  - Boston has hardly any tolls. There's the one at the Mass Pike. -- nm - loosilu Mar 25, 10:16 5
    - Mystic River bridge, and the harbor tunnels, iirc. -- nm - znufrii Mar 25, 10:18 4

        you're right, but there's some way around that. -- nm - loosilu Mar 25, 10:25
Also Borderlands 2 level cap increase coming. I think it's kinda of BS to make non-season pass holders actually pay for it though. -- nm - Shaun Mar 25, 10:08 1

    - surely your network transfer speeds are faster than your upload speeds. -- nm - colin Mar 25, 10:13 1
      - Upload to server... download from server... Heh. No thanks. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Mar 25, 10:15
- If Mop needs 2 hours to upload one 16 GB file, how long will he need to upload 9? -- nm - SAT Mar 25, 10:05 1
