Evening Reading
by Nick Breckon, Nov 25, 2008 6:00pm PSTCelebrating Thanksgiving away from home is a real thankless pain in the ass. Today I caved in and bought a turkey breast and a bunch of pre-made sides from Whole Foods. I could almost feel the laser-like gazes of my fellow food snobs, staring down their noses at me as they picked up their caviar and truffles. But hey, you do what you have to do to survive on The Streets.

I just dug out my copy of Homeworld and realized something: I miss the old big boxes. Homeworld was the last game I bought that came in one. (the 1999 GOTY edition) My copy had the disks and the Prima strategy guide, but it also has this awesome Homeworld historical and technical brief. (that I just spent an hour reading through) What treasures do you still have around from the PC gaming days of yore?

I cant get the song "Better" out of my head from the new album - this isn't a bad thing.
I also think "Shacker's Revenge" is one of the best rock songs that came out this year.

Never have to ride that god damn bus ever again. I was able to get to work within 45 minutes today. For the past few years its taken me an hour and a half to two hours every morning. Driving myself in is like a fun high speed chase. Fucking flew here
Never again will I subject myself to that bus ride. The idiots on their cell phones, Unable to use vibrate so you have to get woken up to their horrible ring tones. The $5.00 charge each way, which is soon going up to $7.50. Fuck that shit so hard.I'm so happy right now.
Best part is I can get shitfaced in the city after work and leave my car there until the end of time if I want to. So sweet.

I woke up this morning to an email stating, "Your friend re-Verse has given you a gift subscription to the game Left 4 Dead on Steam, the leading digital distribution platform for PC games." Yay, early Christmas! Sometimes the generosity of the shack community surprises me.
If someone can add me to the shack L4D group my steam id is http://steamcommunity.com/id/enemaking - though my playing time over the next 1.5-2 weeks will be limited due to exams coming up and a busy work schedule ahead to pay down my tuition related debt.
If I were gay I would definitely blow re-verse (or if someone wants to blow him in my stead then feel free). Thanks again! I can't wait to get in on the action (after the massive download finishes). I also know it's not much, but in the same shack spirit, if anyone hasn't played HL2 yet and is an active member of the shack then let me know. I still have a free copy I can gift to whoever wants it (if there are more than a couple of people interested I'll just hit up a number generator and pick a number that will correspond to a request, as opposed to a first come first serve basis).
