Harumph.

Hey -- does anyone play Grand Theft Auto? I read there was a crack that shows explicit sex.

Grand Porn Auto.

Question to gamers, especially players of collectable card games: when the day comes--and that day always comes--when you realize you've got several hundred pieces of card stock that no longer have a valid place in your home, what do you do with them? Do you attempt to find them a worthy home? Do you toss them in the trash, trying hard not to think of all the money you spent on them?

Ive not played, but it does. And there's some crazy attachment to the controller that will vibrate once you come.

Also, you can beat up the hooker after and take your money back.

connie, my love, eBay. eBay, e Bay.

One way to unload it is to package it up into "likes" and sell it with a Buy It Now and Free Shipping.

That's evil. Wow.

Also, not really here.

what do you do with them?

Mine are in a box, well three boxes sitting by my comics. Some of the valuable ones I sold on eBay 'cause there's always somebody who needs something there.

But yeah, the majority = boxes.

I bought two computers with the proceeds of mine. Timing is everything, but the magic of eBay is that there's always someone out there who wants the stuff.

ETA: and I gave a bunch away to kids, but it was pretty picked over by then.

It's not really explicit. Though I haven't played much San Andreas, so they might have changed it in that. You just pick up a hooker in your car, drive to a secluded area, and then your car starts bouncing up and down. You can't really see anything. There might be a crack I haven't seen though. Your health goes up as you're doing the deed too.

There's a crack for Vice City that does, yeah. And we're playing San Andreas now, which is pretty damn explicit without the crack (well, there's crack, but the drug kind). In at least one cut scene so far, one of your homies is getting a blowjob while you chat. And there's a game where, after you seduce this woman, you get points for timing your thrusts to the music (via mouse click).

As usual, somehow the inclusion of sex is worse than the inclusion of major league killing. I mean, I have to kill about 20 gang-bangers just to go shopping for clothes in San Andreas.

We sold the rare ones on eBay. I then had to decide whether to go through the trouble of listing the rest on eBay or just giving them to my friend's kids, who were just getting into them. So the kids lucked out.

Why, God, WHY?!? Emboldened by my viewing of Return of the King tonight, I went out and ate at a new Irish pub that opened near me. That's ate, not drank. Clearly my ancestors fled from Ireland back in the 19th century in search of the much tastier English cuisine.

Some of the best food I've ever had was in Ireland. Granted, it wasn't actually Irish per se, but still. I turned up there right after Egypt, and the steak meal with a fried brie entree was a heavenly reintroduction to Western cooking.
