To be honest, at that point in time I wasn't really a smoker, and I don't think I went out there to smoke, but more to talk to one of the girls that went outside. I have since then quit smoking, 6+ months and counting, *please keep the applause down* and have stopped going out to the bars as often.

But anyway, SB I'm glad you got everything worked out, and even if you don't take my advice, make sure that however things turn out you make sure that if and/or when it ends(for you) that it works out to have all been to your benefit.

I never met two of my grandparents because of smoking. I am applauding.

I realize that I might wind up learning a hard lesson here, but I'm going to keep it short but sweet, do only two nights a week and just hang fliers up once. That's it.

I won't be directing people there personally, nor will I be continuously be their PR guy after the initial ads. Believe me when I say that my inherent distrust of people is still quite strong, so I'll be certain to draw the line if they ask for any more than what I volunteered.

We held the first Wii night tonight and it went splendidly. We basically had a group of 7-8 people who were just planning on staying for dinner playing all night, buying drinks while they did. The Wii more than proved itself in one single night. It was awesome.

I don't think I should have a problem if we do it two nights a week, but anything more than that will be a bit much.

And my grandmother spent the rest of their life with lung problems because of constant smoking. I too applaud the effort.

As for the Wii Night, congrats!

Great to know everything went fine. What nights are you doing the Wii Night thing? IE, on what days of the week?

[Artimus]

As someone whose father died when he was seven due to lung cancer...I too applaud quitting smoking. I don't personally know how hard it is, but I know it's perhaps the hardest thing you'll ever do. So good on you! Plus, it's never too soon to quit (my father found out he had cancer a couple months after quitting).

[BlackNMild2k1]

i was never addicted, a quit cold turkey w/o much of a problem.
I would often emptty a pack out in one night if heavily drinking, but quite a few of those cigs would be given away to other people - "Better your lungs than mine".

I was mostly just a social smoker, so I never really had cravings unless someone else was smoking or I was drinking. I cut myself back to only smoking when drinking, then I quit drinking for a few weeks so that there would be no cravings for nicotine at all. Now if I even think about smoking(or hang around a smoker) my lungs will hurt (the next day), and that makes for a pretty strong reminder to NOT SMOKE. I feel better, I smell better(never really noticed how bad a smoker stinks), and can breathe easier. Its a good feeling and I encourage all my other friends to quit smoking too.

[Ceric]

Good job BnM.  Glad your not smoking.  A hobby like smoking, especially socially, can easily become much much more expensive then are "expensive" gaming hobby.

[Ceric]

I don't even know how this time.

BNM - you used to be cool.  Used to.

NICE!

I need to quit smoking cigarettes myself, I'm down to only buying loosies at 3 for $1, so I only smoke 3-6 a day instead of the 20 I used to.

[Smash_Brother]

I'm totally in favor of legalizing it.

The harder stuff, though, it just a bit too scary.

[Kairon]

Danger Smash_Brother! Danger!

Politics! Politics!

Warning! Warning! AAAWOOOOOGA! AWOOOOOOGA!

BEEEEUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRNNNNNNN (<----foghorn)

...

YAnyways, with regard to this whole business of getting other people Wiis and setting up tournaments S_B, don't think you can fool us. Your curmudgeonly ebenezer miser act is good, but we see right through it to your golden Nintendo fanboi heart!

With that sort of money you could help a child in Africa or get life insurance.

Or a make a twenty minute phone call.

So everytime someone buys a PS3 game to atone for it they buy Wii Play.  It makes perfect sense.  

[BlackNMild2k1]

I think you have it backwards. [edit]<I don't need to kick sony while they are down, the numbers speak for themselves>[/edit]

[Ceric]

Then we find out the the cost of the Wii in Japan just so happen to make enough profit for Nintendo to totally cover the cost to produce a Wii Play Wiimote Bundle.  Hence like giving someone a player with no media they hope that the curiosity to use what they have will get them to purchase a Wii thus recooping their loss and enhancing there attach why they are Wiiless.

Its diabolical.

[BranDonk Kong]

I was kind of worried when I saw the worst selling PS3 game had 3,000 in sales, and the worst Wii game had 1,000, but then I noticed PS3 only has 23 on the entire list, and Wii has 38...and PS3's #23 = 3,000, and Wii's #23 = 19,000. The attach rate is especially devastating for Sony when you figure there are twice as many Wiis out there, technically selling 4.5x the amount of software as PS3.

[BlackNMild2k1]

why does it keep double posting?
