My roommate can't stop itching and has tiny red dots on parts of his skin. I'm guessing it's only a matter of time before they're everywhere in my room.

You know what. I agree with Lunatic Angelic that basketball should be lower. Although I agree a lot of sports should be shuffled and lowered. That being said I would argue that hockey is by far the sport that takes the most "skill." My defense is that to play hockey at a professional or even high school level you have to 1. Be very good at skating (which takes years of practice) and even the crappiest players in the NHL are at least very compotent skaters 2. Be able to stick handle 3. Have great endurance, and while the ER post pointed out Hockey rinks are smaller than a hockey field, skating for 60 minutes all out despite line changes is very difficult 4. No sport to my knowledge melds speed, coordination, and the amount of physical damage that can occur like hockey. Feel free to diss my hockey bias.
After I calmed down, I asked him to bring it by my house and buy his own crap from now on. Even if I can get it fixed, he's not getting that crap back! People..i swear!

Thanks to whomever sent me the invite, but jeez, they need more people on there (and I find that gold rush game rather easy, haven't even played the prs yet, and I'm having trouble finding opponents now).
I have a few invites, if anyone else wants in.

I'm on my second Creative Zen Microphoto. The first one broke within 5 days of ownership as the harddrive started clicking, refused to recognize there was any media on the device and was draining the battery in about 30 minutes. I returned it to the Creative Labs Store, got a new one.
I've had the new one for 50 days. It started doing the same thing, so I took it back to the store. The guy says in store warranty is only covered for 45 days, and they can't RMA it for me. He confirms the device is screwey, gives me creatives customer service number. He also asks me if I have ever run with the device. I say ya, all the time. He says that running with one violates the warranty (which is wrong as its not listed on the warranty sheet). I go home and call them.
Before they can issue an RMA, they must confirm, over the phone, that the device is defective. Ok, sounds reasonable. To do this costs $13. Are you kidding me? If I want to avoid PAYING FOR THEM TO WARRANTY THE DEVICE, I have to use email support. Fine, I go to the page. Enter all the information. My email was accepted, and it says they will get back to me within 2 fucking weeks.
TL;DR: Avoid Creative Labs Customer Service and Apparently Shitty Products
Not good for BluRay

I was playing DoD on a random server and made a complaint about how incredibly inaccurate the pistol is and about how ridiculous the recoil is on most guns, when an admin, who apparently is in the army and fires guns for a living, begins to argue with me. Now, I'm all for a good argument, but not when playing a game, but he insists on continuing, saying that Valve made the game as realistic as they could without losing players, to which I responded if they really wanted to make it realistic, they should tone down the speed at which players run, tone down the recoil, bump up the accuracy of most guns, etc. Apparently, for this, I'm a noob and have never fired a gun in my life, because Mr. Army Man says these are realistic and must obviously know because he fires guns for a living. At this point I'm tired of arguing with this tard and said "sure thing, champ." and got banned.
I'll restate what I said last night in that Oakland car trashing thread, I have no more hope for mankind.

I have a problem of fish swallowing the hook. (if you know what I mean, wink wink nudge nudge)
I'm mainly fishing for small panfish like bluegills, sunnys and crappies. Can I just get much bigger hooks that they can't swallow? Or will I not be able to catch the fish on bigger hooks?
