The Blackangel

A long hot shower.

I usually wake up around 5:00. I go to the bathroom to actually go and wash my face. If I'm getting out that day I take a morning shower and put on my makeup. Otherwise I just take a nightly shower and don't bother with makeup. Then I let the dogs out, and fill up all of my pets' water and food. The bird, the rats, and the dogs. If I'm staying home, I go to my home office and start up the computer and the small TV so I can check my forums, watch YouTube, and play a video game all at the same time. I brew a pot of coffee and/or get a soda out of the minifridge that I have in my home office. I might work on one of my stories if the writing bug has bitten me. Otherwise I just sit on my fat ass in front of the computer until I burn out for the day.

Yes there is life out there. Whether we will ever encounter is is irrelevant. It is there. Anyone who says it's not is a narcissistic arrogant fool. When you realize that the Universe is infinite, and that there is an uncountable number of galaxies out there, with an uncountable number of solar systems and an uncountable number of planets, it is 100% impossible for there to NOT be life out there. The only life that we're publicly aware of, is the life that comes from this planet. yet our habitable zone could be the deadliest zone to other life forms. Some may require the furthest depths of Jupiter to survive. There may even be creatures near the core of Jupiter. We don't know, because as a species we have neither the technology nor the capabilities to reach that far. Others may require the conditions of Venus to survive. Their version of water may be sulfuric acid. A temperate day to them could be 900°. There may even be life that lives inside a star. We simply haven't met that life. Remember that scientists are discovering new life every day. It's almost always insects or new forms of bacteria. And when you consider that the Universe is infinite and compare the size of our planet, Earth doesn't even exist. Earth is a very small planet. But in the grand scheme of things, it's not even an electron on an electrons ass. We simply don't exist, nor does our planet in comparison. Especially when you consider planets like HD 81817 b, which is more than 27 times the size of Jupiter. Thus making it the largest exoplanet we have discovered to date. But it could be irrelevant as well. There could be a planet out there beyond our sight, that is bigger than our entire solar system. That would be interesting. And like I said, whether or not we ever encounter alien life is irrelevant. It is still out there.

They knew that if they stayed in the building they were going to die. So they decided to take their chances and jump. Either way it was one of the worst tragedies in American history. It's right up there with December 7th.

Taco Bell is only good if you're craving Mexican and aren't able to get the real thing for one reason or another. Or if you're in some kind of rush.

That sounds suspiciously like autocorrect.

I can point out a lot of women who would try to convince you that their clothes are high end retail, when they actually bought them at Walmart. And a fake Gucci or Prada bag is like telling black from white. They're so obvious it's pathetic. If you want a knockoff, clone, look alike or whatever, at least admit it. You would have more integrity, and a better chance of being respected. It's the same as breast implants. If you get them admit it. Hell I would like to get my tits done, but I don't need a Prada bag.

The bastard backed out at the last minute. He shook my hand and gave me his word. Then he backed out the next morning when we were supposed to make the transaction. He strung me along for 2 weeks, then backed out at the last minute. I was ready and waiting at the bank. And he texted me to say he was backing out. Needless to say, I was brokenhearted. So I'm trying to get a personal loan from another bank that is higher so I can find another one online, fly to it, and drive it home. I've found a couple that I like, but I have to wait to hear if I was approved for the loan. I should find out today sometime.

I'm inclined to agree. It looks like a lot of fun, and it's a breath of fresh air to not be a Zelda clone, as there are far too many of those.

Chill the fuck out. I wasn't calling you wrong or right. All I specifically said about a claymore was that it's a bigass sword. I referenced size between the Master Sword and a claymore, but I never went into such detail between the two.

The best way to learn is with someone who can teach. That said, the best place is either at your home or theirs. Wherever the both of you feel comfortable. A decent teacher wont gouge you for lesson payments, but you will have to pay a fair price. If you practice for just an hour or two daily between lessons, and apply yourself to it, you could learn to play rather well in just a matter of a few weeks. Practice more, and you could learn to tear that bass up.

To me it's not much different than a metal mohawk. But why would you want fake gold hanging from your head like that? There's no way all that is real. If it was, someone would scalp him for it within a week. He looked a lot better (and was actually kinda cute) before the gold hair and teeth. But I've always hated gold teeth anyway.

A politician dies. Instead of going straight to heaven or hell, a spirit appears to him. The spirit tells him that, rather than being judged for his sins, he gets to choose whether he goes to heaven or hell. The politician replies that of course he wants to go to heaven. The spirit tells him that before he chooses, he has to visit both places so each one will get a fair chance. First they visit heaven. It looks pretty nice. Big fluffy clouds, angels singing and playing harps, everyone seeming to enjoy themselves. The politician is pleased, if a bit underwhelmed. Hell, on the other hand, is magnificent. It’s the most beautiful place the politician has ever seen, and everyone there is having the time of their lives. It has a buffet table filled with delicious-smelling food, a beautiful garden, a pool with a water slide, a dance floor, a massage parlor, and innumerable other attractions. It makes heaven look dull and boring and comparison. “I can’t believe I’m saying this,” says the politician, “but I think I’d rather go to hell!” “Very well,” says the spirit. “Turn around.” When the politician turns around, though, hell appears to be completely different than it had been less than a minute ago. All of the attractions are gone, everything is on fire, and the people are screaming in agony. “I don’t understand!” cries the politician. “This isn’t what you showed me before!” “Well, that was the campaign,” replies the spirit. “Now you’ve voted.”

I wasn't talking about claymores being heavy and off balance. The heavy sword I was referring to was the replica of Cloud's sword. The off balance one is the Master Sword replica that I own. I only brought up claymores because the Master Sword that I have is almost as big as a claymore. It's a little over 4' (121.92 cm) so I just referenced it as they're almost the same length. The claymore is bigger, but the Master Sword right by me is a long damn sword. And it is ridiculously off balance.

I completely forgot that there are FF games on Game Boy. How many are there?

Vintage Stock here in town sells a lot of sword replicas from video games, that are full scale. They had an exact replica of Cloud's sword. I'm 6'4" and the damn thing is almost as tall as I am. Not to mention HEAVY AS HELL. I own a full scale Master Sword replica. The balance is way off, and at the length it's almost a damn claymore. You can ask @Shagger and @Crazycrab about those, or pretty much anyone with Scottish heritage. Those are some big ass swords. But with a sword that big I just can't help but be disgusted when a game character uses something that is completely impossible like that. Like I said in my earlier post: A little bit of realistic weaponry is going to make the game a lot more fun than someone whacking their enemy with the fucking space shuttle.

What the hell are those little black fuzzballs that follow you everywhere? Also I'm assuming it's not available on Switch?

Why not?

If it doesn't hinder the gameplay, I typically don't pay it no mind. But sometimes I look at and the bullshit factor diminishes the enjoyability of the game. For example Cloud's sword in FF7 is one that just annoys the hell out of me. Squall's lionheart gunblade is another one. These weapons are too big for them to be used the way the games have them using. A little bit of realistic weaponry is going to make the game a lot more fun that someone whacking their enemy with the fucking space shuttle.

Castlevania SOTN. I've been playing it a lot lately. Right now I'm mainly trying to collect every item in the game. It helps having the luck cheat, but it's not an instant item grab.

I wouldn't say that I'm addicted to any one specific game in particular, or even gaming for that matter. But since I have nothing but empty time, I play all day long, often just to fill that time. So any time you see me there is a video game running nearby.

The Legend Of Zelda on NES. There is no rival in my opinion.

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but i play the vast majority of my games with the sound off. These days the sound often distracts me and makes me play worse.
