:D Just got back from a friends place that was given a huge pile of computer stuff by his dad. From what I understand it was stuff that his company was going to throw out so he brought it to him. When I say huge pile, I mean like a midsized car type of pile. Tons of it was very old(I probably threw out 20 sealed copies of windows 98), but we did get a few nice machines built. Three with core 2 duos and a couple of pentium 4s. Hopefully we can organize a little lan party soon. :D

Ticked: Broke the right joystick on my Steel Battalion controller. It was sitting on the floor and I accidentally ran my foot into it, and it snapped clean. Going to try and glue it back together and hope it holds.

Definitely...

If you've got the money, you can even create your own LAN and connect up to 8 controllers to it... :wink:

I personally love the game, but I'm also a huge fan of the MechWarrior games. The controller is well integrated with the rest of the experience and really gives you a sim feel to it. My biggest complaint is the right hand joystick is very stiff, which is probably want contributed to the accident. I imagine that part of the plastic has been getting weaker over time. I bonded it back together with a plastics superglue and it's sitting straight up no problems. Going to give it time to set before I try to manipulate things.

You gotta pay attention to the big capital letters in the front windows of restaurants. :P

I do!

Man this is awful. I have no idea where I got it. Might even just be stomach flu or something. I haven't had any undercooked meat or uncleaned vegetables. I don't have any idea.
