The music is pretty fantastic too. <br /><br />Well, the whole thing is fantastic. I had no plans whatsoever to replay this game - but this special edition has motivated me to do just that. A bit unexpected, really.<br /><br />I also think that every developer should play this game, bearing in mind that at the height of its development, Monkey Island had just 5 people working on it. <br /><br />There's a small lesson in there somewhere.<br /><br />Well, I'm off to seek my fortune!<br /><br />The Goose.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446932103172180245.post-62148132784173426902009-07-15T09:45:02.546-07:002009-07-15T09:45:02.546-07:00I've been riding for a few years. 3 years ago...I've been riding for a few years. 3 years ago I was in a serious accident where a dump truck merged quickly into my lane and I had to contend with him or the shoulder.

This motorcycle blog-within-a-blog is EXACTLY what I need.<br />I'm trying to motivate myself to give motorcycles a go, despite the danger and idiocy that may overcome me, because I just won't have space for a car over the next 6 years or so. Everyone I try to talk to about motorcycles was basically born wearing a leather jacket, and I can't believe that their enthusiasm is objective. <br />Though your love for motorcycles might be just as strong as the leather jacket fetus guys, I think I can take you a little more seriously when you drop motorcycle knowledge on us all.<br />So thank you for this...blogette?

I do agree though that it's dangerous, but living an otherwise safe and boring life, getting the adrenaline rush of riding a motorcycle makes it worth taking the risk. I've only laid my bike down once, and that was practicing emergency stops. I know it's far from the last time it'll happen, but I figure fucking something up one way or another and coming out alive is just a learning experience, and serves to make you a better rider.<br /><br />Jeff, I'd definitely dig if you made more motorcycle posts.

The short answer is that I think about my kid, and wife, and family, and friends, every time I'm on the bike. I let that also influence the way I ride. I can't imagine my daughter would actually *want* to ride, but, assuming she did, I would dread it and be against it, but ultimately would support her decision and do everything I could, in any way, to ensure that she knew what she was doing.

Someone pulled out right in front of him so he knew what was coming and just got up as high as he could. Went flying over everything. He was wearing a helmet which, despite not being strapped on, remained on his head and saved him from serious injury. Helmet didn't make it though.<br /><br />Fast forward to earlier this year. My younger brother traded for a motorcycle and was promptly told he would sell it or move out of my parents house. They ended up making a deal where he'd sell the bike and they'd forgive the debts he'd accumulated over the past 10 years. Have to say I was relieved...the kid never kept a single car he's ever owned in one piece. I knew I was going to get one of those calls if he actually went through with riding it.<br /><br />How would you feel if your kid wanted to ride?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11897324665699313816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446932103172180245.post-78516814961976150772009-07-14T20:29:06.292-07:002009-07-14T20:29:06.292-07:00First post is the old I know of this guy who died ...First post is the old I know of this guy who died in a motorcycle accident story. What is with this? I have been motorcycling for 25 years(since I was 4) and it never ceases to amaze how this is socially acceptable. How come no one has the urge to tell me some person that they know of died in a car when they find out I drive four wheels? The volume of deaths in four wheels is orders of magnitude higher but it would be in poor taste to bring that up in mixed company. Usually when these people are pressed they did not even really know the person other than in passing. Yes people die on motorcycles, even a friend I KNEW but this is a life style. I hate using that phrase but it seems to be one people understand. I will always, as long as my body allows, have some form of two wheels to ride. The Darwinist in me does not want to here your squid stupidity stories awkwardly brought up at a party. Having said this I feel as though the world would be a better place if we all drove motorcyles. Transportation would be faster, safer and the gas consumed would be cut to 1/4 of what it was.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446932103172180245.post-65045069275658793592009-07-14T20:28:32.144-07:002009-07-14T20:28:32.144-07:00(referring to the above post, which was mine)
