RipTen Daily Conversation and Recap
At the end of a news day, we sometimes like to chat it up a bit (okay, we always do). And I personally like to surprise the writers by sharing some of our glowing conversations with all of you. This is one of those times.
Our recap of posts is just beyond the chit-chat. Enjoy.
Crackdown 2 Review Code Download Status:
Chad: How is your download? Danielle just finished hers.
Demi: Are you kidding? When did she start? I’m at 43%.
Chad: She has Fios.
Demi: So do I. :(
Chad: Strange. She has boobs?
Demi: They are known to double download speeds.
(and now the same question posed to Dylan)
Chad: How is your download? Danielle just finished hers.
Dylan: THAT BITCH
Dylan: 29%
Dylan: How does Danielle have internet from God?
Chad: God loves women more?
Dylan: Yeah, that makes sense.
Whether or Not Dylan is in fact a Super Idiot:
Dylan: Nevermind, I’m a super idiot.
Who Should Post Sports Related News on RipTen:
Demi: Football’s the sport where they kick the ball past the goalies, right? (Take that, American lexicon!)
Dave: By the way Chad get Hines “used to be decent” Ward offa our front page you Fanboi!!
Chad: Used to be decent my ASS!! That boy will steamroll you.
Dave: HAH!! Through the new JETS defense? BITCH PLEASE!! this is the wrong thread for this btw.
News Strategy and Trying to be More Timely:
Gavin: I’ve been MIA the last few days, but I drive about as much traffic as I do sports cars. Which is none. I drive a LeBaron. And a good tip is to not post anything more than a few hours old unless it’s a “big” story that needs to be up for posterity, obviously.
Stephanie: Wait a minute. You drive a fucking LeBaron? I just threw up all over this thread.
Bringing Back the Watercooler:
Dylan: I actually thought of this when I saw that Dan was back. Does he want to do it? Is he on this email? DAN ARE YOU HERE?! CAN YOU HEAR ME, DAN?
Compiling a List of Which Game Types We Enjoy The Most:
Cody: (on Fighting Games) Fuck these games. I haven’t played one since Mortal Combat on the PSONE.
Stephanie: (on Sports games) You want to play a sport? Go outside and start running. I will not touch these games.
Gavin: (on MMOs) Dear God no.
Chad: (on RTS) I’d rather you piss on my face.
Danielle: (on Shooters): I suck at them. I can’t aim. I love Battlefield though, and I’m okay with Halo. (Seriously what does this say about Battlefield an Halo? – Chad)
Dave: (on Retro Gaming): I have every home gaming system ever built. I keep them all in a vault in my basement. This is a true statement.
Dead Rising 2 Uncut In Australia, and The Aussies We Love:
Dylan: I love you Aussies! Or is it Ozzies?
Bryce: Definitely Aussies. Although I hate the term. This is the only country in the world, literally, that refers to itself as the derogatory (Sp?) term generated by others. Even in the news it’s not unheard of to hear “And in sports, the Aussies overcame a tough match to beat the Kiwis (“Joke” term for New Zealanders)”. Do Americans call each other “yanks” on the news? And I bet the British don’t call each other “poms” on the news. I can’t wait to move to America.
Chad: The only Aussie I’ve ever loved (before she started banging Tom Cruise).
Dylan: Really Chad? That’s the only Australian you love? http://tinyurl.com/23svuvf COME ON!
Demi: Crocodile Dundee, you twits! (also, Yvonne Strahovski. One picture is never enough.)
Chad: WOW! Thanks Demi. Didn’t know she was an Aussie. (packs bags).
Helping Dave Download Kane & Lynch Demo:
Dave: no seriously, where do I redeem this code, ive searched thru every menu on my xbox.
Demi: Xbox Dashboard, press the Xbox button, go all the way to the left, go to Redeem Code, enter first character, move to second character, enter second character, move to third character, enter third character, move to fourth character, enter fourth character, move to fifth character, enter fifth character, move to sixth character, enter sixth character, move to seventh character, enter seventh character, move to eighth character, enter eighth character, move to ninth character, enter ninth character, move to tenth character, enter tenth character, move to eleventh character, enter eleventh character, move to twelfth character, enter twelfth character, move to thirteenth character, enter thirteenth character, move to fourteenth character, enter fourteenth character, move to fifteenth character, enter fifteenth character, move to sixteenth character, enter sixteenth character, move to seventeenth character, enter seventeenth character, move to eighteenth character, enter eighteenth character move to ninteenth character, but WAIT, this is the very very tricky part- enter ninteenth character. Then, move to twentieth character, enter twentieth character, move to twenty-first character, enter twenty-first character, move to twenty-second character, enter twenty-second character, move to twenty-third character, enter twenty-third character, move to twenty-fourth character, enter twenty-fourth character, move to twenty-fifth character, enter twenty-fifth character. Press start, wait for confirmation, get error message, realize you entered one of the characters wrong, yell fuck it, and go to sleep.
Dave: rofl fuck you demi, and thanks.
