For the record, Sheath, I love sushi. And not the rolls, either. Just raw fish on rice patties.

This makes me smile, and want rice balls. But not as much as raw tuna, seaweed, cucumber and avacado and seasonded rice, with a smidge of self made wasabe.

[MrMatthews]

It's amazing how good raw fish can be, if it's prepared properly. Tuna is pretty fantastic, but I'm also a fan of yellowtail. My brother-in-law is something of a sushi connesour (however you spell it, psh...), and last time we went he thought to ask the waiter what kind of meats they had that wasn't on the menu. The guy brought out yellowtail belly, which had nice little veins of fat going through it. It was pretty tasty.

I don't think I've had anything like that. We've tried making sushi with tuna, salmon and artificial crab here at home, I pretty much only like the tuna.

Also, I just wanted to make sure that it was clear I was making fun of top ten lists and their requisite responses in the other thread.

So let me get this straight, the original story was about this boy who lives in Monsterland (located in Monsterworld)
and he saves the world from the Meka dragon, then it turns out the Meka dragon is actually a "Mecha" Dragon send from space,
so the boy (named Shion) then goes on another quest and eventually battles an evil alien who's trying to.. conquer earth or something.

so he beats the alien and is heralded as a hero, but then one day the hero disappears from his house and is never seen again. (possibly kidnapped by aliens)

then a while later this Arabian chick called Arsha hears someone calling for help and goes on a quest and eventually defeats the same alien
in an epic underground battle, thus saving the world. (but not Shion strangely enough)

so then this script writer is like "i'm gonna make a movie about that" and it becomes..



A forever young teenager and an immortal warlord quest for The Salamander Cross;
the one thing that will allow one to destroy the other for good.



That's like me making Mortal Kombat the movie and having it be about milk men.

[MrMatthews]

Today started out awesome. In the interest of saving money, I had deleted all my "saved searches" from my ebay account, so that I wouldn't get notifications of new listings each day. The idea was that I would save money because I wouldn't see the things that I wanted to spend money on.

Well, I cheated a little. I added a couple searches that were REALLY pressing, just in case a deal came up that I couldn't afford to miss.

And what do you know? One came up today. One of the rarest games on the GameBoy came up as part of a 9-game CIB bundle. I don't think the seller really knew what he had, otherwise he would have broken the bundle up and sold everything separately. So I bought the bundle for a price less than the current [perceived] value of the target game. Considering that I own only half of the remaining games, and I'll be able to sell off the remaining half to recoup some of the cost, it ended up being exactly the situation I was anticipating: something I couldn't afford to pass up.

Then I stepped outside to go to work, and the day went to shit. My truck was repo'd during the night. It seems that when the ex-wife filed bankruptcy a while back, my truck loan was packaged in with all the rest of her crap, since she was a cosigner. Because of this, they haven't been sending me bills or calling me to collect the monthly payments. So now I have to scramble to get together three months of payments, as well as a $400 repo fee. Then I have to go get my truck out of impound, and pay their fees.

Can't even work today. What a nightmare.

[NeoVamp]

Could be worse, you could have caught a nasty flu virus that during the course of 2 months made it so that every joint in your body stiffened up,
eventually crippling you to a point where you couldn't stand up or walk anymore, and ultimately leading to a temperature of 39.4'c
which eventually got you picked up by an ambulance and admitted to the hospital where they hooked you up to an IV for several days.

only to eventually recover and talk to your doctor who says "even after beating a virus like this it can take up to a year before the fatigue goes away"

All because you spend an entire year talking to that special person from your past but ultimately failing to reconcile,
but still losing so much energy from that year that the virus could easily strike when you're at your weakest.

It's a good thing I'm Europe based (and thus have nice insurance) or the admittance to the hospital would have cost me a pretty penny.

[Iron Lizard]

That fucking sucks. I hope you get your truck back. You do plumbing right?

[MrMatthews]

@Neovamp: ...

@Iron Lizard: Yeah. Fortunately, my company was cool enough to loan me some money, so now I'm undertaking the tedious process of getting cash to these bloodsuckers via Moneygram. They won't give me any information about the truck until I've wired them the money. Meanwhile, my truck is somewhere (hopefully) in the area, incurring storage fees.

[NeoVamp]

@Neovamp: ...

Yeah I was speechless too, laying there, pretty much dying, stupid family doctor never being there so I had to figure out who else to call.

Really in moments like those it really becomes clear how you can't really trust on doctors.

[QuickSciFi]

^I didn't get from your story that it was your Doctor's fault you caught this virus. :?

@At MrMatt: Man! Things keep coming at you from all angles. I was there before (in 2001). It took me several years to recover financially (heck, I'm still feeling a bit of that financial sting as we speak). But I tell you what, though. Things will get better; and the one thing that I recovered almost immediately was my Happiness. And that's what it's all about. Hang in there.

