Nini Heart Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 I wear glasses for the wrong reasons. I used to spend too much time playing MMOs between 15-17 so it fucked up my eyes, and I had some sort of weird things goin on with my eyes, like flashing, etc, so I got glasses for when i'm on the screen. I don't use them anymore since I don't get that anymore lol.
Sophisticat Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 I don't want to tell you who to vote for Not Harper. or who not to vote for Harper. ----- Hi5 for following the news! Nice to see I'm not the only one who keeps up with news/politics (and maybe the markets? I think I'm the only one here interested in that, lol).
pochp Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Hi5 for following the news! Nice to see I'm not the only one who keeps up with news/politics (and maybe the markets? I think I'm the only one here interested in that, lol). Yeah, although that was mostly for teh lulz, I tend to read the Metro when I use public transit, and sometimes I discuss the stuff with my parents. I don't go out of my way to read different sources, compare viewpoints in order to form my own enlightened opinion. However my mother just finished her MBA and has been working in finance, so I do hear stuff about the market every now and then, but there are a lot of things she is just NOT ALLOWED to tell us @Nini : that sounds O.O I use to play a lot of MMOs too but never got that, guess I'm lucky... although, well, I didn't need to wear glasses before... (both my parents have horribad eyesight, one of my uncles had glasses before he learned to walk, so I don't really think there was anything I could do about it) @Eb : great. I'm now tentatively hype. which is why I'm using periods instead of exclamation marks we gotta get those converters though, I blame nolan for the delay
Sophisticat Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Keeping up with news is always a good thing. :] [...] my mother just finished her MBA and has been working in finance, so I do hear stuff about the market every now and then, but there are a lot of things she is just NOT ALLOWED to tell us :O Everyone's got their price. What's hers? ... Though I'm going to guess that stuff's probably insider things which, yeah, she's better off not telling at any cost (note of interest: insider trading is way more prevalent than anyone would like to admit). Regulators can be such bastards. Hmm... Check your PM.
AirMaster Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 I'll be at foonzo friday. When is LK coming over again?
Sophisticat Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 ^ He'll hang around for the 21st - 24th of April.
Brice Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 i'm doing my student newspaper right now, and i want to die.... i'm making the journal BY MYSELF AND COMPLETELY ALONE in the cegep.... fml. i'm on it since 1pm today and didn't really stop. on a brighter note who's going thursday to HQ??? and please, if you could bring a 5$ with exact money when you come to hq, it would be awesome, i don't like running after people poking them while they game asking if they paid or if they have they're entry fee on them. and i clearly don't want cranky talking to me about people not paying, i'd hate that don't forget HQ sells monthly membership also, if you don't want the 5$ entry fee... can't wait to play BB and GG this week :3 after looking at my games against nini i'm starting to see where i miss and other stuff... XD
Nini Heart Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Not ganna make it to HQ this week. School + being broke
pochp Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Not ganna make it to HQ this week. School + being broke lol how do you always end up so broke. Some of us have to improve our mixups/pressure/salt/execution/inputs/neutral/salt/mindgames/matchups/salt, looks like your weak point is "being broke". School is cool though, don't school>bb. @Brice : Yarr I don't have class thursday I'll be there as early as you open up (and I get up). Must play GG haven't played in a month I don't care if It's pad... we also gotta play AH3 I can confirm into these sick tentacle combos now, been playing the score attack because I can't get good connections online Oh BB too, and I gotta practice mah commentating skills. Might as well get there early eh...
BladeOfJustice7 Posted March 30, 2011 Author Posted March 30, 2011 Thursday is doubtful for me, 95% chance if I make it thursday it means I'm single:( Sunday is for sure. I wanna record A LOT. EBERE V.S PEDRO DICTATORSHIP V.S DEMOCRACY K.B + BRICE COMMENTARY GET HYPE.
unsanctifier Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Lol I love that video "Not Harper" eh? Just a question for ya, who else are you going to vote for? The Liberals being led by a person who, in a political view, is a complete moron? Jack Layton who - may be a nice enough guy but has one of the hugest parts in causing another election so soon despite being given offers from Harper. Even if that didn't happen because of him, he will never get enough support. Just saying, this election is just another battle for majority.
