What a tremendous game. This was definitely a game that left me going "man. unbelievable." I felt like I was part of the game. I mean, it was just unreal to me at the time. I remember seeing previews for it and finally getting the 3 disc set and just never stop playing it. It was awesome. I can't describe it really. I recently bought an old playstation just to play this game and have started doing so again. It's easily the best game I've ever played. Without a doubt.
Take my word for it, I'm a seriously fucking technical guy. I offer as further evidence the fact that I'm posting to Slashdot on the Linux holy war at 9pm on a Saturday night.
Slashdot isn't just a linux focused news page. As you've read it covers anything from robots to world hunger. I don't think it will be too much competition, not in the sense of replace slashdot all together anyhow.
During years between 15-17 I consumed an obnoxious amount of coke. I would at least go through a 2 liter a day. It wasn't good at all.
At one point my best friend and I (on a PHP programming spree of course) consued FOUR 2 liter bottles of coke in a 6 hour period.
During the winter of this past year I went to go Ice Skating. I was just running to the rink when all of a sudden my heart went crazy. Going 1 thousand beats per minute it felt like. I honestly thought I was having a heart attack.
My best friend felt my chest.
"Oh my god dude. We need to get help."
Well, I sat there for a few minutes and took a few deep breaths.
Ah, there we go. Kicked back in normal.
Over the period of the next 3 or 4 months, my heart would go out of beat reguraly. It would throw extra beats in here and there. It really scared me bad.
Meanwhile, to try and get it off of my mind, I drank coke and worked on the computer. Dumb mistake.
I went to the doctor and he put me on a heart monitor just to make sure my heart was acting weird. It was.
I went to the local hospital and got an EKG done. Everything _looked_ fine which was a good sign.
The doctor there says to me:
"You drink much caffeine son?"
"Well, yes, I do."
"Stop. Drinking too much caffeine causes extra electrical reactions in your heard and that is what is throwing your heart out of beat."
Man was I relieved to know what was going on.
I stopped drinking caffeine and within a week I felt back to normal again.
Thank God.
I haven't had caffeine since last November. I feel better than ever and am glad to not drink it. It's easy not to have any these days. Just say no.

We should have a 'Sad' tag for that.

Uh? Is it too much work to just read the manual? Why should manufactures have to spruce them up?
i was so close. :\
