Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Under the influence of a good friend, I've decided that when I want to do something, I'll actually do it. It would be a shame to say, "Oh, I wish I had ...X" when you're old.
So, trusty forumites, what do you want to do before you die, and when do you plan to do it?
My own top ten:
1. Learn American history (already starting, with Eric Foner and so on.)
2. Learn Latin (I’ll start when I get my first acceptance letter of some kind and the stress eases.)
3. Learn Talmud (Starts Monday!!!)
4. Camp outside (how the hell will this EVER happen?)
5. Spend time volunteering for real (possibly this summer.)
6. Learn to shoot a gun. (Gotta wait till I meet a gunny person or make money.)
7. Climb a mountain. (see #4.)
8. Go to Gettysburg or Lexington & Concord. (see #4.)
9. Become a good amateur powerlifter. (Will take a couple years but I’m doing the right things.)
10. Go to Burning Man. (I really don’t know what I could contribute since I’m not an artist; this is the dreamiest of the dreams.)

outside is everywhere
just do it
1) see the aurora borealis
2) meet the president or a former president, have an indepth discussion about something
3) deliver a baby in an emergency situation, like stuck in an elevator or something, be a hero
4) punch a bad boss in the face
5) see the giant big heads in the easter islands
6) hang out with penguins in antarctica
7) get a masters in library science
8) be anthony bourdain's sidekick for one of his travel trips
9) learn to speak chinese
10) pilot a plane
a lot of these involve travel, which money and lazyness is preventing me from doing in the near future. maybe when i get older, hopefully.
I truly hope that I will be able to walk on mars and celebrate 500th birthday
go out into the wilderness, put on high grade night vision
look at sky
galaxies everywhere
This can be done in Round Rock, Texas just a few blocks from my house.
We should have a Doughnut PAX!

makes a bunch of sense when you think about it
"night vision" equipment is most accurately described as "light amplification"
there are lots and lots and lots of stars in the sky that are too dull to see with the naked eye.
put on night vision
the amount of stars triples at least, plus you'll see the swirls and splotches of neighboring galaxies
it's amazing
i just chilled in dad's old mint green el camino, lookin up at stars and shit
shit was immense
that is a good way to fall asleep

sleeping bag was sliding down the side of the hill

the allure of drinking mashed up blueberries and apple cores is too great to resist

fuck those competitions.
here's how to get your art displayed in a gallery
step 1: come up with an idea for an exhibition. It's best if it follows a theme.
step 2: find a few independant art spaces in your capital city. Look in the yellow pages or online, there should be maybe a dozen or more.
step 3: call a few of them, tell them you want to exhibit, explain the theme, discuss their comission
step 4: Book a time for the show, call all your friends, buy a bunch of beer and wine and fancy snacks and have a bitchin opening night
EASY.
You don't have to be some amazing artist to book an exhibition, you just have to book it.
