Anybody else getting this lately?

Basically, every time i compile i get this msg after, so i have to restart steam in order to play my map. sometimes it will happen the very first time starting up steam as well.

I'm tethering on android to go online lately, so i wonder if that has something to do with it. I'll have a real internet connection in a couple days, so i'll be able to see if my conx is causing this...

Today was exceptionally fun.

[Open in new window]

Done in just under 12 hrs, unlocked 27/33 achievements.

I had a weird dream last night. Or rather, the weird part was when I got up.

In the dream, my father and I took a bus and a train to Poland. Not much more than that. I tried to find good looking chicks in the train station but I couldn't see any :P

The weird part is when I woke up. On the dining room table there was this small paper with text in Polish that I had never seen before. I could barely make out what it said, something like a QA check from our oven - which is Polish made, but we've had it for years now and only now I saw that paper just sitting there unexplained. Must have fallen off it or something, but it still feels a bit strange that I had that dream last night and today I found that paper.

I just took a glance through my games library, and it kinda made me think. The fact I've already pumped 123 hours into Terraria suprised me, since I only got it about a month ago. I wanted to compare it to something else I consider my many hours well-wasted on. I looked at Mount & Blade, and saw it only had 131 hours on it. This was kinda odd to me, seeing as I've had it for at least 2 years now. Yet it has felt like I've played Mount & Blade so much more, and Terraria so much less.

I looked through several other games that I thought I'd pumped quite a lot of time into (games like Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers and Burnout Paradise), and found they only came out to 45 and 38 hours, respectively. I honestly thought I would've played Burnout more than MtG, but I guess not.

Plants VS Zombies holds a rather honourable 161 hours, and that's because it's damn fun. I wasn't really suprised by this number, especially when other people have played it occationally. Puzzle Quest holds a whopping 224 hours, but if it were solely my hours, it'd be closer to 10, maybe.

I was kinda shocked to find it'd put 215 hours into Left 4 Dead. I guess I did used to play it every afternoon after school with a friend at one point.

---

I also looked at the achievements, and it's safe to say how many achievements you have is completely unindicitive of how much you play a game. In L4D (215 h), I've only gotten 61 of the 73 achievements. meanwhile in Portal (10 h), I've gotten them all. I'd probably have all of Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter's (24 h) if most of them weren't solely Multiplayer ones. I still hold that achievement are far from an indication of skill in a particular game, unless you get all of them, in which case it remains unindicitive of skill, and becomes an indication of how much time you have to blow.

Sorry for the paragraphs, especially if you read them. I just wanted to empty my brain.

tl;dr - I play 2 much video games.

Though I'm now curious. What games have you guys gotten all (or most) of the achievements in? Do you care about/like them? Do you go out of your way to get them, and if so, how hard do you try to get them all? (Little Rocket Man, anyone? =P) Or do you just wish they were gone?
You get the gist.

Taught my first official lesson as a student teacher today.
The lesson was on completing the square, for an 8th grade algebra class.

I'm pretty sure they had no idea what I was trying to teach them. Live and learn.

