It did, luckily :D And that's totally fine, I mean, if I can rant out my stupid problems, you can rant out your feelings over my rant! XP
Also.. Kalliope, in my opinion, this IS technically on-topic, as it concerns one of the matters posted.

That I can't find the Ultimate edition for Dragon Age anywhere in the nearest shopping mall, I don't want to go to the city for it. Call me lazy.
Also, Makkie's mic dying, I curse that microphone to the deepest abyss in the twisting nether. Speaking of microphones I curse my own for making me sound like Megatron from transformers.
(slight offtopic: I send Kalliope hugs because I want to give a hug to somebody!)

It has nothing to do with being "off-topic," it has to do with the guidelines stated by Mania in the first post of the thread, which you may want to read again.
Thanks, Sonata!

Thing is, though, it's technically not derailment as it concerns the topic. It's not argument. And even if it did have something to do with the forums, how else was I going to vent out my problems? I can't exactly PM ALL the people from the PokeRP saying the exact same thing. Too much trouble, in my opinion.
Buuut, hey, like I said, just my opinion. *Skedaddles from the thread*

It's already been said, so I'm just gonna' get my take on the RP thing up and then leave it. Personally, the Poke RP takes too much time. Every morning there's 5+ pages of new posts that I have to read through, and it's very tiring. I prefer the WoW RP because it moves more in my pace, and I find that it's occassionally of a higher quality (Yes, this is my complaint about all the mix-breeds) with more character development. Again, just my opinion. I just got burned out on it. WoD, which was slower, was IMO the best of the Poke-RPs.
Anyhow: I'm going to need new glasses. *Storm of swears*

I hate hate HATE when people use a 1-10 scoring system impoperly.
Seriously, it's not that hard people. A score of 1 is the absolute worst you can imagine, doing anything more repugnant to it would be a step up. A score of 5 is average, neither good nor bad. A score of 10 is absolutely mind-blowingly fucking perfect in every single way.
Scoring above 10 does not make something beyond perfect, that's an impossibilty. All is does is make me want to reach though the screen and throttle you.
Pointing out the flaws in something, then giving it a 10 anyway defeats the purpose of the damned 1-10 scale.
Yes, it's not a perfect system of review. But at least use it fucking properly.
(Directed more to reviews off site than anything here.)
Edited out the off topic response. >.>

Ugh, I'm so glad my vision finally evened out. I totally know how you feel though Saturo. It seemed like almost every year as I was growing up that my eyesight kept growing worse and I had to keep getting new glasses. I was sooo glad when I finally got contacts. And now, I can't even wear my contacts anymore for some reason. For some stupid reason though, with my last pair of contacts, even though every pair before them fit, these ones refuse to fit right and I'm stuck wearing my glasses (which are cute at least) until I can afford to go to an eye doctor and be refitted for new contacts.
(And yes, that was a rant, just as my posts before were rant-ish. They were certainly more rant-like than the posts above them just offering consolation. I was ranting/explaining my feelings while hoping the person felt better--far as I'm aware, that fit the guidelines from how I interpreted them.)

Someone's new signature making me smudge my laptop's screen in an attempt to remove an insect from it.

(No, I'm not actually mad, this was more of a joke. I hope that you merely slept on your shoulder wrong, and nothing serious!)
EDIT: The continued urge to smush the phantom critter is also annoying. I'll get used to it, but it's not happening soon enough!

When people reply to you with "What" when you didn't ask them a question. If you don't understand what I'm trying to say then say so..Don't say "what"..It bugs me alot!

Holy shit that game is still around? I ended buying Heroes of Might and Magic 5; it has a similar feel to Might and Magic 3 even though it's done by a third party company. My parents have the Might and Magic 3 disc. Might and Magic 3 probably wouldn't even run on my new computer--it barely ran on their vista one.
OT: Only working 16 hours a week at work while someone who got hired after me gets 27 and I could really use the money.

My dad found it off some site that sells old games for cheap, you can download 'em. He copied onto my flashdrive, where I copied it on my ooooold laptop. But yeah, it's about. I never try the campaigns, ironically. I only play the singular scenarios. xD

It frustrates me when my own mother simply get it why I'm depressed...Telling me to not let why I'm depression bother me isn't going to help..I wish it was a simple as just not letting it get to you or stop stressing out over it...Really ? You think I ENJOY being depressed ? News flash! I DON'T! It's physically and mentally draining.. Meds help but they do not cure it.. /end rant
