People who are glad not to know things, especially because it's "cool" not to know said thing, confuse me.

I'm not so much enticed by the coolness in ignorance of it as I am the uncoolness of knowing about it.

Come on, you know there's some lonely nerd out there that's still painting wooden figures like this is 1986

It's not hard at all to get them to find you attractive, really. Just maintain a bare level of hygiene and try not to hold too much weight and it's easy.

Pretty soon they'll be asking you, "My, you look lovely. Have you recently decreased in mass?" at which point you tell them to kindly return to getting off to pixel gradients and those horrible videogames you see in ads on programs like Skype and uTorrent where the only thing of interest is some busty 3D spline compilation asking you to "save her kingdom".

I honestly do not have a response to that...

I tried, I did.

I still need to know my modifiers. Is this Pathfinder or D&D? I mean, you said perception, but some people use that interchangeably with spot.

I really feel like responding how Frito Vendejo did when Not Sure said they had a mistrial, but that would be rude. Plus it sounds kind of idiotic, however it was the only halfway-clever response I could think of. Sorry :/

If only everyone would've seen that movie then you would all get it. )::::

And this, kids, is what we call splitting hairs. Any derisive comments in relation to coolness are so misguided.

"I might be uncool because I visit a Pokemon forum every day, but at least I'm not those figure-painting nerds hehhehhehe"

Whenever I watch stuff like this, I always have to wonder just what kinda narcotics the maker is taking, or if they just have some seriously ****ed up ADD that they have to deal with.

The hipster sounds will render Willpower for anyone in the area of effect to be zero. Inflicts every status ailment you can think of. And then the ones you haven't heard of, too.

This is the only post I've read since I logged on and I think it's the only post I need to read.

it does wonderful things for my Ego modifier to know that.

remarkably I have only actually witnessed one game of D&D and I haven't actually played it.

I'm a disgrace to basement dwelling internet folk everywhere. :(

Shining Raichu August 17th, 2014 1:58 AM

Yes you are, you also have a job.

£ August 17th, 2014 2:02 AM

just got slammed.

one day I'll have a midlife crisis, be unemployed and I'll do them all proud one day I PROMISE

Mark Kamill August 17th, 2014 2:03 AM

Only if you don't have a neckbeard. Its a necessity for basement dwelling in the winter.

Shining Raichu August 17th, 2014 2:08 AM

Or, lets face it, even in the Summer.

Mark Kamill August 17th, 2014 2:12 AM

Well yeah, if your in Canada or something! I keed, I keed.

Pepperton August 17th, 2014 9:50 AM

I've actually always wanted to visit Canada. o:

Alexander Nicholi August 17th, 2014 10:01 AM

I think Canada would be cool, and I'd definitely want to see Calgary and Vancouver since the airports there were where the characters in Brother Bear got their totems. Toronto would be cool too.

I think above anything though, if I could go to any one place in the world at present times, it'd be Amsterdam. Just sounds cool, plus my uncle went there when his mom died so he could get high. Also its a big city and the closer to humans I am the better I feel. :D

When I'm bored, I like to listen to theme songs from TV shows like Seinfeld and Law & Order: CI. I still hate that they got rid of Vincent D'Onofrio. His character's intimidating interrogation tactics were just awesome. :(
I swear, I think the Seinfeld theme would synthesize amazingly into a console like the SEGA Genesis or another 16-bit console.

Also, is it just me, or are certain segments of that first video sped up? o_O

Poki August 17th, 2014 11:13 AM

I wanna live in Canada, because their money looks cool.

Alexander Nicholi August 17th, 2014 11:22 AM

To be honest, I do think U.S. currency looks the nicest. The way they applied the colour idea to our currency looks a lot better than how other currencies have done it IMO. :p

Poki August 17th, 2014 11:27 AM

But theirs is waterproof, and smells like maple syrup. :D

TRIFORCE89 August 17th, 2014 6:55 PM

Woooo Canadian money! :D I much preferred our last round of paper bills to the new stuff though

Klippy August 17th, 2014 8:15 PM

I like the new $100 bill (in America). We need to do away with the penny and probably replace our dollars with coins, but overall our money isn't bad. I hate touching any kind of money though. So dirty. :'(

Speaking of which, my country just got a new Rp. 100.000 banknote today, as well, even though it's a bit similar to the previous banknote. I wish I can see it sooner. And I'm not sure about touching moneys too haha.

Nick August 17th, 2014 10:27 PM

Speaking of bills, I haven't seen any bills in a really long time. I use a credit/debit/check card unless I'm crossing a bridge which has a toll and doesn't accept credit card payments. I think traditional money is phasing out, and in a hundred years or two it'll probably all be digital. Dollar bills and change will be a thing in the history books.

Klippy August 17th, 2014 10:41 PM

I just had my credit card stolen and an attempt to use it was made in New York, so I had to cancel it and now I'm cardless. It's been nice not using it because I more responsibly handle my money seeing it dwindle away in my wallet, rather than just swiping a card and afterwards saying, "Oh crap. I'm out of money."
