This stupid part of HL2 Episode 2 is making me mad... I have to beat off like 10 striders at once while protecting a base. If they get close enough to the base, I loose.
It's so freakin hard!

It was really annoying because my devices kept falling off of the striders...

But yeah... kill the hunters first :P

EDIT: Why did I wake up at 2AM?

The hardest part is trying to kill the hunters by running them over because it takes too long to kill them with weapons and the fact that if you try to shoot the magnussion device at the striders the hunters will shoot them and you have to go on the other side of the level to get another.

Lol, what I did was I waited at the main base and had a stash of mangussion devices, and I'd hide behind rocks and try to shoot them at the striders :p

That part was fun. I remember I was trying to hit one of them, but I overshot. Luckily I got the one behind it.

OMFG, I feel like a complete retard... I went to my friends house with my laptop so we could help each other with this project we had to do on Super Size Me, the vid we watched in Life Skills. So while I'm over there, we decide to make a slide in our powerpoints about the foods you can get in fast food restaurants, and I try to joke around a little.

I put "salads" as one of the foods, and while Frankie's in the bathroom, I put in parentheses, "UN****INGHEALTHY" next to salads. When he comes back, he laughs at it and we go back to work, and I go to the next slide forgetting about what I wrote.

So I finish and email it to my teacher, and today in class she tells me there was something I needed to edit, and when I get home I check my email and she tells me to edit the part about the salads so it's appropriate for the whole class.

I reopen the file and see that, and holy crap, you don't know how much of a dumb ass I feel like right now. I just hope she won't forward that to my parents. In fact, I should go check their emails and delete unnecessary things right now :twisted:

Quite true.
I'm just going to ignore it, it's really no big deal, at least I got voted to the finals :) I didn't really expect that to happen.

Were there the astrics there, or did you actually have a swear word?


And yeah we have that "Best Personality" "Best Smile" "Best clothes" crap in our yearbook as well. Never been in there myself though,

I'm pissed because I lost my password for my steam account. I have to wait till my bro gets home for him to help me.

Well, I guess I won't be on steam for a while now.

Now I'm no doctor, but I don't think the positive aspects of braces outweigh not being able to properly brush your teeth, the ripping up of your gums and the other random asortments of pain they so happily provide.

You can brush properly if you work at it.
Oh, and use Equate Anti-Cavity flouride rinse. Mint flavor. It actually doesn't feel like your mouth is exploding, and it does help.

Yeah Kirk, it was the actual swear word. Good thing she's like a hippy and loves everything because she loves nature and recycling and healthy bodies an all, because if she wasn't like that she would've kicked my ass. :lol:

My new rant: MOTHER****ING CANKER SORE!! EVERY SECOND OF MY LIFE, THIS STUPID CANKER SORE RUINS IT!!! THE FACT THAT MY BRACES JUT OUT AND CAN EASILY CHOMP DOWN ON IT WHILE I'M EATING DOESN'T HELP AT ALL!!1 AND THE NEW REMBRANDT TOOTHPASTE IS (I think) LESS EFFECTIVE THAN THE OLD, SO MORE CANKER SORES FOR ME! YAY!!!!!! *head explodes*
