    I want video games and skee ball, not bullshit where you bet on "horses" on a mechanical track! HNNNGNGH

    The last time I went into a Main Event, several of the games were giant versions of iPhone games like Fruit Ninja, played on a huge touch screen. They cost $1/play.

    A dollar a play for Fruit Ninja. The whole program costs $0.99!!!!

    Fuck that noise.

    My favorite D&B moment ever was putting down quarters for both the 1p and 2p guns in House of the Dead and going all Dante in the game.

    I was doing all the stupid dual pistol poses people love so much, and I gathered a rather sizable crowd of kids and teenagers going "whoaaaa" over my mad skillz.

    I wish more lightgun games had a "dual pistol" mode.

    I've definitely had classes like that. It's disappointing, but I never felt bad about being "that guy" since, in this case, "that guy" is the only guy doing anything. The teacher almost certainly teaches better through discussion (and I'm not saying that's the only way to teach, just that some people are better at teaching that way) and having at least one person to bounce off of is helping the entire class.

    I've been that guy and I've been the guy watching that guy when I'm just not interested in the class and it's fine either way. I think the only time it gets legitimately annoying is when that guy has a pet issue, he disagrees with the professor and everyone else, and he never wants to shut the fuck up about it ever and keeps trying to drag every conversation back to it.

    Oh man, I tried that Coconut Water stuff recently because I love coconut.

    Apparently the flesh of the coconut is where they keep all the nice flavor because the water tastes like fucking snot.

    What the everloving shit is wrong with people?

    Coconut water is delicious

    Like, I've had coconut milk before, which I know is like coconut water plus sugar and stuff... and I like that a lot.

    Maybe it was this particular brand.

    Coconut milk is not that at all

    Coconut milk is, essentially, coconut juice. It comes from the meat of the coconut

    Coconut water is the water inside the coconut that has been filtered through the coconut. It is basically just water.

    i don't really like packaged coconut water for the most part it's kinda gross

    but like

    when we were in belize camping on that random tiny island? we took machetes and went H*A*M on those coconuts and fresh coconut water is soooo good

    and i had brought rum and some fruit juice concentrate because i was smart

    so then you chop the coconut up, and pour the rum in with the coconut water and maybe a splash of the juice concentrate

    and drink straight outta the coconut

    also whiskey worked pretty well with the coconut water surprisingly

    Yeah, I noticed that. At first I was like, wut dis X, and I was pretty sure it was a mute because that's how I've seen them written in tabs but it just kinda worked when I played it normally. Then it did the little explanation video and I was like, okay, I guess I'll actually palm mute those next time and it totally didn't work unless I was just kinda barely touching it in the lightest manner possible.
