When the *edited* did this thread become about *edited*ing pigs…
I’m sorry, but when was it not about *edited*ing pigs?

No Ephraim, nobody wants to play that with you.
Oh, me and my friends used to play that all the time in High School. More accurately, I’d play it and my friends would just kinda watch from across the room.
Wait, what were we talking about?
Liquid, that is a truly frightening avatar.
Oh, btw: is anybody *edited*ed off that a few peope broght their own arcade pads and used them in the tournaments?
I believe in the pope. I mean, I beat him up in Assassin’s Creed 2. Hahahaha!
Seriously though, religous tolerance…
I have a feeling people didn’t want to haul their PCs through the snow. The weather may have also kept the alumni from coming.
Attendance is up. There were some questions about the attendance sheet (people not signing, people signing more than once, ext.) so it’s likely to be updated soon.
I made it to the semi-finals in BlazBlue. Feelin’ pretty good about that. All three tournaments, it took the winner or runner up to beat me. *smarmy*
/facepalm
I always put this up ahead of time to make it easier to update o the day of the LAN. It’s just that I didn’t think to lock it this time.

There isn’t a magical *edited* fairy that flies around and casts the Homosexual Level 3 spell on people. That spell must be bought from Adria on the outskirts of town.
lol new Hero Class.
Seriously though, I think it’s probably mostly genetic with a touch of learned behavior.

She still supports abstinence only education after her teen daughter got knocked up.
Sarah Palin is not Bristol Palin. Just because her daughter screwed up, does nt mean Sarah Palin has to reverse her position. If she were to change a public policy because of a single example of teenage pregnancy, that wouldmake her look mighty weak.
On the subject of teleprompters: Big *edited*ing deal. It’s a valid public speaking instrament used by most newscasters and politicians. I don’t havea problem with Obama using it; nor do I have a problem with Palin using it.
On the subject of intelligence: Give some credible reasons why Palin is unintelligent or GTFO.
I do not consider myself a Palin supportner. Nor do I consider myself a Palin detractor. I find her interesting and worth watching. At this moment in time, she is the only conservative politician who is a genuine rock star. Add to this the fact that her autobiography sold more copies in a month than most politicians sell in a decade, and you have the makings of a bright future on the American political scene.
Perhapse more than anything, I find her detractors facsinatingly horrible; they’re just so hateful. There has to be something more to it than just disagreeing with her policies. I believe it is actual hatred. She represents something to the far left that enrages them: she is a succesful, prominant, conservative woman. This equation confuses and frightens them. They come up with the craziest nonsense to take her on. I remember, back during the campaign, Alan Colmes questioned whether she took proper care of her baby while it was still in the womb. It’s hard to get much lower than that.
Even her more moderate detractors scrape the bottom of the barrel. I rarely bring up Palin in conversation. Usually, somebody just wants to bash her, so they start the topic. Whenever the subject of Sarah Palin is raised, someone in the room always spouts some crap like “She’s a reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetard!” To that, my response is: “Do you have any valid criticisms to make, or are you just going to stick with the mindless personal attacks? What’s that? Nothing else? Then you have nothing of value to add to the conversation. Stop talking.” It seems to be common knowledge that McCain lost because of Palin. Never mind that, after he nominated her, his polls soared for several weeks. Never mind that McCain had great difficulty endearing himself to the conservative base of the Republican party and Palin actually started to repair that issue. No, she wrecked his campaign. This nonsense really gets on my nerves. Once, I told somebody that her autobiography was #1 on the Amazon Book List, to which he actually replied: “She just got all her crazy fans to buy it. It’s not hard to be #1 on Amazon.” You can’t make this *edited* up.
What these people don’t seem to understand, is that every time they detract from her, she winds up stronger than before.
I’d like to give Arcana Hearts a try. It’s cool that we get to play Japan-only fighting-games at the LANs. Look closely enough and you’re bound to find something interesting at one of our events.
