Why I'm disappoint below, it is spoilered for a reason.
Didn't get drugged once and there was no Vlad to bail you out at all. Actually didn't Vlad get killed in MP 2?
Edit: I thought I was in another thread. I need more sleep.
Yeah, you kill Vlad at the end of MP2.
I really liked Max Payne 3. It kinda felt like Man on Fire: The Game, complete with many of the visual clues and on screen text. And not giving translations for any in-game dialog was a good choice; it adds to the feeling of being stuck in a desperate situation and having to make the "best" of it.

1:00 last night, I decided to watch some Spongebob videos on Youtube.
I stopped when I came upon a screamer.
The upside is that I made some progress in Last Blade on NGPC, since I didn't sleep until 4:27 and I needed something to do.

A few weeks ago I went camping with my cousins. It was nothing too noteworthy, just a normal camping trip.
Anyway, when we arrived my six-year-old cousin decided to tell us that he was going to punch a tree in the crotch. So he goes up to it...
And kicks it.
That still cracks me up.
Insert clever quote here.

Is your kid a boy or a girl? Because you're only a terrible parent if your kid is a girl and you don't refer to her as a princess.
I must be a pretty terrible parent because my little girl likes bugs, video games, and Godzilla. I wonder where I went wrong.
In my book, all those things make you (and Jinx) great parents.

Now you've just got to convince her to dress up like a Jedi for halloween and her foundation will be complete.

You could always let her watch Mulan. As long as you're not turned off by the whole cross-dressing thing, Mulan kicks a$$. Literally. *Whack!* Hun fall down.

Smile: Got a new top of the line High Efficiency washer to replace our 20+ year old ones.
Ticked: We weren't planning on buying them but the old washer rusted through and was leaking all the water out.

Smile: The new washer can wash double the laundry per load using half the water of one load saving 50-60 gallons of water per load (One 20 gallon load = Two 40 gallon loads)
Ticked: We bought a new dryer too since the washer (and all high efficiency ones) washed more clothes than the old dryer could hold per load.

Smile: The wife like the new appliances
Ticked: I don't like spending this much money (that we didn't budget for) at once.

When living in Louisiana, it's unavoidable. What's worse, is that I'm allergic to mosquito bites. Fun fun...

:lol: The whole princess situation was actually pretty funny. It was my ex doing all the name-calling, and it's only because she wasn't called "princess" when she was growing up. If my daughter wants to play pretend princess, I won't stop her. However, I rather call her things like "smart" and "brave". Not a big deal though, was just funny to watch somebody have a mental breakdown over an image shared on Facebook (I'm not into the whole drama thing, but that was just hilarious.)

:? Want to start meditating again, but I'm not sure how. With so much chaos around, it would be nice to just slip away for a while and just enjoy nothing, but the chaos makes it hard to do that. The closes I get is when I'm feeding my mantids.

:( My Hierdula isn't eating. I'm sure she's just being difficult because she wants flies, but all I have is mealworms right now. Also, I have no idea what species she is. I was told one thing, but the colors don't match up with what I was told.

:D All the changes happening at my workplace may turn out to be a good thing. I can only wait and see, but some of the emails about the restructures is promising. Maybe I won't lose my job?

Whirlpool
My brother-in-law retired from a local sales and repair shop, he stated that all new stuff is crap in regards to longevity especially GE and Samsung. Out of the brands offered at Best Buy Whirlpool was the best offered. If I could have paid cash or wanted to pay interest on the purchase, I would have gone with Speedqueen or Fisher and Pykel per his recommendation.
