Whoa, welcome back John-Knee!!!! Been a long time! How you been foo? Hope you wasn't in that thriller prison video, it WAS set in the philipines!
I missed a WHOLE season of the new Doctor Who! I'm catching up now, such a good show.
Watched 2 movies last night: Apollo 13 and Disturbia. Apollo 13 was pretty ok. I used to really hate Tom Hanks, but I think I'm getting older now cuz I find him quite endearing. Disturbia was better than the average teen-horror flick, but wasn't AMAZING. A couple of parts actually had me kinda freaked out and I had to pause the movie for a few minutes haha. But then when I resumed, of course the "payoff" was a let down. Still, was a decent enough flick to pass the time.
Eric, so did you try Dungeon Runners? I d/l'd it again, so if you are playing it, tell me where and what name and I'll make an account.
I'm years behind internet comedy, so just saw this for the first time, but it made me laugh: LOL!

That is just straight up awesome. When someone is that certifiably socially inept, only juicy goodness can come from it.
On a related note, I had a good laugh explaining to our receptionist this afternoon how a certain ex-conventioneer had a habit of constantly eating while pacing, whilst mumbling, "bitch, bitch, bitch..." over and over again. Oh and his brilliant declaration as to his feelings about sex v. gaming. Rule.
It don't get any better than this.
jr0n: Dave let me know that Grim Anus Steak is sweet, sweet mint julep.

I couldn't stop laughing
That was some hilarious dude. In a way, I can relate, I mean who doesn't fear being that dreaded social nitwit and have cold sweaty nightmare that wakes you up in the middle of the night? You've never had those kind of dreams? Comon Ponche!
So wahssup gangstas? So much news i couldnt read alotta of to catch up but the last few posts are really funny.
360 you say? I know I'm always against the grain / and I know you guys love/hate/argue me for that, but 360 I can understand because 360 = complete, and maybe they didn't mean 360 as in turning around but 360 as in completeness of the turnaround, because saying 180 is only half. So there you have it, but 110%, now maybe thats why I didn't get hired in my latter job applications. Doh! It's does accurately describe my elongated slong cuz technically a 1 foot growth is actually 200% of the original size! That's a 200% effort.
Sinister Movies I've watched within the last 5 days (just bad)
Spiderman 1
Spiderman 2
Superman Returns
Superman 1 (old version)
Movies that have gotten better over a few watches
Troy
Fight club
Snatch
Seven
(16 in one compilations of Brad pitt)
Everything is pretty ok here. Its rainy season, so we get lots of wild tropical rains.

I'm 110% not kidding about this dude. Everybody is bewildered as to whose cock he sucked to get a job in our department.
Another thing this dude did happened on Tuesday. Monday night, we had sort of a margarita mixer in our quad just as a break for everyone since we've all been working long hours. Well, the next morning this dude rolls in and sees the leftover mixers, sauza, and spare bottle of rum that were left on the table.
"Ah!" he says to me. "Alcohol! I drink alcohol. This is for relaxing."
"Uh... I guess," I said.
"Which is the most relaxing?"
"Probably not that one." He was holding up a bottle of jose cuervo melon mixer (which has no alcohol in it).
A few minutes later our group meeting starts. This is our 9:30 AM meeting. Everybody on my team is crammed into my quad, with this new guy being the only person not on the team. This is the day of release and the core tester stands up and gives some instructions. He's visibly tense, giving the final orders on this last day. Suddenly there's a pouring sound. We look over...
... this dude is pouring a HUGE slug of rum into his coffee mug. I'm talking, five-second pour.
My jaw drops and I look away but my eyes make contact with my boss. We look into each others' eyes trying not to burst into hysterics. Finally, I had to look away, stare at my computer and start surfing the internet to avoid cracking up.
Yeah -- our department head was a little terrified when she heard about that one.

Wesley Willis: Sometimes brilliant, usually crazy, almost always unexpected.
On the otherhand: (FUCK I WISH I COULD CAPS LOCK THAT BUT I AM ALREADY IN MAXIMUM CAPS LOCK). One might say he wanted to go give 110% CAPS LOCK to us all.
Uggg... I hate caps lock. Sometimes I wish I could tear the button of the keyboard. I already did it to the "Insert" button. The only button to piss me off more than the Caps Lock button.
j0rn: if that co-worker of your is for real, oh shit that is rad.

Numba One
I'm gonna do this song again.
Numba 2) Ry: at least you have a program that NEEDS to have cuts. I mean, I think I would have rather been on a team that needed cuts rather than let Mark Trachtenberg and Kevin Mayo play. I think it is a testament, no matter how 110% you hate it, that your program is on the up and up.
Numba 3) I would not carpool with said Kung-Fu Master. I mean, as long as he is not driving it is cool. But holy shit! Stay away if he gets behind the wheel! Landlord-Fu is the scariest!
Numba 4) I'm gonna fuck you up like a god damn accident.
Numba 5) I'm gonna do this song again, all the way up yo ass.
And Numba 6) Jesus, is the answer.
Sometimes Wesley Willis was just damn funny.

