The worst part about working on SRS was they were testing Tales of Symphonia at the same time and I really wanted to be on that project instead. There were some really cool bugs though, like being able to draft off other cars so frequently that you would eventually outpace the game's ability to draw in the track and would be racing on basically nothingness. The "girlfriend videos" basically made everyone feel really uncomfortable all day long.

Considering how many people I've seen pee in public, I'm sure one day I'll see it at a station.

First warm weekend of the year, out walking the dog, down to Bloor for some bubble tea, we see a guy peeing literally five steps north of Bloor (near Bathurst). If he turned the wrong way, he would have peed on one of the dogs. Toronto, please. :(

...and I choked harder than anyone has ever choked in their life. :(

But seriously, that was a great finale, and mad props to Anony for securing that victory. I am not worthy. Thanks to krae for organizing this and handing out some cool prizes.

That was so well organized, I was actually impressed. If you're in Toronto and not going to the meetups, definitely missing something cool. Bunch of very friendly people.

Thanks again for the meetup Krae_man. Had a fun time with speed runners.

Winning the box was nice. The E3 stuff inside was a surprise.

I made sure to make it rain with the Pay Day 2 fake money.
