Had to walk from fuckin surrey to get home to abby, no cell phone.... worst night of my entire life, IAM FUCKED

what border crossing was this?....sounds like the pacific crossing

you know what, SAME thing happend to me(minus the search and drugs and all that).

i live in the valley and sometimes i like to drive around the country side next thing i know im right in the middle of that pacific crossing in aldergrove and if anyone knows what im talking about it just kinda sneaks up on you without any signs...granted i was kinda daydreaming out the window looking at all the beautiful farms and not really paying attention but still...

im pretty ace with border crossings and charming(selling) my way out of stuff so the us boarder guy just kinda smirked and sent me right around through the checkpoints back into the northbound line up.

- : Krazy! @ the VAG's Video Game section. (But the comic section is fantastic)

[ebbomega]

^ Was was so bad about the video games? Was it like Pong and Donkey Kong and that's it?

[Mr Ektion]

It was undersized. 1 giant hallway with about 20 tv screens in the middle facing the walls that displayed some of the popular games such as the GTA series, Civilization, SIMS, and Spore...

SPORE? What the? how can this game be in an exhibit before it's own release? The only section that was fully realized was the Spore section. With the exception of a projector displaying a grid of screen play from Doom, every other game had a couple of cutsie pictures and 1 paragraph write ups.

In comparison to the comic book, or graphic novel exhibits, the video game exhibit was a joke and more of an advertisement for Spore. The difference in the quality between exhibits was huge. the comic book section actually showed history and powerful pieces as their examples of the art form. There were pictures of a cartoonist's trial runs as he developed an idea or character. What was interesting to me was watching the idea progress. Like, I actually learned stuff!

The video games on the other hand had nothing resembling that. The closest thing was a showing of 3 different versions of GTA side by side. But without a proper explanation, the lamen wouldn't know the difference. I wanted to see every version of mario side by side and compare how much the scenery has improved in each mario version. I wanted to see stuff on Motion Capture technology, artistic improvement on the human body and image. 3D stuff and how it gets applied to games. In my opinion it really didn't have any artistic value.

DISCLAIMER.. the rest of the exhibit was good.

+no hitter for Lester in the bottom of the 8th

[Leviathan]

He has also shown his disdain for the Sox :)

I got a place 15 minutes outside of the city, in Waltham. I am going to be working in Watertown.

I had the option to get a nice apartment by the World Trade Center over looking the harbor but it is a bit of a pain in the ass to get to work.

Every time I see Fenway I can't take my eyes off of it, its a sweet ball park.

How was that being dumb? It was just a matter of getting lost, taking a wrong turn. Its not like Im a bad person, was trying to do anything like actually traffic drugs or hurt people...just the way things turned out. The situation was completely out of my hands...yeah I was drunk, too drunk, I fell asleep in the car while my sober friend drove. Im sure you've had some bad situations fall on your life at least at one point, and ones that you didnt deserve. Shit happens and sometimes to the wrong people.

It was the surrey/whiterock crossing...whichever its called...like I said Im not familiar with the area. I was too drunk to charm my way out of anything and it was a female border patrol cop on a power trip, I swear to God it could have been her first day on the job...she seemed like a newbie at it lol
