Current Events > Have you ever done anything cool?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Something singular. Like, I got to go in a mortuary one time and saw a dead girl from a crash by my house?

What's something cool that happened to you? Or something you did?

I made a stop motion short that was shown at a film festival.

I influenced the design of a Transformers box set from 2015.

i made a bunch of indie games and romhacks

One time in high school in the gym, I chucked a basketball from one end of the court to the other and made it in.

That's about it.

While playing center field in high school baseball, I chased down a fly ball into right field, caught in, crashed into the fence, and doubled up the runner that was on his way to third from first. I had a stitching imprint on my face from the fence after catching the ball.

I also stole home during a game, too.

I won $500 off a scratch off.

I understudied a minor role in a play for one performance with a weeks notice and no rehearsal while visiting home on a college break. I watched one rehearsal that weekend, taking notes. Spent the next week back at college memorizing the role. Went back home and watched the Friday night performance. Then performed the role at the Saturday night show.

I was Times person of the year once.

I did a backflip once and hit the side of one of those plastic kids tables, which flipped it over me.

I made a stained glass sun-catcher that was the red ghost from Pac-Man, when I was about 10. Have no idea what became of it. It was about 8" or 9" tall.

I once [REDACTED] with a [REDACTED] during [REDACTED] while [REDACTED] was there.

I played ukulele on stage in front of the whole school and then wasnt allowed to the graduation

Said no to drugs

I drifted a M88 (60ton tank).

I threw 3 bullseyes in a row in darts to win a game I otherwise would have lost. That was just like 6 months ago.

I was on slime time live on Nickelodeon as a kid

when I was a kid I had a nerf gun that shot little foam balls, and my friend had the gun that shot those rubber rings. We shot them at each other at the same time, and the foam ball got stuck in the rubber ring in the air and they dropped to the ground.

I actually had to think about this for a little while :<

I'm not very cool

Helped with the English translation of Super Robot Taisen A Portable.

I was an early developer on a software project that was a big enough disaster to have its own Wikipedia article. I left before it got really bad, though.

So, I guess you vould say that your leaving the project really...tanked...it, huh?

Went swimming in the ocean which a lot of people have done but I did it hundreds of miles from any land whatsoever way out in the ocean when in the Navy. That was cool. Also was pulled on a big inflatable tube behind our destroyer. Being pulled by a warship at high speed like I was fucking around on a lake with my uncle was trippy. I thought that stuff was cool.

When I was 10-12, I was pitching for my baseball team and once caught a hard line drive that was hit right at me. Apparently, it looked like I just nonchalantly stuck my glove out to my left side and caught it. Sadly, I peaked in elementary school and have been an unimaginable loser since then.

I had a six week training period for a previous job where the 8 of us in the program all lived in the same hotel and hung out for dinner and stuff all the time

I held on to a dolphin as it swam kinda fast.

I served a lot of famous clients in my line of work and I had free backstage passes to some big festivals and concerts via my work

My sister and I have played guitar while riding skateboards
