    chapter 3.

    in which DUE teaches the first person who broke up with him how to handle a break-up.

    Sex with an ex, right?

    I didn't like it. I like the idea of it, but it seemed lacking in some pretty important areas.

    no. actually.

    just a real long awkward talk.

    the one you would have gone in the past to give yourself.

    It still feels very GTA. That's my main complaint.

    I suppose, although I haven't liked a GTA game since 3.

    The google advertisement that popped up on that video was for 'Dating Asian Girls', idateasia.com.

    Not sure what that's about.

    Say, coke, how often do they dub English version games with HUGE amounts of spoken dialog like LA Noire? As I understand it, console gaming is on the decline in Japan so would something like the Japanese releases of Deus Ex: HR or Mass Effect get a full dub?

    Indeed. You finished with your PhD yet?

    And did you back a horse in the primary? I, for one, was elected a delegate to the Republican Legislative District convention.

    I probably won't go, but I would back Santorum if I did.

    Hey, Thanatos, have you considered trying Goozex to trade your ME3?

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    the "no true scotch man" fallacy.

    I'm just gonna return it to Amazon, pay the $5, and wait the two weeks, Feral.

    If someone I knew here had been willing to do it, I would have, but I'm not gonna risk it without at least a tenuous social link.

    Still so fucking pissed at myself over that.

    Hm... good question. I think it's more common to just sub everything, but I didn't buy many games while in Japan, and you can't rent them.

    And when I was running by the lake, I woke up a gaggle of geese. Not pretty.

    What are they doing at night in the park?
    DUCKS! DUCKS! (quack-quack. quack-quack.)
    Think of them waddling about in the dark!
    DUCKS! DUCKS! (quack-quack. quack-quack.)

    Clearly what they are doing is being woken up by Elki.

    To continue growing, LA needs water. To get it, movers and shakers in the city are swindling and intimidating farmers in the nearby valleys out of their water rights with the eventual aim of constructing a huge reservoir dam. To earn public support for the dam, they are faking a drought, secretly dumping thousands of gallons of fresh drinkable water into the sea every night while telling people to cut back on their usage and asking everyone to vote yes on a bond issue to raise millions of dollars for the city to build the dam and buy the land it will be situated on.

    The water isn't actually that needed, though. What the rich dudes are actually doing is secretly buying up cheap land in the desert with the idea of then building the dam and using some of the water to irrigate that cheap land, turning it into farming land that they can sell for a huge profit.

    The city water commissioner opposes the dam. It's not needed and it's going to be built in a stupid place that will make it liable to collapse.

    To shut him up, the villains hire a private detective to unwittingly help them frame the guy for infidelity. That way, when he turns up dead from drowning, it will seem like suicide instead of murder.

    pretty much everything except the last paragraph really happened

    I actually watched a little more than half of chinatown a couple of weeks ago as I need to see some 70s noir for my class (writing a comparative paper)

    perfect choice, jacob :D

    I ordered the 360 version instead of the PC version by accident.

    So, while I returned it and ordered a PC replacement, and I'm still gonna get my pre-order bonuses, I am gonna have to wait two fucking weeks before I get it.

    Yep. The growth of L.A. is rife with stories of corruption. It's perhaps why film noirs are usually set in L.A. It's dark and corrupt but with a shiny coat of elegant glitz.
