Evening O'Reading
by Alice O'Connor, Apr 17, 2009 6:00pm PDTOh, is the week over already? Doesn't time fly when you're having fun! Now, I collapse into a slumber so deep only true love or screeching children outside could rouse me.
If you like video games you're in luck, because this is a video games website:

- Staggering Demigod piracy figures.
- Earth 2160 is finally fixed on Steam, huzzah!
- F.E.A.R. 2 patch with Toy Soliders maps arrives, trailers still awesome.
- Terror of Left 4 Dead Survival Pack conveyed by graphs.

Airfare for 4 to New York, private limo, hotel, model entourage, bodyguard and $5000 in cash. It’d be a pretty sweet deal, especially in this recession. Free to enter, so go do it!
What do you prefer and why?
My right side is much stronger than left so I feel I use it more when using a barbell so I prefer using dumbells. That forces me to so equal work on both sides without cheating.

1) Drove 5 minutes to the nearest car wash and got a basic wash for $5. Didn't get much egg off.
2) Drove 15 minutes to a gas station that was open and sold sponges. Sat at the gas station for 30 minutes scrubbing off egg from the car using the window-washer shit. Couldn't see very well.
3) Drove 15 minutes to ANOTHER gas station and got a deluxe wash. Then I went to my moms, got some clothes (not microfiber, I think) and dried the car off to make sure no egg was on there.
4) Drove home and alerted the shack.
All of this was done while slightly buzzed.

So I learned something funny about the beta tonight.
Guns are stronger than super powers.
I created my first "Classic Munitions" Hero, and was amazed how easy it was to shoot stuff down. It was twice as fast as any of the other builds I have played in the beta so far. It was even more comical when I got in groups, and the rapist clown with a gun did better than "Captain Courageous" and his super might and deathbeams.
Anyone else find a build that seems out of place?

I guess I'm wondering what my options are: lose weight, cobra myself for 330 a month, appeal with doctors note, seek other insurance companies. The amusing part about this is that I don't have a single claim for the last 7 years which I've been insured. I rarely get the sniffles even, and I consider myself to be very healthy.
Also: I haven't been posting on the shack because the room which I work is not allowed to have internet access (data is sorta sensitive). I miss this place.

But who actually reads his books? I do, and love them. No one else my age has ever read even one of his books, yet he is a best seller. People must just buy his books cause a trendy mag says they should and never actually pick the book up.
Pity though, cause his writing has gotten even better in recent years.

Did anyone else not really feel any emotion at the end when Salim died? I had a feeling during the entire movie that he would die, and after all of the things he did I felt nothing for him as he got shot up. The one thing he did to redeem himself by letting Latika go really didnt make me think much better for him
Great movie. An awesome story that was told really really well

Publishers are hoping that millions of page views on a blog will translate into booming sales on the bookstand, he said. “I Can Has Cheezburger?” is based on a blog of the same name. It sold more than 100,000 copies and hovered on The New York Times best-seller list for 13 weeks.

I got a couple rolls of medium format film developed and scanned the other day and a few came out pretty cool. I just love the hazy feel of the photos although sometimes the camera freaks out with bright lights.

What a great movie! About 3/4th of the way through it gets rather confusing and I wasn't giving the film the attention I should have been, but I understood most of what was going on, minus the techno-babble of course. It was nice watching a movie that didn't explain every little term to me. I just wonder how accurate everything said in the film is.

GI JOE: RESOLUTE - Episode 1Apr. 17th, 2009|09:51 pm]
warren_ellis
Looks like episode one is up at Adult Swim. In fact, episode 2 may also be there. Hard for me to tell, as I’m outside the US and can’t actually see it. I imagine it’ll be on YouTube soon enough.
EDITED TO ADD: YouTubed. Episodes ONE, TWO and THREE.
