Brock, I'm all out of CONDOM. Can you pick me up one if you go out?
I just started watching The Venture Bros for the first time. It's funny! I usually don't get into these Adult Swim cartoons because the humor isn't usually THAT funny to me, but this one so far has been pretty great. Rent it!

Diablo 3
Damn, Blizzard is gnarly! So much hype on these splash screens they've been showing all week on their site (and which totally made it look like some Starcraft related BS haha) and then suddenly, it's Diablo 3. Check out the videos: Main PAEG
Oh, got my homebrew thingy in the mail yesterday for DS and wow, got like 20 games on my card already and tried em out and they all work, etc. So weird that it's so easy and basically pretty darn cheap.

Durn the Hungerer
- I "actually" saw my first hard core game shop in the philippines, of course mixed in with kiddie toys and car models like paul freilers but it had a good selection of wargames - Twilight Imperieum was a whopping $100 usdollars! guess that extra oil it takes to blow the shrinkwrap added to the cost of the packaging. Twas cool though, now only if i can find fools folly enough to play.
- I looked up Docnorvell in armory - what a noobcase that guy is - hehe - I thought you were running a priest now? Rudies druid would have rocked today - if he was still playing. Druids apparently are OP'd after all the buffsticks they recieved.
- Ya, running a business is tough - just even getting one started takes so much effort - I can see why the guy wants to capitalize on 3rd planet even if it's not worth that much - It's like developing a bond with it (goodwill not bookvalue)- kudos to eric on doing so much research before diving into a business though and successfully finding out it wasn't a profitable one - and not getting started in it - just the whole process is so draining and you would have nothing to show for if it wasn't making money. I haven't done a whole lot of research either into the yogurt biz, not a lot benchmarks around. I plan to start my store in one of the large malls in Central Manila, and have scouted some nice places with good traffic. Can only hope it'll make something.

Yee Haw!
Yeah, I checked out the process from the Blizznard website and it was legit. So, after three failed attempts (the first they lost one page of the fax, the second the photocopy and fax of the DL was too dark, and the third the photocopy was too dark again) I have finally unlocked my account! Huzzargh!
Evidently nothing changed with any of my characters, I was in the same place as when I was kicked off the server, so apparently all is well. That was a fun experience.

Whoa there cowboy, don't fax someone your ID... that sounds shady as hell! I'm sure there's an 800 number you can call to talk to customer support at Blizzard. The rest of that story sounds way too fishy.
Edit: Well, after some research I guess that IS kinda how Blizz handles accounts that have been compromised or whatever. Maybe someone hacked your shit! Good luck with that. Might be time to retire WoW and buy a Live subscription instead so we can play Ticket to Ride ALL FUCKING NIGHT LONG, OH MY GOSH!

D&D, DS, and something else with D
- When I was looking at Third Planet, it was horribly overvalued. If I recall it was like 300k. When I did the math, it just didn't work, sadly it was more in the 50k range, give or take. That was mostly due to the customer base and goodwill - the stock just wasn't worth that much.
I can't see 130k being worth it either. My ass you could liquidate the stock for 130k....
- The DS homebrew stuff looks awesomez! I never read any of the Lone Wolf stuff, but it seems like the perfect companion to falling asleep! Combine that with the DS NetHack, may GBA and NES ROMS, and I am set for life!
- My WoW account has been suspended for reasons unclear to me! Oh noes! Last night I was happily playing in the Outland and then I was forced off the server. Later that night I got an email saying my account was suspended and I needed to fill out this form, photocopy my drivers license, fax it to them and wait for at least 48 hours for them to contact me. Oh yeah, the fax was busy for about 45 minutes of auto-redialing. If they fail to contact me, I need to resend the fax to a new number... ugh.
- Pandora.com is radicool. I started a Bad Religion station and have been served up some old school Pennywise, some Goldfinger, Rancid, and "Voice of God is Government"so far. Fun to revisit the oldies without actively trying to.
- New Rancid is ahfuckingarancid. No good.
- Glad I finally won a game of Warmachine! Thanks, pal!
- I am helping out with organizing the 9th annual O'Neill Skim Bash and need to get some sponsors together to donate money and product for freebies and prizes. Anyone know any contacts in any companies that might want to be a part of it? Music, clothes, surf/skate stuff?
- Drumz rool, guitars drool!
- Wylie is starting to babble like a mad man! He is saying a lot of new words all on his own and making up rad sentences with all sorts of crazy arm waving for emphasis. He cracks himself up in his car seat. He is the coolest kid to hang out with. Not to mention, he is a punkest of punk: he craps his pants and sometimes sleeps with crap in his pants. That's pretty punk. Also, he does this hilarious thing where when the phone rings he switches into full on rockstar mode and just goes bonkers and screams, runs around, and knocks everything over he can get his hands on. Really funny kid.
- Just installed the EV controller for the Prius in about 10 minutes today. There is a company that sells a kit that ties the EV mode controller (which is disabled in US Prius models, but not international models) to the cruise control stick. As long as you have 1) three 'bars' of battery power, and 2) operate under 35mph, you can use EV mode and the gas engine doesn't turn on at all. Nice for driving around the neighborhood, parking lots, etc. Should eek out another few mpg (currently 43.5).
- While I think a lot of the D&D Insider tools will be cool and fun, anything that makes a character look like this should have never made the cut. IMHO.

Check out this homebrew DS madness!
LoneWolf Books. This looks really cool and is supposedly really well done. The guys done 2 books so far, can't wait to try it.
I ordered the CycloDS this weekend and should get it by friday or so (and also picked up a micro-sdhc card from new egg to go along with it.) It's supposed to be super easy to use and really awesome, so I'm excited to do some DS Homebrewin!
Doolittle came out for Rock Band today. Ticket to Ride on the arcade tomorrow.

I'm looking forward to trying out 4th ed. It perhaps slays one sacred cow too many, and I really hope it is reasonably playable without minis, but there are a lot of things I like too, and I definitely want to give it a fair shake before making judgment. Anyway, if it's an excuse to role play then I'm all for it! When are we doing that, anyway?
Aeryk, I taught someone to play Warmachine using your minis today. Damn, your paint jobs are good. Plus, you won! Congratulations, pal.

Blogable Tid Bits?
- Saw Indy on date night with the Mrs. and it was totally fun! I don't think it was overdone or anything; it was perfect for what it was: pulp action with some new and funny twists. I think Mike mentioned it at the con and I agree, I liked simply seeing where everyone has ended up in the Indy world. It was nice to visit with an old friend again that inspired so many of my childhood action figure scenarios.
- LOL, I really liked your AT Monster. I would like to know the number of whomever funded that company. I mean if they are willing to pay for direct gaming plagiarism, as well as a stunning musical number at the ending, I could poop out a better game and at least get $50 for it.
- Spore is just not interesting to me at all.
- 4e is getting me excited!
- I went bodysurfing for the first time since moving up here last August. Some water in the world is colder than this water, some is warmer. I did prefer to have my arms out of the water for as long as I could, and when I first went out two days ago, my balls actually ached from the cold.
- Just hit 58th level in WoW, and I have finally travelled through the Dark Portal to the Outlands! Huzzargh! Good ole Docnorvell. I am still filled with nostalgic joy whenever I hear the theme music for Ashenvale because, man, that was just a really freakin' good time we had playing WoW when it first launched. Still remember only wanting to play an hour and then looking at the clock to find out I had spent 7 hours. Good times.

Ok, I know this is dorky, but last thing about SPore. You can record and automatically post videos to YouTube from within the program to show off your creations. Really awesome! Here's my first decent monster - I made a bunch of horrible ones before:
AT MONSTER!
