I love sitting around waiting for some assholes to show up
Well, my girlfriend is donating her broken-down van. The appointment with the donation agency was for this morning from 7-12 PM. Guess what. It's almost 4:00 and the assholes are still not here. What great guys. I love these fucking pricks. I love them so much I want to stab them in the eye and shoot them in the ass.
Oh yeah, Enron, I found out that brunch I was talking about was at 1 PM, not 11 AM. Fuck dat! I gots some gaming to do. So, I'll be at my place by 1 PM for sure, come by whenever you want.

Snakes in my Mutha Fuggin Nutz
I hope snakes turns out to be a good one. Certainly keeping the name was genius. Not the studio's genius, mind you. Both the rabid viral fans and Samuel had a hand at keeping the goods. jr0n: You know the first thing I thought of when I thought of a Snakes on a Plane Imitator was, "Crocs on a boat". Three cheers to crocs in a boat being the next Lake Placid!
jr0n: I also thought that Ja -El had bought some random blueprints and decided to build somehting crazy like a caffinated chewing gum shampoo. Good stuff jahKnee.
In other gary gnews, word has it that GenCon SoCal will be at the LA convention center in 2007. Booooo... FTW? I guess they are going to try and pick up E3's slack. Donno if I am sold on this concept. Not that I like OC, but what the hell? Where are we going to stay in downtown LA? Ugggg... Maybe since I have been gone they have put in some sw33t hotel in downtown near the convention center. This makes it more important that we bust out the biggest "RULE!" gaming party fist-fight, fuck-fest this year at GenCon SoCal in novemeber. Game until we bleed out our penis's!
I agree with jr0n on the Little miss Soneshine action. Pretty funny stuff. Go see it jArks. That means ElRock will hate it. Fugger!

Most. Boring. Day. Ev4r. I think I did maybe 10 minutes of work today. Uggghhhh.
I'm pretty sure "Snakes on a Plane" is intentional genius. At least on the part of Mr. Sam L. Jackson, who fought to keep the original title when the studio wanted to change it to "Pacific Air 131" or something similarly boring and trite. No matter what the quality of the movie is, it is gonna make its money back on the first weekend. Whether it actually pays off over the next few weeks as well is the real test.
Hopefully there aren't a bunch of imitators. I mean I might well pay to see Snakes On A Plane but I don't want to be bombarded with Crocodiles on a Boat and Rats in a Yugo in 2007.
By the way, "Little Miss Sunshine" is damn funny.

Yeah, I've really progressed since the days of "watermelon" farming with Tony Naganishy. Anyhow selling grass is no longer viable, so rudy and I are getting together and forming the clitora triangle, where we'll trade in currency of TH's (Thai hookers) where it's roughly about $20 dollars a pop. But we need blueprints because we need to map out our sources and where we plan to "distribute" the meat pies. Rudies just coming to the Philippines to check out the goods, then we figure how much we can pack em in to 40foot containers and the max ie. days the meat stays fresh. Rudies REAL plan is to be a double agent for our syndicate, planting him in the forefront of the LAPD. The reason we need him as a clerk is because filing paperwork is SO MUCH more convenient for him to hear out the gossips of the crackdowns without drawing too much suspicious. But shh.. don't blow rudies front.

Yeah, I dabbled with industry but I think I'm a little too impatient for it (and subsequently that's why Poundrock is always broke as fuck haha!)
Things to keep in mind: Don't EVER sell below mineral cost. IE, average on Antimatter Ammo is 25isk a pop. You might think that putting it up for 24 isk will have your stuff sell first (which it will) but the mins to make each one are worth >24 isk - whats gonna happen is someone will buy up yer cheaper ammo and just reprocess it for the minerals.
Also, you can only see the market of the region you're currently in, SO some people either get their buddies in other regions or create alt characters to plant in other regions to compare prices between regions etc. Stuff that always sells: AMMO and Shuttles. People can really make a killing on shuttles - i'd say they average for about 9k a pop, but some people will really charge a lot for em in far off spots cuz everyone needs a shuttle now and then (and theyre fast/cheap/etc.)
If you were ever in it to win it, the boo-koo bucks come from making and selling T2 products. I think the BPO's for T2 stuff are very rare and hard to come by (think thru missions? I'm not even sure) but that's the highend money making stuff. My corps alliance just disolved a few days back, but we were partnered with a major T2 Manufacturor, NAGA. Check out their online shop (it actually works in the in-game browser): NAGA!
Lastly, blueprints can be researched, for Manufacturing Efficency (so takes less minerals to make) and Time Effiecency (so duh, takes less time :P). TE research is easy to do, but ME research is a bitch as there's always around a 1 week Queue at research stations. Whatever - shit to know!
Hessel's ingame name is THERIDE so see if u ever see him in there during yer guyzorz trials.

