I am really drunk right now, if that is good enough.

Ok halfway done with finals in only a day. Now its time to pop a klonopin with some anchor steam to wash down the anchor steam and anchor steam.

My TD strategy: use peppers to build a basic maze structure. Build a line of squirters somewhere near the middle, and support them with a Frost on the end. Get a typhoon tower (Squirter 6) as soon as possible. I haven't lost yet on normal. I don't know if this works on hard, and is probably inefficient for easy.

EDIT: My favorite thing about this game is that, when minimized or alt-tabbed out of, "Desktop Tower Defense" looks like an antivirus program.

dude, klonapins? fuck that shit.

PS My first exam is tomorrow. The rest of this week has been "Reading Week"-- AKA staying up until 4 or 5 AM every day for a week playing Age of Empires, drinking, walking to the grocery store to buy pizza...
the professors of the only two classes I was worried about my grade in told me the worst I'll get is a B-. So. Considering I should have C's in both of those classes...

the only guy I know who fucks with those has done a long series of dumb shit while on them?

If I recall correctly, he and his friends tried to rob a convenience store, and then in the middle of pretending they had guns or whatever, one of them started just bawling. and then they all did, and were so upset and apologizey that the guy let them go. and then on the way home he fell off his (moped? dirtbike? something) and fucked up his face (temporarily, but there is scarring.)

That sounds like a personal problem of your friends'. For me, it usually means watching a dvd and genuinely feeling relaxed. The general anxiety for which they were prescribed goes away and life seems good for a few hours. I can't imagine under what circumstances I'd feel compelled to rob someone of their property in this state.

ah, see, when you said you were going to take some and then drink... I assumed this was a recreational thing.

they were prescribed

that is the difference.

Also, you mainly just chill anyways.  I find it is like being drunk with out the energy and with possibly more stupidness.  One time I swam with my cell phone, wallet, etc. fully clothed on those.

The lesson here, kids, is not to use Rx medicine that hasn't been given to you by a medical professional to treat a legitimate condition.

But it was fun, and the cell phone company gave me a free phone.  Swimming is different than robbery.


Also, I am loving this game.  Anyone else still playing?

I played for quite a while last night, but didn't adequately defend against the fly-ey ones.

I also feel like my purity of game is ruined, as I lost my drive, and looked at the maze designs of the people with the top scores.

PS his maze design makes no sense, but apparently it works for him?

Im still trying different strategies to get it so i can just hit "next" continuously
So far I love the fully upgraded missile thing, the ICBM launcher. Put a couple of those by the front door and the splash effect kills a whole group

Some people sell a bunch of towers at the end to try and keep their designs secret.
