Why is it that whenever I attempt to do a system restore on my work computer it always fails? I am an admin and everything but it won't allow me to restore it...
I wasn't here.

Some people talk because they have something to say. Others talk because they have to say something.

You know, despite being obvious that the game was kicked out the door so as to be released in time for christmas (the game is buggy and has some odd design choices), Tomb Raider Underworld is probably the best Tomb Raider to come out of Crystal Dynamics.

Mind you, the fact that it doesn't have quick time events gives it a huge head start.

Funnily enough, my mother (who baked the cake) asked if I didn't want for it to have a smiley face or something :P

Also, fly away little soul:

I watched this and I'm quite surprised how slowly the secret service (or whoever was supposed to be protecting Bush) reacted...I mean the guy got both shoes off with a few seconds in between.

Also, to the shoe thrower...you might have practised your aim :wink:

Think of the possibilities besides cakes; Yorkshirewinians, bakedwininians, shortbreadwinians. You could get a whole meal with enough planning :P

The guy wasn't really trying to hit or injure Bush. This was basically the Middle Easter equivalent of mooning him. It is designed to be a rude gesture or insult, not an assault.
