Even movements felt excruciating, like what the hell man you're going to save the world(?) at least do some work out. Everything felt so clunky, add that it's not a casual game either...*** that I don't wanna play to be stressed.

That adapter looks handy. I wonder if it will work more smoothly for Oblivion and such than my Logitech controller.

This is why, despite Kali's occasional urging, I have never played any Souls games.

I rage pretty hard at games, not as hard as 10-year-old me who stomped 2-3 GameBoy Pockets during a Pokemon Blue play through, but still pretty bad.

I like to be able to progress through story for the story. That's one big reason XIII never really hooked me, graphics were pretty but gameplay seemed lousy to me and the story seemed uninteresting and took forever to take off.

Something from the Olympics came on TV and reminded me of this, so Storytime!

When I was in 6th grade, I had a Social Studies teacher who was regarded, by most accounts, as an angry, mean-spirited ***. So, one day during the Pledge of Allegiance, I didn't hold my hand over my heart. Usually I did so if I didn't, there was probably a reason though I don't remember what it was but I wasn't the only one not doing it.

So, after class, I'm singled out and pulled aside with no clue as to why.

"You not holding your hand over your heart during the pledge is like taking that hand and slapping everyone who died for your freedom in the face with it!" now, I was a timid kid do someone saying something like that was kinda traumatic. I told her "a bunch of people in class weren't" to which she angrily cops out with "A BUNCH OF THOSE PEOPLE AREN'T HERE RIGHT NOW!"

So, I kinda just let it go and gave in and went to my next class but...wait a second. People died for my freedom yet there she stands, trying to force me to perform an optional action because not doing so is disrespectful to those who died...for freedom?

Anyone else see what I'm getting at here?

She also later tried to get me expelled for racism because I said "excuse me" to a black person, as I was trying to get by them.

I can only imagine that, if she's still alive, she's in a house that smells like cat piss where she shouts her senility at her cats that would open the door and run if they had thumbs and could open the door.

Not really, when I was in high school. There was more a moment of silence while it was recited during the morning announcements. I think k my school stopped because of some crazy *** suing a school elsewhere in the country.

Now that I think of it, considering the way my 6th grade teacher talked to me over it, the lawsuit may not have been that odd.

I had to do it when I was in elementary/primary school.

Think we stopped doing it around the 5th or 6th grade.

It was weird and didn't make any sense to me. Seemed pointless.

Everytime someone on TV says the word 'dictator' I giggle slightly and think "hehe ***-tater"

Welp, got my hot hands on a strange Phlog and a strange Scorch Shot. Just missing a Powerjack and Detonator, but those are replacements for another day.
...Are these sex toys?

Quote:
While the Scandinavist Richard Dybeck originally wrote the text with reference to the three Nordic kingdoms, later it was thought to apply mainly to the two united kingdoms Sweden and Norway. However, the union under the Bernadotte dynasty was considerably more popular in Sweden than in Norway. The royal family and the circles around them were among the most strong adherents of the union, which may explain the popularity of the anthem in these circles. In 1905, the Swedish-Norwegian union was dissolved. Since then, in general, in this anthem, the word "norden" is interpreted as a synonym of "Sweden".

Patriotic sentiment is notably absent from the text of the original two verses, due to them being written in the spirit of Scandinavism popular at the time (Norden in general refers to the Nordic countries in Swedish, Norwegian and Danish). After the song started to acquire its informal status as the national anthem, various people wrote additional verses to increase the "Swedishness" of the song.

We don't sing the other two verses lol, they suck. They ruin the original feeling of the song

With God I shall fight for home and for hearth,
for Sweden, the beloved native soil.
I trade thee not, for anything in a world
/: No, I want to live, I want to die in the North!:/
