Now, these things don't necessarily cancel each other out, do they?

Have them call a truce and start negotiations. You need both. I say this having some experience with strong crazy people who had no weak polite ones covering for them. It's unpleasant.

Excellent pics. You are beautiful, BTW.

I miss europe. Le sigh.

Escort quests can be pretty frustrating, but I don't think I minded that one so much. I did take awhile to get used to using the boomerang to keep the wagon from burning while still worrying about all the crap around you.

That said, there is an optional quest you can do later in the game- you have to run a barrel of water from the Death Mountain area to Castle Town....you can't fight the enemies, and the barrel will break if your hit. And if you don't get there fast enough the water goes cold and you have to do it again.

I was very thankful for the wrist strap after doing that one over and over.

You haven't even scratched the surface as far as all the cool stuff coming up in that game though- try not to let the wagon part ruin it for you.

(love the new profile pic by the way)

Hey! Don't give up yet! I found the escort really tough as well, but the secret to getting through is to:

1.use the boomerang to put out the flames on the cart every now and then

2. You have to kill the bird when you are just about there, otherwise it keeps turning you around a bit.

Good luck! The rest is definitely worth playing!

Happy Valentines day!

I ran into my older brother's friend's ex-wife yesterday. She used to work at a bar in Arcata where she served me many a drink. And I remembered. SF is nice in how contained it is.

luckily it's robot month.

Those damn robots, nothing but trouble.

Although if the dream had continued, I bet one of you rwould have been revealed as one of them (come on, you have to get some BSG influence in your subsconscious, right?)

Have fun. and that is why Superbowl Sunday is good even for those of us who couldn't care less about football.

This is why FPS games should have handicaps, like in golf.

yeah, for weapon switching you should assign keys near your "wasd" setup that you aren't using. key things like the rocket launcher and the railgun. it takes a while to get used to but it helps out. good luck.

Booo Reason!

Yes, people play WoW that much. Whether they survive or not is open to debate - what sort of time scales are we talking here?

having said all that, there are some amazing PC games out there. (Yes, crack is bad, but here, try some!)

I love NZ...how did you like it?

What will they think of next...

that shit plagues me almost every day of my life. i don't know how i survive, especially since i use that same rational to eventually give in.

I dig and despise delayed pleasure. Grrrrrrr. However, I've found when I don't see something coming, I enjoy it all the more for it. Good luck.
