I had a feeling that movie would be cheesy but entertaining. I'll try and watch it this upcoming week while the wife's out of town (again! rough couple weeks).

OK Pump, if you are out next week, then let's try to find an evening the following week. I think I'm pretty free all of those nights so whatever works for people would be fine.

Anyone else interested in playing? There are two more characters available as PDFs on the FFG site now that I've got the four mains snail mailed out.

Is "kraken!" Russian for Cthulhu?  Cause that would be awsome!

I actually like Chronicles more than Pitch Black.  Mostly because they do try some world building.  It's cheesy, but good popcorn fun.  And I'm totally sold when the bad guys are called Necromongers.

Rude's right, look up the in-game store for free stuff.  Xp boost for an hour is great.  I think it's an 8 hour cool down?  Mine stopped working though.  I must have hit some level/xp cap.

Got a post today with some Star Wars goodness.   Tentacle girl!!!  Maybe the GM knows me too well?  I'm just glad there isn't a slave dancer class.  I would be giving credence to all those socially maladjusted roleplayer stereotypes.

My schedule is crap right right now.  Apparently it's a yearly thing now were my summers are going to suck.  For sure next week I won't get home at a respectable hour, including the weekend.  July is looking doomed I fear.  Doomed!

Chronicle's of Riddick is actually not too bad. A little weird and confusing, like it's trying to be Dune but doesn't quite pull it off. Watch dat shit!

Secret Adventureres - did you guys notice the free items in the Item Store? Go to the item store, click on "claim items" and they have some free Steam-themed clothing, a drink item that boosts your XP for an hour or something, and a free pet cat that gives you bonus damage. Free shit!

Chronicles of Riddick is the one I haven't watched yet! It being the sequel to Pitch Black and all. Oh crap, you guys are in Secret World!

I got my star wars dude too! Friggen' nice character sheet, thanks! I'm a wookie! Everything my dude says will be: "aggrrttaaggrrttaaggrrttaaggrrtt!" :)


The next month and a half of Wed's we have parenting classes at the hospital, 7-9pm. :/


Secret World is rad! I'm super stoked on that game. The multiplayer part doesn't really effect me. I see some people tooting around but it's like a really fun single player game. My in-game name is Pliney. I got a magical blow job and now I too am in the Cthulhu zone. The quest stuff is a little wierd, as well as all the nutty skill stuff, but it's good fun.


We went to see The Conjuring. Pretty good horror flick. Don't think it's going to be the scariest thing like they advertise. It's creepy and has some good jumps, but I still get more freaked at found footage stuff, personally. It's pretty good though!

That Riddick movie looks cool. Did you see Chronicle's of Riddick? What sequel do you have on dvd?

OK, so I think Rude will be the ONLY other person remotely interested (maybe Pumpkin? no Milla Jovovich tho) but the new Riddick movie looks pretty okay! I still have to watch the (terrible-looking) first sequel that I've got on DVD.

Plus the movie comes out on our due date! Totally naming the kid Vin Diesel Riddick Actionteam if they come out the same day. Nickname: V-Dray.

Whoo! Are people up for either Tuesday or Wednesday next week? Otherwise, probably any night the following week would work. Probably looking at two short sessions for the beginner scenario maybe?

Check out the gameplay video for Monaco, which is on sale today. Weird-looking game, but fun, and supposed to be great co-op. Gonna try and try out some Secret World tonight.

Got my character in the mail and I'm ready to rock some SWRPG!

Secret World is fun!  Definitely a fairly high learning curve for the skill/ability wheel stuff, and the HUD and quests are a lil hard to wrap my head around, but I think I actually have a decent little build going.  Well, I'll likely look back and laugh at it, but for now I'm running Pistols/Elemental.  The pistols proc elemental focus and then when the ele is full, I drop two elemental attacks followed by a pistol finishing move.  I can handle the little stuff in one rotation and the bigger stuff in a few more.... now if I could only figure out how to heal...

Fun Cthulhu starting zone!  Kingsmouth (combination of Kingsport and Innsmouth - amusing!)

| Surprise, I am still alive!

As much as I wold love to join you two jokers, I have the previous three work days off for an LA trip. I won't be able to swing taking the dayy off on the 29th & 30th. Booo eNron is the blurstest!

Note to self, Cthulhu manifested himself in our dimension recently, but the gate must have been too unstable and collapsed before he could break through in his full form. Whew, this was close. Make sure to watch past 0:33



I have learned to close my eyes and steer clear of Steam during sales. I still have dozens of games I haven't even cracked. Plus, it took me how long to shake Minecraft, Borderlands and other similarly addictive games? Probably best to keep my hands out of the new game crack pipe for a while.

eLzar, I am very sorry to hear about your wife's cousin. That is awful. It always bums me out the most when parents with young children do such things... Senseless.

fArt, that is really shitty about the house. I cannot imagine going through that type of stress. I hope everything goes well for the transition. Hang tight.

On the upside, the special lady friend and I are going backpacking this weekend up in Point Reyes. Looking forward to some hiking and getting away to some greenery. I am going to try some wide field astrophotography if the skies are clear (Point Reyes is often foggy) and I can get my ass up at 3am in the morning for the moon to set. A big couple of ifs.

D>M>

I'll fly up those days to make a movie about us playing games in Enron's office building. It will be Cinema Verde with pinto beans and rice.

PS - Bought secret adventures - when the 40 fuckin gigs finishes downloading, I'll be eligible for the senor menu at Denny's! Wocka Wacka Wawk-ah!?

As chance would have it I have BOTH those days off already. We were planning to go on vacation but it didn't work out. So pencil in one or the other for a trip to lovely WC!

Can't go any darker than pencil for now, things are a little fluid right now due to some family stuff, but there's at least a strong chance.

Possibility 2: Aaron calls in sick as well. Then we play games in his office building. LOL

| 29th and 30th off

I'm tentatively taking Monday and Tuesday the 29th and 30th off.  I need a little break from work.  My plan is to seriously eff around, possibly start some project in the backyard, but more than likely sit around in my boxers, eat tacos and play The Secret World.

Unless of course I could coerce anyone else to take those days off, then we could get something cookin'!  Like maybe BOTH of us sit around in our boxers and play The Secret World in our respective homes and never group up online or anything!  Sounds rad!

| Dragon, FTW

Illuminati are a bunch of coked out, marketing douchebags.  Haven't tried Templars, but their female members appear to enjoy sticking their cho-chas in the camera fairly often.

Dragon is pretty interesting.  They are all about data collection and controlled chaos theory.  I like the idea :)

I hear if you join the illuminati you get to hear some unreleased Tupac tracks!

Don't you have to join a group like Illumaniti or Templars? Which one are you guys?
