Hey guys, Most of you guys might not remember me; I haven't been on Halforums in a few years at this point, and even when I was on every day I wasn't a huge poster. I saw mention of North Ranger's passing on Facebook and Tumblr and I thought it would be appropriate to log in and express my...

There are five episodes of Castle which I haven't seen yet, but I will see them. It's taking several days per episode to download them from iTunes over here, which means I've been spending a lot of time in Cafes with free WiFi ... Five minutes left in this download. I can't believe how...

Oh god. It's killing me that I don't have a home internet connection here. I want to play on a group server so bad, and you guys sound like you're having so much fun. And I can't quite come to the Cyber every day just to play hours of Minecraft. I will be checking up on this thread. Maybe...

I have a very sore throat, so the laughter this brought was painful ... and then cough-y ... which was even more painful. And I'm in a crowded cyber cafe, so I also look very silly.

Re: "Indian," I imagine it differs greatly from place to place. "Eskimo" is pejorative to Canadian Inuit, but Greenland Inuit will call themselves "Eskimos" when addressing English speakers. I grew up being told that "Indian" was incorrect and occasionally offensive, so it's rarely a word I...

Rob King is going to Nepal Yeah, I figured it would be cleaner and more appreciated if I posted here, rather than starting a new thread. I just wanted to say that two weeks ago I finally made it to Nepal. The last few months have been pretty nuts with work and fund-raising in order to make it...

Very seriously considered not getting this game, seeing as I'm probably not going to be able to play it much this winter. But for the sake of $15 ... I am so glad I got it. It doesn't run very well on my MacBook. Serious frame rate issues, but I'm having a great time building my world. I'm...

I shaved my head back in ... April, was it? I'm glad it's back. That's not to say I wouldn't do it again. Just ... I'm glad it's back.

I'd definitely be in, but this year I'm going to be in Nepal, which makes shipping difficult both ways. That said, I like to think that also guarantees a neat present for whoever my gift-ee ends up being. Also ... who had me last year? I'm still curious. It must have gotten lost in the...

Little sad that I haven't had time to do much posting around here, or other places, but I'm having a lot of fun doing this Video Blog thing, and I can see clear improvement in recent videos over my first few. Also, this Nepal thing is coming together very nicely, so that's really exciting. I...

This is going to sound so stupid, but I sorta flirted with a girl today. This is a win for me because a) I'm not very good at that sort of thing, and b) for the last two years I've sort of avoided relationships that haven't fallen directly into my lap as a matter of policy for the same reasons...

It's okay, Sin, we're a mystical land of mystery. The fewer plebeians believe we exist the better.

So (and this is a completely innocent question) is the whole class-division of Hindus NOT a part of Hinduism, or is it the division a relic of Indian culture/influence? I'm honestly curious. You would think I should know this shit since I'm moving to a majority-Hindu country in less than two...

It seems to have already been said in more words, but here I go. No. Organized religion is what happens when spirituality hits social creatures. Whatever social groups can do, organized religions will do. I'm not sure what else is out there, but if you want something uncorrectable, I can...

Read through the entire Hunger Games trilogy in the last few days. I am seriously having a hard time dealing with the end of Mockingjay. I could sort of feel the end coming, and I could sort of predict the flavor of the final chapters before I actually experienced them, but I sincerely...

My friends have taken to referring to him as "Shia TheBeef"

I think the death of sex thing is supposed to mean "death of sex as a means of female empowerment" although I'm admittedly taking that from a very limited context.

Shit. A pile of people were over at my house an hour ago, and I felt myself going into a funk, so I left to go for a short walk and clear my head. I came back and everyone's gone, and it makes me feel like that asshole who ended the party too early, despite that being the exact opposite of...

I've been banned from forums before for having conflicting opinions. Now, it was a very conservative Christian forum, so that might explain that. I mean, I exchanged a few posts with a girl who claimed (no, I am not exaggerating) that women should not peruse higher education, because it means...

To send to GVN: Between a paycheck coming up, and some money that forumites have sent me, I'm only short about another 300. (That number might sound higher than I originally stated because of an exchange rate muck-up on my part. I thought costs were expressed in New Zeland dollars, when it...
