I'm not retarded.

 

They jury is still in deliberations about that.

 

(sorry, do not give anyone a straight line like that here)

[Cmdr. Cracken]

Lol. I've made some pretty stupid decisions in my life (to which you've all beard witness to) but not completley game breaking......... like some people around here...*stares at r15*

(I worked retail and fast food), and I'm not retarded.

Took the day off from work. Finally a 2 day weekend... on Wed./ Thurs... but still 2 whole days!

 

Dentist appointment this morning. Then came home and took a nap. Just trying to chill. Still have laundry to tackle. I'll have to start that after some dinner.

 

Spending the day tomorrow with the girlfriend (I'm still having trouble getting used to that idea... but there's really no denying it at this point...) and her kids. Probably going to see Megamind.

[Zargon]

FLYNN LIVES!

[Cmdr. Cracken]

@ed: you know as well as anyone here, screenshot or it didn't happen!

 

Grats though with the gf thing.

[Keyan Farlander]

Nothing new here - still working hard and miserably lonely...the ideal combination

[edlib]

It's a combo I know all too well.

 

Which is why, despite some reservations, I'm throwing myself wholesale into this new craziness...

 

I've kinda decided to "Stop Worrying, and Love the Bomb" so to speak.

[Keyan Farlander]

New monitor arrived last night. Works great, so that's taken care of. The battery in my laptop may be dying, though. I'm not sure I care about that, though, since I plug it in 99% of the time. Also, my left rear turn signal is out. Le sigh...

[Zargon]

it never ends.....

[edlib]

Cars, houses, computers: the universe's biggest monetary black holes.

 

Pop-operatic singer at work last night. Katherine Jenkins. Her voice was OK, the show was simple, and she was very easy on the eyes... but it was amazingly cheesy.

 

Mary Black today. Should be simple as well.

[Keyan Farlander]

Ed, I know you're into racing games. Do you play with a wheel and pedals or just the controller?

[K_Kinnison]

Kinda scared. I am up with my Lady celebrating her Birthday. Downtown La Crosse was having their holiday open houses. We went to a jewlery store to look at rings. FINALLY we found a ring I could afford and she likes, and it was on sale. She was practically dancing around knowing we found it. We also found a matching ring for myself.

 

Scary

Ed, I know you're into racing games. Do you play with a wheel and pedals or just the controller?

So far I've been using the standard controller.

 

I might buy a wheel at some point after I get GT5. But I imagine it will be like learning the games all over again.

 

Unfortunately, there's no universal console wheel... so I'd have to buy one for the XBox, and a different one for the PS3.

 

I'm buying most of my racing titles for PS now. I figure that will be the system to get the wheel if I have to choose. A lot more choices. There's only a couple of decent ones for the XBox. And they are all expensive.

 

Why do you ask? Thinking about getting into it?

[Keyan Farlander]

Not really. I used to enjoy racing games, but none of the recent ones I've tried has really done it for me. It seemed like it might be a funny party thing, though, if you had a couple wheel and pedals setups. Eh, maybe I'll check out Rock Band 3, though.

[edlib]

Have you seen the latest Rock Band controller?

 

(This BBCode requires its accompanying plugin to work properly.)

[Cmdr. Cracken]

Thats pretty awesome.... but I could just open my guitar cases......

[Keyan Farlander]

Have you seen the latest Rock Band controller?

 

Yeah, that's kind of why I was interested. The Pro Mode guitar and keyboard. I certainly wouldn't buy it without the Squire. On the other hand, I could just...play those things for real. It's going to depend on how fun the experience actually is and who else I know who might be up for playing.

[edlib]

It seems like a good way to force me to practice, and learn some songs using a weird tablature program.

 

It would be cool if they came up with a "Super Advanced" mode for trained musicians, and had the sheet music scroll by for each instrument. That would make you a killer sight reader in a hurry.

[Kuuki]

Thats pretty awesome.... but I could just open my guitar cases......

 

yeah but it would be a little easier on someone like me

[edlib]

Just got notification that the XBox repair is complete!

 

We'll see how long it takes to get shipped back.

 

Work last night was pretty easy.

 

I have a day off... but no plans for a change. The lady is fighting a cold and exhaustion, so all plans are postponed.

 

So I'll finish the laundry, do some shopping, some housework, and catch up on some rest... though not necessarily in that order.

This is a must-watch...I've never seen a Star Wars mash-up done from the Rebel POV that didn't include the main heroes (Luke, Han, Leia, et al) until now, and the video is very well done, besides.

But Luke Liea,and Chewie were in it.

 

Nice editing tho, didn't have the "Standby Ion control" lady
