My Balls of Steel Edition of DNF arrived a day early. £17 not too bad I didn't expect it to be sealed either. Just wondering whether it should be opened or maybe left in the packaging. I didn't mind the game when I played it in the past but that's my opinion on the matter of the game.

Back in the day I originally wanted to get the Balls of Steel Editon, but I held off. Main reason may have been shipping costs or the delivery date, but after reading the news about the game, it was probably a good idea that I bought the standard version instead. Not to say DNF was a bad game or anything. Just that, if I'm going to blow that kind of money on a game, I'd probably save it for something such as Mass Effect 3.

One of the things I got talking about back in 2009 was when the west LRT line was finished construction (December 2012), that I was going go do some more golfing. As one of the stations is right next to a golf course. The courses opened up recently, so I was maybe thinking about checking it out.

Also been thinking about buying some clubs, but I'll probably rent to start off with.

My grandad spoke about taking me to golf once, I'd love to go at some point it's always been one of those sports that I've secretly loved to watch.

I'm no Tiger Woods. Normally with a good swing I can hit the ball around 200-225. Sometimes 250 yards if I hit the sweet spot. With custom drivers and woods, they have a bigger head and sweet spot, so you'll always get a really long drive. Putting and short game is kind of sub-par though. Probably should work on that. On most holes, I normally 3-4 putt.

I've been golfing since I was around 3-4, but I don't do it very often. Maybe only once or twice a year I'd get out to the course or driving range.

Well I'm no Kim Jong Il but I did get a hole in 2 (there's probably a golf name for that) my first time playing, but then again I'm an outstanding human being.

My computer area? It's my bed, heh. Not the best for gaming though I should really get myself a desk. My room is rather cluttered so that would be a difficult task putting a desk in. My desktop downstairs really needs an upgrade so hopefully I can get that sorted and record some decent demos.

It's mine computer area. I wouldn't mind you on my bed, though.

I believe he was talking to Cathy who posted his desk above.



"Having too many job interviews is a good problem to have." Someone remind me of this later, but after running around DC to go to two job interviews (one in the morning and one in the afternoon) with tearing my pants between (and buying new ones leaving my second interview) I am exhausted. I was going to make my little bit of Jameson last until I have a job (to celebrate) but I can't...I'm drinking it tonight.

Oh yes, I just saw the image not long before the post, that is one tidy set up.

Eagle

[High Treason]

I thought eagles depended on par?

For example, on a par 6 hole you would get an eagle if you putted the ball on your fourth shot. As far as I am aware;

Eagle -2
Birdie -1
Par ==
Bogey +1
Double Bogey +2
You're crap at golf +3 (or more)

I am probably wrong, I don't have an interest in golf, I do like Happy Gilmore though and I did buy Tiger Woods PGA Tour when I was about 13, but only to make women with the GameFace feature, at least until I wore the boob slider out.

[Master Fibbles]

No, you are correct. All things are based on what the Par is. If it was a Par 2 hole (which isn't likely, but I think they do exist), it was just par.

Friend came to watch Chicago-Minnesota. I'm not really in the sports now, but I liked it. And before that we watched Real-Borussia.

I didn't realize this until yesterday, but there are actually par 7 holes somewhere in the world.

There has also been a hole in one on a par 5. Although to attempt this, the hole has to be a dogleg left or right with a steep angle. No human could hit 500 yards.Well, maybe Happy Gilmore.

[Master Fibbles]

I've gotten to a point in my job searching that I've decided I can be more selective in what I apply to and which interviews I take. The fact that I've had 4 and I have 3 more scheduled for next week leaves me to think that I will very likely be employed soon and I should consider making sure that whatever job I get is one I like and could do for a several years (I am planning on moving out of this area in 5 years give or take).

So after 10 years with my girlfriend I went out today and bought an engagement ring, I'm going to ask her next Saturday, as we are going to an island for a weekend away to celebrate our 10 years together.

She will not see it coming as she thinks I don't like the idea of being married.

Now I just have to come up with an interesting way to pop the question.

[Sangman]

Awesome!

I haven't posted anything funny in a while so:

How about - tell Yatta to make a page "Will You(her name) Marry ME" and tell her to check out the link

either way, all the best

Thanks! It was a while coming I always wanted to wait a long time just to have something exciting and new deep into the relationship.

Ha Ha thanks that's a funny idea but I think something like that would be lost on her, I was thinking of finding a scenic spot on the island and asking her to take a photo of me with the horizon in the background, then as she takes the pic I produce the ring on one knee.
That way she gets a surprise and a cool photo to show the grandkids etc.

[Sangman]

I think you'll actually get a broken camera that way

[Kathy]

nah...