Ninja Waffle: What
Dimbark: Hi friend.
Dimbark: Wanna play Dungeons and Dragons? :3
Ninja Waffle: Wha
Ninja Waffle: I think you have the wrong person buddy.
Dimbark: No I don't.
Dimbark: You don't remember me? We're playing ingame.
Dimbark: I was that guard. Yanno? I told your char about how mine took an arrow to the nee.
Dimbark: You're a good roleplayer.
Ninja Waffle: lol, I'm sure there's plenty of people who play Dungeons and Dragons, or whatever you're talking about, and I'm sure there are many people named Ninja Waffle, I don't recall you or that incident, sorry.
Dimbark: We're ingame right now!
Dimbark: Ho-shit.. ITS A DRAGON! LOOK!
Ninja Waffle: Oh right, my original assumption correct.
Dimbark: Ima get out mah bow.
Ninja Waffle: Trolls
Ninja Waffle: Trolls everywhere.
Dimbark: I'm just looking for somebody to play DnD with.
Ninja Waffle: I don't even know how to play Dungeons and Dragons
Ninja Waffle: And why me?
Dimbark: Anybody with the name Ninja Waffle should be an awesome person.
Ninja Waffle: I agree.
Dimbark: I can teach you the game.
Ninja Waffle: Uh sure.
Dimbark: First, X out of Skyrim.
Ninja Waffle: ffff
Ninja Waffle: Rite
Dimbark: It's cold as the wagon bounces on the rigged path, and the cold winds penetrate what little blanket you have. [What do you do? -- What does the story reveal?]
Ninja Waffle: Asses my surroundings, Where am I? Is there anyone in the wagon with me?
Dimbark: You look around. You see your zombie pal Tim driving you to Subway, and the outside is but a cold plain.
Ninja Waffle: Do I have any items with me?
Dimbark: That's up to you. I don't control your surroundings, necessarily.
Ninja Waffle: Well I guess, I'll ask Tim "Do you have any hunger for brains or want to eat me?"
Dimbark: You ask him that.
Dimbark: Tim: Naw, man. I'm over brains, it's so 'like' twenty seconds ago.
Dimbark: Tim has that little slur in his voice that helps you determine whether or not somebody is homosexual.
Ninja Waffle: "Tim, do you have any feelings for me?"
Dimbark: Tim: Naw, I'm into 'like' the dead type. You know how it is.
Ninja Waffle: Tim, look behind you.
Dimbark: Tim looks behind, his head twisting around like an owl.
Dimbark: Tim: What is it?
Ninja Waffle: At this point I push Tim out of the wagon.
Dimbark: You jump up and push him out.
Dimbark: Tim: WHYY???
Dimbark: His bones shatter as his soul flies up to the kingdom of Heaven.
Ninja Waffle: Because, you're a zombie Tim, I can't trust you.
Dimbark: The wagon halts.
Dimbark: The horse seems surprised by something.
Ninja Waffle: I pick up a bone from Tim's corpse, and look towards the direction of the horse.
Dimbark: And? What else? I'm not a storyteller, I am a guide.
Dimbark: What will you do? What will happen?
Ninja Waffle: I hit the horse with Tim's arm as to force him to continue on his path.
Ninja Waffle: Hm.
Dimbark: The wagon breaks as the horse falls over crying. Behind it you see what scared it--BILL COSBY!
Dimbark: He's all boobity and boppity.
Ninja Waffle: "Bill Cosby!" "Can I have your autograph, I really liked you in that one show with the people and the funny"
Dimbark: Bill Cosby shatters like glass. Huh.
Ninja Waffle: NO, this can only be the work of....The Cartographer...
Dimbark: The cartographer appears before you. "Yes, yes. It was me. I knew it would take a while for you to understand... bwahahahaha!"
Dimbark: "But it's too late! I've already unleashed my evil plan!"
Ninja Waffle: "No, It wont work, I have already told all the local mapmakers of your evil plan, and they have set up a monopaly in the area, you wont be able to sell any of your evil over-expensive maps, you will fail!"
Dimbark: "What? I just set up nuclear bombs."
Dimbark: He pulls out a small control panel.
Dimbark: "Come closer to me, and I'll blow up this entire planet!"
Dimbark: "Get away from me, and... Be happy."
Ninja Waffle: "Well, I'm going to tell you not to worry. Because I am happy"
Dimbark: He presses the button down. Nothing happens.
Dimbark: He slams it hard.
Dimbark: "It's not working..."
Ninja Waffle: "You see, that's because I wrote a song, if you bothered to read note for note, you would see that it involves me disabling every single nuclear bomb."
Dimbark: He pulls a piece of paper from the box.
Dimbark: "Oh yes..."
Dimbark: "Never gonna let us die -- Never gonna leave nukes behiiind... Never gonna tell a lie... Desert life!"
Ninja Waffle: "You forgot the chorus," "Ahhhh ya ya yaaaah ya ya yaaah yaaaah ya yah"
Ninja Waffle: "Ohoohoooooo! Oh ya yaaah, ya ya yaaah, yaaaah, ya yah"
Ninja Waffle: "Tremble before the might of the power of the Troll Anthem"
Dimbark: He pulls out a small knife and tosses it at a nearby rabbit. It strikes its rain.
Ninja Waffle: "Ah, you've just made a huge mistake, for you see, that rabbit contained a special amino acid that contained within it the cure, the cure for the poison that I lined that piece of paper with."
Dimbark: "I cannot be poisoned...'
Dimbark: He pulls out another knife and throws it at the crying horse in the debris of the wagon.
Dimbark: It hits its stomach and flies down its gut, forming a small hole revealing delicious meat.
Dimbark: "Dig in."
Dimbark: He disappears.
Ninja Waffle: "Well.." I walk down to the wagon, and break off a few pieces of wood to make a campfire, I then take the delicious meat and throw it into the campfire, while wearing the dead rabbit on my head"
Dimbark: The rabbit isn't dead.
Dimbark: It had a small jar in which its rain was.
Dimbark: The knife hit its rain.
Dimbark: Dimbark: He pulls out a small knife and tosses it at a nearby rabbit. It strikes its rain.
Dimbark: You wear the live rabbit on your head. It poos.
Ninja Waffle: I throw the rabbit into the fire in anger, and then prepare to walk through the cold land to possibly find a stream
Dimbark: You come across a stream of lava, in with the cartographer stands on a small island.
Dimbark: "Hi. My name's Greg."
Dimbark: "Help me, I'm stuck."
Ninja Waffle: "Why should I help you? You're The Cartographer, not Greg, I recognize you from a few minutes ago...you killed my horse"
