Evening O'Reading
by Alice O'Connor, Apr 28, 2009 6:00pm PDTQuite the haul of Capcom booty today, eh? The highlight for me has to be the Dead Rising 2 news, including a spectacular trailer which highlights surely the game's best feature--donning a moose head to charge through clawing crowds of zombies. Remarkable. And it has multiplayer. And it's coming to PC. What more could I ask for?
Do check out Nick's interview with Mafia II producer Denby Grace for the inside scoop on what is shaping up to be a fine sequel to an excellent game. In other news today:
- Worry over the The Witcher console port's future.
- Ubisoft megasales at GamersGate and Direct2Drive.
- Gets your hands dirty with Ace Attorney: Miles Edgeworth.
- Singularity trailer dusts dudes.
- Resident Evil remake rerelease as Resident Evil Archives: Resident Evil.

I mean I still think the name is dopey and yes, for privacys sake it's bloody dangerous.
Beyond those 2 things though, as a very high end keyboard user, I find it the most awesome thing I've ever come across to a program, I guess it shows what spotlight and other good indexed based searches can do for finding data quick.
I hit control t, type thea, downarrow enter -the age comes up
then control t, lat downarrow enter, latestchatty
control t, gm and gmail is open (etc) and i do this constantly, absoloutely constantly - I can open things so damned quick.
Sometimes I forget the domain or where I saw something so I just type bits i remembr in the address bar like youtube treadmill kitten - bingo it finds it (Etc)
It's been awesome, I could not browse without it as far as I'm concerned.
Has anyone here been a hater and now come around to it yet?

So what does he do? He writes an application that he is selling to our competitors. Not only this, he wont continue to work with us unless we agree to allow him to use materials designed with us in his projects(in our industry), and that we sign a noncompete so that we don't sell the software we are writing on the market and compete with his product.
Am I wrong in thinking he has lost his mind?

My dad gave this to me last night and said "Clean it for me please." Anyways I get it hot and pry the dustcover off the back it and disassemble it, they really are easy to disassemble once I got the dust cover off but no more difficult then an AR-15. Anyways I clean the bore out and holy shit some of the crap that came out of the bore turned my nice bore brush completely black, I don't think Marko ever cleaned it out.
Anyways, this is the first AK pattern rifle that I handled and it wasn't to bad but the sights on it suck. Its fairly compact and shoulders fairly nice but finding that rear sight wasn't fun. Its fairly compact folder up and it would make a really nice trunk gun if it wasn't $700 with 13 mags. Going to take it to one of my 3 gun competitions this year after I install a index finger magazine changer on it, all though the rock and cock lol cock will certainly be slower then ar15 magazine changes.
TLDR-AK pattern rifle that isn't to bad but its no AR-15.

I have drawn 2 observations:
1. I don't immediately hate this song.
2. Katy Perry has a really nice rack.

My character on there is Matt Sillypants. For those that don't know about it, it's a free browser-based MMO that features pretty good graphics but can be played on just about any old computer. It features a lot of minigames (even a tower defense one), a demolition derby and mario-kart style game, and your usual quests and combat but with a twist. It's marketed towards the younger crowd, but older gamers seem to be pretty impressed with it, too. Basically it's the new Second Life, but more fun and without the sleaze.

Have a local guy here that will sell me 4 blizzak ws-50s with 17" wheels for $300. Used for 1 season.
Seems like a good deal as long as I can get at least one more season out of them. Anywhere else I should look for good deals in the offseason?

A friend suggested I watch it and I relented (my traditional rule - wait until the show has proven itself, so you don't end up wasting your time with shitty, poorly done storyline)
Anyhow I caved in (he was over at the time and brought some eps with him) - it's a great show I have to say, start of Season 2 I thought it might be losing its way but it's getting better and better now and the new chick on it holy jesus is she cute as fuck!
Check it out - it's only about 2/3 into Season 2 now so there's only maybe 2 weeks to catch up on the entire show really, very funny at times too.
The more you know.

The only possible deciding factor I can see is that while both are made for right-handers, the DeathAdder's design seems more explicitly so and I do have a person in my household who is left handed.
Not sure which one to choose.

Some websites are ass-slow in the evening, but work fine in the morning. They will instantly show as "not found" in the evening, but will load slowly in the morning.
This has been going on for a little while, and now I can only play LOTRO for a few hours in the morning. At night, I can't connect to the login screen through the launcher.
Web sites include Penny Arcade and CNN. Anything that could cause this?
(yes, LOTRO is the straw that broke the camel's back. I'm going insane)
