbies include mafia (obv), ice hockey, ultimate, soccer, card games (ones that can actually have competitive depth without the need for value to be gambled, though I do like to play a good game of poker from time to time), Guilty Gear/BlazBlue, Starcraft II (though being on a proxy here in Japan makes it virtually impossible to play for these next 3 months ;_; and WoW (on extended break though, quit at the end of August and won't return until Cataclysm). Well, those are my extrovert hobbies at least but most of my free time goes into those anyway.

Totally down with Praxis though with the ewww @ sports talk. Seriously I come to SWF and similar sites so I can avoid sports talk. Well, at least to avoid fandom sports talk. If I wanted to hear about what teams everyone likes and who they think is gonna be good this year I'd just walk outside and strike up a conversation with the nearest non-gamer guy I know and I'd be set for hours. Maybe discussion about the design and evolution of certain sports themselves I could dig, but **** general fandom dribble lol.

So yeah brofist @ Prax.....

wait whats this

The story of my Wednesday:

http://attackofthemonday.com/?p=236

Enjoy xD

It was at this point that I realized I had been defeated, and with a nod of respect for my esteemed opponent, I retreated.

The French would be proud.

And to think I thought you were cool. Not classy man. Dieinafireplox.

@ BSL: Another ultimate player up in this joint **** yesssss.

@ Metakirby: What the hell do you even have to do to get "Pokemon Master" + the pokeball thingy anyway"

@ Metakirby: What the hell do you even have to do to get "Pokemon Master" + the pokeball thingy anyway"

Pretty much contribute successfully to the Poke Center Forums/learn and compete in tournaments and the metagame, and take part in the discussions around the PC.

Also, I grant it to people who are able to beat me in a Pokemon battle.

Well, I already had dance expirience, so my toprock was legit cause I incorporated a lot of stuff from other dance, my downrocking though...


Yo, come to NY and help me start up a crew man, I wanna get good so bad.

Waltz and tango? Pretty sick, I wanna learn more ballroom dances. So many of these I've never heard before. About to youtube them XD

I've only taken a beginner ballet class just cuz I wanted to a wellrounded dancer. And yea i'm so gay for musicals. Theyre the ****.

The later ones are cultural dances, the earlier ones are ballroom, Tango's probably my favorite, especially when dancing with a special somone if you know what I mean.

Lol, gay for musicals, never expected that macman, I like some musicals myself, mostly older classic movies.

Never ballet though, mostly because martial arts pounded "never lock your knees" into my brain so much I don't think I could lol, it's cool to watch occasionally.

Word. When I brought up backflips it was more in reference to the dancing as opposed to parkour. Not gonna lie tho, what appeals to me in parkour is all those sick tricks off of stuff XD.

What you really wanna do is free-running then, it's awesome and fun, but I took it up as something practical so not my thing. It's more popular too so you should be able to find people to practice with.

I always thought of taking up some sort of martial art. Never really had a way to though.

Kali's my recommendation, immediately practical, insanely good with knife-fighting (whether you're unarmed against one, you're armed and your opponent isn't, or you both have knives) and since it's pretty much the only practical melee weapon to consider these days. Also, the background in spacing is amazing for application to any style.


If your school has a filipino club I'd start there, there might even be a group that trains at your school, that's how I got into it.


Beyond that, every school has martial artists, and if you live in a city, they're everywhere, just gotta look. Hole in the wall schools are usually better.


No excuses now macman, right?

What are potlucks?

Can't believe you never did a potluck, they're amazing, you're missing out.

But yea I was in a few musicals, its mad fun. Mostly cuz the cast end up being mad chill and become really close knit and stuff its cool. Lol good thing I never was worried about losing my voice, i never had any major roles cuz im a ****ty singer so they just always made me dance and ****

Lol, surprisingly, I have a good voice, though I've only done performances, never really done musicals. I've acted though, minor performances though, mostly as part of year end shows for groups I was already part of.

don't you play brawl?

lol

Picture the gayness of Brawl, but for 80 minutes.


It was love at first sight.



@Frozenflame: SC 2 name and character code, now.

 

[Ronike]

Ima movie guy, I love pretty much all non mmo, fps, or sports video games (so I'm kinda screwed now...), and I love traveling.

Unfortunately, I have no money, so my free time tends to be used working or replaying old gAmes. I do occasionally program utilities for fun, and I've partially coded a vote tallier a few times. If I ever get it finished and debugged, I'll be sure to put it up here.

I used to do tennis and tae Kwon do before time and flexibility on the latter prevented me from continuing.

And yeah, that's me in a nutshell
