All done with the Den, except for the still quest - need to bump my lockpicking skills at next level so I can finish it. Off to Modoc and the vault villiage now.

Crap, didn't save version, guess I stuck with it- definatally gonna take melee at the next level up - in 900 xp...

Damn, should have taken melee weapon skills at that last level up, I think I'mm gonna go back a save, it'll serve me better in the near future as opposed to the small arms skill I took - won't get a decent gun for a while anyway...

Passed the Trial of Arroyo on the first try, a good omen I think. Only problem with the small frame perk is not being able to carry all the scorpion tails -an' de's chedda bling bling. Now, on to the pre-quest quests...

Fallout 2 - A Love/Hate Relationship

In the past 6 or 7 years I've started playing Fallout 2 like, a billion times; but for some reason eveytime I get finished with the second town it crashes for some reason. This time it's taken 2 hard drives and my sound card with it somehow.

I will beat this game, as Blog as my witness I will prevail!!!

So I shall now chronicle my quest to overcome this evily addictive game...

Fresh installation of Fallout 2 on a fresh installation of Win2K on a freshly fdisk'd hardrive. Patch applied- forgoing audio until I can pick up a new sound card, 10000 Spoons mashup "When Will I be Famous" playing on the PS/2 (my 'puter was my stereo until the sound card died). Gen'd my char - Agility 9 + small frame for Agil 10, Int 6, left the rest of the stats at 5, Finesse perk for better crit chance, tagged small guns, steal, and doctor - I'm gonna do a thieving sniper this time round. Ok, lets see how long it takes me to finish all the quests up to the end of the Den...

The First GYBO custom creation for DVD - Starcrash Gallery

I put out a call on GYBO for a custom piece for one of the DVDs thjat I'm making -Starcrash-, and JADMIX has created a kickass piece of Sci-Fi ambience. If it gets approved by the client it's going to accompany the photo gallery on the DVD.

TTC passengers face fare increase
Feb. 10, 2005. 06:44 AM

Adult cash fares will jump 25 cents and the price of tickets and tokens will rise by a dime starting March 6, the Toronto Transit Commission decided last night at a rancorous meeting where commissioners were accused of betraying the city's working poor. Kevin McGran reports. Bus fare hike

So now, it is cheaper to get a buspass if you only use it twice a day 5 days a week. That has to be a major intersection on some kind of economic index...

Neil Halelamien writes "A number of entrepreneurs in the nascent commercial space industry are establishing the Personal Spaceflight Federation, an industry group which will work with federal regulators to come up with standards to promote crew and passenger safety. The founders include both suborbital and orbital spaceflight entrepreneurs, such as Armadillo Aerospace's John Carmack, Scaled Composites's Burt Rutan, SpaceX's Elon Musk, and t/Space's Gary Hudson.

MSN Messenger in the morning can get weird...

OH NO! ZOMBIES! RUN!!! says:
Are you still working? Or did you leave alrady?
Back 2 Work Lech-я-Us™ says:
i'm still working
Back 2 Work Lech-я-Us™ says:
not making the mistake of leaving sans other job
Back 2 Work Lech-я-Us™ says:
who did you hear from?
Back 2 Work Lech-я-Us™ says:
that i was looking?
Back 2 Work Lech-я-Us™ says:
claire?
OH NO! ZOMBIES! RUN!!! says:
Yup. Why do you want to leave? I though you liked it there?
Back 2 Work Lech-я-Us™ says:
my department was sold
Back 2 Work Lech-я-Us™ says:
i was "acquired"
OH NO! ZOMBIES! RUN!!! says:
Ahhh, and the new masters use whips?
Back 2 Work Lech-я-Us™ says:
meh
OH NO! ZOMBIES! RUN!!! says:
They call you beyatches and don't share they 40's?
OH NO! ZOMBIES! RUN!!! says:
B.O.?
OH NO! ZOMBIES! RUN!!! says:
ARE THEY ZOMBIES!
Back 2 Work Lech-я-Us™ says:
they are
OH NO! ZOMBIES! RUN!!! says:
RUN!
OH NO! ZOMBIES! RUN!!! says:
Wait - Regular zombies or JuJU zombies? Cus' you can get rid of the latter with salt.
Back 2 Work Lech-я-Us™ says:
Romero zombies
OH NO! ZOMBIES! RUN!!! says:
... like in 21 days?
Back 2 Work Lech-я-Us™ says:
George Romero Zombies
OH NO! ZOMBIES! RUN!!! says:
Oh, NotLD type... Are those Science or Arcane Zombies, I'm never sure about that.
Back 2 Work Lech-я-Us™ says:
GRZs are slower, stupidder zombies. Jewish zombies really: "what? brains? yeah, sure I guess I could eat..."
OH NO! ZOMBIES! RUN!!! says:
Boy, you'd need a lot of Zombie Rabbis for that plague of zombies - 'cus they'd have to sanctify every single place that someone was going to be killed and eaten in, you know, so the living would be kosher.
Back 2 Work Lech-я-Us™ says:
too true
Back 2 Work Lech-я-Us™ says:
never boil a calf's brains in it's mother's milk
Back 2 Work Lech-я-Us™ says:
or in this case a living's brains
Back 2 Work Lech-я-Us™ says:
corollary: Never boil a living's brains in it's mother's brains
OH NO! ZOMBIES! RUN!!! says:
Another issue that would have to be delt with, are gentiles inherently non-kosher, and jews inherently kosher? Could a Jewmbie eat a Jew without the intervention of a Rabbi, while they would need a Jewmbie Rabbi for eating gentiles (or would a Living Rabbi be o.k.?).
Back 2 Work Lech-я-Us™ says:
you can't mix the living and the dead
OH NO! ZOMBIES! RUN!!! says:
True.
Back 2 Work Lech-я-Us™ says:
if you did, you'd have to bury the dead in the back yard for six months and then sanctify it
Back 2 Work Lech-я-Us™ says:
oh wait
OH NO! ZOMBIES! RUN!!! says:
How about eating a piece of leg with head cheese?
Back 2 Work Lech-я-Us™ says:
yeah that's ok, but you can't put the head cheese in an ice cream cone
