Probably Sacred Stones, and yeah that one is as good as any. It has a fun side mode besides the main game where you can just mess around and kill monsters.

I'm kinda upset at jumping the gun on a 3ds. It sits on its charging dock most of the time. 3d land was fun, but nothing else really appeals to me.

Probably helps that I never played the DS so I have a ridiculous amount of options in terms of BC, but even if it was just 3DS games I feel like the variety is there.

LoZ: OoT plays great on it.
Resident Evil Revelations is a great game.
Super Mario 3D Land.
Kid Icarus

That's just off the top of my head. Upcoming titles look good.

I played some SMT: Devil Survivor 2 and that shit made me rage though (DS)

My elementary school prepared for war when my mom stopped by. They made sure to be prepared to prove a point if some shit ever broke off, because of how involved she was. I'm talking basically PTA level of involvement.

They know my sisters, and my mom by name. They once rolled up their 3 deep and got shit done. Cause the schools will say some shit just to get off their cause and not follow up. My sister will take off work and monitor my nephews whole class, taking notes and shit.

I remember in the 3rd or 4th grade one of the worst kids in our class had his mom monitor the class in an effort to get him to straighten up. He went from complete distraction to dead silent. Problem being he still wasn't learning anything cause he hadn't been paying atteention all year and now he was focusing all his energy on shutting the fuck up.

Rumor went around that a few weeks later at parent/teacher meeting she straight up choke slammed the teacher, Turned out she "only" hit her with a chair, source awards style.

http://blogs.indiewire.com/shadowandact/ - A blog dedicated to Black (Black diaspora, not just American Black films) films. Indiewire in general is really good too (http://www.indiewire.com/blogs)

http://www.slashfilm.com/ - You're not going to find anything intellectually deep or well written here, seeing as it's pretty much the Kotaku of film blogs, but it's fairly wide reaching with its content and quick in its ability to report industry news.

http://twitchfilm.com/ - Film blog that focuses on Asian films, as well as more Indie or film that are "out there."

http://www.comingsoon.net, http://www.aintitcool.com (site design is atrocious but the content is great), http://www.firstshowing.net and http://www.deadline.com/hollywood are great too.

Aintitcool isn't what it used to be. It really went down the toilet when Moriarty left, he was the only sane person they had.

It still puts up a lot of stuff I'm interested in that goes untouched on other sites I frequent, so it serves its purpose in that regard.

http://latino-review.com is okay too.

It was at its best pre Star Wars episode 1, some of the memes the talk back created back then were legendary (Grando Calrision, Real Dragons are intelligent and can talk....). Back then they used to have big leaks reported to the site.

Is this too old a song to be intimate to?



I'll go against the grain and say that the second is better, if you keep the type color the same. Since it's such a cool hue, it's in harmony with the Adidas but not with the Nike shoe and that throws the balance off.

If you want both kinds of shoe, you could darken the type, at least 100 (first) or 90 (second) percent black. 80 percent is about as light as you can go without it looking too close to the Adidas' color scheme and too far off from the Nike's. I really like the one with two Adidas, but if you feel like there's too little variety, you could move the two shoes next to one another (third). That way, they look more like a pair of shoes rather than just two separate bookends.

I also don't have that font, so the type here is just expanded vectors from a print screen

I originally had it black then I remembered lots of people have the dark theme.

We were both hired about a year ago as temps. But they got her through some service that is real dumb.

They paid me 10/hour and her 18/hour plus 8/hour to the service for a year. She is rude as hell and is oblivious to it and snitches like crazy for petty shit.

She once brought our supervisor and another employee in a room to say the employee was working too slow despite the employee training her and basically doing both of their jobs.

She never really liked me cause people would request me on projects much more often than her because she was slow and rude as fuck. She got wind of this when an employee took shit off her desk to give to me and said they needed it done that day. There were tears.

Fastforward; we now work together. Just the other day she came to my desk "can you come here for a minute?" sure I said and she walked me into our supervisor's office and said while pointing at me "he hasn't been printing X reports for the past 4 days."

I was fucking shocked. I was pulled away from the reports directly by our supervisor to assist our auditors and she was well aware of this. Luckily our supervisor gave her a 'yea, so what' face and made her look foolish. Then she brought up that I had put the wrong date on a spreadsheet from 3 weeks ago...shit was sad.

Just now walking through the halls we pass by eachother and I say 'hey, hows it going?' and she looks me in the eye and looks away with much salt.

She's trying to destroy you and doing an awful job. Even if she isn't successful it still makes for a shitty environment. Just another reason to get out of there.
