edlib Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 It wasn't me... I was at work. I haven't touched the games for over a week now. It was the GF's son. He loves the shooting games. Big 9/11 tribute/ memorial concert tonight. We had a giant rehearsal last night. It's going to be a tough one to pull off easily. The GF is still in Florida. Coming home tomorrow. She didn't take the job offer. So she's staying over with my dad and stepmom tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edlib Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Show went OK... but I made a rookie mistake and botched the recording... BAD! I was playing with a chorus effect on the strings yesterday to try to smooth them out and thicken them up. Decided not to use it and shut it off to the house mix. FORGOT at that point to ALSO shut it off going to the recording mix. Everything sounds like it's being played off a warped record on a turntable with a slipping belt. It's rough... Of course... I had to be a total idiot on the night 3 TV crews were here taking feeds off the recording mix. Yes: I'm a schmuck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdr. Cracken Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 So she's staying over with my dad and stepmom tonight. DANGER WILL ROBINSON, DANGER~! hahahaha. First day as an intern was just learning how their filing and data entry systems work. Watched one of the other Admins do a bunch of filing and serving of affidavits from complainants.

Keyan Farlander Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Hm. Well, that's a step in the right direction. It seems Chris Roberts is working on a new Wing Commander game too. This could all spell a return to X-Wing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildstar Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Well, I got the complete Star Wars BD set today, and I can confirm that they play in my new Magnavox combo player. They had a sweet deal on it @ Best Buy today, too: $50 off the list price, and I got the "Own Every Moment" t-shirt free. Because I had a couple of gift cards I could put toward the set, it only cost me $50 out of my pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K_Kinnison Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 KotOR is for $5 via Steam FTW. The fact I actaully got an up to date computer means i can actually play some of these games now that I wasn't able to before at Bargin prices Had fun playing Portal 2, but invariably my Wife decided to start bugging me when I got to the boss fiight. My biggest problem with it was FINDING the cores, and the Button. I had the hardest time figuring out where they were when going through it cold. Weasly: NO, DON'T PUSH THE BUTTON GlaDOS: PUSH THE BUTTON! Me: WHERE THE #%$@! IS THE BUTTON?! Now I need to find someone to play portal co-op with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdr. Cracken Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Day 3 of the internship went pretty well. I'm really acclamating well to working in an office. I really really REALLY like it. Want Diablo III so bad..... ERGH. K: Portal 2 was amazing. Portal 1 is free until Sept. 20 I believe, so if you haven't, go pick it up off Steam.

edlib Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Work starts back up into full-on insanity mode starting tomorrow morning. At 6:30. A.M. Yeah. From that point on, it's a couple of weeks until my next few days off together. Blah. Trying to relax as much as possible today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyan Farlander Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I think I'm going to try to start running again tomorrow. Foot problems stopped me before, but I went out and got measured for some fancy new shoes and custom inserts and all this crap, so I'm ready to give it another try. Plus, I've got my mp3 player loaded up with the soundtrack to Rocky IV, so how could I not be ready? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildstar Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 There was one more thing I wanted to try with my new TV...using a PC (particularly my netbook) as an input. A combo cable (VGA + 3.5mm audio) arrived in the mail Saturday, but I didn't get a chance to try it out until last night. The final test was running a YouTube music video in full-screen mode with my netbook attached to my TV as a second monitor...looked pretty good. Now I can also watch stuff like PBA.com's Xtra Frame subscription service and USBC events on their UStream.TV feed on my new TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Anybody else getting Gears 3 tomorrow? The guy I played the first 2 with in co-op let his Live! subscription expire, and doesn't think he'll actually even get it... something about having a new baby,.. lots of bills and no time... or whatever.

Keyan Farlander Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Could never get into Gears of War. That cover system bothered me, and the third-person view seemed awkward and disorienting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K_Kinnison Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Woke up this morning with my wife wanting to cuddle. Turned out she wanted more then cuddling. Not a bad way to wake up. Had a job interview later, got the job. After doing the "agility test" and drug test, I will be working for ACE Hardware at their Distribution Center. Nice thing is that they compensate Employees for being more productive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyan Farlander Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Yes...yes, I definitely hate running. Sat in traffic for an extra half hour this morning due to idiots causing huge accidents. This is not a good start to the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyan Farlander Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I am always torn between getting enough sleep and staying up longer to enjoy my life for a couple of hours. If only there were two more hours in a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I hear that... only with me it's always a matter of getting up earlier and doing things in the morning before work, vs. being rested. When you work to 11:30-ish every night, then are faced with an hour commute home, going to bed early isn't much of an option anymore. But do I want to lose a couple of extra hours sleep in order to get up and do stuff? Occasionally I do... but I then always pay for it later. By the end of the week, that lost sleep adds up, and when I do get a full day off, I'm usually too exhausted to actually enjoy it much. Blah.

Keyan Farlander Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Do you live that far away from work or is traffic that bad that late at night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I ride the subway... and a one-way trip takes 40 minutes on a perfect day, an hour on the average day, and who knows how long (2 and a half hours isn't unheard of...) on a bad day. Driving in on a perfect day takes about 20... but at rush hours it's at least an hour 15... Sometimes much longer... and then parking is nearly impossible. There's never any street parking, and if there is, it's a quarter for 12 minutes, with a 2 hour limit before you need to move, and the meters are in effect until 8 pm. The nearest parking garage is at least $30 to park there for a day. Sometimes more... and it fills up on days of Sox home games. I usually only drive in on Sundays, really early mornings before the trains are going, or on nights when I'm going to get through after the trains stop. But none of the options are great ones. They all kind of suck... but then it's nicer and cheaper to live outside the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
