Liquor before beer, in the clear.
Beer before liquor, never been sicker.

What about Liquor, beer and then more liquor?

Do you have the mouse callous, the acorn-sized lump on your right wrist where you rest your hand while using the computer? Good indicator you’re on there enough to cause issues.

H.

I assure you, I am on my computer enough to cause issues. :)

I dislike unboxing videos for games/hardware (especially when they’re spamming up the video list when I’m looking for a product review). Either do a product review, and include a brief mention any particular items of note that came in the box, or don’t. But please stop creating unboxing videos that mess with the search results for hands-on and review videos. I the unboxing video was created for a product you’re not yet allowed to publically review, then please remove the unboxing video (and any previews) once you’ve published the actual review.

This isn’t nerd rage, just nerd annoyance.

Man, Angry Birds is huge in Cambodia. Sooooooooooo many t-shirts and keychains. Many of them actually in use.

I’ve seen a Plants vs. Zombies tee or two, as well.

Built-in ziplock seals on food packaging never, ever work.

Fuck Alpha Protocol. I was all set to play it then I got to the computer hacking minigame then I remembered why I deleted it off my computer the first time I tried to play it. I’d rather just replay Mass Effect 1/2 for the fourth time then suffer through those asinine minigames just to play another sci-fi RPG.

Your loss. It may be my favorite RPG of all time.

I think it’s worth powering through the hacking mini game. It gets easier with practice. Combine that with an easily obtained skill and EMP grenades and it becomes a non issue, assuming you’re not having control problems due to some kind of bug.

I was eating pizza today and thought about how strange it would be if wild animals also wore clothes.

…and made pizza out of humans.

For nearly a year now I’ve been regularly watching (in order) an old BBC sitcom that happens to be available on YouTube. The episodes are not all on the same channel or from the same uploader, so I basically have to check the Wikipedia episode guide and then go to YouTube and type the name of the show followed by the episode title to find the next one.

Despite doing that, on average, at least once a day, YouTube has only recently gotten to the point where it actually tends to put the next episode I need to watch somewhere in the recommended list when I first log in. Meanwhile, it still remembers that I watched a Lady Gaga video several months ago and continues to throw pop videos at me.

I guess its an improvement, though.

Aww, I wanna be back in Hanoi, not stuck in Saigon with a worthless plane ticket.

Fucking incompetent busses.

Pfft, try being stuck in DA NANG with a worthless company commander while a bunch of college pukes back Stateside are badmouthing you while watching Mary Tyler Moore.

A lot of people like to believe that. I wish I could, but I was there. I wasn’t here in a class room, hoping I was right, thinking about it. I was up to my knees in rice paddies, with guns that didn’t work! Going in there, looking for Charlie, slugging it out with him; While pussies like you were back here partying, putting headbands on, doing drugs, and listening to the goddamn Beatle albums! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Da Nang’s at least temperate, with picturesque mountains, sandy beaches, and clean air.

There’s a coffee shop here in Saigon that claims, as part of their slogan, that they are (or their product is) “blook as devil.”

What the hell does “blook” mean?

Blook.

So their coffee is pretentious and useless.

What kind of fucking coffee drinker are you? It’s ‘black as the devil’ as in the quote ‘Black as the devil, hot as hell, pure as an angel, sweet as love’ by Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord describing the perfect cup of coffee.
