Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

I admit that I am sick (awful fever actually that kept me from going to work today) but I must really be off my game if I missed an "we already have a thread for that" opportunity.

As soon as I'm not Senior Diarrhea Barf-a-lot, I'll respond to my "we already have a thread for that" duties. Until then I'll probably be quarantined in the guest bathroom, barfing a lot.

This whole sick thing is making me re-evaluate my life. I'd pay $5k, right now to not be sick. I've only had a stomach bug this bad three times in my life, and you would think there would be some cure other than Jell-o and 7-up. If it took me 7 years in med school to find a simple cure for a stomach flu/bug, it would be more than worth it. Stomach hurts so bad I can't sleep, and although I knew you can taste the rainbow, I never thought you could vomit one. Sorry to be so explicit, but I haven't felt this bad since American Muffin was born (that's a math joke, not an insult).

Ugh. As a director this pisses me off as I want to attend meetings and set a standard of excellence, but I can't afford to pass this bug on to co-workers. Sorry, had to vent somewhere.

On second thought I think that could be the premise of a Trale Lewous Skittles commercial.
Trale is hunched over, a friend stops by and asks "what's wrong?".
Trale responds, "I think I ate too many Skittles."

"Too many Skittles? Is that even possible?"

Trale proceeds to vomit rainbows.

Okay it needs work, but I'm running a fever so take it easy on me.

iirc it was just about the most valuable video games, pretty much all the stuff that is already on the site.

There was a blurb in GamePro, but that was the January 2010 issue.
