Thats all the pics from it! I especially love the 360 games! The kitties will love those pompoms... I have to ration them out. I plan to read the books as soon as I finish the books I am in the middle of as well.
Thank you to Majuju for all the fun loot and sikander for setting it all up!

A friend had a bad drug trip a while ago. Said he could only remember this string of digits being important. Hopefully the shack will not get dropped so I can archive this on the internet

I don't have any range weapons at the moment but I'm thinking a shotgun for indoors and a machine gun for outdoors. I like knives but they are impractical. I need a real katana. Other than that I haven't made any plans yet. There is some canned tuna here but not enough water.
I need to make a list of things to buy with water at the very top.

Two refrigerator magnets. Seriously, I needed refrigerator magnets. No, really. Check them out now on my previously barren refrigerator:

"Or rather, Merry WE 2007!
I hope the package will make it in time, and I'm afraid I couldn't fit the white elephant in there, so I chose a small lion king instead.
Along with some other stuff of course!
See you on
le Shack!

Real Munchen (Munich) Bavaria (province?) T shirt in L size (which fits me, yay!) I'm not sure what the thing on the right says, but it is metal and appears to be of dot Indian origin and has letters. Also, the lion king figurine!
And...

Clive Barker's Undying! I never played this before so I'll see if I can give it a shot.
Thanks Flinz!

My father was given an 8 disc BBC radio comedy series for xmas. Nobody uses CD's anymore in my family (or anywhere that I can tell). But damnit, freedb doesn't have the disc info. So I've got hundreds of tracks to rip to MP3 so dad can actually listen to them on his iPod when he's riding his motorbike, or on the MP3 CD player in the car. And I have to manually name each track and do all of the ID3v2 stuff.
blurst.
I have Tag & Rename It. But it really makes you appreciate freedb when you're faced with this much file renaming.
It is funny that the very act of taking it from CD, and putting it on MP3 for him to listen to on his bike - his property - is illegal.
I prefer ripping it to non DRM'd Mp3s using LAME than getting some crappy AAC files from iTunes that are locked down to hell, though.
How do you fags organise and name your mp3s? I'm going artist\title\track number with a leading 0 - trackname.mp3 - and then doing the rest of the ID3V2 stuff that's necessary (screw genre)

I would like a complete co-op sandbox game where you have complete control of anything and are able to manipulate everything in the environment ala garry's mod and you have to build up defenses and barricades for a set amount of time that is user controlled (maybe just a "go" button when you are ready)...
and then the zombie invasion begins and you have to see how long you can last.
This could also be played out in a god mode (like the Sims) where you build the defenses for a group of AI-controlled people and have them try and survive based on how well your barricade stands up.

If you're still lingering in lower resolutions, what's holding you back? For me it was to match resolutions with my laptop- my old Compaq couldn't do 1280x1024

God, the humidity. Today is basically the first time the sun has come out since I got here on the 16th....so needless to say, I'm in an Internet Cafe.
I gotta say that driving around Denpasar and Kuta on a scooter in a thunderstorm at night is one of the most frightening experiences of my life.
I wish I could stay here a lot longer. Beers for $1. Dinners for $3-4. 1.5 hour massages for $8.

There's a whole slew of "Infected" actors. I'm confused. All of the Infected people I saw in the movie were clearly CG. Where exactly were the real actors?

If you've seen the trailer, you see that he's taking golf swings off of the deck of an aircraft carrier. Now Riddle me this: Why didn't he just set up his home there? Hello, STEEL BULKHEADS?!? Surely the doors would have some pretty damn strong locking capabilities, he could have holed up in the bridge, in the event that below deck there were tons of sailor zombies or whatever. I'm sure the galley had tons and tons of food supplies, too. Armories... etc. Instead he just plays golf there, and lives in his NY house with apparantly flimsy iron shutters? oh well

I haven't backed anything up since then, but I just bought a 320gb WD drive, deleted all the shit I had on the drives, and made them one 100gb partition.
Finally I can have more than like 4 steam games at once. fuck yes.

I just went and bought TWO DualShock 3 controllers from PlayAsia and two 5-litre draught kegs of Heineken. On impulse.
I mean the beer is fucking awesome and will truly be handy on New Year's Eve but the controllers, well I dunno. Still, they're not out here yet so I'll feel all blinged up and exclusive.
