So it's a dressing gown. Could be good if you wanted to keep heating costs down, but why the hell wouldn't you just use a blanket?Choc said:

Portal 2 makes other games look like silent films.

I can't believe the hurtful things I'm seeing. I've loved the Burnout franchise, with every iteration. Paradise moved away from the crash aspect, sure, but I still felt it was a great installation of the series. Put 80 hours put into the game.

I just did a reasonably complicated trig calculation for work in Excel. The final result was a thing of beauty, with pushbutton-initiated macros, cross-sheet checks of error margins, fancy conditional formatting and some pretty sweet graphics. The calculation may have been pointless, made to answer the whim of an overcautious upper manager, but I made that equation squeal like a bitch.
I haven't done anything like that since uni. Feels good man.

I remember moving up to QLD in hs and losing a week of my easter holidays. I was under the impression that there were LESS holidays here...
Also getting my wisdom teeth out today!
evlcookie said:I feel like playing NFS again, Maybe this weekend i will jump back on and see who has beaten all my times
I really like NFS HP, though it seems the online has died off recently. Last time I went to play it I could only find one other person in about 10 minutes of looking.
Also, I bought some DLC that added some new modes, and no one is ever playing them so I wasted my money.

It's the best game in the world, not just the best of the series. My 400 hours or so is proof.

I've noticed that with quiet a few online racers. The online seems to be all there for a few weeks and then it just vanishes. I'm sure there's still some hardcore guys on every game out there that still play it weekly, But the general population seems to move on quickly.
That's why i loved burnout 3 so much. It's online was consistant for such a long ass time and i had my usual hardcore online mates that i would always play against. Hell we would play all damn day on the weekends and when they weren't around, Getting a game wasn't too hard. This easily went on for close to 12 months.
It seems impossible these days for a racing title to hold a large group of people's attention. FPSs like Bad company and CoD seem to have taken over, Which is a shame.
I might see if NFS online on PC is still alive although if the 360 is dead i would expect the PC to be a wasteland by now.
I dropped off playing HP (at least for the time being) on PC because it ran like shit on my PC (as did Blur). If you can't give me consistent 60fps even when dropping detail levels, GTFO.Mar said:
All that said, I'm still going to look for a copy of Takedown during my lunch break. Hopefully one of the 3 EBs around Melbourne city have a copy.
Edit: Agree with your statement on racers as well, cookie. Unless you organise something with mates you're pretty well screwed as far as random online races go with PC games :/
I don't know if i would recommend going back to playing burnout takedown. I guess it all depends on how you're eyes like the old 3D look because sometimes, It sure as hell looks like ass and it's impossible to see what's what.
It's still an outstanding arcade racer but it's major points were online. Since you won't be playing it online it might be a bit of a bore. Unless you like crash mode i guess and just general single player racing / beat the clock stuff to unlock cars.

I spend a fair amount of time working on massive excel files at work. Just like yours, they include a bit of everything. Button, macros, formulas so long that they read like gibberish, pivot tables, conditional formating, cross-sheet and file checking.viciouskillersquirrel said:
There's nothing quite like watching a 5 minute macro do it's thing: gathering data from other sources, collating, sort, pruning, moving, coping, deleting, formatting, moving the data to and from other sheets, creating other workbooks and then emailing the data to people.
It's awesome pushing one button and watching what used to take someone half a day to do being accomplished in 10 minutes.
Which just means I get even more work to do. Yay?

I got 3 Street Passes walking around the Perth CBD this morning, I was amazed, last time I had walked around the CBD in the morning I got none. I'm also finding myself when I have the time in the morning walking through the Bus Depot and the undreground train station just to see if I can get more Tags.
Coming in at about two a day now. Will get a few high-level hits from mates over the weekend, but it seems to be quietening down. Sitting on about 40 or so hits all up for the two weeks I've had it.Worthintendo said:
Almost done with the first tower quest, but according to a friend at the EB offices, there
are multiple passes of the 'Find Me' quest each with their own rewards
Oh, and I forgot my 3DS today.

HELL. YES. First used Hulu in the US and then was able to use a proxying service like with Pandora for a while (use PuTTY to shell into a server and proxy that way) but when they stopped it was a sad day.Choc said:

I spend all my play coins on Find Mii. I do hate getting streetpass hits from people who don't have any new puzzle pieces to offer, though.Bernbaum said:

I'll raise you on the frustrating stakes for Find Mii, Stuck on a level with a Ghost with a Light Blue Shield and for the life of me I can' seem to hire a hero with a Light blue shirt to be able to take it out. And of course given that all but 3 of my Tags are from Males, they are all wearing the same normal Blue Shirt. Would it kill people to have their Mii in a colour other than Blue.Bernbaum said:
