I literally learned how to post a thread for this goddamn site...

As it states above, I literally learned how to post a thread tonight for this site (and am also fairly certain I completely fucked-up that whole coding of italics).
I am drunk. No. That is an understatement. I am belligerent. I am that wonderful drunk that only few people can find after drinking the same things for years and pushing those usual eight drinks to the wonderful twelve-mark.
Therefore, despite my coding and/or spelling errors (which I will assume have and will continue to appear) I am also in that lovely state of inebriation that I don't care anymore. And also, I'm awesome. That's how it feels, you sober pussies.
I've completely forgotten what I was writing about, but have in no way limited my vehemence concerning the subject. Fuck.
Alright...
Whether or not this follows a numerical order or has any semblance of sanity.
1) I love Tycho's passion for words. That doesn't exist anymore.
I mean... yeah, sure. We hear people chatter about how they love the language, and they sign up for an elective and they jerk off to it... but people rarely give a fuck. I can only think of one other character in a medium who actually exemplifies (and through their character creates a romanticization of) a love of the English language. Henry "Hank" Moody from "Californications" has the dialogue to lead toward it... but it's fairly weak. And it appears only a few times. It's painfully obvious that they're in the middle of creating a 'quirk' for the character and it hurt my soul a little bit.
I love the English language. I'm more than slightly aware that my spelling, grammar, and punctuation will be askew in this tirade (diatribe?) of mine. I will still scream tonight in my drunken stupor (without the crutch of 'caps lock') that I love the English language, and love Tycho's writing. (I know he's a character, and have been debating how I refer to him this entire time, but have decided that it would be better for the writing, and the world of PA, that I refer to him as a sentient source. (Alliteration intentional, with the downside of giving up clarity.)).
2) I am not a 'gamer.' The title still sounds funny to me. I played NES. I fell in love with Zelda (the character, not the game. But the game as well, honestly.). I jumped on a trampoline as a child and pretended that there were pieces of a destroyed mechanical man imbuing me with his power (MegaMan... duh.). I made the terrible mistake at age twelve and chose the Sega Genesis. My only haven was Shining Force (III was purchased at a garage sale. IV was rented -- too poor to buy another game.) I believe there is actually a three-panel-comic concerning Gabe's frustrations with Sega. I lusted after my friends, with Final Fantasy III, and Secret of Mana. Even now, at the age of 25, the word 'Squaresoft' makes me look up. I finally was able to play Final Fantasy VII (three years after its release) and enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed Enders Game, The House of Leaves, and Til We Have Faces. (Albiet the mythological interpretation and deftness of prose was much less. Esp. con. TWHF). I recently pulled an XBOX 360 out of storage and played the original Bioshock. I was enthralled, and terrified. It was so much to take in. I no longer have the dexterity to handle these games. But I enjoy them. And I also bless and praise the people who can imbibe beyond my ability to engross.
3) I am a bartender. I make a living on reading people, smiling, and acclimating (terribly) quickly to social circumstances. My hands hurt. I bar-tend a lot. I'm recently (seven months ago) out of a relationship. I have sex with strangers on a regular basis. I meet them, I say hello, and then we go home and fuck. I don't call them. The things that I have been told are the staple of masculinity are in reality a terrible, miserable way to live. I have left my shy, analytical, game-playing thoughtfulness for a self-loathing, analytical, sporadic, and insatiable lover of the sensuous. Not sensual in the way of sex, or food... but an ever-growing lust for more of everything. It has left me very tired (emotionally). Perhaps I am putting a darker spin on my life right now due to the time, and my lonliness... oh well, it will all be sorted out some day. I hope this doesn't sound like me swinging my dick in concentric circles in front of people. I merely want to comment on what I perceive as this notion from gamer-culture and perceptions of gamers that sex is unreachable, relationships are unattainable, or that settling down in the comforts of a solid relationship are a weaker move in life (honestly, that also applies to the bulk of humanity... but for some reason I feel is highlighted in gamer culture). All three of the latter stated are lies. I'm glad your publication puts a slight emphasis on your relationships. People need to hear that, especially in the face of all the terrible media teaching us to re-conform our lives to something we never knew of but apparently desperately need. That was the whole point of this multi-jointed-abortion of a paragraph.
The sun is coming up. That means its time for a cigarette and (hopefully) sleep... this may never be read by either Tycho or Gabe, and that's fine by me. But in a terribly non-direct way, this is my thanks to both of you.
Please have a wonderful day, and continue what you do. Also, I just intentionally stopped myself from re-reading whatever shit it was I wrote. Enjoy (or don't) world.

drink some water before you go to sleep ok?
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
2. Stop fucking strangers; the candy-van is not your friend.
3. Don't forget your aspirin with the water.
where's that comic edit of tycho throwing the new topic button
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
I understand the hand pain, its rubbish.
I expect great things from this lad; he's eloquent, belligerent, surly, jaded and more than a little self-loathing.
It's like looking into a mirror.
That was a fun thread.
My favorite is sausage, biscuits and gravy with a gigantic pot of coffee.
And don't skimp on the Bailey's with that coffee, missy; Daddy needs his morning buzz.
we also frown on people making dicks of themselves by drunkenly posting
and we also frown on bartenders; unless they're anything like Moe, they're boring and uninteresting
regardless, welcome to the forums, hope you enjoy your time here :]

My hangover meal used to always be the all you can eat buffet at a Pizza Hut restaurant.
but they don't exist anymore

I will cut you three ways: long, slow, deep and often.
#pipe edit: Sunday morning Chinese buffet is another good one; and by morning, I mean whenever the hell I wake up.
there's no way we frown that much

you're right, that's more of a D&D thing
my bad
wait then what does SE++ do as a community, besides make lots of dick jokes
Steam
I think its both!
I am always thrilled when I don't get ID'd in a bar. I'm not sure the novelty will ever wear off.
We like our forumers like we do our caipirinhas - Bitter and incredibly fucked up.
And Disney World is nowhere in sight.
my face is lodged in a permanent downturned rictus.
Conveniently both.
this forum hasn't seen a post like that in ages
still sucks though
both

Yes to both and I think it's a fantastic effort to dance dangerously close to what few lines of rules and regulations we have here at SE++.
My fist is in the air for you, Adam; fight the power and damn the man.
Quote button. Bottom right of each post.

2) I am moving house.
3) I am an engineer.
Did I do this right?
Satans..... hints.....
That's four ways.
Also, I wish my introduction post had been this nice. I was just all, "Hi, I'm new lolz" and then I got told to die, get fucked, etc., and was called everything from a faggot to a stupid bastard. :rotate:

Hi.
