OK, so first the really good news, which is that FINALLY the contract bullshit has been worked out at my job and I have a big raise coming as of 9/1. In fact they gave me a buck an hour over what I asked for. So that's one major thing off my mind. Now I will be able to concentrate on my job instead of seething over the "man" and my oppression thereby.

Next up... the news on my Guitar Hero status that you've all been clamoring for. I'm really sorry I haven't updated this in a while but I've been pretty busy. Anyway, "Frankenstein" by Edgar Winter Group? This is music? Fuck that random assortment of tootling garbage. It's one of those songs that fucking blows, but is hard, so you have to play it over and over again anyway to beat it. Anyway with copious tactical use of Star Power I finally beat that shit last night. Sayo-fucking-nara assholes. Now the only two Hard level songs I have left are Cowboys From Hell and Bark at the Moon. I can get about 95% on both of them. Sometime before my birthday, I will enter the elite cadre of Very Hard players and my life will be at its high point!

Anyway the GH2 song list is looking pretty sweet (there are another like 35 songs that haven't been announced, although I'm sure some of those will be contest winners or something like in the last game):

Anthrax--"Madhouse"
Black Sabbath--"War Pigs"
Butthole Surfers--"Who Was in My Room Last Night?"
Guns N' Roses--"Sweet Child O' Mine"
KISS--"Strutter"
Lynyrd Skynyrd--"Freebird"
Motley Crüe--"Shout at the Devil"
Primus--"John the Fisherman" (Original Recording)
Reverend Horton Heat--"Psychobilly Freakout"
Rush--"YYZ"
Stone Temple Pilots--"Tripping on a Hole in a Paper Heart"
Van Halen--"You Really Got Me"

Oh and finally behold our new website identity:



Li'l Update:

Oh hey Enron you can't field Alexia anymore until you can paint her up to this standard. Don't worry I can still field all my unpainted/primed miniatures. You just can't field yours though, just don't worry about it.

thats pretty fucking gruesome man! FUUUUUUUUCK

Yeah, i wanna see descent - i have no movie friends tho :*(
Check out this crazy shit!

we almost got Cthluhu
Groove-a-licious

Yes I agree with Jon about Descent. Great use of Darkness and Claustrophobia. I seriously was having a real issue at one point; Squirming in my chair just imagining myself in this character's shoes. Uggg. Also, I was none to happy to be visiting the restroom at 3am in the morning. A Little freaky.

See it. Do it.

Just got back from seeing The Descent with Enron and Eyeball. Scary, scary, claustrophobic movie. What I recommend you guys do is, see this movie.

On the trainride back home I kept scrutinizing the dark tunnels, looking for any sign of mutant activity.
jesus christ this guy giving the WoW ccg demo is the fucking singer from the cthulu video. oh my god. BUUUT - looks kinda cool. Still seems pretty standard CCG to me though, just lotta cool wow refrences "Im gonna bring out this pyroblast er... huh huh huh." Makes me KINDA wanna play wow again, but I tried a few months back and the fire was gone. :( But yeah, we'll see how this card version turns out!!!
Supernova!

I had forgotten about how sweet Supernova's Hair is. The drummer's is particularly awesome in that video. What a bunch of goofs. Great stuff.

Okay I think I agree with Jon. Yeah the people in that video are pretty lame, but not hate lame. Mostly just, "geez that's bad" lame. The way Rude Dog built it up I was seriously expecting something evil like 'Racist Faces' fuck fest or something.

Elzar, there are a couple of fine games I would be interested in purchizing from you. Perhaps a little trade for s3xual services performed? I figure I will give you the honor of playing my skin flute for each game I take off your hands. Rude, don't tell anyone though. I dont want Elzar to be arrested for soliciting services. He is too tender for jail time throat-nostril raping. Seriously, I will post a list later.

The WoW CCG was pretty popular @ GenCon Indy. I still am glad I have avoided the World of WarCrack. At least David only infrequently tries to tell me random WoW anecdotes anymore.

D>M>
I haven't seen the demo, but I've seen some of the card art/assorted hype through the Penny Arcade site, etc. and I'm sure I'll at least pick up a starter. Perhaps at SoCal GenCon? Will it be out by then?
WoW CCG

I'm scared. I think I might have to buy into this game in a big way. I don't know why, but it sounds like there is some innovative gameplay options (Raids, etc.) and watching the demo, it seems simple and fun enough. The art looks good enough for Denis, so I might get him to bandwagon on. Actually, I NEED him to 'cause I have no other opponents!

Watch the demo on GamingReport.com. No link cause I'm lazy.
Your mamma is so fat when she put on a malcom x t-shirt a helicopter landed.


Watch that fucking movie again right now. LOOK at them!?!!? Disgusting. Oh man, I'm shaking right now when I even think about it.

