Overnight peoples (aka. Who's up?)
 

Ok, fine, I'll start it.
I'm almost always up overnight.
Damn 3rd shift no-life-having job. :P

Sticky this thread por favor.

and minor; did you buy your damn shootin iron yet?

to answer Paco, nope.. haven't bought the pistola yet.
I ended up picking up another rifle off my antique battle rifles collection list.
That blew my budget for another check or so. :zowned:

Sweet, another third shift fucker here.

Where've you been, bud? I've been working nights for almost 2 years now (and rotated nights & days before that)

Must have missed that. I'm only 6 months into the third shift shit, though it's my third job that's got me on these hours.

You'll either learn to love it or hate it.
I do both, depending on what we're talking about.
It's nice not having to deal with high call volume and day shift politics, but it has totally destroyed any semblance of a social life that I might have had.
Ask Zoomie... they almost never see me anymore.

I know how that goes, but my schedule is a little more relaxed. three days on, four days off. It's deal withable. And not having to deal with bosses and other shit ticklers who think they have power is another plus.

My job has made new shifts. Now I'm working 9p-5a. It's a weird shift but I like it better than the shift I was working (11:30p-8a). Now I can get home before daylight & be asleep before the sun rises. Plus it gives me a chance to take a nap before going riding after work. :D

It fucking blows. At first it seemed cool, then alright, now it just fucking sucks. Even though its the same amount of time it just fucks with your mind. I meen get off at 7. Go to sleep. And go back in at 10 that night, I'm like WTF i was just at work this morning. I hate my job. :panic:

That's one way to look at it, yeah.
11pm-7am here... 30-45 minutes commute at night, 45-1hr+ commute in the morning.
That's the worst part, I think.

7p - 7a. Half hour drive each way. Wake up at 5 so I can get some breakfast/dinner, take a shower, get ready for work, out the door at about 6:20 just in case traffic sucks (it does half the time), work, half hour drive home, sleep, wake up an do it again. Repeat every fucking Friday, Saturday, and Sunday because I'm per diem, so I have almost no say in scheduling, I'm the last one hired, so I have almost no say in scheduling, and the lazy pieces of shit I work with are good friends with the boss, so I have almost no say in scheduling.

Speaking of which, it's lunchtime.
Hooray for Boston Market frozen dinners.

I recently moved closer to work. Now it only takes me 5 minutes to get to work. It's almost not worth gearing up for, but at least I won't get near as cold commuting...I'm not racing down an interstate doing 90mph is 30ish degree weather. :lol:

This place really comes to a slow crawl at night. Where's the rest of the night crew? I'd hate to have to go back to video games.

Ok, I wouldn't hate it at all. :D

Dude... Fallout 3...
Just sayin' :whistle:

Just picked up Call of Duty: World at War yesterday and still need to finish Resistance 2. New games are on hold until I wear those down.

Boooo. Cod4. i is on now.

Resistance 2 looks like fun... love the commercials.

I've been playing Fallout 3 in lieu of my normal MMO games.
Starting to think I'm going to drop WoW and Anarchy Online (which I just re-upped to check out after a few years away)
I'm just not enjoying them anymore.
Fallout 3 is a blast, and I'm looking forward to Diablo III as well.

I think there's something wrong with me. I've been bored to death by Resistance 2. I've been trying to just trudge through it and hope it gets better, but so far it hasn't. I haven't played the online part of it yet, so I'm not writing it off entirely, but so far it barely holds my attention.

Nothing wrong with that :idk:
About like my problem with MMOs... a lot of them are just to similar to other games we've played and they just get dull.

I will solve your problem with three letters and one word:

PSP, Patapon

Did someone mention Diablo III? :D When is it scheduled to be released? :D

Yeeeah, like I have the spare $$ for a PSP or games for it right now.
I'm in gun buying mode...and when that's done I need to start thinking about upgrading my gaming PC at home.

I don't think any official date has been announced, but I've seen a few guesses putting it around Sept/Oct 2009.

From Blizzard:

My guess is Summer '09, but it might be Fall.

Omg. I will rape you noobs on some D2. God knows when D3 will be out.

