it is quite addictive... makes mew ant to play portal now just to get every little nuance of the song.

Enter your suck up comments now to try and convince me to let you have it!

Seriously though, I will be donating it/giving it as a gift. I have about five or six candidates, so I will likely post with my final decision in about a week. Later days, and thanks to Jason for running the contest... never thought I would win, hence the lack of a ready picked recipient.

Awww, way to go dudes! I love the effort.

I know I sure am feeling the start of the crunch. Just got to keep pushing at it though, I am in solid shape for once due to my getting some work done ahead. Now post generic comments of encouragement!

Welcome to the club. It is a very crowded club nowadays, but welcome just the same. :)

The phrase "shove a cork in it" gets thrown around way too often nowadays... but it seems appropriate in this situation.

That is truly incredible, and they deserved to win that contest they were in for how well they did this. Just awesome.

Yeah I suppose it was pretty neat all in all... now to get some hot chick who is all wowed. Yeah, that ain't gonna happen! ;)

The other day I was in a Microplay (local game store), and someone was buying Ogre Battle from the used game set (too bad I did not see it, I so would have bought it and EBayed it due to the SNES version being rare in the wild). The guy behind the counter said it is a good game, but rather tough to get through without help, and he followed it up by recommending my FAQ to the guy.

So I strolled over and mentioned I wrote the FAQ, to which I got told off for lying! Quite amusing to hear it, so I slapped down some I.D., and the guy behind the counter did a near double take (which is really funny, I am just crazy internet FAQ writer guy, not someone important to warrant such a reaction), and he then shook my hand and said his discount was mine whenever I wanted it.

Too bad they overprice nearly everything in those stores, but still pretty cool just the same.

Yeah, the whole process involved is quite neat... I am learning a lot of stuff that makes total sense, but without the heads up I never would have realized them. As for guide writing, it is technical writing (by my count anyway), but such an odd branch of it only some of the skills pass over to the trained tech writing.

I have decided to do technical writing, and I have never felt such a good fit with my school subjects before. It is definitely something I can not only do for the rest of my life, but something I would want to do for the rest of my life.

is an odd sensation after 28 months of working, but I can honestly say I have not been this happy since about 2002 (when I went back to school after taking a year off to work). However, the reason I am s happy this time is that I am finally into a program that I enjoy, and it is something I know I will thrive at. Instead of dreading class and forcing myself out the door, I am now eager to get to school, wanting to learn something new about some programs I am working in, or a new way to conceptualize my approach to writing, or just see a bunch of my friends (never had that level of interaction with classmates before).

All in all, I would not trade my time at university for anything else, but I wish I had known about this program a couple years earlier at Algonquin College, as this is what I was meant to do.

Well, EB0 is more DW style of RPG (which is a turn off for some), but it still has that offbeat and somewhat whacky approach to it (just recently, I ran across a guy in the game who told me to not assume he was just an ordinary man, even though in fact he is an ordinary man). It also has the most massive dungoens I have ever seen on a NES game (Duncan Factory and the Rosemary Mansion coming to mind, as they both have huge areas to explore, though the Mansion is a bit frustrating in how a lot of it looks the same and most rooms are empty).

Perhaps the biggest frustration though is the uneven challenge from foes, as you can be cleaning the clock of foes in one area, but when you enter the next enemy range, they suddenly begin to clean your clock without mercy. That said, I highly enjoyed it this past spring when I played through it, so much so I decided to write it and I am not regretting playing through it again. Also, although it is a NES game, the musical range of the game is phenomenal and really adds to the experience.

EB is superior, but it has some of the bumpy parts of the original smoothed out due to experience, so of course it should be better.

I am going to post here and say what up, how are ya, welcome to this page. I am a FAQ writer for sure, and I just keep on chugging along.

SO why are you on this page anyway? How did you end up here? If you could leave a response it would be much appreciated. Anyway, thought I would put something in here after leaving it so long, just so it would not be quite so bare.
