And of course I'm town...

No, you're Ichimaru Gin.

*ba-dum chhhhhhhhh*

Don't ever leave me again 

Don't worry, my precious little Ichimaru Gin. I will forever make horrible puns within earshot.

[Ichimaru Gin]

ok

[Seprix]

ok

You're taking this really well.

[Ichimaru Gin]

Ok. It's official. Seprix is my dishonest role model.

[Ichimaru Gin]

I can't believe it. I swear I couldn't make this stuff up even if I wanted to.

My professor just emailed me, and it turns out there was a file mixup and there were no identical assignments.
I feel kinda bad for my professor now 

[Axxle]

Wow, blaming mod error?

[Ichimaru Gin]

Wow, blaming mod error?

I'm dying.

I love this place so much. It's very special.

[Kuildeous]

I'm glad the situation was resolved. File mix-ups can happen, especially if there isn't a clear and consistent way of naming the files.

If I ever take a programming course for a grade, I'd have to make it a point to declare all my variables in distinctly unique ways to prove the program is mine.

Don't feel too bad.

I am glad this was resolved quickly, though.

Definitely don't feel bad about it. Plagiarism is serious, but accusations of plagiarism are equally serious. He should have double and triple checked that the assignments were identical before accusing anybody.

I have Street Fighter V now. Never played it, so I'll obviously suck. But I'm pretty good at Smash Bros, so I hope I can adjust.

Sometimes I forget which thread this is, and then non sequiturs like these really throw me.

I fixed your typo for you.

Don't worry, I won't plagiarize my opponent's moves.

Anybody has any thoughts about Super Smash Bros for WiiU?
My group of friends casually played SSBB before the disc broke (long and sad story -.-'), and we're idly considering either having somebody buy a Wii U, buying a new SSBB, or finding a "free" solution to the SSBB problem.

That, Just Dance and Mario Kart are virtually the only stuff we play on the Wii, so I'm not sure we'd actually buy a new console even if SSB for WiiU is amazing.

I actually kind of liked Brawl so I'm uniquely qualified to answer this versus Melee purists.

SSB4 is strictly better than Brawl. Not even close. Not once since I have bought 4 have I even thought about playing Brawl. It's a very well balanced (for Smash) and very fun fighting game. It is worth getting a Wii U for (though also pick up Mario Kart 8 and 3D World, two of the best games in their respective serieses)

If I had a Wii U, SSB4 would be my first buy. Melee is accidentally deep (and is a bit deeper than SSB4) but SSB4 is just clearly a better game for me than Melee.

I was going to suggest Splatoon and Super Mario Maker, but based on your list of most-played Wii games, it sounds like you're looking more for couch multiplayer, which neither of those games offers.

Speaking of IRL multiplayer, did anybody else play Pac-Man Vs. on the GameCube? Man that was a fun game.

Pac Man VS, along with Four Swords / Advent Children, are the only reason I have kept all my GBAs and GC GBA cables for all these years. It's such a novel concept for a video game, and it's always a blast. It would be SUPER EASY to port this to Wii U, so I hope that happens.

I really wish they'd re-release Pac-Man Vs. on the WiiU. I mean the system seems designed specifically for that game.

Me: "It would be like comparing the number of shark attacks against... the number of planets humans live on. One number might change but the other has always been one."

Girl in class: "Aren't there three planets humans live on? Earth, Mars and the Moon?"

*Slightly later*

Boy in class: "Isn't there another identical earth planet they found somewhere which has copies of all of us on it?"

Admittedly, these are 11 year old kids, but still, they're an average to above average ability group...

Maybe they're messing with you.  Or maybe they know something you don't.

What are you teaching that you used this analogy?

We were talking about Scatter Graphs. Positive and negative correlation, strong and weak correlation. One kid (who is quite animated) asked what would happen if your points formed a perfect line going straight across or straight up, and that's where I ended up using that analogy. It was the first thing that popped into my head.

(Also obligatory reminder that I'm a teaching assistant not a teacher, so I wasn't really 'teaching' anything, I just happened to pipe up before the actual teacher did in this case)

Man, how many (original series) Star Trek episodes were there where they found identical Earth planets? It was at least one, but I think it was more like three. And I'm not even talking about the alternate universe or whatever, just alternate Earths floating in space.

Obviously the boy has read about the multiverse hypothesis and mixed "another planet" with an "infinite amount of identical planets" up
