Johnny Casino; he's never shown in the movie, so don't try and remember him from that. He's the lead singer of the band at the dance where everyone does the hand jive.

As far as I can tell, you saying this basically concludes the thread, which only got off the ground because you said you were having Grease practice. Way to string it all out for 61 pages :p

The guy who played Johnny Casino in my school's version of Grease ended up as Judas in the next year's musical. Hope it makes you popular too :p
 
This thread won't be over until Qonfused's final performance.
 
Ok, so today was our classes demo reel presentations (im in a computer animation degree program), where they show anyone who got an 85 or higher in our last class on two large projector screens in an auditorium. Pretty sweet. On our "rough reel" I got an 83, so that meant i just had to do a little bit more to make the show. So I did, I made my reel a lot better (brightened up areas that were hard to see, timed things better to the music, added in motion graphic intros to each asset, and even textured another asset) and turned it in. Then on the last day of class (last Saturday) they told us that we wouldnt know if we made the cut until we saw it on the reel presentation.

So I go in today, pretty much 100% confident that I made the showing since I did a lot of work on my reel after I got the 83. First thing I notice is that this class had the biggest turnout ever for audience that ive seen in the two years ive been going. Not only that, but a friend says that 25 people's reels were being shown (our class size is only like 34 or something) and that is the largest number of reels ever shown in one presentation. Not only that, but our class has a reputation of being awesome, and so many people showed up that they couldnt fit everyone in. They let family and students in at the same time as random other people from our school who just wanted to see the presentation. This resulted in many of us and our families standing in the back of the room at our own ****ing demo reel show. Whats even better is that they're showing the reels alphabetically, and when my name is supposed to come up, it doesnt, and its the next person after me. WTF. So now obviously im angry, both at myself since i apparently didnt do enough, and at them, because my reel was better than some of the ones they showed. They even asked me for some of my assets so other students can use them in up coming classes.

So after the show I ask my teacher if I can find out my grade and he tells me he doesnt know off-hand, but that they should be posted on the website (we find out our grades through a student-only site). So I get home, and son of a bitch. I got an 86.6. ****ing assholes forgot to put my reel on their god damned dvd, so my family, friends and the biggest audience ever didnt get to see my reel because they ****ing forgot it.

Im so god damned pissed off right now.
 
Damn, that sucks.

Have your own showing :D

After working on it even MOAR! :O
 
that really sucks dude...don't you hate it when things go wrong at the worst possible time for the stupidest reasons?

In my senior year of high school, we had a big awards ceremony with all of the seniors. All of the people due to win an award were told to sit in the front in a specified section (we didn't know what award we won, just that we had won something). I got a note saying I was to sit there and so I did - and they proceeded to call out every award, with me wondering which was mine, until the end. I never got called, which made me feel rather foolish because I was with several friends in the award section who all got them.

Then later that day the principal randomly showed up in my Psychology class and apologized and announced it (they left the award on his desk instead of taking it to the assembly!) and I guess that made it better, although all it was was a commendation for having a very high SAT score.
 
That's sucks Krynn...

I have Sheila Winn tomorrow. It's a national Shakespeare competition. I play Lucius.

"Oh, worthy goth, this is the incarnate devil that robb'd Andronicus of his good hand.
This is the pearl that pleased you Empress's eye,
And here's the base fruit of her burning lust.
Say, wall eye'd slave, wither wouldst thou convey this growing image of thy fiend like face?
Why dost not speak? What, deaf? Not a word?
A halter, soldiers. Hang him on this tree and by his side his fruit of bastardy."

I'm nervous, man.

When I was like 20, I took a MS Visual Basic class in college. I had been wanting to be a games programmer since I was about 10 (my older brother was a programmer and got me into it)

So in the class, we got one big project that would be a huge portion of the final grade. We had the option of using MS VB, or MS VB Pro for the course. I went with the Pro version because you could do a hell of a lot more with it. So I had been using the Pro version for my project.

While the requirement of the project was to make a simple program that does anything, I loved programing, and couldn't wait to show how awesome I could make something. For months I spent most of my free time working on my project at home, which was a game for Windows, with graphics, and a computer controlled AI opponent that got increasingly more challenging as you got further in the game.

Anyway, some people just made a lame program that adds two numbers together. Wow x+y = z. really unimpressive.

So, I've got Straight A's so far in the class, and in all of my other computer classes. Near the end of the term, we turn in our projects. The next day I come in and he says, I couldn't get yours to work. It's not working. I said I had tested it from the disc before I brought it in. I told him how great it was, and what it did, and he said, well, I gave you an A- even though I couldn't get it to work, because I believe you.

So I bring it home and it works fine. I go in the next day and discuss it with him, and we realize it didn't work because I did it on MS VB Pro instead of the normal version. They don't have the Pro version so it didn't work! Why IN THE **** did he say we could use the Pro version for our projects if he wouldn't be able to even test it.


