  1. Got a new phone and my paycheck today, there's a gaming convention later tonight at my school, and I'm installing Goat Simulator because I preordered it. Also the temperature's above 30 for the first time in over a month. It's a good day.

      Sounds like a nice one!

      For me, it's one more week. Then the glorious one-week Spring Break is upon me.

    3. Unromantic XYTWO

      Unromantic XYTWO

      Spring break get! I'm sick, but I'm going to go ziplining and possibly see the Captain America midnight premier! I am currently at an acceptable level of happy

  2. New computer! Sorry I've been away for a while, my old laptop suddenly died on me. How's everyone been?

  3. Google just released a remote desktop app for tablets. Which means that now I can play Civ during class on my tablet. Rip in peace my GPA.

      what a time to be alive

      <Witty Name>

      Challenge your prof to a no-holds-barred MLG 360 bluntscope Civ 5 game.

    3. alexgndl

      alexgndl

      Actually though, I know of at least 2 of my professors that play Civ. It's kind of awesome.

  4. I keep telling myself that I'm going to stop procrastinating and then I realize that's literally never going to happen. Running on 5 hours of sleep, whoooo!

    1. <Witty Name>

      <Witty Name>

      Go sleep for eight hours and then get back to us. It'll do wonders for your work ethic, if my experience is anything to go by.

    2. FrozenFirebug

      FrozenFirebug

      no go sleep for 14 hours 8 is too little

    3. alexgndl

      alexgndl

      Yeah, that's what I ended up doing. Paper's due in 2 hours, I got about a page and a half left. I can do this.

  5. Today's the last Friday of classes, which means that the school throws a huge carnival and everybody gets trashed. I've had like...4 or 5 shots already and it's barely 1.

      Drinking isn't a contest

    2. FrozenFirebug

      everything is a contest

      Don't ruin your liver, please.

  6. So the paper that I thought was due tomorrow is actually due in 3 hours. Fuck.

      break both of your legs and then rip them off and beat down a wooden door with them for good luck

    3. alexgndl

      alexgndl

      Finished it, now I just have to do the 20-page one due tomorrow. No biggie.

  7. New Spiderman movie was surprisingly not all that bad. I quite enjoyed it.

    1. Idiot Cube

      Idiot Cube

      I didn't like how OsCorp is now responsible for every single thing that happens in the universe.

    2. alexgndl

      alexgndl

      Yeah, that was a bit dumb. But I think that's because the director said it's because he wants to get the Sinister Six together as soon as he possibly can. Oscorp's a convenient way to do that.

    3. Skye

      Funnily enough, Nostalgia Critic did an Old vs New between the Spiderman trilogy and Amazing Spiderman movies today. Raises some good points, liked the final verdict.

  8. This new trend of splitting a tv season into 2 parts (that's usually separated by a year or so) is really fucking annoying.

    1. Sir Slick

      Sir Slick

      yeah they did it with the blacklist which makes me unable to buy it on DVD until it's done

    2. alexgndl

      alexgndl

      It's absolutely ridiculous-it's one thing to have seasons be that far apart. But when there's over a year in between two episodes that are supposed to be in the same season, something's really wrong there.

    3. Simon

      Simon

      That ruined FlashForward. It had unbelievable potential and then BAM six month hiatus.

  9. Scumbag EA: Says they'll have something to show about Star Wars Battlefront at E3. Ends up showing 30 seconds of in-engine footage with the promise of more in spring 2015.

    1. Idiot Cube

      Idiot Cube

      Better luck next year, nerds.

    2. Jordax

      Jordax

      EA being scumbags. Tell us something we don't know yet.

    3. alexgndl

      alexgndl

      I was blinded by the promise of Star Wars...I was a fool to trust them.

  10. Found a weird string of numbers in the subtitles at 5.59 in the new TF2 vid: 0:06:00.113, 1193:02:47 .295 Go nuts, conspiracy people who're better at this stuff than I am.

      I give it a day before Facepunch figures it out.

      they had 3 days to live because of radioactivity

      half-life 3 confirmed

      It is literally just a youtube annotation timestamp. Nothing hidden.

  11. I really want a longboard...

      You'll crash and die if you get one.

      But it's got dinosaurs on it...

    3. alexgndl

      alexgndl

      Also I'm not complete shit at it, surprisingly.

  12. They dropped Grant, Tory and Kari from Mythbusters. wtf.

      A 1970 Corvette

      the show should end with the mythbusters testing out time travel, which ends with them mysteriously disappearing

      and then 1000 years in the future they resurface and bring science to the new world

  13. I've realized that I actually really like writing papers...oh god.

      Hey, do you wanna come hang out at my place? Forever?

