30ish... Fuckers
Yup fun stuff. My 30th was bit of a let down. Didnt really have a 30th party. I was sick. I was working a bum temp job on the night shift getting paid like Burmese dirt licker. I was only a few months in working after 8 months of unemployment. I knew I was going to be unemployed in a month. Career was non existent. Boo-urns! Yet I still seemed to take it in stride okay. Being 30 is wierd though.
I turn 32 in a few years. I do not like to compare my self to my parents in that respect, cause it is depressing. By that time they had a 12 year old, a 4 year old and an infant. They had a house. They had careers. D'oh. I can not imagine having a 12 year old at this point in my life. Shit that is scary. At my age I still feel like a kid all too often.
Elzar: You know the funny thing is, that I had the same reaction to hockey game commentaries. How old is that guy. Ah man he is my age. Oh wait. Ummm my age is the gritty guys that can hack it after 30. All the players that I used to root for in HS are either retired or gritty old cronies now.
jr0n: if you bust out Memoir 44 at work with your supervisor, jeezuz you are the man. You would totally have to post that on the game log.
rUd3: I am sorry to hear that things are unpleasent for you right now. Ive been there and its not a fun place. It'll turn around. No need for the dirt nap just yet.

Aliens vs Action Team
SETI Project makes Alien Contact! I believe it. Maybe if the aliens hurry up and come, it'll be like Alien Nation and I can become a cop or something. Otherwise, fuck if it makes a difference in my life... :(

I'm at work right now and it's totally dead around here! God damn, I wish I'd brought the PS2 and guitar. I could be rocking the HELL out right now.
On the plus side I brought Memoir '44 after one of my supervisors expressed an interest in it. I think if I can get in a game at work with that guy it would be the equivalent of a triple word score (whatever the equivalent of a triple word score is, in real life).

Totally Agree
I too find it TOTALLY easier to play on the harder level because the game doesn't leave out so many note for you not to play. I used to hate it, and somtimes on Hard it still happens, that you end up playing like 1/3 to 1/2 the notes you hear, but you know the song and you WANT to play all the notes so you try to and screw yourself. It feels more natural, more rhythmic on the harder levels. Except for Cowboys from Hell. Fuck that song to hell.
That was my Waterloo. Then, unlike Napoleon, I got over it. Crap man, that song screwed me up forever! Then again so did Godzilla, Crossroads, Killer Queen, and Bark at the Moon.
I usually finish with whatever hard song I just spent the last hour replaying over and over trying to beat. But I ALWAYS play Ziggy Stardust. Usually as my warmup. I heart that song.

Happy birthday Mr. Lee. Turning 30 was weird as hell for me... but it wore off after a few days.
FINALLY beat Ozzy on Medium. Now it's on to the Hard level. So far I'm liking the higher difficulty level better, as it seems more natural to me when I'm moving my hand all over the guitar like crazy somehow. Every time I play I close out with "More Than A Feeling." How lame is THAT!?
What can Holophrastic do to get into the next Guitar Hero game!?

I think the weirdest thing for me was realizing that I was as old as my parents were when they had me. I think that is what hit home the hardest.. not in a bad way, necessarily.. just in a weird relativity way. Also, the realization that Haylee will never know me as a young person was a bit of a mind-screw. I will always be "old dad". Weird/funny.
Other than that, I really didn't care much about turning 30 as I drove down from Washington on a road trip with Eric and Aaron to begin a new adventure in Las Vegas. Age isn't anything but a number. Granted, my body is failing me slowly but surely.. that's no fun. But philosophically, it just didn't matter to me really. Outside of the "kid" thing, the weirdest part is fumbling around mentally for a few seconds to try and figure out how old I am when someone asks. Even though it's true, it still feels like I'm pulling on a Halloween mask every time I tell someone I'm 30 or 31, or however the hell old I am.
18 with 13 years of experience.
Yeehaw.

