Puzzle quest.

This has been a lot more fun than I thought it would be. But I'll enjoy it ever so much more when I get to kick Renault's shiny asses off the podium this race 


docD

Check her pay stubs to make sure they weren't withholding on the paychecks. If everything adds up then Big Brother his money before he comes looking for you. I doubt that you can do much to the company about it though.

docD

Nothing again! I get to work on my backlog some more!

docD

+1 to Ascendent for a great trade.

Titan Quest expansion
Worms (maybe)

I've never played a worms game before so maybe this is a good time to learn.

docD

You guys know you can exchange settings and stuff w/ the team talk in the game, right?

This race is going to be very, very interesting... Monaco is a fucked up, tight track with short laps and really demanding on the cars... throw in the rain we've had off and on through the weekend and the prediction of more for the race... I have no idea how this is going to shake out!

Yes, I think why Team Toyota has been able to do consistantly well is becuase of building on each others results. But Monaco is going to be bad for us. Neither of us managed to get good feedback in our warmups.

docD

SELL BABY.  SELL!!!!

FIRST OVERALL PICK HERE WE COME.

GO KINGS GO.

gellar

If we hadn't picked up Burke we'd already have locked the number one pick. I feel a little sorry for letting Matty go especially when we kept some road apples (I'm looking at you Blake, Miller and Garon) but overall I think we got more than should have from our trades.

docD

Agreed.  Part of me was hoping they'd play Fukufuji all year.  I do think Miller is underrated this year though.  He was terrible the past few years, but this year I'd call him our 2nd best D-man behind Lubo.

gellar

I'd put Miller #3 after Lubo and Sopel. The other kings D men are terrible. Norstrom and Blake are too slow to defend with the new rules. I still have a lot of love for Norstrom he was a good defender that anchored the Kings for years but age and the strike have caught up to him. Kings are going to need to pick up a couple top D men this off season if they want any chance at being competitive next year.

docD

Dear lord my warm up runs were bad. I hope everyone else is having us much trouble as I am or I'll be lucky to finish 10 laps behind everyone else. I'm so screwed.

docD

I'm calling it now:  Ryan Smyth - LA King next year.  Unless someone wants to outbid maybe $5 mil per for the guy, I can guarantee the Kings will gun hard after him.

He'd look damn fine on a line with Kopitar and O'Sullivan.

gellar

I think a Kopitar, Smyth, Frolov would be better. O'Sullivan hasn't proved he's ready to play on the first line yet.

Look who took the pole and 2nd again? Toyota!!

I'm going to start brewing that hemlock tea for you

Nothing for me this week, more time to work on FFXII and Football Manager.

So I have a baby due in July, in prepartion for that I've been cleaning up our spare room to use as the nursery. Over the weekend a came across some older computer games. If anyone has interest in this stuff send me a PM I'm sure that we can work something out. I'm primarily looking to get rid of things so cash is prefered but I'll also consider trades. Paypal prefered.

Another win for Toyota! I'm pretty pleased with a fourth place. I made an error in setting my tires and when I pitted, I switched to intermediate tires. I'm still not quite sure what the best way is to set up tire changes, but I learned a lot. Looking forward to the next race and putting Toyota on the pole and winning again!

docD

I'm a little surprised, this is a lot more fun than I thought it would be. Is Kool Tools worth picking up?

docD

Crackdown
Maybe UFO if it gets good reviews.

docD

[Wayne romps home in 1st place at Bahrain!]

Where the hell did you pull that qualifying time from, Doc?

Toyota baby! Get used to it, you're going to see a Camry at the pole a lot!

docD

This ain't Nascar, son.

gellar

If we lose to him we have to kill ourselves, I think.

Indeed.

Not much of contest here take job #1. A 50 hour work week will grind you down to nothing very quickly. Look into breaking your lease so you can move closer.

