    Is the weird "anime girl run" where one flails one's arms to the side a thing people actually do? i see it kinda often but it looks really weird.
    I know that run. I have seen a couple people do it IRL, but not many.

    However, I do say that I see a lot of people running in NYC, and very very few of them have proper form. Once I actually saw a girl running who had textbook form, I was blown away.
    People in Seattle seem to be not bad, which is strange because when I was living in Pullman where I saw a lot of people run daily it was painful how bad people's form was. I don't mean like its kinda close it was like how the fuck have you not hurt yourself yet?

    They must have toast hanging out of their mouth too.

    Was she running to or off a high place?

    I think for a headset I'll go for Joe's recommendation of the Sennheiser 202. Any mic recs? I'd prefer one with a 3.5mm jack.

    If you're doing analog in and the mic isn't XLR or 1/4" going through a dedicated interface, you're doing it wrong. Get yourself a usb mic like the Blue Snowflake or the Samson C01U. Both are solid entry level condenser mics that will give you leaps and bounds better quality that anything that would plug into 3.5mm.

    Not if all you're doing is gaming and Skype.

    Yeah, I'm not planning to do seriously recording - there's absolutely no reason for me to drop $50 or more on a microphone.
  • SailSail
    My advice is to get your nice set of headphones for music and stuff and then get the cheapest Logitech headset for everything else.

    What's the best way to get rid of used books/manga/comics and maybe get a few bucks for them?
  • RochelleRochelle
    I just took mine to Half Priced Books, but you don't get much for manga these days.
  • SailSail
    It's just that it's seemingly as troublesome to try and give them away to a library or something because they get so many donations from people just trying to get rid of their books that they don't take them, or won't take all of them. And selling them individually online for like $.01 is highly impractical.

    If you're looking for easy money, HPB is your best bet. If you can find some local anime club or something donate it to them.

    The only HPBs in California are in the bay area :/

    Didn't we have a thread for comic trading? Can't remember what it was called.

    I still recommend the Snowflake.

    It's fifty bucks. I'm still in college and haven't had any well-paying jobs yet. No.

    If you have an Aldi near you, then keep an eye on their specials. They occasionally have a decent headset under the Fission brand, it's not the best headset in the world, but it's certainly no slouch. Should be about 20 bucks, if that. It's what I use when I'm on FNPL.

    Would anyone be interested in me cross posting a steel panthers game LP against a friend here?

    Does anyone know how to make a wonder in a Civ 5 mod? My research has found me how-tos for just about everything but wonders.
  • GregGreg
    Nevermind. Reverse-engineering a mod I downloaded has solved this.

    Is there anything that I should bring to college that I wouldn't expect? Typical freshman mistakes? Anything RIT specific?

    Learn how to do your gotdamn laundry, eat right, and wash yourself. Go to sleep and wake up at a reasonable time. Take care of yourself.

    Do you americans really pronounce "Gouda" (the cheese) as "Goo-da", rather than "Gow-da" (or even more correctly like this which can't be rendered into phonetic english).
  • RymRym
    Goo-dah. I've never in my life heard it pronounced any other way, either in person or in any movie, television show, or other work.
  • GregGreg
    Same. Even when I've been in France I hear it as "goo-dah."

    Here's how someone pronounces the city in german at about 28 seconds in. I already posted the native pronunciation above.

    I know more than one internationally trained European chef that calls it "goo-dah." Same goes for every cheese maker and monger I've ever met.
