52A new chatty approaches, one filled with unlimited potential and promise.
It is shaping up to be a rather nice weekend here in Indiana. The temperature's hovering around the mid-60s, meaning that I can finally pull flip-flops out of the closet, and maybe even hang my beloved hammock. Too bad it's getting cold again next week.
But next week isn't now! So if you'll excuse me, I'm off to enjoy what today has on offer.
According to this Left 4 Dead Surival Mode preview, the reason the Team Fortress 2 DLC for Xbox 360 cannot be free but the Survival Pack can be...is because of achievements. Achievements, must be paid for. Is it just me or does that make no sense whatsoever? Huge wtf.
Lighthouse looks pretty cool, by the way.

I am interested in buying some firearms, as I have recently dicovered their awesomeness. Handgun, rifle, shotgun... I'm not really sure what I want or what I'd use it for other than shooting at the range. Should I let friends shoot my gun at the range or make them get their own?
If I have to defend myself or people come to steal my shit, what will best intimidate and/or fight off aggressors?
For a handgun, I enjoyed shooting the Springfield XDM 9mm but I can't find it anywhere in a stainless slide. All black is a bit dull and the green/olive is kinda ugly. Should I try shooting all different kinds and calibers, or will I likely have no buyers remorse with the XDM?
For rifles, it seems a ruger 10/22 is a must-have, and 22 ammo is so much cheaper than higher calibers. I'm also interested in getting a mid-power rifle like an AK-47 or AR-15, especially with the potential threat of having thair sales severely limited, since Obama hasn't exactly quashed that possibility. Prices on these vary wildly, as it seems other people have similar fears and supply is quite limited. AKs seem to go for $500-1000 while AR-15s range from $1000-1600, even for the same item in auction vs local retail.
Obviously, ammo is an ongoing cost for shooting. What other expenses and accessories might I be forgetting to factor in?

I appear to have some sort of re-direction trojan that only re-directs pages from a google search, and only the first time you click. So far, Malware bytes, spybot s&d, and spyware blaster have all failed to locate anything and I'm about to try housecall's in-browser test, but I'm not too optimistic. Anyone happen to know anything about this?

Against my better judgement, I bit the bullet and went and picked up the xbox360 wireless adapter. I had a $50 bestbuy gift card and didn't feel like monkeying with a bunch of firmware shit on routers, etc.
Come home, plug it in, pull up the network settings, and of course, it sees every single wireless network around me but my own. Try adding it manually, doesn't matter. This is fucking retarded.
What. The. Fuck.

If someone were to, say heat a teflon pan to the point where it was smoking, would it still be safe for use afterwards? Should it be run through the dishwasher to destroy the odd smell that appears to be radiating from it? Or will it be deadly and should be thrown away?

You yanks and your prissy puritanical disinclination of watching giant CG penises.
Instead, I will review HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU
This movie is possibly the most brilliant movie in theaters. Now, I will admit, I have not read any reviews, so it is possible I am treading on well covered ground. Also, I'm sure many of you are going "wtf Morgin, we knew you were a little bit of an internet bro and lol morgin is being morgin again" but seriously, listen to me on this one. This movie will change your life.
This movie is apparently based on a book by the same name. I'm not sure how someone could write a whole subject on it, because my thoughts are basically that "If you are wondering if he likes you, and you are not having sex with him regularily or he is not currently dating you, then no, he doesn't like you" but hey this book is apparently quite popular so maybe there are other words of wisdom beyond the obvious.
The set up is to introduce you to 5 cookie cutter women. One is "that girl" who over thinks every encounter with a guy and builds up every encounter into "a sign". Basically, the shack in female form. The next is this girl who is stuck in a time before technology and tries to be hip and play the texting myspace profile game but doesn't understand that the rules aren't really different, guys just have more options to ignore you. The third is the married girl who thinks her life is perfect but secretly knows her husband is probably lying to her and fucking around but pins the blame on herself and thinks "what did I do wrong?" The fourth is the girl fucking the married guy and thinking she can change him and that he'll leave his wife for her because she has this fantasy about a perfect relationship. The fifth is the chick in a long term relationship whose boyfriend says he doesnt believe in marriage and she goes along with it secretly hoping to change his mind. Also, E from entourage is in it, so that's kind of cool.
The plot of the movie is various situations where these women have the opportunity to be shot down and fucked over, and then meet up and reassure each other that it's ok they know people who have had this stuff happen and it all worked out ok and so don't worry too much because it'll work out for her. The details are kind of irrelevant, except that eventually these women all realize that (and this was summed up nicely by one of them) that they are the Rule, not the Exception, and if the guy isn't into you, you wont change that. This applies equally to anyone who overthinks relationships and dating and tries to see signs where they don't exist. If they were into you, you wouldn't have to wonder. Oh the mac guy does a pretty good job putting one of them in her place, so props to him.
Anyway, so we hit about 2/3rds through the movie, and these women have all been fucking destroyed. They aren't happy, they realize they aren't special and no movie magic is going to save them. If the movie ended there, I think it would have been a truthful, kind of obvious story where everyone goes home knowing they knew that all along but still needing to hear it.
BUT IT DID NOT END THERE.
Gentlemen, this is the greatest win in cinema history. This is probably better than when Bruce Willis realize he was dead in the sixth sense.
Now, you have to realize, the basic premise of this movie was that you aren't special, don't fantasize that you are, so if the person you like doesn't seem into it, stop trying to invent situations to change their mind and win them over in.
So how do they achieve this coup? Almost all the women win. Mac guy changes his mind about the crazy bitch after she does a stalker routine on him and decides he likes her after all. Ben Affleck realizes that he's not so against marriage and proposes. Married guy doesn't tell his bitchy wife why the fuck he is cheating on her, but instead passively allows her to kick him out and doesn't even once go grovelling to the hot chick he was nailing on the side. Tech stupid chick hooks up with E, because they are both lonely souls and use the newspaper and not online dating.
Now, if the girls watching this movie figured out that they had just had the wool pulled over their eyes, it is unlikely this movie would be a success. However, here's a direct quote from one of the girls I was with (a smart, professional, well adjusted girl who in most respects is stable and normal) re: mac guy and crazy bitch: "I told you he liked her! I knew they would end up together! That's so true, she just had to work hard to get him and make him see how great she is. Guys can always be manipulated like that."
...
The movie quite bluntly states that "you are the rule, not the exception" and proceeds to mercilessly rip on girls who fantasize that they can be the exception. Yet, girls leave the theater feeling that they have a chance of being the exception. Amazing. Every man should see this movie, because this is the type of bullshit that you need to a) avoid if you want to not be the chick when dating, and b) realize what you are up against.

