Wait -- I thought Dave Chappelle went nutz and there's no more show? Did he get it back together? Or is this just some stuff that they filmed before his meltdown? (Ie, when he went nutz.)

Jael -- one more thing about SoCal Gencon, perhaps the most important and saddest thing -- NO ASIAN PORN STARS. Sorry buddy.

PS Fremont is still full of crazy horny chicks -- pretty much overrun by this time -- who will play hero to Fremont now?

Darkness everybody, DARKNESS!

Got to go to a taping for a new Comedy Central Special (think it airs/aired this weekend) and at the end of it they played a preview for chapelle show season 3. looked ridiculous! also, go to see live: david spade, david cross, sarah silverman, greg geradli, carlos mencia, lisa lampinelli, and louis black. it was sweet! guys gotta watch it whenever it airs. it's called "last laugh 05" - theyve got some crazy short movies in it also by jon stewart and people like that.

That's an annoying hot dog!

Normally I'd sleep until 9:30 or so but this morning I woke up as 7:30 and thought, "I'd fired up as fuck to prime some miniatures!" So that's what I'm gonna do! I have these huge bags under my eyes, too, it's aweomse ( <-- British spelling).

Update! Eric, I forgot to mention -- you were right about the Rick James episode of the Chapelle Show. That was one of the funniest things I've ever seen in years. I wish I had two extra hands, so I could give four thumbs up!

Don't forget:

La la la la la la la!

EDIT:

GenCon in recap for Jael

- Mike made a kick-ass Warmachine board that folds up into an easy carrying case!
- Jon and Mike played some Warmachine games on it.
- Enron and Elric played 2 turns of Advanced Squad Leader.
- I bought for $80 World of Warcraft the Boardgame, and we played it. Denis paid $80 for another game by the same company, called Descent. We played it last weekend and it was fun!
- True Dungeon sucked asscakes.
- Everyone bought A LOT of Warmachine stuff.
- The Kings won two tough games that weekend.

BTW, are you in England, Mike? Havene't heard word one from you since the con-ven-shun!

Click this link, then stare at the middle of the picture for as long as you can without blinking. I swear, I think I just had an acid trip or something. (Promise, no ghouls jumping out at you or other such stupid shit)..

TRIPPY! CLICK MEH!

how's everything smokin'?

Just wanted to drop a quick line. I see the WOW fever has swept back. Check out this add-on website curse-gaming.com. Can't believe after a year, WOW is still the top 2 searches on the yahoo google search engine under the game category. Chicks in wow? Hot chicks?... I dunno.

Sorry to hear your having so much virus problems with your computer rude. We have trend micro as a virus scanner for the company, but honestly I think there's still a few undetected viruses in my computer that the program hasn't picked up. I'm thinking of switching to Norton.

As for factory life, recently I moved, after experiencing a break-in to the house, to the factory complex. It's more secure, I get a pre-modern room instead of a pre-historic house, and there is running elec, water, cable access, dsl and limited other occupants! So considering it's in the philippines, it's a high tech dormatory. My roomates are the best part. Next door, is two guys from malay, one of whom is the owner of magnatron factory for a type of semicon paste screen applicator thingamabob, drinks a lot of whisky and walks around the house with a big beer belly, and the other guy is outgoing, scuba diving, cave exploring, outdoor type. No one here is a gamer, however. It's a rare trait so i haven't done much gaming. My building mates are quite characters and it's interesting to find out stuff about malaysia and they have never been to the US. I always thought EVERYONE must have been or seen the US. MUST. So wrong, it's such a funny notion.

--- note to all ----
there was not enough so cal convention coverage.


To theactionteam.org admin: my account JAEL won't log in, I am in fact the 33L1t3 hxorz known as the wiener cracker so I'm sure it was unintentional that my account was blocked or maybe...

Wow Rude, 12 worms and trojans? One for every month of the year! I hereby appoint you The Action Team's official Internet Security Expert. Maybe you could load a different virus onto your system every day of December leading up to Christmas. It would be an advent calendar of infection!

I love Rocky Road ice cream. Every time I eat a bowl of it I am immediately tempted to eat another.

