Wait, that is the Club Nintendo reward list... O.o I would suggest Game and Wario or Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D if you don't already have either... I mean, those are legit, full-priced games! (well, maybe Game and Wario is half-priced, BUT STILL)

 

And since I don't have either of those two... I dunno which one I would get... :/ *is platinum status*

The games I want the most are Donkey Kong Country and Dillon's Rolling Western. I kind of want Earthbound just because of the fact that it has a cult following and is considered a huge classic.

ve also only had one speeding ticket in my 3 or 4 years of driving. ;3

 

You evil evil person

 

Boop so hola whats pasa here?  

[Admiral Regulus 2,769]

The max speed limit in my area is, what, 65MPH? Or, what is that in metric, 105km/h? I'm still not comfortable driving faster than 60MPH. Or 96km/h. And the nearest interstate highway is a bajillion miles from me.

 

Why am I using metric? Because the moddev I work on dictates that I do, even if it's rendered down to units divided by powers of 2.

 

Well, in my defense, I only did that once, and that was because the people around me were doing 90-95 mph at the time. I was just going with the flow of traffic when I looked down at my speedometer and saw it was reading 25 over the limit.

[Rainblow H. Ash 5,091]

I speed all of the time and I don't care. I haven't been caught either.

 

The only time I don't speed if there is inclement weather. In that case, that's just a death wish.

[Panne 1,342]

I only have my temporary/probationary license so I don't speed... in town.

Random question: What's the worst weather you ever witnessed for driving? For me, water and snow.

Random question: What's the worst weather you ever witnessed for driving? For me, water and snow.

When I used to live with my parents I once left the house to go pick up some Hardees, and it rained so bad I couldn't even see a foot outside of my car. Had to drive like one mile per hour with my emergency lights on and try to follow the curb I could barely see back to the house.

Heavy rain. Like seriously heavy rain. Rain that's so heavy you can't see more than 3 meters ahead of you.

I don't drive, but I'm from Las Vegas and it gets almost no rain or snow, but since the city isn't set up at all for either, when it does snow or they get a harder rain storm, driving is just a disaster.

 

When it rains really hard, we'd get flash floods because we don't have any of the structural design for preventing floods you'd normally expect in a city.  Because of this some areas would get slammed with over a foot of water.  Case in point...

 

 

 

 

And then snow is horrible too.  I only remember one time that we got enough snow for it to stick on the road... we got a half of an inch of snow on the roads and they had to cancel school and issue weather advisories because we had a city full of people who didn't have tires for driving on ice and didn't know how to drive on ice.

 

So yeah... bad drivers + unexpected weather is the worst I've seen...

 

On a completely unrelated note... I'm surprised this forum doesn't have a more active general chat thread... all the forums I've been active on before have had super active threads getting posted in constantly all day long, and yet I haven't even noticed this thread before today  Just odd....

Club Nintendo is a website that you go to and register all of the products from nintendo that you buy. If you buy them new that is. Like each game and console comes with that little red redeem code card in their case, you go to the site, type it in, say why you wanted it, get coins, spend the coins on nintendo character posters, game cases, shirts, bags, etc. If you hok your club nintendo account up to your eshop account on your 2DS it will automatically register any downloads. In short you just get free nintendo junk and when you hit a certain amount of coins you get gold rewards then platinum rewards.

I haven't set up my the internet on my 2ds yet so I guess I'll do that now and redeem the console it has a red code in the box.

Can't a pony blow air through their wind pipe in peace?

A unicorn likes a smoke of the 'old toby' now and then.

Helps a pony think about how abstract the friendship of magic can be sometimes.

Has anyone ever heard of Star Citizen before? My friend told me about it last night, and now I'm going crazy thinking about how awesome it's gonna be. It's supposed to be a spiritual successor to Freelancer or something... but from what I've seen, it almost looks like Gran Turismo in space, lol.

 

Here's the ship I just bought:

 

[Ganaram Inukshuk 3,682]

Has anyone ever heard of Star Citizen before?

No, but I've heard of the Six Californias proposal. Apparently, there's an initiative to break California into six Californias, presumably so that the governments of each of the six Californias can better benefit the people by being closer. Could be a "meh" thing for me since not much happens in the desert, though if I wanna visit my relatives or they wanna visit us, they'd have to cross as much as 2 or 3 state borders.

 

Then you'd need six more state constitutions, six more state flags (wow, Six Flags now has a whole new meaning), six more state quarters, and then you have to affix five more stars to the US flag.

 

Also, there's a lot of stuff that other languages have that English doesn't. Exclusive and inclusive first-person plural pronouns, and a plural you. When I said "though if I wanna visit my relatives or they wanna visit us, they'd have to cross as much as 2 or 3 state borders", I don't mean you and me, I mean me and my immediate family. Unless you were invited to the party, then it would be you and me.