Dimbark: "Your horse was sad. I had to put it down. And just because I'm a Cartographer, I can't have an ACTUAL name?
Ninja Waffle: "Well...everyone just knows you as The Cartographer, it's much more sinister than, "Greg" "
Dimbark: "Call me the Gregster."
Ninja Waffle: "That's even worse, Give me a good reason to help you Cartographer Greg"
Dimbark: I'll give you this.
Dimbark: Greg pulls out a small scrotum.
Ninja Waffle: "Why....would I want that..."
Dimbark: "Oh, I use this as a pouch. There's some gold in it."
Ninja Waffle: "OH...well that changes everything, hold on while I go get something" I walk back to camp and take part the Delicious Meat from the horse in order to use its large intestine as a rope. I then continue back towards the small island.
Dimbark: You go back. Greg is gone.
Ninja Waffle: (sorry had to do something)
Ninja Waffle: "Well, that was a waste of time, I'm never helping that guy again." I walk back towards my camp for a good nights rest"
Dimbark: You walk back. The horse is gone, its body replaced with a small note.
Ninja Waffle: I pick up the note and begin reading it.
Dimbark: [Hehe, I stole your horse.
Dimbark: -The Gregster]
Ninja Waffle: "Well...no shit" I throw the note into the fire and lay down next to it while I contemplate about ways to kill Greg, I then fall asleep
Dimbark: ZZZZzzzz....
Dimbark: You wake up. The horse is back with another note.
Ninja Waffle: "OH GREEEAT, What now?" I pick up the note and begin reading it."
Dimbark: [I felt bad, so I returned your horse.
Dimbark: -The Gregster]
Ninja Waffle: "Well, The horse is pretty much RUINED now since it's been out so long, I don't want it anymore, Screw you Greg!"
Dimbark: - Awww.. that sucks. -
Ninja Waffle: "Wait...WHERE ARE YOU?"
Dimbark: - I'm far away. But I can talk to your heart... I'm a cartographer. I see everything. -
Ninja Waffle: "That....that doesn't make any sense...how about you come over here so we can sign a 'peace' treaty."
Dimbark: - No. I must lay waste to Ponyville. BRB -
Ninja Waffle: "Go ahead If I care, I don't care for ponies, as long as Pinky Pie isn't harmed"
Dimbark: - Pfft. Yeah right. -
Ninja Waffle: "What, are you accusing me of being a BRONY?"
Dimbark: - No. I'm just gonna START with Pinkie Pie now. Cya. -
Dimbark: You hear the sound of a phone slamming down on a reciever.
Ninja Waffle: "Aha I tricked you, I hate Pinkie Pie the most, You're just doing what I wanted to do, For me!" I yell out into the wilderness
Dimbark: Pinkie Pie rises from a hole in the ground,
Dimbark: Pinkie Pie: What's that supposed to mean!?
Ninja Waffle: "Oh..Pinkie Pie, you see I was using reverse REVERSE Psychology, in order to get him not to kill you, you are the best pony and always will be."
Dimbark: Pinkie Pie cries for some odd reason. Suddenly, the Gregster appears behind her.
Dimbark: Gregster: Hmm.
Ninja Waffle: "GREG, WAIT- *I pick up the remains of Tim's corpse to use as a weapon*
Dimbark: Tim's corpse is gone. Turned into a tree.
Dimbark: Gregster: Die, Pinkie!
Ninja Waffle: "How...the hell did-
Dimbark: Gregster sets fire to her body. She cries and dies!
Ninja Waffle: "YOU'VE GONE TOO FAR GREG" -I start beating him with my fists which are covered in horse intestine
Dimbark: You go up to beat him, but his body disappears.
Dimbark: - Answer this question: who is your favorite celebrity? -
Ninja Waffle: Eduard Khil
Dimbark: - Good. I will put you with him, because I felt I should be generous. -
Dimbark: He appears next to you.
Dimbark: Eduard: Hai/
Ninja Waffle: "Privyet Eduard, Come with me, we must find Greg, For the Union!"
Dimbark: Eduard: Kay.
Dimbark: Eduard: I will pray in the forest, to beat the Gregster myself!
Dimbark: Eduard runs into the forest.
Ninja Waffle: "I shall not worry, for Eduard is the king of the trolls, there is no possible way that Greg can defeat him!" *I begin running after him*
Dimbark: You run after him. You see a bunch of stones coming out of an odd lake that lead up to a large one where Eduard is on his knees.
Ninja Waffle: I begin climbing up the stones while calling out Eduard's name. In haste, I trip and fall backwards knocking myself out
Dimbark: You wake up later on the end of the stones. Same circumstances. Odd.
Ninja Waffle: I start climbing the rocks slowly this time, I walk up to Eduard and put my hand on his back while I ask him "Are you okay"
Dimbark: You go up to him. From the sky falls down Sephiroth, as he strikes Eduard in the heart.
Dimbark: Sephiroth: Hehehehe!
Ninja Waffle: "Oh...Sephiroth...are you the Sephiroth from Final Fantasy if you are? I'd like to have a Few words with you for one the series was ruined when you came out with the Twelth one it was already getti- *I continue rambiling on about Final Fantasy while I pay absolutely no attention to Eduard*
Dimbark: Sephiroth: You are foolish! Eduard is dead, and you care not!
Dimbark: Sephiroth: Eh, you don't have emotions anyways./
Ninja Waffle: "Well there's nothing I can do about him being dead, I mean why waste the time to feel sad when we can talk about more pressing issues such as the latest episode of the series which was okay but could use alot of- *I continue rambling again*
Dimbark: Sephiroth: Eh, I'm going back to the lifestream.
Dimbark: Sephiroth flies back into the air.
Ninja Waffle: I begin scavenging Eduard for any possible clues to the whereabouts of The Gregster
Dimbark: You find his wallet, with $40.
Ninja Waffle: "Well this could be useful" *I begin walking in the general direction of Subway
Dimbark: You go to Subway. The door is closed.
Ninja Waffle: I start knocking on the door while tellin them my order "I would like ONE Big Hot Pastarmi, no onions or green peppers, extra olives however, also could you make that toasted?"
Dimbark: You knock on it. The door falls in.
Dimbark: (Want background musics?)
Dimbark: The door falls in....
Ninja Waffle: I slowly begin walking to the counter...
Dimbark: You slowly walk to the counter. An odd cloaked man is there?
Dimbark: Man: What.... SssssSSSsss... can I get you?
Ninja Waffle: "Well I'd like one Big host pastra- Wait...Why are you SSSSSINg...take off your cloak!"
