| Can't say that FFVIII was bashed more than Mystic Quest...I'll say that much right now...but that's another story altogether. And you forget one major point...the music in FFVIII probably had to be some of the best around in...ever really. And limit break-wise...if you were one that wanted to go more haywire on those than anything else in the game...they were relatively simple to obtain (Aura + Low-HP). So anything would probably be destroyed by a run from Squall's Lionheart, Rinoa's Shooting Star, and heck...throw Irvine's Quick Shot in there with maxed strength and speed and you'll be kicking some serious ass. The main mini-game in it, Triple Triad, I went nuts over...although I never really got to a point where I was so good that I could start using it to the advantage of maxing my stats (not counting GFs that you raise and junction magic to)...I only saw someone else do it. That said, I think what got most people was the use of the GF system...but if you figure on how you could max out your stats...it was about as similar to maxing out your stats in say FFVII (i.e. the grand number 255). I mean, it was my first game on the PSX period and my third FF game...didn't get around to playing 7 until I went through MQ and VI, and I had already looked through IV and V. But really...they can bash all they want...but like most FF games...you'll play them anyways. |

I guess I can figure on why she would encourage the sell yourself bit...but wow...what encouragment on what you can and can't be. Maybe she should've added 'you can't be Bill Clinton, Jerry Seinfeld' or someone else from the day and age to modernize it a bit (although I don't recall if Robert Frost is still alive or not). |
So, I don't get where she can get off on discouraging a pursuit of learning of this form, just because it's one of those things that most people that go through high school (and that actually take it seriously) strive to achieve/go to eventually. Now on a very limited defense on her behalf for the selling and maybe waiting for a bit to get into college, she might have something there. First off, a lot of kids that don't have a clue what they're doing when they're entering college (even if you have a major or not) can easily screw something within the first year, it's definitely not as easy as it looks. She might be worried that you aren't mature enough to do something like that or, what I'm thinking, is possibly she doesn't want you to grow up and be out on your own. Especially if this uni is a place nowhere near where you live (U of RI, I'm going to assume it is, somewhat) or a place where you can dorm at regardless (if you so choose to). The other point, the selling yourself part, is actually quite true, but should be in line WITH college, not against it. She does have the point that a lot of people the go through college and that might get the grade can more than likely tank when it comes to getting a job out of college for any profession, or interning really. A lot of people out of Bradley (in Peoria, IL) heading to CAT on an intern will get told about this, even if they're majoring in some of the best areas like Business and Computer Science/Engineering, and sometimes get in a position where, even though the have the knowledge, they definitely don't have the experience. That much is true if you don't have any interns or actual work experience behind your back before you decide to take a job out of college, however, if you go the smart route, you'd do both: college and keep your job experience up. I think what she's thinking could be around that, but she -definitely- shouldn't discourage the college trek. In fact, just to be on the 'pleasing her' aspect...she should really want BOTH out of you. That would be the smart thing really...and a lot of times they'll either want this for a career or you to go to college no matter what...but I don't think I've heard a lot of people wanting both at the same time...or at least anything I've come across. Maybe it's because they figure that if you go to college, you'll have the common sense to sell yourself...or if you get a career that eventually you'll be in a position to further yourself and your career by going to college...instead of just both at the same time. That's what I would assume you would want to go for overall, ideally. I can honestly say though, it's not always what you think it'll turn out as. I mean college can be a rather bitch at points, just dealing with everything in general. Considering I should've been at a point where I could've petitioned out for my Associate's at this point (last summer) and I was behind on credits (too many reasons to count) I'm now pulling my third year here...and probably won't be done until mid- or late-2005. That could be another thing she's worried about. That you might come across something similar to this on your way through and not know how to deal with it. You could always take my cousin John as an example of that. Considering he graduated at the top of his class at Peoria Manual (which is a hella big school) and then going through ICC (like me) only to eventually not do the work and fail out. Eventually, he went through military service for a few years, married, and only now he's getting back into the college aspect and he's a few years older than I am and I'm pretty sure I've got the edge on him in credits, even though I'm behind regardless. Point I'm trying to get across, I can, to a point, understand your mother's frustration if she's worried about you coming across a bunch of unknowns and that even if you succeed, having to worry about getting yourself a job with not a lot of job experience to go on. However, I'm not saying that she should discourage you from any pursuit you deem worthy, and college is clearly one of those items, especially with someone like yourself, that she shouldn't try to sway...especially if you're a kid that goes through and is hitting honors every quarter/semester only to graduating from HS with a well-off GPA and then have little or nothing to show for it...or be in a position where you worked so hard these past 13 years of your life to get to college only to be slapped in the face that you need to sell yourself first before you do anything...if anything really. I dunno...there needs to be something sorted out on that one. Obviously, if you don't have your parents backing on the college thing...unless you have a way to get scholarships/grants/student aid to anything (and some require parental consent/signature, FAFSA for one) you might not be able to pull college expenses, at least, not full-time. Personally, I wouldn't really know how to go about it regardless, because I'm in the boat right now trying to get THROUGH college...and there's really not a lot more I can tell you than that...only what I've been through personally. Bottom line: My guess is, if she wants you to really sell yourself, then college would definitely be a plus on that list, among other things...so I would enquire why she would discourage that.

