Evening Reading
by Nick Breckon, Apr 27, 2009 6:00pm PDTI was late to the party myself, but it's still worth mentioning: Gravity Bone is amazing. It's free, it'll take ten minutes of your time, it's guaranteed to make you laugh, and it's built on the Quake 2 engine--the finest vintage engine.

Shit like this is why I never spend my own money in that stupid store. If I hadn't been using gift certificates, I'd be happily installing my sealed copy from Best Buy. I mean fucking seriously! How can they constantly fuck this one massive detail up?
In short: Dear Gamestop, please choke on elephant shits.

It does take 20 minutes before we can start though, since she needs to dress up her sackgirl first :(
Two things that bother me though. What exactly does it mean when I play the story-mode "online"? And do you always end up in totally random fucked up levels when you choose for the "play now" option?
Also, I'd like to play some online co-op with Shackers. Add Bamii if you're up for it!

The hook here is that are building from Leonardo Da Vinci sketches. While they briefly talk about what they are building (mostly buy reusing the same 7 seconds of cgi over and over), the bulk of the show is showing the three guys cut and weld stuff . In order to make the show “interesting” they build drama around a broken tool or someone who didn't bother measuring a board before cutting. Also they focus on the “special” guy goofing around. At the last 3 minutes of the show, we get to see the item the built. The item often looks like the original item in passing with a bunch of changes that invalidate the concept of the show. I tuned in expecting at least some attempt to examine if Leonardo Da Vinci’s designs could work. Instead its an hour of watching some shop monkeys use 21st century technology to build something that looks like a Leonardo Da Vinci sketch. “Doing Da Vinci” is trying to be a little different but ultimately it’s the same show Discovery has been remaking since 2003 when Mythbusters and American Choppers were breakout hits.
I was disappointed and not the least bit entertained. To be fair, I’ve been tiring of Mythbusters as well as its different from testing myths towards “let’s see things go boom.” That has always been a part of Mythbusters but not the myths are just an excuse to see an explosion.

I just learned that Six Flags Vallejo has this and I'm going there in a few weeks for a company outing.
They give you a wetsuit and you jump in the tank with four bottle nose dolphins, and you feed then and get to hug them and shit. JO optional.

Some author has some lawyers contact some blogger about using the phrase "feel the fear and do it anyway” in a blog post. It's the title of one of the author's books. Got on Digg, pretty big, and then they started rating her book down.

20th Century Fox head Tom Rothman revealed to IESB that there is “some talk” of an Alien “prequel” to go along with the recently announced Robert Rodriguez-produced Predator reboot Predators. Rothman confirms that director Ridley Scott is “toying around with the idea.” And the Fox head gives the impression that another Alien movie, be it sequel, prequel or reboot, would only happen with Scott’s involvement.

the brackets showed the blackhawks playing the ducks/sharks next
but i hear they are now playing the canucks next?

Damn Cable has been out at my apartment since last night around 7:00PM. Woke up this morning and it was still out. Kinda weird as there were no storms or anything, just dropped out in the middle of watching a show.

That's a pretty good deal, although I'm sure "refurb'd 360" is enough to make some people wary. Definitely worth the gamble though, IMO.
