Wow, me too. Loved it back in the day.

Discovery was an absolutely fantastic album - my mind was blown when a flatmate put it on one day, and the rest was history... Disappointed with what followed, though (Tron: Legacy being an exception - different animal altogether), as even their last - and biggest! - hit was not the same kind of mus...

I was in the general vicinity (not by choice). There were a whole lotta cops on the highway. Locals talking nonchalantly about some dude who got shot this year trying to get in.

OMG PieceMaker

Still amazes me how much traffic this forum had. I'm active in a site that was the climbing world's Q3W equivalent back in the day, and you just don't get that vibe anymore.

Absolutely nuts. That, and the fraud they committed upon Sega.

Missed it by one day. The humanity...

She about your age megami? A couple of years older perhaps :) Nice too you're happy she has escaped :) I trust you'll score another suitable mentor/supervisor. My last and final supervisor was a bastard! Re: What is new in my little world: Besides the ISP/ADSL saga that should be rectified tomorrow...

My mentor and supervisor at work for the last five years announced yesterday that she is leaving and going off to travel the world for the next six months "before it's too late" (she's in her late thirties). I was pretty shocked... it's going to be a tough change in my little world but I'm...

Computer City... CompUSA... both gone now, but brings back good memories.

I remember my very first time playing Quake 2, in software mode no less, but that first level blew my mind.

This however is masturbatory.

Could not have said it better.

Getting back on topic...

I bought AppleDesign: The work of the Apple Industrial Design Group in 1999, and it was a very interesting read as well as visual record.

In contrast to this... the price is ridiculous and I don't even see any words on the pages.

In 2011, Lt. Jack Revelle, the bomb disposal expert responsible for disarming the device, said “As far as I’m concerned we came damn close to having a Bay of North Carolina. The nuclear explosion would have completely changed the Eastern seaboard if it had gone off.” He also said the size of each b...

That is so fucked.

Scariest shit since 9/11. Haven't gotten that same urge to get on the phone, emailz, Q3W to check in on people until now...

Why does every 4chan poster appear to be completely unable to grasp the concepts of punctuation, paragraphing or even writing full, coherent sentences? Most posts appear to be endless ramblings about some completely intangible contextless subject. The medium is the message. Speaking precisely would...

It's insane how deep and twisted this control has been. Among the numerous revelations, I personally found this the most pathetic: Park Geun-hye gave Choi a sizable budget to purchase the presidential wardrobe, and Choi embezzled most of it. Instead of purchasing the clothes that befitted a head of ...

QWFix A-Team reunion imminent. You heard it here first...

Two episodes in and I'm loving it. It's refreshing that they're taking things nice and slow.

Lawd have fucking murrcy.

My SO spent three months on a dig in Cusco and ended up getting giardia from an ice cube. Great way to lose 30 pounds...

I've also driven the Great Ocean Road and seen the Apostles formations. Just as impressive to me as the cliffs and seastacks were the pastel water colors - unlike anything I'd seen elsewhere in Australia and possibly anywhere. There was an uncomfortable number of tourists at the main lookout but el...

Planning some holidays :D Local Holiday : We dropped in to our local motoring club to pick up some free road maps yesterday. Yes, some freebies still exist. We are planning a driving holiday down south over two weeks this July (our winter in Australia). We just love the cold. Google maps say it is ...

Wow, I can hardly believe this is officially happening. So many great memories from the SS series... looks like they've created a great atmosphere, almost like a Marathon remake as well.

If SS3 goes along the same path I'm cautiously optimistic.
