I generally drink very heavily once a week and that's it. Maybe once every two weeks depending on cash monies. I night out generally runs me about 50 euro between drinks, club, bad food and a taxi home.

Yep, Warhammer is still a cheaper hobby.

I have grown to really like the taste of good real ale. Wine is ok, and I love champagne (or cava, because fuck if I'm paying for the name champagne), but good beer is delicious.

I could cut that down to 8 euro and still get the same level of drunk, it'd just be an awful night in a shithole. I like going somewhere where I have to wear a shirt.

Anyone got a sturdy chair, some rope and a length of rubber hose?

A "millionaire playboy" who killed two British tourists in Florida when his $150,000 Porsche jumped the curb will not go to jail, despite the fact that he fled the scene and lied to police officers about who was behind the wheel during the accident. Instead, he will pay cash restitution to the victims' family, settling a civil suit on the condition that he not go to prison. Ryan LeVin, who did not offer an apology to the victims during sentencing, is on parole in Illinois, where he has a record of over 50 traffic violations, including striking a police officer with his car and left the scene. His lawyer has asked to have his Porsche returned.

There was a thing recently where a driver ploughed into a cyclist and killed him, fled the scene, didn't report it, and when arrested claimed that he had temporarily lost consciousness due to the "new car smell" in the vehicle.

He got a fine. I don't even think he was banned from driving.

Well, what's the fun in being rich if you can't kill people and get away with it?

The important thing about starting a class war is making sure the punishments to these people are going to be poetically just enough.

Most video games look the same. And frequently stupid. This looks neither.

Seriously.

Oh, LOTRO is still fun to me, but it's not nearly as interesting as it was when I just started playing.

It just desperately needs new places to discover. Because that's what I like about MMOs, basically. I just want to go to places you can't see in the movies and checking out what they're all about. And I'd like it to be easier to find groups and do group content. Spamming a user-made global chat channel hoping for others to do the instances you want to do is not ideal.

So, this is a pretty awesome story.

Guy I work with puts in an order to Jimmy Johns online. For name he uses "Tony Stark" and in the field where it asks for delivery instructions he puts "Please draw a picture of Batman on bag." When the delivery man delivers it, he is greet with "Good evening Mr. Stark."

And the bag?

Aldo: I dunno who that is, and googling doesn't seem to find him.

Nerd: Maybe. The game has potential to not be a total mess, which is probably the most glaring difference.

Homestuck is all over the place with its art. I can't find the dude's work, but he's done some stuff that looks a lot like Journey.

yeah but the boston convention center is way huge compared to the west one, I believe

so it's hard to directly compare demand. that being said it wouldn't surprise me if pax prime was more popular.
