3. AAA'ing Crowdpleaser. It was something I always used to think was "obviously impossible" until a bit of experimentation proved otherwise.

Hard to say, but if I had to guess -- probably Reach. We have different personalities, of course, but we both share very similar thought processes in terms of skepticism and backing things up with facts/reason/research. We tend to arrive at very comparable conclusions on a great deal of subjects (and for similar reasons, too).
I also identify closely with darkshark in terms of the desire to constantly self-improve/succeed. I've watched his progression over time and it's pretty inspiring stuff. Every time I see him post some random two-hour artistic ditty on Facebook that is like ten times better than anything I could ever make in six months, it's a powerful reminder to me to break away from my day-to-day grind to focus on learning/doing something creative/fun.
Got ninja'd by a few hours but yes Toonami is back.
However, it is the exact same as Adult Swim every Saturday, only with the Toonami name/theme instead of the adult swim theme. Exact same shows + 1 or 2 new dumpy ones
Agreed, I almost regret sending in that long email about bringing back toonami. At least they did manage to put some newer stuff on there. It seems like they are limited to airing only dubbed / licensed anime so the selection isn't that great.
why did you go to the college you went to (penn? is that cool to say? you went there right) and what do you think of it now
yeah, Penn, although technically i just tell people Wharton bc that's the name of the business school. if i say Penn by itself, people don't know if I mean Penn State or UPenn, and even if they guess UPenn, they don't know if it's CAS, SEAS, Wharton, etc.
I went there because I thought it'd be a good chance to get into the investment banking field, which is a pretty surefire path to earning millions by the time you're in your 30's. The problem: I found out real quick that investment banking wasn't for smart people who actually cared about doing something interesting/worthwhile -- it was for extroverted-and-bright-yet-nevertheless-meatheaded dudes who were into "models and bottles," as the culture is called. Totally not my style. I had a girlfriend at the time who was going to Princeton, too, which was an hour and a half away. I figured Penn was the best of all worlds.
Looking back, I didn't like my time in college at all. Too many of my peers were sheltered types from well-off families, and it made me feel really out of place since I had to work all the time just to make ends meet. Classes weren't that interesting, either, and I didn't make many friends because I was depressed/busy for most of it (I had maybe 4-5 decent friends and 20 acquaintances upon graduating). It's a good school -- it just wasn't a good fit for me. I would have enjoyed Stanford more. I could have studied compsci, enjoyed fantastic weather, enjoyed my classes, had better aid, etc. Would have had to break up with my gf at the time, but of course hindsight is 20/20.