Probably because I never said such a thing, just that he was unreachable when I needed him.


Here in my country we don't just dial 911 with every cough we have, we contact our family doctor and discuss whats going on.

but said doctor was unreachable for many days, thus my frustration.

Believe it or not, I'm actually pretty unsinkable. My secret is to not think about my problems at all (not the healthiest attitude, I know). But I honestly can't remember any of the other things you might have been referring to, even though I'm sure I complained about them at some point.

I'll check WinCo next time I'm there. They always have weird stuff. Um... what is it? Is it a sandwich spread like mayo or mustard, or is something sweet that would be next to the jams, jellies, and peanut butter?

It's a byproduct of the fermentation process of beer grains. It's extremely high in salt of carries the umami flavor.

LOL, I was actually thinking of Friends when I made that post.

Rachel cooks something using two different recipes because, she finds out later, two pages are stuck together. Joey turns angrily and says, "Chandler!!"

[The Jackal]

Personally, I don't hate Friends, they just had it on so much over here that it was torture after a while; we don't get that many stations and when one of the best stations constantly flogs the show daily, for years on end - yeah, it would drive anyone insane. I might buy a boxset of it in a few years once it becomes a bad memory, though.

And was I the only one who hated this? :-

Friends is a staple in my household. My girlfriend and I have watched the whole series at least three times together (her, at least five times on her own). We bought the PS2 Friends trivia game. She wins every time, of course.

I'm upset that there isn't a video on Youtube of just the dragon fight in this game, that one fight totally makes the game.

[NeoVamp]

Yeah the Joey spinoff sucked balls, It really introduced a certain.. new lamer comedy style, which has since then been used in pretty much every sitcom they've made.

Can't really describe it, just a certain way of doing story angles, its all very predictable.

And now the final Joey and his Penguin Pal Pic.

I looked for that Vegemite stuff. Again, I don't even know where to look for it, so I just looked in the condiment isle. Struck out BIG TIME.

[QuickSciFi]

I'm pretty sure it's not in the condiment isle. I did the same when looking for Marmite a while back. It's either going to be in the foreign food isle, or in the broth/stock isle.

[M4R14NO94]

I've heard that Joey (the sitcom) was a load of crap. AFAIK they never aired it on Latin America, so I've yet to experience how bad it is.

And on the topic of lousy sitcoms, a few days ago for some reason I watched four episodes of Hot in Cleveland. In a row (albeit with a one hour break between the last two because TBS were airing something else in between -Web Therapy, coincidentally tying it into this post). I seriously don't know why, and I think that it's now turning into some sort of guilty pleasure.

Also the fact that I'm starting to think that Jane Leeves is pretty hot isn't helping at all. Hell, maybe that's why I watched it!

QuickSciFi: The Friends PS2 game was pretty good for a trivia game. 4-player's pretty good too.

They changed it's name in the UK to "Dragons Blood"; why I don't know. I've owned the game for years, only completed the first level and gave up with it; didn't like it much tbh.

So, is it a good game then, or just a bad one with some good stuff in it?

The story and lore within the world is awesome, but most importantly the fighting mechanic is second only to Golden Axe Beast Rider. The shield and sword interaction, along with the side step and roll mechanic makes the player entirely responsible for how the fights go. The first few levels seem sort of generic to me as well, but once the main story starts I think you'll be hooked. There are a ton of character upgrades and magic improvements along the way that you might be interested in as well. The boss fights don't exactly escalate, they're more dependent on the mission you are on, sometimes they are hard sometimes they are almost comically easy, but the final boss dragon fight is the best dragon fight I have ever played in a video game. On the Dreamcast the only thing better is the Zoddo the Immortal fight in Berserk.

The first time you go for them, they'll taste just like chicken tenders. You'll think they ripped you off until you go into the kitchen and see it for yourself. I like to eat mine at a Miccosukee indian reservation off-shoot recreational area called Billy Swamp Safari. It's kickass. :)

Once you remove all preconceived notion that "everything tastes like chicken", you'll get down to the real flavor: It's like chicken that was fed on fish. :D

It's all about choices, I suppose. I'd rather finish school ;).

[QuickSciFi]

Don't worry. You'll definitely not go over it again. Anything after that makes High School seem like wiping one's ass.

[QuickSciFi]

When I was in High School, I did all basic subjects, and because of that, I'm not allowed inside universities.

When I was a professor at my University, I taught all basic Biological Sciences subjects. And because of that, I allowed only those who aspired for betterment to be in my classroom.

