If it was most other countries I'd be inclined to call it a bad omen, but lol Canada.

All set up cables-wise in the new place now?

Yeah, but it's worth noting that we haven't seen any snow since the last one back in April. It's like it waited for me.

I just finished wiring the PC up like 5 minutes ago. I am now officially moved in. Now that the procrastination is out of the way, I must decide between preparing a meal or perusing the eating establishments of the new neighborhood. Pictures will follow eventually.

Freddy's Dead is actually so bad it's good. The one before (Dream Child?) is just so bad that it's... well... bad. :'D

I dunno, the fights between the Dream Child and Freddy were pretty cool. It was like the Matrix before the Matrix.

Also, New Nightmare. Still unsure how to feel about that one. On the one hand, a real return to form of the creepiness of the first. On the other, it's just so very, very cornball when you try to explain the plot.

Pfft, I got over those years ago. Taking my elbows off the table, however, still eludes me.

The trick is to always eat your meals at your desk.

Yeah, but macros are blasphemy. Blasphemy!

(I am not going to dispute this. A big reason why I liked the game so much when I was younger~ )

So is playing with a gamepad. If you're going to blaspheme, you might as well go all the way.

(Pretty much the sole reason I haven't played any SC games since 3. WHY YOU REMOVE THE BEST PARTS NAMCO?)

[Slacker Magician]

Things.

[Spose']

The quote out.

[Raype]

"Cara" is a pretty word for face, though~!

Unless we're using it in Japanese. Because eating crow rarely makes you smile from happiness, even in the sunshine.

And various other things.

They were going for almost triple before it shipped. The time I buy an extra copy is the time it won't jump in value and sell out .

Moral of the story: buy two copies. The game pays for itself!

[Sprung]

I have to work tomorrow
6 AM

[Elin]

GO TO SHINJUKU.
GO TO SHINJUKU.

I've been already. The people there make me feel ugly and inferior. :'D

[foggy_han]

Hee hee, Freddy used to scare me so badly when I was younger, too. :'D My mean older cousin showed us part of one of the films when I was about eight, and my older brother was... eleven? And both of us had nightmares for weeks.

My dad did that to me with the "Alien" series. But that was actually my fault, I mean,
I was very little then and he, in some nights, after (he thought) I was asleep, he would
watch the "8th passenger" or so, and I would sneak behind the couch and quietly stare. XD

But now I kind of like horror movies. :'D Maybe my cousin planted the seeds~

Oh... no, not me. I think my heart would literaly jump out of my chest if I watched some...

I was writing this and reminding my older (by 4 years) uncle made me watch with him "Event Horizon"
I was older, 13 or 14, maybe, but it was not less scary than when I was little... not a bit. :'D

Drat! A lot of the word genders are the same across romance languages, so I tend to just look to French to tell me what gender a word is ("un visage" in French, so it's masculine... ). But sometimes they're different, especially if they have different word roots like here. :'D I shouldn't be so lazy.

"Cara" is a pretty word for face, though~!

My dad speaks French almost like Portuguese. It is his second language, but I really know noting about it.
Well, not enough to start a conversation, but it seems to me French is not a good comparison in matter of
genders, because they seem to differ a lot, I mean, Spanish would be most reliable, I think.

(oh, it is the same in Spanish too: "Cara Mia" :3)

Not at all. Maybe I'll try and learn a little more once I'm done with like... lots of other languages that I'll probably never finish learning to any good level. If I ever talk to you in Portuguese, please be mean and correct my mistakes. You don't learn unless someone tells you you're wrong.

Mean, huh?

Spoiler warning:

But you have to "mean me back" too when needed, okay?

Just a note: My brother needs to do things here in a few moments. He has a work about Frois to complete
and to deliver next week, so I will try to conclude things in my next post... not likely, but will try. XD

"Where we're going, we won't need eyes to see"

And thus were the seeds planted for a brilliant Event Horizon/Back to the Future mashup.

[Elin]

Eh-he. You should join the fighters.

