A very sad, sad, funny story....

[sharringtonm]

-----------Time: A couple Months ago -------------------------
I had hurt my back and was doped up on Vicodin (prescription). I was in absolutely no condition to do anything requiring thought, much less operate a motor vehicle. (Some how I still pulled off the win in the biggest D&D nerd trivia contest!)
LH comes to me, hes working on his brand new statistics page, and tells me one of the obsidian functions is broken and if I had any ideas. I really didn't but I told him I'd think about it.
Slipping in and out of delerium I wrote a script in 5 hours that replaced the obsidian default and actually worked better. (it was only 30 lines and it should have only taken me about 20 minutes). I uploaded it to Saulus and promptly forgot about it except when LH confimred it worked.
-------------Time: Present Day-----------------------------
LH comes to me and say the script I wrote needs to account for something else. So I take a look at it.
I can't make heads or tales of it. I have no recollection of writing whats there, nor can I follow the logic path. Yet somehow it works.

Moral: Drugs are bad! They will come back to make you feel stupid you!

Lol, well apparently the key to unlocking your genius is being dopes up on Vicodin. So you see what the obvious solution to this problem is don't you? (hint:take some Vicodin and then take another look at your script).

The phenomena is called "State Dependency". One learns something during a particular state and they must be in the same state before they can recall it.

The above reference shows a study using alcohol but it can apply to many other drugs.

Similarly, I can make notes in lectures while asleep. Sadly, I cannot follow it afterwards, which leads to problems.

[Jaeram]

Just take your test, while asleep. Ahh...

thats precisely why I dont do ANYTHING before getting baked

[Inner Biotch]

Awww, you must have no resistance!

Need to try somethin stronger, I'd say. Hmmm, a couple of Perco or Methadone or?????

[darcane]

Whats funny is i remember when you were on them ...i was talking to you for awhile...you were pretty out there

[sharringtonm]

Sigh, here we go again. You know how bad you feel when you do something stupid like create an infinte loop that slowly eats up system resources and grows larger and larger, snowballing until finally the client crashes cause it can't support the math needed for the script?

Stupid acquire script. Words of wisdom, don't become a scripter for nwn. You'll be happier that way.

Im agree with him... stupid NWN script, if you mess up one line, the half of the systems stops working.

That sounds like all programming in general, not just nwscript.

Programming it's like having a histerical girlfriend.

So Entropy inspired me to do this.

Lots of people have seen the Fabio like hair already... so.. what the hell.. Here's Snow Hawk. Feel free to ridicule him in game and here as much as you wish
