Most of the animorphs books were ghostwritten after the first few. Applegate only wrote the bigger editions
Huh. I am surprised K.A. Applegate is a real person. I am used to fake names used by a company like Carolyn Keene with Nancy Drew books.
w-what?
Haha just kidding, that shit was for girls, I read the Hardy Boys motherfucker.

You son of a bitch, I'll kill you
That is just those horrid books having poisoned your mind.
For decades, libraries refused to carry any Syndicate books, considering them to be unworthy trash.[6] Series books were considered to "cause 'mental laziness,' induce a 'fatal sluggishness,' and 'intellectual torpor.'"[16] Series books were considered to ruin a child's chances for gaining an appreciation of good literature (which was subsequently shown by studies to not be the case[17]), and to undermine respect for authority: "much of the contempt for social conventions … is due to the reading of this poisonous sort of fiction."[18]
Franklin K. Mathiews, chief librarian for the Boy Scouts of America, wrote that series books were a method, according to the title of one of his articles, for "Blowing Out the Boys' Brains,"[19] and psychologist G. Stanley Hall articulated one of the most common concerns by asserting that series books would ruin girls in particular by giving them "false views of [life]… which will cloud her life with discontent in the future."[20]
None of this hurt sales, however; Stratemeyer was unperturbed, even when his books were banned from the Newark Public Library as early as 1901, writing to a publisher: "Personally it does not matter much to me. … Taking them out of the Library has more than tripled the sales in Newark."[21]
Anyone really good at Battlefront wanna come over and stealth rank up my kids account? He's 8 and not very good yet. And before you ask, yes I'm going to take credit for it.
Do you want your kid to get his ass kicked harder to learn a lesson about the folly of improving himself?
Because if BF has any matchmaking at all, that's what you're gonna do.

Guys I have completely devolved into a Call of Duty
There is no hope for me
i'm jealous
#forreal
there is an unparalleled bliss that can be achieved when the self dissolves into a triple kill in an FPS.
i've played 1239 games of league of legends searching for it and have yet to reach the elation.
My jedi powers only work in FPS games, and for a handful of things IRL. I'm still super impressed with myself over the time I iron sights bullet penetration killed someone nearly end to end across the map in COD: WAW, which was made even funnier by the (human, single server) ban I ate right after it.
The admin, spectating, as a flash sweat appears on his forehead, stammering, "No...no man could be capable of such a thing." You underestimate me.
I'm pretty out of practice these days though. That, and without stopping power, I can no longer win matches with just a 1911 pistol anymore. :bigfrown:

It doesn't seem to. He gets killed and the display shows he was killed by a someone with maxed unlocked weapon.

Hmm, yes
induce a 'fatal sluggishness,'
*hasn't left the apartment in a week* yeah, okay sure
and 'intellectual torpor.'"
...yeah, nailed it on all three counts, pretty much.
Yeah nothing brings out that primal YEAH GET FUCKED SON like FPS games.
This camper in a hot purple outfit caught me while he was crouching in a corner like a lamer and I completely fucked him twice in a row pushing into their spawn for revenge
Oh my god what am I becoming

I would pay a significant amount of money to replay all the SNES courses with a new engine
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

Phantom Pain damn you. Quiet's underwear has been bothering me, it rides way too high, it shouldn't ride that high.
And then I started Code Talker before I took a break from the game, but not before I spotted the Quiet clones. See, you can make underwear that's not dumb!

Why would you need to hide who you again?
.
Island. Being on fire.
What if we just sterilized campers
Then this plague would end in a generation
Moving to a shitty small town
Yes, we'll catch them by camping outside their houses...
I have never been top 3 selected before
Brap Brap Brap Brap
Exactl-
wait
There's like 10 rainbow roads in Mario Kart 8
QWait there are?
brb buying game

A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT
Why move somewhere where you can't be yourself?
That seems like something that would disqualify it as an acceptable option
(there are actually three rainbow roads, and one of them is DLC)
That said, Mario Kart 8 is the best Mario Kart.
Except for its battle mode, which is sadly the worst.
But, like, I still think it's my favorite Mario Kart ever.
I actually want it a lot
I really enjoyed Mario Kart Wii
Got 7 and was super disappointed
8 seems like a return to what I liked
Long story with details I don't want to disclose.
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
when you stare into the abyss...
He who fights with monsters, etc.
teamwork hi-five
*explosions in background*
Yeah I don't like the new direction with battle mode, but as a racing game 8 is hella dope.
Well, whichever one they played last on AGDQ just now had the N64 Rainbow Road music, which is the best Rainbow Road music, so I was pleased.
I think I'm in love.
WITH SHEPHERD'S
PIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGRRRRRRR
How so? I have limited marionkart experience but I'm curious how they've nailed it this time.
That was the N64 one :P
