Duck and Cover

Whatever you do, don't look at old pictures of yourself. I'm still convinced I look like I did when I was 18.

I'm not dead yet...

I'm getting better.

I hope no one at work notices this big stain on the front of my pants now.

And Where There's a Whip There's a Way for the trifecta.

So I guess they made a trilogy out of it? I think the prospect of dragging ass to the movie theater three times over the course of the next few years is enough to make me forgo the whole thing. I always liked the old cartoon, it was pretty well paced and covered about everything. Nothing can top the...

I'd hardly noticed, what with the giant Nazi steam-punk mechs filled with fluorescent green toxic goo. All the same, good squad based fun though.

Corea, huh? 500 miles high is beast, although I thought it was Corea's solo work, not RtF. Kinda dug Romantic Warrior, any other recommended album(s)?? I'm more of an Al Di Meola fan than a RtF fan truly. Love the guitar fusion of that era - him, Mahavishnu Orchestra. Santana and Frank Marino on th...

Also I binged and read all of the Game of Throne books over the summer, so I'm waiting for the sixth to come out eventually. These are fun reads. Never thought I'd like them, but the TV series piqued my interest. Seem like they downshift in book 4 & 5 though. Can't think of a series since maybe...

More of a Return to Forever man myself.

I'm not on it for more than once a week anymore. No time for games, nothing. I only have some time to rarely post in a forum, not a long ass chat. Oh yeah, the butthurt European teenager Sanderps just banned me from NMA for calling him a naive college kid or something. I feel privileged. It only to...

Connery is #1, but I always liked the campiness of the Roger Moore flicks.

Should probably go back and watch the Tim Dalton ones, at the time he was kind of a let down, but that just Bond baggage and expectations that come with it.

Man, I wish they for *once* would have the balls to add the backstory of the fascist government into the movies. If you ever read the comic called 'America' it really shows how much of a fascist enforcer Dredd really is. I once read an interview with one of the creators of the comic books where he ...

Pretty cool book, I almost bailed on it as it was veering dangerously close to rah-rah goodie-goodie stars and stripesism but it's balanced with the the Postman grappling with the fact that he's kind of a fraud that pushes false hope. The cyborgs were kind of out of nowhere. I liked the fake compute...

Something in that kickstarter thingy unsettles me. While I love the rosy notion that public funding will allow all these niche titles that can't get funding from the suits to flourish, it's definitely unsettling. The weird thing is the buying something sight unseen, then the delayed gratification. ...

bugs Fucking hell, it would be delightful if this particular undeserved albatross were to be put out of its misery. It's entirely fatuous, and yet regurgitated like gospel by So Many People. :drunk: Yeah, the Infinity Engine games were never buggy, and they made a half-dozen games with it. I guess ...

Looks good, no peppers? Just love sausage, onions and peppers, when the onions get all caramelized and sweet.

Starting to mature in my grilling skills, moved beyond the pedestrian burgers/dogs batchelor fare into more BBQ chicken, seafood, lamb and whatnot. Fire + flesh + beer = boner.

Never LAM'd Anna on a plane in the pale moonlight ? Never left Walton all alone, < 20000 leagues 'neath the sea ? Never debated the work(s) of Olaf Stapledon with a patchily voiced clone bartender ? What a shame. :drunk: I'm not big into books. :dribble: I guess I should say there's no consequences...

LACKEY #1 : HEY WE WANT YOU TO BLOW UP THE LAB, SO GO DO THAT, OKAY ? GREAT. - 3 seconds later - LACKEY #2 : HEY I JUST HEARD SOMEONE ASKED YOU TO BLOW UP THE LAB, WELL, DON'T DO THAT, OKAY ? GREAT. - 3 seconds after BLOWING UP THE LAB - LACKEY #2 : HEY I'M MILDLY DISAPPOINTED WITH YOU BECAUSE YOU ...

Invisible War! My 2 cents on IW: I bought IW at release and didn't really have the HW to play it at the time. Gave it a whirl a few years back, I think I can honestly say it's not that bad given the distance from the shitstorm of baggage and unfulfilled hype that surrounded it. It's fairly mediocre...

Kind of burnt out on Civ games myslef, especially post-Alpha Centauri. I don't know why anyone bothers anymore. Like Das Boot, why ever make another submarine movie ever again.
Those Firaxis Civil War games were fucking great too, great designer, heady designer. Guy's got integrity.