Enron and I fortified ourselves with pizza (Extreme Pizza!) and delicious beer and went to it with his new Merc army yesterday. All in all a good showing by the new guy. Although I trounced him my first game, when we called the second game on time things were very even, with I would say the advantage leading towards him! Anyway we're talking about building some terrain come the new year! My dream of building a 30mm scale reproduction of Edwardian London may soon be realized!

Edited to remove language. Because nobody expects to read bad language on the Internet!

yeah the trend micro scanner is the one I used initially to find all the crap on my computer. Would also help if I didn't download random torrents. And after d/ling them, when I go to execute them, nothing happens. Yup! I'm sure I infected the hell outta myself that way a few times. Oh well! Comp is CLEAN as all shit now, so time to rebuild!

Norton sucks anyway.

You can get better (and free) complete system scans through Trend Micro's free online scanner. That and Spybot Search & Destroy (also free) together will kill about 98% of the shit you can pick up. You can take it up to 99.9% by getting your hands on the (free free free) CWShredder application. Those three things combined have only failed to completely clean any system I've gone into in very very rare circumstances.

And, they don't imbed themselves into every orifice of your computer, causing rectal bleeding and ass herpes when you try to remove them (like Norton).

Ok, well I guess the 1st techs i talked to about my computer were right. Shit got nutty again last night, and so I finally ran a current virus scan (havent renewed norton in over a year) and yikes, had 12 worms and trojans and other nasty shit. Tried fixing them but it just got worse and worse. SO, had the fun time of reinstalling everything again. Went out and bought the latest Norton also. I think I went too nuts with bittorrent stuff - ugh, I'm dumb. Well, guess you gotta get bit in the ass once in awhile!

I wish I had some kind of secret weapon or knowledge base from which to draw that I could point to and explain my fantasy hockney domination. Unfortunately, all I've done to date is replace the players that were on IR or otherwise dead for the season with players off of the free agent list that first week.. and then just made sure I've got my active guys plugged in for any given day. It's really quite mindless. Kind of like those keychain digital "pet" gadgets from a few years ago? Every once in a while you hit a few buttons to make sure it's got food or some shit, and forget about it the rest of the time.

Sorry, I know that's got to be absolutely infuriating for you hockney fanatics.. lol.. speaking of.. I think I'm due to go activate some players for the next week or so.

Piss on the Tech Support

Those DSL/Cable Modem support groups suck. They never get it right and seem to cause more problems then solve. On a few occasions they have asked me to perform the most boneheaded things. Maybe if they paid those people more than $9.50 an hour they might get better results. Sorry to hear about the Drive wipe. On the otherhand, it is nice to do that from time to time to clear out all the crud that builds up.

I enjoyed A Feast for Crows but I will have to admit I was bummed not getting to read about a number of the plot lines. Also, I just could not get into the Iron Island threads, especially in the begining.

David is rabid about War Machine. He has called me the past couple of days asking me about my progress and telling about his. Good to see him move from WoW crack to War Machine crack.

Brilliant: Mr.T once punched Chuck Norris at the exact moment he roundhouse kicked Mr.T in the chest. the result was the 80's. and On all 3428 instances it occured, when Mr. T and Chuck Norris both 'deflower' the same woman, the resulting spermal battles have caused the woman's uterus to explode in a flurry of pity and roundhouse kicks.

Damnit Art: You nearly have a perfect score in Fantasy. Fucker. Mean while my guys have been masturbating the past few days. Grrrrr...

You guys don't grow shit; plus, if I tore your legs off, you would look like snowmen.

fucking. a.

So, after reinstalling windows xp like 3 times this week (with a full drive wipe, etc) and going through hardcore internet withdrawls, I finally got so fed up and called my isp again. Last time I had talked to the techs there, they said "it's something on your end! run norton or something." I did, and found nothing. Gave it one more go tonight, did a million things over the phone with this tech, finally, last thing he asked me to do was unplug my phone from the wall and just plug the modem direct avoiding the splitter.

...

Little piece of shit radio shack splitter i've had for like 3 years must of died over the weekend, and that was the cause of all my comp problems. No virus or spyware. Didn't need to wipe my drive. I'm happy and pissed and just glad it's all over. Was sorta nice to take a break from the comp, but baby i'm back now! You missed me internet! And at least I got to wipe the shit outta my drive and start clean - haven't done that since i got the comp couple of years ago.

Art! That shit was hilarious! Gonna email that to some friends.
