I'm back from a school meeting. I gotta sell raffle tickets. :S

What the frak is going on here?

I'm not an especially big fan of her either.

You just missed Page 666.

Thank God.

I was running out of movie references.

Hey, I just saw a commercial for this movie. I totally want to see it.

Based on the preview for that video, I assumed it was a YTP of Inception. It took me a moment to realize you're talking about a new movie.

Yaaaay, satanic page!

You know, 616 is The Number of the Hipster Beast.

Why is that, story?

It's due to the language thing. The whole "number of the beast" is very like a reference to Nero created by adding up the value of the numerals in his name, which differ depending what language you add them up in. If you use an alternate system, you get 616 instead of 666, so that's what some manuscripts of Revelation say.

I knew about the Nero thing, but I didn't know 616 was an alternate interpretation.

666 is so much cooler, though.

GT? Oh John changed his screenname? How confusing.

You think that's confusing, just wait till they get started.

#16661 storyyeller Thu, 20th Sep '12 6:48:33 PM from Appleloosa

And now I get to something really confusing. How are John's posters scribbled over months in the past? This makes no sense whatsoever, and that's saying something for Homestuck.

You'll see, don't worry. There's even a helpful review session later on.

By the way, I finished Act 4 a while ago. The ending flash was hilarious.

Oh God, that recap is a long read, though it really helps you to understand just what the hell you've read

#16664 Swasfews Thu, 20th Sep '12 6:53:55 PM from New York

Uh...if you think Eo A 4 is hilarious, you might want to go forward a few pages. I have a feeling you haven't reached it yet. Hint

I've not had any trouble understanding it yet.

It'd have been nice to have one of those at the end of act 2.

Well, I stopped there, and I'm actually working on homework now, so it'll have to wait.

I was about to point out the actual number of the Beast/Nero, but Japanese Teeth beat me to it.

Good evening, people.

As I find so much pleasure in that melts like my breath, I am always full of regret.

#16669 Loose Cannon Thu, 20th Sep '12 7:01:24 PM from Everywhere and Nowhere

Hey d Roy, how's it going?

I am feeling great!

Now I have only one more class this week, with the homework for the said class done. Also, I took judo session, which was sweet, and I just took a nice shower and my fridge is filled with cold water and coke.

Life is great.

Man, you are your judo and stuff.

I wish I could do that, that'd be super sweet.

Wow, Jade's pyschic powers are goood. Seeing into the future is nice, but what's really impressive is that she was somehow able to determine the gender of the Peregrine Mendicant.

That's pretty sweet, d Roy. Wish I could feel that good.

@condot - I always found grappling fascinating, but it is even more fun than I thought! In fact, I am thinking about joining my university's wrestling team.

@Freeman - Thanks.

@story: I don't know which of the Exiles is my favorite.

They're all so much fun.

That is so cool, actually. I wish I had the skill to beat people senseless.
