- What do you think about Victoria's Secret?

- Favorite Band?

I think Victoria's Secret crap looks all right, but is probably vastly overpriced.

My favorite bands are Radiohead, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Old Bob Dylan, and Pat Metheny

What's your favorite smoothie?

Hmmmm... haven't had a smoothie in a while. I would say pineapple, but that's too sweet for me nowadays. I'd have to go with strawberry-banana-kiwi.

JIm Morrison.whadya think of him?

 

[Virgilijus]

I liked Jim Morrison, but think he is some what rightly overshadowed in the world of rock legends.

cool story bro

 

[Orboknown]

he was still effin brilliant.
how bout Elvis?

 

[Virgilijus]

Being raised in Memphis, I've heard my fair share of Elvis. I'm not a fan of cheesy, romantic songs (which I feel he eventually relegated himself to), but in his prime he was definitely something else.

 

[Frolossus]

:D

um lets see, how many hours do you spend on league a day vs swf?

 

[Virgilijus]

During a weekday, I typically log onto league some time after work (5-6ish) and play anywhere between 1 and 4 games, each around 30-40 minutes average. So between 30 and 160 minutes each day.

I can't physically log into SWF at work and, when I get home, don't browse around too often. I mainly check the Senate, deal with any admin issues that pop up, and browse the BRoom. While I have it on a tab in my browser, I probably only surf it about 30 minutes per weekday. Weekends would be much more.

What question would you actually like to be asked?

What is your best experience so far?

favorite section of SWF not mentioned in the above post?

I browse Melee Tourney vids quite a bit. Creative Minds and AE can be interesting as well.

What question would you actually like to be asked?

What is your best experience so far?

I actually wanted some one to ask me that but, in holding with that rational thought, my answer is precisely your question which doesn't help you at all

I enjoy philosophy quite a bit, so any good (I define good as 'currently pertinent' here) philosophical question would be one I'd look forward too.

Best experience in life? Oddly enough, it's when I came to peace with the fact life is short. All great experiences I've had with loved ones I will remember as long as I can, but realizing how insignificant and brief we are has, apparently paradoxically, made all of those moments more dense and important because they are what I chose to be most important. There is little objective reason for me to care about those things, but because I do, they exceed to the degree I wish. It takes the limits off of feeling, for me at least.

 

[Kason Birdman]

what are your plans for today?

 

[Virgilijus]

Going to play some LoL, practice some serves in tennis, watch the Tennessee v Florida game (Tennessee will lose ), and then start reading Underworld by Don DeLillo

 

[Takumaru]

Do you plan your meals for each day or just eat whatever sounds good at the moment?

 

[Orboknown]

what is the thing that you hate the least but do not like whatsoever?

 

[Dodongo]

Virg,









































Sup?

 

[Virgilijus]

Do you plan your meals for each day or just eat whatever sounds good at the moment?

During weekdays, I almost always have a bowl of cereal with raisins, bananas, and cinnamon for breakfast. Other than that, meals tend to vary (but not by too much, since I'm poor and not a picky eater)

what is the thing that you hate the least but do not like whatsoever?

Kind of an oddly phrased question...something I don't hate but don't like? I guess I'd say governmental structure; I understand why it must be there and wouldn't want it instantly removed, but I just don't like it. It's an innate inefficiency in the system; if you like the system, you've got to take it as well.

Virg,









































Sup?

Not much. Just got off from work; my windshield wipers were broken and I had to drive through the rain to the auto parts store and felt like I could have died at any moment.

I also had a long discussion/debate with the resident mathematician at work about the sum of a divergent series. In normal talk it would probably be boring as hell but it was really interesting to me.

I also came back from CA Thursday night. Still not a fan of CA.... well, at least SoCal.

What's up with you?

 

[StealthyGunnar]

Will you be my friend?

 

[Virgilijus]

Will you be my friend?

Sure, why not

 

[StealthyGunnar]

WOOO. I play LoL as well. Favorite/main character?

 

[Virgilijus]

My favorite/main is Tryndamere, without a doubt. I don't completely know why I like him so much, but I do. I think part of it may be his mobility, how he is relatively weak early and is melee, so he still has to be in the action, so he must be played smart to make a matter late game, where he is one of the hardest carries in the game.

I read up to page 5 and was like . . . "Pretty sure this wasn't asked by this point" so I'mma axe you a question -

Any plans for an AWYP? I would love to do something but I also want that paintbrush postbit

 

[Orboknown]

would you play WoW at all?

