Random Raves XIX: My nipples explode with delight!

[Ajidica]

I found a gaming club that plays Magic! Yay!
Of course, in the 5 games I played, I only won one (which was due to a mistake my opponent made) but it was still fun.

People doing finance-related degrees are hilariously dumb. I've heard stories from one of my friends about one of the girls doing macroeconomics who asked the tutor, completely seriously a month into the semester, "what's demand?"

How do these people even get into university?

 

[Dachs]

What is this?

Go nuts.

I stopped reading Dr. McNinja about a year ago: is that time-travelling mayor storyline still going on?

Kind of. He and Doc failed to stop the dinosaurs from finding Earth and were forced to travel into the future to avoid being killed. They've linked up with the human resistance in Cumberland, led by Future Sean, Future Gordito, and Future King Radical and are leading an attack on the dinosaurs' main base.

I just got certified that I have been trained to start training for Olympic weightlifting.

 

[Tee Kay]

Wooo! Go Hygro

 

[Hygro]

Gracias, Taillesskangaru. We were being trained two or three stories underground in a flooded boxing gym. It was fun but I don't think I'm going to continue on the Olympic-lifting path for my weight training (although it's a fantastic workout). Too expensive at my gym.

My awesome convincing power: Tuesday, I convince my AoE and Total War playing friend on the bus ride home to check out Paradox Interactive (he is probably the 5th person at my high scholl of 1500-some to have heard of it). Today, he says he is already in the process of DLing a pirated version of Victoria 2.

That's a rave?

 

[SouthernKing]

That's a rave?

Quite possibly

Quite possibly

What, you want him to be hauled away by federal officers?

 

[W|M]

How the hell would one be caught pirating?

 

[SouthernKing]

What, you want him to be hauled away by federal officers?

To be honest, I wouldn't actually mind that

 

[PlutonianEmpire]

How the hell would one be caught pirating?

Well, for one thing, bragging about pirating makes it easier to get caught.

Its the US I thought its ordinary there, luckily I live in an almost lawless nation I can pirate as much as I want (not sure if we have a law against it, but even if we do it has NEVER been enforced).

What, you want him to be hauled away by federal officers?

You really think federal officers are going to break into his house and "haul him away" for downloading a relatively obscure computer game?

 

[SouthernKing]

It actually is fairly ordinary.

So, I'm going to be having surgery in about fourteen hours. If all goes well - it almost certainly will - I'll be finally rid of the leg and back problems that have left me half-crippled for years. If it doesn't, those problems might still be around and I could have things as grotesque as a floppy foot that requires a brace in order for me to walk.

Either way, I'm finally able to do something about this crap. And I'm so. <snip>. Psyched.

Probably going to be off of CFC for awhile, though. Narcotics and whatnot.

 

[NickyJ]

Good luck, Dachs. I hope it turns out well.

Oh, and don't forget to post pics!

 

[Verarde]

Dachs! That's awesome! I'll be praying for both the surgery and a speedy recovery!

 

[EnglishCrusader]

Good luck Dachs!
