So I just heard that Peter Mansbridge is retiring. Kinda strange to see him going after so long.

So apparently the train between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur only costs about $15 USD. I have a week between Sydney and Yangon and am thinking I might try to do 3 days in Singapore, a day on the train, 3 days in KL!

I can't say I really know much about the city outside of the Petronas Towers, the fact it is the capital, and that it is on the mainland. But none the less I like to see as many places as possible. If I could restart my New Zealand trip I would have done it a bit differently, so I want to use that learning experience for the future. Won't get to see as much of Australia as I would like, but since it is much less expensive I will see what I can in South East Asia.

Man I don't trust those cinematics anymore.
KotOR is my favourite game of all time. I was a beta tester for the Old Republic and was happy to shell out a monthly subscription when it launched. I grinded all the way to max level and then...
The game just wasn't good. It was unfinished, it lacked content and it was highly derivative.
So yeah that's a dope trailer, but it doesn't move me anymore.

No kidding. In retrospect, it was a re-skinned WoW with absolutely no end-game to speak of... and I don't recall PVP being much fun, either. Completely wasted potential.

Not sure how it compares to NZ, but while most of SE Asia is fairly cheap, I don't think Singapore is. That said, I've never been there myself, so it may be possible to do on a tight budget.

I've got a friend studying abroad in Singapore at the moment. He said it's majorly expensive (in terms of COL) and fairly boring. The nice thing about Singapore is that it's a great home base - location-wise - when travelling around SE Asia.
On a different note, Yom Kippur in Israel is trippy. The entire country basically shuts down for 24 hours: no cars, no shops, no flights, etc.. I ran down the middle of a major road/highway this morning. Really cool.

Spent large amounts of time in Singapore while living in Indonesia.
This is exactly correct.

What are the best things to do in Kuala Lumpur?
On an unrelated note. Some friends and I had a draft for an anti-pool. 1 point for a gp, -1 for a goal, -1 for an assist. Probably the only draft Alex Chiasson will ever go first overall in.

That draft sounds hilarious.
We did a draft where we were not allowed to pick any player from the same team. It made it very interesting

Funky draft systems are so cool. I love that format, sask. Might have to try it out with my buddies sometime. I've done a grinder league with points for PIM/hits/bonus points for fighting majors. But never anything that crazy.

I've been meaning to do a draft like that in my spare time where it would be 20-25 players from different teams on each team. Would certainly shake things up. I mean Ovie and Holtby on different teams. No Stone and Karlsson together?
I got a 10week Maine Coon kitten... He's going to be a pretty badass cat... It attacks my other two cats already without fear... The amount of energy it has is pretty nuts too
My claim to fantasy sports fame is a first place finish in a league of 100 participants in a "backward" fantasy baseball league. The principle is similar to yours: positive points for at bats or innings pitched, negative points for good outcomes: hits, HRs, RBIs, runs, etc for a hitter, Ks, Wins, etc for pitchers.
It's very tricky, as you need to find everyday players (to accumulate positive points) who suck. You need defensive-minded position players (guys like Ryan Goins), inning-eaters (RA Dickey), especially on bad teams. Incidentally some of my best players on the year that I participated in were future Jays Josh Donaldson (full-time catcher for Oakland at the time) and Liam Hendriks (awful starter for the Twins at the time).

Yeah drafting goalies was the hardest part (-1 for a start, -3 for a shutout, +1 for a goal against). I took Varlamov and Talbot.

Electricity is really just organized lightning.
Pretty much how I summed it up. End game raids were meh, there wasn't enough of them. The world pvp was tacked on, and the world pvp planet was broken.
Huttball was an ok Battleground . . . but the whole gear system was messed up.
Wasted potential is by far the best way to describe swtor. Which is a shame

Whelp, if Game 1 is any indication so far (and the puck hasn't even dropped yet!), I think I'll be abstaining from GDTs again this year.
I just don't have the patience to put up with it. Maybe I'll see how it is by December 1st and re-evaluate then.

Oh come on, not even one game in and you're already losing your **** about GDTs, give the fan base a chance!
