Non-Gaming / Off-Topic / So any one else languishing at work today?

I'm working both (yep, you read it right, both) jobs today, 9am-4pm at one and 6:30pm-12:30am at Disneyland. Same schedule for tomorrow.
Oh yeah, I was also working an 8 hour shift yesterday on Triptophan day.

Gaming / Console / PC Gaming / Sid Meier's Pirates Impressions?

I wish I can zoom out of the sailing map more. The mouse scroll wheel does control zoom, despite the mouse not being the preferred interface. I haven't figured out what the keyboard shortcut it is, but the mouse wheel lets you pull pretty far back. Cool, thanks! Kinda gotten used to not using the mouse for ship sailing at all, so didn't play with the wheel at all. I should re-read the manual again and see what else I'm missing.

Gaming / Console / PC Gaming / Sid Meier's Pirates Impressions?

- I think there are a few quest bugs. Nothing I’ve encountered that’s a game breaker, but I’ve hunted and defeated the same baron who supposedly knows where my family is 4 times now. Each time I defeat him I get a new piece of the find my sister map. It’s weird though because the folks giving me the tips on his whereabouts act like I’ve never heard of him, even though I’ve sent him to the ocean floor 4 times. That happened to me too, I was told of a guy who knows the whereabouts of my sister and hunted him down, but before I ran into him, a barmaid told me that the same ship carries a lot of gold with in its hull, so I figured, cool, 2 birds with 1 stone. Found the ship, captured it, got the gold but never got the guy. Now everytime I go to a tavern, they keep saying that that guy's going to Havana and been on the ocean for 900+ days, lol. The game is awesome tho, loved it, was up till 4 am playing it and I had to be up for work by 6:30am. I wish I can zoom out of the sailing map more.

Non-Gaming / Off-Topic / Need book recommendations

A friend of mine turned me on to "Death Be Not Proud" so that's what I picked up today at borders. It's fairly short from the thickness standpoint so I might need a new one in a week or so.
Thanks for the recommendations so far.
I did read Ender's game, Ender's Shadow, Shadow of the Hegemon and Shadow Puppets, so those are off my list. Might try the Assassin's trilogy.

Non-Gaming / Off-Topic / Need book recommendations

Ok, so I'm craving for a "heavy" reading at the moment, for a book that can make me think and go "wow." Since GG was good for books/movie recommendations, I figure I'd start here at CG as well.
The last few books I read were (in chronological order): - Song of Ice and Fire series by George RR Martin - The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown - Ghost Rider by Neil Peart - Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom - The Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom - Angels and Demons by Dan Brown
Any book recommendations? Both non-fiction or fiction are ok.
Thanks!!

Non-Gaming / Off-Topic / Disneyland on the Cheap?

lildrgn, you have PM.
Right now, Disneyland park hours are 10am-8pm mon-thurs, 9am-11pm friday and sunday and 8am-12am on saturdays. California adventure park hours are 10am-6pm monday-thursday, 10am-8pm friday and 10am-9pm on saturday-sunday. Granted these are subject to change as the holidays get closer.
Holiday decors are up, haunted mansion is decorated to Nightmare Before Christmas theme and small world has its holiday decor up as well. Fireworks are on nightly (used to be on weekends only). The holiday lights are up and the christmas tree is there already. Space Mountain is still not open and won't be until next year, matterhorn is down until 11/24. The castle is already reopened (was scheduled to reopen on 11/25).
I went there last saturday and the lines weren't bad at all, longest line in Disneyland was around 15 minutes, we pretty much got through most of the rides in about 6 hours (2 adults pacing). Sunday wasn't bad at all either but I didn't wait in any lines since I worked that night.
Hope this info helps. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Non-Gaming / Off-Topic / Eddie Izzard

Love Eddie Izzard, he's hilarious!
My favorite is his Flag routine. Watched it with my best friend a while back and her current bf's name is Steve, so the line "I was on the moon, with Steve" fits perfectly.

Non-Gaming / Off-Topic / Is this starting to feel like GG?

I'm just glad I saw the little blurb at bluesnews today or else I'm still lost without my daily dose of GG forums.
Glad I found this again, although I haven't really been posting much lately due to work, but that's another post, lol

Non-Gaming / Off-Topic / Found it!!

So this is where everyone went to. I was wondering what happened to GG.
While it's sad to see GG go poof, I respect Rich's decision and thank him for the site, without it I would've never have met a bunch of great people.
