edlib Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Congrats. A year without a Patriots playoff team... hmmm... Oh well: I can console myself that with the next post, we will have finally caught up with last year's thread... with whole days to spare. Everything else at this point is just gravy. Though: if we all post at the rate that has been happening, we might move a significant way towards 3K in the time remaining in '08. So: Title for the next one? Any thoughts?

Kuuki Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 That rhymed. Though I am a bit disturbed the the only animal mentioned in relation to making jerky is your dog. It leads the mind down uncomfortable paths... venison jerky :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K_Kinnison Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 He has a favorite toy.. a small mouse like thing with a rattle inside. It started with him bringing it into bed.. then I would toss it out of the bedroom to the hallway with linoleum floor, so it slides easily and the cat can play apit of soccar with the toy. after he is done "playing soccar" he will pick it up, and sometimes bring it back to where i am. makes it easier to play with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edlib Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I just dropped a week's pay at IKEA. Ouch. But now I have all the makings of a tile floor. Now I just have to install it... They didn't have the color I wanted... but when I learned they were discontinuing the line, and weren't going to get any of the other colors in, I bought up pretty much everything they had. I guess I'll just have to try to make white work in the cellar. It will definitely brighten up that room. (But be a bitch to keep clean...) Got a driving ticket on the way home. I started over a bit early to get off at my exit, and got cited for driving in the breakdown lane. Technically: I was... but... The guy in the truck ahead of me started, and I just fell in behind him. We both got pulled over. We were not alone: By the time I got my license, registration, and ticket back, there were at least 10 other cars lined up behind us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K_Kinnison Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I got a stupid Malware program I am having a hard time getting rid of. WHat happens is there is a Bogus alert from my microsoft secuirty center, and the only way i can remove this silly "Trojan" is to download and use "Perfect defender 2009" *grumble* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Nice of them to install a program, then blackmail you into using the solution. (Which is probably just as bogus, and infectious. Played a little CoD:WaW co-op. I thought I was doing really well at it tonight... but my friend cleaned up on the points. I don't get the scoring method on this game... but oh well... I just want to finish the campaign co-op. I'm not concerned about racking points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 ah, glad you like it. had to turn my copy in, otherwise i'd be up for some co-op tomorrow. instead, i'll be on Fable II...probably all day...i'm starting to invest in houses. it is so damn hard to be evil in this one. in Fable and Fable TLC, the npcs other than the quest ones, did not have names. in Fable II, EVERYBODY-including the town guards, have names, and not only that, but you can GIVE THEM NICKNAMES....so uh...say i end up one day renaming everyone in a town to those coworkers and customers that annoy me at work...sacrificing people to the shadows.... but, it's hard trying to get people to HATE you, cause in order to do that...

edlib Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Well: WaW is my current co-op... GRAW is my current single-player game. When my buddy isn't online, I just fire up GRAW and try to make a bit more progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird day overall....this morning i wake up, look at my clock, now normally it's like 30 minutes ahead...well it said '12:30' so i'm liek '****!!!' gotta get ready for work at 1pm! so i got ready and well...it was only 10am real time. lol anyway, i get into work at 1...REJECTED TOO EARLY....i was like 'WTF!!!!!111111' anyway got punched in anyway...stupid home office hours...

Cmdr. Cracken Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 What the hell?! Isn't there supposed to be some kind of economic downturn? If there is, I would like to counter with the level of business that I've seen in the past TWO DAYS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Hmmm... consumer confidence... Yeah: IKEA was HOPPING today! Lines were huge... and people were buying tons of ****! I, myself, put over 800 bucks into the economy today. (Over 900, if you include the moving violation... ) Granted: That was money I have been saving for well over a year for this very purpose... but still... I'm not entirely sure if this economic crisis isn't somewhat overstated and exaggerated. It's difficult to see from ground-level, anyways...

Cmdr. Cracken Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I know, alot of people came in today looking for a deal, some kinda of uber sale, but of course we don't have them. So they just buy whatever. Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 i'm blaming the gas companies for it. i like my gas at under $2 a gallon thankyouverymuch.... think the main people bitching about the "economy" is those that invested in oil and gas and such. well they can go **** themselves, i don't ever want to pay $3+ a gallon again.

Rogue15 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 oh yes, one other thing i keep meaning to say on here...someone else claimed the job for the manager position of electronics...so looks like i won't be getting a promotion any...time...soon. This means I'll still be keeping my eye out for employment elsewhere...at least i get paid a fair amount of money (for the area) where i am working, so i won't do anything to **** that up. It's just the annoying hours being cut so i'm kinda forced to get screwed over by having to be in my department 5 hours by myself, piss off the customers when i have to take my hour lunch and nobody's around to cover for it. the film processor is definitely on the way out the door...we process less than 30 rolls a day, and we rent the damn thing. so once that goes, people are gonna have their hours ****ed with some more or transferred to another area with less pay. i could work the system too, do some research online and find out what areas have the best pay and stuff...and then move? i just don't know what i want to do.

Keyan Farlander Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Well, I played through The Force Unleashed. It was...not great. Graphics, art, and sound were all good. The story, cutscenes, and voice acting were great. But the game was just...not that fun to play. You have ten levels to go through hacking up enemies. It's pretty easy. There are different combos, costumes, and lightsabers, but none of that really does anything, so...yeah. Your Force Powers are fun for about five minutes, then you get bored of shocking people with lightning and tossing stormtroopers around. The saber combat is totally lame. The movement feels stiff and unresponsive. Honestly, I thought the Force powers and lightsaber combat were all much better done in Jedi Outcast, and that game is what, 7 years old now? I'd say just YouTube the cutscenes and don't bother with the actual game. I have yet to try it on the higher difficulty levels, though, so perhaps that forces some strategy and makes for a more fun experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