Supernova video was pretty rad - I remember it, but I dunno - think it was ever on mtv? Dunno how else I mighta seen it though. That's some good shit, not a couple of goddamn *Edited* I am full of RAGE over that other shit1!
Really Rude?? It was "furious anger" bad? I dunno about that. Stupid/unfunny bad, yeah. That was probably the crappiest video I've ever seen! Ugh. The one part I liked was when the chick sings "We almost got Cthulhu!" twice at 2:48 or thereabouts. Props Aeryk for probably finding the dumbest thing on YouTube. :)

I gotta listen to some good music or I'm gonna hear that in my head all day... perhaps the sweet music of a Japanese chick licking some octopus will chase the blues away!

Oh, I just saw that sometime this/next year Settlers of Catan/Alhambra/Carcassonne are gonna be released on Xbox Live for the 360. That's pretty sweet. I might pick one of those up when they drop the price. My Xbox has been making lots of weird noises and having trouble reading discs lately and I think it's gonna take a shit soon.
-..-

dude, that was gross and lame and bad. SO crossed the "so bad its funny" line into that "THIS IS FUCKING HORRIBLE AND NOT FUNNY" line. Fuck that guy and his gross friend. I dunno, I watched that whole fucking thing, and its got me REALLY upset right now!? I dunno why, I'm SO angry at those people. Oh, god.

Nothin' has topped Ceiling Cat yet, although gotta love all cat related pix. Ceiling Cat is SO fucking cute though!

YouTube Gold

First off, I had no idea this existed and it makes me so happy! Also, they are still playing shows, and will be in SoCal in early Sept! Gotta catch em!

SUPERNOVA!

And this is just SO bad I had to break my own laws and embed it....

OMG. Are those pajamas real? Aeryk and Art, you guys HAVE TO make your kids wear those. They're the opposite of sacrilicious! They're... rilicious!

Oh and Aeryk your BGG linky isn't working, but this one should do fine: here.
And There You Have It

Here, is my boardgame collection on BGG. I have commented every game to some extent finally, but I know for a fact there are games I am leaving off, and after the Great Purge of 2006, there will be some I will remove.

After re-reading some of the posts I discovered that I shift between writing for different audiences. Sometimes I write like I am talking to one of you guys and use nicknames, other times it is all proper and lame sounding, like I am writing for my 7th grade English teacher. I think when I discovred that these comments could be viewed by anyone looking at a particular game, rather than a personal game collection, would see the comments, I think began to get confused as to what I was writing and why.

Enjoy?

World of Two infinite possibilities of the future wokka wokka

Now, You will get handsomely rewarded if you ebay all those games, some of which I know you can get close to retail. Some classics, more than retail.


Here's the fun part: lays the scenario if you DON"T sell:

Your kid someday, around 8 years old, will be exploring like the ceiling cat of the Hessle castle, and discover the "dragons" lair of treasure trove of games... his jaws will drop and revel blissfully in his find, then immediately call all his nerdy friends to play these classics at his house. He will be deemed no less the king of games and sit atop his throne of games with the crown of cataan (scene morphs as years progress) He will then proceed to be an uber game nerd for bulk of his teen and collegiate life missing all the panty raids, and drinkaholic fun and games. Turn to page 46

OR

You sell all your games, and he never discovers the mass wealth, and suspects his dad is an old boring cuook. (how do you spell coook?) kook?


Your adventure begins here...


hehe...
So last night I went to Hard rock cafe to have a few beers with the malaysian posse. Good times. I really only went for the food. Recently I transfered to another factory and have been very busy lately with product familiarization for transformers and toroidal. It's pretty much similar with cables and harnesses, except different.
The Great Game Purge of 2006

I am looking to offload these games, for either trade, cash, gift, charity, or whatnot. I have come to realize that I will never, probably, play any of them and I need space to hold the games I do like, and might very well play. So this is the list, I am not quite to the point of asking who wants what from the AT, because I would like to try and get something for them first. Anyhoo, here they are, and man, I have a lot of unloved games:

Ricochet Robot
LotR: the Search
Crimson Skies (FASA)
King's Gate
Drakon (1st ed)
Atlanteon
Arena Maximus
Magdar

Seranissima
Twilight Imperium, 2nd ed
Wreckage
Lowenherz
Ingenious
Ticket to Ride: Europ, in shrink

A few of these I am still waffling over, but I need to be serious here, there are MANY more games out there I would rather play than almost ANY of these, so they are outta here! By hook or by crook, these game are out of the Hess collection! Make way for more ASL! BTW, one could concieve that ASL is short for 'asshole'... and by saying that I have dug my own grave of future taunts a la Blood Bowl Hell.
The Ungame is warming up...






Hilarious image from BGG! I almost, ALMOST spit Pepsi from my nose. Last night, celing cat came even closer. Kudos! Leslie thought it hilarious too.
Well, apparently we're a website about cats now, so....



I'm at work. I just reached into the canister of Mini-Moos for me morning coffee and pulled out the only two remaining 'moos. I gave them a hearty shake only to realize that in fact some jackass had opened the 'moos, used about half of each, then replaced them in the bin. Due to shaking them vigorously with my right hand I ended up with creamer all over my shirt and pants. Apparently I'm lactating or something. (Your joke here.)

If you're bored you could check out this perverted video of a Japanese girl licking an octopus. Highly recommended if you are a nihon-go-no-tako-phile. And a pervert!
