It's a much more efficient way of getting up the stairs.

The depression about school has worn off, and I'm kinda excited, but I'm still a bit nervous. The bus is almost here (bleh, one hour of a ride), so I have to go. Seeya after my first day. :/

Indeed.

I have it, it's moderately acceptable, though I enjoyed the PC versions more, although I did play them long ago, when I was impressionable.

k?..

What did that have to do with what I said? If you're such a fan of the game, how are you just hearing about the XBLA game, 13 months after it was released? =x

Also, rofl:

This isn't a country, a state, a government, whatever. You agree to the rules when you post on this forum.

h3l10s wrote:Since ip address 209.85.107.40 (halomods) is located in Dallas Texas and halomods.com was registered in Tucson Arizona, BOTH locations within The United States of America, the entity is bound by law to support and enforce the laws and the constitution of said country. You are LEGALLY bound to uphold and to NOT bridle those laws. As a representative of said entity, you are also LEGALLY bound for any and all actions carried out under your management because of your decisions. I sincerely hope that you desist from carrying out this censorship of my comments.

Also, you agreed, when you registered on the site, that you would abide by the rules of the site as dictated by the administration. You waived your ability to disobey the rules. So yeah, nice try with the laws, but no. Directly from the agreement you have to make as the first step in creating an account:
You agree not to post any abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, sexually-oriented or any other material that may violate any applicable laws. Doing so may lead to you being immediately and permanently banned (and your service provider being informed). The IP address of all posts is recorded to aid in enforcing these conditions. You agree that the webmaster, administrator and moderators of this forum have the right to remove, edit, move or close any topic at any time should they see fit.
So yes, we are fully qualified to censor you, because you personally signed over that right to us.

And this was all said by him after he's been calling the users ignorant for having an opinion about an application. He went through all of this, blatant flaming included, because some people didn't like Google Chrome.

I love internet drama.
