Impatiently waiting for...
- SMBX EVENT
- MY SUBMISSIONS TO BE ACCEPTED (KENTONA SHOULD HIRE MORE LIKE SOLITAYRE!)
- CHRISTMAS
Oh yeah, I'm also waiting for the 4th "Fall" podcast
Your article kind of sucks in many ways and we are debating what you need to change for it to be accepted.

Are idiots everywhere?!

I had to exlplain to someone that King George and George Washinton were 2 different people. I also had to explain to the same person that Thomas Jefferson was a patriot, not British (American Revolution). This probably won't make sense to a lot of people because it's solely USA stuff.

Much editing may be needed.

AT WORK I was asked by a senior programmer how to define an Integer.

Well, everybody would know those 2 are different people, unless they 're from the South...

...and now I'm thinking that you're kinda creepy. :x
>n> Wow, that sure IS creepy.

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

Actually, he wasn't a patriot. Since, you know, they were all British at the time, so the patriots were the people loyal to their actual country of Britain. The Americans weren't patriots, they were rebels.

Thinking George Washington was a king is hilarious, though.

Today I spent a whole hour teaching someone on my course how to use the equation of a straight line.

Remember when I actually used to make games? Me neither.

After watching Hunger Games, I'm just wondering:
Why isn't there a sports something like Hunger Games? I'm not saying that some youth should be taken to arena so they can fight to death, but I'd want to see some wacky laser tag fights on TV.

Instead, we get jarheads ramming into each other.

I have Majora's Mask for emulator. It's pretty interesting when you have a cheat that let's you levitate at anytime! Even while swimming or in the middle of cutscenes.

That would actually be pretty awesome. Some sort of pseudo war games - things like laser-tag, paintball or even snowball forts. Better than other sports. :/

Nothing reveals Humanity so well as the games it plays. A game of betrayal, where the most suspicious person is brutally murdered? How savage.

Let's all lobby paintball into the Olympics! :D

Sadly, laser tag and paintball don't fit cleanly in the category of Olympic Sports. Which is unrelated to the category of Actual Sports. I'm not really sure what kind of sport laser tag is, really.

Sports categories
Fake Sports: Non-athletic competitions. Chess, Starcraft, Debate, American Idol, Magic: The Gathering
Olympic Sports: Athletic competitions that are raw displays of physical ability. Gymnastics, Shotput, Triathalon, Swimming, Bobsledding
Real Sports: Athletic competitions that involve getting a ball past a line that's behind the other team. Soccer, Baseball, Hockey, Tennis, Basketball.

I guess laser tag is actually closest to an olympic sport, but your success is based on the other team's defense, not just your own ability, which ensures that it'll never be accepted. :(

Racewalking made it into the Olympics, so I guess anything's possible. XD

Where do sports where you compete against yourself come in? Like golf?

Also, I wouldn't call dressage, archery and shooting raw displays of physical ability, but they´re Olympic sports nonetheless.

Ugh... Water Polo is an olympic sport. I'd put it up down there with racewalking.

Shrug. I'm waiting too.
3 days left. How scary. (Although not at all likely to happen.)
@Slashphoenix
Haha, I see what you did there! Also, I can't help but think of Ben when I think of Majora's Mask.
