Many of the games I've done runs for I've had little experience with before running. In fact, many I tried out for the express purpose of seeing what sorts of tool-assisted potential they have. Basically, if I think it'll make an interesting run, I'll give it a shot if I'm willing.

I like the idea of putting them in the avatar block. Placing them beneath the post doesn't make much sense as it's not really attached to the user-info there, and makes the boards seem uneven.

Knee to the face, knee to the face, knee to face, oh look, yet another knee the face...
Am I wrong for finding the recent Willow run more entertaining than this?

I'm gonna try to watch this using my greatest hits original copy of the game. I'll brb with impressions.
edit: couldn't get it to work. Either using the cd-rom or an ISO generated from it, I keep getting an error after the other: "Please insert disk [1]", 2, 3 and so on, for every frame.
I got the same thing after I corrupted the header in a movie of mine; have you tried re-downloading the movie?

Yeah, that's the general kind of thing I'm talking about— mental tension insistently presenting itself in the abstract.
Maybe in your case it was the want of privacy? ;)
That's an angle I never considered. However, it often took the form of trying to psyche myself up into using a communal shower, but always failing, even though I'm always the only one in there. Maybe I want to open myself up but can't seem to do so? ?:(
(said communal showers were often much more elaborate than your standard room-with-shower-heads, consisting of huge, multi-storied rooms, sometimes with raised platforms and the occasional booth off to the side)
...
Why do I get the feeling I took this in an unwanted direction? <_<

Well, I think this is similar to what you are talking about. On my mission, I had a few dreams where my two years were up and I had returned home... but when I tried to remember what all I had done, I couldn't remember anything past the area I was currently in. Once I looked through one of my books that I had taken notes in to see if I could remember it, when I came across a sheet of paper that had something written on it I now can't remember; I started reminiscing about how I got this note and then woke up. Another time, I was sitting around when I started freaking out: "Wait, why am I home? What am I doing here, playing video games? I should still be in Salida!"
Also on said mission I had a ton of dreams involving shower stalls and a few about discovering a part of the apartment no other missionary had yet found. This part was typically HUGE and was confusing how no one knew about it sooner. One time even combined these two, with a shower stall being behind a door inside a coat closet found in this new part of the apartment.
I still don't know what to make of all these shower stalls. I don't dream about them as much right now, but it does crop up on occasion.

Okay, I seem to be dominating this topic, but...
The other night, I dreamt I was hanging out on the IRC here, when for whatever reason I brought up Matt Furey. I ended up being on the receiving end of a wave of sarcastic, biting comments that opened with Omnipotent Entity stating how a doctor prescribed for him a specialized weight lifting routine that quite literally saved his life, and how Furey can go bite it.
Guys, I know the Matt Furey is a sleazy con-artist and all. Did you really find it necessary to invade my dreams to chew me out for finding merit in the exercises presented in his book?

As the local TASVideos furry I agree with this statement.
Another of you guys comes out of the woodwork. There's about 3 or 4 of you now!
Oh, don't act so surprised, it has been in my profile for a while now. =P
Apparently I am a furry, but this was actually brought on by some friends saying I was and it kind of stuck on from there. No, I don't own a fursuit, stop asking.
But yeah, I'm surprised I'm not the only one, if your 3-4 statement is correct.
Sorry, I don't check user profiles that often. But come now, I've had a number of people think I'm a furry, and yet I'm not one. ;P
As for other users, they seem to be inactive right now. Haven't seen AnotherGamer or DonamerDragon around for a while. So I guess you're the only active one.
...And with that I think we've derailed the topic.

Woah, that's news to us. I think everyone assumed it was with your consent back then.
Well, it may not have been with my consent, but I'm not bitter about it. People liked it, so why complain too much?

(Oh, by the way, there is another instance I can think of with a submission of someone else's work. With Ferret Warlord's GI Joe movie, before Xipo obsoleted it, I believe Ferret Warlord's brother, Shadow Bryn, submitted that movie. However, he also had explicit permission to do so, if I recall correctly.)
