You can't? I bought Jarhead from Barnes and Nobles over a month ago. I had no problem finding it. It's a really good book so if you can't find it in the bookstores then just try ordering it online from amazon.com. It's a good read.

^^ Remember Riot, I live in the Philippines so I may have trouble finding stuff. :wink:
(I think I just zinged my own country)

Another gripe: I just found out that those WWE replica belts are damn expensive. It's similar to the price of a new gaming console! :shock: :x

The reason I want to have a copy of Jarhead is because I saw the trailer for the movie. The trailer was good for me, so I must read the book before I watch the movie.

But you probably will be dissappointed with the movie if you read the book first :?

I saw the movie, it is pretty good but I think the book is better. And this is coming from a guy who hates reading books.

That explains the great admiration you have for Bush.

ZING. :cool: :lol:
But Bush is an avid reader.
Even if the books he reads are children's books.

I was playing Counter-Strike yesterday and I joined a server filled with pinoys... Just thinking about it sends me shivers.

Also, I got this huge ass floor burns playing basketball the other day as well. :x

Good news is (hardly), you're not playing against Pinoy techies/geeks. For some reason, Pinoy uber techies/geeks here consider anyone playing Counter-Strike a spaz. :eh:

Counter-strike? Have you counter-strike source? It's much more fun. I play every day with a bunch of regulars at a college-based server. It's a lot of fun even though my scores are often 3-10 or under .500 :( , plus it has better graphics. The only thing about css is , they don't have the l337 Kr3w models in the game yet. They have about 4 models to choose from , 2 on each team :cry:

I'm not wasting my money on upgrading graphics on an already great game by itself. Sure it looks nice and pretty, but my graphics card sucks anyway so I won't be able to run it that well.

Counter-strike is probably the only game that I can seriously spank some newbs in. :D
