[quote name='ElfAngel7']Thanks to Tokyotosho, I now have the ultra pretty Okami art book. This makes my eyes cry out for joy.[/QUOTE]
Must be an anime thing...
 
[quote name='Brak']Must be an anime thing...[/quote] Okami isn't anime. . .

Bored as hell. Been spending my day just watching game previews and trailers.
 
[quote name='dcfox']Okami isn't anime. . .[/QUOTE]
Yeah. I know. I own it.

To have one's eye gush with saline, watery fluids of joy over an art book must be an anime thing.

But it could be a video gamer thing too. And don't tell me you've never had ocular fluid leak out over some beautiful video game art, Brak.
 
Alright. Up to page four on this stupid paper. It's supposed to be "ten-ish" so I think if I can manage to pull 7-8 pages out of this horrible topic that'll be close enough. I imagine I'm gonna start pulling out little details soon though, cause I'm almost done with the background information about automobiles before 1900-1914 in Paris. Though I imagine talking about the history of Peugeot, Renault and Bugatti might take up a decent amount of space.
 
Wow...I was looking at the stuff for my paper that I have to write tomorrow night and the teacher is insane. He specifies font-size, margins, that you can't include the title and reference pages as part of the total length...Dude's a fucking control freak. Of course, his margins are ridiculous too. He wants all the margins set at 1", which is off from the starting of 1.25" for the left and right margins...I think I'm gonna go crazy by the end of Tuesday between that, my huge presentation for a 0 credit class and finishing this paper up tonight.

there's usually a reason why profs do that. it's because in the past they didn't, and some douchebag took advantage of it. i know people who have put their name, date, prof's name, title of the assignment and the class/session number each on separate lines, double spaced as their header. that way, there were 10 less lines per page on EVERY PAGE. over a 10 page paper, that shit adds up. in my healthcare law class, a student wrote one paragraph per page for a "20-page" assignment. the prof let her get away with it because she made a valid argument that he, as a lawyer, never specified the margins or how much text there should be on a page. last time he ever made that mistake.

Oh, I totally know. It's just couldn't we get away with normal margins? I mean, it's only a quarter inch each side, but that adds up too. I'm just still a bit peeved that the guy couldn't have a little bit of compassion for my situation (three major research papers due within two days) and give me another day or something. And it's not even like I could have done much work leading up to this because Inorganic Chemistry takes up all my time, plus the little stuff all these other classes were requiring.
 
[quote name='karsh']Inorganic Chemistry takes up all my time[/quote]

that shit sucked my ass. i mean organic chem is bad enough, but inorganic is THAT MUCH WORSE. my solution - changed majors and graduated a year sooner with a bs/ms instead of just a bs.

Oh god, Inorganic Chemistry ::trauma switch on::

Damn good thing I left the Chem. track before I finished this class.

So would rubbing your eyes be considered masturbation?
 
And that's why I'm SO glad I'm almost finished with Inorganic. One more week of class and a final, and then I'm finished with it. Though I'm pretty sure that last test raped me pretty well. We'll find out how bad if I get it back Tuesday.
 
[quote name='dcfox']The thing about Brak is that also leaks from his eyes.[/quote]

dripping off and leaking out of are two different things. true, it may leak out of his mouth but i think it's physically unpossible for it to leak out of his eyes.
 
[quote name='ElfAngel7']So would rubbing your eyes be considered masturbation?[/quote] Where do you think the old saying "if you do that too much you'll go blind" came from?

Hey, has anyone played the first game or sequel game Jump Ultimate Stars for the NDS?

I can't reasd japanese but it looks like a straight fighting game. Are the controls simple enough for someone like me to pick up and play.

It just looks neat. And now that they have those play-asia coupons it's more tempting.

I have the same question with Ouendan.
 
[quote name='CaseyRyback']1 inch margins are normal margins. At least they are for MLA[/quote]

Interesting. Well that's good to know. Word must not like being MLA style then, :lol:. Oh well. Don't have to worry about that paper till tomorrow night.

You have to go through this story mode to unlock characters, supporting characters, etc. You'll need need a faq since some of the missions in the story mode has you doing specific things. There is a versus mode where you can just fight but without any of the extra characters it won't be much fun.

Oooooh yah. I'm in the middle of Jump Ultimate Stars. The controls are simple (think 2d Smash Bros.), and unlocking characters is easier than the first. The only thing is that you have to go through the main story mode to unlock the base characters, and those are in Japanese. However, a quick visit to GameFAQs and you'll have a complete FAQ at your disposal. Plus it's online, so you'll always have an opponent, unlike the first version

what subject is your paper on with 1" margins? scientific papers aren't usually written in MLA, they're usually written in APA.

Also, how is the online? Imagine it might be pretty laggy.

For the record, Word hasn't done anything right. Ever. Much like anything in the Lotus Suite of software.

Except maybe that deal where you spell check certain phrases and get amusing results.

This is kinda interesting. It's for a law and justice class, so I figured it'd prolly be MLA style. However, I'm looking at his sheet on it, and he wants everything in APA style. Looks like I gotta relearn how to write things in APA style for tomorrow.

here's something that kept me sane during grad school: http://citationmachine.net/

you click on the style you want (MLA, APA, Chicago) and you click the type of pulication (Newspaper, Reference Book, Journal, etc) It gives you a java type script to enter your info. you hit enter when you're done, and it gives you the proper citation and bibliography informaiton to copy and paste.
 
[quote name='CaseyRyback']I got to learn chicago style by Wednesday.[/quote]

Their pizza is usually upside down. It's called deep dish.

And don't ever put ketchup on your wiener.

As far as writing goes though, you're on your own. :razz:
 
[quote name='dcfox']Joystiq says otherwise. I'm so confused. Plus my freeloader is the action replay one. So God only knows what the deal is with that version.[/quote]
Joystiq aren't exactly smart with that post since the gonintendo link is 1.06b and they have 1.06B. One works the other doesn't. Action Replay Freeloaders should work just fine.
 
[quote name='dcfox']Do you still have to create panels in the second game or can you just select characters from a menu like a regular fighting game? Also, how is the online? Imagine it might be pretty laggy.[/QUOTE]
It still has the koma system from the first game.

The online lagged a little when I played while I had torrents running, though it smoothed out when I turned the torrents off.
 
Toys R Us had at least 4 of them when xchika and i were in there today.

Totally walked right by and didn't give a damn.

Subbie, did you end up giving in and purchasing one?
