AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! I couldnt have said it better myself!

AHHH...ITS DONE!!! This semester was a bit rough. I had a grad-level History course on global diplomacy from 1890-1945. I had to do a 6000 word research paper in the end, and ended up writing about why it took the U.S. 15 years to recognize Soviet Russia (although I concentrated on just the years 1917-1918). My other three courses were all education courses (since Im in grad school to get my masters in education with a concentration in social studies). All three involved an insane presentation. One was a group presentation which we gave in class today, on the good and bad of standardized testing. Let me tell you, working in a group of six is not as easy as it sounds. Smaller groups are definitely better. My second group presentation was actually for an online course on integrating media into the classroom. My partner and I did ours on how different media agencies (CBS, ABC, NBC, FOX, CNN, and Comedy Central) depict the news in different ways, based on each sources political bias. My final presentation was the one that was most realistic and helpful. Basically, everyone had to write up a 10-day unit plan, and then present one of the lessons in class, which I did on Tuesday. I chose to do mine on a Participation in Government class, and the unit was "the rights and responsibilities of citizens." The entire unit was actually pretty interesting in the end, and I ended up using three different episodes of The Simpsons in order to teach about the process of naturalization, the differences between Republicans and Democrats and how they are viewed, and on running for office. I taught the lesson on naturalization in class, and it went over well. I really liked working on the Participation in Government lesson. I think that would be a real fun class to teach. So yeah, I am just so happy that Im done for the semester. Well, at least at college. Starting in a few weeks, I will be going into the middle school I was assigned to and start observing. I basically observe until February, then I begin to help out in class and do stuff, and by the end of March I will actually be teaching lessons every couple of days. Im looking forward to getting into the classroom and out of the college classrooms. Ive just been there so long it makes me sick. But by December 2009, I will be a certified teacher in NYS!!!

So I call it a galaxy, Tex calls it a sector, and you call it a solar system... But I do concede my point...

See, I dont agree with that. I dont see all that being a "galaxy". For instance, the way I see it, we currently live in the "Milky Way Galaxy", but we know there are other galaxies out there. Our galaxy has 9 planets (doh, 8 now, poor Pluto...). Thats my say and Im sticking to it, dangnabbit (wait, isnt that something you would say?)

Then whats your definition of a galaxy?

Howdy, and welcome. I think I can answer your questions. 1. There are no planet cards. With the editor though, you can change the names of the galaxies and the planets. 2. Yes, if you have the patience to sit there and retype the names to what you want them to be 3. No, there is no way to add additional planets, or to have more than 10 planets per galaxy 4. Yes 5. Once you have RebEd installed, there is an option on the main menu called "Galaxy Editor" or something like that. When you go into it, you will see every sector and system. Simply highlight the name you want to change, and you will be able to type over it. Just save your changes when you're done, and you will be good to go. Hope this helps.

Speaking of winter fun, heres some pics of my cat getting into trouble. Loki in trouble Closeup

Heh. Im really surprised its almost December and we havent gotten an accumulation of snow yet here in upstate NY. Its very, very odd.

Wow, that thing is really quite creepy looking.

Thanks. Unfortunately, I am currently only playing one game that has trophies, so my collection will be weak for awhile...

That worked E. Thanks.

Hey E, I just realized that our post counts are...inaccurate. I had my 3000th quite some time ago, and now I only have 3003. What made me realize this was when I saw Mad talking about his 8000th, but his posts only say 7990. Edit: Also, I cant change my sig. Whenever I add to it, my old one remains there. The updated one remains in the "My Info" page, but does not appear attached to my posts.

If only it were Sasquatch instead of a unicorn...

Unfortunately, Left 4 Dead has not been released for the PS3. Theres rumor that its in the works though...

I dont think Id ever want to see Jar Jar animated. I mean, everyone else looks odd enough...throwing him in it just...unnecessary.

Guess I'll put my PSN ID out there: BigBadBob113.

Just wanted to add that the misses nephew is into the Clone Wars, and I was in charge of getting his Christmas gifts. He wanted figures, so I snagged an R2, Obi-Wan, and Grevious (most of the toys out now are based on the Clone Wars series.) I also snagged him a classic shirt with Chewie on it. Good stuff.

Wow...havent seen you around in a looooong time. Welcome back! Unfortunately, I cant help you with your question. I still have my ol' lappy. Im sure someone else who has Vista will come along shortly.

I tried watching Blade Runner once, but didnt make it through. I found it really boring at the time when I saw it (maybe 6-8 years ago or so).

From what I heard, the TMNT movie was supposed to actually be a sequel from the other movies. Since Shredder "died" in the second movie, he wasnt in this new one. However, they hinted that he might return in the sequel to the new animated one.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Edit: Its been 25 years since the comic was first written. That calls for a celebration

When pirates strike YARRRRR!!! Edit: This is just weird Edit 2: The future of Star Wars

The first two were priceless and awesome. The third one...I hated it. The funny thing is that I remember hating it back when it was first released in theaters when I was a child. It was just a disappointment to not include any of the villains into that movie. I mean, all in all, the only villain from the show to make it into the movies was Shredder. None of the other major villains, like Bebop, Rocksteady, Krang, or Baxter Stockman made it. It was a true disappointment then and now. Wow...I dont think Ive ever ranted about the TMNT movies before...

Yeah, Fallout 3 is on my wish list for the PS3. Apparently it was made with the same Oblivion engine, so Im sure I will enjoy it immensely, although I never played the first two...

For those who have played Metal Gear.