Hey Rudster!
I'm gonna try starting my own industry. I bought some blueprints last night and did some calculations. Some things are really worth it to make money with, it the stuff sells assuming. Anyhow! Join me! Or not! Anyway I have to prove out the theory first. But I figure everyone buys stuff, so i'll supply it. I just need to find a good product that is heavily traded, find some good location, and then distribute the products to different planets, so it's easily accessable. Mining for materials I have to do, but with one haul you can rake in enough materials to do some basic production. Or I was thinking of just buying the materials off the market so I don't have to mine it.

Wow, that Lego pic is bad-ass! He's got "Bad Wolf" graffited on the wall - that's from Doctor Who! (Least the new series - never seen the old shows.) So cool - throughout the first season, you'd keep seeing that in one form or another in the background - then it kinda comes together at the end of the season. Fuckin' awesome show.
PS that koo-ta-loo thing was awesome! god it made me wanna read some lovecraft. I have NONE of my books of anything - shits in storage or god knows where. God shit.

Miniatures Geekery: Using Legos to Make Terrain Molds
Interesting idea. Both the original poster's link and that of the guy downthread show some interesting looking bits. What do you guys think? Looks pretty simple. Oh and in this thread the guy is building larger walls and terrain pieces with it.
Oh and here is a survey for Myke
Please circle the answer!
do you live up here yet?
YES NO
Thanks!

They just announced the first GenCon Australia for 2008. How awesome would THAT be to go to? (Answer: highly awesome.) Hmm. The ladyfriend and I talk about going to Australia again all the time, maybe July 2008 is the year. Also it's in Brisbane, which is a fairly unremarkable city except for the fact that I spent a lot of time there when I was 12 and thus it has a strong nostalgic pull for me. As I recall they have this one awesome mall.
it's over for me the Watcher in Darkness comes eyes of flame enormous wings terrible
This is a highly amusing prank pulled on a Nigerian scammer.
Eh, guess it's time to go to work. Summer has finally come to the Sunset District, by which I mean, it's foggy and damp and I have to wear my heavy jacket. It's strangely comforting.

Rood,
The thing is.. either way, the SA Goons win, because ultimately, they really don't care. Their mission is to seek out uber fanbois and be the anti-fanbois just to bring balance to the force. I have to sort of respect that. Generally, they're pretty fair about who they pick on and usually don't single anyone out unless they deserve it. I haven't paid for a membership yet (but I've been thinking about it for a while now). That site entertains me for hours on end. Those comedy goldmine threads are.. well.. comedy goldmines.

Oh my god, you're such a noob johnny haha! :P Just kiddin. Um, yeah, what you said is how a lot of it seems, but it's not so much reality once you get into it. Combat is pretty intense - there's a TON of strats to it all, but its hard to explain and hard to even get a sense of it in the 1st few days of playing. I swear I get a grin on myself thinking about some of the fights I been in. Shit is ON THE LINE when u fight so its some excitin times brotha! It's all good!
Next mmo is CONAN! Or the WARHAMMER one! I'm totally ready for a new MMO also. :)

Shoot me pleez. ;/
nah. Rude, you can have my ISKS, however much I managed to scrounge in 15 hours of play. BELEIVE ME IT WASNT MUCH. But it was a lot of pebble collecting and waiting for the spaceship to fucking move so it WAS DESERVED. BLOOD SWEAT AND PAINFUL TEARS, staring at the computer screen fucker.
I just couldn't get into the game, there were definitely elements that lined it as a classic, such as the graphics and the whole hans solo privateer storyline. but the the cons just smeared any chance of that like the gangsters smeared on st. valentines day massacre. It's clear why the game is great upon downloading it so I won't go into that, but my only complaints, if anyone actually is reading this, is the interactivity level is piss poor. I timed myself everytime I went from planet to planet and it took an average of 1 minute per planet plus docking time. OMFG. Watching a plane autopilot for 4-6 minutes was excruciating. On longer runs it was even longer. And the combat was just: Click >> Orbit 500meters >> Click Auto cannon >> Click lock target. done. Either you see your opponent in a satisfying ball of flame, or youre podding somewhere like a tadpole in a pond.
yeesh...
So what's the next MMO fellas?

Yeah dude, Eve is pretty much completely a "sandbox" game I guess? IE, the only reason I played for as long as I have is because of the people in my corp and the politics and the pvp etc. Yeah, I mining is definately an acquired taste. I was into it at first (dont ask me why) and I actually have a pretty gnarly mining barge etc, but once my corp got dragged into a bunch of wars, pvp is where my <3 is now. It's pretty exciting stuff :). For making money though, yeah dude, it is a GRIND. Mining, Playing the market (trade routes, etc), Missions (kill missions though - dont bother with the other kinds), and ratting (killing npc's in the belts) is how you basically make money. All of those are pretty g-damn boring on their own right, but if you do it with friends, or add the risk of pvp into it, can be cool.
Weird game for sure :) gonna jump on right now as a matter of fact. My name is POUNDROCK so send me an evemail and we can chat if im online at the same time.
