Speaking of random work stuff from yesterday..

I was interviewing this woman and I asked her some standard questions, one of which was "If you had to describe yourself to a complete stranger in 2-3 words, which would they be?" Her responses:

1. Anxious
2. OCD
3. Vulnerable

SWEET! JUST THE CANDIDATE WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR!

| random work shit from yesterday

1. In the morning I had a meeting with my team in one of the small conference rooms. We turned on the projector and immediately the people sitting near its exhaust fan (including me) were bathed in the smell of weed. This wasn't something that smelled kind of like weed: it was weed. Why the projector exhaust was emitting eau de weed I have no idea, but I reported it to facilities, mentioning in the report that the last people to use the room had been in Marketing.

2. A new electrical engineer started a few days ago. He looks like Alan Alda when he started going gray but with more sunken features. The EE is not on our team, but he comes over fairly often to drop off or pick up hardware that he needs to fix or adjust. Anyway, a girl who works for me was sitting at her desk working when all of a sudden she was shocked to feel hands kneading her shoulders. She thinks, "There are, like, three people that this would be OK, and none of them work here." So she turns around and who should it be but this Alan Alda-looking motherfucker who she barely knows! She got through the conversation quickly with a general creepy-crawly feeling.

It's going to be fun to see what HR does to this guy, he richly deserves whatever punishment he gets.

Well, my money's on the PSP, since those are generally better. But who knows?

But my real opinion is, you should buy the xbox version!

And an xbox!

And a live account!

For a game that isn't even out yet and will be out who knows when!

But yeah, the turn-based option is what made me say "cool." I learned about it at penny-arcade, and the quote they had was so good I'll just repost it: "If you're not familiar, let me have the honor: Blood Bowl is a board game that combines football with fucking murder, marbled together like a choice cut."

No dude. Watch the trailer again. It is turn based like the board game. I am WAY excited about it. It may actually inspire me to buy a non-baseball game for my PSP. Any news as to if PSP will be better or worse than DS format?

| Hmmm...

Real time Blood bowel, eh? While it looks sufficiently BB goofy, I wonder how the game plays. I suspect, it will be a fantasy themed Madden NFL, sort of losing the quirky goodness of the BB gameplay. Only time will tell.

I want a Mega Deef shirt. That would be teh sweetness, but no hand sized letters.

I am so glad the weekend has arrived. Feels good to have a week behind. Well off to the kitchen for me. Taco night tonight.

D>M>

| cuz each letter is as big as my hand you guys, thats a big shirt, i want to cryyy

| awww so sad

I'm @ the bowling alley and this fat teenybooper (no so "teeeny") has a megadeth shirt on but its so big I had to read it as:
MEGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ...... DETHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

| Sweet!

Blood bowl game!

Skate 1 was an awesome game and it's like $20 bucks now, but Skate 2 is better in like everyway, so if you can rent/borrow/steal it, just skip 1 all together. The multiplayer is ok. There's different competition modes which are kind of a snore (racing, trick, hurting yourself one is ok) but it has a freeskate mode which is similar to Burnout Paradise which is fun. A bunch of weird co-op challenges. Burnout is really fun multiplayer, i should prolly re-buy that, it's also like $20 bucks new now and has tons of added content.

Yeah, L4D was fun! Is fun! Get in Enron! I'll play some Castle Crashers with you. N+ has some hardcorer 84 co-op multiplayer if your a masochist and wanna try that out. Marble Blast Ultra also has multiplayer but I havent tried that out yet (the single player is fun and it's only 400 xbux.)

Yeah man, I'm down for gaming goodness anytime, just let bro-hymn know.

| Left 4 Deader

I finally activated my year long Live account, so Rude and I got in a game of Ell For Dee last night. So fun! We played the farm level. Our first try through we got killed on the run for the getaway car. The weird thing was that due to a glitch it appeared that the Tank zombie jumped into the car at the very end. Trying to leave it all behind, I suppose. Second game we made it through. Anyway that game is rad and I'm glad you guys talked me into it.

I'm a little tired of WoW for the time being (pushed it a little too hard getting to northrend, I think) so I'm mostly about the Xbox these days. I'm also into brotherhood, so if any of you guys ever want to play some crock band, left 4 dead, castle crashers or whatever, lemme know! OK, that's it for my pathetic friendship plea.

I'm also thinking of setting up a party chat line where people pay to talk to me over xbox live, I'm thinking something like $2.99/minute is reasonable. We could talk about school, teachers, problems... whatever!

Rudy - is Skate 2 fun multiplayer? And would it be better to start with the first one or is the new one a good jumping on point?

| Dreamy Status Confirmed

Yes, Skate 2 is awesome. There's plenty to niggle about, but for the most part it's more of the same with a better designed city and rad new tricks to keep it interesting. Came out on Friday, but I've still mananged to be just about done with the single player. Now it's all about freeskate. Only did two short movies, but here they go:
Funny One
SERIOUS BUSINESS One

| Number 1

Sweet deck d00d! You roll for the right team!

2) I assume it has been dreamy, but how is Skate 2? The full version is out, right?

3) This:

| in honor

For one day, and one day only, some enterprising Something Awful goon hacked the graphics creator for Skate 2 allowing us to upload any image we wanted (instead of using the super gimped program they make you use which provides limited shapes/colors.) Anyways, that account has been banned, and the goonskate guy is cool with EA so I don't think it's going to be pushed again (we don't want to get anyone in trouble) but I was able to make one cool deck in honor of the gang, sorta! The other images I got up there are one from Advanced Wars and also from Gauntlet, heh.
