I got a new job, they subsidize bus passes... I think I'll bite on that. Not too shabby of a bus ride, no transfers - and not paying parking OR gas equates into a LOT of coffee... sooooo...
How are we these days on portable media things?

Anybody know anything about these? I found www.highwayrobbery.net, which is very interesting, but I don't know how much to trust them. Are they worth fighting? I'd love to save $350.

When at a club where you're supposed to meet a shacker.. Do not approach the geeky looking guy who has been kinda looking at you funny for the last ten minutes and say "If I had a lamp and some sand, what would you give me?"
Especially if said person is standing next to some scary bouncers.
That is all.

Example: The song Matador by Los Fabulosos Cadillacs is a great song. I heard it played many times in clubs. Recently it was shown on some Checy truck commercials. It was also in the Gross Point Blank soundtrack.
Here is the video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSEEUnr82QM&search=matador%20fabulosos%20cadillacs
While in Mexico I was listening to the song again but this time payed attention tot he lyrics. Don't ask me how I was able to hear this song so many times and never bother to listen to it. So in the lyrics he mentions Victor Jara. This made me google the name. Turns out he was a Chilean folk singer that was killed by the military. The song by Los Fabulosos Cadillacs is about the military coming to get him in his house and how he is not silenced.
This research would have been a pain int he ass but the Internet makes it a simple thing.

I keep sliding the slider down one notch to the left as per these instructions.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_engine#Looping_Audio
It fixed my problem flawlessly for HL2 and HL2 EP1, I've managed to play like 3 or 4 hours into EP1 and now it's started crashing.
So I checked the option, it's slid back to high performance?!
I slide it down, start the game, it crashes, I re-boot- guess what, it's on high performance again.
I've got an Asus A8N SLI-Premium, I've even changed audio drivers from the stock Asus / Realtek version to the WHQL drivers supplied by MS @ Windows update.
What.the.heck? :(
About to hit steam forums for this but I doubt I'll see help within a week if at all for such an obscure problem.

The shack seems to be broken for me in FF. I have Javascript enabled, and when I click on a reply I can see that post in threaded form, but if I try to reply it doesn't work and my name and email link is completely gone from the top of the page.
It worked a while ago but when it stopped I figured it would sort itself out. Anyone have any ideas?

So here is something I always find difficult- game tutorials. You have to teach the player how to play the game, but how far can you go before it sucks?
