I don't know if you guys noticed......

.....but I have been gone for quite a while. Now, before any of you start wondering why I was gone, let me assure you that it had nothing to do with time-travel, sickness, death, or Jack Bauer shooting me in the head. I guess the easiest way to sum it up is to say that I got bored with GameSpot and basically stopped coming on. But, now I'm back and better than ever. Well, actually I don't know if I'm better than ever but I am back, nevertheless.

Now, for the bad news. In my absense, I've come to realize that I was in way too many unions and not active enough in many of them. So, I'm sorry to say that not only will I be leaving several unions but I'm sorry to say that I will also be relinquishing my title as leader of the PAU. When I took the position I thought I could bring it back from the dead and make it much better but do to this recent hiatus it seems to be in no better shape now then when I took over. So, I am handing over the reins to whoever wants it, with the hopes they will do a better job than myself.

Also, I want to point out that I have a whole bunch of messages and I don't intend on replying to any of them. Most of them are junk and the rest can be answered by reading this blog so, there you go.

Uhh, i think that covers it all, ok then. Seeya around. Also, I don't think I will be bringing back the riddles now but then again, I might change my mind down the road.

My 360 is DEAD.

I'm too sad to write anything else. I might elaborate tomorrow, if I'm not overcome with grief.

The worse part about this is that I just rented 2 games.

Level 15 and 2500 posts + Riddle

This is gonna be short. I just saw that I got to level 15 today. On top of that, I got 2500 posts a while ago

About a month ago, I would've been very excited about that but I'm just not feeling it today. I've noticed this a lot lately. I'm just not as enthusiatic about GS as I used to be. Maybe I've gotten a little jaded, who knows.

Anyways, here's a riddle. I thought it was kinda easy.

In a contest, four fruits (an apple, a banana, an orange, and a pear) have been placed in four closed boxes (one fruit per box). People may guess which fruit is in which box. 123 people participate in the contest. When the boxes are opened, it turns out that 43 people have guessed none of the fruits correctly, 39 people have guessed one fruit correctly, and 31 people have guessed two fruits correctly. The Question: How many people have guessed three fruits correctly, and how many people have guessed four fruits correctly?

Cool stuff w/ riddle

I just got the results of a test I took a month ago. I passed YAY. Now I get my diploma and get to go to college this fall. I'm so happy.

Oh, here's a riddle.

Again this one is pretty simple.

A woman is about to be executed. She has been a good citizen for most of her life so the executioner decides to let her choose how she would like to be executed; no matter how bizarr, time-consuming or costly it is. What matter of deatrh should she choose or will it make a difference?

This is not a blog

This is not a real blog in my mind. It's a continuation of the previous blog. Seeing as how this is one is super small and the previous one was so brief I'm combining them into a super blog. So just pretend that this is at the bottom of the last one before the riddle.

====-Blog:

I got 2000 posts. That's it.

Level up/BH +Riddle

Umm...I'm keep this short. I leveled up and I just made a blog header. I like it. It's kinda like a Kryptonite background with my logo on front.

Here's a riddle.

It's pretty easy.

What do you call your father-in-law's only child's mother-in-law?

New banner/ No riddle, sorry.

I just made a new banner. I thought I'd say that. Umm...I'm watching Ninja Warrior right now. I think that's about it.

Oh, yeah. Let's just say that I'm no longer mad at Comcast. Umm...I ate Burger King last night. It was pretty good. I got the Chicken Tendercrisp sandwich and a King size coke.

I have a bunch of union invites that I haven't checked lately. If you invited me to a union and I haven't joined. I probably didn't get to it yet. (Or it sucks.)

I going downstairs to watch Dreamgirls for like the 70th time. I love that movie. But you guys don't need to know that.

Ooooohhhhhh, that guys just fell HARD.

You guys ever write stuff because you have nothing better to do. That's what I'm doing now.

My enterprise is losing money in Simcountry. I'm trying an IPO on one of my successful Corparations.

I like making borders for banners. Check out the one above, it's one of my favorites so far. The whole banner took me about an hour because I couldn't find a font I liked. I settled with that.

I think that's all the stupid ramblings I have for today.

Oh wait, my mom thinks there is a rat in the house, but I have yet to see any proof. I think it's just her overactive imagination. And I'm usually right.

Does anyone else think Morgan webb looks like a vampire? (And not those sexy vampires from Evolution, but those weird vampires whose faces get all crazy looking when they start to suck your blood.) Maybe it's just me.

