GRANTED, BUT NEITHER DO KEYBOARDS.

I wish I had a 40" LED TV.

Banned for being finished with school.

Mhmm. Come to I think of it, I do have a few talents (described by some as character flaws)

- I can positively and absolutely annoy the crap out of anyone. No exceptions. I don't care how rational or composed a person is, I can make he or she go absolutely apeshit and lunge at me with murderous intent, just a couple of minutes into a conversation, without resorting to any kind of explicitly annoying or incorrect behavior.

- I can make people laugh. Until they are in tears and gasping for air. Just by being goofy old me (I guess that's a good counterbalance to the fact that I can also annoy the crap out of them).

- I have a very wild sense of irony, but can keep a straight face while at the same time being completely and utterly ironic. People who know me personally usually pick up on it and get a kick out of it, but even they sometimes are at a loss whether I'm being serious or not (as probably the reader is right now). This girl a few years ago was so confused, I actually made a couple of little signs that said "Serious" and "Joking", and lifted them as we talked. She liked them so much, she ended up asking me to make a set for her (she was fired about six months later... I don't think it was related to the signs tough).

- People tend to trust me for some reason. It just takes a little interaction and they open up. I guess I'm the trustworthy type. Also, I seem to have a baby face, as it was pointed out to me in the RL Picture Thread. Guess that helps people lower their natural defenses. It can get very awkward for me.

- The latter seems to work very well with certain women: even if they were initially annoyed by me, they end up really liking me. I've had a few instances here at the office (and also back in college), which would have probably ended up in torrid affairs had I actively pursued them. The thing that strikes me the most is the fact that a majority of these women are married...

I think that's it. I don't have superhuman reflexes or the ability to fly (yet), but should any noteworthy developments arise, I'll be sure to post them here.

- Nice. I like a woman who can kick some ass... so what's on, anyway.

Sleep in a mess. Actually, getting my cleaning lady to clean the mess, then sleep.

Naquadah or Naquadria?

Congratulations

Granted, but the universe also ceases to exist.

I wish I knew what to wish for.

Banned for not being more supportive after learning that he received a creepy steam message.

Wondering whether people like Envimea and Raicuptra still lurk these forums.

Engaging stalker mode...

Well, if they are, they are not signing in.

Banned because I had to, Draconus was getting really old.

How do you guys manage all that hair? You know, the washing, drying and combing part? I have to get haircuts every 3 months or so, more than that and it gets really unmanageable (my hair grows quickly).

Banned for saying the word "hole"... hole... huhu huh uhuh...

Sorry, had a Beavis and Butthead moment there.

*Talking to the girl*

- Hey gorgeous. Can I buy you a drink? Have you seen my machine gun? They call it a "mini gun", but as you can see, it quite large... *winks*

Yeah, I really liked Episode 0, didn't see that one coming. I wonder what is Ross up to this time, and why the sad face.

I had a mind series in Quake 2 for a few months that was apart of my dark checkered past.

You also had another one, but we won't talk about that.

Ok, now I'm interested. What was it, a Leisure Suit Larry kind of deal?

I would like to discuss for a while the current state of the progress chart

As you can see:

- FM 38 is done and uploaded (and now we're back to playing the waiting game with out friends over at Machinima.com).

- Episode 39 has not been started yet.

- Civil Protection has a face

- Mystery Video has a face

It seems that Ross' flagship series, Civil Protection, is in a neutral state right now, obviously not because of lack of inspiration, but because of the numerous bugs in the source engine. Since I have not written a single line of code since I finished college, I can't be of much help in this area. I just downloaded the SDK and I'm beginning to play with it, but I'm a long way from being of any potential use. If ever.

The progress on the "Mystery Video" has me a bit puzzled though. Are we talking about the new series? Is is about this year's Halloween episode? The face is slightly sad, but I don't see tears, bruises or a rope around it's neck, so maybe it's not that bad, just a light discomfort.

That phone looks weird...

- Mhmm. I think I know why Psychotic Ninja keeps trying to eat Blightmare. We seem to have landed in the middle of a zombie outbreak... Oh, shit! Tank!

*Opens a windows and fires wildly with a minigun into the approaching horde.*

- Oh crap. Was that Snuggles?
