Putting Satan aside for a bit, I can remember playing the original Super Mario Bros. game as a child. I mean the one on the NES, not the arcade game. Sometimes I did run really fast and complete a level without getting any coins or extra lives. That may have something to do with Awesome Games Done Quick.

Something that amuses me is when people take some completely random activity, and then turn it into a charity. It's for a good cause! You have to beat that video game as fast as possible!

Knowing for sure that I have not drunkenly contracted an STD is a bit of morning happiness that I would never want to sacrifice to the gods of alcohol. Peace of mind is happiness, indeed.

These dudes raised a million dollars playing video games in AGDQ 2014. I guess that's cool, because that's not a small amount of money.

I suppose it is for a good cause as well. Some of the money went to a relief agency called CARE.

If one drinks a lot on a regular basis, they will see its impact on their back account. They see their savings, their future vacations, their retirements, all gone to alcohol, instead.

I will give CARE and the people of AGDQ the benefit of the doubt, but sometimes these NGO relief organizations are not as sweet as they seem. The CEO might make an exorbitant salary, and the services they offer might not help people the way they claim.

If I can talk for thirty minutes about Awesome Games Done Quick, which I have never heard of, I think I have a good chance in this challenge. Hopefully the future topics will be easier, because I believe the difficulty may also begin increasing.

In the long term, it's difficult to reconcile the sacrifice of safety and security for momentary pleasure. Of course, if budgeted for properly, one can avoid falling victim to their vices, maintaining a healthy balance of responsibility and fun.

I wonder if this posting challenge will become an Awesome Game Done Quick. It's possible, depending on the spelling of certain words. I'd advise the moderators to look up the spelling of the word "bank" in determining how quickly this awesome game gets done.

In Awesome Games Done Quick, no emulators are allowed. The event does not want people conducting tool-assisted runs.

Potential negative impacts on health cannot be ignored, either. Drinking too much too often can lead to myriad issues, including but not limited to weight gain, liver disease, and high blood pressure.

It appears I have a new topic and the game continues, despite Propaganda Machine writing the word "bank" as "back." I think for my worst school dance experience, I'd have to go back to middle school.

I spent my early childhood in St. Louis, and I've been to Texas several times. As a food-lover, I have to appreciate the regional stories told by their various barbeques.

There were some good things that happened during this dance. A girl approached me on behalf of her friend and asked if I'd dance with that friend.

Now, I didn't know the first thing about how to dance. Neither did almost anyone else, however.

In middle school, dancing often just meant putting your arms around the other person and slowly moving in circles with them. Actually, that's pretty much still what dancing means to me.

The skin on the chickens was always dark and crisp. In retrospect, they must have been smoking, and then marinading in sauce, for hours and hours.

It was still an awkward experience, however. My nerves were rattled and my heart rate increased! A more awkward moment was yet to come, of course.

Certain people began dancing more raucously. People were getting silly and a bit wild, kind of throwing their arms up and dancing in a big group. Certain posters had six minutes between their time stamps.

Long story short, a popular girl asked me to dance with her and the wild kids and I went and did it despite being scared and knowing how awkward I'd look. A friend who was sitting on the bleachers the whole time (the dance was in a gym) came and grabbed my arm and said, "Have you no shame??" I'm not sure how terrible I was or how much of a spoilsport my friend was, but anyway, I left the dance floor feeling like a goober.

Yeah, I sank myself trying to get that backlog together. Came in handy when I messed up the i tag, and then when I misspelled barbecue.

Now that it's over, I have to say I kind of agreed with Fast Luck about the back account thing :shobon:

Whatever. I'm pretty happy that's not going all night. Congrats dude.
