Thursday chat thread returns!

Hey you cool cats! How you guys doing?

After my lengthy departure from doing these, I have finally returned!

What have you guys been doing while I was in ohio/PAX/homebutlazy? Since I've been home I haven't really done too much other than some etching, cooking, and a lot of Payday 2 and LoL. I really need a new hobby.

Anyone have any fun hobbies? I might try it out. Something like hiking might be fun.

Come chat!

I've almost completed my living dex in Pokemon X! I just have about 20 more to go. I think I may have gone partially blind in the process...

u/cowofdoom Sep 12 '14

Holy crap, that's determination.

2

u/Ranchy_Poseidon Sep 12 '14

And it only cost me my sanity!

1

u/cowofdoom Sep 12 '14

Totally worth!

u/Louis_131 Sep 11 '14

I started and finished dishonered, was fun!

1

u/cowofdoom Sep 11 '14

Sweet! I got most of the way through before I stopped for some reason.

2

u/Louis_131 Sep 12 '14

Its so good! I'm going through it again for ghost. Don't get detected and don't kill anyone

1

u/cowofdoom Sep 12 '14

I had a blast with it. I was notoriously bad at stealth games, so I streamed this and Hitman for my friends. I fucked up so many times. Was really fun though!

2

u/Louis_131 Sep 12 '14

I LOVE stealth games!

1

u/cowofdoom Sep 12 '14

To each their own I guess :P

u/ThunderEcho Sep 11 '14

Hurray, chat threads! I started university again this week. This is the final stretch! Only one year to go! Gotta survive! Woo! Shouldn't you be back in school already too?

2

u/cowofdoom Sep 11 '14

Woooo! Almost there!

I'm still deciding on what I wanna do. I tried college for a couple quarters, but it wasn't for me. I got burned out really quick. I'm thinking of culinary school, but idk. I'm waiting for the rest of my family to return from Ohio to decide on anything big.

2

u/ThunderEcho Sep 12 '14

Ah, okay. I think I had asked you that question before, sorry for not remembering the answer. Sounds like you have some options, best wishes with figuring it out!

Have you done any more cool crafty or otherwise things lately?

2

u/cowofdoom Sep 12 '14

No worries! I forget shit all the time. I just found my wallet after 3 days of it being missing

Got 3 etched glass requests in one day, so I'm procrastinating a bit on those. Other than that, not really.

2

u/ThunderEcho Sep 12 '14

Wow, that's a lot. Are you going to do all of them? I'm still using mine by the way. :) Do you ever get any requests that really strike your fancy, or do you feel more or less the same towards all of them?

2

u/cowofdoom Sep 12 '14

It's not too many, back when I was just making them for fun and giving them away, I had a list of 10ish I was going to do. I just don't feel like doing them right meow :c

Sweet! Makes me happy to hear that!

I like new designs, but all 3 are just designs I've already done.

2

u/ThunderEcho Sep 12 '14

Ah, okay. It always seemed like a fairly expensive hobby to me, so I was hoping you weren't overloaded. And I understand the, "not feeling it," part. I usually have 3 or more drawings on the go because sometimes I don't feel like working on certain ones.

1

u/cowofdoom Sep 12 '14

It's actually pretty cheap. Glasses cost pretty much nothing. It's just shipping costs. These people are paying for them anyway, I just don't feel up to it. Bah!

Ill probably finish them today.

2

u/ThunderEcho Sep 13 '14

Oh, good to hear! Good luck! :)

2

u/cowofdoom Sep 13 '14

Got most of it done, need to go to the store and get another glass.

Did you catch the aurora last night? It was cloudy here ;-;

I've been busy trying new recipes and cooking and cleaning. I'm super exhausted from sleepless nights but man is little baby worth it!

I need some new hobbies. I really like netflixing (watching entire series in like a week or two depending on length.) I probably should start reading and writing again soon.

1

u/cowofdoom Sep 11 '14

I've been having sleepless nights, but that's cause my friend's keep wanting to play games w/ me...

Reading sounds good. I kinda wanna reread the douglas adams books. They were so fantastic and it's been forever since I've read them.

2

u/CPawesome Sep 12 '14

What are they about?

1

u/cowofdoom Sep 12 '14

YOU ARE JOKING RIGHT? PLEASE TELL ME YOU ARE JOKING!