I never got into Battlenet play.
I liked my hacks and tweaked items and such too much. :zowned:

wutcha talkin bout now fool.

Well, you were talking about pwning us at Diablo 2... that would be on Battlenet, right?

well duh. but you can still hackzors on b.net

Well, sure... but I'm an honest person and would never do such a thing.
:D

(besides... the 14 yr olds I'd be playing against would probably have superior hax )

Anybody still up?

My night is your day... it's 8 pm here so ya'll are just getting up... normally I'd post more... but just bought Fallout 3... bad ass fuck'n game...

Oh yeah, it's like Fallout 1 & 2 meets Oblivion.
Very nice.
The storyline isn't quite as compelling as Mass Effect or Half Life 2, but the quests and NPC interactions are good.

Woot! I'm off work & home! I may try to catch a quick nap before taking the Boy Teenager to school.

And I don't play b-net either. :p

Speaking of Diablo, would anyone happen to have Craftbot? I lost it when my computer crashed a few years ago & I never could find it online again. :(

I never played 1 or 2... so this is my first impression... disappointing to hear the other two aren't the same... I LOVE this game.... the storyline is pretty good imo... but I'm not a HUGE gamer... I just needed something to burn up my down time...

So its safe to say, You have no say in scheduling Correct?

And Gears of War 2 Also came out...BADASS Game.

I need to pick that one up. I spent my game cash on getting my PS3 collection started.

I was up but not online. :rant:

You could have texted me... :p

i work from 6am till 5 am on fridays (and early morning saturday), they are the suck!

I wasn't thinking :)

Bwah... almost that time again. :yawn:

what... for lunch? got a meeting first

I'm off tonight, but I'll be up late tonight. Rarely do I sleep at night when I'm off that night...unless I'm going riding the next day. :lol:

It's time...

que?

Beastmaster... that game was the shit!

But Contra FTW

oh snap altered beast! i feel old now.

lifeforce > contra buddy. sorry

Overnight thread. The third shift should be starting for those who are working or about to work. And then there's us poor souls who stay up into the weeeee hours.

This is like Playboy After Dark, only without the nakedness and the vapid bimbos, which I suppose is either a good or bad thing depending on what you're looking for.

so will this be the place for me to post about my insomnia??? :lol:

fuck that... ,^v^v<><>BABA Start FTMFW

It's here if you need it, though we're not stopping you from postwhoring it up elsewhere. :D

good to know

What code are you shootin? Only one BA in the Konami code.

pretty sure its up up down down b a b a select start

Select, Start is for two players.

yeah your right... it's two ba's though for two player and select before start

for two player that's it

troof. makes me want to dig out the emulators and pilot good old lord british against the bacterium empire.

Got a buddy with a still functioning NES and Contra. No emulators here.

so do i, but its a little hard to drag that many consoles to iraq for three years. most of them work flawlessly. only one that doesnt is saturn. and since they had to emulate five bajillion chips im not surprised

seriously there was nothing better than chilling in the sniper shack behind the fiddy and playing ocarina

My hours, generally:
8pm to 8am, outside, on the other side of the planet

not from me fucker!

hey do they still fly the F1 over there? id love to see that one ov these days

Fuck I just got done work...And I have to go back in three hours...WTF is this bullshit

make me a sammich bish

i hate flat tires :(

what happened Jarv? I just got finished with a school project from hell!!! Why do teachers insist on giving hellatious projects to kids and expect them to do it in 3 days? Tell Vicki that she better have mercy on us parents when she graduates or I'm coming up to new York and kicking her butt on behalf of all the frustrated exhausted parents of America!

i got a nail in my tire on my way home from my friends place, i just got back from wally world to get a plug kit and some slime now i need to borrow an air compressor so i can ride tomorrow night like i had planned

and as for vicki u can beat her ass as long as i can watch

Be careful riding with that slime shit and plug.

ya i know im probly gunna buy a new tire wen i get paid on tuesday and then just hold onto this one for a spare. but need the bike for work on monday and tuesday anyway so i still need to plug it

Hey man, I ain't trying to lecture or throw a guilt trip or anything like that, just be careful.

the thing that really pisses me off about it is that its a pilot road
so much for that harder compound

yeah, what Corey said! And don't worry, you and speedy can sit on the sidelines taking pictures while Vicki and I jello fight!

dude SERIOUSLY... get that shit replaced right the fuck away... don't trust that slime shit for anything!

