  2. Then better hope that you'll never be the target of a really dangerous burglar or burglars. I like being prepared though, totally beats hoping in my book. I'd be interested to see what the statistics are on how many people are victims of a home invasion and would have been able to prevent it if armed with a gun. I mean, sure, it may make you feel better, but if the odds are the same as getting hit by lightning, I'm not going to walk around wearing a large lightning deflection rod on my head just in case. That'd be one hell of a statistic to gather that they "would have" been able to prevent it if they had a gun. How do you determine that, exactly ? Doesn't really matter what you decide to defend yourself with - a gun is no more evil than a sword or a iron rod - never hurts to at least be prepared. Shotguns would work best I think, the racking sound is intimidating in its own right. Also Don't think they would be very effective at it, to be honest
  3. Payday 2 with three friends. Sure is fun to plan out a stealthy approach to some missions, although it just turns into Heat most of the time. Tempted to cheat a bit and watch how some others do it, but is more fun to figure it out ourselves.
  4. Having nothing to do at work due to external factors isn't as fun as one would think. Passing the time reading up on bash scripting.
  5. Yeah, I figure I'll wait until they patch it up or show that their vision of the game was crap to begin with, either or time works to the advantage.
  6. Some nimble backpedalling
  7. Finished Reamde at last. It'd make a good movie, decent characters - Sokolov and Zula are my favourites in it. The game in the book, well, Stephenson sure had a fanciful view of what's possible. His endings are meh as expected, this one wrapping up pretty fast and the antagonist gets it in a relatively anti-climactic way. On to the Forever War.
  8. Some awesome silat on concrete action.
  9. Heh, yeah .. I'm usually pretty upfront about it though, but there certainly is a truth to Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.. As to what happened... I wrote a pretty long story heh, but decided against posting it.. I wanted to have some alone time with a very cute bartender, she likes me and I like her - and last night was a great chance, but then my ex shows up and after that another girl I was flirting with who was very gropey. The bartender got pissed (the timing was impeccably bad on both accounts) and I ended up going home with the flirt instead. Thereby pretty much burning my bridge with the girl I actually wanted. Should have told the gropey girl to **** off, then. Stay focused on the objective! Amazingly, we've gone a month without a resignation at work. Well ok, one guy left to go to Germany (his wife got a posting there academically I believe) but that doesn't count. Maybe ?
  10. Come on, have guts enough to point fingers. Always hate when people say that thing - especially with your comment about being punched in the face, heh. Saying any kind of blowback is the PC brigade silencing you does happen though, as does this bizarre offensive-content hunting that some do.
  11. Okay, that first line is pretty funny from you. Seems it's about right/wrong a great deal as the other guy needs to fall in line, so to speak. I'm lucky I'm pretty dead emotionally, can't say any game has made me cry. Though Grim Fandango came close when I realized it was over in the credits and nothing was left to experience in the world.
  12. He had several strokes, apparently his right side was paralyzed.
  13. Yes, well Lenin doesn't have a Golden Throne, now does he ? So hah!
  14. Though his flesh may be scoured, His soul empowered by the faithful still watches over His people. And a bunch of zealous, well armed and trained supermen also helps with the will part.
  15. Needs more dubstep.
  16. "Oh, and the last thing was Olivia Gondek. It says I wanted to eat her **** and I have never said that in my life to her. I would never do that. I'm happily married. I've got more than enough to eat at home. Thank you very much."
  17. In this case though he wouldn't be encountering a challenge, just an affirmation of what he already thinks which is unnecessary for one that is secure in their stance on that thing. From his post, I get that was what he was trying to communicate anyway.
  18. Just as long as they're not trying to handle a dude with a stapler.
  19. Seems more like a cynical statement rather than a political statement to say they are doing it to stand out for attention.
  20. You are assuming he is even telling the truth. Seems like an alcoholic at least, to me.
  21. Ah crap Jack Keane 2 again.
  22. 50% off Dragon Commander, hmm
  23. Jack Keane 2 must really suck
  24. Funny how long it's taking for brave souls to take one for the team and buy Omerta TA for $1.50. Get it!
