I find it funny just reading it.
Yep, good thing, I also got back from seeing Watchmen. It was a long movie but I enjoyed it. On the ride back home we were pulled over and searched at like 1 something in the AM. I have never been searched before.
I was also recently pulled over and searched.
The great thing is, both times I'd been pulled over, never gotten a ticket (even for the serious first one of going 20 miles over the speed limit). This time when I get pulled over, I'm with my friend, it's by an undercover cop, while coming out of the bario, and they were f***in serious about it. They searched both of us, the car, my friends backpack, everything. Then he was gonna cite me for following too closely and an unsafe lane change (I was guilty of both I guess, but I had my reasons). He lets me off with a warning on both, bullets 1 and 2 dodged. Then as he drives off, I yell in the car "HOLY S***! HE DIDN'T EVEN CARE WE WEREN'T WEARING SEATBELTS!" Bullet 3 dodged. Then I come to find out, that the insurance information in the car (which he didn't ask to see) was old and invalid, and the new valid one was at home. Bullet #4 dodged.
One lucky as hell night.

My broken Xbox 360 that had 1 red ring and was out of the standard one year warranty is on it's way back to me from Microsoft after being repaired for free, becuase I sent it it saying it RRoD on me (which is covered for three years).
It pretty much is RAtM, except with superior vocals. :p
I really dug Audioslave. Chris Cornell is off doing his own thing and Rage has been reconciled. Oh well :giveup:

Fixing the RRoD is pretty easy, if it does RRoD on you just open the case and put some Arctic Silver on the GPU... :)
Rage Against the Machine is better. :carms:
I must concur. :carms:
Audioslave is like the pussy version of RATM.

This is true.

EDIT: Maybe you didn't understand me. Let me be more clear here.
My Xbox died on me with only 1 red light. Not the RRoD. Because it was a year old, and didn't RRoD on me, I would have had to pay 90 dollars for Microsoft to fix it for me. Instead, I called em up, and told them it RRoD on me, even though it really hadn't, because the RRoD is covered for 3 years.
Also, putting new thermal compound on the GPU won't fix the RRoD 100% of the time, and if your console has RRoD on you, you're more likely than not still covered for Microsoft to fix it for free. So why open up your case (voiding your warranty) to do something that most likely won't fix it. The problem is more often than not the failed X-Clamp design, so if you're going to ruin your warranty, you might as well replace the X-Clamp with parts that don't warp the motherboard, which will actually fix it.
So, in conclusion:

My 360 died Thursday, got myself a RRoD. But today I got this.

Holy **** I hope you're joking.

Eh.... It's still a hardware error and they fixed it, so they must have felt like keeping a customer. Also this:
I AM FINALLY DONE WITH UNDERGRADUATE AUDITIONS YESYESYESYESYESYES
Searched? Damn, that's dumb. Something to think about is that if a cop asks to search your car, you can say no. They just need a "uhhh, sure" to be allowed to look at everything. Though, if something worse happens for saying no, I don't know. Har.

I think that's why allowing them to search is a good idea.

I've been told multiple times that if a cop asks to search your car and you say no then they automatically have probable cause. It's a broken system, but that's how it is.
@Bongo: Yay for your 360 and new computer! Also, I saw you're $6 DVI > HDMI cable and I'm getting one as well :D

Played the hell out of all the previous Unreal Tournament games, love them. Dunno why I never bothered to get this before.
I've been told multiple times that if a cop asks to search your car and you say no then they automatically have probable cause. It's a broken system, but that's how it is.That seems a bit backwards-- I mean, if consenting allows them to search and saying no means that they can automatically search, there would be effectively no "protection from unreasonable searches", i.e., it'd be unconstitutional. From what I understand, if you refuse a search, they can detain you for up to around 90 minutes under "reasonable suspicion" while waiting for a sniffer dog (which may give them probable cause to search your car without consent), but more than that and they either have to arrest you or let you go.
To be honest, I don't see a particular downside to saying no to a search request (besides being delayed)-- if you're not guilty, then they shouldn't be searching you, and if you are, there's a decent chance they won't bother with getting probable cause and let you go on your way. In addition, if they did search you without legitimate justification or consent, it's possible that anything incriminating collected would be impermissible as evidence.

