Yes, I so did just try to post this in the Dojo updates.

I love them. Everyday. Regardless. I love all of the updates. YES. I REALLY DO. I love it when people are wrong, assuming this game will have shortcomings

:cough:longest Smash Bros. game development time:hack: longest time between two installments:wheeze:possibly last smash game:death:

pretty much getting themselves syked for disappointment... i can't begin to imagine the reasons why, and that's not the purpose just my disclaimer.
I was out of school last semester, and I'll be heading back at the end of the month, so with nothing to look forward to for most of summer, and no job as of mid december, i found myself bored waiting for smash updates.

I decided to use the time to catch up on reading... mostly manga, of course, watching a few anime series i missed out on, via wonderful torrents, and catching up on so many movies I SHOULD NOT HAVE!! {{Sorry axxo}} What do you guys do to pass the time?? this only pertains to those who wait up for the update, or happen to wake up from slumber at that time...((wait, what's the deal with Cali, they're like 3 hours ahead of NY--are they delayed or do they get it at 11pm?!))

on a completely unrelated side note, really mature Sakurai Hate Club. I think we should do that for every game-maker, hate them. Better yet, lets also support Jack Thompson* and vote for Hillary!!

And regalbuster, you are a posting beast!!

I go to school and play games. There's really no other way I make the time pass unless...I freeze myself but then again that's not such a smart idea.

I don't really wait for an update. I just check them when I remember that the Dojo was updated.

Was playing Halo 3 for a majority of the time before it was delayed the first time. Then I got bored of that. So I have been EV training on my Pokémon Diamond lately, which is time consuming. Also Playing Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3. I also start school soon and am joining a bowling league with my cousins to get some exercise.

Plus all the time I spend on smash boards/the internet...

I usually don't wait for the updates I just realize oops it's 11:30 already I should check the dojo


I'm playing Radiant Dawn these days.

I was just taking care of my baby nephew, but then he went to sleep. I was also watching The Pink Panther with Peter Sellers. Now I'm here.

Yep.

(Offtopic) Is Radiant Dawn any good? I was thinking of buying it but then decided not to because I haven't even beaten Galaxy yet and I haven't heard good things about it

I'm revisiting past GameCube games. I've been playing a ton of Melee (of course) but also I started Pikmin 2 again. I also have my 360 where I play halo 3 and just got Bioshock. Then hopefully No More Heroes is good so i can get that.

I:

Watch the occasional movie.
Watch the Colbert Report and the Daily Show.
Take my nightly dosage of drugs. [It's just Allegra people, no reason to find me a mediator. ;P]
Sit here in my rather comfortable black leather chair surfing Smashboards.
If nothing better to do, stare blankly into space.
Wonder what it would be like in the world of Kira and L.
Occasionally speak with my dog.
If I'm really tired, I ask my dog questions.
If I'm really exhausted, I may wait for him to respond.

And of course, check the clock every thirty seconds until 2:20am comes around.

Then, when I'm disappointed at Sakurai, I fall asleep in a bliss of sadness.
Then, I get a nightmare.
^^ Usually consisting of me playing Brawl.

Just guess how mad I am when I wake up, lol

I lock threads.


And although I know locking the thread now would be poetic, I wont lock it. For now :D

I started my new youtube Brawl "tribute."
http://www.youtube.com/piclemaniscool

It was more out of boredom than out of tribute.

I lost my webcam already so since brawl is back up I need it less. I always have a friend left to talk to brawl over aim with.

Time flys when you go insane from lack of brawl...

I only had dreams of 2 things in my entire life: wii and brawl. I got my wii for the holidays, I shall get brawl the second I see it in stores.

if tonight goes as planned, i'm gonna watch a couple of movies
The Wild and...
The Break Up?! WTF...

but more than likely i'll end up watching anime or reading manga, to make room for more anime or manga, as i have about 8Kbs free right now out of 101gb... i know, its a sad and vicious cycle

I know!![one] i'll start the pokemon manga... j/k j/p

Lucario is Win and the franchise with one announced character will have someone joining them tonight
-----------------
EDIT: oh wait, i start school in the morn
