Lindstrom Knows Everything, everything that matters, anyway Options

[Lindstrom]

Specify.

Jon, Jonny, Jack, Jon Boy, Jon-Jon, and many more. It would take a while to remember them all.

[Headtrip]

Don't want to.
What's something other than a boomerang that comes right back at you?

[Lindstrom]

Yo-yos

[Headtrip]

I never got the hang of those despite all my effort. Why must you make me relive the most traumatic chapters of my childhood?

[Chicken]

Ha, me and my mom call my dad "Johnie" or "John-boy" when we're teasing him. My step-aunt calls him that, and well, to say the least he can't stand it or maybe her.

Anyway, question, question... What should I ask you?

[Lindstrom]

I exist to make you feel bad about yourself.

Something bold and unpredictable is best, but I guess if you're out of ideas something simple is fine.

[Toaster Boy]

If talking turtles said they needed your help while they traveled through time what'd you say?

[Lindstrom]

Cowabunga!

[Headtrip]

Do you remember Pokemon Puzzle League?

Now realizing your name is John, you slightly remind me of a guy I knew {just because of name and you do kind of look like him} who was my best friends older brother and when I was around 14 and he was I think... Maybe 19, he became very interested in me to say the least. Remember one time him sending me... Naughty pictures of himself... After that I lost all contact with him haha...
What dumb idea crosses peoples minds when they think it's a good idea to send their naked picture to someone on the internet? I should've called 'To Catch a Predator' on him. :P

Sorry, you probably didn't really need to know any of that haha.

I have Tetris Attack, which is pretty much the same thing but with Yoshi's Island characters (both are ports/remakes of Panel de Pon).

I guess it's a desperation thing? I'm not really sure. Sounds like the guy had no game whatsoever. Anyway I don't like the idea of having any kind of record of me or whoever I'm with being naked (no home movies or pictures or anything like that) cuz that sort of thing seems like it'll always find it's way into the wrong hands.

Nintendo Power had a little blurb in their latest issue on Sexy Poker. How sad do you have to be to purchase eroges from WiiWare?

There's a very good I may soon get to teach a class for one semester. It would constitute six hours per week. Technically I'd just be a Teacher's Assistant and get to teach the tutorials, but the idea is still the same. I'd be teaching Artificial Intelligence (programming).

What suggestions might you have for me? I can't help but be a bit nervous teaching three hour tutorials.

[Lindstrom]

I wouldn't have thought there'd be something like that on a Nintendo system.

Understand that some of the students don't really understand the concepts and terms as well as others. You have to maintain energy to keep their interest, but not go so fast as to leave them in the dust. Be able to make analogies and other things that might help explain things that the texts don't explain well. Let them ask as many questions as they need and make sure they get it before moving onto something different and complex. Think back to what every great teacher you had did to keep you interested and learning, it's important to remember what it was like being a student.

[Saffy]

Do you think I should try to focus more on individual interaction or simple lecturing? I personally feel I work best when I can help someone one on one. But I suppose I won't have much of a choice but to teach a good chunk of material too. I'm really curious as to how that will all be laid out actually. Most likely I'll end up programming while others follow through.

[Headtrip]

Am I alone in feeling that instruments can convey complex emotions like denial, grieving or homesickness without any vocals?

[Lindstrom]

I'm not really sure what the job calls for. If it's lecturing, think about the stuff I said. A good lecturer isn't just speaking with people in the room, they're actively talking to these people directly. Treat it like you're talking to a group of friends about something important/cool and not like you're standing up in front of strangers giving a speech. If it's one-on-one, it's just focused and devoted to a single person at a time.

I doubt you're alone on that. Anyway whatever emotions well up within you are a result of your own interpretation and feelings. A musician could be aiming for a certain feeling but what you truly feel could be different.

[Headtrip]

So I shouldn't be feeling hungry when I listen to "Starz Scarz"?

[Lindstrom]

Don't know, don't care

[Headtrip]

What do you think of my bitchin' new sig?
