We could start the next one together.
Although if this isn't anytime soon, I might be a bit tricky.
Probably still manageable though.

I'll post or something around when the next beginner's game starts.  We had one start recently, so it'll be a little while =/

Hmmm Mafia, I might be interested to give that game a go myself.


Anyway was reading that a certain Ms Bachmann suffers from Palin Syndrome with regards to history:
(I'm posting this here to annoy/amuse Red King)

Quote
"Earlier this year you said that the Founding Fathers who wrote the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence worked tirelessly to end slavery. Now with respect Congresswoman, that’s just not true. Many of them including Jefferson and Washington were actually slaveholders and slavery didn’t end until the Civil War," Stephanopoulos said.

But after reminding the host and the television audience that "we no longer have slavery" and  "that’s a good thing," Bachmann explained that John Quincy Adams, as a young boy, "tirelessly worked throughout his life to make sure that we did in fact one day eradicate slavery...."

Stephanopoulos cut the lawmaker off to correct her and give her a chance to back away from her misstatement.

"He wasn’t one of the Founding Fathers," Stephanopoulos said. "He was a president, he was a secretary of State, he was a member of Congress, you’re right he did work to end slavery decades later. But so you are standing by this comment that the Founding Fathers worked tirelessly to end slavery?"

And just like Palin's interesting take on Paul Revere, Bachmann stubbornly stuck to her guns.

"Well, John Quincy Adams most certainly was a part of the Revolutionary War era. He was a young boy but he was actively involved," Bachmann said.

Now, I'm a Computer Science Major and Punk Rock/Anime/RPG/Video Game nut who lives in Australia. How on Earth do I know more about US history than a US Presidential Candidate?

Quote
Tuesday the congresswoman also made an appearance on CNN's “American Morning,” where on one hand  she acknowledged that she is human and capable of misspeaking, but on the other hand she refused to say she goofed Monday when she said that beloved actor John Wayne, and not the infamous serial killer John Wayne Gacy, was from her hometown of Waterloo, Iowa.

Oh yeah that's funny! She apparently doesn't even know the history of her own hometown. Is she a crack-head or something?

Okay, done PMing for now.  If I missed you or you replied to something, never fear--I still have about 7 or so I'll reply to this evening.

Thanks for being bros, and I'm going to work hard to take care of myself and, you know, not have this happen again ._.  Damned embarrassing.

Want to watch My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic right now and find out why the internet loves it.
Don't want to watch My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic at the moment. Want to play Terraria.

Can't decide. Hate indecision.

The SC2 (Starcraft II) Terran AI on Insane Level has between 800 -3600 APM (Actions Per minute). Divide that by 60 and you get about 13 - 60 APS (Second)  I can't copy its build order, I can't belt out the stuff it can and you only get further behind as time goes on. Just wow....

I'm not even gonna focus on that, cause it just....  I seem to compare myself to it and guess who's coming up short?

My relative, the only relative that mattered, since most of them are haughty, is diagnosed of having Lupus.
