This is probably more my fault than anything, but I'll talk about it anyway.

During my 7th grade year, I had found a small pocket knife in my house and while waiting outside to go to school, I was messing around with it on a tree. A few minutes before I was going to leave, I put it in my pocket for what was going to be temporary, but I ended up forgetting about it. Fast forward to me being at school before classes started, I was outside with a "friend". I reached into my pocket for whatever the reason was and noticed something sitting in there. I slightly pulled it out to see what it was and noticed it was the pocket knife. I said, "oh, shit, I didn't mean to bring this." My friend who was with me said, "Yeah, you probably shouldn't let a teacher or anyone else see that."

So fast forward again to whatever class I was in, I ended up getting called down to the dean's office. The dean told me he was told I had a knife on me and to give it to him. So, I gave it to him and explained why I had it like he had asked. He sounded like he sincerely understood, but I guess he didn't. He made me wait there until my mom got there. Once she got there, he explained the situation and went on to say that I would be expelled for the rest of the year, which was like 5-6 months, which was basically half the year as we had separated breaks and not a summer break.

So instead of going to school for 5-6 months, they made me go to some behavior school for that time. It wasn't even a behavior school really, at least it didn't seem like one. I just had to wear a uniform. Everything else was exactly like being in school. To this day, I'm still not sure why they thought a 7th grader would bring a knife to school in order to harm people (considering I was expelled and sent to this school, that's what I assume they felt), but I guess it's possible.

tl;dr "friend" thought he would actually get $50 from the school for reporting shit to them and i get expelled

There's not much wrong with eh264 otherwise. It's really good to use and it's 100% user friendly.

Looking at post #24, the way the health/attack dmg, hand, hero/villain health and sort of the general layout, it reminded me of the game I linked :P Haven't played Hearthstone though so I can't be entirely sure. In fact, I rarely play TCGs anymore so those are probably the norm.

Holy fuck, man. I actually could not feel worse right now, I am honestly sorry. Maybe I shouldn't have assumed your case was similar to mine. Again, I apologize.

There's a game very similar to this on Kongregate. Not sure if you guys would enjoy it, but who knows.

I've never met my father my entire ~22 years of living. He wasn't there for the birth, or for any of my life. According to my mom, the second he saw her pregnant, he got up and left and that was the last time she had seen him. That sounds pretty fucked up, right? Well, it is. The thing is that I never let it get to me emotionally. Sure, I've asked questions and found answers I didn't want to hear, but I've never once been sad about it. Yeah, only knowing one parent instead of both is sad within itself, but you know what I mean.

I just respect my mother that much more. She was my mother and my father. That is the hardest job in the world, in my opinion, and I love my mom so incredibly much for that (and because she's my mom haha).

Maybe it's because it takes a lot for me to get emotional, especially when it comes down to crying, but sometimes I question if that's the case. My grandfather died ~3 years ago. He has been the only blood related family member that I'm aware of to be as successful as he was (he was second in line for the top position for a company that made garages for places like casinos and such). He was my inspiration and my idol, albeit still doing a lot worse than I wanted to in school. I've only ever physically met him a handful of times, but he was honestly one of the best and most caring people I have ever met. It took me a few months for it to get to me, but it got to me pretty hard when it did. I wasn't bottling anything up, I just thought about it deeply and then it happened.

So while I think that it might take a whole lot to get me wishing things were different, there are instances that contradict that.

Sorry for rambling on. My point for this was to tell you that while it's okay to be sad/depressed and cry over not knowing your father, that it doesn't need to be that way. Take that emotion, flip it around and turn it into loving your mother that much more. Don't let your father neglecting you by not being in your life make you sad man. He doesn't deserve your tears.

barely

watch clannad and have fun holding those tears back

It seems like it might be a little sniper friendly. Despite that this looks neat. Looking forward to what happens with this map.

Either way, is that still a thing? Seems like the only reason to bother playing in ESEA pugs.

Aren't there prizes you can get over time for having X amount of karma, with pugs being the easiest way to gain karma? I've been out of the ESEA karma/prize loop for awhile though.

This is reminding me of when we had multiple leagues who supported us and we didn't rely on just one. TWL, CEVO, ESEA and some "smaller" ones. We also had tons of sponsors at the time too.

Oh, what I would do to make that so again while keeping our constant rise in viewership/popularity.

david, your paintings are awesome.

yes. i've done it a bit in my more recent videos and ikpure does it in this video almost flawlessly.

the entire intro is made in SFM and it's nearly identical to what was going on during that time in the demo

funny thing is, the part @ 1:35 looks like something that would be possible only in SFM, but that part was made entirely within TF2 itself

it's actually really easy to learn and there are so many tutorials laying around. it's such a fun program to mess around with/make stuff with.