I used it... told I was good to go... and was put back on the road... got impatient went to pass a car and the bike went ape shit... wigg'n around like a fuck'n stripper have'n a siezure... I was doing about 85 at the time... I rode it out and found slime all over the bottom of my bike... the nail came out followed by all the air and slime.

I was 100 miles from the nearest town in Alaska... with 1 bar of signal on my cell. shit sucked...

learned alot from that trip... mainly don't trust anyones opinion about being good to go if I don't feel comfortable with it... it's not good to go.

a patched/plugged tire is not to be trusted for more than limping around until it can be replaced

Slime sucks dick... and is a FUCKING PAIN IN THE ASS to clean off your bike.

People in Alaska will stare at you on the side of the road... but will not stop... unless they're already planning on doing so to take a picture.

it gets cold quick when the sun goes down in AK... 60 at 5... 31 at 8.


oh and yes... this may be common knowledge to alot of you... but I was told this by a very reputible shop that I went to to get my tire replaced... they didn't have it in... so they said... here... put this slime in... it'll be good to go... I even asked... for how long... he said... it's a perminant fix... the :bs: flag came on in mind... but I figured it'd last at least one day... nope

when u put the slime in the tire why did u leave the nail in?

because they told me it would seal around the nail... effectivly "cementing" the nail in. BS.

like I said... it was a stupid decision on my end to trust them... and I got burned... but shit... I've trusted the advice of mechanics many times... and come out way ahead... just this time... it was a very dangerous risk... and all for a joy ride... something I very easily could have pushed back a week.

just becarefull :2cents:

i understand where your coming from but at the same time ur not suppose to leave what ever is puncturing your tire in your tire and still ride hence the reason i got the plug kit plus the slime

gotta read the directions, but keep what you said in mind thanks

Sheesh... an hour or two and look at all the posts!

So... yeah, I'm at work.

well they did it... and like I said they said it'd bond or "cement" the nail in... and I'd not be able to remove it after. :bs:

you got seriously lucky
but hey live and learn

you ain't kidding... if I'd gone off the cliff I was riding by... no one would have found me... even if I didn't die from the fall... I couldn't have crawled back up... and no one would have even seen where I went off.

:panic:


but just wanted to pass on some prior experience with the shit... hopefully you'll have a MUCH better experience :wink:

Thanks for the safety note on the Slime stuff.
The only thing I know about it is that pretty much anything you put in your tire (Slime, Fix-a-flat, etc) will get you bitched out by whatever shop is changing the tire for you.

:werd:

uhhgg
2:50am and im still up. . . .

Haven't gotten much sleep in almost a week. . . .Dammit! ! !

I just got done with a marathon session of Call of Duty World At War, followed by a good hour or so of MotoGP 08.

Looks like everyone wandered off.
It's just you & me, Ebbs

Most nights stay up until 3 a.m.:whistle:

Today was night one of 4 in the ER. Kinda uneventful and even got a 2 hr nap.

Tom

No frightening vaginas?

Couple of bloody ones but they were pregnant so i got out of looking at them and sent them to OB:rockwoot:

Tom

Any bleeding vagina you can pawn off on some other department is clearly a win.
:dthumb:


PS. ...vagina...

(just had to say it again)

Got caught up in some World at War also, as well as Resistance 2. Still awake though.

I'm looking forward to getting a few quests in Fallout 3 done when I get home. I'm working 12's this weekend so I won't have any time to play until Monday.

well I was logged in... but as my TV is my monitor... I had it on HDMI play'n Fallout 3... so really I was gone too...

now I'm head'n to bed... and at 1005 on a friday night... shit I'm getting old :lol:

A bunch of guys on my floor have badass gaming PCs. I think they have all finished Fallout 3. Most liked it but said it was the exact same as oblivion. Anybody have COD5 yet?

Oooh ooh, pick me I do I do!

It's pretty darn good, but I'm giving the overall edge to COD4 on everything. COD5 is still an excellent game though.
