The Late Night/Early Morning Thread!
 
The time is now 3:45 am here in Toronto, Ontario.......AND I'M BORED AS HELL! If anyone is around expose yourself! Feel free to come and chat in here when no one else is around.

*Goes back to doing nothing* :blanksta:

Halfshell 04-16-2004 01:48 AM

pretty darn borning at 2:50 am, when you get off of work

Peanut 04-16-2004 01:50 AM

You're damn right it is. I've been sitting here for the last couple of hours just refreshing the page and singing to myself. :sleep:

Halfshell 04-16-2004 01:51 AM

What do you do from getting bored?

That Matt Guy 04-16-2004 01:52 AM

You have nothing better to do?

Peanut 04-16-2004 01:53 AM

I don't think there's anything TO do. I've got no videogames to play, no books to read, no people to chat to, there's never anything on at this hour of the morning and sleep doesn't seem like an option for me. Just one of those nights/mornings I suppose.

Edit: Not at this hour I don't.

Halfshell 04-16-2004 01:53 AM

actually i dont, not @ 3 am, i work from 6 pm to 1 / 2 am go to bed at 6 am

Peanut 04-16-2004 01:56 AM

On top of it all it doesn't seem like my photobucket account is working. :evil:

Edit: ok now it is....weird.

That Matt Guy 04-16-2004 01:57 AM

I work from 10 PM to 6 AM. I'm off tonight, so I have a good excuse.

Peanut 04-16-2004 01:58 AM

I have no excuse for this...except that on some nights I find sleep impossible.

Halfshell 04-16-2004 01:59 AM

im on just because i dont want to do anything else

Peanut 04-16-2004 02:01 AM

If I wasn't so damn lazy I could hook up my SNES and play some old games...it's just too much work though.

That Matt Guy 04-16-2004 02:02 AM

I'm just cruising through ebay looking for good deals on junk.

Halfshell 04-16-2004 02:03 AM

you know what ahppens when you do stuff like that you drag it out start to put it together get halfway done and say F**k it it aint worth itm leave it out then the next morning you've got a mess

That Matt Guy 04-16-2004 02:05 AM

You should just leave it hooked up forever. I've had my NES plugged in for about 7 years.

Peanut 04-16-2004 02:06 AM

:lol: Actually that's what I just did. I pulled it out a drawer where I just chucked my NES, SNES and 64 and now I've just got a jumble of cables...now where to plug the damn thing in. I might venture to the back of my tv cabinet. I've gotten myself into a fine mess this time!

Edit: Thing is my NES cable hook up is rather messed up...I threw out a brand new one I found in a friends apartment for some dumb ass reason. It seriously messes up my cable picture when I hook it up. Gets all fuzzy and stuff. Plus I just can't stand that little screw on thing. They never make the area where it screws on big enough and my fingers won't fit. :sweatdro:

Halfshell 04-16-2004 02:09 AM

i would leave mine hooked up, but i've got a NES, SNES, Sega, Xbox, Gamecube, and an Atari. I cant hook them all up together

Peanut 04-16-2004 02:12 AM

Sweeeeeet! Got some Turtles in Time going here!

Halfshell 04-16-2004 02:18 AM

i guess mike gonna be off now :(

Peanut 04-16-2004 02:20 AM

Nope I'm still here! :D

Halfshell 04-16-2004 02:22 AM

You're playing SNES and on the Drome, you're CPU must be near your SNES

Peanut 04-16-2004 02:23 AM

Yeah it's right beside me. I have my comp in my room right next to my tv cabinet. I don't even have to move my chair. I just turn to the right and I'm facing the tv.

Halfshell 04-16-2004 02:24 AM

now that'a a nice conveince

Peanut 04-16-2004 02:26 AM

Yes it is. I made sure when I set my room up that it'd be right beside me. It makes everything so much easier. Especially when you're chatting with someone online. You can watch tv and chat at the same time. I like to multi-task! :D

Edit: My Penny Arcade Update just went off! That means there's a new comic online! :D

Halfshell 04-16-2004 02:27 AM

i try to set up like that but the apartment makes it hard to do that

Peanut 04-16-2004 02:29 AM

Yeah I live in an apartment too. My room is pretty small so everything is rather close together as it is. It's good though. I can basically access whatever I need without moving out of my chair! That makes me sound pretty lazy!

Halfshell 04-16-2004 02:37 AM

where my CPU is i gotta hop over my bed to get to it

Peanut 04-16-2004 02:39 AM

My bed is on the opposite side of the room from my comp and tv. Wow! I just learned a new move in this game. I never knew there was a running sliding attack. :o

Halfshell 04-16-2004 02:41 AM

just hold the arrow key, run then while still running press attack?

Peanut 04-16-2004 02:44 AM

No. I would have expected that too. When running I pushed the jump button and he did a flip and when i pushed attack during that flip he did some kind of sliding kick. It was cool! :D

Halfshell 04-16-2004 02:48 AM

Here's a trick, if you're in spot where you can run to and end or a wall, and just right before you stop. press the jump repeatly, you shpould be able to do continious flips.

Peanut 04-16-2004 02:49 AM

:D Heh heh! That looks cool! I haven't played this game very much. I found it about 2 years ago in some cheap game store. It's closed now no surprise, but it was a great deal at only $5!

Halfshell 04-16-2004 02:51 AM

:o only $5 i bought mine for $15 at a gamestop

Peanut 04-16-2004 02:53 AM

Yep only $5 and that's Canadian dollars too. I bought that and the Spider-Man/X-Men game for $10. I just lost on the first fight against Shredder in the Technodrome. :cry: I lost my skillz completely it seems. Ah well. Maybe I'll play something else. The question is what.

Halfshell 04-16-2004 02:55 AM

That depends on what kind of games you like, i like fighting games.

Peanut 04-16-2004 02:59 AM

Sadly I don't have any fighting games...actually I might have Street Fighter II Turbo but I'm not sure I'll have to check. I feel like playing a Mario game or maybe Star Fox. I bought that game for $10 about 4 years ago and I've never even played it.

Halfshell 04-16-2004 03:00 AM

Mario's alaways good, trying to find hidden areas.

Peanut 04-16-2004 03:02 AM

I think I'll play Yoshi's Island. I haven't played it in forever. I do indeed have Street Fighter I can remember buying it off a friend along with NHL98 and WWF Royal Rumble but I think I left it at my cottage along with my second SNES. That means NHL98 is up there too...along with Earthworm Jim 2...DAMN IT! :sweatdro:

Halfshell 04-16-2004 03:04 AM

At least you're not completely limited to a selection

Peanut 04-16-2004 03:06 AM

This is true. I could also always break out my Genesis or 64 and have a go at some games. Although I only have 4 games for Genesis. Sonic 2,3, Ecco and WWF Wrestlemania. My 64 selection is limited too. I sold most those games. I regret that now.
