      I imagine they also let students bring their own memory cards along if they had those.
      That reminds me of what my school did with Wii systems. They had a couple Wii setups in the foyer with 2 remotes and a custom anti-theft box, but I don't think they allowed students to bring in their own games.

      Avgn taught me english. Or, that's what i believe. I really don't remember how i learned english, but i'm sure that i learned english thanks to the internet and that i have never watched any of those online english lessons. I believe that avgn taught me english because my friends and relatives have learned english in a similar way. You know, by watching english-language content with spanish subtitles. I learned because most spanish-language content or is a steaming pile of shit or is just translated straight from english. So i figured why not just learn english so that i don't have to rely on shitty and maybe incorrect translations? And yes, i know more english than my english teacher. The main keys are: don't be afraid of pushing your english to its limits, don't be afraid of making mistakes and use it as much as you can. And think in english so that you don't spend time translating. It's way easier to learn phases instead of vocabulary. I need to stop talking shit

    So let me get this straight. Calamity Jane, from the past, gets a time machine from a really bored French Guy and needs somebody from the future to fix it. So out of all the people you could've obtained to fix the device, you choose two teenages from 1998 (assuming) that are in the middle of a Baseball game. Who by the way are still in Public School. Not Einstein or Stephen Hawking or anybody further down the line that has perfected time travel. Just two random teenages?

    I found this episode to be quite entertaining.
    The ignorance of the titular angry nerd in the beginning contrasted with his comparatively large vocabulary, intellect, and general knowledge of the world around him showed remarkable character development. I would call him a prime example of the modern electronic entertainment erudite. I find that the coalescence of the two in the end, and his eventual reversion to his more primitive mindset, really exemplified just what a fatal hero, like those of the ancient greek tragedies, the nerd really is. Overall I would say that this work is quite exemplary.
    It good show, make more.

    In Finnish, there’s a separate word category for numbers, called ”Numerals”: ”5” in ”5 of something” is neither a noun nor an adjective, it’s a numeral. It’s still a nominal, though, since it has case inflections.
