Re: TC_Halogen - AMA
Yes and no. It was a nice hangout, but it really didn't get anywhere.
Do you have Skype?
Ugh... I had a feeling this question would come up if I made a mention of it, and I promised that I would answer questions honestly, so here goes.
I was going to a pretty well known high school in Chicago (Lane Tech College Prep) and I was doing pretty well for a while. I had made a couple of really close female friends. One of my friends I had a few classes with, and we mutually agreed that we were only friends, because neither of us had a real affectionate interest in one another. However, she got a boyfriend that was incredibly paranoid. He was also a lot bigger than I was overall.
I used to be very playful with her, I used to tickle her, playfully pinch her to start hilarious mini-fights that we used to have fun doing, and hell, when she pissed me off, I would pick her up and carry her on my shoulders because she was a twig (and I was in much better shape, lol). But, her boyfriend thought that I was hitting on her, not realizing that we were friends way before he was ever in the picture.
I ran into her boyfriend more frequently during the second half of my day, during my fifth to eighth period classes, and he started approaching me about the situation. I kept trying to reassure him that there was absolutely nothing going on and that we had no interest in one another, but he kept approaching me around the same point of the day, with increased aggression as time went by because I refused to give up a really close friend.
School started getting a bit more stressful -- I was having issues with my parents and couldn't confide in them with anything because they were too busy and childish with their own relationship issues that they couldn't bother to help me when I needed it most.
The day that I got kicked out, I had a really volatile confrontation with my mom, with her telling me that my mind wasn't focusing on the right things (playing a lot of video games and occasionally neglecting classwork by procrastinating - I still did get it done, though), and I told her to back off because she wasn't helping by constantly getting into fights and other unnecessary drama. I went to school in a pretty upset mood, and I was very reclusive about it too. Most of my classmates/friends knew that I was upset, but I didn't bother talking to any of them. And then, for a reason that I still don't understand, I got approached by her goddamn boyfriend again. I had my locker half open because I was just dumping all of my books in there since I had absolutely no homework that day, and he was essentially talking to me behind it, waiting for me to shut it to confront him. I can't remember what was really said anymore, but he said something that really pissed me off and I pulled the locker door open as hard as I could and ran. I'm not sure how much of him I hit, but I know for a fact I at least caught his face, because he was on the floor in pain. These locker doors were somewhat heavier than your normal locker door, too. That day was pretty empty near my locker, because my locker was on the 4th floor and the only reason I was up there that late was because of concert band sectionals. I'm not quite sure why he was still here, though.
I never went back to Lane after that. My parents never knew about anything - I would take my bookbag with me, but I would go to the local bowling alley (which at the time was 24 hours), linger around the park, grab a bite to eat, play some ITG here or there... whatever. My dad then sent me a message saying that I screwed up and got expelled (for truancy). He was upset, but he seemed to let it go pretty quickly. My mom didn't, though. I put up with it for another seven and a half months before booking it to live with Kayla.
I have made it past RtN a few times on my really good runs. However, I simply can't make it past Slippery Climb with that kind of pressure. The end of that level is such a pain.

Well, things have definitely started to look a lot better. I got my GED in June (the test was pathetically easy), and I actually start my journey in getting a Bachelors for Computer Science (Information Systems) on October 17th!

Do you have any hobbies that you think no one on FFR would've expected you to have?Comment

Re: TC_Halogen - AMA
I play a lot of the games that are spin (or rip) offs of television game shows. Who Wants to be a Millionaire, Family Feud, The Price is Right, Deal or No Deal, Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader, etc.
I love to swim, and I also love to cycle. If I was a great runner, I'd more than likely be actively training to do a triathlon. Unfortunately, I can't run for long distances anymore.

Re: TC_Halogen - AMA
If referring to CB, absolutely. I actually am looking to get a PS1 memory card again and Crash Bandicoot 3 so that I can go for full platinum + a few developer time sups. I was able to tie Orient Express' dev time on a PSP, which has a horrible d-pad/analog for CB.
Don't have one, unfortunately.
Hard to say. There are a lot of files that I really really like. Most of the files that I like are files that are very accent-heavy and have a great structure in addition to having great flow. Hellhounds on My Trail is definitely a favorite of mine; I also really like SOLROS (Vocal) because it has everything I would want to hear in a song combined with a really strong/heavy chart.
Honestly, I can't think of too many newbie newbies that I follow. I was very interested in Zekramcross for a long while, but his past involvement with Team Blaze made me uninterested in him and his behavior. In any event, he's really not a newbie anymore. I kinda wish Helixia and Frans813 would get a bit more involved in the community (not sure if those numbers are right), because I tend to see videos of them.
not sure what context this is, but I have a feeling, lolDo you spit or swallowComment

Re: TC_Halogen - AMA
You're playing poker with a tiger. You're holding Ac Ad and the flop is 4s 6s Qs. You notice that the tiger has started making loud growling noises like a bear, but seems focused on the game. It places a bet slightly higher than the minimum. Do you fold? call? raise? or run screaming?
What is your favourite halogen?
Why is water wet?
What is the 1 song you don't have an FC on?
Theorem: If you have a large enough number of monkeys, and a large enough number of computer keyboards, one of them will sight-read AAA death piano on stealth. And the ffr community will forever worship it. Proof Example
ask me anything here
mashed FCs: 329
r1: 5
r2: 4
r3: 6
r4: 8
r5: 3
r6: 5
r7: 15
final position: 4thComment

Re: TC_Halogen - AMA
It happened back during custom tournament #7; me, Kayla and hi19 were having a stupid argument and we removed his files. I should put some of those back at some point, lol.
I'd run screaming if I somehow ended up playing against a literal tiger.You're playing poker with a tiger. You're holding Ac Ad and the flop is 4s 6s Qs.

In a normal situation, in late position, I'd put out a reasonable re-raise and potentially push to a four-barrel, depending on the way the player's style has been. If this player is normally a loose player, I'll let them know that I do have a wide range of their typical hands beat.
*shrug* I only made the name because I was a fan of chemistry at the time and I needed something that was a decent name. I'll just say flourine (that's from memory, I could be wrong about that being one) because that's the first thing that came to mind.
No idea. I can only speculate. Saying that water is wet because it is a liquid doesn't explain why a liquid is wet, and water is a liquid so...
Death Piano. However, I actually did FC the song. I lost my FC (137-77-0-127) from a long while back (at least two and a half years ago) to my non-FC (82-4-7-15) from a little less than a year ago.Comment
