The 4th is Labor Day. How you jagoffs gonna spend it?

Me, I gotta go take my daughter to see the grandparents, so it'll be portable gaming time. They live on the nasty Olympic Peninsula beachfront, which is full of rocks and rotting seagulls and rotting fish and rotting crabshells and rotting kelp and rotting wood and rotting sea urchins. It reeks like Shake's mom's pussy out there, and the bars are full of drunken surly hillbillies.

I'm gonna hunker down and put some serious PSP time in -- try and beat Valkyrie Profile's hard mode and play UGnG until my eyeballs rupture. I certainly shall NOT spend my time inhaling the rank odor of dead marine life.

That's what -- three minutes of Labor Day total for you? What ELSE. I suggest making a fursuit and cruising the DigiPen campus.

Some gaming, some reading. I think that's about it.

I don't have any plans... yet. I'll probably end up going to my parents who will want to have a BBQ at their place.

Besides that, I'm going to try to do as little work as possible. I'd like to put some time into Dead Rising, and read some Absolute books that I recently purchased: Watchmen, Dark Knight and Kingdom Come.

The Miles Trahan Burger Experiment · « **Reply #8 on:** August 28, 2006, 01:05:15 PM »

Damn, I need to pick up Absolute Dark Knight, but $100 is far too steep for me. :'(

Not to sound like Goodcow, but it's $63 w/ free shipping at Amazon. Still expensive, but much better than $100 which is pretty ridiculous. Many of their hardcovers (not just the comics) have really nice discounts. I hardly buy anything from B&M stores anymore.

The Miles Trahan Burger Experiment · « **Reply #10 on:** August 28, 2006, 01:10:53 PM »

I really want to pick it up, but considering I own the DKR tbp and can pick up DKSA (not that I would want to

) for $10-15, spending another 50 bones for the hardcover treatment and extras doesn't really appeal to me. I guess I'll just wait till my DKR wears out, or I win the lottery...

Amazon is pretty sweet. I just picked up three books on the cheap and got 2-day free shipping because I signed up for a free trial of Amazon Prime that I have no intention of actually paying for once the trial is up.

Yeah, I enjoyed having it even though I didn't really use it much during my three month trial. If you haven't already, make sure that you go into your account (I think it's under 'Subscription Management') and have it turn off when the trial ends. That way you won't have to worry about manually doing it, and getting billed.

I spend 98% of my time doing non-gaming related biz, duder. When I get a swath of time where my daughter will be watched by someone else, and my wife will be out shopping, damn STRAIGHT I'm gonna spend it gaming.

Aren't you the one pining about the lack of gamesite-related updates above?

1. I largely keep my hobbies to myself.
2. My peers are over the age of 25 and rock, because I don't associate with dumbfucks.
3. Again, I have ZERO time to play games, so when I get some rare time to myself, I don't fuckin' pass it up. At my age, you learn to appreciate free time -- and how.

Question out of curiosity: have you ever been playing your PSP and a kid (IE 14-17) has come up to you and asked if you wanted to play with him? Or have you ever gamed with people signifigantly younger than you in general?

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #35 on:** August 28, 2006, 05:14:27 PM »

I'm just curious about this. I mean, it would be interesting to hear about gaming sessions between gamers who are seperated by age by like 15+ years. Like a 15 year old playin with a 30 year old dude.

In my Wolfenstein ET clan, we've got a couple members in their late 30's, early 40's and they rock. Theres a father/son duo in the clan too, which is awesome.

Despite buying a 360 2 weeks ago, yesterday was the first chance I had to play for more than 90 minutes at a time. Mm, Dead Rising!

You don't even have Labor Day in Canada, you filthy Cannie. That's why you don't get it. Labor day is about our acceptance of socialist practices in order to make life better for the masses. You don't know jack shit about that in Canada.

Or wait, is Labor Day another one of those 8 holidays meant for venerating US murder and violent adventures in countries not our own?

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #38 on:** August 28, 2006, 05:18:58 PM »

Labor Day is a time when us members of the upper class give teachers and garbage men a rest day.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #39 on:** August 28, 2006, 05:20:22 PM »

Labor Day is there to celebrate socialism -- specifically, the tie-the-scabs-to-rebar-and-break-their-knees-with-a-tire-iron brand of Union socialism of the sort that makes Opa-Ages' Princess WayWay throw up into her mouth in a paroxysm of effete pseudo-conservative panic.

We generally celebrate it with barbecues, picnics, parades, Capcom-specific gaming marathons, and hanging Wobblies from local bridges. It's a good time!

I rarely play games in public unless White Man there tricks me into it by promising me lunch at Chili's. I'll gladly humiliate myself for chicken crispers and the volcanic diarrhea that inevitably follows.

If a kid asks me about a game I'm playing at an airport, I tell him or her to fuck off. Kids can find better things to do than badger me about video games, like picking at gum stuck to an airline terminal seat.

She's got huge boobs and is being quite flirtatious with me. I need someone to reflect her sexual advances on to, maybe you, PhoenixDark?

There are two 20-somethings downstairs, both work in the industry (one in casting, the other for a production company), that are currently single and busty as well.

There are about four other 20 to 30-year-olds in similar shape in the complex, all of them manhunting at any given point.
