I just finished reading Choke a few days ago. I liked it. But I can see a lot of similarities between Choke and Fight Club and get the impression the author just likes writing about the same shit again and again.
It's just Shock Literature gone commercial...we're the demographic, so he'll always pepper his stories with anarchist characters and what not. It's probably for our cathartic release, maybe literary fix. I find it repetitive.
Diary and Choke were really good, but there isn't much too him after those books.

This is what I get from both Fight Club and Choke: Everyone's a fuckup and crazy but it's okay...do something really weird and your life will crash to zero and then you can start living again for real. "Fuckmuppetry" isn't the right word, but it's the first thing that comes to mind.
I need some good book suggestions. Right now I'm reading the entire Sherlock Holmes collection.
Also, is the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R. for $19.99 a good buy from Steam? I mean, the retail is 20 bucks as well, but is there any reason I shouldn't get the Steam version? Or the game at all? I heard it's good. Is it? Is it good?
Oh god, my arms. Is this what a good workout feels like? I don't like it. I don't think... nope, can't lift my arms above my head.
Yes. If its your first time, expect that kind of feeling to be common for the next 2-3 weeks of decent workout. After that, you don't get a terrible feeling so much as an awesome feeling. I'm not joking. Once you get used to working out, the sore goes away and is replaced by a sort of proud fatigue. You ripple with strength and feel strangely satisfied. Soreness is much much worse in leg workouts, in my opinion.
I need to get my ps3 online again. I had the wireless enabled on my router so my ps3 and wii could connect, and in three days someone had broken onto my network that used a random 20 digit wpa2 key.

I found it to be pretty lame.
It's fantastically shitty if you're a completist.
Oh god...why? I already purchased it. I swear to god, Thanatos, if this riles up my OCD, I'm taking it out on YOU for not being here to comment on this before I purchased it.

This is also true for drinking to excess. Now all I feel is a proud fatigue the next day. I haven't had a "hangover" in quite some time.

See, that's the thing, this isn't my first time working out. I've been really working out now for about three months now, and it's never been rewarding. I've been running, but I never feel anything from that. I've been lifting, but I never feel anything from that. I do core stuff, but I never feel anything from that. It's all just fatigue and soreness all the time. I had this problem with it a few years ago, too. It's just never rewarding for me.

So, there are these quests you get at the starting zone, and they take you out from the starting zone. The first few are nearby; the latter ones are really, really far out. In order to get credit for the quests, you have to complete them, then walk back to the starting zone; the problem is that all of the enemies in between respawn. So, you walk out, kill all the enemies, complete the quest, walk back, kill all the enemies, turn the quest in, then go out even further, having to kill all the enemies again.
This would be merely obnoxious, were it not for the fact that the quests are on a time limit, and nigh-impossible to complete in large batches without running out of time, meaning that you have to kill the same enemies many, many times, and end up spending most of your time walking through areas that you've already cleared out ten times before. Also, your inventory is fucking tiny, and it's really fucking hard to sell shit.

The first paragraph is why I stop playing it every time I try to start it up again. That and it requires a beast of a machine to run at a decent clip.
Battle Royal was one of the biggest pieces of shit I've ever seen. Ever.
You should be ashamed if you liked Battle Royal.
It's not as horrendously self-aware and unintentionally bad as Vs was, but yeah, it was pretty bad. I don't understand the fascination with gore flicks. They're just bad movies.

I'll send you the code when I get home, Drez.
I've heard some distressing things so far, but I am holding out hope.
Excellent, thanks. Depending on how long that is, I might have will been ablen to find my DualShock 3.
I refer to the verb tense in the underlined words above as "post-modern past particular".
But you should add me, Medopine. And I will also put you on my Wii.
We could be, but I am at work so I can't get you my code right now. Life is hard. Man, I need to pick up the new Bomberman Blast, too ...

Keep digging into your Wii. It's deep inside.
Hey Variable,
No.
- Raere
I read a lot more with it now.
I can check Gmail/Facebook from work with it - my job blocks those sites.
It's wonderful.
drez.
will you buy me a kindle?

You almost had me. But I'm like James Bond in these kinds of things.
you've got a license to not give your shit away for free I heard.

Hippie?
I added you by going to create a message and then address book
I thought the Battle Royale movie was fantastic.
If you didn't like Battle Royale, you are a bad racist Hitler communist scientologist person that should die.
Okay I will do this.
The first paragraph is why I stop playing it every time I try to start it up again. That and it requires a beast of a machine to run at a decent clip.
I'll PM it to you later tonight.
I'm trying to think of one thing that movie did right.
Apart from starring Go Go Yubari that is.
Oh neat, I didn't know that was there
