Can anyone give me a legitimate reason for traffic jam during rush hours? Because it annoys the hell outta me that I'm driving on 401 from one end of Toronto to the other and we have slow down in around the 427 to 400, and from Allen to 404/DVP. Now, I can see why traffic jam happens when 400 or 404/DVP traffic merge onto 401 but really why should there be traffic jam in any other area?
But what annoys me even more are the stupid people that decided to SLOW DOWN AND LOOK AT SOMETHING THAT JUST HAPPENED ON THE SHOULDER. Buddy, it's just someone pulled over, or just some accident. WHY are you slowing down to look? Would you like people to look at YOU when you do something stupid like that?
Oh, and if you DO go on the highway and not keeping up with traffic, do EVERYONE a favour and STAY ON THE RIGHT SIDE of the lane. Don't drive 80km/h and hog up the left lane. YOU cause more accident driving THAT slow then people driving according to the traffic speed.
And I propose one thing that could ease up traffic, I propose a BAN on trucks on high way during rush hours, 7am to 9am and 4pm to 7pm. If ban is not a good idea then I propose that they are restricted to the right lane ONLY. No lane change, no express.

Are you a RPG, FPS or RTS person?
Each genre of game provide an interesting add to life.
I think life itself is an RPG. You work to gain experience (like leveling up) to become better (stronger). The only except is you do not run around with swords and/or magic staff to kill people. It would be awesome to have the ability to turn your boss into a sheep or a toad.
I play a lot of FPS. My favourite aspect of FPS is weapons that don't exist. I'm not much of a fan of war FPS like Call of Duty as I play the game to get away from reality and hence why I find it more fun to play Quake Live. Now, I wouldn't want to live a life where I am trying to survive but wouldn't it be cool to have a lightning gun? Alternatively, some of these games' physic engine are build so that the more hop and jump you do, the more speed you game. Do triple-jump athlete game speed while running and jump?
So, back to weapons... another favourite game of mine is Ratche & Clank series on Playstation 2 & 3. I really don't need to explain, just watch the following commercial.

The START button
Ever wonder what would happen if life was a game? It could be a good thing and a bad thing.
So, for this first blog I will start with the START button (yes, PUN was intended)
The START button.
For any console games, when you press the start button, it pauses the game. How handy is that?
Need a pee break? Press START.
Stuck and need help? Press START.
Now, if you can put life on START. You are heading off to work for a meeting. Wouldn't it be nice that if you're nervous and you can press START and PAUSE it for a bit. When you're ready to continue, press START again.
Wouldn't it be nice while in that meeting, someone ask you a question that you are not sure how to answer, you can press START to pause that moment and head to a computer to google? When you find the answer, press START and resume. It would be seamless.
Alternatively, when you press the START button, a menu pops up. It is the option within the game.
Let's see... OPTIONS, SAVE GAME, LOAD GAME, and QUIT GAME.
Options: Sound, video, game difficulty.
Well hello, look what we have here - GAME DIFFICULTY. Life's too hard? Let's put it on VERY EASY. Not interesting enough? Put it on HARD. Still not interesting enough? Try NIGHTMARE or GOD. Just don't cry foul when you changed to GOD difficulty.
SOUND and VIDEO.
I would love to adjust the volume around me. If you've ever been to a Chinese restaurant, it is always loud. It would be ideal to be able to turn down the sound or be able to adjust the music and SFX. Or even better if you have someone who just talks and talks and you can just mute them while you nod. And what should I make of the VIDEO option? Too sunny? Turn down brightness. Afraid of the dark? Turn up the brightness and gamma ratio.
SAVE GAME, LOAD GAME, and QUIT GAME.
Save game could come in handy. Because if you run into any difficult spot, you can always LOAD GAME from the last save point. Had an exam that you failed? Now that you know the answers, it would be nice to LOAD from the previous SAVE point that was before the exam. At least, I hope you SAVED it as you were heading into the exam. Or you can just QUIT and come back to the last SAVE point when you are ready.
So, if you have a START button. What would be your favourite part?
