Hey
« on: December 22, 2008, 01:09:00 PM »
Hi all, I just graduated from college and decided that I need to get back to my roots.

Let's see, my geek resume:

  • Recovered gaming addict. Duke Nukem, Quake & Action Quake 2, Diablo, Warcraft, Starcraft, etc.
  • Avid reader of science fiction. Asimov, Clarke, OSC, 'nuff said.
  • Fan and composer of Electronica/IDM/Braindance (I hate genre labels). Favorites: Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Bochum Welt, Boards of Canada.
  • Film major in college. Teaching myself 3D animation and editing. Film geek, through and through.

Now that you've read (skipped) through that annoying list, one last thing: Hello!!11!

Cool.

So now I guess you have to start some kind of career, get married, move to the suburbs and get all fleshy around the midsection.

Do you have a problem reading Orson Scott Card knowing what a colossal douchebag he is?

Cherubim is plural; Genesis 3:24 specifies one flaming sword. Presumably flaming swords were in short supply."

I don't really pay attention to what he's done personally. I know he's a Mormon, and that he tends to pimp his religion at times, but Ender's Game tops the list for me.

Well, he wrote Ender's Game when he was 3 and a half years old. He didn't become a douche until high school.

So are you a Mod 2 Adder, a Black Adder, a Puff Adder, or just an all-around, general purpose Adderall?

The individual math jokes might be nothing to crow about, but there's a cumulative effect.

  Some of them might make you seem obtuse; but you know you don't really care when it's acute girl like Detta.

Welcome.

Would you rather be stranded on an island with cannibals or with a mad scientist bent on using for experimentation?

That all depends on what type of experiments he had in mind. The sexy kind?

Mad scientist, because there'd only be one enemy on the island. Depending on the size and layout of the island, I'd have a better chance at hiding. I couldn't take myself seriously against a pack of rabid cannibals.

Who said anything about rabid? Maybe they are polite cannibals with good table manners.

Good table manners or not, I'd still take the scientist.

Oh yeah, and to answer your question, 12AX7, I am all kinds of Adder.

Time to scoot over to the real forums and start being social. See you all there.
