Seeing as the quality is better than standard radio, I'm not sure what your complaint is. Unless, of course, you are a music elitist who refuses to listen to mp3s unless they are 192 VBR -ape.;)
I'm a Baton Rouge resident, so I can only partially understand where you're coming from.(For non-locals, Baton Rouge is a 30-45 minute drive from NO) I second that gaming is a good way to take your mind off things. Also going to heartily second that the people are great. When friends come in from out of town, the first destination isn't a museum, or the Aquarium of the Americas, it's just "New Orleans." The entire damn city is awesome, the fun literally never stops. I'm going to read through the sample of the sourcebook and pray that they managed to grab the spirit of new orleans, and not just bourbon street/mardi gras. Ooh, and I also hope they managed to get some locals(from different ways of life) on board to help them out, so that they get things from multiple perspectives.
Was there any point to posting a link to your personal site, or just blatant advertising? I mean, you've got it under your username, in your sig, and yet you still feel the need to post it in the body of your reply?
"College students entering the building. Jerk them to the liquor aisle, stat!"
"Nerds with video game shirts, send'em to the chip and candy section, roll out 2 carts of doritos!"
That kicks ass man, you are a lucky, happy man. I guess I should specify that my advice mainly applies to those in college, since girls don't realize geeks are good people until they are about to graduate. In saying that you need to go stealth, I should have clarified that you don't keep it bottled up forever, you just introduce it to them gradually, so one day you are just another cool dude who likes computers, and the next, they are screaming at you for not keeping them alive in a WoW instance:)
You are one of the lucky few. Now me, as a stealth geek/fraternity member/EEC major/network admin, I spend most of my spare time preying on single moms.
And this preceeding series of comments shows that, despite the fact that geeks could be better lovers, far too many are sitting at home in their basements.
You poor, poor bastards. Any geeks reading this, if you are still in college, try dressing in non-black, non-nerdy tshirts, join a fraternity, get a social life, and become a stealth geek.
Then go to other websites today, instead of crying in front of your computer here. I'm fairly certain, although I may be wrong, that other websites than slashdot, and it's targets, that do exist.
Eh, don't feel bad about it. I played for about 2.5 years casually(99-late 01), and barely hit 46. No kids, just a girlfriend and pretty decent social life. Now that I'm back in college/working fulltime, I have no time for gaming. I wish I hadn't had to cancel my city of heroes account, that was a pretty fun game over the summer.
Damn dude, I bet it took you forever to hit 60 and kill trak.

Don't forget folks who read Infinite Jest and tell people about it. Especially if they've read it like 6 times now and the little companion book and still don't know what the hell is going on, other than satire on top of satire.
Hey there buddy, be nice to Mr Bass, he puts up mirrors for game patches, and doesn't bitch about the bandwidth bills. Hell, I think I got wolfenstein:ET from his site, at good speeds to boot.
Damn, lots of ULL people posting here. I go to LSU, but my good friend Mat is a CS major at ULL, I gotta talk to him and see what he thinks about this class, although I don't think he's taking it right now.
I am a longtime users, I began with 10 PRINT "hello" on an appleIIe, then to QBASIC.EXE, and now "notepad.exe." I defy you to deny me my place as a chosen one!
Slashdot Mirror
I hereby stand corrected, it sounds like a few of my assumptions were incorrect.

I'd like to say, as a fellow gamer who tries to avoid the horrible stereotypes that many gamers get, please refrain from saying "pwned" ever again.

It's ok, the shover robot can push grandma down the stairs.

I guess I'm not a very good slashdotter, I'm in a real fraternity and everything :(

You're replying to a guy who's homepage is a "how to make money from google with adsense" page. Not a tough nut to crack.

Forget the space battles, I want the battle room! Also, the giant's drink game would be rad as a mini-game.

Well, the slashdot cliche for everquest involves poopsocks and child neglect, and the dead horse will never stop being beaten.

Ohh, it could be Kagome too!
So you are dating Motogo Kusangi or Kikyou?

Yeah, the source code's probably too much to fit on a tshirt like decss.
It's motherfucking POGS up in this shit, with poker tossed in. Hello 1993 and 8th grade all over again.
