dont you just hate it when you have to use google to look something up.
it makes me feel like the biggest ass ever.

i finally got tired of seeing the word "SHUPMS" everywhere.
everybody talking about "SHUMPS", and i havent got the foggiest
what they are talking about. so i had to give in and google it.

Shumps.... Shoot-Em-Ups. oh......DOH. i just call them Shooters.

I google things all the time, it's really damn convenient. Even at work, i'll often google questions I can't answer. I dunno how the hell we lived our lives before google.

I'm half a step away from treating google like Yulia's Score, and googling all my questions about life. "What should I have for dinner?!" "Should I wear socks with sandals?"

"Shmups" has been a term for as long as I can remember...
Actually I used to call' em Shoot-Em-Ups back in the 80's, then sometime in the late 90's / 2000s I became familiar with the term Shumps.

Also I wouldn't call a Shump just shooter, the term might be misleading as a shooter can be Time Crisis or even Call of Duty.
In this case, Shumps are generally vertical or horizontal scrolling bullets dodging shooters !

Haha, well, I'm an '89 and only played them late in the 90's so I learned to categorize the vertical/horizontal shooters as shmups from the get-go. Love them to this day!

Real gamers call them "shoot-me-dos".

Also SEUCK C64 was amazing.

EDIT: Fuck yeah, I entered a Spud thread without insulting him! I even still had just cause.

You'd feel a bigger ass if you used Bing.
That's funny. Doing the Bing Rewards thing to get some xbox live and I thought, "Wouldn't it be easier if I just used Bing rather than Google...?" After one day I was back to doing 30 searches a day for random words on Bing and doing my actual searching on Google...

The only time I dislike using Google is on my mobile. When I have to type it in the address bar for Google, it takes me to a searched result of Google. I feel stupid each time. I'm going to make a bookmark of it now sigh

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
