I lost this file when my old hard drive crashed. Turns out I had sent it to someone in gmail and gmail saved my attachment. Sweet. It's just what you think it would be.

Contains such gems as:

Code: Select all

"I really do think that I have what it takes
to become a game developer. All I want in life
is to walk to Wal-Mart. To see my creation on
my shelf, to hear random people saying "Hey,
have you played <my game>?". "Yeah dude, that
game was awesome". After that has happened, if
I was brutally killed by a pair of tweezers
ripping my flesh inch by inch, I'd still die
a VERY happy and content man.

That is what I wish to achieve in life."

And

Code: Select all

Spiky God: theyll and run you over........only to be run over buy shrapnel
MarauderIIC: heh
Spiky God: try being an operative word
MarauderIIC: that you forgot to write in
Along with

Code: Select all

slimjackson: sooooo
Auto response from MarauderIIC: food
slimjackson: mmmm yes
slimjackson: but, while you are eating this "food" you speak of, you are making a trade-off with what you COULD be doing
slimjackson: talking to me
slimjackson: since talking to me is so valuable... i believe you have made an irrational decision
slimjackson: the opportunity cost of talking to me (which you have completely missed out on) much outweighs the superficial 

gain you receive from consuming your "food"
slimjackson: as a budding economist, might i recommend you "multitask", or eat your food _and_ talk to me... at the same 

time!  the next best alternative, doing nothing, offers no gain, financially or physically, making eating and talking to me 

at the same time the most efficient use of your resources
slimjackson: which, needless to say, are supremely scarce

And

Code: Select all

Nicknames have usually been edited in some fashion
Oh wait, that's meta.

Code: Select all

"Happy Birthday Wutai!"
"GV: Wow, I didn't realize it was your birthday again!
*/_HAPPY BIRTHDAY!/_*

Wutai: Yes, my legs were born today, and
the rest of my body was born November 10,
so I celebrate my birthday twice a year."

"Nyck says:
You're the kind of person who would create
an OS that makes people subliminally worship you
...
and to list the directory you'd have to [b]e like:

Go +d isma /r
lol - errors could be like:

'I'm too great to have caused this error. Admit defeat to Marauder!
[Yes] [Yes, Master]'

Clicking yes melts the video card
and the network card
etc
'Yes, Master' flashes the words
'WORSHIP MAR' for 1/1000th of a second.
Boy, I sure am twisted."

This reminds me when I had to do line by line commenting for a teacher. I started making comments like:
"why do I have to do line by line commenting"
[...]
"I mean its not like I'm naming variables var1, var2, etc THEY ARE CLEARLY LABELED"
[...]
"And so are function names"
[...]
"The only reason I could think of is that you(the teacher) lack the skills to teach us the fundamentals of programming"
[...]
"Umm I'm not sure what this does... /sarcasm" <--Above a for loop :)
[...]
"This is where the magic fairy turns up to give me food...nomnomnom"
I placed them around my project in order of program flow.
at the end of the program a message box came up and says to my teacher "I'M NEVER COMMENTING CODE LIKE THAT AGAIN"
Good times :)

All teachers do that... my teacher said
"At least 2 comment lines per line"

My response... :shock2:
"Fuck that!"

:roll: :lol: Simple solution:

Code: Select all

// here I declare
// var1 and var2
int var1, var2
Split each full comment into two comments. :lol:

Excessive comments are stupidly useless.. For anyone to require such a thing in a graded project is just plain ignorant.

I'd probably say something like

Code: Select all

//A comment!
//The next comment that you will see tells me something we both know...
//Do you really want to see any more coments???
//I think you will eventually get annoyed and fail me...
//Are you there yet???
//You'll feel it in a minute...
//And I fail!
or something like that

Comments are for YOURSELF, so if you get it, no need (use them once and a while)

they are also so other people can understand your code. :roll:

Though 2 comments per line of code is just plain stupid. You might as well do this:

Code: Select all

// this
// is
// my
// comment
:nono:
