Evening Reading: What Are You Playing?

Last night, the finals of the Shacknews StarCraft II beta tournament were killed by some server downtime and updates by Blizzard. Sad! The games were played and the replays will be streamed and casted. The good news is that the first phase of the beta has been extended until June 7th.

This weekend, I'll be playing "pack up and move".

What about you?

    RDR and American history fans

    Check out this video (accompanied by a cool Air song) of a cable car ride down Market Street in San Francisco, circa 1905 (pre-earthquake):

    Check out how dem city boys lived. It looks like it would be so easy to get hit by a car or something, people are all over the place. Pretty awesome, watching these people living their lives is riveting to me.

      There is an utter lack of hipsters and stinky people. This cannot be SF.

        Take heed that those bicycles were probably fixed geared and there was certainly no shortage of stupid beards and mustaches.

        The second dude, and everyone like him, need a nice reservation to live out their plymouth rock fantasies on, like a chunk of yellowstone or something. No evolutionists, no socialists, no abortions.

        And if they start suffering infection and starvation, they can just pray on it.

        You've obviously never been to the financial district in Toronto. Not much of a difference less the top hat.

        I think now in "modern western civilization" most young men don't know how to properly dress.
        I mean everytime I go out, too many ppl dress up with their pants falling down and tank tops.

        Imagine a video you made during the present time of you just riding down the street was viewed 100 years from now by a million+ people in total amazement? This is that. Incredible.

        thats one of the reasons I LOVE watching the old old videos of Disneyland from the 1950s. The people are so well dressed. I go there today and people are in the shittiest rags and look like crap :( Why did we lose that need to dress nicely? Was it because of the hippies in the 60s? Damned hippies.

          ...and most of them are super fucking fat and riding in carts so that they don't actually have to walk 5 feet to go buy another 5 hot dogs.

            haha this is true. The reason so many people have those carts is that Disneyland is not allowed to refuse a wheelchair if someone asks for one. The person just has to give them a deposit for it and they can have one. They have the electric ones and the regular ones as well. Its kind of sad how many people just take advantage of this.

          When I say it's painful I really truly mean it's painful. LIke the movie is unbearable to watch with sound.
