What's your pet peeve in RL?

[Raydeus]

Anymore? Don't you mean n... never mind.


Also, what kind of gamer spends money on booze he could be spending on games? I r teh disappointed.

[Murphie]

I can't even count myself as a gamer anymore. I own zero consoles. Zero games. Just a laptop and I never use that for gaming.

[Raydeus]

Where did we go wrong with you? How could we let you go down such a twisted path? We should have paid more attention.

Maybe we can still do something before you start talking about only using the internet for Facebook.

PS > How about starting by installing Steam.

There are some nice and cheap indie games you can play on virtually any computer on sale right now.

PPS > Heck I think I have a free copy of Portal on my account, if I actually still have it I could give it to you. It's light enough to run on most computers.

Armando, that's pretty much my opinion, but want to see what you think of one thing: Temporary, reusable burial plots. Essentially, you bury the body for some period of time, allow it to decompose (this is done without embalming), and then after that time passes you remove the bones and clean up whatever else is left over, put that in an urn or whatever other permanent resting place, just like with cremation, and the burial plot is open for use by the next corpse.

Temporary, reusable burial plots.

That sounds much less wasteful, but they'd probably charge you even more than a standard burial since they have to go through the trouble of digging up the grave. Also, whatever is left probably won't smell very good. It'd be a lot simpler to go straight into an urn and skip the coffin.

[Feba]

we're not talking 6 feet under plots, though; very thinly dug. Also from what I understand, because it is so shallow, it's something the family would handle, not a company. Seems to me like it's slightly wasteful from a human financial/time resources standpoint, but probably environmentally speaking superior (returning nutrients and so on to soil, as opposed to putting carbon into the atmosphere)

Murph: You should check out GOG.com

I downloaded Dragonstone, the original Fallout and Ultima IV for free. Most of their games are either free or dirt cheap anyway and take only seconds to download. It's a chance for you to play some of the classics and have a little fun for not a lot of money.

Steam, like Ray suggested is also a good idea. I know TM is always talking about how he has discounts with them and trying to hand them out all over the place. I even think I have a code or 2 lying around to get you some heavy discounts. Lemme know if you're interested. It might give you something to do.

I know you work a lot these days and don't have a hell of a lot of time to play, but if you wanted to... there are ways without spending a dime.

Alternatively... do you want one of my 6 PS2s? I'll ship it to you if you want. Don't ask how I have 6... just roll with it.

The wikipedia article for natural burial lists some national parks and preserves that support interment with natural decomposition. Googling for the phrase brings up many resources. Also, it turns out Jewish and Muslim religious laws forbid practices such as embalming and entombment, so there are should already be facilities in place catering to those groups that would support more eco-friendly burial wishes.

It might be worth noting that even natural decomposition is not entirely without ecological consequence. There's a certain amount of mercury in a human body, for example. I've heard there are fungi that can be used to break down or sequester these poisons, but they may or may not be native in all soils.

[Yygdrasil]

The Jewish standards of burial are to burry them standing up. That's why any time you pass by one of their graveyards, it seems all the headstones and footstones are really close together.

Thank you for the kind words.
They mean a great deal to me, Thanks xxx

What, no hugs?

[Raydeus]

It's ok Satori, Yggy is a furry, just imagine you are hugging one of your pets...




...and have a taser ready for when he tries to hump your leg. <_<;

So I was wondering why people are always complaining about DLC content.

I just bought used copies of Mass Effect 2, Mass Effect 3, and Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning.

I've hopped on the bandwagon and now I hate DLC too.

EDIT: Duur, Download Content Content.
