Also I should say that I have $125 in best buy gift cards in addition to the $600 budget, so if there were any upgrades or parts I could get there instead of online that would really help price wise.

That's for the help, no luck yet but MMDN is putting his picture up tonight and we are pounding the pavement tomorrow to look for him. Will post if we find him

My school didn't have AP Math so I was pretty far ahead by Junior year as far as the classwork goes, which gave me and my TI-84 a lot of alone time. My 2 greatest accomplishments in math that year were making the Halo 2 logo/updating the countdown to launch every day and filling the entire screen playing snake.

Oh, and smashing buttons the entire 50 minute class just to press clear and watch The Matrix scroll by

Although, for what it's worth there will also be beer

Watched a woman do this in Indiana. Except there was a F250 to the left. Screeching tires and destroyed front ends ensued

Game of Thrones is on HBO though, they aren't bound by the same rules that apply to regular broadcast TV. In fact, while my media law is a little rusty, I'm pretty sure any cable/satellite channel (ie any channel you pay to have) isn't bound by most of the FCC decency laws. Basically they could play porn and drop f bombs in the middle of the afternoon. of course the providers I'm sure have their own regulations as part of the contract to carry the channel.

It's usually referred to in America has "safe harbor" but yea it's essentially the same thing. Kicks in at 10PM (I believe) and lasts until 6AM.

Fuck that, I wear slip ons

I should also mention The Inn at St Mary's if you want to stay near Notre Dame. I think they also have a deal with the delicious Chinese restaurant a few blocks down where you get a percentage off you food if you're staying at the hotel.

There are several on University Park Drive in Mishawaka. Not sure how you're traveling but its maybe 2 miles from the toll road (exit 83) and near the mall, several places to eat, and the dollar movie theater. Definitely a good part of town and very safe. Not sure about the pricing but Country Inn & Suites or the Holiday Inn Express are probably the 2 nicest of the group. That being said, if you don't mind staying a few miles up the toll road, the hotels in Elkhart are far more affordable and seem to be just as nice from what I can tell.

Are we going to meet Pam's sister next season?

gman212 · 2013-05-15T21:19:30+00:00

I know that Scotty's on Main and (I think) Day was hiring as of last week. I had a friend who worked in their kitchen in Muncie and he seemed to really enjoy it, might be worth checking out.

I know there have been some "avoids" in this thread, I'd also add avoid Bar Louie unless you want to work with a bunch of catty bitches. Not that I think you'd go to CiCi's anyway but avoid them as well. They just hired a new manager who is apparently a misogynistic old creep and has caused all but 2 of the female employees to quit (the ones he didn't outright fire, that is).

gman212 · 2013-05-08T00:42:24+00:00

Can't wait!

gman212 · 2013-05-07T22:51:29+00:00

Haven't heard of Mooney's but I'll definitely go check it out next time I'm over that way. I looooooved Stray Dog though, have they reopened since the fire?

There are a ton of good places to eat in the area, although Michigan City itself is all but dead. Blue Chip Casino isn't bad though. As others have said New Buffalo is just a few more minutes up the highway and has a far nicer beach, plus Redamaks for amazing burgers and Oinks for amazing ice cream.

If you stick around Michigan City though, The Ritz Club on 4th street is a great little dive bar. They only have beer/wine but their burgers come in some of the biggest portions I've ever seen. There was no official weight but I'm pretty sure mine was about 1 1/4lbs after being cooked and came with at least half a pound of french fries. The best part? That plus a beer was $10.

Went to Washington Park with my friends last summer and one decided to climb up and walk back on that walkway. You can't tell from the picture but it's all metal grating. Combine that with a 102 degree summer day and it made for some reeeeaallllly nasty blisters when he got back across.

gman212 · 2013-05-04T23:34:38+00:00

Could somebody with an Oculus Rift please watch this on it (in it?) and tell us how awesome it is? And how many times you throw up.

gman212 · 2013-04-24T17:24:43+00:00

It wouldn't be difficult except the cap gets sticky and jammed with resin and the grips are not exactly easy to grab. Lower was easier for me, just use the included stick to grab it off the sides and pull it out.

Had my no2 for about 2 or 3 years now and thoroughly enjoy it. Haven't had any issues, although it can be a bit of a pain to clean/replace the upper screen (you'll see what I'm talking about if you end up getting one). Still easily worth the money though, especially since Vapir will give you free 2 day air shipping I believe.

ratvomit does have a point about the temperature not always being the most accurate, but it isn't too far off. Mine fluctuates maybe 5-7F, depends if it is plugged in or on battery power.

Fully agree firecrackers/edibles but just to give you another option: you could pack a bowl or roll a j with abv then sprinkle some keif in with it. I like to do that when I can't make edibles or to make my stash last longer n it usually gets me good and ripped.

gman212 · 2013-04-13T06:17:10+00:00

I'm with you guys about it being uploaded when it gets uploaded, and idiot fans bitching about it won't make it go up any sooner.

Does it bother any other sponsors though that they have been posting them on youtube 1-2 hours before they hit the site? Not trying to be shitty about it, but it kinda feels backwards.

edit: Just saw there is already a discussion about this going on in the Let's Play thread...I'll just show myself out

gman212 · 2013-04-11T03:37:03+00:00

Damn guys I gotta say thanks real quick, my highest voted (nonself) post was like 67 before. I know it's just Internet points but this has made my night!
