True. They are very popular…yet, its strange how many movies and tv shows have those roars.

Would you guys rather win a random Ferrari or a random Lambo?

> Would you guys rather win a random Ferrari or a random Lambo?

I’m thinking Ferrari… Lol, but dang, I wouldn’t turn down one of them.

> Would you guys rather win a random Ferrari or a random Lambo?

Why not both?

> Would you guys rather win a random Ferrari or a random Lambo?

Neither, because the taxes on either would cost more than I make in a year.

Just give me a cash prize and I’ll deal with the taxes being auto removed kthx :wink:

I WOKE UP IN A NEW BUGATTI!

Same. Money is always nicer. I could buy a cheaper car and gas for it. My current ride is not the most…fuel efficient of vehicles, but I park it in the space reserved for that type because everyone else takes the normal parking spaces.

Exactly! Just sell it, pay off some bills, save some money for later in life.
Speaking of economical cars, have you guys heard of the Elio? Its got like 84 MPG and costs only $6800! Now i’m not sure how reliable it would be, but for that price/mpg…

I just found out MIT offers Game Design courses in its online open course program and Harvard offers one in computer science.

Not to self: If heading to college for game design, do these course in spare time.

Being well-rested is also important. I’ve been better, happier, and saner ever since I started waking in the day and sleeping at night (used to be the other way around).

I also can’t emphasize the value of psychotherapy enough. Assuming that you’ve got a competent therapist, it’ll at least keep you from getting worse, and there can be value in it even if you don’t have anything pathological.

Thank you for reminding me it’s near midnight and that I should get some sleep. I’m off.

Hopefully we can get an Avatar costume of me or a gamerpic of myself. Having your gamertag be Jameson Locke and a cloaked John-117 as your avatar and gamerpic don’t work.

What about…

Cloaked Locke?

Ok so where is the scene where Spiderman fights the X-men squad? Or am I losing my mind from years and years ago?

So weird how that works. The brain is so amazing. Being awake for the light time and asleep for the dark time makes all the difference. Your 100% right. It’s 12:17am here in Texas, should prob head to sleep to start this trend for me matter of fact.

I suck at Battlefield. But no lag! WOO!

AND -Yoink- THE ATTACK ON TITAN MARATHON. No Cowboy Bebop, no Black Lagoon, no Gurren Lagaan, damn it! At least we still have a dandy guy in space.

How dare you speak ill of Attack on Titan?! I’m watching the marathon right now.

I would if it was not me just being super lonely…

I can’t sleep. There’s a cricket on my ceiling.

If you or anybody you know is trying to shift their sleeping pattern onto the appropriate timezone I recommend you look into buying some Melatonin. My neurologist strongly suggested this to me because of the fact that when people age they begin to produce less and less of it. Melatonin is one of the most influential chemicals that influences how the body sleeps(sleep cycle).

She recommended between 3 and 6 MG once nightly shortly before the time you desire to begin going to sleep. Do so for a week or two(whatever your body needs to be retrained to sleep at that time and not 2am).

Also good for travelling to different timezones. Obviously the higher the dose the more effect. I’m no medical professional but I’ve always been instructed to take the lowest possible dose that gives the desired effect. Start with 3mg for a week or two and bump it up to 4 or 5 if it’s not working well.