Disgaea 2

docD

This is an easy one for me:

Fall From Heaven II (PC) Kael hasn't even finished it yet and it's better than anything else I've played all year.

docD

I'll be continuing on with Bully, Neverwinter Nights 2 and Ultimate Alliance. I lilkely won't have a lot of time this weekend but if I finish up one of them I'll start on Final Fantasy XII.

docD

I start talking smack about the Kings being really bad and then they show up and play a pretty good game last night. Kopitar is going to be a really great player and I think O'Sullivan may also be but he's not ready to play at the NHL level yet. Give him another year and I think he'll be ready. I agree with you Gellar, this year is going to be really painful, hopefully next year we can compete for one of the lower playoff spots.

docD

Um... Go Kings?

gellar

I feel your pain Geller. I'm a fan of the Kings also. Too bad they couldn't beat a 12 year old girls all star team. It's going to be a really long year.

docD

Thanks for all the information everyone. I bought my 360 at Costco so I if there is a problem I'll take it back to them. That said I think I will wait on the intercooler for now and see how hot it gets.

I could let DocD sublet Purge from me and he can tell you how to run Cat5 through the walls!  Huzzah for purge!  Huzzah for wired Live access

So what's the going rate to sublet him?  Actually that's what I've decided that I will probably do. I've done some wireing work at the house already so one more wire shouldn't be hard. I was just trying to take the lazy way out.

docD

Thanks for the offer Graham but after looking at my finances I'm going to have to wait for a while. When I want to use Live I'll just have to hook it up to my computer monitor for the time being.

docD

Oh, by the way, the cool kids have PS3 pre-orders, apparently, so you are tragically uncool.  Don't worry, though.  So am I.

Well we'll be back to being the cool kids when Sony only manages to ship 2 PS3s 

You don't have to pay $100 for the official adapter, you could always buy an opened box one off of Ebay for around $60 shipped.

Also any game wifi adapter (such as the linksys wireless g gaming adapter) should work on it, but the retail price of those also hovers around $100. (The wireless b one goes for a lot cheaper though.) Same deal though, check ebay and you should be able to pick one up for around $50 shipped. I haven't personally tired the wireless g adapter on my 360, but it worked fine on the PS2 (connects through the ethernet port) and doesn't require any drivers.

Just me personally, but I'd recommend the official 360 adapter. It connects right on the back of your 360, is small, doesn't require any drivers and doesn't need to be plugged into the wall. And at around $60 shipped, IMO, it's hard to go wrong with it.

As far as the intercooler, they're only $20 and I had been using one the entire time I had my 360, so I'd say yes it's a good investment as it helps cool down your 360 (just put your hand behind your 360 with it on and you'll see how good of a job it's doing) though there have been some very rare reports of people putting it on wrong and it burning up the connections, but if you follow the directions and put it on exactly as it says there shouldn't be any problems.

Thanks corruptrelic, my wife says I've maxed out my gaming budget but I'll take a look on ebay. Hopefully, I can convince her that $60 is acceptable.

I'm one of the cool kids now, I have an xbox 360! I hooked it up to my 42" TV but my wireless router is upstairs. So my first question is I really don't want to pay another $100 to get on Xbox live, can I use other network adapters? My other question is the sales person was pushing some external cooling unit. I know that the 360 tends to get hot and needs good ventalation but is it worth it to buy one of these coolers?

docD

BTW, I have some good insurance tips..  Insure vehicles as "Pleasure" and not driven to or from work, and it saves $$$$ and you can just say you are laid off or something. 
There are more tricks, but you'll have to buy my book to find those out.   

As someone who deals with auto insurers regularly I wouldn't do that. Insurers are happy to write your policy anyway you want it but if you have a major accident they will check to make sure that you are not driving to work in that vehicle. If you are they will deny your claim for false information. Morale of the story: Make sure you can prove what you are telling your insurance company.

Dude, don't forget to watch the trailer. We prinnies rock, Dude!

Can I  vote for Baulders Planescape? Ok I vote for Baldurs Gate 2 but I don't  think anyone should ever have to vote between to games as great as these.

I thought the same thing too Dback, I was pretty unhappy when I found out that I didn't.
