Hey, what you do with the Mako in your spare time is your business....but I don't know who's yard you're in. I live in an apartment building. We have parking lots, not yards. :P

Freehold's rampage reminds me of way back in the days of yore, when my best friend and I considered the "Paperboy" video game a role model as to how to behave as paperboys.

(And for those of you who are wondering, yes you CAN drive a 1983 Volkswagon Rabbit on the sidewalks in the Berkeley hills -- the wheel base is just narrow enough...)

I feel like a ride in the Mako would shatter your spine.

Alright all you fishing faithful I've got another one for you that comes straight from today!

I get home have a sandwich and start digging up my rods one ultralight to once again catch pompano or whiting (note I didn't catch either of these today). And one rod set for shark now most people when the set up for shark take a big rod and feel maybe 7 ft rod with a pretty heavy duty reel. Well not me! I go out with 8lb test line and a light rod made for trout and stuff of that nature. So I get back out went to Mexico beach again cast out my ultralight rig and catch a few catfish not sure why they are out so heavy right now it's actually irritating.

Finally I catch a pinfish well he gets cut up for the main event. Cast out maybe 5 to 10 minutes later my rod bends over and I start to hear drag being pulled I quickly switch rods and end up fighting a fish for at least 20 to 40 minutes I'm letting this fish take out line to wear it down....well I look down and see I've got no line left I can see metal never ever a good thing. So I finally start leading this giant shark only thing that this could have been. Well I see some more innocent bystanders hanging out in the water so I manage to get him to turn back the other way. I've got him in "close" or at least closer than he was before when my line snaps. [EXPLETIVE DELETED] i just lost steel leader and my whole rig it snapped somewhere above my shock like 50/60 lb test to protect against abrasion and steel leader for teeth. Well I'm tired I spent all day at the plant lifting 10 to 15 pound equipment all day so of course I re-rig and get some more cut bait on my hook.

Not 5 minutes later rod bends over again! So I begin the whole process once more. At first he swims into shore and I can see a 3 to 4 foot shark cruising along in maybe knee to waist deep water when he suddenly flicks his tail and all I hear is the sound o line being pulled out of my reel.

Well I probably go back and forth with this guy for my father in law says about 45 minutes when I finally get him to the shore line and we are able to grab him by the tail and get him out of the water!!! He's about 4 ft long and somewhere between 50 to 60 lbs I'm still trying to figure out what kind he was we let him go to swim another day damn that was awesome :)

I like pushing my rigs far further than they were intended to go but I almost bit off more than I could chew this time I'm thinking a rod and reel slightly larger than this one just to make sure I don't exhaust the shark to much and end up killing him. Almost thought this guy wouldn't make it which would have sucked they are so cool. Actually a great white was recently caught in my area which is weird since they don't normally come over here.

I think it's g#@$*&n hilarious that once you hit level 10 or so, Shepard has more hit points, better shields, and deals more damage than a tank. Want to kill a thresher maw? Forget that circle-strafe s%~*, just get out of the space car and shoot it 20 times with a pistol. You get way more experience, too. Go figure.

I love Mass Effect!

It does have some issues though.

Yahtzee sums it up well. =)

You are telling me that I was wasting time waiting for the cannon to reload all this times and should be killing those worms personally?!

When I'm stuck on what to get my wife I go with something crafty, handmade or tugs at the heart, a handmade birthday card goes a long way :-)

Also making them something they love to eat but hardly get to eat works masterfully :-)

So ran a NWN event last night ripping heavily from What Lies In Dust.

The haunts? The shadow hounds? The skeletal dragons (in place of the triceratops)? The vampires? The laser-beam firing artifact? Even the floating insane skull that the PCs thought might be a demilich? None of this freaked out the players as much as the soulbound dolls.

Add to this them appearing and disappearing through hidden passages, moving things around behind the PCs' backs, stealing and rearranging discarded items, and other such nonsense, and they were incredibly unnerved by the end of the event. One guy even said he was expecting it to break into a D&D equivalent of a FNAF game.

The internet: where people can insist they're right, even when they are given proof that they are incorrect.

Tip: if you make absolute statements, you're making absolute statements. If you wish to include elements where someone can be different from you, include that note or, alternatively, don't make absolute statements.

Guh.

First things first, I made bacon yesterday.

I can manage a lot with my hand as it is, especially since it is not my dominant hand. The real limitation on handmade gifts is going to be time. The last several days were a washout since I was entertaining family, so now I am scrambling.

Also, my mom got us a gas grill for our birthdays (mine is the 27th) and I went with her to pick it up.

The guy at the store thought I was some kind of monster for letting my mom lift things while I did not... I felt like I had to display my injuries so he wouldn't judge me.

Anyway..... We have a gas grill!

Pretty much. The acid spit is easier to dodge on foot as well, and they only burrow if you're in the Mako. You can either get behind something and hit it a few times with a sniper rifle, or just run back and forth shooting at it with a pistol or assault rifle. Similar tactics also work on Geth Colossi and turrets.
