OK, so not exactly boredom...

Anyway, messing around in Excel, using it to recreate some old 8-Bit NES stuffs. Click thumbnails for larger versions.

Super Mario Bros.


The Legend Of Zelda


Mega Man


And then, just to see if I could, a 16-bit version of Mega Man:


It's not too bad, but due to my widescreen monitor, I was one row short for his hair. There's supposed to be a little spike up there...

So.. yeah... Fun with Excel.

You, sir, are a hero. This may be one of the only good uses of Excel. Now you're thinking with spreadsheets!

Umm... I also use Excel to track various stuffs for CoH... Builds, Respecs, IO sets needed for builds, Salvage for crafting Common IOs, NPC Vend Prices for Set IO Recipes, list of arcs with good Merit returns, what I can cash Candy Canes in for, tracking Praetorians defeated for the badge, tracking where who is for what Day Job, along with what Day Jobs are done, a listing of all 83 of my characters across 4 servers & two accounts, what charcter is in what SG/VG, a listing of my characters from highest non-50 to lowest so that I can see at a glance who to switch to for a TF, and a listing of what powerset combos I've made by side and AT.

Essentially, I've made Excel my ***** for CoH.

Also: Where are mai kitteh pix!!

Nice.

Note that in Excel, CTRL+MOUSEWHEEL will magnify or shrink the 'spreadsheet' just like in a browser. That way, you can see the whole 'spreadsheet' at once. Just an FYI.

Mostly, I am just traumatized by Excel because of the spreadsheets at work >_> And it is true, this thread is entirely bereft of kittens.

So, kitty kisses for you!
