I'm an Aussie and have been in New York for the last 6 months and all of this is pretty accurate. I spent a little time in LA and just didn't really 'get it'. It's so big it's hard to really call it a 'city'. New York is great. Food is great, people are great. I feel much safer walking around late here than I did in LA (though I didn't spend a lot of time there). Every day I'm still baffled at how unkept and bad the trains are here. Also, why are the streets so dirty? Clean that shit up.
Reading A little history of the United States in the lead up to me moving there with my wife at the end of April. Really enjoying it so far. Seems pretty balanced and is really easy to pick up and not feel like I need to re-read the last 5 pages to know what's happening.
It seems like the crypto currency bubble has popped. Over the last 24 hours the market has gone down about 20% to 30%. China is steering to an outright ban on trading and South Korea is also clamping down. This is terrible news for people who are stuck with bags of coins but great news for gamers as it could mean that we will see a decline in demand for gpu's by miners. I expect Ethereum will be under heavy downward pressure for the near future so maybe soon we'll see a influx of unsold GPU's as well.
Hmm, I had been listening to the hotspot a few years before Giantbomb, so I was super happy that the gang was getting back together in 2008. In 2008 I was 16. wow. I was working at a pizza shop which was a funny, dumb job. Since then I finished high school, finished uni, lived in China, lived in Korea, got engaged, got married and now I'm set to move to the states in 3 months. LIFE.
I listened to the bombcast and tried to watch everything the guys put out along the way. This website is awesome and you guys are awesome. Here's to another 10!
