How can I sleep!?

1. like many other people, i do not like mondays.
2. usually, i have to work fridays, which leaves me unable to go to the tap-x hangouts. this week is different. i finally got a friday off. YAY!
3. well, it depends on the game. but in all fairness, i like both companies.
4. i found that a good knoch on the head with a frying pan works pretty well, but that leaves you with a massive concussion. you could try counting sheep, but those bastards are never there when i need them. a nice glass of warm milk usually does the trick.

In "Ghosts 'n' Goblins", how do I defeat the final boss? I can't figure out what I should do.
By what deadline should I finish writing the script for "Drallcome and Sword:The Movie!"?

1. seeing as how it has been a REALLY long time since i have ever played G'n'G, i dont know...that, and i never got to the final boss before.
2. here's an easy way to figure that out: get a dartboard, and take three throws. take the three numbers the darts land on, add them together, and then multiply them by two. there is your answer. or you can just skip all that and try to finish it before the end of the year. whatever works for you.

Hope That Helps!

Why do fanichats get quiet?

[otakuapprentice]

Why do fanichats get quiet?

this is a common occurence. fani-chats usually get quiet, or "go dead", when either everyone is typing something that is really long, or we just sit there waiting for someone to make the next post. I could be wrong, but that sounds about right.

Why does it get quiet inside the elevator?  
Why does it get really annoying when someone speaks over the phone inside the elevator?

[otakuapprentice]

Why does it get quiet inside the elevator?  
Why does it get really annoying when someone speaks over the phone inside the elevator?

1. because that is teh awesome power of the mighty elevator...and you're in there with complete strangers, so you don't want them hearing your conversations.
2. if you mean over the emergency elevator, dunno. if you mean over a cell phone, i really havent figured out why that happens. i need to do some more research on that...

You wanna borrow my copy of Capcom Classics Collection 1 for PS2 sometime?
Why can't I stand the cold?
Where can I find an arcade version of Pump It Up to play? Somewhere other than Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.

1. unfortunately, i am one of the few people that does not own a PS2, so i can't borrow it if i wanted to. ironically, we just got a Beatmania box in at work on thursday. i want that thing soo bad, so i might just have a ps2 soon after all...
2. because you love the warmth.
3. that's hard to say. i have never seen an arcade version of PIU anywhere. i've seen arcade versions of ITG(in the groove), but not PIU. sorry.

Why are you in LadyKaren's trunk?

Why are you in LadyKaren's trunk?

O.o huh? i have no idea what you're talki.....ohh, so that's what this place is called. i thought it was a computer room. oh, well, just give me a second......just gotta turn this here and...*POP!* ah! there we go. mmm, gotta love that fresh air!

all joking aside, i have never been either locked, trapped, or voluntarily placed inside a car trunk before. a suitcase, on the other hand...that's a totally different thing.