Dimbark: He takes off his cloak. A naked man stands before you.
Dimbark: Man: I have a liSSSssSSSp.
Ninja Waffle: "You have a What? I can't SSSSUNDERSTAND You"
Dimbark: The man feels sad that you mocked him.
Dimbark: Man: Get SSSsssSSS out!
Dimbark: He points to the way out.
Ninja Waffle: "Well......Fuck you! And Fuck SSSSSUBWAY too, I'm going to go buy some pizza or something" I walk out and in anger look around for something to steal.
Dimbark: You find a baby.
Ninja Waffle: "I'm going to take this Baby, how do you feel about that!?" I take the baby and begin running out of the store while jumping over numerous objects that are placed in my way for absolutely no reason what so ever.
Dimbark: It's all fun and games, but then your shoe flies off and you step on a piece of wood, as a small bit of it gets suck in your foot... SPLINTER!
Dimbark: You drop the baby in panic. It explodes into guts and blood. Awww....
Ninja Waffle: "OH SHI- FU- " *I start panicking even further and start slurring randomlly while trying to take the splinter out of my foot*
Dimbark: You run around trying to take it out! Ouch! It won't come out! You need tweezers!
Dimbark: It comes out...
Dimbark: Sldies out...
Dimbark: Your foot heals...
Ninja Waffle: I immediately feel better, I begin walking in the direction directly opposite of the Subway in hopes of finding a different one or a inn of some sorts.
Dimbark: You find nothing but hills, trees, and goatd.
Dimbark: During your travels, a cold wind passes through.
Dimbark: - Ponyville is now in ruin. Bwahahaha! -
Dimbark: - And I have a new accomplice... -
Ninja Waffle: "Oh great not you again....*sigh* tell me your plans already..."
Dimbark: - My new accomplice... is... SEPHIROTH! -
Dimbark: - Sephiroth, say hi. 'Cmon! Say hi! -
Dimbark: - ...*Herrroow!*.... -
Dimbark: - That was Seph-seph, by the way. -
Ninja Waffle: "OH REALLY NOW? Because, That was such a BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG surprise, not like I couldn't have Guessed that from when he appeared out of nowhere EARLLLIIIIIIIER, and I'm defnitely not being sarcastic"
Dimbark: - ...."What'd he say?".... -
Dimbark: - I dunno, something about his splinter? -
Dimbark: - ..."Ah.."... -
Ninja Waffle: "No, I said you're both IDIOTS, Screw You!" *I being walking in the opposite direction back towards Subway*
Dimbark: - We're not leaving you, yanno? -
Dimbark: - .."Yeah. Hehehehe!... -
Ninja Waffle: *I pretend that I can't hear them and continue on my way with my arms crossed*
Dimbark: - 99 bottles of beer on the wall! 99 bottles of beer! -
Dimbark: - ..."Hey man! I luv that song, yanno?"... -
Dimbark: - Seph.. you high again? -
Dimbark: - ..."Yeah.. yanno, I love ya man..."... -
Dimbark: You hear the sound of a phone smacking down on a reciever again.
Ninja Waffle: *I stop for a moment and think about what must be ocurring over wherever they are* I then scavenge around the area for anything of value, or something I could possibly use as a makeshift weapon
Dimbark: You find a stick and a candy apple.
Dimbark: Suddenly.. the voice returns.
Dimbark: - Ah... STOP IT! Okay, enough. Geez... Ahhgh! I said stop it! -
Dimbark: - ..."But it's stuck!".... -
Dimbark: - Shh, he can hear us! -
Ninja Waffle: "I....nevermind" *I impale the candy apple with the stick and then stand in a slightly agressive stance while singing out - "I AM READY FOR BATTLE!"
Dimbark: - I don't care. We don't wanna fight you right now. We're about to burn down Manehatten. Then we'll move onto Canterlot. -
Dimbark: - Right Seph? AGH! NOT AGAIN! -
Dimbark: Phone slams down against reciever, but it kinda misses...
Dimbark: - Aww.. Ah yeah... -
Dimbark: *Meaty sounds*
Dimbark: - Shiet! He can still hear us! -
Dimbark: The phone slams correctly against the reciever again.
Ninja Waffle: "That...what the fu-*Suddenly the candle apple explodes all over my face-and I fall into a large hole next to me*
Dimbark: You wake up.. in a bed. In a dark room. With not even a door in it,
Dimbark: - Welcome to my jail cell. -
Ninja Waffle: "What the SHIT?" Wait..No I'm just dreaming I'm going to go back to sleep *I pretend to go to sleep but lie in wait*
Dimbark: You lie in wait. And hour passes.
Dimbark: Another passes.
Dimbark: And another...
Dimbark: A beard forms on your face.
Ninja Waffle: *I finally fall asleep from waiting so long*
Dimbark: Your stomach grumbles. Your throat is dry.
Dimbark: You manage to fall asleep and wake back up.
Dimbark: - Ah! You're awake! Welcome to my jail cell! -
Ninja Waffle: "WHAT YEAR IS IT?!"
Dimbark: - 2012.
Dimbark: - It's December right now. 24th. -
Dimbark: - And it's 11:59 -
Ninja Waffle: "Wait...December 24th....2012? Are you sure? Because If that's true I just won a bet...well technically I won a bet three days ago when the world didn't end..but yea, I'm happy Now"
Ninja Waffle: *I continue rambling about what I
Dimbark: - The world will end in less than a minute. We managed to move onto Canterlot, and once we kill Celestia. It's over. Bwahahaha! -
Dimbark: - Chow. Sephy-Seph will be watching you so you don't do anything. -
Dimbark: Part of the wall opens like a door as Sephiroth comes in, shutting it.
Ninja Waffle: "NO YOU FOOLS< YOU can't DO THAT....The bet wasn't so specific I'll lose if you destroy the world!"
Ninja Waffle: "YOU SEPHIROTH...I heard Greg talking about you earlier...he seemed angry"
Dimbark: Sephiroth: Oh really?
Dimbark: Sephiroth: Ah.. 30 seconds before Celestia dies. The execution is soon.. -
Dimbark: Sephiroth laughs loudly.
Ninja Waffle: "Well that's a shame isn't it, for if Celestia were to die, I wonot be able to tell you what Greg CALLED YOU"
Dimbark: Sephiroth: What did he call me?
Ninja Waffle: "Well, I'm not going to tell you until you save Celestia and stop Greg, but I'll give you a hint it contained two words the first starting with uG and the second Bit
Dimbark: Sephiroth: Sorry, I couldn't save him unless I murdered the Gregster.
Dimbark: *her
Dimbark: Sephiroth: 15 seconds...
