  • Re: Official Bored at Work / Off-Topic Chat Thread II

    HALP.

    Okay so I didn't make the deadline to get into the college I wanted to for this upcoming semester. Reapplied for the summer term and all is well, but I really don't want to take time off because of forward momentum, etc. Unfortunately, the school I'm transferring from doesn't have my program but has a similar program. I'm going into Secondary Education - English and the school I came from has Elementary Education. So there are two (yes, only two) classes with the same exact course numbers at both schools, and both being Florida State universities, are thus interchangeable. (See, at least Florida does something right.)

    Only one of them is being offered for the Spring term at SPC (old school) so I could conceivably just take it and at least be working toward something. But since I'm under VA benefits, that wouldn't get me to the minimum credit hour requirement (12) in order to qualify for VA this term. Fine, whatever, I'll pay out of pocket then if I decide to do it - it's $356.10 for three credit hours, which is actually not bad when you compare a lot of other colleges/universities.

    My problem is I just don't know if I should go to the trouble to re-enroll at a school I'd basically left only to take just one class and then leave again. Oh, and orientation to enter the College of Education is tomorrow, and mandatory, if I choose to go. So I have to make this decision probably by end of business today.

    And I really just don't know what to do. :/

    Advice?

    Actually just gonna do it. I can afford it, it won't conflict with work, and at least I'm still making progress (however small it may be) toward my degree.

      Anyone know what's a good website for music importing? I cannot find shit on Bulldog Mansion. Well, Amazon has their Debut E.P on MP3, and YESASIA apparently has their latest Re-Building CD, but the other two, Funk and Salon de Musica, seem lost.

        Sometimes I'll find something I'm looking for on Ebay.

          Shoot me a PM if you don't have any luck searching online, local music stores import a ton of Korean and Japanese stuff here, I may be able to track it down for you.

              Kinda late but Awesome Games Done Quick 2014 is wrapping up right now, they're doing a 100% Chrono Trigger speed run in ~6 hours.

                How the fuck do you do 100% completion on Chrono Trigger in 6 hours? It takes at least a dozen play throughs to get all the endings.

                I just saw them run past an unopened chest. This is not 100% completion, I'm sorry.

                  They haven't stated what their criteria for 100% completion is, but I can only assume it means doing all side quests.

                    They're doing all of this for cancer prevention, so I don't really think it matters that someone thinks not opening a chest isn't a 100% completion run. O_o

                      Next I'll be hearing about 100% completion runs of Super Metroid where they don't get all the energy tanks and missile upgrades...

                        I guess it really depends on what they're skipping, and like Armando said, what their criteria is. Was it a chest with a random consumable that they didn't need?

                          Super Metroid makes its notion of % completion explicit; it's built into the game. Chrono Trigger (SNES) doesn't have that notion, so they're free to decide on what 100% means. But even when the game has a canonical criteria, there's always some factor that could've been reasonably included but wasn't. For example, a lot of people consider 100% in Kingdom Hearts to mean "Unlock the secret movie", which does NOT require finding every Ansem Report, Trinity Mark, treasure chest, or crafting recipe (but does require: finding every 101 Dalmatian, locking every world, and beating Hades Cup). Super Metroid factors in item pick-ups but IIRC not map completion, even though it very well could. You could always come up with some arbitrary addition - maybe I don't consider your Chrono Trigger runs to be 100% complete if you don't kill 1 of every enemy.

                            It just feels like we're making math subjective instead of objective, and that bothers me on a fundamental level.