Dude, you made up that story jon! NO WAY that dude exists! If he does, write him into a book, that shits too crazy!
In last nights movie mayhem I watched ALIENS and 28 WEEKS LATER. Now, of course, Aliens is a "classic". I dunno, I think my action tastes have changed a little cuz I wasn't too blown away by it. I mean, I realize at the time it came out, it was prolly INSANEly awesome, but I kept minimizing the movie to look at the same 3 fuckin websites I look at 101% of my life. I even skipped thru the last boss fight she has... I dunno, I knew what happened. Time is money ppl! One cool thing was I kept thinking of the Aliens mini game and the acid spray and APONE and all that shit. PRetty cool. Damn, they die off pretty quick in the movie tho!
28 Weeks Later was pretty awesome! I liked it a lot. Much better than the first one (although the first one had the original killer premise - just had a lot of slow zzz parts.) This one was fuckin pretty non-stop scary fast runnin zomboids. And without giving away the end, its old school horror movie with a depressing hopeless finale. Hahah, love it. It seemed super short! I think its regular movie length, but the shit all happens so fast, it was just suddenly over! But yeah, they setup part 3 (28 months Later!?) so it'll be good fun. Sometimes I feel like I got the rage virus in my life! Or I'm playing frogger with it, too.
Tonight I have The Count of Monte Cristo - always looked cheesy to me but I've heard from quite a few ppl that its good fun, so co-worker lent it. We shall see!
God Dammit Otto, you have Lupus!

If you like 110%, you'll love 101 Force
That reminds me that I just started working with this really weird Indian dude. I have carpooled with him a couple of times, which is an experience in terror, but he just tells the weirdest stories. For example he was telling me that because of his caste, which is the landlord caste, he has to know martial arts. Not just any martial arts but the best martial arts, which is from his part of India. These martial arts can heal, as well as harm.
He gave me an example of its use which was this time that he was picking up a few thousand dollars that had been wired to a Western Union in some sketchy part of SF. He had just left when a guy came up to him and tried to rob him. He gave the guy a little bit of money to buy himself some time and then started using his thinking skills to figure out a solution. He looked around for a pole with a nail sticking out of it and found and started running at it. Well, naturally the guy trying to rob him started chasing him. So my co-worker used one of his moves to use the mugger's momentum against him, which resulted in the mugger catapulting forward and hitting the pole, with the nail penetrating into his forehead. At that point my co-worker called the police and paramedics and then left the premises.
Then the other day he was telling me how he went to the beach to practice his martial arts maneuvers. "It has been seven years, but I still have the power!" he assured me. Onlookers were looking on with awe. He concluded by telling me that with his style, an attacker can attack you with one hundred force, and you use one force to change his momentum, and then the attacker gets hit with one hundred and one force.
Also one day I was heating up some leftover pizza and he told me that what I should do before I get on a plane, is, boil some fish bones and beef bones until they are liquid, and then drink it, because that will make me strong.

Lindsay Lohan really bugs me. It isn't just one thing, I think it is the whole package. But as annoying as she and her whole trip is, I think the biggest piece of garbage award is Michael Vick.
I have to cut 6 players tonight, and I am sick to my stomach. I have never had to do something so drastic in my life and I feel like puking my guts out. I know it is for the good of the team, but I have always been pretty non-confrontational and this is really tough. Ugh.
You might say, I hate it 110%.

Mkay, Big Deal, but.....
... you would think that a DEFENSE ATTORNEY and a drug rehab specialist would know better than to say something like:
"Whatever you have done in the past, do a 360-degree turn and go the other way," Sands said. "She has to change her alleged friends, people sharing or selling her drugs. She has to lead a clean and sober life."
This is in reference to Lindsay Lohan and all her woes. Whatever. Bottom line that just pisses me off is 360 is a complete circle. 180 is a total reverse of direction. Get it right people.
And while I am at it, I EFFING HATE it when people give 110%. It is impossible to give more than 100% of yourself to anything! I HATE THAT PHRASE.
Sheesh, get over it.

I'm talking about the scene where 2 characters (and a gross baby) are in a all white-room/train station and all this shit is explained to one of the characters. Reminded me of two matrix scenes, the one with neo and the architect in whatever shit matrix that was, and then i think in the last matrix movie there's a similar scene in an all-white subway station and a bunch of shit is boringly explained. I dunno, it was just so out of character from the rest of the book for me (kinda like, SCREEECH record stop, INFO INFO INFO... put the record back on... choo-choooo!) :) I just didn't like it. I think that info could have come to the character a different way (its magic world, shit, you can make up anything) and i just instantly thought of those matrix scenes for some reason. At work so dont have the page number handy, but I think you know what I'm talking about, cuz if I said exactly what scene it was, that would be the ultimate spoiler to whoever hasnt finished it.
Dungeon Runners, played the beta test a few months back. It was ok. Billion times better than LOTRO lol, but i dunno, it's very arcadey/diablo-esque, and that's not really my style. Maybe i'll peep it out again soon, but right now I'm all hooked on dvds again (renting from the library.) Watched Serpico and some other shit last night. Pacino is bad-ass. I think I like him better than dinero. They're both weirdos tho for sure.

