If we get enough votes alexp might delete him!

i vote that he is a stalker

i vote that he is a stalker

that was me there is one in there somewhere

like 3rd down

i know lol

I changed the name of the story to "Timj, the morbidly obese 12 year old," to better reflect the author. Being a morbidly obese 12 year old does not, however, justify creating something like that.

you can do that?

Sure, I'm a moderator. Of course, it just occurred to me that in doing so, I just acted like a 12 year old, so I'll change it.

the other name is better it stops them wasting there lifes on a fake story

Who the fuck is this Timj kid anyway? Btw, nice try attempting to pass off your comment as JJJ, timmy boeh.

he keeps trying to get people's birthdays and asking are they male or female. and look at his story.

he said to me it was for his story about me.

I lol'd when I realised timj actually called himself a stalker.

What kind of person takes pride in that?

BOBCON - 3.

I hope he publishes all that shit.

So so i

so do i*

WHAT THE FUCK GET THE FUCK OFF MY BULLSHITS IN MY ASSHOLE YOU BITCH

Y.. yeah

I'm about to make Anoobis and steal all his points and get 100 duel victories man.

Go for it, Abunis.

Eh, see, there's another one for yah.

Holy shit, I just realized it said Abunis not Anubis. I didn't read carefully enough, ne?

Sou deshita.  You're not complying with your own ban, aboobis.

So deshida, Negative One. Damn it, that sounds badass.

Haha

The negative one would be:  Iie, arimasen deshita

So da ne.

I'm pretty sure it's deshiDa, teme!

JJJ, that's so rude! haha

Anubis, doesn't matter what you think, I took two years of Japanese, haha, and that's essentially one of the first things we learned, besides good morning/day/evening/night.

Meh, my bro said it was deshida, but I'm guessing it was another meaning. Oh well, deshita.

But that's seriously cool that you take a language. Was it an elective or extracurricular course?

You know, I always like meeting people who not just learn a language to fulfill a school requisite, but actually take the time to learn and appreciate the language and the culture and the history of a nation. In this case, I don't like Otaku who only like Anime and don't take the time to really delve into the true face of Japan. I mean 95% of the Otaku I've met only watch Anime in English. I get a similar feeling of disappointment when I watch or read articles in the mainstream news regarding video game news. In terms of news, the mainstream people don't know what their talking about and overall regard video games as just a toy or something that little kids deal with, when in fact it's an entire culture. Their obliviousness detracts from the merit of their clarity in the subject, and ultimately feels more awkward and time-wasting than your grandparents trying to figure out how to work a cellphone. But I digress; I really only like discussing Japanese and other countries' cultures with people who have an active interest in them. Personally, it feels more genuine and fulfilling to understand a society and then enjoy their entertainment or whatever is mainstream (that other people only focus on) so that the enjoyment is genuine. That's also why when I go around the world on an epic quest of vacation (ie honeymoon, ya know) I would actually want to rent an area and live in the country for a week or two, or maybe several months to a year - of course I would prepare myself thoroughly how to speak and the country's customs. It's that kind of interaction that I think is truly lost in regular-old tourism.

One paragraph down, one to go:

Actually, my brother is taking Japanese in college next year, but has been studying it since, oh, sixth grade I believe, at home. He's quite a good speaker, and we both practice while watching Anime. He's actually applied to be a transfer student to Japan for next or next-next year, which is 1. mind blowing and 2. awesome. It'll be fantastic for him to go abroad, especially since he loves Japan more than America. No joke, he hates American culture, and so do I in a way. As for me, I'll study Japanese in college (along with Russian, which my brother also takes) because I want to become a game designer, and Japanese would be invaluable to learn. I'll stay here in the states and I'm thinking seriously about entering ROTC.

Yeah, so that's a rant and a half for you.

You had to be a dick a write a lot, huh?  haha  I thought we were cool.

Well, I had to take two years of language (in order to graduate), and all my school offered was Spanish (which I know already) and French (pfft... French haha).  I took it for free at a community college; it was actually just for fun, but it satisfied the requirement, which was cool too.  The first class was on Japanese language and culture, which I was lucky enough to take before the CC got rid of it.  The others were focused on language and writing though.  Anyways, I agree with your first paragraph; I severely dislike Otaku... once with a passion; now I can laugh at them, because I'm not even so into Japanese culture anymore.  Whereas I once prided myself on knowing all this stuff about Japanese culture in general, I hated talking to fake-ass kids who only watched Naw-roo-toe; now, the knowledge is all there, but I don't care to expand, nor talk to those stupid fucks.

I'm not a huge fan of ROTC, but I guess that's just because I don't like our foreign policies in general (preemptive strikes and all that bullshit).  I understand that they're not necessarily connected, but they carry it all out, usually blindly.  I always laugh, because my friend's always saluting them, and he's not in ROTC so they get all pissed off.

