Same here. I still play games, but like if I can't sit down for 30 to 40 minutes max and get a COMPLETE experience in, I can't do it. So I've been playing Hearthstone and CS:GO. Play a game, go outside and take pictures.

The great thing with photography is that while it's still just digital bullshit that ultimately doesn't really mean that much, it is still infinitely more impressive to people than "I GOT THIS SWEET LOOT BRO".

drat it's good though. When you get the dual loving automatic shotguns in prison and make Nazi soup?
Go up to the top floor of the hideout, and find the old mattress on which you can select "nightmare" to play a mini-game of the original W3D.

I really liked it, makes you wonder how good Duke Nukem Forever could have been.

I also played Bioshock Infinite, which I hadn't played when it came out last year - excellent game, especially with the two Burial At Sea DLC episodes.

See, there's the rub. I've stopped giving a poo poo what other people think. I don't think achievements in video shames mean anything of course, but if I spend my 3 day weekend tweaking traffic patterns in Sim City 4 then that's my business. :spergin:

While we're giving suggestions, anyone who wants a good brainless shooter man game that isn't Call of Battlefield 8: Postmodern Warfare should try Serious Sam 3 BFE. It routinely goes on sale for $Sandwich and supports 16 player co-op.

Everyone kept going on and on about how poor the new Wolfenstein would be, I feel it at least vindicated itself this time around, and based on the ending, I'm assuming they are planning a follow-on.

Ok, I wasn't sure. I thought what they'd done was make you think BJ was going to be killed by the nuke, but then there's a stinger of the sound of a helicoptor toward the end of the credits, so took that as their opening to say he got out ok. I was playing through having chosen Fergus to survive, am now replaying with him being the one who dies to see how it affects things.

I love all the little bits of information in newspaper clippings etc if you poke around.

I drove a juke awhile back. I had fun and didn't think it was too bad of a car. The Nissan tech though told me that they weren't very reliable. Take that with a grain of salt.

Hah, that's how I bought it too, for $6 it can't be beat. Most fun I've had in an FPS since Battlefield 1942. I would also pay $6 for a Juke, maaaaaybe $7 if they gave me a cup of coffee with it.

The solution to this problem is: more, or less beer. Or, just use the international keyboard layout.

The wonderful ancient SAAB EPC (parts catalog) adds a homebrew VisualBasic startup program that tries to decide if you need an on screen keyboard, or not. Then blindly executes it, whether it exists, or not. :effort:

ProTip: Dell Business (Latitude) laptops come with goop shields built in.. and a 3 year no-fault spills-included warranty. Or, at least they did in 2011. From Dell Outlet.

Shunned is too strong, it's just they assume he'll be tagging along so I'm not the first person to be invited places. Thing is I knew this was starting and I distanced myself from him weeks ago but there was a massive drama bomb and I'm sort of being blamed for it since I brought him around to begin with.

Quite similar, I tried to integrate all my friends together and it worked for the most part. There's actually been some new friendships and a few couples that have formed out of it. I had these two friends who just had long term relationships end very badly. So I introduced them to my larger group because they had nobody else as their respective exe's ruined their old friendships.
Now, one of my good friends was seeing this girl he worked with, nothing serious and it ended quickly but she kept hanging around. The older of the two friends I brought in (early 40's) became fixated on her (she was only 22 or 23) but he never openly said anything. They were friends first, I guess he actually expected something to happen and when it didn't he went nuts. I was unaware any of it was happening, just that there was drama.
So it escalates, there's vandalism and protective orders and people have to take sides and it just getting really ugly. And it's all my fault for bringing this one dude in. He's been my friend since 1998 and now I have to make the decisions to kick him out of my life.


God drat it.

That Suburban of mine is out sick. I think the oil pump was dying - got an idiot light and the oil pressure was bouncing between not much, zero and normal. I figured that this meant I had a leak and the pickup was having trouble getting enough oil... nope. Dumped five quarts into it and then I checked the dipstick, which told Dipshit Zucchini that I had exactly twice as much oil as I was supposed to have. Drove it around a little more and still kept getting that poo poo with the oil gauge. Figured I'd deal with it for the weekend and bring it into the shop on Monda*clicketyclicketyclickety*

fffffffff:tizzy:ccckkkk.

So I clattered it half a mile to a friend's house. Called the shop while they were open today, gonna get it towed in after-hours in a little while so they can see if I need a rebuild a new car. (snip)
This happened Saturday night. Started it Sunday morning and it was still ticking. Started it again Monday evening to show it to the tow truck driver and it sounded like... uh, a tired old small block. Totally goddamn normal. So he just drove it up onto the ramp and I parked it at the shop as if nothing had happened. Three days in the shop and they tested every goddamn thing and said they scoped it (guessing that means sticking a camera in it or something) and drove it 44 miles and came up with exactly nothing wrong with it apart from too much oil.

What in the goddamn :psyduck: uunnnggggghhhh
