I find this to be fascinating and so I've rewatched an old movie called Sphere the other day: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphere_%28film%29 A small summary of it would go something like this: I know there's tons of other stories and fiction out there about similar crises with limite...

Recently, I started picking up an interest in tvp. A while ago, I remembered posting a guide that was supposedly written by Nada. as the source's author dictated that he translated it from a korean site. The source no longer exists, but I am confident that the guide was at least writ...

By natural talent, I refer to an unusual display of accelerated learning in an individual. I have discussed my thoughts rather thoroughly before in a previous thread. Now, what I've preached before was that the ultimate end produc...

Are you the guy that sleeps when it's dawn, not dusk? Do you want to challenge yourself into maintaining a regular sleeping pattern again?

This game has become competitive to the point it can become a respectable profession in korea and as such, it's attracted many mindless pawns of progamer wannabe's. One thing I've noticed about the newer generations of Starcraft players ...

The map was fighting spirit, so I decided to open 2 gate against him. Unfortunately, it was cross positions so my decision was poor. Replay: http://repdepot.net/replay.php?id=35911 The protoss was 22-1 at the time, which I didn't know.

It seemed like I had improved, as my record against D rank players had improved from a 9-3 to a whopping 8-2! But then...the koreans came. Thus, starting from the yellow ranks, I met with a terrible fate as I stayed up late into the night and tuned ...

The holiday seasons are my favorite time of the year, as may be the case for many people. There's nothing like the sense of camaraderie you share with others as Christmas and New Years approaches, where people's spirits seem to perk up even if it's for a few weeks during a very special time during winter.

This may not be as rare for some of you since some professors may be more lenient than others.

Every one out of about six or seven players would respond favorably, so I'd say I found a fair amount of games.

During that time, I collected several samples of old pieces of money ranging from wheat pennies to mercury dimes, but the hobby soon died out since general specimens of currency before the 1950's rarely enter circulation in our modern economy.

Reposting this because Persona 3 is awesome and I just beat it. Any Megaten enthusiasts out there that played this game thoroughly?
