Rael's Rambles

I like doing this with really long posts cuz it's actually kind of funny try it sometime.

Here's a great thread that you should have read anyway that makes a good example

Heres how you have fun with TLPD:
1) Click the quote button
2) click the TLPD button it's directly to the right of the [S] spoiler button and looks like the Zerg icon. If you don't select anything it will apply it to the entire post.
3) Click preview and laugh at how random words pop up as players and rarely maps.


Well I was going to include the TLPDized version so you guys could see but the Haji writes too damn much and breaks the spoiler tag apparently lol

Yes you all probably know but I"m seriously pumped, Boxer is the reason why I kept playing Starcraft in High School, he fascinated me. The man was incredible and I wanted to be like him (the reason I play Terran)

To this day I still have the Boxer vs Yellow Superfight, Boxer vs Savior Superfight, and a couple various Boxer games from ACE matches.

Since most of these you probably can't find on the VOD tracker or they arent seeded here:

Nevake is amazing educate yourself on the man. Yes a lot of these are "Wtf this game is stupid why doesnt he counter that it's so easy" You have to remember the meta game was different and Boxer's plays at that time were amazing (Some of them old playstyles and all still are amazing)

I'm freaking pumped I watched both superfights and if it wasnt 3am I'd start in on the hall of fame again. That shall wait for tomorrow, I leave you this night with a silly picture because BOXER IS BACK BITCHES

These people just found out Boxer is back and they're pumped are you?

If anyone saw that ad on iCCup

Apparently some people think that ladder admins don't contribute a lot.

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=83161&currentpage=49#965

Now lets make something clear, ladder admins are THE HARDEST WORKING ADMINS on iCCup they have to sort through HUNDREDS of complaints every week sometimes upwards of 700 and never get any thanks for doing it. All they ever get are people posting on the complanit against an admin forum going "OMG ADMIN MADE BAD DECISION." And guess what they still do it because they want to help the community.

I don't care about you belittling me because I know that it's wrong but don't even think of belittling the ladder admins who work so hard for -you- and get no thanks. Thats just wrong man, wrong.

PS this isnt aimed completely at meathook but I"ve seen people who seem to think that being an admin is easy and that they do it just to get a cool tag. Those type of people are gone within a couple days every time because they don't do anything. The ones who remain work hard for YOU and never get any thanks.

Okay I'll avoid the confusion over if I'm being racist in this one. If I refer to my lecturer from this point forward as Russian it is only because she has a thick accent. She's a nice person even if a little dim but that has nothing to do with being Russian.

So our second midterm was on wednesday and as with the first one it conflicts with my History class, the Midterms are at a different time than the Lecture because they need to have 200+ students total taking it at the same time so they reschedule it later that day. I didn't know this and scheduled a History Class in that time frame and have to do make up midterms/finals this quarter.

Anyways so I go to her during class and remind her that I need to take a midterm and we schedule a time to take it. The math department has a policy against taking midterms early so that people can't tell their friends what's on the test. Long story short we scheduled it the next day (Thursday) at 12:30 because I was working earlier, our lecture is at 1:30.

This is where the fun begins when she tells me where to meet her for the test she tells me to come to her office at 12:30 on Thursday then writes down the room and building for me. MN 300

The problem is her office according to her syllabus and everything she's told me during the quarter is MA 330

I tried sending her an email but she didn't receive it in time so I ask my recitation teacher she ponders over it for a minute and asks "Is there even a building with the code MN?" then reccomends I just go to her Office in MA 330. The day of the test I'm still wondering where to go so I open up the huge map of campus (Ohio State) and look it over and considering the fact that she has the midterm scheduled right before our lecture I'm looking at the two building locations.

Her office is right next to our lecture hall so I'm thinking "Hmm okay that looks good wheres MN?" Then I find that MN is 10 streets down on the VERY south end of campus and determine okay she must have meant her office in MA. The day of the midterm I actually have to leave work early in order to make it to her office in time and I knock on the door and wait...

and wait...

and wait......






and wait.

I knock again... and nothing, so I figure okay she's late but the problem is this hallway is so narrow that I can literally shimmy up the walls by spreading my feet apart and jumping so I'm blocking most of the hallway by standing there. But if I miss this midterm my grade is fucked so I stay there for half an hour. Yes you heard that right half an hour and she never shows up. At this point I'm freaking out thinking "Did she honestly expect me to go halfway across campus take a 45 minute test and come back in time for lecture?" But I decide to wait and see if she shows up.

She never shows up and I go off to Lecture and wait her to show up so I can ask her. She comes into lecture five minutes late and when I ask her about the midterm she gives me the most blank look on her face and says "Oh, was that today? Sorry." And follows it with "Well can you come and take it tomorrow?"

So here I am in a computer lab after taking the test on campus because I work in an hour and a half and am annnoyed as hell because I had to come onto campus when I don't have class to take a test I should have taken yesterday. Feh I wanted to scream at her or yell or get angry or SOMETHING but I had to behave because I figure if she forgot about the test completely she probably hasnt written the makeup yet and if I yell at her she'll write a really hard one just to piss me off. So I basically had to stand there and pretend to be nice about it when I wanted to scream at her. It's piss annoying

Okay I said it I'm going to rickroll you here at the end but it's hilarious and the nerdiest rickroll I've ever seen. Okay fine I'll get it out of the way



Seriously watch it you'll lol

Anyways I'm sitting in a computer lab before work killing time and annoyed at McCain for conceding too early. Okay lets get this straight, I'm an independant. I voted for Obama yes I"m glad he conceded to avoid all the recount bullshit but it still annoys me when people concede before everyone's vote is counted.

When McCain conceded most of the battlground states were only at 30-50% precincts reporting which means many of them could have turned the other way. Okay yes avoid the recount thing but let people's vote get counted.

In 2004 I voted absentee and Kerry conceded before they started counting absentee ballots and it annoyed me. He basically said "your vote doesn't matter." By conceding before the votes are counted. Why not wait until the morning and give your concession? The newspapers will still report that Obama won even if you didn't concede last night. Everyone still gets to the same conclusion but you don't annoy half the west coast since chances are their vote didn't matter because of when you conceded.

Yes I realize most of you will ignore this second part and comment only on the video and the other half will flame me for my opinions in the second half, whatever I'm going to work.

I reserve the right to swear at the next person who asks me specifically what the banner in iCCup means either in IRC or on the server be warned. Note I didn't include responses here because honestly all you smartasses can bite me. Seriously don't ask.

They don't mix really

Okay so I went to class today and decided to have some fun and went in Costume since I was going to work in costume as well. And let me tell you walking across an extremely large campus like Ohio State at 8am in a costume with a large conspicuous headpiece with gold horns is reallllly funny.

People were staring, crossing the street to avoid me. I was trying my hardest to not laugh because it was so funny. Hung around in the rec center after that and got mixed reactions. Then one of the best parts, as the day progressed people were friendlier. It was almost like as the sun came higher in the sky people were more receptive of halloween costumes.

ITS HALLOWEEN PEOPLE okay if I dressed up in June I could understand the staring and avoidance. When I rode home on the bus people were chatting with me being friendly as opposed to the trip up where I had the only empty seat next to me. Work was fun too people smiled or laughed or said nice costume a lot. Seriously next year try wearing your costume to college if you're the right age it's pretty funny.

ps I was Tim the Enchanter I couldnt have the hand puppet at work though :[