Ninja Waffle: Well, that's too sad, I mean Greg is going to get all the jewels...and everything and be ever so powerful, he'd just look for greener pastures...if you know what I mean."
Ninja Waffle: "For someone of that high of a position...doesn't need SOMETHING like you"
Dimbark: Sephiroth: Does it matter? The world's about to end in 10 seconds anyhoo.
Dimbark: Sephiroth: Any last words?
Ninja Waffle: "Oh yea...I'll give you a few, You guys are just great! You know, I mean you have no idea who I am, all I had to do was walk around and let you guys all do the dirtywork for me. Because... I'm Discord, You know, the Spirit of disharmony, HAH!, why do you think I tried to break you two up?, But now I realize, you cause Discord FOR me. Go ahead" *I lay down in the bed laughing uncontrollably*
Dimbark: You do that.
Dimbark: Sephiroth: ...You big smelly Willie.
Dimbark: The world explodes.
Dimbark: Your body flies through time and space.
Ninja Waffle: "Well.....fuck"
Dimbark: You fly through time, space, interdimensional matter...
Dimbark: You open your eyes. Your on an odd blue platform surrounded by other blue platforms.. in darkness.
Ninja Waffle: "Where am I?" I yell out, "Is anyone there?"
Dimbark: You shout. You get no response.
Dimbark: - And the times of wind... change like sand in one's hourglass.. -
Dimbark: - The fat lady sings... all is lost. -
Dimbark: - Tell me, my fat lady, will you sing? -
Ninja Waffle: "I'm not a lady"
Dimbark: - I can change that.. -
Dimbark: Something thumps down in your pants and slithers down your sleeve. Your chest puffs out.
Dimbark: - Will you sing, fat lady? -
Ninja Waffle: "Well...this is hot"
Ninja Waffle: "And No I won't sing for you!"
Dimbark: Your body goes back to normal.
Ninja Waffle: *I think, Well that worked*
Dimbark: - Then struggle on, my fat lady. -
Dimbark: There's a blue platform in front of you.
Ninja Waffle: I step onto the platform
Dimbark: You go onto it. It falls over as you go into the bottom-black pits of Oblivion.
Dimbark: - Hehe, I tricked you. I'm actually... THE GREGSTER! -
Ninja Waffle: *As I am falling I yell out* "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUU GREEEEEEEG"
Dimbark: You land on a mystery pillow!
Dimbark: - That's not a pillow.. that's a chicken! -
Dimbark: The pillow goes "B-cock! B-cock!"
Dimbark: (Like the music?)
Ninja Waffle: (yea)
Ninja Waffle: "Why is there a chick-Wait..nevermind, does ANY of this make any sense at all? And why are you messing with me, it's time you told me, AND SHUT THAT CHICKEN UP GREG,"
Dimbark: - Never! -
Dimbark: The chicken goes crazy and hits puberty.
Dimbark: It moans.
Ninja Waffle: "What the--" *I kick the chicken*
Dimbark: You kick it. It falls back in the void, as you continue falling. You land on another pillow!
Dimbark: - That pillow... is actually a cow! -
Ninja Waffle: "Are you SERIOUS Greg? You just seem like you ran out of idea now." *I begin kicking the cow*
Dimbark: You kick it. It moans.
Ninja Waffle: *I sit on the cow and just stare into the void*
Dimbark: You sit on it and stare. It moans again,
Ninja Waffle: *I asses my sorrundings, looking for a way to end my life*
Dimbark: You see the void.
Dimbark: - This all makes sense... You see, your world is destroyed. You're now on the next world.. My homeworld...! -
Ninja Waffle: "OH Wow Greg, you know what would make me really mad? If you placed nuclear bombs all across this world and then put the detonator right infront of me, and then tricked me into detonating it, because that would make me Really, Really mad, you shouldn't do that"
Dimbark: - Dude. Why delete my planet? -
Dimbark: - That'd be stupid. -
Ninja Waffle: "............." *I jump into the void*
Dimbark: You jump into the void. Landing on another pillow!
Dimbark: - That pillow is actually... A BUZZER! -
Ninja Waffle: *I begin smacking the buzzer down cotninuously*
Dimbark: You smack it. It changes tone.
Dimbark: [Puzzle solved!]
Ninja Waffle: *I hear the music* "What the fuck was that?"
Dimbark: - You solved a puzzle! -
Ninja Waffle: "Are those........subtitles?"
Dimbark: - That's how things work in this world... -
Dimbark: - I have a couple of questions.. -
Dimbark: -Why did you shame yourself by not protecting your Brony people? -
Dimbark: The buzzer goes off again.
Ninja Waffle: *I slam the buzzer before speaking* "I assumed that your intentions were to make me angry, so using my Reverse Psychology, pretended I did not care for the bronies of my homeland, assuming you would find something else to bother me with, clearl, I was wrong"
Dimbark: - Well, you pretty much screwed yourself. Here. -
Dimbark: A flimsy rope falls down.
Dimbark: - Climb up. Be part of MY world. -
Ninja Waffle: *I tug on the rope to test its durability* -Then I start climbing up only a few feet
Dimbark: You climb a few feet.
Dimbark: It's slippery. You slide back down.
Ninja Waffle: "What, ANOTHER puzzle?" "How am I supposed to solve this? All I have is a stupid buzzer that does nothing but buzz!" *I slam on the buzzer*
Dimbark: It changed back to normal.
Dimbark: [PUZZLE UNSOLVED!]
Ninja Waffle: "..........." *I slam the buzzer again* And then jump into the void*
Dimbark: You slam it again.
Dimbark: [Puzzle resolved!]
Dimbark: You jump down, landing on a pillow.
Dimbark: - That pillow is actually... a cat! -
Ninja Waffle: *I start massging the cat, thinking that will solve the puzzle*
Dimbark: You massage it.
Dimbark: Not much happens...
Ninja Waffle: *I take the cat with me and then jump into the void again*
Dimbark: You take the cat and jump down in the void. It flies up from your hands. You land on a pillow.
Dimbark: - That pillow... is actually... a pillow! -
Dimbark: The pillow meows.
Ninja Waffle: *I look into the pillow expecting to find a cat*
Dimbark: You look inside. NOTHING
Dimbark: [Puzzle solved!]
Dimbark: The slippery rope comes back down.
Dimbark: - Climb it! -
Ninja Waffle: * I check my inventory *
Dimbark: You are naked. You have nothing in your inventory. -
Ninja Waffle: * I pick up the pillow covers and attempt to put it around my hands to use as gloves *
Dimbark: You have pillowey-glove hands! They meow.
