Hey Blue, wanna start up a column and get even more notoriety for your site?
If you look back at The Old Days (90s), you'll see he did a lot more editorializing than he does now. I miss it...

Well since the only one I bought out of all of those was Diablo3, its Diablo3 for me...but even if I was foolish enough to buy all of those it would still be Diablo3, since 1 & 2 were such epic games.
They really should get some kind of Fail of the Year awards ceremony going for stupid fail games, like they do with the razziess...

With that size, it's probably a texture update. God, I'd be so pissed if I had to download a 4 fucking Gigabyte patch...

He says that too but I don't think anyone who's ever driven with him would call him a safe driver.
Ha! They sound a lot alike. The only one I recall mine ever being in was a chain reaction rear end (he heard 3 other crashes, before he was hit), but he was a crazy driver, back in the day.

He says that too but I don't think anyone who's ever driven with him would call him a safe driver. He claims to have never been in an accident before but I can only vouch for the past 26 years, and for about 20 of those his sales job required about 50% travel. Must be doing something right. |

Took my driver's training classes with the local cops. Class was pretty informative even though roughly 50% of it was "Tell us more cop stories!"
I credit my dad and video games with most of my driving prowess beyond the rules though. Dad for instilling the fear of stupid people in me, "Always gotta be on the lookout for them. Don't expect them to do the right thing, expect the stupid" and video games for the hyper focus, situational awareness, multiple actor tracking, and reaction speed. |

...and a few of them had enough trouble following the simple proceedings that it seemed the clearest way to improve general driver safety would be to take away their licenses.
You would think that, but according to a traffic crash investigator it is damn near impossible (in Ohio) to get peoples' license outright taken away short of like a million DUIs. Officers can suggest via form for re-examination of terrible drivers, but even horrible old people WHO HAVE CAUSED MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS will inevitably pass re-exam. |

As for driving, I'm a good driver (only 1 accident in almost 20 years of driving) no speeding tickets and I drive the speed limit. But I swear and scream at the top of my lungs towards other drivers. Speaking of which I probably should have my horn checked at it's 20,000th beep. |

I went to the State wide Minnesota TZD (Towards Zero Deaths) conference. There were 5,000+ people from Law Enforcement, the state, Deprtment of Transportation, special groups, etc., and they shared a study that says 50% of bicycle vs car and peds vs car "accidents" are 50/50 at fault. A lot of times morons just walk in the street and (speaking from experience here in Minneapolis) bicyclists are asses. They think they own the road but forget that THEY HAVE TO FOLLOW SAME RULES AS CARS WHEN IN THE ROADWAY! |

| I don't want to see more Firefly, it was a great one off thing and I have fond memories but I've seen what happens when they go back (Serenity). It was cool but I'm sure Joss could do other cool stuff in the future too, just no more Dollhouse please is all I ask Ok parts of the second season were alright but they didn't make up for the rest. |

As for tickets, I always get one now and then, but I fight them and win! This is the Ontario site Ticket Combat that's provided me all the necessary tools I ever need to win from how to request information, to filing a Stay of Proceedings and arguing in court. Find one for your province or state. I suppose you can use the general information however and just need to look up your laws in your own Highway Traffic Act. I have yet to be convicted of a ticket in the last decade.
Stop making excuses Whedon! Just break your stupid contracts and focus on Firefly. What about your original contract with it...the one with out hearts?! Damn you! 
And loving Ass Creed 3 so far. Ran into the wee hours with it.

I got buzzed I thought by a mobile camera unit over here in the UK in October and my gf got flashed by a Red Light camera just after. We both promised we would drive very carefully after that whether we got the points/fine or not.
Now in March both of us have not got fined or otherwise and so now will not. Because of this I feel free to just drive safely within the speed limits even if someone is driving up my arse.
I have been driving for 21 years - 38 years old and never learnt that before.
Guess somewhere a god of some description was listening... |

It is pretty much trial by fire. My driving instructor had me cruise on the freeway a few times just to get the feel for it when I was 15.5, but the actual test was pretty much the same as Creston's in South Cali, minus the parallel parking. The only thing I got dinged for was driving too fast in the parking lot, but that wasn't enough to fail me.
Only accidents I've had are fish tailing out in the rain twice (once taking out a fence, but both times no other cars were involved and only minor damage to my bumpers) to support the stereotype that no one in South Cali knows how to drive in the rain and getting rear ended at stop lights/traffic by people not paying attention or on their cell phones. I've gotten better with my rain driving over the years fortunately and I was driving a steel tank the 6 times I was rear ended so the damage was never even anything worth reporting on my end.
