[QUOTE="ExoticAnimal"]Its snowing here too. :DChiliDragon

Yes we do. lol Honestly, I've never seen how people can be so terrible at driving here than anywhere else I have been. Drivers drive slow in the left lane and drive an average speed of 85 in the right lane. It's a good thing that my apartment is only minutes from campus so no need to drive but that still wouldn't be possible because my car got stolen.

You have me confused with someone else. I go to school in Cincinnait, Ohio. I love the snow but we don't get as much snow as we do back home.

[QUOTE="ChiliDragon"][QUOTE="ExoticAnimal"]Its snowing here too. :Drragnaar

[QUOTE="rragnaar"][QUOTE="ChiliDragon"] Do you have crazy "I'm deluded about my driving skills in snow and believe my car will always bail me out anyway"-drivers as well? I hate them :evil:ChiliDragon

Wow, thats crazy. I remember driving home a few years ago and it was about 3 am in the morning and the highway was just covered with ice. I drove like 45-50 mph but I still managed to lose control of my car and did a 360 going into multiple lanes and trying to regain control of the car and eventually sliding into a ditch. Thankfully no one was even driving on the highway near me at the time. I wasn't hurt at all and there was no damage to the car except for all the mud that was built up trying to get out of a muddy ditch. :P

Ah yes, the stupid truck drivers who think 4-wheel drive means you can't lose traction in snow :roll: (Pssst... throw some heavy sandbags in the trunk of the car, it helps the rear wheels grip and stabilizes the whole thing ;) )

One of my co-workers was hit by a big reckless truck driver when the first snow came last week, a female d-bag who was driving 60mph on the interstate coming into town in the lovely snow and ice and strong winds weather in the morning. The trick out of control and did a couple of 360s across all lanes, ended up facing the wrong way, and then spun into front passenger side of my co-workers much smaller car. My co-worker was thankfully paying attention and had slowed down considerably, and was planning to try and get around the truck once it stopped spinning, so the hit was more of a glancing blow than a full on collision. Thankfully... but it baffles me that someone would try to drive that fast on roads like these.ChiliDragon

Thankfully I've got plenty of weight in the back of my car. It is still full of boxes from when I moved out of my old place in September.:P That sounds like your co-worker is pretty lucky. I'm glad that I don't ever have to drive on the connector or the freeway this time of year. The worst that will happen to me on Chinden is a smashed bumper and some whiplash.

My best friend has been driving me nuts today. He's a teacher, so he didn't go to work and he's been texting me about how great the new Battlefield maps are. I just want today to end.:evil:

I'll never understand that... I had never heard of work places or schools closing because of snow until I moved here. It's weird.ChiliDragon

Oh snap, my gamercard finally updated. Hopefully its fixed for good.F1Lengend

Nice... yeah, it looks like it is working.

I like my current sig too much to change it back to the gamercard, plus I got way too many random invites from people back when I had my PSN out in the open. Everyone things I'm their long lost friend named Ragnar.:P I suppose that is my fault for not realizing it is a common name elsewhere in the world. I just wanted to sound like a viking badass.

Wow. I'm going to be forever studying it seems like. I must make no less than a 98.5 on my final paper in one of my classes in order to keep an A+ in my special topics education class. Then I have to make at least a 95 on my final paper to make an A in my English class. And I have to make at least a 96 on my cal exam to make an A in that class. :cry: On the bright side I got my credit for my tennis class and I made an A in my Chem lab course :D

But still I never studied in high school except for my AP courses. College is just a different thing entirely though.

Oh snap, my gamercard finally updated. Hopefully its fixed for good.F1Lengend

Yeah I had one from the same site and it kept showing up 0 for everything. I like the one I have now because it shows my most recent games played which is pretty cool but the backgrounds have to be changed manually for each game and they only have the big time releases. One thing I find funny is that one of their backgrounds is a Gears of War background haha

I could imagine as a mod you would get very rude messages as well.

My PSP has been getting a lot of action recently. After killing everything in sight in Ghost of Sparta (awesome game) and restoring peace to the world in Lunar: Silver Star Harmony (likewise awesome) I'm finally facing Chaos in Dissidia Final Fantasy. And I can't beat him. I just can't. Has anyone else got to this point? I expect him to be very hard being the final boss and all but I don't expect him to be very hard three times in a bloody row. Screen filling special attacks! A small stage that leaves almost no room to dodge! Lose against one of his forms and you're right back to the beginning!

I wish I knew what goes through developers' minds when they design encounters like this. Do they think I'll thank them for the challenge? Do they think I'll realise that beyond hardship lies a greater sense of accomplishment? If so then I'm going to have to disappoint Dissidia's creators because all I feel is the urge to take my PSP and bash their wretched skulls in.

Wow...

His most notable raid was probably the raid upon Paris in 845 AD, which was spared from burning only by the payment of 7,000lbs of silver asdanegeldbyCharles the Bald. To court his second wife, the Swedish princess Thora, Ragnar traveled to Sweden and quelled an infestation of venomous snakes, famously wearing the hairy breeches whereby he gained his nickname. He continued the series of successful raids against France throughout the mid 9th century, and fought numerous civil wars in Denmark, until his luck ran out at last in Britain. After being shipwrecked on the English coast during a freak storm, he was captured byAngliankingÆlla of Northumbriaand put to death in an infamous manner by being thrown into a pit of vipers.

I feel that the word epic is perhaps overused these days, but that dude is epic!:P

I've noticed that a few of the mods have youtube gaming channels. My question is what do you use to capture the video and sound? I've always been interested in making a gaming channel but lack the knowledge.

I can't afford a good capture card or a computer to put it in.:P

Have you recorded Demon's Souls yet? I haven't played the game in a good while but would like to watch some videos to see what I could improve upon for the NG+.

Hey common, take a look at your pm. I need help with something.

Well that 2 hour power outage because of rain and wind was fun.... Why did it have to be 64 degrees? It could have been a blizzard!

I would be playing DS except for the fact that I just bought like 6 brand new games in less than a month.

[QUOTE="Allicrombie"][QUOTE="rragnaar"] I've only been harassed via PSN once as a result of being a moderator. I used to get some hate messages right when Bad Company 2 came out, but I think that was just because I'd already had 80 hours in the beta and 50 in the demo when the game launched and had an advantage.

If you want to get into specifics, then I got it from down my street. :P

Actually, I got it from Chipotle but I'm not sure if you have it out west.

There was a point during my freshman year of college where I couldn't go a week without eating Chipotle.

Have you heard about Steve Johnson's tweet? He's the Bills WR who dropped the would be GWing catch in OT against the Steelers. He tweeted something like "I praise you 24/7, and this how u repay me god?..." That's not all of it, but thats all I can remember. Watch last night's Colbert Report if you want details:P

[QUOTE="Allicrombie"] I think I have a lot of social issues. Plus I have no immune system so if I catch something like a cold somewhere, it usually means a week long hospital stay. Dracula68

Confessions of a mod's life....

hmmm...

Anyways, I just got Borderlands GOTY from Amazon for 29.99 for PS3. Anyone want to play?

commonfate

I thought anyone could co-op, isn't it on the same website?

Rag you have an astounding number of games. How do you eat?

I wish I knew what goes through developers' minds when they design encounters like this. Business_Fun

I've come to this realization - Developers know how to write code for a game, but they have forgotten how to game.:lol:

It's patently obvious when you run a side-quest in a RPG, and you get zero XPs upon completion.:lol:

Free map packs are never a bad deal at all.
