Apparently my mom and brother got caught in crazy flash floods in Italy and had to run through raging flood waters to escape. Fuck. At least they are ok in Paris now, although there was some water damage to their electronics.
As I was running errands today, I was walking to my car and heard a loud crash in the streets. I saw a truck slowing down and saw a cloud of dust in the air, but couldn't see the cause of it.
I went into my car and drove out the parking lot to see this:
I guess as the truck turned, it was a bit too sharp. GG, truck driver, GG.
As much as I like BF3 in principle, I think that most of the time I keep playing simply because of some bizzare combination of "I spent 80 bucks on this, I'm not going to stop now, it would be a waste of money" and some sick form of pure, unadulterated masochism. I don't think I've ever felt worse playing a game in my life.
Justin Blaze Is that browser thing really that bad?
It's bad because it's horribly misused. If they were smart, they'd have just put the whole damn thing in the game. Or at very least put the ability to edit your load-outs in the battlelog. Churba, you and I will have to get a couple of people together and play Team Deathmatch. It's 4v4v4v4 and actually pretty fun.
I got drunk enough that ten minutes after I dropped a marker on the ground at a crowded club, I held it between my teeth. Likelihood that anything will come of that? Probably around 2%. Likelihood that it was fucking gross? 838%.

More of a rush and conquest man myself, but I'd be into that. Had a few decent games yesterday with Joe Boomer, Trogdor, and Pangloss - surprisingly, the lag was pretty tolerable for them despite playing on Australian servers, though I haven't tried it the other way around - though I remember it being quite tolerable in the beta when I was playing on some US servers. We'll have to see.
I agree with you about battlelog - if you consider by it's own merits, it's actually a pretty damned good system, snappy, plenty of statistics, everything is pretty simple to do or see. But it should have been in the game, not in the browser.
My game crashed, what, three times? And Joe Boomer had some trouble with that as well. It was good fun, sure, but it would be nice if it weren't acting like it were still in beta.
I do wish I could tinker with my load-outs via the web interface, but regardless it makes lunch breaks a bit more fun. I can see my friends' stats and whatnot from my work PC.

Yeah, I did notice that - the only time I had that many crashes - well, from actually in-game, I still have quite a few where it crashes while trying to join a server - was when I was trying to get Procaster to work with it, which apparently involves sacrificing bush wookies with the sharpened barrel of a GOL, under the light of a new tac-light.
On the upside, It's still better than the BFBC2 release. Now THAT was a fucking ball-ache and a half.

They might yet, but I don't know. I do know they've done a few updates so far, but most of them are subtle - for example, they improved ping measurement, and now when you're looking at a server's info screen, it updates automatically, rather than having to refresh to update.

I'm not sure what a Procaster is (and can't be bothered to Google it) so I'll go ahead and assume that's an aimbot. In which case:
