It's the day the United States declared independence from Great Britain.

Henrik's pretty much right. I'm and American and I can tell you this

The Revolutionaries declared independence on July 4, 1776.

So the revolutionaries fought and won and lost but once they one Saratoga the French sent out armies to aid the revolutionaries. After a while the brits could'nt get fresh troops to the colonies because the ports were blockaded so they just decided to leave us to govern ourselves. That's about it.

you may want to listen to this:
Go to the escapist magazine.com, and search up Zero Punctuation. Listen to the review they have there.
(Contains swearing, BTW)

EDIT:
Sorry, I just realized that pasteing the link is a little TOO mature for PC.
OMG!!!
Zero Punctuation is AWESOME! YAHTZEE CROSHAW FTW!!!!

Oh, God! I LOVE ZERO PUNCTUATION. shdgjhg If it was possible to spawn the offspring of a video game review thing, I'd have Yahtzee's. XD;;; He talks faster than I do, which is quite a feat!~

Ah, Yahtzee's Zero Punctuation videos are really one of the best things to watch on The Escapist [and the whole internet, for that matter].

Yahtzee's Zero Punctuation.... blah. <_<;;
I personally like the games I play, so thus if someone just blindly bashes a game like Brawl, or TWEWY. Even if it's made out to be "funny" I still don't like it.

As for Brawl's Wi-Fi, it does have some lag sometimes, and sometimes it's really bad. But it's not as bad as most people make it out to be. And most of the time it's on their end (meaning they have a slow connection). I wish Nintendo made Brawl's online better (the match is only as fast as the slowest connection), and I hated their "The demand will die down soon" reply to laggy servers for the first week. But other then that, I can't complain about Brawl (other then a few bad characters), and I like it far better then Melee.

As for 4th of July.... I had this little chunk of beef known as "Filet mignon". So yea... that was good. XD

True, I also hate it when people just bash Brawl because of the Wifi.
Filet mignon huh, I never heard of it but it sounds pretty terrible, but most food that sound or look terrible are increbidly good, so I would actually love to try a piece.

You can find on The Escapist, Kura-puu-chan. It's a website, just look for it.

I guess this answers all of your questions.

I love the games I play too -- unless they're the result of a horrible fleeting desire to torture myself [...Channel]. @[email protected]; But it's funny as hell to see their shortcomings mocked the way Yahtzee does. I don't think anyone takes his videos TOO seriously; they're really more comic relief than fair reviews. Then again, this is the internet, so I'm probably wrong. And the TWEWY review wasn't all that bad, all things considered.

KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURA! Long time no see ;A; <33333333333333333333333333

YAY! Zero Punctuation! But yeah I think if he was nice to ANY game what so ever, he wouldn't be funny. Ooooh played Brawl today! And personly I thought the Wi fi was pretty good.

My Independence Day was pretty average, mostly just chilling with friend and family, but it was also my parent's 21st anniversary, so we celebrate that, as well. Still very low-key, but we had a cake, and they went out to dinner.

My friend's work had a much more extravagant event: Fireworks!

Indepence day = swimming in a pool, eating cream cheese squares, setting off sparklers and fireworks, seeing fireworks in the wind and rain with friends, and getting wet.

Every single year, it rains on July fourth. I don't know why, but I guess the sky doesn't want to hear the fireworks. D:

My 4th of July consisted of going over to someone else's barbecue.
It wasn't very fun...too hot to go to the beach though.

A Filet mignon is the very best steak you can get. It pretty much melts in your mouth.... Now I'm hungry again. XD

MEAT SUCKS, PERIOD.

I'm not a vegetarian; I just hate the taste of meat and eat it under protest occasionally. :x -shot-

I like meat but not many types, I just really hate the fat in it, like in Beef the fat is like everywhere and its horrible. I have the same sort of problem with fish because I always end up finding fish bones in my food. >.>