Ok, that's about it.

==================

Sorry, no riddle this time.

Some stuff +riddle

hey, everybody. I just had some free time, so I decided to mae a blog. I have a lot of things going on right now, so I haven't been on as much as I'd like.

First off, I have the PAU which is slowly growing even though we don't have much going on right now. That should change in a day or two.

I'm also busy moving/throwing away stuff from our old house, so that' taking up some time.

===========================

In other news, E3. I didn't catch a lot of it, however, i didn't really care that much anyways. i know all i need to know about all the games I'm getting in the future. However, i did get an emblem for watching the live stage show

Check it out.e3 emblem

===========================

Um...In other other news, I dropeed a lot of unions that i was inactive in. I am officially giving up the role of "Recruiter" because I just don't have the time anymore. However, i will still be helping people who are looking for unions.

What else...umm

I probably leveled up since the last time i posted a blog, so YAY.

I know there is something i am forgetting.

Ummm...

OH, check out the blog header. I made it. It sucks but still I made it and it's there.

I should probably make a new banner.

There's still something I'm forgetting. Well, I can't seem to think of it right now, so I'll just go to the riddle.

===========================

Riddle: this riddle is completely stupid, but I'm tired so I'm posting it.

An eye in a blue face Saw an eye in a green face. "That eye is like to this eye" Said the first eye, "But in low place Not in high place."

I'm Back + a riddle

Some of you may have noticed that I haven't posted since my last blog. I'm not going into details of why; just suffice it to say, that I am thoroughly pissed at someone. I had a great fourth of July and I rented a few games while I was gone. The Darkness, Transformers, and Hour of Victory.

I beat The Darkness in a couple days. I was pretty cool. I might write a review of it soon.

I didn't play Transformers that much due to the fact that I am very impatient and quit playing it after a certain mission with Bumblebee.

HOV was as I expected it to be. It was ok but some of it seemed a little cheesy and cheap.

Oh, yeah i ust became leader of the Pirate Academy Union. Check it out.

I will probably be making some changes there within the next few days.




Here's a riddle-

When I asked her how old she was, she smiled and said cryptically: "The day before yesterday I was 22, but next year I'll be 25." What is her birthday and when was the date of our conversation?


***SPOILER***


P.S. mjk_1 if you still want to know how to do the spoiler thing let me know.

Moving Day. + Riddle

YAY.

The Comcast people have finally fixed the problem and are now sending another technician to hook up the cable, this afternoon. Which means we will officially be up and running at the new house later today. I will be taking apart my computer in the next ten minutes and I will move it to the new house in a few hours.

I'm so excited.

Anyway, I won't be online until later tonight, (Hopefully)

I hope nobody misses me too much.

In other News, I might become the leader of a union. I still have to wait and see if anyone else wants to "run" against me.


I know that a couple people didn't like the difficulty of some of my previous riddles, so I am going to post a few this time in case you don't find any hard enough.

=======================================================

The Pope has it but he does not use it. Your father has it but your mother uses it. Nuns do not need it. Your lady friend's husband has it and she uses it. What is it?


***SPOILER***


=======================================================

What is so fragile that when you say it's name you break it.


***SPOILER***


=======================================================

Two cars were involved in an accident in the center of town. The man who was driving a little green car, had overtaken a big black car. The driver had misjudged the distance between him and the on-coming traffic and had to swerve back in, causing the black car to swerve and crash into a shop window. When the occupants of the cars were examined everyone in the green car was okay, but in the black car was one dead man. However, the driver of the green car was not charged with manslaughter, why was this so?

1500 Posts + a new Riddle

It's kinda late and I'm about to go to sleep, so this might be a little short. I just bought a few new games.

TENCHU Z- Kinda cool. I just love stabbing my sword through peoples chest.

&

C&C 3:TW. I'm good with the RT part. It's the "S" that I have problems with.

What else is going on. Well, Comcast should be done fixing the cable in a couple days so I should be in my new house soon.

Anything else?

Oh, I haven't been posting a lot lately because i've been kinda occupied with this site I read about in someone's blog called the Star Wars Combine. It's pretty cool, but it's taking a lot of my GS time, sorry.

I know there's something I'm forgetting. Umm...

OH YEAH, the reason I made this blog. I just got 1500 posts. I think that's about all of it.

Here's a riddle.

