I don't mind homework terribly - as long as I know how to do it.

I can sit down and easily do two or three hours of calc if I put my mind to it... but if you give me anything that requires any sort of indepth reading/studying or problem solving, it'll be over my shoulder in ten minutes

Efrael wasn't in the mood to argue. He simply plopped down on the ground, stretching his legs as he worked on starting the fire that the weather tried to bar him from at every turn. "You confound me."

Max grit his teeth, shielding himself with one arm. With most of the machinery beneath the Dark Matter destroyed, he obviously wasn't the only one wondering what kept the behemoth ticking. While they had foughten the huge Dark knight near the end of their stay in the Mushroom Kingdom, this one seemed to be a bit larger, and the Darkness seemed much denser and resilient than before.

He looked up, noticing Max's Darkness, ironically, piercing out from the light on top of the dome above. He blinked, gears starting to turn as he turned to face the group again. He failed to notice his doppelganger make his leave yet again.

"Keep it busy... one of us has to get Wily out of there."

I think I'm truly starting to get into this game... the linkshell I'd been for a few weeks prior suddenly up and died because their leader quit and no one could be promoted. Everyone hurried to Bastok as fast as they could to start a new one, and after my chipping in of half the new shell price, and all the names they suggested were taken, they had to go with mine - Oathkeepers are we.

It's unbelievable how much more fun any online game is when you have a massive group of friendlies to share it with - certainly with something as dynamic as a linkshell.

Blitzen, taru, currently 40PLD/20WAR on Seraph.

I thought they were both kind of bleh... TMWTMG just felt forced along at the pace their songs go.

Looks like their FF8 slot is used up... no Maybe I'm a Lion this time...

Blitzen shoveled another spoonful of gruel into his mouth. "That was some dream."

Efrael did likewise. "So you say."

Morning had already come, and Efrael was happy that Blitzen had been knocked for so far a loop that it saved him a lot of explanation about the previous night's events. Though his helping was many times larger than the Taru's, they finished at the same time. He sincerely hoped he could get that blade out of his hands before it became any further attached to him. It would be bad enough if any bandits had to put him through that situation again, let alone having to tell him exactly what was going on.

He stood, seizing his huge backpack off the ground nearby. He nodded to Clive. "Let's move."

Clive was an issue. Efrael now had a witness to Blitzen's actions - would they arise again. Resolving things with him would be a little bit more a challenge.

I use WMP strictly for video viewing, which itself is rare for me. Been using Winamp for everything else since 2.8.

Why the hell do they have to completely butcher WMP's interface with every new release, though?

If I recall in WoW you can set your exp gain to two states, Rested and Normal - in Rested you gain double exp, but can only do so for a certain amount of time (hence casual play) before you take big hits to your gain, as opposed to if you left it on Normal.

Currently on 11, though I did try for the closed beta, so I'll certainly be looking into this.

I think Net's reaction is the same as mine.

Judging from the number of developers lining up I think everyone has good ideas as to what to use the touchscreen for - except for Nintendo, who will presumably spew out an endless stream of 64 remakes that will probably end up using the screen for nothing more than a WMP-ish visualization...

DS gets my vote, there's been so little said about the PSP that even its existance is jeopardized in my mind.

I did manage to beat the GB version a loooooooong time ago... doubt I could do it again in a pinch.

So the end of Turbo Tunnel on the NES is just ups and downs... just ups and downs while moving at Mach 5. I think I got to the end... once.

At precisely that moment a crate shattered over Siryx's head, drowning him in a pile of exotic fruit.

Troy: Drat.

A crane overhead pivoted back to its normal position, a red-shelled koopa manning its controls. Dozens of other cargo crates laid in an unorganized heap nearby.

Manager: *jumps for his megaphone* OUT OF YOUR PAY!

Troy: Noting their glee in doing as much damage to this place as I do in aligning like that, I don't think I'm being replaced by automations of any sort.

A small shelf in the control compartment slid open. Another Gim climbed out, scuttled around on the control panels, knocked over a mug of coffee, proceeded to crawl up one side of Troy and down the other before scaling down the crane tower.

Troy:

Wasting no more time Troy slung himself out the door, latching onto a ladder on the outside of the tower and sliding down, sparks in his wake.

Troy's head poked out of the ruins of the beforementioned heap of crates, hacking out a cloud of dust. Prying himself from the wreckage, he quickly jogged up alongside Kirby, continuing to dust himself off.

Troy: Now that any I'm not the one to blame for a mess around here, may I inquire exactly what the hell is going on, with that dude, and you, and the swarming robots, and the other dude, and... aw, I just need a clue...

Troy quickly regained his smartass composure.

Troy: You said you were looking for someone? Up where I am... I get a pretty good view of anyone who actually comes here through the main gates of their own will. If you need connections, I'm your guy.

Troy stood at the door, raising his arm weakly in protest.

Troy: 'scuse me... treasure? Here? As far as LEG-END goes in this happy little crow's nest, you'll find fifty feet down from where we're standing is a sewer that's probably better-kept than the streets of this dump. Lots of stories start in Rogueport but not many end there, and of all things...

Troy continued to pace and ramble in the background as more and more attention was drawn to the tattered pamphlet...

Troy continued to descend into the complex, still remaining one step behind Kirby.

Troy: I thought that clean-sewer comment was an exaggeration, but what can I say...

Spotting Kirby as he finished dealing with the goomba group, he ducked behind the nearest pillar, waiting for him to disappear into the pipe.

Troy: Okay, something is definately up with that old fart and that map... oddly enough... I think I'm going to have to keep an eye on these guys...

In the time that it took anyone to notice Troy he had already circled around the current chamber five times looking for further tunnels.

Troy: Damn, now where did he zoom off to... oh, yeah, hi and stuff. *waves weakly over his shoulder*
