You may recall that about a month ago, Capcom asked gamers how they wanted to receive the new Resident Evil 5’s content. 1500 votes later, the results are in. And even though our colleagues in Japan are getting the Alternative Edition all boxed up, apparently the good gamers of the pan-Western world are happy to forego the formalities of pretty, shiny boxes and opted for straight-forward, no nonsense downloadable content.

Therefore the new content, which includes PS3 motion-control functionality and a flashback level where we see Jill and Chris exploring the head of Umbrella’s mansion, will be available to download in Australia, Europe and the US next Spring via XBOX Live and the Playstation Network. Prices have yet to be confirmed.

What do you think? Did you participate in the vote? I just hope that those who had their eye on the Alternative Edition haven’t already traded in their original RE5 …

I was hanging out in Broad Ripple with a bunch of kids the night before Halloween. Around 3:45 am, I was bored and decided to walk my costume to my car. Normally I'd be parked in the Jimmy Johns lot, but it was super packed, therefore I parked a block away.

I dropped my costume off, put a hoodie on, and started walking back towards JJs. This is when shit went down. Four guys were walking towards me on the sidewalk clowning around and being silly. I thought nothing of it. Then all of a sudden two of them approached me. One of them said, “Empty your pockets bro.” I said "Are you serious?" as it was Halloween and I thought they were joking. Then the other hit me in the back of the head. I turned around and looked at him and said “Seriously?” And then the other guy pointed a gun at me.

I looked at the gun; it looked fake. I didn't think anything of it and said, "Get that toy out of my face, I'm out of here." I started to walk towards Jimmy Johns. Then I heard him say, "Forget this, I've got him," and heard the bang. I felt pain in my side immediately. It knocked the wind out of me. Then I saw blood on my hands.

I grabbed my side and then the guys bolted. I wisely called 911 quickly and cops showed up within five minutes, EMT in seven. I gave them all of my information and then they loaded me into the ambulance. They rushed me to Methodist Hospital. I was in the emergency room answering a barrage of questions from doctors, police, and nurses. Then they put me under so they could work on my chest to try and find the bullet and make sure there was no major organ damage.

I woke up about two hours later. They moved me into a room where they could monitor me continuously. After surgery I had a tube in my chest to drain blood and fluid, a tube in my nose to drain fluid from my stomach, three different iv's: right arm, left arm, jugular in my neck, and a bandage from my sternum to my belt line covering an incision that took 24 staples to close. I started on IV fluids and had a morphine drip for pain, although I only used it 3 times.

Saturday was rough. I couldn't really talk due to being severely dehydrated. Eventually they let me chew on ice and rinse my mouth out. Sunday I got moved into a different room after they took the nasal-gastro tube out and allowed me to drink water. They switched me to a clear liquid diet next, and removed my IV fluids once I could keep that down. Eventually that changed to all liquids and then to solid foods. One by one my life support systems came off. By the last day I just had one IV for my medication and a blood oxygen monitor.

Honestly, I'm not even upset about this whole ordeal. I'm not looking forward to paying bills for this, as I do not have insurance. I'll do whatever I need to take care of it and I have faith that I will figure something out. I have created a Paypal button if anyone cares to donate, I would greatly appreciate anything.

I'm happy to have the friends I have. My deepest thanks go out first and foremost to my parents Bruce Urban and Cindy Critchlow and my roommates Charles, Kevin and Jo. Charles was there when I needed someone right away with my parents being 2 hours away. Thanks to my parents for taking care of me while I was stuck in the hospital and after. Thanks also to everyone who visited and sent me things: Adam Riley, Jim Barron, Russian Mike, xRyanx, Barret, Steve, Owen, Scott Thomas, Josh and Robyn, Kurt, Danielle, Matt Gorman, Chris Kellar, Alex Latus, Doug Gigowski, Chad Horsey, Alison C, Liz W, Erica W, Shea and Tori, The Coreman Condo, Eric, Matt, Scott; My co-workers from JJs: Evan, Claire, Lance, Brent, Ginny, Brandon; Hot Box Pizza: Kyle, Turkish, Nikki; and last but certainly not least Christina Cooper for being here every day by my side.

Moral of the story, don't stand up to muggers unless you can take a bullet. My PMA is still alive.

24 stitches, hole from my chest tube, and then the bullet hole is above the chest tube hole.

Wasn't someone budget-minded and non-traditional looking for a wedding planner in here? I can't find the entry now and I was going to offer the benefit of my experience, having worked with a number of planners myself.

Where did your entry go and why was it deleted?

Hey Guys -

I am looking for a greatly reduced price half decent event space to host my sis's 30th. Needs to be free for children, food, alcohol, and dj.

Any ideas where this ideal space might exist or someone who might be willing to host it?

I'm listing this for a friend of mine (whom I've lived with in the past and can vouch for), so please email her directly if you're interested. Thanks!

Hey, DPers. Are any of you parents, or recently beholden to them? Are you or your children not as young as they used to be? Do you have books sitting around that never seem to get read anymore, despite the bewildering assortment of words "A" seems to have been for?
If so, or if any number of other more specific circumstances hold, please consider bringing some old children's books to my book drive for the Children's Book Bank. It's this Friday, November 13, anytime from 1:30 to 6:00 PM. Located on Reed College campus (map) in the lobby of the Hauser Memorial Library (map), very close to a parking lot.

The Children's Book Bank, and by extension this drive, aims to collect "new or gently used" children's books (in particular those targeted at children 5 or under) and redistribute them to low-income households whose children might have had few or no books at all beforehand. I love Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel as much as you do, but isn't it possible that some of those other books you just don't need anymore? Not as much as someone else does?

"The Children’s Book Bank is committed to being a source for free "read aloud" books for children in need. Board books, picture books, alphabet books, books about numbers, colors, animals, shapes and words, story books, rhyming books, Dr. Suess (sic) books, and books in Spanish are greatly needed. Please, no encyclopedias, no musty or damaged books, and no school text books. Early chapter books are acceptable, but at this time our focus is on gathering books for children under the age of 6."

As New York gears up for a massive expansion of gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale, state officials have made a potentially troubling discovery about the wastewater created by the process: It's radioactive. And they have yet to say how they'll deal with it.

The information comes from New York's Department of Environmental Conservation , which analyzed 13 samples of wastewater brought thousands of feet to the surface from drilling and found that they contain levels of radium-226, a derivative of uranium, as high as 267 times the limit safe for discharge into the environment and thousands of times the limit safe for people to drink.

Hi! just a helpful hint, if you want a google voice number but are caught up because you want a hellza cool "vanity number", there are some open in the (434)-933-???? (Ifixed-????). Also, obviously, there is (Ifi)x??-????. Also many in (pol)y??-????, though polynomial is already taken, sorry.


Also, I'd really appreciate any feedback on data-only plans. Using the ipod touch as an internet/VoIP phone isn't really working out as well as I'd hoped, mostly due to the lack of ubiquitous free wifi. I'm thinking something like an internet tablet or "palmtop" or something (open pandora, nokia n810.) Any of you use(d) something like this? Also I don't want a voice plan at all.
