DX n00bs are only any fun on Runescape and World of Warcraft.

I've just learned that a heat gun can do more than the purposes described on the box! It can be used as an iron and a slow-cooking device as well!

haha, Heat guns are killer. I found one at my old job once...slow day + heat gun = lots of melted objects, lol

where did you work... i would love to work there =D... XD

I refuse to play things like WoW, because I pre-emptively know that what little semblance of a life I've retained through the years will be snatched away from me, should I invest my time into such a thing

I feel the same way

Let's fight the evils of MMO's together Nikkiolie! Together we will abstain from losing all of our lives by doing... absolutely nothing!

You guys are all nuts. *Burp* My breath tastes like bacon.

oslapedo · « **Reply #254 on:** July 09, 2008, 06:44:02 pm »

Your just jealous that we haven't been sucked in yet

Also, bacon? I'm happiest when I burp after fruit consumption

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #255 on:** July 09, 2008, 06:51:52 pm »

I was only ever sucked into an MMO once, a long time ago. It was an ancient thing with terrible graphics by the name of Runescape. My little brother is the WoW tard.

And I technically had bacon for breakfast. Now I've had sushi so my breath tastes like caviar and soy sauce.

oslapedo · « **Reply #256 on:** July 09, 2008, 07:05:42 pm »

*cyber smells* Yum yum?

Asian food makes me throw up. It doesn't matter what it is, but I ALWAYS puke when I ingest Asian delicacies, and I usually don't throw up that much.

So you managed to escape the MMO horrors?! I'm so... proud of you! And I feel honored to have ever met you!

<- Joyful cyber tears!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #257 on:** July 09, 2008, 07:55:36 pm »

I feel sorry for you. Asian food is my favorite. I love sushi, I don't think I could ever give it up

NeonFoxRocks · « **Reply #258 on:** July 09, 2008, 08:02:40 pm »

i've weened myself off of addicting games. i play hellgate ever so often but i spend most of my time learning more japanese, looking up cos stuff/forums, biking, or working. plus i also have other things lined up, pick back up my guitar, set myself up to go to school and get a 3d studio max subscription, drawing practice, upgrade my compy... ahhh theres so much to do now that i have broken free of wow heh

I can understand dislike of delicacies in general some of the stuff is weird.... although i have had good calamari in cozumel

oslapedo · « **Reply #259 on:** July 09, 2008, 09:05:48 pm »

It's not that I dislike asian cuisine, rather I'm forced to stray from it since I don't really enjoy vomiting

I actually think asian food is really good as I'm eatin it, but not so much the other way around.

That's pretty tragic. Like many here, I don't think I could go without my sushi or other Asian dishes. T_T I shed a tear for you, heh.

This weekend I'm gonna sit my dad down and say he's not leaving the room until he pre-registers us. : D Probably not really, but yeah.

My work still hasn't found someone to cover for me on Saturday! $:-\$ I sure hope they get it figured out. this is the only vacation time I've asked for all year.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #268 on:** July 10, 2008, 02:34:09 pm »

I was talking to my parents as we were going to uwajimaya about how they have a festival and there you can register for kumoricon and as we pull into the parking lot there is a big festival and I registered that day. I just recently gotten my bag.

Neko_Chan · « **Reply #269 on:** July 10, 2008, 03:46:04 pm »

I have even bought my badge yet haha... I should probably get on that. I'm glad I have a room atleast though.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #270 on:** July 10, 2008, 05:52:07 pm »

The faster you register the faster you will get the badge (obviously) but if you wait too long you can run the risk of running into a problem and not having enough time to get it fixed before the con and you may have to wait in line x.x

That is what I was worried about (I tend to worry naturally) but now the only thing I have to worry about is losing my badge.....but if I don't lose my drivers license then I wont lose my badge ^_^

Neko_Chan · « **Reply #271 on:** July 10, 2008, 07:42:05 pm »

Lol yeah... Last year I ordered mine like the third day you could get them... and now I've just been putting it off more and more... ohwell.

It'll all be alright haha

nikkiolie · « **Reply #272 on:** July 10, 2008, 07:45:54 pm »

Also the price goes up but $35 for three days is a great deal no matter what. Its much better than $65 for Sakuracon x.x

Neko_Chan · « **Reply #273 on:** July 10, 2008, 07:48:53 pm »

I don't think I'll ever go to Sakuracon... I've heard so many horror stories and like... the price is just way too much for an anime con for a casual fan like myself lol

nikkiolie · « **Reply #274 on:** July 10, 2008, 07:52:02 pm »

Well you can get it for $35 if you register early, like at kcon. I really liked it. There was so much to look at and it was a lot of fun. Plus I went with a big group so the hotel was about $90 for 3 nights. My parents paid for the room and I paid for the rest.