Didn't take long to rip from Super Butoden 2...which is where it's from. |
But that's a Mr. Satan...some guy with a fro and something that resembles a WWE championship belt...or if you go GT, he's missing a large amount of his hair.

So I was right about it being grape. |
Yea I saw that when I went grocery shopping last weekend. Personally, I doubt they can beat Livewire...and this variant looked pretty nasty to me. Baja Blast...?

Oh yea...I forgot about the fact that you might want to go to Windows Update as well. I assumed your comp was up to date...but if it's getting that, as by what Erk linked, it probably isn't. |

What's happened? |
Well...we sold out your admin position for more board development (if I would've known about that I would've seen to it done faster), Colleen admitted to being a prostitute in his free time, along with Anya...and...not much else... Oh and various posts and threads and the like...you know the stuff that mostly makes this board...I didn't figure you'd be interested but...you know...I decided to throw that in there anyways.

If you wanted something around what you were blabbing about...it'd look something like this:
Something like that. If you quote my text...you would put everything before the 'Wow...text...omg' in your header, omit the text, and then put the remainder in your signature. So, header:
...and sig:
And that's being EXTREMELY basic. (edited by Ranko on 08-26-04 10:25 AM)

My bad in the reading...I thought she was trying to dissuade you from going to college, period. So basically she's putting pressure on you to go through college in a way you don't want to. |
Yea...like Ziff said...they really can't stop you from learning...and I did get the whole sell yourself thing from my father... ...before he went and cheated on my mother with her best friend after 22 years of marriage...little bit of hypocrisy there. My main concern right now period is just getting through it and picking up whatever I can in the few years I've got there...then it'll probably be the long and boring 9-5 jobs that keep me occupied until I retire or croak from a heart attack on an office floor from being overworked. I'm not in any rush.

Lacking the border width, coloring, padding, spacing, valign, and the only thing you changed over mine was font color to the td color...sure...it's revised. |

It's a table inside a table. |
Hence the spacing. The width/height I could've left out of the TD....and the bordercolor/bordercolordark ARE real tags.

For the PSX: Your best bet is ePSXe. Probably the best PSX emu out there...but...you have to get a few things such as plugins and BIOS files (SCPH-1001 I think is the only one they ask for) for it to run. |
You can also insert CDs that have the ISOs on them/trained. I've done that with Xenogears, +9 trainer added on. For the PS2: Well...like everyone else said...there's not a lot going strong...some run demos, some run stuff like Blade 2/Mortal Kombat 5 only, some don't run period. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
