I'm not sure if anyone else experienced this when applying places, but I figured it'd be worth sharing, as it's quite irritating. So, I've applied to some 8 schools so far, and so far only 3 have gotten back to me, with two acceptances and one rejection. That's normal, and I'm not really complaining, but unfortunately I've got to get back to those two that accepted me with a yes or no by May 1st. The only real issue with that is that I'm not going to hear back from a good 3 of the other schools until May 1st is passed. That seems a tad shortsighted, but I can't see myself committing to the two schools that have accepted me until I've at least heard back from the rest. So. Anyone else have this issue? I suppose it's because I'm applying as a transfer student as well as to some private schools, but still, it's irritating.

It's a Sharkbanana. I regret nothing.

Yeah. I mean, I get why they did it, it just seemed sort of like a forced way to get one more character in there when the game already felt like one giant coincidence.

So I finished it. Finally.

Doing the last mission at the moment.

Half-Life 2.

This sounds like it will be a complete clusterfuck. Color me excited.

Just played the second level from the demo.

I agree. I just didn't quite expect it that early in the game. Also, I just chased a kid through a forest while ambient music played in the background. I don't know what that is, but I'm not sure I want it in my Mass Effect. I just punched a reporter in the face. I don't think my Shepard is the type to get haunted by a single kid.

So I started playing today finally.

Then we'll sue for false advertising.

Oh man, that screenshot gives off some total Bioshock and Half-Life 2 vibes. If a game has an art style of those two games combined, I don't really care if doesn't play great.

So a baby seal walks into a club.

This one might belong in the US politics thread. So a terrorist, a muslim, and a socialist walk into a bar.

Been listening to their new album most of tonight. It's really not bad. I've never really been a fan of the Shins as a band, always sort of preferred the stuff James Mercer did with other people, but I like it. It doesn't really do anything new, but it's nice, pleasant, easy to digest indie pop.

That's the one that Mr. Oizo and the guy from Justice did the soundtrack for, isn't it? I was tempted to watch it just for the asinine plot and the soundtrack, but maybe I'll take a pass after all.

"Donation-based Lines of Code" Then we can keep the DLC acronym while recognizing it for what it usually is.

First one of these I've skipped. Perhaps bundle oversaturation is finally getting to me.

I'm just kind of in the camp that spending is neither inherently republican or democrat, spending is just something done in office. Republicans spend. Democrats spend. Sometimes democrats spend more. Sometimes republicans spend more. It just seems odd to assign the title of spending more to a single party when really, spending is just something politicians do.

Just because we're republicans doesn't mean we we are only mad at democrats over spending. There were plenty of people, myself included, who were not happy with the spending that the republicans did in the 2000's. G.W. Bush was not a fiscal conservative. But you seem to think of excessive spending as a democrat thing to do? I know those are Battra's words, not yours, but it seems unreasonable to think of spending as historically worse for one party than another.
