That wasn't a multipost...

****. Sorry for my stupid then.

I just landed at Dulles. Final flight starts in about an hour. My DS' battery died VERY early in the flight. Very disappointing.

Re: Off Topic 2011

I seriously have had a day each with both games where I did nothing but play all day.

Spoiler

I jumped on the boat late as before it seemed like something tat wouldn't interest me. Had the same exact feeling. Currently on my second playthrough of the first game with Female Shepard.

I guess I should spoiler this just so I won't be an *** and "ruin" anything for those that haven't played it yet:

Spoiler

I got the planet exploration vehicle today. Its pretty sweet. I took it to Luna and that was pretty **** cresting the ridge and having Earth right in front of your face in the sky.

There's already been some pretty **** gun battles, too. I took down the Matriarch, which took a couple tries. I like the feeling that I while my skills attribute to how well I do in combat, if I use some practical strategies and implement each squad member's abilities (Ashley is a beast with the assault rifle) that even the toughest challenges aren't impossible.

Plus, I love the whole feel of the style of the game. It reminds me a lot of 2001: A Space Odyssey and a little bit of Blade Runner. How long does it take a play through? I'm around the 12 hour mark so far.

Depending on how thorough you are, anywhere from 22 to 32 hours I'd say. My first play through without out DLC, and just playing straight through took about 26 hours. My second play through With DLC while knowing where to go, what to do, and everything else, took me a couple over 30 hours.

Furiously charging my DS and waiting for boarding to start. Ready to be home.

Well, I finally blocked her number.

No temptations to talk or work things out or fall back into the trap.

I think I'm sitting on the tiniest commercial plane I've ever been on. It has 3 seats, 1 on the left of the aisle, 2 on the right. Phew.

Wow that must be a rinky dink airline then.....

Re: Off Topic 2011

Even the big-name airlines have regional jets in the fleet... Never liked them, though, since they have even stricter carry-on restrictions... I had a flight from Det to Atlanta, with a stop at DC... Had just one carry-on but they stopped me at the connecting flight gate at DC and forced me to check in my carry-on.... Pfft.

United Express. Roanoke is a rinky dink airport tho, lol. Anyway, I'm almost home! Just a 30-45 minute drive! Huzzah.

Re: Off Topic 2011

And my drive is finished. I'm so tired. I can't wait to sleeeeeep. It's nice to be back where my computer is, and where my 360 is. Going to spend tomorrow lounging, and cleaning up some things that need to be cleaned.

As for my interview, I'll tell you guys tomorrow, as I'm probably going to watch an episode of something on TV and then hit the hay.

Re: Off Topic 2011

Got my first speeding ticket. 47 in a 30. LOL. I hate myself.

My first ticket was a 45 in a 25, and I hated myself too.

Re: Off Topic 2011

I almost got a ticket once, we were all kind drunk except me and I was waiting at this light for 5 min and noone was coming on either side(it was 3 am) so finally I said F it and made the left turn U-turn on red. Cop out of nowhere cause i thought it was all clear. He left me off with a warning tho since he said the light was being crazy long.

Luckily I did that in town, the 2 cops in the more rural area outside of the town where I lived will give you a ticket for anything like going 6 mph over

Glad you made it safely.

I do remember a trip to the Caribbean that I made years ago and I swear to God the wing flaps were literally taped onto the plane and shaking like crazy. I was a bit apprehensive about the whole thing and quite nervous for the full 3 hr trip (I was flying from Miami)
