I'll try and find out asap if I can go to GenCon - I would really love to.

Rude -- not the badges so much, it's more just the logistics get tougher the longer you wait. Our room is in the Marriott connected to the hotel but those rooms might fill up relatively soon. Also air fare will get harder to arrange. (Not that it's easy now, flying to the midwest is a bitch! Basically impossible to get a direct flight.)
I got so sick to my stomach today at work. There was a can drive where you got nachos if you turned in 6 cans. The nachos were delicious but ugh. At least it was for a good cause.

I think I will be able to make Kubla - it's on a weekend I'd normally have off. They won't give me a straight answer on if I got the vc I requested off. Gen Con falls on a weekend I'd normally work unfortunately. I noticed the price for a badge at gen con is only $10 more than the pre-reg price. That might work for me if I need a cpl months to find out if I can go. Do badges sell out?

and I actually miss those days
where i could spend 8 hours on a vid game.... fun times
I'm tempted to build another system, new mobo, cpu, graphics card, although with everything moving to the LGA1155 platform (still a bit pricy) and the sandy bridge chipset, i'm thinking about holding up my purchase until a few months later. After spending all that money on a new computer, just to play world of warcraft for an hour a day in the spare time after work. hardly seems worth it at all... or is it. It hardly seems worth it unless you COULD spend 8 hours a day on the game. Heheh...

Oh, also.. I think I'm headed into month 4 of unemployment. Haven't worked since October. Still pretty happy to be with the family.. being Mr. Mom has been awesome. haven't had much time for gaming until somewhat recently. Doing some late night gaming, or while Bennett takes his nap during the day (if I don't crash myself or use the time to get something done around the house that isn't the usual chase-the-boy-around-and-clean-up-his-disasters routine).
Time to get serious about the jerb hunt. Still willing to relocate elsewhere, just had to GTFO from Vegas as step #1 and then play things from there.
Starting up my spam campaign for job openings on Craigslist here shortly. Have about 40 tabs open right now, planning on hitting that tomorrow.

GenCorn
I'm in and I'm in. GenCon Indy registration, check. KublaCon registration, check. It's on!
fArt: The upload tool for blogger now strips the goodness out of ani-gifs. Really annoying. You have to link to external links or beg eLzar for the ftp password. Also that hidden "Giant Penis" was great. I didn't even catch it at first, but man when I did, good god.
Pump and fArt: I feel for you both. The first couple of weeks of unemployment are great and then it just sucks balls from there on out. It gets a bit depressing. Also, video games are the root of evil for the unemployed. jA-El can attest to that with his sick WoW record of over 10 days of playtime in a 30 day real time window. eVe-iLL. My hooks were GTA3/GTA3:Vice City and GT3. Both nearly gave me carpal tunnel.
Rude: That's sweet about the new diet plan. I have been working to get back on the cart. I fell off for a while and stopped working out and eating right for about 5 months. I felt like turd. Back at it the past couple of weeks and I feel much better.

NWN2 was awesomesauce. But, a bit buggy. As I recall, I couldn't finish the regular campaign due to some shitty bug that would crash the game repeatedly. Memory is telling me it was right around the time you are finishing the fort/castle thing and preparing for the big battle. They've probably since patched it up.
Did you ever play Oblivion? That is probably the single best game ever made if you use the player mods (PC Only!). I can't even tell you how many hours I played that thing. It's pure awesome sauce. Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul is the 100% must-have mod for the game. Then, there's a few others that are pretty neat and help out, but that's the most important by far.
I'm still sucked into Minecraft. I just found out there are a bunch of texture packs out that make it look a million times better (as good as it can look being a world made of blocks, lol).
You should totally check it out! COME GAME WITH MEH

Good luck with your job hunting Dennis. Hopefully you'll get some gov't cheese in the meantime, but I'm sure you'll find something. I just watched that particular Twilight Zone the other day because I bought the box set. That's a fucked up episode cuz the guy is totally not a bad guy. :( Fuck you, Sterling.
Welcome back Art! Also good luck with any job related stuff you're dealing with!
Haven't gotten used to working nights again. Totally fucks with my body clock. My days off after working are pretty much blown on being exhausted and sleeping till 5.
On the gaming tip, played about 20 hours of Neverwinter Night 2 after getting it cheap off Steam. It's fun and I look forward to checking out the expansions. Got side tracked by loading up Dragon Age again and being blown away by how good modern games look. Gonna try to beat DA before going back to NWN2. GAMEZ.
My beer is still aging in the closet. I learned so much doing my first batch. Lazed-out and fucked some things up, but I didn't skimp on sanitation at least. I think worst case scenario, it might be a little under carbonated. Mid-Feb should be good to try although I might give in a break open a bottle this weekend.
I've been on Weight Watchers for almost a month now. It's going great. Lost about 10 pounds - basically on track with losing 3ish pounds a week. Kind of ridiculous and embarassing realizing how horribly I've been eating for years. Now that I'm holding myself accountable to what I put in my body, jesus, so many years of abuse. I like the program. They basically made most fruits and veggies "free" so I'm never really hungry. And I enjoy cooking and eating real-people-sized portions. Shamefull.

Unemployment
Sorry, mang.
Feel free to spend some of that savings you will be living on to come up for another visit/job hunt! Maybe this is what you need to escape the South Bay and make the move to NorCal!
