Morning Discussion

Oh, it's all fun and games here at Shacknews. Chris gallivants around QuakeCon, cosying up to id CEOs and superstars. Nick kicks back at BlizzCon to reacquaint himself with his dear friend the wizaaaaaaard and befriend Diablo 3's monk. Even Maarten's in on the fun, hitting up Gamescom to enjoy countless video games in a sophisticated European manner including Borderlands, which he said looked particularly splendid before sucking on a clove cigarillo.

Me? Well, knowing that events are far more work than they might appear to be, I'm secretly a little glad that I end up staffing the office to post the flood of media, even if it does mean I miss out on playing all the fancy pants video games before the hoi polloi.

  Disneyland is a waste of money and time if you are over 10 years old.
  
  Instead you should hit the 1 from Oxnard and take the PCH north until Salinas. Not doing so and taking the 5 should be criminal if you haven't done it before. The drive contains some of the most incredible coastline in on the continent. Plus you can visit the Redwoods, sea Big Sur, Morrow Bay, Monterey Bay, Carmel, etc.
  
  It really doesn't make any sense to take the 5 the whole way up after that either. You might as well fly. There is nothing along the highway a hundred miles inland. It's going to be white trash and truck stops.
  
  Also consider going to Zion in Utah.
