I went for a jog after work this morning and ended up helping a stranger find his lost dog.

I used to try to fully complete every game I played just to be a completionist, but now I move on to another game when I get tired of it. But I usually 100% all Mario platformers and Zelda games. And I enjoyed finishing everything in vanilla Kingdom Hearts 2 and my one and only platinum is from inFamous Second Son.

300 words isn't too bad so you should be fine. I'm a huge procrastinator, I usually start 10 page papers just a few hours before they're due haha

I'm not sure how tests in your area are or how strict your examiner will be but generally

-Keep both hands on the wheel at 3 and 9 o clock
-Always use turn signals (left turns, right turns, lane changes, going towards the curb, pulling away from the curb, before starting a parallel park)
-Check your mirrors every once in a while
-Come to a complete stop at every stop sign. Make sure you stop before the sign. Wait 3 seconds and look both/all ways before accelerating. If it's a two-way sign, stop before the sign, then creep up to make sure the coast is clear.
-Always look backwards when reversing. If you have a reversing camera in your car, I suggest pretending it doesn't exist
-When you're told to parallel park, quickly examine the car you'll be parking behind, such as the size of it, how far it is from the curb, if the car is fully straight or not, etc. and adjust accordingly when parking
-The test is not over until you come to a complete stop at the testing site, so make sure you don't get tripped up by any silly mistakes at the very end

That's about all I can think of for now, I just got my license two weeks ago after failing it once last month. Good luck!

It's so gross but I can't stop watching it...

My older brother and parents always held me back whenever when needed to brake hard for some reason. Hell my mom did that last year and I'm 23 now. >.> I think it's just a reflex.

I'll reiterate using turn signals. For all turns, lane changes, and even when you're pulling off to/away from the curb and when you're about to parallel park.

Speaking of parallel parking, make sure you actually practice it in the car you're using to take the test. I practiced in a driving instructor's car but took the test in my mom's car and bombed from hitting the curb.

Also, don't forget to check your blind spots when switching or merging lanes.

I definitely had crushes when I was 6 years old. They were mostly male crushes but I tried to force myself to have female crushes since that's the norm and all. I'm glad he's open about it at 6 years old, I was too afraid to tell anyone at that time haha

I don't usually hear terms for the weed itself, but the quantity of it like an ounce or an eighth or whatever.

I was off from work yesterday night, but I still still slept all day and now I'm at Red Lobsters with my family. Probably gonna play some video games later, however...

Only problem is I don't know what to play to keep me busy until FFXII releases <_<

A man walks into a bar...

and said 'ouch.'

I don't have an S8 but the S7 battery life is pretty amazing. I've been texting and listening to music at work for 10 hours and the battery only drained 40%. On nights when I watch Netflix or YouTube videos, it will probably drain by about 60%.

She wanted "OG" Mario and was turned off by Mario 3 because she was afraid she wouldn't "understand the story."

Can you blame her? Mario 3's plot is about as complex as Donnie Darko!

It's my favorite instrument.

If we let ADAM and STEVE get married, what's next? Can I marry my CAT? Or my CAR?

Good luck getting your cat or your car to say " I do".

"Beep once for 'I Do' - twice for 'I don't'"

Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.

I'm probably just gonna get him a card and some scratch-offs. I never know what to get my dad because he has everything he could possibly ever want already so shopping for him is tough.

Does anything Microsoft related win polls around here?

I haven't been there in about 20 years either. My family usually goes to Disney World parks instead. Enjoy your day!

So the important question: did you get better at driving, or did you just get an easier instructor ;)

Definitely both. The examiner seemed like she woke up on the wrong side of the bed but she was still a lot more friendlier than the last one, who woke up on the wrong side of the house.

And I practiced the heck out of parallel parking since I bumped that curve the first time, so now I'll be prepared to do that during regular driving....which is probably not very often/never.

Bananas with peanut butter are heavenly

Thanks for the posts and advice! I will definitely make sure to have a much more experienced person with me when looking for a car haha

Destiny 2
Dragon Ball Fighter Z
Fire Emblem Warriors
Monster Hunter World
Monster Hunter XX
Splatoon 2
Super Mario Odyssey
Xenoblade Chronicles 2

As sad as it would be, video games will have to go

BotW is one of my all time favorites.

Sonic's mouth always freaked me out in Adventure 1.

Yes, there's just something so taboo about it that adds to the charm, I suppose

No clue, honestly I don't really know much about cars lol. A few people think I should look out for Japanese cars, though.

I made a topic a month ago about how I failed it, but I aced it the second time around. Time to buy a car!

You're not the only one, it's borked for me too.

That outfit is fine. People are just babies I guess.

Metroid
/thread

OMG, THAT LOGO IS THE BEST, OMGOMGOMG, HYPE

lol

To be fair, most thought Nintendo had completely given up on this series at this point, so just learning that there is a possibility that Metroid will return to form is very exciting for a lot of people.

Hyped for Xenoblade 2, Metroid, and Mario

I own a ps4 and a switch and have a pretty decent pc... wut?

Sorry... but I just happen to like games all around :X

This. My nephew and I share consoles and together we have Wii U, Switch, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox 1. I don't see the point in limiting our options, then trashing other consoles/fans.

Unfortunately this starts right when I'm about to leave for work so I'll miss a lot of it. I'm starting to miss working in the daytime. D=

I've never been more excited for a DBZ game. I haven't played Guilty Gear but I just might have to look into it now.

I've always preferred the look and music of Emerald Hill Zone more. Too bad it's always kicked to the curb by its older brother...

And yeah, I would rather have zones not used in Generations to be in Mania, like Spring Yard or Mystic Cave.

I have very short hair and I just use 2-in-1

Islands of Adventure, Six Flags, and Busch Gardens are my top 3, with IoA being my favorite.

I heard myself speak in a recording recently and I'm wondering how I have any friends when my voice sounds so ugly. So yeah, I hate mine...

i therefore request that you go take a long walk off a short pier

Shoulda told him to unplug his power cord

I've never even played Sun/Moon yet haha

Although I haven't played many 3DS games lately because my 3DS is breaking down and the battery lasts less than 20 minutes off the charger. I'll probably get that new 2DS coming out, then Ultra Sun later.

Just finished 13 Reasons Why, Stranger Things, and The Get Down and I enjoyed them all. I also watched Daredevil and Orange Is the New Black and they were great. Those two are probably my favorites so far.

Yeah, one warning (asked for a link to a porn video) and a few 3kl for tasteless jokes.

Usually I ignore it, but sometimes I'll respond back with sarcasm or spinning their insult into something positive if possible.

Golem was one of the most-used Pokemon in Gen1. Want to try again?

I was mainly talking about the non-competitive crowd. I'm sure competitive/hardcore fans won't have any issues remembering Pokemon, especially from gen 1.

True forgettable is Tangela, who sees almost no use and is usually only found by accident since it's inconveniently placed.

Tangela is definitely up there on the forgettable list.

Without Garbage Day, everyone's day would be garbage.