Haha, that works too.

Hey, Anubis, Game design is my dream as well! I've already got uni courses planned for programming and such. If you want to practice game design (ie learn how to make fun games) and you have no programming expertise, I recommend Game Maker to start with.

@ Zero: I can totally understand why you don't talk about Japanese culture since, well, you don't have anyone respectable to talk to. I, on the other hand, do have people who I can sit down with, have an intriguing discussion with, and meanwhile be raping 10-year-olds with BAR's. lol But you should definitely find something useful to do with your Japanese; there's a lot of options.

@ JJJ: Interwebz ftw.

@ Rommy: Woot! A fellow game designer. I've always wanted to get my hands on a game maker thing, and while at first I thought that my ideas were too godly for crappy flash games, after playing Con Artist's flash games (Last Stand 1 and 2, Warfare 1917 and '44, and some other addictive game) I'm inspired that my first days as a programmer could be awesome. Do you know any easy-to-use and/or FREE game makers? I don't know...anything about programming, but I will definitely take it next year.

Hey, if you want I can also show you my latest creation.

Okay, I'm not very experienced in Flash, Java, C++, Assembler (assembler's a bitch, don't use it. ever.) or Basic.

Visual Basic is easy to use, but is useless for making games, because key pushes take like 2 seconds to register.

So, I use Game Maker. That's what it's called. It has a "drag and drop" system of commands similar to lego mindstorms, which is easy to use if you know what a variable is. It's object oriented, does the drawing on the screen for you and there IS a programming language which is much easier to use than most. I use the drag and drop and code in tandem.

I think you can get the "lite" version for free, then you need to pay for full functionality. It's worth it. But don't expect to start making 3D games soon. You don't get the aid you have for 2D.

I can also email you a copy of a game i'm working on atm.

Also, Anubis, I agree. Most flash games DO suck. This is probably due to them having no idea how to make a fun game. That's the tricky part.

No yeah, sprites ftw. lol

Thanks for the info. I'll look into it.

BTW, Zero, I never responded to your ROTC comment. I'm looking to go into the Inactive Reserve. After finishing college, I'll enter inactive reserve which means I won't be sent to Afghanistan (well at least not of my own volition) and I'll be basically on a last-resort deal. If we enter war (as in, we decide to finally declare war before sending troops in), I will be called out, or if the reserves are tapped as they were recently, but once my 4 years of inactive reserve are done, I'm a free man. I want to do ROTC because I love the military, but I don't think I want to ruin my life going to war. Neither does my mother. I feel that going through boot camp is enough to make me be a better person, and I'll use my skills I learn from going to a good college for basically free to get a good career and life and make Afghanistan.

lol. I'm staying the fuck away from any kind of military. I hate being surrounded by a) macho jocks and b) having to take orders.

True, I do hate jocks, but ROTC teaches you to be an officer. So I'd be leading eight macho jocks into combat (if I see combat) and I' be receiving orders from fellow non-jock officers.

Honestly, I'm still weighing my options, but either I enter ROTC or I don't enter the military at all.

About your first comment, on Japanese, I know there are things which I can do... but given my location, not really.  I think the most useful thing I can do with my Japanese here is tutor dumb idiots who think they want to learn Japanese, when they actually have no respect for the language.  Or, you know, I can TA or something. haha

That's good to hear, about the ROTC/military.  Lots of people I know just wanna go... well, they don't know why they want to go -- they've just been persuaded by all the propaganda and shit.  Like, my friend Darren who, whenever he heard the song "Citizen Soldier," seriously contemplated joining the Army.  No other reason really, other than his life was (and still is) shitty, and he figured that'd be a thing to do.

I don't think many of them contemplate the fact that 99% of a soldier's time is spent being bored as hell. Long periods of boredom, punctuated by moments of sheer terror. Cause in Afganistan, I don't think they have many videogames. Or movies.

Colonel? nice End. i took it all 4 years as well. did most everything within the program that the school system would allow. it was fairly fun. and it wasnt that hard to get ahead of the 'know it all jocks' that wanted to run the place. they were always the lackeys that you got to push around.

nate

Colonel End. Dang, that's impressive.

I'm still debating, and...geez! Man I don't know. It'd be a great way to pay of college, and I'd become a soldier and learn how to be awesome and improve my self-confidence, and yet I don't want to be drafted or surrounded by "those" kinds of military men. 50/50 man.

Does that count as an actual Colonel, or a ROTC colonel? If you enlisted as a non-enlisted in the regular army/navy/marines/af, would you be a colonel?

My dad's friend who is a retired Lieutenant Colonel said that ROTC ranks do transfer when you do active service in the branch that you trained it. Once you complete ROTC, you are a Second Lieutenant, and then you gain ranks through service.