Dungeonrunners?
Hey Rudy, and other interested parties, have you heard of Dungeonrunners?
Someone posted on BGG about it, and it seems to be a next gen WoW meets Diablo. It's free, or you can pay $5 a month for better stuff and a bank. Randomly generated instances, jokes (You start town in Townston), and apparently a lot of FREE fun. I'm gonna check it out tonight, now that I have no book to read....

Not seeing the Matrixy thing... which chapter/page you talking about?
I finished last night around 2:00 AM! It was a great ending to the series.
I'd write more but frankly, I just got home from work, and I am tired. At least this shit is finally done, except for the patches of course!
Yay software development!
Yay Harry Potter!

yeah dude, that store next to rei is the same one I tried around midnight before giving up. then found my awesome pdf and just read that shit all weekend. One fuckin chapter towards the end was like "CHEESE", she could have scrapped it and put something more interesting (*SPOILER MAYBE SPOILER MAYBE* somethin less matrix-y there, if u know what i mean *END SPOILER END SPOILER END SPOILER*)but whatever, totally rad book and awesome series. Did this lady really come out of nowhere and just make this shit up? I heard those Eragon books were the WORST. Good.

Internet Ban LIfted! Harry-o Rape-o DragonHIV-o!
Whew! I just finished and it was a perfect ending. I could not be more pleased with how the series ended, I don't want any more, I feel complete and well taken care of.
I concur, action packed, twists, turns, a-ha's, and only one or two ridiculous chance occurrences!
After I tried to D/L a leak the day before and failed (well, I got the 500-something page fanfic version of the book, but knew off the bat it was teh Fake-Or), I put a moratorium on Internet use for fear of asshat WoW players on BGG leaking the secretz of the Chamber of Deathry Hello's. The ban has been lifted and I can now fill my mind with pointless whining about boardgames again!
In my searches for the Real McCoy Harry Potter Leak, I found chapters 1-10 of an audiobook version. I thought it was bunk so I listened to the first few bytes of the first mp3. Jim Dale was NOT the reader, just some dude talking all quiet and audiobook like, and I heard him refer to pointing wands at chests and I thought for sure it was crap because it was just too early in the book to have that happen!
As it ends up, the egg was on my face! Just think, I coulda listened to some chump read his leaked book and had a headstart on everyone!
BTW, I too rolled up on B&B at midnight to pick up a copy and there was a line past REI! Then I hit up Borders and there was a mass of people outside the cobwebbed and disco-lighted Wizard Party going on, so I drove home and picked it up the next morning at 9am with no wait.
I feel good about it. Very nice.

"You're mental" moaned Ron as he stroaked Harrys
That's some god-damned addictive shit. Ugh. All weekend, I replaced WoW with Potter. My brain hurts. Its really good though, I'm almost done I think. On page 364 out of 397 pdf-stylee pages (so dont know where thatd be in the regular book.) But *minor spoiler* I'm just after the part where Harry finds out he's NOT pregnant (so predictable) but St. Mungos tells him he did contract dragon-HIV (i guess in that chapter set in the holodeck of a burger king - wtf was harry thinking!?)
I have Survivor - Eye of the Tiger on loop on my itunes, and after several hours, I still haven't bothered to change the song.

Snape Rapes Malfoy
(Minor spoiler about the structure of the book I guess, but nothing that's a surprise if you've read Book Six.)
Yeah, this is a really fuckin' good one. I'm on page 250 and there were just like three big twists all within about thirty pages, all with increasing ratings on the Daaaaaaaamn!-o-Meter. I don't think it's so much written to be a movie, as that there is little time for the introspection and school hijinx that have been the hallmark of the earlier books in the series.
The sixth book was a little like this too, but it still had Hogwarts as a framing mechanism, so even though it was more desperate and stripped down, especially at the end, it still felt familiar. This book is off the leash much more than the others.
For the first time ever in the series, I really have no idea where the characters will be in 50 pages or in 250 pages. To paraphrase Nice Guy Eddie, there's a sense of "I don't know who's shot, I don't know who's not."
I'm enjoying it!

1/3rd through Harry Potter, that shit is ACTION PACKED, holy shit! So far, highly recommended. ALTHOUGH (and maybe its just me) it almost seems like it was written to be turned into a movie. I can see just about EVERY scene and all the special effects their gonna do. But, maybe thats just her style. Fun read though, woot.
