Is there any resolution in a game of thrones? I'm more than half way though and the plots just keep getting deeper and deeper without anything really being resolved; everything feels like it's dangling.

There's pretty much no resolution in that series. I think he does cap each book with a big climax, though.

Mandark is right, he sort of strings you along while building crazy scenarios up (the scenarios get stranger and bigger as you go along). Its already passed a point where one wonders how he's going to resolve all these scenarios he's opened up (not in a good way).

I was personally addicted to certain character scenarios and just good ol' "What happens next". I finished "Feast for Crows" a year ago.

lennedsay-- Another good spot is the intersection of North + Milwaukee. it's a former hipster spot, wicker park. It's pretty packed on Friday and Saturday nights, but it's a mix of yuppies, normal 20-somethings, and art students. You've got the Subterranean and the Double Door for music, Reckless Records right around the corner, Myopic books, and a bunch of good restaurants. If you're looking for somewhere kinda low key and romantic for dinner, check out a place called Hot Chocolate. It's a bit pricey, but they've got good food and the best hot chocolate ever (don't eat too heavy because it's very thick stuff.) it's dimly lit and the seating is fairly spread apart.
It's a nice area to spend an evening.

And the best disputably hipster music venue is the Empty Bottle. Check out their page, they've got descriptions of all the bands that play there on their calendar. it's where most of the interesting, but too-large-for-some-dude's-garage-and-possibly-about-to-get-popular bands play. But they also have a good jazz night. Otherwise, for the underground music in the city (which will lead you to some mellow bars and art spaces), hit up http://now-is.org/

Holy shit, you're the best! Thanks man, just the kind of ideas I've been looking for.

I left work and cracked my window, and it just fucking dropped. WTF?! I just had to replace my other window because a streetsweeper busted it with a rock!

Now I'm at the mechanic waiting, and every time they call peoples' names, I just want to start cheering them on like The Price is Right or something. Seriously, it took everything I had to not jump up and say, "Fuck yea Geraldine, with a blue Accord!" and high-five her. WTF is wrong with me?!

Ooh window needs a new regulator. $150 installed. This happened the last time I tried going to Chicago with my old Civic!

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #1288 on:** August 24, 2009, 08:08:31 PM »

Power windows are great but yeah, expensive to replace. When I rocked my parents van, it not only did not have power windows but the drivers side door had gotten hit. You needed to be Hercules to get that shit down.

The manual window in my old Laser would come out of the track, so it was a two hand job. (

)

The first car I drove was a car my parents bought new when I was a baby, and they told her the windows would loosen up. But they were such a bitch to roll up and down even 16 years later when I started driving it. Thinking about it makes me happy to pay $150 and not have to deal with it.

Yea, but when I looked into it with my last Civic, you need this one special tool just to get the fucking door open. It sat at my in-laws for days and my father-in-law never could really do much with it. I ended up having to take it in anyway. If I could garage it until the part came in, it'd be fine, but I have a nice stereo and have to park in a public lot for work.

Huge pet peeve of mine: Adventure Gamers gives 99% of adventure games 3 1/2 stars out of 5. It's irratating as fuck because adventure games vary GREATLY in quality. It is one of the most up and down genre ever and their reviews do not help AT ALL in finding good adventure games. It's like the famitsu-gives-all-rpgs-a-32/40 thing but even worse. Grrrrrr

I went to one of my classes today and there was no one there; not even the professor. Turns out I was the only one enrolled in the class and so they decided to drop it.

So I sign up for another class at the same time and it only has 6 people now out of a possible 35. I wrote the professor and was like "Hi, is this class getting cancelled too, cause moving from one canned class to another doomed class would be a bad lol" in more professional speak. Hope it doesn't get canned cause then I'm pretty limited in options from that point on!

Oh and my cancelled class was awesome because the book was only $67 compared to $150-200 like every other class. MONEY NOT SAVED

We also had the fire drill pulled on day 1 today

AFAIK there are no bad adventures if you are an adventure addict much like there are no bad jRPGs if you like them

It's my favorite genre of course but I'd be lying if I said I haven't played through some damned terrible ones... Xenosaga, FF2, FFX2 for starters...
