it's this guy - winding northeast from winters lake up to pretty much due north of shaw lake, where it turns to gravel.
my roommate took his 914 out and followed me around in the deuce for a bit and we both had to get out and take a breather at the top. fun. ass. road. no traffic either. no straights more than 1000ft ALL turns. mostly the fun on-camber style some increasing and some decreasing in diameter.

Just finished it again. One six-hour sitting.
Words cannot describe the admiration I have for Remedy. I can look at this game and truly admire how far the medium has come as an artform. Simply incredible.

I'm very poor and live in a rented flat with my GF of 2 and a half years and two friends.
GF says she wants needs to go on holiday and I have suddenly realised a flaw in my personality. I would love to go on holiday but there is a part of my that absolutly won't let me do it. I just keep making excuses as to why we can't go or why it would be bad if we went but deep down as far as i can work out the reason is I can not bring myself to spend money on something not physical. The very idea that i will be spending money on a "time" rather than an object that will last is like a sort of barrier.
This is getting to the point now where me and her are going to split up because of it. What the hell do i do? At most if we were to live like absolute hermits I estimate that we can put away maybe £100 a month. Lets say we go on a decent holiday, thats gonna cost like £1000 at least. Thats 10 months of living in poverty for a week or 2 of having a good time only to return to poverty after and all we will have for it is "aaww that was a nice time"
ARRRRGH.

Gunfire and explosions reported in Notting Hill? The live feed has bobbies yelling over a megaphone at a flat, a good 2 dozen guns are aimed at the place.
Sounds like maybe a bomb went off early?

I simply cannot do without my xbox controller within reach, since I'm getting through Ninja Gaiden. And of course there's Domo-Kun, ruling the wooden wasteland atop his mountain of skulls. Logitech should sponsor me, I've bought enough of their stuff over the years. O_o

Huh. Has the MLB always had interleague games during the season? I always thought teams only played against others in the same league until the World Series.
Also, why does the American League have 14 teams and the National League have 16?

Have you ever bought a game and not its sequel?
Ever bought a sequel and not the first one?
The first one's easy - I've bought lots of games and passed on their sequels. But I can't seem to find one sequel where I hadn't either also bought the first one or went back to go buy it. Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 and that's about it. Who else?

My old ISP is being a dick about letting me go. I have been with them for 2 years now, but I upgraded my plan in February and they maintain I still have 6 months left on my 1 year contract. Oh they can cancel my service, but with a $250 early cancellation fee (that they never mentioned in the first place).
I want to max out my connection 100% of the time so they end up cancelling my account. How can I do this?

I end up with a "fucked up" selection compared to the classic builds..
Assassination Talents: 16
Combat Talents: 14
Subtlety Talents: 21
What is the primary reason for getting those last "expensive" talents, they seem more like a limited super boost for one on one encounters...?

Specially the PDA client is all kinds of sweetness. The interface is simple and the system is quite fast.
Also: it's free ! (well, not the ultra-pro edition) and _really_ easy to use.
I'll try to configure other different VNC and remote control stuff, but this one here already has a place in my heart. I need to read more about the security on it, though. Any other shacker using it?
And there never seems to be an admin around to ban any of these tools either.
Bah!
