Yaddaheads

The Yaddaheads: They'll sell you all the drugs you need for those freakish t-shirts you found in the ruins. The next day, they'll do their damnedest to shoot you because a butterfly told them to. The batshit crazy, barking mad doctor feelgoods of the wastes, in German.

So how was your evening?

Go here. Hover your mouse over the video. Never touch a drink again.

This one took me some time...

But finally it is done! Another GURPS disadvantage, ready to roll out.

Slow (-10 points)

You take a lot of time sorting your tools, formatting your daily to-do list, and your coffee breaks tend to be as numerous as they are long. No matter, you say, that's where the real work happens. You like to think you are the slow-but-steady kind, but many people say you are just slow. In effect, you take about 25% longer for every task that takes a fixed amount of time (first aid, picking locks etc.), and you tend to take an extra hour (or week) on tasks that have no fixed duration, like scouting out a camp or writing a thesis.

Strange - another work-related disad...

Leaky wicks

Wikileaks is done. Whatever (whoever) caused the leak has killed this platform, and now there is a kind of purgy flavor in the air. If you are one of the informers involved in "Cablegate", your career is over. But then, you shouldn't be working for State Department anyway - you are much too trusting. But don't worry: A few years behind bars will set you straight. Just ask the holy fool of this story, Bradley Manning.

Assange and Domscheid-Berg had a good (and very important) thing going, and then it all turned to shit. It is quite probable that one of them is right and the other one is wrong, or that this was just can honest mistake (something that, believe it or not, even a bona fide genius is subject to), but from the distance, this looks like a pissing contest where two men came up short.
