I still can't figure out why future-Peter has a scar. What happened to his healing ability?
In the current future (where the present Hiro and Ando teleported to), Peter *didn't* save the cheerleader, and therefore didn't get her power and can't heal.

Just a reminder, the poetry comp is starting in two fun-filled days!

Engaged here, as of 24 hours ago.

Not the two hour gap he was talking about. He was refering to the two hour period between the West AJ Murders and the Norris Hall Massacre. Why the killer waited two hours before returning to campus and slaughtering the engineers. Especially the reports that he was asking about his girlfriend in Norris, when it seems his girlfriend was the first one he killed, more then two hours earlier. That points to the killer simply being batshit insane.
I was talking about the authorities' delay in alerting students/taking action, and not necessarily in response to the previous poster.
New information has emerged that may help explain a fateful two-hour delay by university officials in warning the campus of a gunman at large. According to search warrants and statements from the police, campus investigators had been busy pursuing what appears to have been a fruitless lead in the first of two shooting episodes Monday.After two people, Emily Jane Hilscher, a freshman, and Ryan Clark, the resident adviser whose room was nearby in the dormitory, were shot dead, the campus police began searching for Karl D. Thornhill, who was described in Internet memorials as Ms. Hilscher’s boyfriend.
According to a search warrant filed by the police, Ms. Hilscher’s roommate had told the police that Mr. Thornhill, a student at nearby Radford University, had guns at his town house. The roommate told the police that she had recently been at a shooting range with Mr. Thornhill, the affidavit said, leading the police to believe he may have been the gunman.
But as they were questioning Mr. Thornhill, reports of widespread shooting at Norris Hall came in, making it clear that they had not contained the threat on campus. Mr. Thornhill was not arrested, although he continues to be an important witness in the case, the police said.

This could help explain the two-hour delay.

^ That's sick.
-
Wow, that's really terrible. It seems so close to home, even though Virginia Tech is pretty far from Michigan. The fact that it happened at a college, though, makes it very scary.
You'll be in my prayers, GA, as well as your friends and fellow classmates.

^ That's pretty nice. I personally wouldn't buy a car for $50 grand. I'm not big into spending money like that.
-
I didn't read the whole thread, so this may have already been posted, but as far as I can tell this car would normally be almost 12 grand at a dealer.
Right...even my brother who doesn't like Ford isn't so stupid to think so lowly of the Mustang. The Mustang is priced great for what you get, although it could use a little improvement with the brakes.And really, of the 3 main American car manufacturers, I'd pick Ford over all of the others. The other 2 can't even make any car I'd find attractive enough to buy at the price range it retails for (i.e. Corvette for $50k+? I'd rather buy a luxury car at that price), while at least Ford does manufacture some solid cars at the lower price points.
I have a decent respect for mustangs, with the one exception being the last model, which I don't like at all. Also, what luxury car would you get for $50-60,000? (sincerely curious) AFAIK, there aren't many cars in that price range that will outpace a 'Vette, if you're looking primarily at speed, but if you look at comfort I suppose there are at least a few nice cars you can get in that range. Or you could always get two Mustangs...

Also, G_D, are you going to update the other thread with the entries that were linked?
Done. LOL 10 CHARACTERS

FINALLY
the results are in! And the winner is (drumroll please)...
Barnsalot, with the runner-up being Manic Cinq. Here are your fancy sig badges, made by Doulifée:
Sorry for the long delay. Hopefully the next competition will run a little smoother.
Speaking of which, I am updating the first post, and want to give you advanced notice that there will be a poetry competition starting May 1. Hopefully that won't conflict with anyone's finals week.
So, congratulations to the winners, and thanks to everyone for participating. I hope to see you all in a couple weeks!

i may come, depending on when and where.
-
I predict before any new news comes out this thread will die and be reborn, which would probably be a good thing right about now.
-
This is a cruel punishment.
-
Sorry guys. I've been really busy; this was my first week back at school. I will get the results up as soon as possible.
-
^ Yeah, as a Christian I still can't figure out why private Christian colleges produce so many young couples.
I will be engaged, and married summer '08, provided all goes as planned.

Who made Katamari? Id say its pretty innovative
Namco. They're a pretty good dev, IMO.

BTW, propers to G_D for admitting your mistakes with those edits.
I hate misinformation, even when it's coming from me.

Agreed. Frankly, I haven't seen Nintendo make anything that tops Sony titles for creativity/fun factor in years. Sony is the best first party developer as far as I'm concerned, and one of the best developers overall, but no one really realizes it since it's usually their second parties with their names slapped on the titles.
And anyone who claims that God of War 1 or 2 aren't remarkable either hasn't played them, is high/brain damaged, or both (I suppose they could just be crazy too).
STOP. BEING. DUMB. Sony HAS NEVER and WILL NEVER develop a 1st party title. SONY IS NOT A DEVELOPER. They are a publisher. The only exclusives they have are at best 2nd party titles (i.e. GT4, God of War, Ico/SotC, etc.) and at worst 3rd party exclusives (i.e. Virtua Fighter, Final Fantasy, etc. which are getting more and more rare).
Sadly enough, if we were to get into a "best developer" debate, I'd probably be tempted to go with Namco/Bandai. Nintendo is the best 1st-party developer, since I believe it is also the ONLY 1st-party developer now that Sega is software-only.
EDIT: Forgive me, I lied. Apparently SCE developed Ape Escape and LocoRoco.
EDIT 2: It seems the only difference between Sony and Nintendo is that Sony incorporates their 2nd-party devs to make them look like 1st-party. Nintendo keeps themselves separate as a developer from their 2nd-party devs.
EDIT 3: What the heck. Apparently I don't know anything, and you should ignore this whole post. Somehow Intelligent Design and Retro Studios are 1st-party...

So I picked up Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow today at Best Buy for $10. Pretty good deal, I'd say. I haven't started playing yet, though.

They need to put Navi in the game just so everyone can KILL HER. A LOT.
It would be a great stress reliever, kinda like fighting 3 Level 1 Jigglypuffs on infinite stock, with their handicap on 1 and yours on 9.

Well, I just dusted off my rusty old Pentium 2 (jk) to find out that you can watch TV on the frikkin internet! (yeah pirating on youtube, etc...I get it, I'm slow)
Anyway, I started watching Heroes, and I actually think it's pretty good so far. It's tough to say, because I've only seen episodes 1 and 16, but it seems to be one of the better serious series on TV these days. Besides that, Hiro is awesome.
So how about you? Watch it? Like it?
