omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

weeeee! Or rather Wii!!! Had fun helping ND break in his MarioKart. We suck! But had fun, and that is what really counts.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

I was making considerable progress on GTA3, and then decided it was time to save the game and go on a massive killing spree.

Actually, I went on several, each ending with my death.

Very cathartic.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I finally played Zelda today and it is fun!

Our wings are not tired

Kristin was just playing Super Mario on the Wii, now she's back to GTA IV.

move out and draw fire

I'm theoretically working while mostly shoulder-surfing the DH play GTA4.

Have you guys heard the radio news about the (spoilery for plot, I believe) captain of the Platypus ?

Also just discovered that if you start working over a mime, LCPD will arrest you. Dicks.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

And yet, we confirmed that they don't care if you mow down dozens of peds like tenpins. What did the mimes do to get all these extra privileges?

Well they are certainly keeping quiet about something.

"I've got a gun! I've got a mother-flippin' gun!" - Moss, The IT Crowd

Oh god, ND, the puntacular brings me pain!

No, wait, that would be the headache I already had.

In GTA IV news, it is becoming clear to me that the one thing I accidentally spoiled myself for - the number of story missions - may have been wrong. It's becoming clear I have quite a few left to go.

The fact that I don't know if I'm 60 or 90 percent of the way through the story? Makes me very happy.

In other GTA news, I just had the mission which was the bank robbery. The running gun battle with assault rifles versus hordes of police had to have been a nod to the movie 'Heat'. BTW, it rocked. The combat in this game has been so satisfying.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

I'm much earlier in the game. I'm just now at the part where you have to mow "Union Leaders" down at the construction site. I'm having a hard time in the last scene. I end up getting myself killed because I'm trying to rush through tons of people shooting at me in order not to let the last guy get away in the helicopter. Do I have more time than I think I do at that point? Can I hide and pick people off at my leisure, or do I need to rush? Advice?

Also, Raq cracks me up. A lot. And I am not even going to grace ND's terrible pun with a response.
