When I was stationed in Alaska and still had my trusty old 2000 Cherokee I followed these rules to a T.

The funny part was, the people with SUV's were the ones who would drive like maniacs. I guess they thought 4WD was a magic charm that protected them from the forces of nature.

I was wearing a sombrero - its now hanging from the light fitting ;-)

For a modern game it was a bit more "old school" than I expected. I played it hoping to easily attain all the bonus missions and have my fleet survive as long as I was mindful. In reality if I wanted to complete all the objectives I had to replay missions many times and work at it. For me, switching over to the lower difficulty really brought out the best in the game. Trying to be perfect the first go around probably soured me on a game I would have been gaa-gaa over if I had started it on a difficulty level more along the lines of my expectations from the start.
LOL yes I've seen those people! "What, you're telling me that if I pull this lever / push this button I can't drive 60 MPH in whiteout icy snow covered conditions???" *flip*

Not even going to ask why you were sitting at the computer with a sombrero on top of your Viking helmet. ;)
It always gets messy when you try to do it perfectly from the start and get blasted a few times.
It's a good way to end up really frustrated, really quickly.
Adjusted expectations come into play, like you said.

This is getting really close - Tetrobot just went ahead!

I was about to say that this is why I don't gamble, since Medal of Honor fell behind, but now it's in the lead again.

That was fun. I was rooting for Tetrobot, but MoH won in the end. Daft or what?

600 copies of Terraria!?

I'm pretty sure the only people who don't own it by now are the natives of North Sentinel Island.

Eep!

Hi.

I can't speak. Its snowing. It took me 4 hours to get from work to home. A 20 minute commute.

The hill I take every day.... police blockade... black ice upill


eep

For a second, Tetrobot was ahead. It could've gone either way, given how close the two were.
Good evening. =)

Ready to grab some games? Round 3's already started for the older items.

Old stuff? Much like myself:)
\PIG, the Pixel years..."

I need a hug...

No surprise, snow happens in Ohio. It took me 6 hours to get home. its normally 20 minutes.

I can't feel my feet.

Back to your regular gaming....

There's no Pid to be found this time around. There is Return to Krondor, though.

I've played it twice...

I prefer black ice

ETA: no, no don't. I'm still shaking from the drive home. I was on a highway and there were no lanes. The hill that leads to my house? Police blockade. Other way up the hill to my home? Blocked.

So, me and my little 2001 Saturn made it up the hill, into the turn, and in my driveway.

And it's still frelling snowing. I have to get the car out again?

I hate winter...

Perhaps some Vampire the Masquerade: Redemption instead? It's....really....good....
Honest...
Okay, that sounds awful. And no sign that it's going to get any better, is there?

You're right.

But I almost died getting home from work and they haven't fucking cancelled classes tomorrow?

Sorry - I'm venting.

I should play Krondor again.
Rumor has it, Summer? Or Australia, I get confused:)
