Off Topic 2013

Any of you ever play the original Ninja Gaiden on NES ?

I couldn't get past the first few levels when I was a little kid. That **** is hard.

Don't know if it's any worse than ghosts n goblins. Screw that game.

Angry game nerd sums up my feelings about it pretty well, YouTube AVGN ghosts n goblins if you want.

I couldn't do jack in that game as a child, to be honest.

It may have been because I was a child, but a lot of NES games were hard as hell for me. I spent a lot of my time playing Mario, Excitebike, and Ducktales because of this

I thought Excitebike was cool because of the track builder. I can still hear the bike and music sounds in my head.

That was my second favorite NES game behind the original Bases Loaded.

Someone on my Facebook stated they had a 5 Hour Energy and 2 Red Bulls today. Either they're lying or their heart will give out fairly soon.

Not to be "that guy" to one up a story, but there were a couple of kids in my platoon when I was still active duty that would go through at very minimum one of those red bull 4-packs every day. It varied between 4-7 cans for them depending on what we were doing. It was horrifying, disgusting and, yet, very intriguing to keep track of.

Infantry is seriously a bunch of filthy creatures put together.

That's just sickening to think about.

Was 0311. Same thing, just a bit better

I will say that there have been a few times I was guilty of dip and cigs at the same time. Its funny though because once I got out I didn't have the urge to do either of those things.

I actually took advantage of all the tobacco fiends and bought 2-3 logs of tobacco and a few cartons of cigarettes per field problem.

Around day 5 or 6 everyone had run out, and the longer they went with no tobacco, the higher my profit margin went up.

By the end of the field problem I would probably end up with an extra $300-$400 dollars in IOUs...payable upon return.

I miss those days

Them some fightin' words.

I agree though I instantly quit dipping as soon as I got out.

Re: Off Topic 2013

I've never had a 5 hour energy before.

In High School I worked fast food and I had instances where I worked 8-8 on during the summer. It was usually followed by staying up until 4am drinking club 400 or vodka so I relied on energy drinks to get me through the day.

I remember one of those shifts I drank two of the 3x Monster Energy drinks and an uncut cocaine energy drink. I was wired, tired, and delerious at the same time.

I was drinking at least one or two energy drinks a day, even when I wasn't working. Those things are terrible for you, but man I love the taste of a Monster or red bull.

Now I go weeks at a time without an energy drink and It usually involves a little drinking. I'm a huge fan of Vegas Bombs (Red bull, crown, peach schnapps (sp?), and cranberry).

Or alternatively (assuming it's not one of the front page threads) just mouse over the little folder icon in the leftmost column which will be marked with a black dot if you've posted in that thread.

How did you figure that out? Have you moused over everything on the site to see what it does?
