    What is/was your college major?

    I was computer science and I tried to tell all the dorks in my major that they should take as many liberal arts classes as possible because that's where the ladies were.

    Ready to get my first car! Any suggestions?

    You only need to learn stick if you buy a car with one. And I'd say since you're into looking to buy a sporty car a manual transmission is a great way to deliver on that. I loved driving stick. Last 10 years was on a 1994 Honda Accord. Never had any trouble with that car. The Accord was fun...

    NPH made "doing blow off a stripper's chest" ironic.

    Beef Jerkey

    My dad hunts and I sample a couple of batches per year of his homemade venison jerky. He likes his stuff very dry and it was actually comical how many peppercorns were stuck to each piece. I am sure that I would like it with half the pepper and a little more moisture, but it's a bittersweet...

    Ready to get my first car! Any suggestions?

    I like the fuel economy of the tC over the Mustang. And while I personally don't draw many conclusions from stereotypes, the v6 Mustang is (statistically speaking) a chick car with "nearly 55 percent of V-6 Mustangs being driven by females". Of course if your glass is half full, that same...

    Beef Jerkey

    The place I stop at is on IH-35 at exit 285 in Salado called Robertson's Choppin' Block. The store also sells a lot of beanie babies and chachkas, but I stay by the meat counter and order up a pound of mesquite jerky (don't like the hickory) and a Dr. Pepper. In fact if you are already on a...

    Beef Jerkey

    I love beef jerky, but it is definitely one of the most expensive snacks around (followed closely by macadamia nuts). In my experience you get what you pay for. That two pound megapack bargain bag you scored from Costco for $10 cannot hold a candle to the real thing. Hint: if your jerky comes...

    Why couldn't I "Connect to Xbox LIVE"?

    I received my repaired-from-rrod 360 from fedex on Wednesday and although it passed network tests and had an IP it wouldn't log in any live accounts. I gave up, but then a new game successfully connected to live to get updates. Props to the fedex guy who wrote his cell number on the "sorry we...

    I've think I've become an action game junkie because of time

    I am in the same boat as the other working grownups, except in our household my wife is the hardcore gamer: loves Morrowind, Oblivion, and other games I have no patience for. This weekend when my 360 rrod'd on me it turned out to be a gaming blessing. I fired up the old xbox for some a few...

    The Falcons Are In The Wild - But Rarer Than A Mewtwo! Gotta' Catch Them All!

    Today I dropped off my launch day 360 at UPS to be shipped for RROD repair. Was watching 30 rock xvid on the 360 when I got the three rings and it would never recover. Saturday I dropped off my Rock Band guitar at UPS also to be shipped for repair. On Friday a friend sweet talked nintendo into...

    Help with traffic ticket

    In Texas you may request a driver safety course to dismiss up to 1 ticket every 12 months. The instructions for that are written directly on the ticket; however, you must make the request in time. You will pay court costs plus the cost of the driving safety course (this was $120 + $40 a few...

    Netflix Shipping | For Wed: Superbad

    I just watched the last half of the movie and was happy that it didn't annoy me as much as the first half. So in all I'd say this movie is just okay; your basic morality tale of bros before hos.

    Netflix Shipping | For Wed: Superbad

    I let my friends overhype it. I made it about 30 minutes through before swapping out for a different movie. I went back later and pushed through another 20 minutes before turning it off. I will finish it eventually, but my expectations were definitely too high. I was expecting funny like...

    IGN Insider - Worth it?

    I've been leeching off my wife's ign insider account for a while now. Trailers are okay, but I prefer to download extended gameplay videos or behind the scenes stuff that is longer than the typical trailer. These videos are often in the 120MB - 600MB range, but the d/l from ign is pretty fast...

    Stranglehold - Gen. Discussion & Info

    It is very entertaining run-and-gun. If you like the Max Payne style slow-motion then this game is that on crack cocaine. I find that the second run through an area is more dramatic as I know which barrels to blow up, which rails to slide/climb, and which enemies to single out. For as involved...

    Purchased at 11am Sunday morning at BB in Austin, TX with the CC ad in hand for the PM. The CC where I got the ad had none.