  14. One of the perks of being a history major-it's completely normal to find your last name in 7th century Frankish court documents.

    1. <Witty Name>

      <Witty Name>

      I guess you're history

      h-heh

    2. Mersopolis

      Mersopolis

      My first name is a province in England.

    3. Jordax

      Jordax

      My last name is also the name of a president's wife.

  15. Got my tickets for Star Wars opening night.  Only took one try on Fandango, too.  I think I might be a Jedi.

    1. Idiot Cube

      Idiot Cube

      I'll just do what I always do and wait two weeks before I see it.

      I'm going to need you and the rest of the internet to do me a favor and not talk about it until then.

    2. alexgndl

      alexgndl

      lol, good luck with that...I hope you can make it.

    3. ICBMoose

      ICBMoose

      pretty sure there's no way in hell I'll be able to afford to see it so I'm gonna be that shitter who has to pick it up in a store after desperately avoiding spoilers for friggin forever

  16. Holy crap, the Top Gear Patagonia special was fucking intense.

    1. Skye

      Skye

      Yeah, shit was scary.

      I don't belive they had not noticed Clarcsons car number plates earlier/didn't choose them on purpose.

  17. So the trailer for Jessica Jones is insanely disturbing...I think it's going to be as good as Daredevil, if not better.

    1. ICBMoose

      ICBMoose

      Is that the one with the mind control dude?  I heard a friend rant about it.

    2. alexgndl

      alexgndl

      It is indeed.  He's played by David Tennant and is creepy as fuck.

    3. ICBMoose

      ICBMoose

      Watched the trailer.  It looks damn cool.

  18. Worm 2 lets goooooooooo

    1. Rynjin

      Rynjin

      Glory Girl protag unexpected, but not unwelcome. Her fate was one of the more disturbing in Worm so I'm glad she got better.

    2. Gyokuyoutama

      Gyokuyoutama

      Worms Armageddon was a better sequel.

    3. alexgndl

      alexgndl

      I'm actually pretty thrilled Victoria's the protagonist, she was a pretty decent character in Worm.  And it probably means that we're gonna see Tattletale in a very antagonistic role-I don't see any scenario where the two of them actually get along.

  19. Ugh. I can finally get out of bed, after like...3 days. In related news, I recently binge-watched pretty much all of Archer, and I rewatched Sherlock (including the new episode). Hooray for being horribly ill/sleep deprived!

    1. Idiot Cube

      Idiot Cube

      Well shit, I had no idea you were ill! Now I feel bad for thinking about yelling at you for not updating reign of winter :\

    2. alexgndl

      alexgndl

      Don't worry about it, seriously-at least a little bit of it was because I'm a serial procrastinator.

  20. French fries and frostys are the best dinner.

  21. Definitely going to go to the local farmers' market more often now that I know the local animal shelter brings puppies there...

    1. DualJay

      DualJay

      Mmm, home-grown all-natural puppies. Delicious.

    2. alexgndl

      alexgndl

      They were 6ish-week old Border Collie/Rottweiler mixes and holy fucking shit they were adorable.

  22. The Steam market fairy must've come during the night, because when I got up this morning I had sold everything that I had listed, and had exactly 15 bucks in my steam wallet. Awww yeah.

    1. FreshHalibut

      FreshHalibut

      Steam Fairy only made me five bucks. I still need like two more.

    2. 1Fort 2Fort

      1Fort 2Fort

      steam fair has made me around 30 bucks in the past week. tf2 fairy took 20 for taunts though.

  23. I've been standing for the past 9 hours...my feet are pain.

    1. Guy923

      Guy923

      I find standing for long periods of time to be absolutely insufferable

    2. alexgndl

      alexgndl

      Yesterday wasn't so bad. Today was just hell though. There's no chairs where I work, and you're on your feet all shift.

  24. Just really hit me for the first time that this is my last year in college (barring grad school because who the hell knows at this point). Feeling kinda sad about that. I don't wanna grow up.

    1. Guy923

      Guy923

      Get out there and get a job, hippie.

    2. A 1970 Corvette

      A 1970 Corvette

      I'm going into senior year and I'm feeling a little concerned that I'll have to grow up eventually as well

  25. I just want to be Spiderman.

    1. Guy923

      Guy923

      I just want to play video games. I'll trade you.

      Don't fall for it, he isn't actually Spiderman!