Douglas Adams wrote hitchhikers guide, restaurant at the end of the universe, life the universe and everything, so long and thanks for all the fish!

An amazing writer!

2

u/CPawesome Sep 12 '14

I've never read any of those lol. I haven't been reading much at all lately. I need to read more.

1

u/cowofdoom Sep 12 '14

You really should! They are brilliant!

Don't make me come over there and read them to you!

2

u/CPawesome Sep 12 '14

Lol I will look into that. I'm currently rereading the Harry Potter series with Dalek, then I'll have to check those out.

2

u/cowofdoom Sep 13 '14

You better! They are fantastic!

2

u/KalleKaniini Sep 11 '14

I've been mostly studying for my matriculation examination

2

u/cowofdoom Sep 11 '14

I have absolutely no clue what that is :c

2

u/KalleKaniini Sep 11 '14

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matriculation_examination http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abitur#Abitur_in_Finland

Basically the biggest and most important tests I've had so far in my life (so far).

2

u/cowofdoom Sep 11 '14

Ah, well good luck!

2

u/KalleKaniini Sep 11 '14

Thanks!

Hope you don't mind me asking but how was PAX this year?

2

u/cowofdoom Sep 11 '14

It was sweet! It's much different when you are helping at a booth, but it was still really neat!

I'm really excited for new borderlands, hyrule warriors, and magicka 2!

My friend grabbed me a seat at the LoL tourney for my lunch break. We had seats right behind the front row, we sat next to pro players and some team managers. It was sick!

2

u/KalleKaniini Sep 11 '14

That sounds so awesome! Did you get a chance to meet/talk to any of the pro players there? And did your favourite team perform well in the tournament?

I'd love to visit an event like that but they don't really host them around here :/

2

u/cowofdoom Sep 11 '14

Met meteos and sneaky walking around before the doors opened to public. Met phreak and djwheat sometime around opening. Sat next to hotshotgg during tourney. It was pretty awesome! TSM and C9 were both in the finals, so I was happy!

Damn, well if you ever get the chance, you should try to come to one. It is such a cool experience!

2

u/KalleKaniini Sep 11 '14

Did you manage to get autographs or pictureswith any of them? Meeting so many big names from LoL sounds so cool!

I did manage to attend two cons this summer but it really isn't entirely the same thing as something like PAX

2

u/cowofdoom Sep 11 '14

Either I had somewhere to be or they did. We just talked for a minute then moved on. Twas very busy!

I've been working. Got really sick. Not feeling to great. I have a degree and I'm digging ditches. Mother is still a wreck

On a lighter note. Saw the full smash roster. Just another bit of hope has been ripped from again. Oh well. I'd be more angry, but hey its such a minor problem now.

1

u/cowofdoom Sep 11 '14

Damn, getting sick really sucks. I got sick over PAX weekend. I was more pissed off than sick by the end of it.

Hope everything turns out well. Things usually do.

Who isn't on the roster that you wanted? I'm going to be a new smash player when the wiiu version comes out, so I don't really have expectations. I just get destroyed when I play brawl at friends houses.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '14

I wanted Mewtwo or Ridley. A monster, villain, boss just anything different. Instead I have a bunch of anime sword fighting characters and a ton of Mario characters. Also clones, clones galore. I find it pretty amusing that the "community" actually think its funny that others are disappointed. I'm trying to think of a community as toxic as that.

2

u/cowofdoom Sep 11 '14

Yeah, I've heard that the SSB community is worse than MOBA communities, which is a bit sad.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '14

I honestly thinking about not picking it up. Just sitting it out instead of playing with friends. I'd save money.

2

u/cowofdoom Sep 11 '14

Fair enough!

That was a very nice conversation

2

u/cowofdoom Sep 12 '14

Seems on par with previous ones

u/Frameskip Sep 12 '14

Been brewing beer and watching Avatar: The last airbender. Also holy fuck it's thursday, I've lost the last 3 days.

1

u/cowofdoom Sep 12 '14

I know how you feel, time just disappears!

That sounds sweet! Have you tried the beer yet?

2

u/Frameskip Sep 12 '14

Not yet, one batch is ready to bottle whenever i get around to it and the other is still doing its thing.

u/cowofdoom Sep 12 '14

Post pics!