30
The main thing that got me when I turned 30 was that suddenly, it was so easy to compare myself to the world by age using easy math. I really noticed it when I was listening to hockey games and commentary, and the announcers would discuss players. Some players were in their prime (24 - 27) some were veterans (28 - 32) and some were still trying to lend their leadership to teams even though they had lost a step and were near retirement (33 - 38). When I was in my 20's, even 29, I still didn't do the math to determine my age relative to the players, in my eyes I was still 18. Then I hit 30, and I realized that I would be a veteran, nearing my end in the league. FTW?
Other things also made me aware like being the same age as my parents when they had me, I am in turn having Wylie at the same age as my parents. So I am exactly as far along with my life as they were with theirs. FTW?!?!!?
While I was not bummed to turn 30, there was this strange cosmic shift in my brain about age, and relativity. I still feel 18, I still like almost all the same crap I did when I was 18, I still know most of the same people as I did when I was 18 (weird), but I am absolutely more wise to the ways of people and the world, and my body sure as shit does not act like it did when I was 18. At least I still get carded when I go out, sometimes.
So, welcome Jael. It is a great club to be a part of, it is great to have reached this milestone. With some hesitation I would say we are all officially "adults", whatever that means. Well, not lilrudy@aol.com, but he's close on our heels, if he doesn't cut himself to sleep before he makes it!

hehe.. hey i though I was the youngest Well rude, If I'm back in town and providing I see ya, we'll celebrate your 30th (and mine) !!! (drink to our demise! best a la carte way to go!)
But yeah, seriously, it's weird, on the topic of success, well, part of it is perspective, and of course if you want to talk about the measurable metrics (money) but most people don't have a lot of anyway. US is a revolving dollar run economy so most people have it in form of assets or loans or what not and not really in cash. Another part of success (for my perspective at least) is also marriage and family. Finding that other companion willing to go with you thick or thin, and having a place together is equidistant. As far as career, well, I chose this path, and had as much chance for it to pay off (which it didn't) but i'm committed to ride down this way to see where fate takes me! Onward! Action Team!
My feeling anyway.

I still have a few good months before I'm as old as all of you guys, but I get like that too Jael. I really don't give a shit about marriage, the bloodline ends here as far as I'm concerned, but I think about being successfull etc. That shit is depressing hehe. That's why I'm ready for the big sleep. I wanna be pushin' up daisys already. TAKE ME!
My parents just sent me me a message through email about being 3-0.
Not looking for any condolences or sympathy. Just wanted to share that getting that email made me feel awkward and strange at the same time. Am I still a kid (their kid) or just some old guy that haven't flown out of the nest yet, unmarried. Maybe that's why it's so scary turning 30? Just a wierd feeling of emptiness.
Ok, enough wallowing. I'm over it now. Back to work.

Lately I've been checking out this set of miniatures rules (cost = free $$cheap!). It's essentially the Savage Worlds ruleset with the RPG aspects removed. I love me some Savage Worlds so I'm looking forward to trying it.
The nice thing is that it's a generic system so it's easy to stat up models for any genre, from fantasy to scifi to this "world war eye eye" that I keep hearing about. Good for making games for whatever models you happen to have lying around.
Sample scenario! (Set in the piratey 50 Fathoms setting.)
Unit costing guide. Most of the special abilities don't make much sense without the SW rulebook. HOWEVER...
Test Drive rules for Savage Worlds. This is a pretty good sample overview of the RPG that also gives the idea of many of the special abilities used in the minis rules.
I better get in the shower. I'm sure Enron is anxiously waiting for me to come by his place and layeth down the beating.

hahaha nice find! yeah, heard a ton of crappy reviews of it at work, so it'll be interesting to see.
dude, that japanese game show was so friggin weird. kinda nice though too. im not into pain-humor too much, but i admire the inventiveness of a lot of the stunt. plus the whole library kinda setting was friggin funny.
