That's right, I know some of you pre-2006(2008 if we're feeling generous) people still browse here for some unknown reason. Get in here and tell us what ethereal accomplishments your meat vessel has 'achieved' in the past decade.

I'm a grad student hoping to be a PhD candidate in the next 6 months which should cement my ability to feel alienated when I visit my high-school best friends. But, you know, get money/knowledge/women and all that.

    Stopped going to 4chan, gained a sense of empathy, started fearing death, stopped eating meat unless it was freely offered... and some unimportant physical things, like graduating.

    I breath oxygen, it's also becoming quite an addiction :(

    And I've broken the light speed barrier... Twice... The first time was an accident and the second time was because I had to get back to this time. But I'm not allowed to talk about it or the universe as we know it will cease to exist...

    Hey man, you got a custom title referencing a Mario64 speed run video, that's something!

    Align, I don't know how I'd survive without being able to cook chicken all the time so you get my respect. Also, I just this minute got the joke in your avatar. Literally just now for the first time.

    Is it 42?

    I always heard it was 42.

    On the first day, God created the dog and said: "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of 20 years."

    The dog said: "That's a long time to be barking. How about only 10 years and I'll give you back the other 10?'

    So God agreed.

    On the second day, God created the monkey and said: "Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a 20-year life span."

    The monkey said: "Monkey tricks for 20 years? That's a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back 10 like the Dog did?"

    And God agreed.

    On the third day, God created the cow and said:

    "You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a life span of 60 years."

    The cow said: "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for 60 years. How about 20 and I'll give back the other 40?"

    And God agreed again.

    On the fourth day, God created man and said: "Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you 20 years."

    But man said: "Only 20 years? Could you possibly give me my 20, the 40 the cow gave back, the 10 the monkey gave back, and the 10 the dog gave back -- that makes 80, OK?"

    "OK," God said. "As long as you're sure."

    So that is why for our first 20 years we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next 40 years we slave in the sun to support our family. For the next 10 years we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And for the last 10 years we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.

    And that, my friends, is the meaning of life. Now you know.

    Was a college kid stumbling through some Half-Life maps.

    Now a 9+ year game industry veteran (currently working on Destiny at Bungie) married for 9+ years with an almost 8-year-old son.

    It's been a long time.

    Uhm, wow.. what have I done since then... I've.. Dated, broke up, dropped out of high school, returned to high school, dropped out again, dated more, broke up more, all ex-s had kids within a year of the relationship ending. Worked for years at a ton of random useless jobs, got heavy into drinking, got sent to the drunk tank, drank a lot more, quit my job and decided to go back to school. Finished high school, signed up for College and accomplished that. Signed up for University and now i'm going into my 2nd year of my Bachelors degree program.