I found another great local source to buy good NES/SNES games in bulk, Sunday fleemarkets.
I picked up 12 more NES and 1 more SNES games this weekend.
It's pretty easy to find the more common games everywhere.
Almost finished SMB2 on the NES, and I started DKC2 on the SNES.
What should I play next?
NES: StarTropics or Life Force
SNES: Zelda ALTTP or (Your fav SNES game here)
Sorry if I'm annoying anyone with these weekly posts. I swear these games are fun!

WHAT: This shackbattle is for the setting up of all-shack 3v3 matches on Saturday and exchanging of GFWL (Games for Windows Live) names in order to build peoples' friends lists. The idea is to get multiple simultaneous private shack 3v3 games going, and have some fun!
WHEN: Saturday, March 7, 3pm EST... until people stop playing!
WHERE: Meet in the Steam chat room for the shackdow2 group. Idle there during your game, so people know who's still around and can join new games. Exchange GFWL names in the steam chat room!
WHO: Any shacker in the shackdow2 group, http://steamcommunity.com/groups/shackdow2
Post your full steam id URL for invite.
DoW2 games hosted as "Custom/Private" can only have people be invited or join up that are GFWL friends of the host or other people inside the game. Hence, building a network of shacker friends on GFWL is quite useful for getting 3v3 games going.
I'll see you there, denying you VPs with my tac marines, mekboy mines, eldar ranger sniper fire and zoey-backed blobs of doom!
new WD chatty... game time is in 1 hour from this post!

Just got my BP up to over 1000 in Street Fighter 4! Dhalsim is dah man! Man, what a battle this evening has been. I really feel like my skills improved a lot from when I first bought the game...
When I first started playing, my BP hovered around 0-200. Then slowly, as I started to learn Dhalsim some more, it would fluctuate wildly between 0-400. Then finally, I started to learn how the other characters play, and what I had to do in certain match ups... then my BP hovered around 300-600 for a long while. Then yesterday, I broke 700 for the first time. And finally tonight, after a long practice session in the training mode, trying to perfect my instant-air teleport, I went online, and was able to fight my way up to over 1000 BP. Man, what a great feeling.
I know I'll never be in the 2500-3000 range... those guys are just too good. But reaching 1000 has been such a great journey. I've gotten so used to how people play now, by the time the match is over, I can usually guess someone's BP before it is displayed to within... oh, 100-200 or so BP.

The good:
- It made me quit WoW again (which imho says it is pretty good)
- Cooping single player campaigns is fucking awesome.
- Fucking up your little brother's talentbuilds because you get to control his heroes in his campaign is equally awesome.
- Single player is addicting.
- Multi player is fun and has a lot more depth than i previously thought (you will not miss the base building).
The bad:
- Ending the single player like they do now is retarded. Why? Because when you finally get to the end the whole thing locks up and you can't use your cool level 20 dressed heroes ever again. WHY. There's plenty of random missions BEFORE i decide to end the campaign ones?
- How much logo's can a company push into an intro? Hai developers, this is 2009 where you can make your logo CLICKABLE and direct your customers from your game to various website by using this fabulous thing called the internet. Plying your stupid ass animated logo in front of your game like it's a 80's b-movie is lame.
- Whoever designed the multi player interface should be shot. Battle.net is over 10 years of age. Just copy the goddamn thing if you have no clue how to make your multi player interface work.
- If you include voip, please make a MENU for it where one can configure the voip settings. Makes sense, doesn't it?