Sophisticat Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Just for future reference, if I don't explicitly say I'm going, assume I won't be there. So yeah, won't be there this Thursday. Hope you guys can pick up good vids, though. :]
Sophisticat Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Just a question for ya, who else are you going to vote for? Honestly, all the parties are lacking. The only outcome we can't have is Harper getting a majority. That's just... unthinkable for the direction Canada would take. He is NOT the kind of leader you want for Canada. He would be a good candidate for the US presidency, but he's much too crafty and secretive for the common Canuck. So what's left? Layton and Ignatief. If I had to go with the lesser of two evils, it'd have to be Layton. However, the question is whether or not Layton has what it takes. He's a sensible guy that comes off as honest, but who knows if he has the experience necessary. The Conservatives do have one good thing going for them: they're performers. Despite Harper being Harper, they get shit done. Unfortunately, it comes at the cost of Harper's vision. Now, you say that Layton's to blame for creating the election. This is only partly true. If you look at the situation as a whole, Harper was the one who orchestrated the setup for the elections to take place with a budget that satisfies no one. He believes he now has enough support from Canadians to get a majority -- and he's partly right what with the other parties lacking -- so he gunned for it. So this election is more about getting Harper out and shuffling the leaders of the opposition parties. Once Ignatief is out, we might see something good out of the Liberals. But until then, they aren't up to snuff. Verdict: Layton's the go-to guy. He's pretty much the face of the NDP by now, so the party isn't much without him just like the ADQ isn't much without Mario Dumont. He represents stability at this point in time. However, the strategy here would be to get Layton into a minority government as a setup to switch out Harper and Ignatief (Gilles Duceppe will bail the moment Marois gives up the PQ what with the up-coming PQ elections). If Layton performs, he'll eventually get a majority. If not, a stronger leader will step up and take the crown (though this is unlikely. The Libs are talking of propping up Justin Trudeau as a puppet-leader for the popularity factor. Also, the Conservatives are unlikely to have anyone who can equal Harper atm. More minority gov can be expected in the future. *sigh*). So, vote Layton, not to vote for him, but to vote for a change in Canadian politics. Unfortunately, the expected outcome is perhaps Harper getting a minority again (or, God forbid, a majority). It's too bad Harper's the kind of guy he is, he would have made a fine Canadian PM otherwise.
AirMaster Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Thing that sucks about my county, no matter who I vote for, the Bloc wins here. Since my deputee is Gilles Duceppe and all...fml. I won't be there thursday, but I'll be there sunday for sure and I'll bring my godlike shit talking with me.
unsanctifier Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 I like Harper just for the reasons you said. Him and the Conservatives get shit DONE. Layton will never get into office, he is actually the person I support myself. But I feel like until everyone else gets the message (I bet thousands of people feel the same way) it just won't happen. I will also never support Iggy, he was NOT meant for politics.
Sophisticat Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 I would not be so sure that he'll never make it into office. If there's ever been a time for him to make it, it's right now. Among all the leaders of the major parties, he's the most stable one. People don't like Harper and Iggy, as you say, should stay in the classroom. Duceppe? Who gives a fuck about him if you're not a Quebecer? If Layton can come out on top on this one (which is a very real possibility), he'll get a minority gov. The real question is whether he can turn that into a majority. At the very least, he's got a shot.
unsanctifier Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 I would love to see Layton in office. He would get minority. Do very well then get a majority when the next election comes around.

I will also never support Iggy, he was NOT meant for politics. Layton lacks regionality in his votes, that's what kills the NDP. Canada's focus goes around regionalism, and the NDP don't a specific region they could count on like the Bloc. So yea it's doubtful he'll ever get in, unless they change and rebuild their marketing strategy around being regional centric. Which I'm now sure how to go about such a thing, if it can be done at all.
pochp Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 @Eb : Brice isn't the hypest commentator yet. He fits the role of the guy close to the mic being really hype though, so that's good enough. I say you force nini to get mic #1, I say whoever feels like taking mic #2 takes it. If no one wants it, I will commentate while playing. Can't wait to shout stuff like "fuck I can't react to overhead zangetsu I'm so retarded." @Politics : I'm going to have to check out my county's "history" before making my choice. I think it's almost always been Bloc, but depending by how much, I might lend my vote to either them, to keep the conservatives out, or the liberals/npd if they have a chance. If it's 95% bloc I might end up voting npd or green, or even pirate if they have a deputy in our county. @Airmaster : lol, I guess having duceppe is like wtf why should I go, unless I want to slightly scare him or something see you sunday then. @Eb#2 : isn't npd rather strong in BC?
kirbster Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 I'll be there Thursday. Nolan, any word on those converters? Unsanc, better practice that Tekken real hard before coming here. On topic : LE QUÉBEC C'EST LE PLUS BEAU PAYS AU MONDE ROFLOL
pochp Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Him and the Conservatives get shit DONE. Okay I gotta correct you here, I missed this. The conservatives don't get shit done, they put their name on shit that gets done anyways. @Kirbster : ooh shit toi tu pratique ton tekken? jme suis rappellé mes bnbs lautre jour au foonzo en attendant mon tour, ça ma primé à y rejouer a moment donné, ma l'ammener jeudi. get mini hype.
Nini Heart Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Who ever doesn't like Professor Layton is a fucken retard. I'm just gonna throw it out there. Prof Layton gets shit done.
pochp Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Lol I finally decide to learn some better captain america combos, and I even have a dhc damage scaling reset glitch in my team (storm>morrigan). Too bad morrigan's damage bonus from that is kinda low, still 400ish is usually gonna be enough to finish the job. Gonna try to blow up some people at this game eventually. @Eb : L-shield slash I TK, the others @Nini : lol hadn't thought of that one. Gonna stay home tomorrow (as in Wednesday), just have some labs to do. If anyone wants to play online in the afternoon or later, let me know over here.
unsanctifier Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 I don't think I even need to practice anymore Kirbster! What do you think of THAT. (Also I really do need to practice)