Yeah, we can do another AWYP soon. You want to enter this time, eh?

would you play WoW at all?

I would not. I've only played one MMORPG before and I don't like grinding and games that don't end (fighting games excluded). Add onto that the fact that it will try to suck out your soul and I'm more than happy investing my time elsewhere.

That and I don't like the lore. I am a huge LotR fan and the campy, cheesy characters and story are a turn off.

 

[Vinylic.]

Modern Warfare 3 or Battlefeild 3?

 

[Virgilijus]

I have played neither and don't intend on it any time soon. I'm not a huge fan of modern shooters, especially of the Modern Warfare/BF3 variety; they feel very monotonous and unoriginal. I played the first iterations with a friend of mine and, while fun at first, grew a little tiresome over time.

I like FPS's where health doesn't regenerate over time, letting you sit in the corner for a minute to erase your earlier mistakes. Also, the style of the game has to be smooth and attractive. For an example, the Timesplitters franchise was top notch; made by the former Goldeneye team (they turned into FreeRadical at that point), the controls were incredibly intuitive and smooth, the art style and humor were great, and the game was moderately difficult. I had more fun playing multiplayer on TS2 & 3 than any other FPS. Wish more FPS's decided to go that route.

The weirdest thing you've learned from this site?

The weirdest thing you've learned from this site?

That middle aged boys really like My Little Pony...

 

[Vinylic.]

I thought it would be that there are no girls on swf.
Why think it's weird?

 

[Virgilijus]

There are girls on SWF. The few we have in the BRoom are pretty cool.

I think it's weird because it's a show aimed at young children, revolving around young, feminine horses. I would be just as surprised if people here liked Dora the Explorer.

 

[Vinylic.]

But it's nothing related to dora.
If you can just at least watch an episode, It wouldn't be much of a concern.
Teens make fun of kids shows when they know it's only aimed for kids. Not for them.
But since the creator, Lauren Faust, PPG creator's wife, is making the show considerable for all ages, then why would people make such a big deal on a slightly educational cartoon as this?

 

[Virgilijus]

I never said it was a big deal. I enjoy children's shows; I watch Adventure Time and Regular Show and a few others. The content is aimed at both children and adults. However, with this the plot and characters are also aimed towards that target group; rainbow colored, female ponies are not the standard for our demographic. That is what I find weird; what is the appeal of that to boys and young men, unless it borders on furrydom? I don't know.

 

[Vinylic.]

Good Point. Most of them are aimed on R-rated furries, plot, and explict content in reference to mlp. I call them "pornies".

A "brony" is into the fan art, fanfics (G to PG-13 rated), furries (same rating) and any other entertainment such as remixes and creative videos (not youtube poop).

So that would be considered as odd as anything else.

 

[Pakman]

Virg, in an attempt to end my boredom and keep yours at bay: can you use this gif somewhere appropriate on swf today and link to it in this thread after you use it?

 

[Virgilijus]

 

[Pakman]

well played

 

[Vinylic.]

What's your newest comic strip, virg?

 

[Virgilijus]

Don't know. I had a few ideas a week ago, but forgot to write them down

When I was in college, I wrote an epic poem (I mean that literally; it was about 50 pages) about a reluctant frog hero named Benedict Pollywog. unfortunately, my laptop died shortly thereafter and I never recovered it. I want to rewrite it and draw it at some point in my life, I just don't know when

 

[john!]

what does your name mean?

I've theory crafted a few in my day. I think my favorite was a Delusional King who thought he was king of Runeterra. He joins the League to show the might of his crown despite the fact everyone ignores him. His name would also be Gan so he would be "Gan King", word play on 'ganking'

Melee DPS, not tanky, assassin, mana champ

Passive (Hubris): Enemy champions that have less AD than Gan deal reduced damage (autoattacks).

Q (Leap of Faith): Skill shot blink (animation is a jump). Hitting stuns all enemies in range. Missing stuns Gan for the duration.

W (Reciprocity): Gan very briefly flashes his armor; any enemy debuffs aimed at him during that time will instead debuff the attacker. Long cool down. Successful Reciprocity reduces cooldown.

E (King's Hammer/King's Sword): toggle between using a hammer or sword for melee attacks. Hammer deals greatly increased AD but reduced AS and MS (from base). Sword has reduced AD but increased AS, crit chance, and MS. Low cool down. No cost

R (Long Live the King): While activated, all damage dealt to Gan is instantly removed one second after being received. 6 second duration. Killing an enemy champ while activated adds time to duration.

OP, nerf plz