[M4R14NO94]

I don't even have a TurboGrafx/PCE :)

If it weren't for both emulation (for HuCard games) and the Virtual Console (for CD-ROM games) I would have missed out on some awesome stuff.

[QuickSciFi]

What are you talking about? I couldn't do academic subjects in High School, even if wanted to, because I have a mild form of "Dyscalculia", and I would've failed.

Thanks. I shall add that to your multiple hernias that won't allow you to do any heavy lifting. :bull:

[MrMatthews]

Went to a thrift store today. Picked up Crazy Taxi for the Dreamcast for $1 after MUCH deliberation. They also had a boxed Colecovision and a boxed Expansion Module for $100 EACH. I came close to picking up a boxed Playstation for $25, tho. If it were literally ANY other system, I would have been all over it.

[QuickSciFi]

They must have a gamer in that thrift store to price-up a Colecovision for $100.

Do they happen to sell retro games on the side at that thrift store or something?

[The Jackal]

I came close to picking up a boxed Playstation for $25, tho. If it were literally ANY other system, I would have been all over it.

:huh: PS1 has many great games.

[QuickSciFi]

It's true. I have four hernias, and one of the four is tucked up near my right rib cage, and can't be removed. And as for math, I can add, subtract, multiply, and divide, and that's about it. Don't dare ever call me a liar, because I'm not lying.


I used to tell the smart asses in my class: "Don't try to outsmart your teacher; he'll always be a step ahead of you."

But in your case, I think I'll have to take it down a notch:

Very true. The system itself is worthless though. Being in a box only makes it relatively worthless.

Hmm... I suppose if I'd opened it up and found it complete & minty, with all the original packing and paperwork, that would be kinda cool.

[QuickSciFi]

Do I have to get a note from my family doctor, and scan it to prove it to you? I HAVE FOUR HERNIAS. The biggest one is in my groin, but something tells me you wouldn't want to see a picture of that.

I can't do academic math, period. I remember getting one decent mark on a algebra test in the 8th grade, and I'm not even sure how I got that. Geometry makes no sense. To this day, I have no idea what Area & Parameter are.

You can call me a liar all you want, but I'm not lying.

So then you lied. Surely mowing the lawn requires more than 10 pounds of force.

[QuickSciFi]

Eddie. I'm probably the best friend you'll ever have in these forums (and I mean it). But surely you know this conversation was over two pages ago, right?

[QuickSciFi]

You know that's not going to happen. I love you though.

[QuickSciFi]

[DarkDragon]

Eddie, you are too honest to a fault. The problem is you reveal too much about yourself and you dont know when to hold back. You seem like a pretty smart guy so I predict a bright future for you. Good luck.

[MrMatthews]

Ah, the high road, I see.

And what will you say about it tomorrow? "I can't go back to Sega-16 because they pick on me there."

Excuses, Eddie. It's the same as lying, only in this case you're lying to yourself.

[QuickSciFi]

If Eddie only knew all this is for his own good.

It's tough love. As soon as you said you were a professor, I knew where you were coming from.

I really have no sympathy for nonsense. I grew up in a totalitarian regime. From age 10 to 14, I would go hungry for weeks at a time, having to hunt doves and other wild game on my own just to acquire some protein for myself and my younger brother. I'd rummage through fallen airplane tires to make for a sling shot, and would use old batteries for scrap as their lead would suffice for pellets. I'd carry the lead pieces I had hammered into pellets in my mouth in the hunt at 6:30am, because I couldn't even afford pockets. I later had to travel with my father through five other different third world countries for four months to escape this, evading military guerillas through mountains at gun point; only to be handcuffed at age 14 to my own father and put in jail for four days for the crime of being an immigrant in the United States. I was the tallest kid in my classroom at age 14 and, yet, a mere 85 pounds from the starvation I suffered. My father had to go back twenty years in his medical profession and re-study everything to re-validate his Medical License while working two jobs to bring-over the rest of my family (my brother, mother and two sisters). For years, I walked miles to school and back, because I couldn't even afford the bus fare. I've had to work two-to-three jobs at a time just to get myself through High School, my A.A. Degree, a Bachelors, a Masters Degree and now a Doctorate.

Sorry, but imaginary hernias haven't yet been written-off as cause for laziness in my physical medicine compendium. Some of it does belong in my psychiatry books, though. :?

[QuickSciFi]

I just had to put it out there for anyone who thinks mongering on welfare to purchase video games and frozen Pizzas is healthy living (mentally, physically, or otherwise). :?

But yeah, we've done alright for ourselves; and not without hard work and dedication.

[EDIT] P.S.> Even though you were just kidding, don't ever confuse a "man who is poor" for a "poor man"; two completely different individuals they are. If the former values his studies, works hard and makes something of himself; it's only the latter for whom you'd have to feel sorry.
