by Maarten Goldstein, Jul 06, 2005 4:48am PDTSo that Battlefield 2 patch is coming today, will be nice to have some bugs fixed. Hopefully I'll have the opportunity to hop on the Shack server tonight, I haven't played in over a week. I can only take so many random annoyances. Late to the party with this one, but I'm really digging the new Foo Fighters album. Never really been a huge fan of them or anything, but In Your Honor is good stuff. Movie: Have you ever heard of anyone who doesn't like a dolphin?

I just remembered a funny little thing that happened in the ISMT a few weeks ago.. I had all our weapons set up in the main bay of the ISMT, was doing maintenance on them, when a few people came in to do some pistol training. The MP-5's sitting on a chair nearby, and as these Marines filter in one of them looks at it (magazine inserted, mind you.. it's a 9mm magazine, of course, so it's very slender) and says "Oh wow, we have AK-47's in here?".
...
Seriously, what the fuck? Even my sister would know the difference between an AK-47 and an MP-5. =/
It got better. After explaining to this guy that no, that's not an AK-47 but infact an MP-5, he proceeded to tell me that "Oh, yeah, well I own one of those".
So.. uh.. you own an MP-5 with a barrel that short and a full-auto trigger mech?
"Yeah, blah blah blah".
...
People like that just blow my mind. =(
For the two of you that don't know the difference between an MP-5/AK-47, see these:

If you owned one, wouldn't you think you'd be able to recognize it? srsly. =/

Are Wayne Static's Adidas sandals an affront to his tortured psyche? "FRAGILE!" he screams scarily in "Anything But This." "GIVE ME!!!! ANYTHING BUT THIS!!!!" The sandals he and his beard wear on the cover of Beneath... Between... Beyond... seem very ordinary. After all, they're enjoyed by soccer players, frat boys, and Sunday morning girlfriends the world over. They seem somehow inappropriate for a man so angry, so lost in the fires of his own soul. How does Wayne do it? How does he juggle the struggle of sounding more like Korn with each passing song, while still keeping his toesies comfy? Amazing! Only the shadows know the secret of Static-X's thrashing, industrial Tinactin alchemy, but their fan base probably does too, and that's who will love this collection of rarities, remixes, and B-sides. "S.O.M.," "Down," and "Head" go back to 1998, while openers "Breathe" and "Deliver Me" date from 2003 -- no doubt the sessions for Shadow Zone. Together, the tracks are a helpful guide for moving from the guitar tones of Ministry to Korn's histrionics in a few short years. Speaking of Ministry, Paul Barker remixes "I'm With Stupid." Beneath... ends with five demos dated from 1996 through 2002. They're bastard children of Metallica, Nine Inch Nails, and Gravity Kills; they're corns on the feet of metal, and it's time to rub the bunions.
Here's a pic of the sandals.

A new Japanese retaurant has opened here in Bloomington, IL. I was really bummed last year when the one down the street went tits up. They were having some difficulty due to cutbacks at the Mitsubishi plant here. The new one is a bit more "California", but it's in the same place as the old one, which is convenient as hell for me.
Went there tonight for dinner, their first real night open. Had a spicy tuna roll and tempura udon. Add a couple of Sapporo just for kicks. The sushi chef gave me a tuna cone type roll gratis, not sure what it was called. It was fucking awesome and will be in my next order.

One problem though. To fix the problem I had to replace the instrument cluster. The old one read 91,000 and the new one reads 143,000. I tried dialing the odometer back but it's not moving unless I break it. Can you even modify the odometer legally?

I paid for one month for 6,95$, are the charges reccuring every month? I cant find any infos in the FAQ, or how to cancel. This really should be worked on. I wish we had an interface were we could REALLY see all our infos and account setting and be able to cancel or change things by ourselves.

From http://grandtextauto.gatech.edu/2005/07/05/facade-is-released/#more-857
This long-awaited one-act interactive drama, featuring a 3D environment and voice-acted, AI-driven characters, has been a testbed for research in and development of new discourse-based NLP techniques, a new drama management framework, and new ways of allowing behavior hierarchies to interact. It has been the source of more than a dozen academic publications co-authored by Michael and Andrew, as well as Michael’s Carnegie Mellon University Ph.D. dissertation. A pre-release version of Façade was a finalist in the 2004 Independent Games Festival. Façade is also delightfully entertaining and abundant in its dramatic and artistic merits. It offers a fairly short dramatic experience that is intensive and compelling, and unlike anything else I have seen in video games or other interactive systems. The New York Times called Façade “the future of video games†and one person who has devoted his life to interactive storytelling, Chris Crawford, said the system was “the best actual working interactive storyworld yet created.â€Â
