On to the games though:

Gran Turismo 5: Never had a game that got me so pissed off but yet I want to play it more and more every day.

Need For Speed Shift 2: Sucks. Really, REALLY sucks. Awkward control layout, pretty much unplayable without a dedicated wheel.

Call of Duty Black Ops 2: BORING! I've never played such a boring FPS in my life...even the online play becomes overly repetitive and boring after 10 minutes. I don't see what the hype has ever been about the COD series.

So I've been spending most of my gaming time between Gex 3 (PS1 title) and Tekken Revolution (free in the PlayStation store).

Anyone have other game recommendations? I'm not really happy with the titles I've seen for this console so far

What sort of games are you into? I've played a shitton of games, and could probably recommend some for you.

@M-17 I've been throwing that question around in my head and that was the answer I got. A happy marriage, a good child, a job you love, a car you love(because I hate my current one and can't imagine living like this every single day til I die) and a place you can call home and lastly being able to make ends meet while still being able to do the things you love.
To me that is success... Because I know those are the things that will make me happy

And nearly all those things have one primary element in common....

Currency.

So in the end success is measured, at some level, by currency. Maybe it's not "money" but it is something you can do/make/exchange for something else, and in the end that is all money is, a mechanism of trade.

It's a nice thought that Success should be defined by some other measurement, but it's all intertwined at some level.

i've come so close to telling my regional manager to go fuck himself so many times. the store manager is awesome, but the customers i have to deal with? ug.

Just finished filling out an app for Pep Boys as a parts driver. here's hoping!

I had a four part post, but I believe I've lost one so we'll see where I get with this post.

1. Yesterday I saw a Civic hatch-back lose it's tailpipe on the interstate. It just fell right off.

2. Why does everyone in the main forum have such a self-righteous view of their driving ability/driving record?

3. What's a good set of brakes that doesn't cost $10k?

4. I really like The Last of Us, but man do I not like survival horror games.

I think I lost one of the original parts and added one. But I don't know. Oh well.

Because some people think that Driving Aids make you a better driver, when in fact all it does is keep you stupid as it saves your ass from the various mistakes one makes while driving.

TC OFF FOR LIFE, YO!

I know that feel when you hate a car... every time I drove my old mustang I felt like driving it into a pole or a concrete barrier with no remorse of my own life, due to the intense hate I had for it...

maybe. I'm still not turning it off on the street though. not with these tires and so much torque.

Most power I've had under my right foot has been 414hp... but in a 4100 pound chassis...

Still drove it with TC off, sometimes by choice, other times I had no option, and din't have ABS either... lol

I did when she was stock, but I haven't gotten the chance to take her to a big empty parking lot and see how much differently she'll handle with boost compared to NA. especially since I think i was max torque of 180lb/ft, if that, while NA.

Eventually I'll get to go mess around, but until then, I'll keep it on.