A man was found dead in his study. He was slumped over his desk and a gun was in his hand. There was a cassette recorder on his desk. When the police entered the room and pressed the play button on the tape recorder they heard: "I can't go on. I have nothing to live for." Then there was the sound of a gunshot. How did the detective immediately know that the man had been murdered and it wasn't a suicide?

Holy Crap. This is seriously not cool+ a new riddle

Alright let me tell you what's been going on behind the moniter with me. My mom just leased a new house in a new city and a way better neighborhood and a much bigger house. Last night me an my Mom decided to go there and set up my computer and Tv's beccause the cable people were going to come set it up. was up at 3 in the morning taking apart my computer and then reassembling it an hour later. Than i watched a couple episodes of Bleach then I went to sleep. I expected to be greeted by the sound of the cableman saying things like,"We're all done here." or "It's all working now." But I didn't I heard," This thing won't go through." and," A team of people will have to go into the cement."
The technician discovered a block in some conduit somewhere or something like that. Now we have to wait ten days for some people to come tear up the street to fix it.

That wasn't the worst of it. Then, i had to disassemble my computer again andd bring it back to our old house. I just spent the last hour putting it back together and now I am finally back online.

That's all thats going on with me.

Riddle:

Fantastic Four 2, Nothing New, Where are you, Get my shoe. + a riddle

I have no idea what just happened when I named this blog. It started being about Fantastic Four 2. Next thing I knows it's rhyming.

Anyway, Yesterday i went and saw Fantastic Four 2 with my dad and sister. I thought it was ok but could've been a lot better. It was boring until the last 10 minutes then it was ok.

That's about all that's going on really.

Riddle:

When liquid splashes me, none seeps through. When I am moved alot, liquid I spew. When I am hit, color I change. And color, I come in quite a range. What I cover is very complex, and I am very easy to flex. What am I?

Shocking twist

Now, how the tables have turned. It seems that Gs has decided that I am no longer Hella Old-School. I'm just mildly Old-school.

Those stupid GS glitches, how I despise them. They put you on top pf the world but then rip your beating heart from your chest.

[EDIT] I also got 1000 profile views. It's not that big of an acheivement to me but it has 1,000 in it so it must be good at some degree.

Now in more depressing news, here is the riddle.


Double my number, I'm less than a score, half of my number is less than four. Add one to my double when bakers are near, days of the week are still greater, I fear. What am I?

Hella Old-School

Today, I woke up and to my surprise I had a new emblem.

I never thought of myself as an old-school gamer, but apparently GS thinks I am.

I think what gave me the emblem was the fact that I added a few Gameboy games to my collection yesterday.

That's about it.

Riddle:

Eight years ago, Sam was eight times the age of his son Sam Jr. Today, if you add their ages together, they add up to 52. How old are Sam and his son?

Scorch-62's union

Scorch-62, Finally got the Transformers Union up and running. I am an officer so i'll be helping out making sure it great. that's about it.

You should check out The Transformers Union.


Riddle: The riddle is below. I should warn you it's pretty long. Hard to explain. I am great at math but, it still doesn't make sense to me. I read the answer and I still don't understand it. My better judgement tells me not to do this riddle but I'm going to anyway.


Three friends check into a motel for the night and the clerk tells them the bill is $30, payable in advance. So, they each pay the clerk $10 and go to their room. A few minutes later, the clerk realizes he has made an error and overcharged the trio by $5. He asks the bellhop to return $5 to the 3 friends who had just checked in. The bellhop sees this as an opportunity to make $2 as he reasons that the three friends would have a tough time dividing $5 evenly among them; so he decides to tell them that the clerk made a mistake of only $3, giving a dollar back to each of the friends. He pockets the leftover $2 and goes home for the day! Now, each of the three friends gets a dollar back, thus they each paid $9 for the room which is a total of $27 for the night. We know the bellhop pocketed $2 and adding that to the $27, you get $29, not $30 which was originally spent. Where did the other dollar go????

I am not making a 1100 post blog

I'm simply not going to do it, because 1100 isn't that big a milestone. The only ones that really count are the only when you add another digit. like 1000, and 10000. But, 1100 is completely pointless in making a blog about. So I refuse to do so.

Heres another riddle:

Two dogs are sitting on a porch - a fat dog and a thin dog. The little dog is the son of the fat dog, but the fat dog is not the father of the thin dog. Can you explain?
