Eh. If gambling isn't fun for you then don't do it. In fact if you don't like gambling Vegas is just about the ideal destination for you: all of that food, all of those shows, all of the hotel rooms, all of everything subsidized by people gambling.

The single most important thing I learned while in the Casino industry is this: "Don't sleep with the pit bosses girl friend." Tell Cindy I say 'Hi'

My point was that you have to tackle problems one at a time

That's kind of a silly attitude. If we only worked on one thing at a time think about how long it would take to get everything done.

keep in mind that IGN began by acquiring fan sites (n64.com, etc).

n64.com was always owned by IGN, although it wasn't apparent until the site became ign64.com. Read the response to the first question:

Journal Journal: The Fall of the House of Handspring

Journal by rascal1182 on Friday January 30, 2004 @09:45PM

So, I dug out my old Handspring Visor Platinum, because I thought I'd start using it again. I'm taking on too much at school, so I need to organize myself.

I finally broke down and bought Soul Caliber ('cuz I found it for $20 at Game Crazy). I have not been able to stop playing - my apartment is a mess and I have not done any of the work I was supposed to.

Journal Journal: Injuries

Journal by rascal1182 on Monday December 29, 2003 @01:19AM

My thumb hurts from playing too much Crazy Taxi today. Alas, the video-game-induced injury strikes again.

Thinking about it, my butt kinda hurts from sitting on my coffee table for so long, too. I should get some extension cords for my controllers (if they even exist for Dreamcast, I knoweth not).

My butt doesn't hurt quite as much as it did when I shattered my friends glass-topped coffee table, but now that I replaced it with Lucite, it should be AOK.
