[font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]All I saw was a bunch of acronyms flying about and I was like: [img]http://myfacewhen.com/images/151.jpg[/img] But in all reality, good to see ya back again Rev. Here's a picture of me from the PowerUP 2012 Fighting Game Tournament. I was asked to be a part of a special Exhibition for a game that I love (and coincidentally am pretty proficient at). Love this picture :) [img]http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/531314_3836178347307_1363436966_33570882_34347921_n.jpg[/img] This was shortly after winning the exhibition for my team. I think my reaction was a bit understated.[/font]

I would assume most people wear Deo in their regular routine....but I'm not 100% on that :(

[quote name='Magus' timestamp='1336308920' post='711683'] I'm going to Vegas come July. It'll be my first time going. I'll be there for a week (3rd thru 9th). For the most part I'm there for this fighting game tournament (EVO) that'll take place from the 6th-8th, but the 3rd-5th I'm there sight seeing and whatnot. So far I've been told that I'll need some good walking shoes and a bottle of water... (Then again, I've experienced Arizonia so I think I can handle Vegas in terms of temps) Anyway, anyone ever been there? Any MUST "go to" spots? Should I beware of anything? [/quote] [font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]Definitely hit up all the shops at the Caesar. You can admire all the high fashion stuff and it's really fun to see all of the architecture of the hotel. I'd also recommend seeing the fountain show at the Bellagio at night. It'll all lit up and choreographed to music and stuff. New York, New York has a rollercoaster on top of it. So if you're into that kind of thing, check that out. As far as travel tips: -There are Walgreens and CVS on the strip. Don't spend money getting stuff from the newsstands/convenience stores in the hotels. Get all your snacks/drinks/ stuff for your room there. -Don't walk on the strip if your destination is far. There are buses that are reasonably priced and you can get to wherever you need to go without walking on the hot Vegas streets. Avoid cabs too. Those are hella expensive. Only cabs you should take are to and from the airport. Even then if you can find a shuttle, do that instead. -Always have cash on you. Some things in Vegas are done by cash only (which is stupid).[/font] [font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]Tournament stuff: -please please please bring deodorant. You're gonna be in a ballroom with literally thousands of people in close quarters.I can't say the same for other people, but I didn't like it very much when I sat down next to the guy and had to play while his pits were giving me teary eyes. You're not in the tournament, but it's still a big deal to be hygenic - If you want to be able to do something, get there early. Seating for any of the exhibitions, panels...etc fills up really quickly. I got a really good seat on finals day (basically upfront) and I was there when the doors opened. - Bring money to buy some of the merchandise there. There's TONS of t-shirts, key-chains and maybe some SWAG for you to get. So don't walk away without a souvenir from EVO. - Check out the Bring Your Own Console area. There's tons of older games being played (some of them aren't so old, but they have no scene for them so they get relegated there). And everyone there is very nice and receptive when it comes to people asking to play their games. So don't be afraid to just jump in and have a good time. -Stay well hyrdated. There's free water at EVO, but it goes quick and gets destroyed quick. So bring some water/soda/ snacks with you in a backpack and have stuff to munch on at the venue until you want like lunch or something. [b]**KEEP TRACK OF ALL YOUR PERSONAL ITEMS**[/b]- I can't stress this enough. As much as I'd want to believe that people won't be grimy and steal from other people, it happens every year at EVO. Someone loses a stick, their wallet, their iPhone etc etc. Keep your stick with you at all times. If you lend it to someone, make sure that you know where they are and try to stay in the area so you can get it back. I never lent out my stick to anyone, because of that very reason. If you're in an area full of people that's crowded, try putting your wallet in your front pocket. It's harder to pick-pocket that way. Keep your backpack or bag locked if you can help it. And just keep on top of all your things. If it's left out, it WILL get stolen. Other than that, have fun. Take lots of pics and share them! :)[/font]

In my many travels, I might finally get the chance to live out a childhood dream and visit Japan in the fall. I found tickets as cheap as 1000 dollars round trip for October, November time frame. I have a friend who is an English teacher there and he knows all the best spots to go to. I might get to do a little sightseeing too :)

[font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]That's not a half bad idea, actually. I remember reading one a while back and thinking "Man, this is a hassle."[/font]

[font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif][size=4]So, I finally caved and bought a pair of the Beats Headphones the other day. That was possibly the best investment ever made in the history of "I don't want to hear your screaming baby on this 10 hour flight." history! I was kinda thrown off by the fact that there's batteries for it, but then I realized it was the noise cancelling part of the headphones. Bloc Party never has sounded better. [/size][/font]

[font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]I used to want children of my own, but I've come to enjoy the perks of being a person who doesn't have children. However, if I were to have some I would instill them with most of the same values that I was raised with. Family always comes first. Respect people even if they don't show you the same. Work hard. Help others not for a reward, but simply because it's the right thing to do. Do your best in whatever you do. As far as getting them involved in activities, I would support them in whatever they choose to do in life. Whether that's a son in Ballet or a daughter who wants to be on the Wrestling team. My parents did the same for me and my siblings, so it's only fitting. But as far as putting up risque pictures online, it's important to have that talk with your kids...but at the same time there's only so much policing you can do with them. It's part of a "They'll learn the consequences through making the mistake." Now, this is a little more severe. But I think that having the conversation with your kids can be a good deterrent. You want to trust your children to not be so clueless and have a mind of their own to realize the potential repercussions of doing stuff like that. However, kids will push limits and boundaries to explore who they are and find out for themselves what they can/can't do. It's a natural part of human curiosity. [/font]
