That was awesome, but that link doesn't agree with my video card.

The new youtube links are weird.

better?

Much. In fact, I didn't even know there was an actual video to that(it was a green screen with subtitles before).

Wow. Just the most amazing thing in Spelunky. There was a giant spider, but I could not get the angle to throw a bomb into it’s web, but I really wanted to get past it cause I could just barely see a golden idol on the other side. So I ran under it’s web, thinking maybe I could escape it via running away quickly. But then I saw the only way into the golden idol room was the way I just took in, and soon the spider would kill me. So I scooped up the idol, then turned around and skidded under the giant spider as it jumped for me. The statue over the idol spewed out a giant rock which started rolling towards me. I dogged another spider jump, then watched as the rock that was chasing me squished the bug. Quite amazing. But then I knew I was done for, because there was no ledge close enough to jump onto before the rock squished me. But before I gave into a squishing, I jumped towards a ledge I knew I would not be able to reach… And I landed ON the giant rock. I rode that rock like a Canadian on a log in the river and then jumped to safety.

My friend let me use his minecraft account, so I don't have to pay. On the negative side: FUCKING CREEPER SNIPER BULLSHIT!

This bread tastes eggy.
I put some cheese on it and now it tastes like an omelette.

Civ V. Playing as a small empire with only two cities and a military consisting of six war elephants (I had only used four of them, however) I managed to repel an attack from a much larger empire without losing a single health point to any of my troops. Not one enemy made it past one tile of my territory. After the battle America surrendered immediately and unconditionally. The war didn't last any longer than ten turns. I'm confident that I can take anything England throws at me, and hopefully they'll stop asking for all of my luxuries and every coin in my treasury in exchange for peace soon.

Not to mention that I have over 2000 gold, while many empires have less than 500.

Whatever, sigged.

Ahhhh, I feel pretty nice.  It's good to take a day off and play video games before I get on the final push for finals funtime.

Venting really, really helped too.  I needed to write that stuff far more than I thought.

[Ochita]

Venting is always nice.

Well.. Most of the time anyway.

Reinstallations and everything is complete with my old mac, and I am rather disappointed, and laughing my butt off simultaneously.

Disappointed because I can't really update it all the way to the more modern specs either hard or software-wise (so the server thing is looking like a longshot), but I'm also laughing my butt off at just how short of a time frame overall it took to get outmoded to Apple standards (IE- Cheaper to buy a new computer). I mean, the family computer took 10 years to reach the point that Microsoft no longer updated 98SE, it took 6 years for my mac to reach it's limits, and it was taking it's sweet time; normally it probably would've been 3 years (according to Adobe releases; CS1 is it's limit). Funny enough, I can't install Firefox because 4.0 is not compatible with 10.4.11, and I doubt 3.6 would be compatible either.

I seriously am running out of ideas for this paperweight now. At least it was a fun project reviving it to see if it was possible. But what a shame. If possible, I might be able to find a way to upgrade the OS to 10.5, but no further than that because from the latest version onward is Intel territory, and my PowerPC can't go any further than that. Once again, I must yell "CURSE YOU APPLE!!!". Thank God my PC can continually, and easily, keep up with the times. I am a PC, and I am damn proud of it.

Oh, and CURSE YOU NAXZA!!!! I'll take the top again, just you wait.

EDIT:
Okay, seems I can update Java to a high enough version to run Minecraft. Server for that is a possibility. Other games, not as sure. Have yet to test Steam compatibility (for whatever reasons).

EDIT EDIT:
Really nerfed the graphics settings, and waited until the latest Java update was installed. Seems to be running much smoother now. Probably good for making a server of it now.

I also found a workaround to get at least the latest compatible version of Flash and etc. installed now. No news on Steam yet. Steam is Intel only. So no matter the OS, it won't work. At least Minecraft and DF are still playable.I'm not seeing much other usage from this thing from the looks of it, outside of the old crap I had on it last I left it. Again, nothing but praise for the PC, and how much they rock.

EDIT EDIT EDIT:
Well, it's been fun, but I think my old Mac is none more than an interactive hard drive. It's basically only good for the old crap I last had on it, and the latest 10.4 (Tiger) compatible crap, and that's my limit, until I can either afford to replace it with a new Mac, or invest in better equipment for a newer better PC that can run the latest versions as virtual machines without a hiccup. Which by then, what's even the point?

That sucks, but the fact I revived a dead machine still makes me feel victorious. Although it's out-moded nowadays (by a year I estimate), it's still breathing and able to run the old stuff like new again; so at least there's that. I think I'll shut it down now and save power.

What a day. Started work at 8:46AM, worked at Major Chain Store 1 for an hour, worked at Electronics Retail Giant 2 for 1 1/2 hours, drove 1/2 hour at 90mph to get to Electronics Retail Giant 2 for 5 hours (which was wall to wall insanity due to a special promotion involving a line of about 500 kids and Spongebob Squarepants) doing nothing but printing photos for people instead of selling stuff, drove for 1/2 hour to get to Major Chain Store 1, managed to get lost with a GPS and spent an extra 15 minutes on the road, worked my 1 hour at Major Chain Store 2, drove another 1/2 hour to get to Major Chain Store 3, worked an hour, drove 45 minutes home, and filled out 10 call reports. So exhausted.

I made SO MUCH MONEY today! ^_^

Curse you, MZ, and your PROFIT-inducing ways!

What made me happy?

BREAD MOTHERFUCKING PUDDING, THAT'S WHAT.

I swear, my sister can make great food.

[MaximumZero]

Curse you, MZ, and your PROFIT-inducing ways!

But...aside from punching sharks and exporting chest hair, it's really all I'm good at.

And also cooking, don't forget the cooking.

Remember the time when I asked you how random animals tasted like and then everyone started shouting?

[MaximumZero]

Too true. Too true.

[Acanthus117]

Let me find the quote...

Here it is!

I was just trying to talk about food. Then people started yelling. It was like the new Iron Chef, but in all caps, and there was no Alton Brown, and the secret ingredient was roadkill.

Good times, man, good times.

Another edit: Look what I found!
