Got a speeding ticket last night, and all I can say is I'm quite glad I've researched how to handle being pulled over and I handled it perfectly. It didn't hurt the NYS Trooper was such a nice guy, and I was completely upfront and honest with him, and he told me he rewards that kind of honesty. Even with that, the night still ended well.
Glad you are in one piece and all that. Having a nice police officer (aka one that treats you as a human) helps tremendously!
I'd had around 5 drinks over about 2.5 hours. So I had something like 2-3 drinks still in me, technically. Now, I think my body processes alcohol faster than most people, or I just hold it better. The person I was following is size-wise much smaller than me, and she'd had more than me. However, we were going fast but weren't being reckless. No one was around. But it was 66 in a 40. I still say that stretch needs to be AT LEAST 45 and more like 55 but whatever. Nope, the trooper was a great guy and really cut us a break. I'm gonna look around for a defensive driving course I can do. I haven't done one in five years or so, so I'm due to do it again. It's just finding the time is the problem...

If I ever get asked to step out and walk a straight line, it won't matter if I've been drinking or not. I am a big, kinda klutzy guy. I can't walk a straight line to save my life!
-
Yeah... be careful out there! <insert don't drink and drive rant here>.
Like ThanksAJ, I'd fail a field sobriety test because of my hearing, lol. I can walk a straight line and even stand on one foot.... But the moment they tell me to close my eyes, it's game over.

I'm always careful and I know my limits. My common practice is drink as soon as I get to the <insert restaurant/bar name here> and I usually hang at most places a minimum of three hours. So I try to make sure I don't have any more than two or three drinks still in my system by the time I'm leaving, which I can handle well, and I'm a bigger guy, so I have a much higher tolerance than most people as it is just because of my sheer mass.

HUH, I don't know when I'd actually sit down and play any of those.. but damn that's a good price
-
Almost none of them are a style that I would play. KOTOR, yeah, that's my style. But most of these are action which I just don't get into. The price is so good, though!!

I can understand that... but the Jedi Knight series is really fantastic. Been forever since I played it.

I've never cared for StarWars.

I loved it as a trilogy 1977-1983. Since then it has become a mockery of itself and isn't the quality that it started out as. I like it as a story but do not like it as a gaming universe. That KOTOR did so well working with it was really impressive. It was sad that the effort of KOTOR was put into such a cheesy and limiting universe, though. The need to work without those constraints really put a damper on the game.
The same team made Mass Effect without the Star Wars universe limitations and the difference is fantastic.

I been playing ME2 for the first time ... Got it in one of the Origin Bundles a few weeks ago. It seems to be quite fun so far. I really enjoy the story line.
I really enjoyed KOTOR and KOTOR 2 also.

I assume you've played ME already?
-
ME2 is a lot of the glue in the series. ME3 is the most adventurous of the series, IMHO.
-
@scottalanmiller Sadly, no, I have not . I got ME2 as part of a bundle... I will likely get ME1 and 3 the same way, or get them off of Steam or Humble bundle should I stumble across some extra $$.
