I'll start with the scam attempt before moving onto a more general update.

So some guy added me on msn earlier today and just came on and started a conversation that seemed normal at first, apart from the fact I've never played on PokerStars before.

[3:56:12 AM] kantoiki: which from what i read isnt that hard
[3:56:21 AM] Dylan: well
[3:56:23 AM] Dylan: how much
[3:56:24 AM] Dylan: do you get
[3:56:26 AM] Dylan: for 1 mill
[3:56:37 AM] kantoiki: like 10 bucks i think

So he didn't reply to my sincere suggestion to go build up play money to sell.
My attempt to convert a scammer to the good old fashion degenerate gambling way of life is obviously a sign I'm a good person.

At the moment I have him blocked deleted, any ideas for a reverse scam attempt/ getting him to do retarded things in the hope of a successful scam?

A friend suggested "make him take photos of his penis" but that strikes me as retarded and self-owning and I now have increasing doubts about my friends sexual orientation/ sense of humor.
So anyone with better ideas do suggest them.

Guess I'm extremely bored and November sucks ass so poker isn't taking up that much time since I'm taking a short break from it. Short meaning I should start playing again within the week.

Also I can basically beat most of hard on Guitar hero 3, short of the last 4 songs

which are just gay and I'm not sure I'm willing to practice each section of each song for 30 minutes each. So I'm just going to buy Assassins Creed and start playing that, or keep playing Dead Rising which I only started playing a few days ago.

Interestingly enough killing zombies constantly while playing a game with a story line that is pretty much that of a horror movie isn't all that scary. The game pretty much consists of "Frank" some journalist finding out whats happening and standard scene:

Those who know me will know I can't watch scary movies AT ALL and yet getting attacked by hordes of zombies and beating them with anything i can pick up seems like good fun.

Hell I watched the Sixth Sense and was so scared I had to cover my eyes and block my ears, manly no doubt right?

Oh, went to a friends Christmas dinner/Christian masquerade dinner thingy.
As bad as that might sound (yeah I'm an atheist/non-believer), it actually turned out to not be what I'd assumed initially and my friends and I had a good time.

Afterwards we somehow ended up at an African club/bar with huge amounts of err... booty is probably the nicest way to describe it and the average age was at least 7 years older than us.
Something like this:

However they played awesome music and the environment was very chill so we stayed for a while.
Will definitely have to go back to sometime during these holidays with more people our age which will be awesome.

Anyway probably to much to read and boring a lot of people so I'll end my update with a couple of videos that I've recently watched and thought were hilarious:

This one is from an American show Maury Povich hosts where women come in and get a paternity test done to prove if the man/which of the men is the father:

I also loved this one:

And people may have seen this but I've only recently watched it and its AWESOME as only japanese game shows can be:

Alrights, hope the read was bearable Good luck and those on holidays enjoy
