Kinda feels like really stupid move. I mean, I see it backfiring Bush totally. Though, did they think USA population doesn

Eh, I watched him test it myself and saw the reading on the voltometer. The battery I had in it was from September '01 so at that point in time the alternator did look okay. Not to mention the first problem the car had was the alternator and it had to be rebuilt then, grease on the ball bearing in it dried up and it froze as a consequence. Just got chewed out by my boss over the phone for not being able to make work ("Jim it's always something or other with you. *click*"). Sure I live farther away than anyone save the owner, and sure I drive a POS, and sure I go to school sixtyfive miles in the other direction and I'm cramming as many things as I can into the day, but y'know, god forbid my car break down or I get stuck in traffic because of an accident. Still haven't figured out how to get to school. Oh yeah, today's starting off good.

I was online right after my mom died because it was awkward being with my family because they were all upset and I was calm and collected. Grief is good, it means the world hasn't broken you yet.

You knew it was coming though. That's a plus.

Screw all ya'll. I'll take the bliss.

If your day goes like this I'm going to hate you so much. Right now my day looks like it's gonna be walking out to my car in a few hours and seeing if anything is noticeably exploded. Trying to convince it to limp to the mechanic's on a leap and a prayer...calling a tow if it doesn't. Calling in to work, and oh boy they're gonna be pissed off at me but what can you do--and then trying to come up with a ride to school so I don't flunk my classes and lose all the monies I put into it. Hate life so much right now.

ConvoKiller87: My car is dead. kryoxer: I watched a George Lucas flick without blowing out the telly. ConvoKiller87: Seriously I think I'm gonna cry. ConvoKiller87: I can't get to school or work without the car. ConvoKiller87: If I can't get to school I'm out $11k ConvoKiller87: That I'll have to pay back. ConvoKiller87: Also it's looking like I didn't get the job I wanted. ConvoKiller87: And my **** friend who didn't even dress nice for the interview and did everything regarding the job at the very last minute did. ConvoKiller87: I hate my life. kryoxer: Okay, what's the problem with the car? I mean, can't you, like, get someone to fix it? ConvoKiller87: I have no idea what the problem is. kryoxer: It's okay, Jim, I'll help you write goth poetry bout defecations'n'regurgitations. ConvoKiller87: Mechanic said the alternator loked like it was working right. ConvoKiller87: Said to replace the battery 'cause it was old. ConvoKiller87: Replaced the battery. ConvoKiller87: Worked alright for a little bit. ConvoKiller87: Then the battery went out. ConvoKiller87: Then it went out again. ConvoKiller87: Then I got it started again and was driving home. ConvoKiller87: Lights start dimming. ConvoKiller87: Driving home some more, people flashing their brights in my eyes because they think I'm too dimwitted to know that my lights aren't working. ConvoKiller87: AutoTransmission starts failing. ConvoKiller87: Driving along thirty miles an hour. ConvoKiller87: Manage to get it within a stone's throw from my house. ConvoKiller87: Entire car dies. ConvoKiller87: *sob* kryoxer: Eh, like, I know virtually nothing about cars. So, uh, have you phoned the mechanic-person? ConvoKiller87: Not yet. ConvoKiller87: It's ten til midnight here. kryoxer: Ah. Do you have a bike? ConvoKiller87: I think I'll just junk it and buy another POS on borrowed money. ConvoKiller87: Bike isn't feasible Baley. ConvoKiller87: 'Merikuh remember. ConvoKiller87: School is over forty miles away, work is twenty. kryoxer: Yeah, you can get there in an hour by bike, right? I mean, you can cycle on the outskirts of the freeway or something, I don't know. ConvoKiller87: Not really. ConvoKiller87: And to get to school in an hour by bike would mean I'm going roughly 45MPH. ConvoKiller87: I am not a cyclist Baley. kryoxer: OKay, then an hour and a half, it still beats going broke by 20. ConvoKiller87: Can't get between there and work in that time. ConvoKiller87: That'd be sixty five miles. ConvoKiller87: I get off work at 3:30. ConvoKiller87: School starts at six. ConvoKiller87: I'm screwed. kryoxer: How many days of school can you afford to miss? Or classes. ConvoKiller87: One more before I get in an unspecified amount of trouble. ConvoKiller87: Already missed two. kryoxer: Yeah, you're pretty much screwed.

No kidding! Thinking about it a bit, doesn't the Biosphere gone awry setting kind of mimic a post-apocolyptic setting? Things have gone very bad, there's mutations going around, and people are scavenging to survive!. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Man, that has gotten me exited in Bioshock in totally new kind of way! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah. I'm quite anticipating this game. The artstyle is very nice. The setting sounds neat. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Game world seems very much like Deus Ex in implementation too.

Well I just finished Advent Rising. Looks like I now have another game to search the internet for news of a sequel to for several hours every few months. Frickin' trilogies.

:'( That's just beautiful! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If it's not lines rendered in glorious black and white it's not a Star Wars game.

Every Star Wars game since The Empire Strikes Back [the Game] sucks because they don't resemble it or follow the same rules, period.

Also my reaction to death is basically the same as Purgatorio's.

I got pissed off at the pastor for giving an overly sentimental and entire stupid eulogy at my mom's wake. I wasn't that upset about it because I'd watched her wither for a year and a half after her stroke...she wasn't happy nor healthy. As for my own feelings about death, I'm more scared of getting old than dying.

Sending your mom some good vibes man.

Eh, our sun'll have burnt out but the universe will survive.

They can raise hell...

Hades would you honestly have been able to kill him with the standard weapons if he was killable? I mean, you couldn't even outrun him. How do you think you would have fared trying to run and gun at the same time?

Aaaand Hades has just about chased off another newbie. I believe you grey dude. Your case before the asshats here would fare a little better if you could post a few links to other people sharing the same problem. Not that I'm saying you should. It'll be interesting what happens when NWN2 is released if this isn't fixed. I'll just get a No-CD crack, I usually do anyway because I'm lazy and don't like switching discs/wearing out my drive, etc.

You could use the floodlights against the Sheriff... Man, that's such a gimmick!

>.> <.< There was also the 'lets lie together in the freezing cold and make a child <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not to mention Lucas' body parts were as cold as his surroundings by that time. Awkward. Seriously though, at least that kind of sort of made sense. When people are in imminent danger they screw.

I think this would cheapen the weerewolf too much. Machine guns and flamethrowers shouldn't cut it against werewolves. They're tougher than that. Bring silver or stay at home. (or at least some sort of magical weaponry) As for what weaponry is available, I'm pretty sure you can have the flamethrower by that time. Still shouldn't be enough imo. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That or you're a Gangrel. Gangrels are the only vampys that really take down Werewolves in WoD. That's what Warform+aggdamage is for.

Everything's better with crack. Seriously though I wonder if this is fairlisolated or more widespread. Also I'd like to see how it works with ATi cards. Also an official response from someone other than an enthusiast.

I got and played through Indigo Prophecy. It was good, but now I need to import Fahrenheit. Even though I thought the censoring wouldn't bother me, it made some parts of the game just stupid. I mean, this is a serious game, not Arrested Development. We don't need any Never-Nudes. They could've at least changed the camera angle rather than making Carla shower with her underwear on. Who does that?

6,758 posts for me. That's reaching back to February of '04 and counting both this and my Child of Flame accounts.

Too much internet, not enough social skills?
