Tosh is alright, but I always preferred his contemporary/possible rival, Demetri Martin.

Martin is terrible after four minutes, that's why every one of his show(s)/pilots gets the axe.Dunno, just find his act very unoriginal and he's like a mix of unfunny Hedberg and funny Carrot top. Plus he borrows heavily from other comedians.

Again, I like Tosh for his business ethic. Guy writes like a mad man, and works like it too. With both Tosh and Martin, neither really have the comedic style I prefer, but at times can be hilarious. Which is crazy to say as I love all of Mitch's one liners, but prefer Carlin and Cosby's style of telling a story that is both eye opening and funny.

Prop comics just ain't my thang.

Woke up to my girlfriend telling me there was a drunk homeless guy sleeping in front of our apartment by the gate when she came home last night. Went out back to let the dog out to discover a pile of human feces in the yard and said homeless guy bathing naked in the landlord's pool. Apparently the guy is a "friend" of the landlord and needs a place to "lay low" for awhile but he isn't allowed inside.

Not sure what to think but pretty relived that I'm going to the Carolinas for the week starting tomorrow.

Well that's... charming.

People do what they have to do, but I wonder about his story.

Wondering what good werewolf theme stuff there is out there. Played Skyrim and with the mods, it made the werewolves so much more interesting. Diablo II was fun to play as a werewolf back in the day and is still fun if I get back to it.

As commented in what I last seen, Dog soldiers is the best werewolf related movie I've seen and wish more movies would follow suit. Doesn't have to be game or movies, but does anyone know any other good werewolf related stuff?

Looking into GIS careers... anyone here do anything in this field? Making maps sounds kind of fascinating. Was always interested in architecture, but I doubt I'd have the patience for that much schooling.

It's tricky that I want to get into some kind of technical field, but at the same time want to avoid programming as much as possible. Not too great on that and the logical thinking.

Gonna be 25 this year though so kind of need to start getting my shit together so I'm not stuck in dead end jobs.

Operation Darkness is a 360 game that has occult stuff/WW2 history. its a mishmash of a strategy game. Some liked it some didn't.

The guy over at Hardcore Gaming 101 made a real in-depth review of this game.

I have this game but no 360 yet, and hopefully one day I'll play it.

Did your brain not scream "Call 911"?.

Thought: Went to see a steel drum band tonight with friends. It was a band and they had two steel drums, but that is not a steel drum band.

The cart might boot, but there would definitely be something missing from the game. For instance, on Chatting Parodius the outer pins are used for the spoken samples. I think that game will work and just be missing those if you use a Game Genie that is missing the pins in order to play it on a US system. I don't have a SNES GG to test it anymore though. I swear I read that you'd be missing graphics in Star Fox if the outer pins weren't connected.

There's not enough of those bits to connect anything when plugged into a SNES, but since it looks like just the connectors are broken off, I'm sure something could be set up to fix it. No need to destroy some other SNES cart, an old PC ISA card or something with the Same width pins that nobody cares about could be used. Would just have to clean up the PCB, epoxy a replacement piece, then wire up the connections. Obviously you'd just need to be gentle when inserting the cart.

Minor update: Just got the third star in the game (sorta kinda almost halfway into it) and still no problems.
