Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Jul 15, 2003 5:45pm PDTWell today was full of sitting in hours of rush-hour traffic excitement! I'm not sure when that next Half-Life 2 video is due but it's pretty obvious to most people that Steam has been a bit forward thinking on pushing out that content to clients already. We've got 400meg cache files and a 70 meg video so far to look at... hmmmm.... Yeah so take a look here aye?

A guy walks into a bar with his pet monkey. He orders a drink and while he's drinking, the monkey jumps all around the place. The monkey grabs some olives off the bar and eats them, then grabs some sliced limes and eats them, then jumps onto the pool table, grabs one of the billiard balls, sticks it in his mouth, and to everyone's amazement, somehow swallows it whole.
The bartender screams at the guy, "Did you see what your monkey just did?"
The guy says "No, what?"
He just ate the cue ball off my pool table-whole!"
"Yeah, that doesn't surprise me," replied the guy, "he eats everything in sight, the little bastard.
Sorry. I'll pay for the cue ball and stuff." He finishes his drink, pays his bill, pays for the stuff the monkey ate, then leaves.
Two weeks later he's in the bar again, and has his monkey with him. He orders a drink and the monkey starts running around the bar again. While the man is finishing his drink, the monkey finds a maraschino cherry on the bar. He grabs it, sticks it up his ass, pulls it out, and eats it. Then the monkey finds a peanut, and again sticks it up his ass, pulls it out, and eats it.
The bartender is disgusted.
"Did you see what your monkey did now? He asks.
"No, what?"replies the guy.
"Well, he stuck a maraschino cherry and a peanut up his ass, pulled it out, and ate it!" said the bartender.
Yeah, that doesn't surprise me," replied the guy. "He still eats everything in sight, but ever since he had to shit out that cue ball, he measures everything first."

stuff is fucking nuts here. the locals have never seen a white person in public, so i'm getting treated like a king. i got on the local news channel, have been given free beer, and food, and get "hello's" from almost every passerby. Clubs here are nuts...I just go crazy and everyone starts to imitate my crazy-ass "american" dancing. The girls love it. When I got here, I wasn't too into the Chinese girls (esp the ones with hairy pits), but now I'm getting more into them, which is noooo problem ;)
Most of the people here play "The Legen of Mir," which is a complete Diablo knockoff. Anyone think this is a worthwhile game? I think it's free, but am not sure.

Man, so many cool new options for networking my PC content into my home theater, I'm getting all fuzzy inside.
Although the QCast tuner software for PS2 sounds nice, I don't like the idea of having to put in the disc and booting up the PS2 just for this.
