MFGG and lessons learned (Post) Ah... good times, good times. I basically agree on most counts here, it's weird to think back to all of this over a 10 year period; how YOUR tenure as staffer goes back to a decade, specifically. It doesn't feel like it was that long ago, but here we are.

I find it doubly amusing that we're talking about all of this and nostalgia and not-so-nostalgia on some old internet community... on a different internet community.

Post your dreams (Post) Last night, I had an incredibly odd dream that involved a lot of things happening at once. It began at my cousin's house, where he was relaxing and watching the Disney Channel for some reason (something he would never do aside, I could tell it was Disney because I glanced at the TV and they were playing some sort of commercial for a new show about Hannah Montana, which I'm fairly certain stopped being relevant to their plans years ago, although maybe it was some sort of revival? Who knows!). Anyways, I went out into the hallway and I saw a giant, lego-esque mechanical wasp of some sort. Like, it looked like it was made from all sorts of various building toys but it was alive and in what I could only assume was "attack mode".

SO it chased me into the bathroom, which was now a luxurious balcony that lead outside via a screen-door (isn't that a wee bit of a bad idea for a bathroom of all things?) and a country side that I've never lived next to in my whole life. After deciding it was safe to come out again, things got a bit blurry but now I was at the front door, looking near our driveway and noticing where we usually parked the car nobody can use was several cars all carrying college students. Me being as suave as humanly possible (and maybe a subtle reminder from my subconscious about my own positive socializing happenings lately), I confidently walk up to them and start to mess with them all by pretending to be one of them for no particular reason.

For the most part, it seems to work. But then all of a sudden it started raining... while the sun was clearly out. That's not the weird part, the weird part was it was raining while the sun was out while there were *no clouds whatsoever*. I make note of this immediately and go back inside, where my little brother is in the living room watching not-TV (as in, he's in front of it, doing nothing else, but the TV isn't on). I ask him if he notices that it's raining without a cloud in the sky, and he confirms that he sees it too. As peculiar as it is, I had a much more worrisome problem at hand: the robotic lego wasp from earlier had spawned a group of REAL wasps, and they chased me into a spider web outside where I struggled for a bit until my brother helped me get out and could see again (because whenever you walk into a spider web in real life, it's always so nasty and bleh and it temporarily blinds you? I hate that). After that, I ran down to my house and sat on the porch swing. I looked up to the clear sky, no longer raining, and just briefly thought about how my life is a mess.

Most dreams tend to be very confusing and nonsensical, but I vividly remember that ending and how it felt to almost kind of redundantly think about my life in a fantasy that could have been anything. It's especially jarring since the rest of the dream was more or less typical dream-antics. I've had a lot on my plate as of the last month or two, so it might just be extra stress that seeped into my subconscious at such a random and inconsistent moment.

Hm.

The Admin Power Abuse Topic: Episode III (Post) Whatever you do, don't do another bad pun! O:

MFGGian Rhapsody (Post) Absolutely! Also, sorry for not posting the song you quoted in this thread (the song in question is "Death On Two Threads" for anyone who hadn't seen the MFGG thread). I'm running a bit behind with the songs, but I'm working on it, so don't mind me

MFGGian Rhapsody (Post) New song for everyone! I call it "Browsing On A Sunday Afternoon"

I actually do need some rather soon, if you're up for that

Nope! That was all me, I just overdubbed myself.

MFGGian Rhapsody (Post)
WARNING WARNING WARNING:


*There is no panning in this whatsoever
*There is no basic editing or cleaning up of the audio, save for overdubbing

*I didn't bother with a pop filter or a decent microphone; I have yet to acquire either, but I will soon-ish
*Most importantly, I made this for fun and didn't really do anything to improve or work with it whatsoever, so please don't take it at face value at all and listen to it for what it is: a silly little joke.


Enjoy. This is only the intro and ballad parts because I am lazy

Missplaced Ebay items (Post)

My only guess is that, being that the item is located in China, they got confused with the "3DS" keyword and simply associated it with the wrong eBay group or something.

Either that or Nintendo's newest 3DS campaign is going all out O_O

Whoa, you're telling me that the magical Swiss beauties are so powerful that when they control the weather with their magic asparagus, they control the internet for a moment as well?


That's just intense, brother!
