Why not a game of Def Con?

I have neither the time nor the inclination to play "video games" anymore.

That's the OLD BEN.

Nothing against DC. It sounds like a fun game and I am sure I will buy it one day.

But Christmas wiped me out. I can't buy any video games until the February timeframe at minimum.

At which point I'd be happy to Defcon it up with y'all.

You're whipped

OK, I am sorry. I didn't mean that. You're not whipped.

I am curious as to why you swore off playing a computer game with your buds once every six months, but if no details are forthcoming I understand. We're your friends here, Pinner. You don't have to explain yourself to your friends.

Be nice and all, but not necessary.

But it would be nice.

I get up, walk the dog, feed the dog, make coffee. Then I drive an hour to an hour and a half to work. Then I work all day. Then I leave at 6:30 and drive for another hour, hour and a half to get home. Then I have just enough time to have dinner, kick the dog, spend some together time with the little lady, maybe read for a half hour, and then it's bedtime.

Where do I fit in "play video games" in that schedule, huh? Where do I do that?

WHERE?!

Jesus, Barry, Mother of God - you're commuting three hours a day? What the Christ? I shut things down, socially, when I was commuting 150 minutes a day each day.

How many miles from work are you? I know California traffic is bad, but... wow. And you just moved, too. Is there any relief in sight? I mean, having just moved you are probably there for at least a year, I'd imagine.

A lot of times you have moved apartments and changed jobs. Everyone will understand the next time the latter happens. Good grief.

Trash would have to have a new rating for you.
PING: 227
PLAYER RATING: 450
QUALITY OF COMMUTE: -457239001

Awright, Pinner's out, nothing we can do. Who's in??

I would say 150 is a reasonable average for what I'm doing now.

How many miles from work are you?

35.

This will probably be the situation until October, at which time there will be some flexibility with regard to the lease and stuff.

Everyone will understand the next time the latter happens.

I already left this job once. If I do it again, bridges will, in fact, become burnt.

All right, shut up everyone, I've recently learned that Trash:

1) Has a Facebook page
2) SPANIARDS have taken it over

Well, I'm not going to just lay down in a pile of garbage and let that happen, although that would be fitting with theme. Join me, won't you, as I practice my college Spanish on the Trash RTS page and pretend to be Spanish!

That's remarkable and hilarious. And even more remarkable that there's still apparently a thriving community for the game.

REMARKABLE.

All I can say is, a mesma coisa, funciona igual.

What I have done is to specifically create wastebaskets which are marked "Recycling only, no trash" and the one in the kitchen which says "Trash Only." These can then be emptied into the mail recycling bin and trash bin outside. This is how I make sure my trash is properly...

Oh wait, you're talking about reviews of a game named trash. Ohhhhh.

Never mind.
