Happy thread because Breaking Bad is awesome but..

Spoiler: season 4 but not rally spoilerish (click to show/hide)

Why is Walter White such a moronic anti-social ass-hole? I'm really hoping he get's killed now so we can focus on actually likeable or at least capable characters :/

...What likeable characters?
It's funny how, now that I think of it, there weren't really any characters I liked in the show apart from Saul, and yet I still enjoyed it so much.
Must say something about just how good a show it is.

My happy: Just walked back 2 kilometres back from the supermarket carrying a huge value pack of bottled water- 24 bottles in all.
Not actually sure how much it weighed, but far too much to carry easily. The happy part? It was much easier this time than last time.

So apparently I'm in the market for an electric guitar now. My friend wants his bass back, and wants to set up a thing with the two of us and a third friend of ours. Looks like I'll have to trawl Craigslist for an instrument that doesn't suck and won't break my wallet- is it even possible to get one in the $50-$70 range?

I thought bass was neat, but if I go this route, I'll only have to shell out a fourth of the money for strings so I can set it lefty.

A $50-$70 is unheard of in Australia, so unless the guitar market in Murka is compleeeetely different or you get supes lucky that's unlucky. Also, even my $200 electric was a piece of shit; you'll want to spend a few hundred (again, in Australia, don't know about America) in order to get something decent.

Also, play right-handed if you are at all able to reverse yourself. I'm a lefty in most things, but I play guitar and bass right-handed; means I don't have to pay even more (!!!) for instruments, because it's not a case of 'reverse-the-string-order' for anything electric unless it's perfectly symmetrical, and even flying Vs and Les Pauls have knobs, pickguards and cable jacks to worry about.

Also, at least for me, the dominant hand has more finger strength and the other precision. Meaning I have to train my fingers in other hand's strengths as righty.

Hereabouts you can pick up a decent Cort or similar electric for R2400 (about $240 at the current exchange rate), but the American market may differ, and you may be able to get a better deal off Cragislist or what-have-you.

I like Jesse, and Walter sometimes, but every time they split off I'm usually more invested in whatever Jesse is doing and I don't really care about Walter's storyline.
Also let us not forget the most important character.

Saul, Jesse, and Hank are my favourite characters. Gus also becomes kinda likeable. Sure, he kills kids but he also want to kill Walt so he's cool

The show is basically about how Walter becomes the villain. Notice how all his problems are his own damn fault. I agree that Jesse, Saul, and Hank are all great. Gus is also pretty amazing just in terms of how creepy he is.

I guess I'll be doing Logic as well as Geometry and Topology next semester. Life is good...

[SalmonGod]

Loaded up Brutal Doom for the first time this morning, and ran through the first level of Doom II before work.

Why did I wait so long to do this.  It's full of HUGE GUTS!

Going to LAN this with the kids tonight.  It will be great.
