I can't play StarCraft 2 right before bed. Even if I'm tired beforehand, it revs my mind into a state of alertness that ensures I'll lay there tossing and turning for at least 30 minutes afterward. It's almost like caffeine that way.

Anyone else?

I went to this small diner called "Puffin's Restaurant". I spotted their sign a while ago, which has a puffin acting like a waiter, holding a towel and a platter. Having listened to the end of Idle Thumbs 23, I of course started immediately laughing.

I had breakfast there, and it was great. I saw their huge mural to puffins, and asked if I could take a picture; they said yes, so here it is: http://the_archvile.shackspace.com/puffinsrestaurant.jpg

And yes, I was mentally saying "Puffins!" in an Ed Wynn voice the whole time I at there. It was awesome.

Star wars question.
You know that scene in the second Star Wars movie, where Luke is fighting Darth Vader? Its the one where Vader slices off Luke's hand and also where he tells Luke that he is his father. Why doesn't Vader use the Force to pull Luke back up when he falls off the platform? I mean the fucker can levitate an industrial air conditioning unit but can't lift a 160 lb cry baby?

This is why Star Trek is better.

Cross another game off my backlog for last night I finished Quake 2! Repost for the glorious evening!

I would've done a write-up last night but laying waste to hordes of strogg really takes it out of you.

Boy was that a fun game. I really liked the weapons and the variety in the monsters, I believe the Quake 2 Super Shotgun shall go on my list of favourite video game weapons!

I had trouble getting into it at the start partly because I didn't know wtf and also because that blaster is a totally depressing weapon. But once I nutted up and got stuck in I was a bunny hopping and gibbing machine!
I've heard people are somewhat divided with their opinions on the level design of Q2, and while the levels are certainly less outlandish than the original Quake's they do still have their moments of "Why is this corridor/fan/elevator here? Honestly!" but I don't think it detracts from the game in any way, it only really helps you get lost quicker which is fun sometimes! That along with the hub based design started to grate me toward the end but I reckon it was just the damn Palace that annoyed me.

I had a lot of fun making the melee strogg that had a huge mace arm get angry at other strogg and fight them, I liked that a lot in Quake 1 and I'm glad it was carried over. Does anyone remember if this sort of thing could happen in Quake 4? It's been a long while since I played that.

I highly recommend this game, but really I'm just preaching to the choir aren't I? However I'm sure there are a few others like me, who're catching up on missed years of gaming looking for a little guidance on where to go next.

Which leads me to my question!
I have a shit-ton of games in my backlog (the list of which can be found in my profile thing), and it's pretty hard to pick what to play next but I'd like to finish the games that are more than a decade old.
So I seek your suggestions; what should I play through next?

Is there a good google.com / android.com place I could download 2.2 for my Moto Droid ?

I am tired of waiting for the OTA - and I hear others I know have got the update OTA (maybe this post will magically cause it to happen for me tonight).

Monday Night Combat

So it looks like we'll have another shackbattle at 10pm next wednesday while this game is still hot.

Not sure that I'm going to play tonight but I bet there are a ton of shackfags on tonight.

Add ShackMNC to your friends lists if you haven't already.

RAGE'd

My girlfriend left a glass of water on my desk last night when she went home. After I taught my toilet who the boss was (me, naturally) I came back in here to fumble for my headphones to continue listening to the BBC Radio version of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and pass out in bed.

So what happens? I knocked the glass over in the dark right onto my keyboard. Naturally, my year warranty ended in March.

Goodbye, Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000, you shall be missed.
