It's OK. Not an absolute must-see, but worth watching if you're up for an cop thriller with some S/F elements.

In many ways it reminds me of Heroes, except without the super-powers obviously. If that sounds fun, you'll probably have a good time watching it.

I've been using all of exodia's and EE's packs, along with the random girl expansion by (I think) sgb.  I haven't tried any others yet - I haven't had time to play lately, and I'm kind of just biding time until the next release.  This one isn't exactly unplayable, but its annoying enough that I've chosen to spend my insufficient free time on other, equally unproductive, endeavors.  Like Mythbusters...  I love that show, since I can do nothing for three hours straight and still feel like it was a good use of my time, since I learned something.  Even better, I generally learned something that involves explosives, fire, large fast-moving objects, or something equally dangerous to the health of myself and everyone around me.

Can I just say that having the f*****g Flu f*****g sucks the sweat of a dead donkey's balls?

And the f*****g doctor won't f*****g give me f*****g Tamiflu because they're "reserving it for H1N1 patients."  That's a giant, festering pile of bullshit right there.  I was tempted to tell the doctor to go suck a bag of c**ks when he gave me that line, but I hadn't quite developed the symptom where my internal foul language censor shuts down.

[/rant]

This message has been edited due to language.  My f*****g internal censor is f*****g offline until I get over the f*****g Flu.

Hey, there's worse things out there.  The flu isn't so bad - it knocks you down for a couple days, and then you're peachy.  It's actually better than a large test, in that regard - you normally are knocked out for more than a couple days on a serious exam, and you aren't done with the pain even after you've taken it...  you still have to see the *grade*...

Well, tamiflu is a vaccine, so it wouldn't do anything to help if you already have flu, it's preventive measure. Also, depending of what type of vaccine it exactly is it could even make things worse since your organism is already affected by flu :).

Trying to get a vaccine after having already got sick is like getting a flak vest after being shot.
Sure, it'll help for next time, but it ain't going to do squat for the current situation.

Tamiflu is not a vaccine, it's an antiviral treatment.  It helps prevent the virus from spreading, but it's only effective within the first 24-48 hours.  Those who take it usually get better faster than those who don't - and the frakking doctors wouldn't let me have any  >.<

There is a herbal product called Echinacea that studies have shown to reduce the severity of colds and flus and reduce the amount of time your by on average 2 days. Its very good stuff and best taken on the onset (first signs) of sickness.

Oh, yeah...  it was absolutely stellar.  Best part:  the noseblood section tickets were only $30, with a perfectly decent (if far-away) view, and the concert lasted three hours.  Ten bucks an hour for a concert just blew my mind...

I should've taken pictures, but all I had was my phone - and remember, I was way up in the boonies.  They would've been crappy to begin with.
