A couple of times Steam had failed to load properly on startup. It doesn't appear on the tray, or it does, but not until 10 minutes or so after startup. Trying to run from the Start menu prompts a dialogue telling me it's already running, and indeed a process is visible on the Task Manager. And then tonight, while it seemed to load okay, TF2 wouldn't launch. First it hung on the message "Preparing to launch TF2" (I hit the launch then went to bathroom and returned to find it still "preparing") When I cancelled that and tried again, it told me the game was unavailable or couldn't be launched, or something. It's now taking its damn time "Updating Steam Platform", and has dropped the download twice. Trouble on their server making it drop, or dodgy connection my end? |

I only suggest the usual, check your connection is working prompty. If you are wireless, directly connect. Check the software is not being blocked by a firewall or antivirus. Try doing the whole Verify integrity of game cache on TF2 to check if the game itself is the problem. |

*sniff sniff* I wanted to be there... :( But looking at the pictures, and seeing Pix's video, I can tell it was a fabulous day! ...ok jealousy, you can go away now and green up someone else's life. You have the West Edmonton Mall's Galaxyland to keep you occupied (when I can afford it). |

It wasn't even going with the flow. It was more "All right, I'll take a couple of steps. Oh fine, I'll fall on my butt and slide. Whee!". I'm just disappointed you couldn't get us free Burger King. |

Australia? Should told us, the Adelaide Show is on and I managed to be there in spirit, but with my little brothers (and mother and some random kid) instead of a crowd of nerds and spent way too much money on quite questionable purchases. ...hey, that Princess Peach plushie wasn't selling well, I felt sorry for it. |

Did you not see the photos? If there were any girls with us, it would've seemed like we were stalking them. And by we, Jon/Pix. He would've been stalking them. |

I asked that when East bought lunch on his card and said you probably already know his PIN. Or as Jeff would say; PIN number. Which you type into the ATM machine. |

Posted Image As we queue for Rita, Pix contemplates devouring Lothar's entire head. Posted Image Loth is out of frame, but Pix is still thinking about it. Feldoon's disgust is palpable. D:< Posted Image Boo-urns for the no-coasters crew. Posted Image Another shot of the Tower O Hats. I like the jazz hands framing this one. Posted Image The gawkers ooh and ahh as Retro scales the wall. Posted Image Nemesis begins its ascent Posted Image And spirals overhead. Didn't get many shots of the rides, did we? You'd think since only 5 of us had the stones to go on Nemesis, the rest of em could at least take some pics while they were milling around :P Posted Image Pix, Jeff and Silv chill for a moment... Posted Image ...Retro, Met, and Feldoon look on and laugh... Posted Image ...As Pix gets mugged for his hat. |

The hat mugging was quite glorious. EDIT: Meh shots from me, but oh well. I didnt take much shots anyway and all the good ones were already shown. Posted Image The two sides meet and they knew how to settle their scroes. VITH MINIATURE GOLF!!!! Posted Image Posted Image SCIENCE!!!!! Posted Image This came out a little blurry so I apologise. This was like 2/3 of the way through the game and most of the tiles were placed down. |

It's why we led you into the woods. We were planning on mugging you. But no. What with your passive Roaming ability, you out-did us in the forest. |

Even your facist dictatorship would not have protected you had you tried to take the goggles. I still find that one of the highlights of the trip, standing with Pix and Met awaiting the others when I get a phonecall from Jeff. The side that Pix heard must have been weird. "Hey?" ... "Oh, hi Jeff." ... "At the monorail." ... "Yeah, we just got here, we've met Pix." ... "Hmm...nope." ... "Still nope, sure it's the right one?" ... "What do you mean can I see any facists?" |

Heh, I remember that. Look, if you see a fascist, a communist and an asain, you'll know its us. You can't miss us. Neither did the staff I suspect. |