Dimbark: [Puzzle solved!]
Ninja Waffle: *I begin attempting to climb up the rope with my pillowey-glove hands
Dimbark: You climb a couple of feet and slide back down.
Dimbark: - Try climbing with your teeth. In MY world, teeth are stronger than arms and hands. -
Ninja Waffle: *I bite the rope and try to climb up very slightly*
Dimbark: You manage to climb up quickly. The rope leads up to the blue platform you started on. You manage to the top.
Dimbark: There are no other blue platforms.
Dimbark: - Ah, you have returned... to my world. -
Dimbark: - Please, look around. -
Dimbark: A bridge flies up from the void, leading about a mile away. -
Ninja Waffle: *I walk towards the bridge and test its durability*
Dimbark: You test its durability by jumping on it. It glows as it starts moving quickly like a conveyor belt.
Dimbark: The conveyor belt eventually takes you to a large castle with a small courtyard in front. In the courtyard are two women and Sephiroth.
Dimbark: Sephiroth: Hello...
Ninja Waffle: "Oh Hi Sephiroth, having fun with these two?"
Dimbark: He nods. The women make a sound of disqust and wander off.
Dimbark: Sephiroth casts FIRE on them and they burn into balls of heat, dying.
Dimbark: Sephiroth: I am one of the two Dual-Rulers of this world. Guess what we named it.
Ninja Waffle: "What did you name it? Sephiroth-Gregster world? or maybe... Gregster-Sephiroth?"
Dimbark: Sephiroth: No.. we called it something badass. Wanna hear it? Wanna hear it? Hmm?
Ninja Waffle: *sigh* "I guess, go ahead and tell me"
Dimbark: Sephiroth: Grephiroth!
Ninja Waffle: "Hm...what does Greg think about that? It makes it sound like you'
Ninja Waffle: 're are more important than him"
Dimbark: Sephiroth: His name is Gregster now! Geez!
Dimbark: Sephiroth meows.
Ninja Waffle: ".........................." *I look at the two women on the ground to see if they have anything of value*
Dimbark: Nothing of value.
Dimbark: He meows again.
Ninja Waffle: Who meows again
Dimbark: Sephiroth.
Ninja Waffle: "Why are you mewoing?"
Dimbark: Sephiroth: In this world, you meow alot or you die. Try it!
Ninja Waffle: *I attempt to mewo to the best of my ability*
Dimbark: You don't know how to meow.
Dimbark: Seph-Seph meows again.
Ninja Waffle: *I attempt to study Seph-Seph's meow*
Dimbark: You study his meow and manage your own.
Dimbark: [Puzzle solved!]
Dimbark: Sephiroth: Ah, I see you solved a puzzle.
Dimbark: Sephiroth: Go inside the castle. The Gregster is waiting for you.
Dimbark: Sephiroth meows again.
Ninja Waffle: I attempt to find the entrance to the castle.
Dimbark: You see the front doors.
Ninja Waffle: I attempt to open the front doors.
Dimbark: You open them. They reveal a large spiral staircase.
Ninja Waffle: I begin walking up the spiral staircase.
Dimbark: You walk up the staircase. Eventually, you start to feel sick -- meowless...
Dimbark: You start to die...
Ninja Waffle: I quicly attempt to use 'meow'
Dimbark: You manage to meow!
Dimbark: (Wtf are we doing!? lol)
Ninja Waffle: (Bro I don't even who the fuck you are!)
Dimbark: You make it to the top. You see the Gregster in his throne.
Dimbark: Gregster: Hello. Welcome to my planet.
Ninja Waffle: "It sucks"
Dimbark: Gregster: How so?
Ninja Waffle: "Well, for one, you're here" *I make conversation with Greg as I look around the room looking at all and any objects
Dimbark: You see a small vase, a pedestal, and skeleton bones chained to a wall.
Dimbark: Gregster: Meow before your king! Do it now, mortal!
Ninja Waffle: I use meow, and then walk over to the vase attempting to look inside of it
Dimbark: You meow and look inside the vase.
Dimbark: He meows back.
Dimbark: Gregster: What are you doing with that vase? Those are my mother's ashes!
Ninja Waffle: I pick up the vase and have it tilted slightly towards the ground. "How much are they worth to you?"
Dimbark: He meows again.
Ninja Waffle: I use meow
Dimbark: You meow back.
Dimbark: Gregster: More than your life. Set them down, or I kill you!
Dimbark: Magic surges to his arms.
Dimbark: Gregster seems happy.... somehow, you're high...
Dimbark: His head turns into a smiley face. You seem to be high on meows.
Ninja Waffle: I attempt to bark.
Dimbark: You bark.
Dimbark: You become unhigh.
Ninja Waffle: "If you kill me Greg!" "I will drop the ashes, I am willing to trade them for something of value"
Dimbark: Gregster: Put the vase back, now.
Dimbark: Gregster: OH SEPH-SEPH!
Dimbark: Sephiroth comes from the staircase.
Dimbark: Sephiroth: Yes Gregster?
Dimbark: Gregster: Kill him -- let nothing happen to the ashes!
Dimbark: Sephiroth: IMA KILL YER ASS!
Dimbark: Sephiroth pulls out the sword, murdering Gregster.
Ninja Waffle: "Why did you kill Greg?"
Dimbark: Sephiroth: It's... complicated...
Dimbark: Sephiroth: I could not... let him tell you..
Dimbark: Gregster: Please.. come close fat lady...
Ninja Waffle: I walk towards Gregster.
Dimbark: You walk to him.
Dimbark: Gregster: I... <hack> <hack> need... <hack>!
Dimbark: Gregster: The truth is that...
Dimbark: Sephiroth gives the finishing stab and gorges him with the blade.
Ninja Waffle: I look at Gregster's body for anything of value
Dimbark: You find his Sword and put it in your hands.
Dimbark: Sephiroth: I now name this planet after me.. I name is Sephder!
Ninja Waffle: "Tell me the truth or I will kill you1" I stand in an agressive stance facing Sephiroth, I hold my sword in my left and the vase of ashes in my right.
Dimbark: Sephiroth: Perhaps you are right.. I name this planet Sephiroth. The Planet! And... I now name myself Gregster!
Dimbark: Sephiroth places his hand on the body of Gregstor. The appearance of Gregster passes onto him as the corpse disappears.
Dimbark: "I HAVE BECOME GREGSTOR! I now rule MY planet..."
Dimbark: "After years of envy... I now have identity! Personality!"
Dimbark: He meows.
Ninja Waffle: I meow back
Dimbark: You meow back.
Ninja Waffle: I look at Gregstor, is he carrying anything? What is he wearing?
Dimbark: You look at "Gregstor". He's wearing the DARK ARMOR OF GREGSTOR and is weilding the SWORD OF SEPHIRTOH!
