Megaman II Lives

I cleaned the genesis out too...but I can't figure out if it works or not until I get an AV cable on Tuesday, the light does power on though and doesn't blink or anything indicating a fault.

So, with all this stuff, you could be writing a complete guide on how to properly clean your old equipment.

Project Rockenstein is a go. The guitar pieces from various makes and years have been bought and will be assembled around a black cigar box resembling a tiny casket. I want it to be a high-gain distortion monster.

My Father's Day phone call went really well. I showed him the ACEN photos and he approved of my cosplay. You guys helped me get through life last month, and I finally got him to understand: it's not the games that I treasure, it's the community of good sports.

it's not the games that I treasure, it's a community of good sports.

This. always.

Third'd.  I'm not sure I even actually play games with most of the brb.u'ers, anymore.  But that doesn't matter.  Everyone is super cool and that's what I'm here for.


So!  My own "made my day": It turns out that the dinky little house that my mother-in-law lives in isn't small because her lot is small.  It's a freaking huge lot, actually, I just never knew it because I couldn't see it all from her back porch.  They just never got around to building the house they wanted to.  Kat's the only child on that side of her family, anyway, so we hear "She's getting it all, anyway" quite often.  Basically, this means my wife and I may have a place to build on and we don't even have to purchase the land, first.  Her mom is just going to give it to us.

On the flip side, I feel guilty.  I never give anyone much of anything, but I receive so much.  Maybe I should do something about that.

I miss TF2 right before the scout update. That was the high point for me. Now it's either allow all weapons or completely vanilla.

What would fix this imo would be instead of releasing new weapons and hats, sit down and revise what is already out. With that said it's really a trading prominent game now but to me it still has the same feeling of gameplay and fun. Unless you count the once and a while "looking for such and such hat plz" in servers and trading servers it really is not super apparent how present the trading aspect is. I just wish they had a little bit less silly, I understand it's part of the charm of TF2 but I think they are taking it too far. Like a joke gone bad. When starting I remember the loading screen when connecting to servers and the type of unique stylistic and smooth feeling it brought. I don't know. I'm bad with words.

But hey, I spent a good two weeks in Michigan with my gf. It's been one of the best times of my life. I am sad I have to go tomorrow but I suppose the memories I have made here with her kind of overshadow the thought of having to go home without her.

Yeah, not like you would ragequit over a talking about weapon balance or anything...

BTW - did you ever get that backburner tattoo?

[A. Crow]

Rummy, your brain is pickling in it's own acidic juices. 

I obviously was raging over others ragequiting over the backburner. 

[rumbot]

Awww, you should be proud. This still remains one of the best flamewars (pun, the lowest form of humor, totally intended for Kor's benefit) in the history of BRBu.

5 year anniversary of that dustup coming up, chew on that.

Also, I must admit, even sometimes I want to +1 me when I dig back and find shit like this

posting in epic thread.

Then again, Faps are really +1s in real life.

holy hell, how was i not a part of that thread? i still hate pyros with that much vengeance shown of some people in that thread

then again i barely play tf2 anymore because its gotten really shitty gameplay-wise

[A. Crow]

I still think some of the racism threads have been more epic.

Was watching the "proof" video (TF2 - Somewhat outdated pyro glitch.) and noticed, beetlesmod 87b and it made me feel ill. That plugin was so badly written and had such poor support. Glad it faded into the background while SourceMod took over.

Hazues almighty, Rummy. I can't believe I actually started that shitshow. I seem to recall being quite heated at the time; The Backburner being the source of free kills due to poor coding of server/client positioning updates. I recall not even giving a fuck about reflect because no one was even close to mastering the timing.

Those memories man, even Caff posting that old kill board... I used to be good  b)

For the record though: Through that old posting, I see that your sense of humour has been honed over the years, despite the occasional and deliberate use of filthy puns.

Yeah, some of them read way too try-hard for my current sensibilities.

Though I still am a sucker to egg on a good cat-fight when I see one.

And getting recent feedback on the etsy store like this is icing on the cake

I sent this as a gift to my friend for her birthday to add to her extensive glaceon collection. She loves it and it is one of the most well made hats her and I have ever seen. She absolutely adores it and is even more excited now for winter tha she usually; it fits great too, I could not be any happier! It was quickly made despite the seller being in the middle of a move (talk about dedication to his customers!) and shipped in a timely manner too. I will definitely buy again. Well worth the cost. Best purchase I have made in such a long time! Thank You!
