Hello. this is Joe Foering, and I played Crow on MAT3K for six out of its seven years (and the seventh I was Con Chair). I thought it only proper to weigh in on this thread ( Read more... )

Well, I'm pumped for the big event of every year for me since 2001. Yes, that's right, Otakon is coming right up, boys and girls. Well, truthfully, I'm feeling both excited and kind of worried. You see, this is probably going to be my last year at college before I graduate and real life starts actually factoring into things fully for me. Yes, I've ( Read more... )

Well, here I've been in Binghamton for a bit more thana week now and I'm already starting to go stir crazy (doesn't help that I'm stuck on crappy AOL dialup for the duration of my stay, but for 2 months free when I plan on spending only one month, I'll deal with it).

It has already started, the screaming, the slamming of doors/cupboards/drawers, the arguing with/yelling at my mom and sisters over small shit. It doesn't help that he has 8 days off, basically just about all of spring break. He started ( Read more... )