Dimbark: - I.. can speak to your mind... -
Dimbark: Gregstor laughs evilly.
Ninja Waffle: "That is highly unecessary seeing that I'm standing right here"
Dimbark: Gregstor: Hush! Meow!
Ninja Waffle: I bark
Dimbark: You bark. He seems offended.
Ninja Waffle: I throw the ashes at his face.
Dimbark: You throw the jar. It bursts on him as the ashes fly around. He stands there laughing and prepares his sword.
Ninja Waffle: I attempt to hit his sword out of his hand.
Dimbark: Gregstor: I am stronger than you. You are not even wearing clothes, while I have Holy Dark Armor!
Dimbark: You attempt to hit his hand, but your sword goes right through it.
Dimbark: Gregstor meows.
Ninja Waffle: I bark.
Dimbark: You bark.
Dimbark: Gregstor: I must return.. It is difficult ruling a planet.
Dimbark: Gregstor: But this.. is not just any planet. It's The Planet.
Dimbark: He goes back to his throne and sits. The floor beneath you disappears as you fall down a trap door and manage to fly back out into the courtyard. You see a humanoid figure standing.
Dimbark: Humanoid: &#1493;&#1493;&#1488;&#1464;&#1505; &#1494;&#1506;&#1504;&#1506;&#1503; &#1488;&#1497;&#1512; &#1496;&#1488;&#1503; &#1491;&#1488;&#1464;?
Ninja Waffle: I attempt to understand what he is saying.
Dimbark: You fail to.
Dimbark: Humanoid: &#1488;&#1497;&#1494; &#1506;&#1508;&#1468;&#1506;&#1505; &#1508;&#1488;&#1463;&#1500;&#1513;?
Ninja Waffle: I look at the humanoid, assesing him.
Dimbark: You look at him. He looks like something from Amneisa: The Dark Descent.
Ninja Waffle: I jump backwards in fear, I meow hoping for a reply.
Dimbark: You jump back and meow.
Dimbark: He moos.
Ninja Waffle: I study his moo.
Dimbark: You study it.
Dimbark: [Puzzle solved!]
Dimbark: He moos again.
Ninja Waffle: I moo back at him.
Dimbark: You moo back at him.
Dimbark: He smiles.
Dimbark: He moos again.
Ninja Waffle: I moo again, attempting to hide my fear with a broken smile.
Dimbark: You moo. He goes around in circles pecking you while chickening.
Ninja Waffle: I study him
Dimbark: You study him. What the fuck is he doing.
Ninja Waffle: I look at my surroundings. Is there anything of value, are there any exits or objects?
Dimbark: You see the conveyor-bridge, the castle, and the odd being chickening you.
Dimbark: It chickens you really hard. Blood spills.
Dimbark: It barks.
Ninja Waffle: I bark back and then unsheathe my sword.
Dimbark: You bark and unsheath the original Gregster sword.
Dimbark: It gets into a battle stance.
Ninja Waffle: I go into a battle stance, and attempt to make the first hit.
Dimbark: You make the first hit. It's head flies off./
Dimbark: [Puzzle solved!]
Dimbark: It's head and body fly off into the void.
Dimbark: - Person, I need you. Quickly. Bring my humanoid, he should be in the courtyard. This is an emergency! -
Ninja Waffle: I look towards the void attempting to see what remains of the humanoid.
Dimbark: You look off. It's already disappeared.
Dimbark: - HURRY! -
Ninja Waffle: I run into the castle.
Dimbark: You run up the stairs and to the throne.
Dimbark: Gregster: Hmph. It's about time!
Ninja Waffle: I attempt to lie: "The Humanoid tripped and fell into the void"
Dimbark: Gregster: That sucks. Well, come here. I must pass the power of Sephiroth to you...
Dimbark: Gregster: Come closer...
Ninja Waffle: I walk towards Gregster with my sword unsheathed.
Dimbark: You walk towards him slowly.
Dimbark: He grabs your wrist and pulls you close!
Dimbark: He meows for a second and begins...
Dimbark: Gregster: This.. power... my time has passed. And yours will soon. I want you to create this paradox... of Gregsterness.
Dimbark: Gregster: Please... I beg of you. Although you don't know what it is, be my Gregster. Will you do this?
Ninja Waffle: I study him, Is he in panic?
Dimbark: He seems serious.
Ninja Waffle: I attempt to stab him.
Dimbark: You pull out your sword. He takes it in his hand as it disappears into ash.
Dimbark: Gregster: Will you create the paradox of Gregster?
Dimbark: Gregstor whispers slightly: ...And break the cycle?
Ninja Waffle: I
Ninja Waffle: Accept
Dimbark: You accept.
Dimbark: Gregstor: A sacrafice must be made.. For you to go back to the original Planet... And be the Cartographer.
Dimbark: Gregstor's skin burns up as his body is passed to you, aswell as his armor and sword.
Dimbark: The floor beneath you goes bright as you sink in. Your eyes close and ope.
Dimbark: You are in the Castle of Powar, and you see a bill cosby from the side of the hidden Castle next to a crying horse and broken carriage. You also see the one they refer to as the fat lady asking for an autograph.
Ninja Waffle: I check my inventory, what do I have?
Dimbark: You have your Dark Armor of Gregster and the Sword of Gregstor.
Ninja Waffle: I walk up to the fat lady and asses her, does she have anything of value?
Dimbark: You jump down to the fat lady and ask her if she has anything of value.
Dimbark: Fat Lady: Oh.. It's you! THE CARTOGRAPHER!
Dimbark: Fat Lady: Did you get my poisoned paper? Hmm?
Dimbark: A small bunny rabbit jumps out. A knife appears in your hand.
Dimbark: (Remember this?)
Ninja Waffle: "I..... Yes, I Do have it"
Dimbark: The knife from your hand flies onto the rabbit.
Dimbark: "You forgot the chorus," "Ahhhh ya ya yaaaah ya ya yaaah yaaaah ya yah"
Ninja Waffle: I take my sword and stab the crying horse nearby.
Dimbark: You stab the crying horse, making a circle of meat.
Dimbark: He cooks some meat from the broken wagon.
Ninja Waffle: I go looking for an island.
Dimbark: (Very familiar, isn't it?)
Dimbark: You go find an island in some lava.)
Ninja Waffle: I test my armour's durability when exposed to lava.
Dimbark: You walk into the lava, catch fire, and die. GAME OVER
Dimbark: [ Puzzle solved... You broke the cycle... ]
Dimbark: FUN AMIRITE
Ninja Waffle: What the fuck just happened.
Dimbark: You died.
Dimbark: In the lava.
Ninja Waffle: 6:30 PM - Dimbark: You don't remember me? We're playing ingame.
9:03 PM - Ninja Waffle: What the fuck just happened.
Mind Fuck
Dimbark: lol
Dimbark: Wanna play another round?
Ninja Waffle: uh

