My 21st birthday is coming up this Sunday. Coupled with Halloween and the Obama victory after-party, this is going to be a sick sick week for me.
I may not survive...
So, in the case that I die over the weekend, I would like to say a few words here. First of all, thanks Mom and Dad for being everything and more to me. I couldn't have asked for better parents. Know that if I tried to write how much I loved you both with a pen, it would surely run out of ink many times over before I finished. To the rest of my family, I share a similar sentiment. You have all helped me grow up to be the person who I am (was?). Without your continued love and support, there would be no way I could be in the position I am now...
...so I guess that kind of makes you all my murderers...
Pilsner has created an excellent advertising venture with this little flash game. It is simple, yet very addicting for obvious reasons:
The object is to get a high score, but it becomes harder and harder as the beers fall faster and the ladies lose their clothes.
Controls are fairly easy. You use either a mouse or touchpad to move your 6pack left and right.
There is only a tiny bit of strategy to the game. First of all, you should always go for the beer that is the lowest. Sometimes this can be a bit deceptive because they move at different speeds. Just make sure you anticipate them well.
Secondly, at certain milestones (every 2000 points) the game will pause, the ladies will shed an article of clothing, and the beer will fill up a bit. You can use this time to immediately move your 6 pack, perhaps to catch a bottle that you would otherwise miss. Just hold the mouse wherever you want to go during the pause.
The last bit of strategy to this game is all about the placement of your 6 pack. The idea is that you should always set yourself up for the next beer: If no beers are coming down, just position yourself towards the middle.
Once you hit 10000 points, they drop their tops. At 12000, you win the game and get the full peepshow.
Alright, thats about it. I will be taking suggestions for the next review. If you think you have a cool flash game, or if you have one that you just cant beat, leave the name here and I'll pick the best one!
So here's the deal. I've been wearing Sambas forever. They are comfortable, cheap, and relatively stylish. I want new shoes. I don't like Nike or Puma. I would like another Adidas shoe. I've been looking at shoes online. These are the ones I have found that I like and am considering trying to get.
They are all Adicolors. I have questions for you sneakerheads.
Are they limited? Are they hard to find? About how much would they cost? Should I give up and just find a white shoe that I can draw on myself?
Okay, I just found out today that Starcraft made it back into our school's LAN list after being bumped out by more popular games a couple years ago.
I would love to play and represent TL, but I am sorely out of shape due to not playing for a while now. I would like to get in some practice games before it starts on Sept. 27, but my old cracked out system that I used to get online with seems to not work anymore with the new patches.
I feel as if I would have a very good chance at taking #1 if I only could play a bit before and knock off some of this rust.
I know it's frowned upon, but does anyone have a way to where I could do this short of buying another CD? (I have less than no cash right now) I still have like 3 cd keys from previous purchases, so that won't be a problem.
oh, i also have posion ivy wtf fuck that, i just have a lttle bit, but man damn is it annoying wtf stupi d who invent PI? not me. thats for sure. makin my eye swell all thef uck up. forget that.
and now the shits spreading, wtf. i cant fuckin scratch cause i know it wil make it worse... so im just drinking until i cant feel it anymore lol
I was randomly listening to some music and a nice beat came on so I just started writing shit down as it came to me. This is mostly just so I have a safe copy somewhere.
Teleportation is my transportation. I'm leavin' the house with no destination, I get high like paper, get fly like planes. Rainacorns screamin' without showin' any shame...
Adventure game everybody gather 'round. Time always seems to keep slowin' down. I'm smashing the brothers Lincoln and Abe They tell me that Mars is where they stay...
You, you don't play, Hakusho. A poltergeist reports to know, My spirit blue finger is about to blow, Ending the death of Toguro...
Show up in the night and sleep all day, Three thirty in the morning is where I stay. Commander of time, traveling somewhere nice. I'm taking a ship to the palace of ice...
I'll freeze when I get there, but I don't care. I've worked all summer on the island of bears. It's on sound side of the dock I sit. Sippin on orange soda with vodka in it...
Sailor Jerry showed up too. Drank a whole fifth and passed out true. Committed to rage, I set the stage, For the Jagermeister to come out the cage...
It's not that strange that I don't remember that night, My jaw hurt bad like I'd been in a fight. But now it's time to curl up tight, I'm watching out the window and I see some light...
In case anyone is wondering, this is the beat that was playing -_- The rapper is Dizzee Rascal.
So I'm a marketing minor, and as a requirement we have to take this negotiation class. I love it because I can relate the strategy used in computer games (hello starcraft) to the strategy used in negotiation, as it is very similar.
Instead of assignments and homework, we get to 'negotiate' in separate teams something for our grades. Our most recent negotiation went like this:
You have a store. This store can either be open or closed each day. There is a store across the street that also has these options that you are competing with. If both stores are open, both teams lose 20k. If one store is open and the other is closed, the opened store gains 40k while the other loses 40k. If both stores are closed, both stores gain 20k.
This happens for 12 days. On the fourth day, the values are doubled. One the eighth day, the values are tripled. On the twelfth day, the values are quadrupled.
There are also eight other groups paired off doing the same thing. A full 20/20 grade is given to the team who comes out with the most money after twelve days. A 16/20 is given to all the teams in the middle. A 13/20 is given to the team in last place.
Negotiations do not take place for the first day, but do every other day afterwards if both teams agree.
How would you propose to make the most money and get a 20/20 grade? I will explain what my team did if people want. The game is still ongoing and we are on our seventh day right now, but the teacher is messing things up on us. He is now tripling the values every day and randomly deciding when we can negotiate or not.
What should we do? The team we are directly competing against are a bunch of pushovers with no strategical sense at all; I was able to convince them to close on the fourth day while we opened. They hate us now, but our double cross put them in last place. I'm thinking we can use it as bargaining point for us by threatening to tie with them every time (by staying open) and make them lose money.
