Thank you for your hilarious work.  I remember when you first started it way back, and it was quite amusing even then. 
 
Also, seeing drunk Brad on a couch in your main list reminds me that I should watch the Age of Booty thing again.  That thing was hilarious.

 Of all those options I choose Nintendo 64. I was playing WCW/NWO Revenge last night and man that game is awesome.  Also I beat THPS in under an hour and a half. Pretty good for not playing it in probably 12 years. I even remembered Rune Glifberg's specials.  I couldn't get my Blitz cart to work though :(

About damn time. I will be buying that for sure, just so I can use the 959. That was my favourite car in Forza 3.

Yeah I was in grade 2 really badly, so I told my brother (who was 6 grades higher up than me) and he and his friends beat the living crap out of the kid doing it and I heard a peep from the guy again. My group of nerd friends was teased a bit in high school but we just shrugged it off because the people doing the teasing were complete idiots, who surprisingly, now are stuck in crappy dead-end jobs instead of post-secondary education because their marks were so bad.

It all depends. I know several vegetarians (and a vegan) and they aren't judgmental at all when I eat meat and never even mention it unless asked. The only way you could tell is by looking at their lunch, they don't advertise it at all. However, it would not shock me if there are people who walk around on a high horse advertising their vegan views and trying to shame everyone else for eating meat. There's always going to be people like that; those who feel superior to others and like to advertise it, even though it just makes them look like a dick. The issue to me is when they make others accommodate beliefs without warning and getting mad when people aren't always willing to (I can totally understand the OP's situation with a person making kinda unreasonable demands even though there are a bunch of people in line. It is unreasonable for them to expect others to accommodate them in that situation). In reality, if a vegan person is so strict with their beliefs that they force others to accommodate them at restaurants, perhaps they should not eat at restaurants if they need to be that strict.

Go to Ikea, get 2 30"x60" tables and 8 legs and create corner desk out of those for under $200. Not only will you have a ton more space, you can also rearrange them as you wish. That's my setup and it's great. I can fit all 3 of my monitors and still have a quarter of a table left and then use the whole other table for working on school stuff. I spent a month looking for a actual desk like that and you aren't going to find anything cheaper, and most don't have nearly as much space. If you need drawers just get one of those carts and it will easily fit under the table.

Here's the link. I bought 2 of them and use them:

If you like them, check out Symphony X and Adagio. Both quite proggy, and Michael Romeo from Symphony X gives Petrucci a run for his money in guitar skill badassitude. 
 
    
  And here's Adagio, proggy in many of their songs but really symphonic as well.   This song isn't quite as proggy but is still quite fun. 
 
   
Sorry for going off topic, it's just when I see people who like similar music to me I must ensure that they learn of more music they might potentially like.

Like others on that list he died long before he should have, and maybe its my age showing but Randy Rhoads will always be my favorite guitarist.

Solid answer.  Better than the million people who said Frusciante, who's nothing special. Randy was hugely influential in 80s music.
 
For me it's a toss up between Jason Becker, Shawn Lane,  maybe Yngwie Malmsteen (because he has had a huge influence on shred, which was a huge interest of mine a few years back). 
 
Haha yeah right, like I had to even think twice.  For me, it's Jason Becker, any other option is just insignificant to me.  He is a musical genius but unfortunately he can't play anymore thanks to ALS.  He had the potential to be one of the best guitar players of all time but was hit with ALS far too young.  However, he's a fighter and has lived with the disease for over 20 years now and still writes music, even though he can only move a couple muscles in his body.  He writes it and gets his huge list of musical friends to play it for him.  There's already been a documentary on him and new one should be out this year.
 
I spent months (actually probably over a year in total. I came back to it a lot)  learning this Jason Becker song, and it made me gain a huge appreciation for the man.

So do I. 
 
So many fond memories of this game. I must have beat it 4 or 5 times by now.  It's a lot of fun.