Scott's Portal 2 drawing.

Note the turret, a light bridge, Wheatley, and the warning signage for toxic water.

Partially hidden behind him is the plush headcrab that his mom made for him. Lamarr protects him at night from monsters.

[EDITED]
For getting good grades this nine weeks, my mom got me the very first 14 episodes of Dr. Who. :D

[EDIT]
Oh, and here's something 'bout Ron Paul.

[Open in new window]

Just got pulled over for the first time ever at a police checkpoint. Yay!

Lots of people see them from a mile away and make a turn as soon as they can. Fools. I just laughed and pulled over. I don't have a problem with it, all my documentation is up to date and I have nothing to hide.

Hello Fine Gentleladies of TWHL(I jest!), I am sick of my Avatar, a recolored Scott Pilgrim I recolored a year or so ago. So I am looking to create my own original one using Photoshop. Sadly, I suck ass at it, I can do some basic stuff. But really I can't use it worth shit, so here is the main question, does anyone know any good beginner Photoshop tutorials? And the idea of making a journal wasn't mine. It was CTs, get mad at him. But in all seriousness, any help would be appreciated, any beginner tutorial would help, google is being a dick and all these advanced tutorials are coming up, even when I put in beginner. Thanks in advance!

So I need to make a decision within less than 12 hours.

I recently got a kickass new grahpics card and PSU to back it up.

A sweet GEFORCE GTX 570 and a 1000W Cooler Master somehow crammed into my HP Pavilion. The whole bundle for $719 AUS with free installation because I suck at installing hardware.

My grahpics are now so shiny. I've been playing Civilisation 5 AND I HAVE SHINY WATER!!! OMG IT'S SHINY WATER!!! /spaz

Anyway, the geforce gtx 570 supports 3D for non-3D games. I can currently play any game with the good old Anaglyph (red/blue) glasses but these things ruin colours and I would much prefer sterioscopic 3D. However, this is mach more powerful and requires some further purchases which I can't decide.

Nvidia 3D Vision requires:
1) A 3D-ready monitor that has 120hz refresh rate. I am currently looking at the Samsung 2233RZ, which is basically the exact model I already have but 3D ready. (I would also love to have dual monitors again). This monitor goes for around $500-$700

2) A Nvidia 3D vision pack which includes an IR emitter and allows on the fly adjustments to 3D depth and wireless 'Shutter Glasses'. I really don't know how they work so don't ask me. This pack usually goes for about $75-$100.

Currently on eBay I can get a bundle pack of the monitor AND the 3D kit for only $340 including postage. It's the ONLY bundle I can find and it's actually one of the few monitors that I can get for less than $500 as most other supported monitors are over $500 on ebay let alone their retail value which can reach $1100.

I have less than 12 hours (ebay item ends) to decide and thanks to my car, money is really short. I can afford it but I don't really want to but this is an awesome deal.

Eeep!