I really dug that game a lot. Did not play it on the PC, but played it a lot on the 360 and PS3. Only thing that killed that game for me, was a piss poor online community, and some broken online glitches. Also, "warfare mode" is basically the siege mode from UT2K3. Running/sprinting is replaced with the use of hover boards.

Probably my favourite album from Audioslave. Chris Cornell is definitely one of the best vocalists there is.

UT3: Black

Both on offer on Steam.
EDIT: According to my Steam community page leXX took advantage of the cheap UT3 as well.

I've got UT3 for PC, but I never play it. I've had every version of Unreal since the first one and it's what shaped my tastes as a gamer, and playing an M-rated game at 9 years old is a good way to get bad dreams.
I got UT3 as a birthday present for my dad which is the only game he likes (just give him a small level with Rocket Arena on). But other than a few death matches with AI, I haven't really touched it at all.
Unreal, Unreal Tournament, Unreal Tournament 2k3, Unreal 2, Unreal Tournament 2k4, Unreal Tournament 3... all of them...
Also, I want the magic known as Bombing Run back, that stuff was ridiculous!
DAMN YOU STEAM!
Stealing all of my money with your irresistibly low prices!
I just purchased UT3 Black. Even though I've already put dozens of hours into UT3 and gotten tired of it.

You do realise the retail version key will activate on steam to give you UT3 black right?
I said I've played UT3 for dozens of hours, I never said I owned it.
>.>
<.<
I've also got UT3 black
We should get a game of that going sometime.
Definitely, could be hard to find a server where we all get good ping though...
I'm jon_hill987 on Steam if you want to add me.
Good thing: My Xbox 360 arrived back from Microsoft 2 days earlier than UPS' estimated delivery date.
Bad thing: I'm pretty sure my friend accidentally grabbed his as well as my power cord for it when he was over here a few days ago.

Been wanting one of these for awhile. Was bored in History today, wondering what would be awesome and the idea of "hey, I still really want a pellet/BB gun... well ****, I'll get one today". So my bro and I hit up the local sporting goods store, I knew the price was at least $10-20 more than I remember. Head off to good ol' Wal-Mart and nabbed a pretty good one (The "Crosman Powermaster 66") for $50 with my bro's help ... financially. Walked out with 250 Hunting Pellets (shaped like bullets) and 1500 Copperhead BBs.
Everything I bought was labeled with "Made in America", lol, hell yeah.
Thing is ****ing awesome. Airsoft at point blank puts dents in cans. This ****er shoots straight through filled cans from 10yds. Scope is very nice, too. Too bad I don't have much room to use the thing, mostly shooting out of my garage into the lawn.
Got UT3: Black like everyone else... :p
We gotta have a deathmatch sometime this weekend.
I'll be too busy this weekend, but I'm up for it next weekend. Besides, wanna play through the SP first before I get into any MP with it. :)

Unreal Tournament has Singleplayer?
You didn't know that? I'm shocked.
UT3 has single player. It's essentially the standard multiplayer maps with a few tweaks and some cutscenes, but I suppose it's pretty cool.
It's a great way to get to know the maps before you go up against others, that's what I like about it. Obviously the story is a load of crap, but it's not meant to be anything serious. I always play through the SP in every game I buy before I do any MP with it.
leXX, I'd have to reccomend you don't bother with the SP campaign. I won't spoil anything for you, but lets just say that when it was all said and done, I took it back to Blockbuster immediately after I beat it cause the ending pissed me off that much.
I remember that.
You were a very, very angry Bongo after you beat that game.
Or might I say, PsychoBongoBob.
Hehehe, I feel clever.
Grrr, I'm still trying to download UT3 at the moment. I can't seem to download more than 20MB without restarting it so there goes leaving it overnight...

Just got home from district large group choral contest. My choir got a 2 overall, which is very good for sophomores who are noobs at the high school and haven't been to large group contest before. One judge actually gave us a 1 on our singing, which is amazing.
Also my birthday was yesterday. I got a lots of chocolate, a balloon, and a promise ring from my boyfriend <3
