What you did today
Further insight to my mom's cooking when I was tasting some tuna she had made for sandwiches. Asked me if it needed more pepper, I said nope, I can taste the fish. She took that as stating it needed more pepper as you "shouldn't taste the fish". At least it'll clear the sinuses. Another neat thing people watching today, coffee shops changing to a "winter" style of cup, usually white. But does make it easier to see how many people are walking around with coffee in their hands here (that and people seem to be doing so aimlessly).

Ran into an old lady that also owns a dachshund so we chatted for a bit, and took the dogs for a good walk. That lady's husband's getting really jerked around with by a hospital here - analysis on test results flip flops from 'Ok' to 'Uh...this is bad' then back to 'Ok', appointments that are 4 hours late, etc. It's one of the crappier hospitals in the city, in my opinion - St. Michael's. Also am more convinced that every cop in this city is a giant scumbag.

Piracy
Heh, funny that PCG mentions FADE/DEGRADE as if this is something new. Was funny in Arma II, at the start, you couldn't even do the training range apparently as it'd mess up your aim so badly. Still got broken, albeit in a rather lengthy Starforce-esque manner (which is the point I suppose), but is my favourite kind of DRM. And hey he did say - "It

EU criminalises claiming that drinking water stops dehydration
Haha, brilliant mistake. I can kind of understand the point of the ruling though.

Not using it would be better. Reduce comes before Recycle, well at least as much as I remember. I still use bottled water though, habits are hard to shake from back home, where the water's almost safe to shower with, heh.

Wannabe assassin claims to be Jesus
I dunno, the bit about the "Gangsta Olympics" was pretty funny. First prize is death ? Awesome.

SW: The Old Republic Part 2
It'd have to be a step up from WoW's. And a lot of the players will just jump to something new, if it holds them, great.

Had to laugh at our choice of Christmas party venue. A sushi place. This is chosen because the office manager's wife is coming, is Japanese, and they love sushi. Everyone else will love it as well. I guess I could hit the steak house beforehand. Now for a productive weekend of raking leaves (or shaking the tree to get it to drop its leaves, anyway).

SW: The Old Republic Part 2
Huh, you had to wait until the NDA lifted to share that ? Thanks, though, it does sound interesting. Decided that I'll get the game 2-3 months after release, better idea of how it is faring, etc. at that point.

Nothing is worth paying that price.. Cursed bandwidth cap.

What would you be eating?
Odd enough I dislike curry, and it's hugely popular back home, heh. Should try eating something fancier than rice and kidney beans twice a week, hm.

Rainbow 6 Patriots details Woo visceral combat, one button tactics. Enemies tripping as they run for cover is a neat touch though.

What are you playing now?
Friends decided to play some TA with Brutal AI. Luckily we defeated the AI with cunning and subtle tactics.

SW: The Old Republic
Are they actually uprgrading their system or is this just a reminder to change your password every X time units ? In any case, first negative reaction to it I've seen has been from Volourn, and he's not even on about the reset specifically

Tempted to play Skyrim, but never played a TES game, never like jumping into the middle of a series for some reason. But apparently the games aren't linked so it shouldn't be an issue, so maybe. Right now though, I have to punch through the list of half completed games I have - DD, HoMM 3, Arcanum, Ground Control.
