what is this I don’t even

Dear whoever decided that, in a two record set, putting side A and side C on one record and B and D on the other was a good idea, please shoot off your big toe.

Because in no world does that arraignment make sense. It is also making turning this record set into a CD HARDER THAN IT WOULD BE NORMALLY. Because suddenly I have to look at the track list for C instead of B, because I forgot that the flipsides were all wonkied like this while running them through Audacity.

BLARGH.

how do format college paper

how do citations

how do write

Very few people learn this shit in high school, I assure you. I used MLA in high school, but didn’t learn that other styles existed until about sophomore year of undergrad. And that was just learning that Chicago/Turabian existed. I didn’t know APA existed until I was almost a senior and had to learn how to teach people to use it when I became a tutor.

So don’t feel bad; most folks don’t get this till college.

Alrighty so, looks like my zombie apocalypse team is shaping up well…

1.  Adele.  If she can set fire to the rain, we’re doing good.  XD

2.  Chris Redfield (Resident Evil 5)  Yeah, like I said, I think I’m safe.

3.  Thor.  Uh huh, ain’t no bitches gettin’ to me.  XDDDDDD

How’s it looking?  Good.  Very good indeed.  lmfao XD!!!!!!!

1. Alice Cooper

2. Kahrin Cousland

3. Captain America

Hmm… this could either go REALLY well, or REALLY poorly.

1. Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins. Or all of Smashing Pumpkins. let’s go with that.

2. My Imperial dual wielding assassin from Skyrim! yaaaay

3. …uhhh, I watched Heavenly Creatures yesterday afternoon. :T

  1. Elton John (I was listening to Road to El Dorado songs)
  2. I guess that would be my Sajja Shepard, badass engineer?
  3. I thought the answer to this would be Captain America, and then I realized I watched The Rundown when my roommate put it in while cleaning, so I guess the character that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson played.

Hmmm…

ok normally I don’t reblog these but I got gaga, anja shepard, and tony stark

NOT BAD

1. Nick Cave

2. Warrior Garrett Hawke

3. Carlos from The Devil’s Backbone

…Garrett kills things, I hide behind Carlos while he tries to see if he can communicate with zombies (summoning Santi would be more helpful, but less likely), and Nick provides an awesome soundtrack, consisting largely of murder ballads.

Mass Effect 3 Extended Cut DLC Will Feature Admiral Hackett, EDI, Kaidan

“BioWare has been very tight-lipped about the content in Mass Effect 3’s Extended Cut DLC, which is designed to fill out the game’s ending. However, we at least know of three main characters that will be appearing in this DLC. 

Lance Henriksen and Tricia Helfer confirmed to G4 that they’ve both recently done some voiceover work for BioWare for “Extended Cut.” Henriksen and Helfer voiced Admiral Hackett and EDI, respectively in the Mass Effect series. 

“I just did another session with them…They were saying there’s a little bit of a problem with the abruptness of the ending,” Hendriksen said in the interview. “So we did a whole series of things to add to the end of the game, to live up to the quality they’ve been doing.” 

Commander Shepard’s other crew members will be making another appearance as well. Raphael Sbarge, the voice of Kaidan Alenko, confirmed earlier this month that he’s been working with BioWare as well. 

“Just when you thought I would never go back, they keep pulling me back in Mass Effect. Recording,” tweeted Sbarge. 

When BioWare announced Extended Cut, they mentioned that it would add new cinematics. However, they’ve been careful to point out that it won’t just be cutscenes. Their aim is to make ME3’s endings more personalized so that players choices are reflected. 

BioWare plans to release Extended Cut this summer for free. The backlash against the game’s original endings was so strong that this DLC will really need to be something special to win back gamers’ trust. Hopefully BioWare is up to the task. “-GamingBlend

I NEED A RELEASE DATE GOD DAMMIT GIVE ME SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO. 

Kimberly Brooks’ twitter seems to confirm that she’s doing more lines as well. Since Ashley’s the VS on all my runs, this is a relief.

kirkwallhellmouth reblogged your post: OHAHAHAHAHOFIJASDA

I really do not think the writers considered just how deeply fans would think into all the ramifications of the ending….

this isn’t even ‘deeply’

like yo it’s six am i haven’t slept i’m on a hormonal roller coaster and i’ve been crying all night

this is not intensive critical thought

THIS IS NOT HARD

Yeah. The’re just was not a lot of thinking about fan reaction at all involved in the ending.

Because apparently they just thought everyone would be cool not having any clue how/if anyone survived that.