It's a great con if you like large crowds. Kcon is so much more personal. But you cant beat 4 floors of con action XD. It was so big and there were so many people. I loved it. I just wanted to sit down and watch people walk by and look at the costume.

NeonFoxRocks · « **Reply #275 on:** July 10, 2008, 11:30:38 pm »

yeah i liked it even though i didnt meet people very much, at the very least it was a nice vacation.... even though i didnt get a hotel with a pool... next time... next time

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #276 on:** July 11, 2008, 03:33:16 am »

50 days till Kumoricon!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #277 on:** July 11, 2008, 08:04:10 am »

A hotel with a pool? We were never at the hotel long enough to go in the pool. And if I were going to go into anything it would be the hot tub to soak my aching feet XD. I loved it but I'm not sure which one I like more....

YAY 50 DAYS!

Syd-chan · « **Reply #278 on:** July 11, 2008, 08:17:30 am »

YAY! K-Con is officially next month! [ZOMFG! I HAVE SO MUCH TO DO]

Sugarlat · « **Reply #279 on:** July 11, 2008, 11:58:55 am »

Omg....I'm so nervous!
I'm trying to plan everything but nothings official so I donno what to do!
OMG IT'S SO CLOSE!!!1!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH [/freaks out]
Anyway....I got mine the last day for the $25 pre registration around Christmas i think.
I got mine super early. I got it during Tier 1 which was awesome since Tier 2 and 3 were a bit late because no one could get enough envelope stuffers.

Syd-chan · « **Reply #280 on:** July 11, 2008, 12:01:47 pm »

Wow. Tier 1. o-o What's your badge number? o-0

I was Tier 1 also, but it was pretty significantly delayed. I remember being the second person to register for 2008, but the badge number didn't reflect it at all, because of computing differences and what-not. So, yeah, numbers don't always reflect much, realistically.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #282 on:** July 11, 2008, 12:34:10 pm »

If you want to get badge number 1 they gave it out in an auction last year. (It was a VIP badge too)

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #283 on:** July 11, 2008, 02:30:33 pm »

What number is the Capture the Bucket winner's badge?

Sugarlat · « **Reply #284 on:** July 11, 2008, 03:03:57 pm »

I donno, i actually thought it was given out at random.
I think my badge number is 0260 -checks-\
Yep 0260, i flubbed and put my name on there twice T_T
I wish I had seen it on the sheet...

Lin · « **Reply #285 on:** July 11, 2008, 03:07:43 pm »

Oh man I loved capture the bucket!!! So fun to have the bucket while stuck in a line!

Hmmm am reminded to go send in for badge. Tried during the first tier but apparently something went wrong... $:-\$

makichan · « **Reply #286 on:** July 11, 2008, 03:10:52 pm »

I wasn't able to get a room in time but I'm not too worried about it. Since 1) I am near poor thanks to cosplay and 2) I live in Portland already... and not too far from the hotel.
Of course this means my friends are all crashing here too.

and quite a three day party it will be in studio 10M xD
luckily I already ordered my badge though.

Sugarlat · « **Reply #287 on:** July 11, 2008, 03:11:28 pm »

I heard that they couldn't print the badges momentarily during Tier 1.
There was a delay for all of them actually, but I'm glad I got my badge anyway.
I hear Tier 3 is just receiving theirs o.o

Sugarlat · « **Reply #288 on:** July 11, 2008, 03:14:24 pm »

I don't need a room but I'll be stashing my cosplays in Totemo_Oishii + Laurifer's hotel room hopefully if they let me for quick changes.
I'm getting a ride from my friend everyday back and forth because his parents are diving him anyway and he lives close to me
So it all works out!!

congratulation. I need to get money or my parents will give me the money

Black~Rose · « **Reply #291 on:** July 11, 2008, 07:07:33 pm »

My parents don't really hand over money much

nikkiolie · « **Reply #292 on:** July 11, 2008, 08:27:38 pm »

I have been doing a lot of work around the house. I have to power wash both our decks and paint them too so I think they will hand over some money. I have already power washed the driveway.

Neko_Chan · « **Reply #293 on:** July 11, 2008, 10:10:39 pm »

thats the only reason I like having a job... cash. haha.

but i hate the schedule because its like... ugh, they don't let you even negotiate days off its so dumb.

If anyone wants a temp job and knows how to host my work is hiring think like $12/hr not bad for standing around for 6 hours