I believe fighting games are among the ones I know less, I mean, it would be usually other people
(okay, just my brother XD) that would say like "hey, I heard this one is fun. Wanna try?" and we
would play it then. ^^
But wow, from what I saw about your "combos" you sound like an opponent I would not like to face.
(unless you would go really easy on me. )

Oh, nuuu, I meant after I spoke to you about Portuguese I went and read about that. I don't really know anything about fighting games. I can kind of fake my way through them by blocking and countering, but people usually get wise to that eventually. Back when I played fighting games with Ray, the trend tended to be that I'd win when we were both starting out at the game, we'd be about 50/50 when we both knew a little about it, and he'd win as soon as he actually learned the game properly. :'D

Stupid fingers?!

... yeah, my right hand has a lot of trouble in that part where you have to play like 8 notes in a row
ascending and then descending, 4 times, right after the beginning. It is hard to switch from the middle finger
to the thumb, I mean, I got used to switch after the 4th note, ascending, and in the end the hand is just
tripping like crazy, switching the thumb with the index only. XD

I can play both hands alone already. I usually do not have much trouble memorizing, but it is being
really tough to coordinate all that. The song is just crazy, but I feel I need to learn that one. ^^

Yeah, that's a tricky part. I don't find the up and down very hard, but I always fudge the last one where it goes all the way up across several black keys. :'D It's a nice song to play though, as pretty much everyone knows the melody.

That reminds me of beach, and swimming, like, here in Portugal we use to say, before
entering the cold water, especially the older folks, say the best way to get used to
it is to dive immediately... like you and Cosmic did with flying.
(I disagree... XD)

Haha, I think I kind of live my life according to that. I started learning piano by just downloading sheet music and gradually puzzling it out. I learned Japanese by just playing games in Japanese until they started to make sense. I don't think I really know any other way to do things. :'D

[Gare]

I don't really know anything about fighting games.

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how hard you raped me in MBAC.

[Slacker Magician]

I have to work tomorrow
6 AM

Sucky way to start a weekend.

[King]

Fighting games?
MBAC?
Not Nemesis?
Videos available?

[Gare]

No videos. Only my anus, and the pain.

[Gare]

Then again, that was actually my first (and last) time playing that game, so it's understandable. And it was many, many moons ago. I mean, even Evans was there in our chatroom, so it must've been a very long time ago.

[foggy_han]

"Where we're going, we won't need eyes to see"

Nooo, don't bring it back, I know it is still inside here somewhere...

Spoiler warning:

That, and the man on fire...

Oh, nuuu, I meant after I spoke to you about Portuguese I went and read about that.

Oh... good old clueless me.
I do this a lot.

(also, makes more sense now. )

I don't really know anything about fighting games. I can kind of fake my way through them by blocking and countering, but people usually get wise to that eventually. Back when I played fighting games with Ray, the trend tended to be that I'd win when we were both starting out at the game, we'd be about 50/50 when we both knew a little about it, and he'd win as soon as he actually learned the game properly. :'D

I had to laugh a lot with this one. Funny, it was the other way around against my brother in Guilty Gear. He would win almost always,
and then I would "research" some characters and combos and made some tests, and then started to find out how to counter the
characters he used to use... and he would be pissed. XD
(not in smah brothers though... no no... )

Yeah, that's a tricky part. I don't find the up and down very hard, but I always fudge the last one where it goes all the way up across several black keys. :'D It's a nice song to play though, as pretty much everyone knows the melody.

I feel more pumped to train it more now.
Funny, I usually trip a lot more when it is many whites in a row than white and black... but that depends too.

(and "fudge" sounds really funny in the middle of that. XP)

Haha, I think I kind of live my life according to that. I started learning piano by just downloading sheet music and gradually puzzling it out. I learned Japanese by just playing games in Japanese until they started to make sense. I don't think I really know any other way to do things. :'D

Hmmm... maybe I expressed myself the wrong way... again.
I was thinking more like if you had to go to a country you knew nothing about on your own... like throwing yourself into the water at once. I mean, I usually
learn things like that too, trying to find my own ways and methods to progress. It is the most enjoyable way and seems to be effective to me too.

(okay, it was a bad example... :'D)

Just a note: My brother needs to do things here in a few moments. He has a work about Frois to complete
and to deliver next week, so I will try to conclude things in my next post... not likely, but will try. XD

It was fun, but now it is time to go.



(I will still wait for a reply though )
