Nendil's Procrastination Outlet

You know, I just finished my package of peanuts and was about to throw it away when I noticed this.



Durr...

So I've been emulating playing the GBA Lord of the Rings games. They're pretty decent games for what they're worth, but they're also not free from their share of zany quotes. <g> Hope these screenshots aren't too small, they should be viewable on a non-ginormous screen like mine. =P

I'm sorry, did you just insinuate that the guards guarding the tunnel were GUARDING something?

What the... Elrond looks like a GIRL!

Prejudiced much, Leggy? (Actually Aragorn and Gimli also say this line, but it has the best effect coming from Legolas.)

Whee, a preview of the Extended DVD! Woah Gimli, getting a bit friendly are we?

That's gotta be an awfully awkward way to say "auto-revive".

Hugbies!!

And, the game uses a sort of D&D naming system, which now and then lends itself to hilarity:

Dwarf maidens look just the same as dwarf men. | Uhh... something's not right here... | Pseudo-contradiction =P

And the best for last: We know how fond the elves are of their dwarf axes.

And just for the heck of it, here's an extra random quote from the ghetto world of Pokemon Sapphire.

Me: http://imdb.com/title/tt0311361/ Wow.
Me: Not only Jesus Christ and vampires, but kung-fu!
Diana: What?! It's a bleeding musical as well?!
Me: AND a musical!
Me: Fantabulous.

Diana: Have you seen the trailer?
Me: No. Do they have it for download?
Me: Oh my god.
Diana: You can watch it.

What are you waiting for? Go watch it! XD

More from the physics lab manual:

"The previous 4BL course, which was taught, with little change for the last 20 years was very simple and easy. The new 4B Lab is designed to be more advanced and challenging." DAMMIT!

"The level of the class is slightly above the average material of the lecture class. The average student is unlikely to finish all of the assignments within a 3-hr lab session." DAMMIT!

On the other hand, this is really funny. "You have my Ford"

From my physics lab manual:

"A Dell PC with a 1.7GHz Pentium 4 processor, 256 MB SDRAM, 20 GB hard drive, CR RW [sic] drive and 3.5" floppy drive, 17" monitor is provided. The operating system is Windows XP."

And this matters to the physics lab student... why?

"For security reasons, no connection to the Internet is provided."

Because we can't risk having hackers stealing the sensitive, top-secret data acquired from basic undergrad electromagnetic labs.

"If the data acquisition program freezes due to pressing the wrong buttons, simply close the file, exit from LabView, and start all over."

Ah, the splendors of Ctrl+Alt+Delete. Never leave home without it.

And the data-taking program apparently won't save results in a format that itself will read. We had to mess with the Excel files, edit the columns, re-label things, and save them as text files before it would analyze them. Bastard. XP

Umm... and here's a pic my brother made! =)

Plugged resume and portfolio with EA person. He said he'll pass it on to the art department, of course. Beh, no use anticipating the ... not-expect-able...

( I don't think anybody who reads my journal watches Naruto, but I want to preserve this anyway. ^^ )

Math midterm? What math midterm?

So we start watching "Full Metal Alchemy" in anime club. Like the name says, it's about two kids who do magic-like stuff under the guise of alchemy. Okay, BS premise, but whatever.

Until the fansub starts mentioning the Sorcerer's Stone.

::headdesk::

I get such a kick whenever the dining hall serves "Hot Link Sausage."

(The "Hot Link Sandwich" isn't much better, either.)

(I never tried it though, it looks too spicy.)

So I'm taking a glance through the sample ballot (English and Chinese compatible) that came in the mail. They're not kidding about EVERYONE in California running for governor. Here's a sampling of what kind of people are wanting this office:

Golf Professional (D)
Used Car Dealer (I)
Air Pollution Scientist (D)
Custom Denture Manufacturer (G)
Retired Meat Packer (I)
Firefighter Paramedic/Nurse (D)
Comedian (I)
Psychologist/Farmer (R)
Adult Film Actress (I)
Railroad Switchman/Brakeman (R)
University Chemistry Instructor (NL)
Film Maker (D)
Cigarette Retailer (L)
Middleweight Sumo Wrestler (I)
Software Engineer (D)
College Student (G)

I'm not saying that any of them shouldn't or couldn't be governor. I just find such diversity fascinating (and not the less amusing).

Speaking of which, I suppose I should register to vote... ^^;
