What was the hardest you ever worked, for the least amount of money?
I remember cleaning out every eaves trough in this old lady's house(not a sexual reference), for like 2 hours. She gave me 8 quarters. Sadly, she thought she had paid me a lot for the job and I didn't have the heart to tell her she was 40 years removed from the time where that would have been an appropriate payment.

I saw the ones with Ross Kemp (a British TV actor) and Ben Stiller directing a war movie, I think its funnier than the office. I was in tears when he had Ben Stiller ranting at the kid and threatening to shoot his Mum. Ricky Gervais is a genius.
Is this show on in the States? i guess so because it said it was a BBC/HBO production.

Reading this tripe about iWeb's "awful" output is hilarious. "No trackbacks! No comments! The code is unmaintainable! This is awful, shitty software!". Get over yourself. It's a tool for web idiots to have a presence, just like Frontpage was. And, if by some chance iWeb starts spewing clean, pretty looking code, those elitist web designers will be out of a job once $6.50/hr high school kids can produce websites that rival their hand-coded ones.

I'd have to take Age of Empires 2. No matter how many years have passed I can still load that game up and pick some random civilization and have a four hour marathon battle where I try to figure out strategies against whichever other weird civilizations I'm up against. :P

Interview with EP, one of the top guilds in the game. They are also one of the cockiest and least liked, heh. Lumi is the guild leader. Here are some of the funny quotes from the interview.
Lumi: Currently we change because we set the metagame with whatever we run. Right now you can see most the top guilds running our build, trying to mimic it. Then we change again, and the metagame is changed once again, and the cycle continues.
Lumi: Not really. We get flamed no matter WHAT we do, due to jealously. All we run into is other people running our builds. We change, they change, etc. Just no more originality.
Funny because in one of their tournament matches they copied another guilds build (and played it horribly).
Samyel: Glorious retirement, then.
Lumi: That's more like it.
They totally got steamrolled tonight and are out of the tournament. No money for them, no going to Taipei. Yeah my guild is out too, but we're a bit more humble.

So...e-drama. Maybe you have to play to understand.

Tag team is just like...the best thing of all time. Seriously I never enjoy tag team in the single player, but it was an absolute blast with shackers. I teamed up with Burning tree's to lay down the minority smack down! Raoul Duke made a nice showing tearing shit up everywhere he went. The online modes have a lot of differnt options and it's fun to go back to the lobby and chew the fat while switching rounds. The lag was pretty much non existant, every 20-30 games or so we'd get one round that was pretty laggy then nothing for another 20-30 rounds and this was with 6 people pretty much all night. We had a lot of traffic pass through and I look forward to making this a weekly shack addition. Thanks everyone!