Aw man - so ****ing pissed. He refused to take any measures to be able to test the program, and refused to bump my grade to an A.

My perfect college straight A average has that blemish that should be an A+ if anything.

Well, it's been 13 years, but I'm still a little mad about it. And you will be too! :D
 
I've become addicted to Doom recently, firing it up every time I get 5 minutes of free time. And every doom session lasts for 20 minutes at least, so it's a drain on my time. :(

But the game itself is excellent (as it always was). It is the ONLY game that made mindless violence it's core gameplay and succeeded. Every moment of it is brilliant, some highlights being - the look on a cacodemon's face when you fire at with your chaingun, being surrounded by 10+ imps, and confronting a baron of hell. With OpenGL graphics, it actually looks good. The blood covered walls, the human faces plastered on walls, it's all perfect. No greater game can exist. :sniper:

Doom>Solitaire

EDIT: Wow, this makes me look really bad after that awesome tale posted above me..

Doom ought to come preinstalled with the next Windows OS.

I've got every version of Doom ever made and expansions etc.


I got the collectors edition with all of the classics. I remember playing Doom shareware when it came out, and playing it in the smallest little window with all the graphics turned all the way down, since I had a terrible PC.. with no sound. I finished it like this. heh.


Recently I played it in the highest resolution with everything turned up, and it's actually still not that bad looking. I would have loved to have played it like that back then.
 
The Hell Knight roar is still one of the most terrifying things ever.
 
It is such an awesome game. It's kinda sad you're the only marine left in the game there, though
 
John Stalvern waited. The lights above him blinked and sparked out of the air. There were demons in the base. He didn't see them, but had expected them now for years. His warnings to Cernel Joson were not listenend to and now it was too late. Far too late for now, anyway.
John was a space marine for fourteen years. When he was young he watched the spaceships and he said to dad "I want to be on the ships daddy."
Dad said "No! You will BE KILL BY DEMONS"
There was a time when he believed him. Then as he got oldered he stopped. But now in the space station base of the UAC he knew there were demons.
"This is Joson" the radio crackered. "You must fight the demons!"
So John gotted his palsma rifle and blew up the wall.
"HE GOING TO KILL US" said the demons
"I will shoot at him" said the cyberdemon and he fired the rocket missiles. John plasmaed at him and tried to blew him up. But then the ceiling fell and they were trapped and not able to kill.
"No! I must kill the demons" he shouted
The radio said "No, John. You are the demons"
And then John was a zombie.

Doom is was my first experience with being online in games. I saw my brother as a Marine on my screen. It was so cool.
 
My first online experience was in Quake 2 I think. It was amazing.
 
I've just 'finished' my essay. About 1,000 words off mark, but I can't be bothered. I've been up all night doing it (and all of last 2 days too, so it's not a last minute thing) and there's just **** all left to write about it.
Printing it off, then going to bed. Night guys.

Good nacht, dek!
 
Im peeling slightly on both arms, damn you sun! I go brown and THIS is how you treat me!?!?
 
I miss the Earth so much... I miss my wife,

It's lonely out in space,

On such a timeless flight.
 
I just realized how much I love my classroom

In our school, each class, well gets it's own classroom. An that's awesome, because we have 2 beds in the back of our class with lots of pillows. We have a set of speakers attached to the wall as well, and we use it to play songs from our MP3's when a break is happening. And it's air-conditioned, a great place to study, slack, play soccer..yes play soccer. (We have 2 wall holes now)

<3 my classroom.
 
I am le tired and have le cold.

These holidays started and continued with a bang up until Thursday. Looks like they are going to end with a whimper.
 
I had a dream I was going to a big damn smart uni and all my classes were with her and I met Will Wright. He was a jerk in my dream :(
 
I used to think it would be great if the building I have my classes in had a nap room. But now I've realized, that with all the time some people spend there without beds, they would probably start living there if they did have beds. And that would be pathetic.
 
i saw the sign, i opened up my heart i saw the sign
 
Because we as students have every right to do anything to our classroom, since each class is assigned a classroom. So we heaved up a bunch of mattresses and a wooden platform up 6 stories, and now we have 2 beds there with loads of pillows.
 
WARNING


Do NOT download and install "Folder Lock". Its supposedly to be a tool were you can put password on your porn fol...i mean...personal folders. Well, i installed, hit the icon and BOOM Blue screen of death. Restarted and logged in...BOOM bluescreen of death (it didnt do the boom sound but still) Then i decided to log into another account, which worked. I backed up my shit, then did a few virus scans that found nothing. Tried to unistall the program and it said "In order to unistall this program you must first START the program and get a code in order to unistall" wink wink...

So i just deleted every trace of the program i could, and now everything seems normal, hopefully.


:hmph:
