Good evening!
« on: December 16, 2009, 04:30:06 PM »
This is Arnox as you can see and I am here to just test the waters out on this forum. I will probably be staying though so there you go. Btw, how can I insert an image on my computer into a post here?

Our upload folder is full, so you'll have to use a different host.

I am not.

My reply was going to be a long rant about how important new blood is to a community with a loose affiliation and lots of tenured members throwing around a bunch of inside jokes.

Sheesh.  Get the fuck off my lawn... damn kids.

17, live in US and really like computer/video games and dragons. :-D I'm also a technophile. I'm about your standard geek I think... with some morals though, I don't like pr0n or swearing for example because I think its degrading, blah, blah, blah. But don't worry, I won't say anything at all about it if you guys do it so its cool. I also watch a fair amount of movies. That's about it.

Hmmm, what are "coolio points?" Also, i just read 6 pages or so of "Lets bitch about our jobs" thread and some of you say that periods of doing nothing is extremely annoying. HOW IS THAT SO?! You must have a half-way decent laptop right? Install some games on it, bring it to work and have fun. Better yet, if your co-workers are also gamers, have a LAN party.

Hmmm, what are "coolio points?"
Coolio Points are a throwback to a now defunct site that many of us used to frequent.  They were a means of rewarding people for winning games - designed and moderated by yours truly - whereby I could award an arbitrary reward size without costing me any actual dollars.  The value of Coolio Points compared to Regular Old Pointless Points fluctuated based on the career status of Coolio (the chef/actor/singer/all-around cool dude).

For example, learning that Coolio would participate in an MMA fight against Eric Martinez would have made Coolio Points increase in value.

Then, the recent cancellation of that MMA fight and the accompanying headline would have plummeted the value of Coolio Points as compared to Pointless Points.

It's against company rules.

To which you say, "lol that totally sucks, I would get another job where I can play games on my laptop!"

And I say, "Yes, I considered that option, but that's easier said than done. I'm lucky to be employed at all."

And you say, "Oh, jeepers, Mr. ivan, I had no idea being all grown up is so sucky."

And I just nod and walk away in a futile attempt to mask the roiling despair rising in my gourd as the full import of my desolute and meaningless life sinks in and blackens my soul to its very roots, killing all that is bright and lovely in this world and leaving a wasteland of agony wherein even a simple game on a cheap laptop while I'm waiting for the server to reboot is beyond my most fervent dreams.

Never grow up, kiddo.

Heh... play a game at work in this economy when I have a family to support on my income alone.

I worry about my boss walking up behind me and seeing this site on my screen more than a couple times a week.

Lmao No, I would say: "Gee wizzers Ivan, why didn't you get a job that you really enjoy?" and also, "Gee wizzers Ivan, if there really is nothing to do at all for a long time and your boss knows this yet still does not let you play games then your boss has a trash compacter for a butt-hole."

Well, the real story is -- I enjoy my job almost all the time, and I hate playing games on laptops.

Except of course for this: http://www.atksolutions.com/games/kakuro.html
