I picked it up too! Fun game, love the theme and don't mind the grind because we grew up on silly grinding.

Knights of Pen and Paper!  Must... put... iPad... down.....

It's like a fun 8-bit RPG with your old role-playing buddies as the stars of the game and always on screen!  While there is some attention paid to the meta-game of 'managing snacks and providing pizza', it's mostly just a fun RPG/story-driven grind game that has a constant reminder that it's supposed to be a pen and paper game being played - which makes it fun because it reminds me of 10th level or bust and beyond!!!

SOOOO worth it.  $1.99 I think?

Got an email from HR with a link to a partner site that offers discounts on gym memberships. Figured I'd check it out. 70% of the East Bay offerings were Jazzercise programs. WTF?

Check this out:

Silence of the Towels.

Happy Halloween, Bitches.

Sounds like an awesome game but I haven't got it yet: video! iOS link

| All Borderlands is Bad

 - Even AWESOME GameBoy versions.

 - I also read that article a few weeks (months?) ago, and it was much more English driven, and I think longer, too.

 - Re: Minecraft re: Art - check the blog from abouuuut a month ago, I think you had the same problem and I'm gonna say its because you are still playing with he free 10 hours a month version of Minefold - your time will reset at the beginning of the next month, or you could kick down some cash (I think it's fairly minimal) and play all you want!

 - Still playing lots of Skate 3.

  - I am boring.

I googled up the version of the article I read! It was on a different site, but it's one of the gawker ones whose archives are all down right now. So this is either an extremely poor rewrite or somebody literally did run it through babel fish or something to avoid plagiarism... Lol.

The new Borderlands iOs game is apparently really bad. Here's a video of guys playing it and it looks awful. Video

What if your job consisted video filter??? Deal with all google products.

It's like it's been run through babel fish a few times.

I swear I read that article a few weeks ago and it was reasonably well edited at that time. You need to post links to the Internet, not to teh intarwebz.

Anyway, Indy is part of the deal. Who knows? Maybe they'll get cracking on a sequel.

My understanding is that Ep 7 is working from a "treatment" by Lucas, and that he gets Creative Consultant credit on everything (of course) but it doesn't sound like he'll be that involved. At this point, Disney/Pixar's track record is a lot more solid than Lucas' is. I really have trouble seeing this as anything but upside. It may turn out that we get crap movies, but that's what we would've gotten under Lucas, anyway.

| Half the fun

Half the fun of posting a link to this article is some of the [AT] jarks would feel compelled to read it and yet be annoyed to no end at the poor grammar. My little gift to you all... Yay me!

One of my security officers told me about the Disney acquisition of Lucasfilms this afternoon. Crazy. No Lucas director presence (ex. A: RotJ) doesn't mean he will not find some way to spray his ejaculate of wonky CGI, juvenile parlor humor, poor scripted character development and Jar Jar stand-ins all over the movie. One can only hope Disney reigns him in and won't impose their own brand of revisioning and whitewashing to the franchise. I wonder how this impacts the Indy franchise?

D>M>

Holy shit you guys, did you see this business about Disney buying Star Wars???????

Star Wars ep 7 in 2015? Lucas NOT directing?

Holy shit!

Dude, Rude, I was totally thinking the same thing!  I was actually going to post those exact words!  The grammar in that article is horrible.  But what a shitty job to have, either way.

Maybe I'm just having a stroke, but there seemed to be tons of bad English/grammar in that google article!

| NHLPA = Dickbones; Also Owners probably suck too.

@ eLzar: LOL. I hear you mang, I hear you. I just cannot even believe we are going through this a third time in the recent past. Each time we go through it, I find myself less and less inclined to watch the games. Boo! In fact, it's like a little part of my favorite memories (e.g. like rooting for the 1993 Kings run, playing fantasy hockey at the El Conq/Dorchester, chewing on mouths full of unshelled peanuts and spewing them in eric's drink, swearing Allison should have had a flannel shirt and cigarette while on the Ice, etc.) die each time we go through this process. I say piss on NHL and NHLPA.

I think it is hilarious that ESPN is playing the season through on EA's NHL 2013. The poor Kings have a serious post Stanley Cup hangover, sitting in 13th with 4-6-0 record. Come on, Kings, get your shit together. LOL.

I also tend to just "these aren't the articles we're looking for. Move along, move along." when I see headlines about children/family travesties. I just don't need to know the details. Its just soul crushing material and I don't want to end up like this person.

| Yep

 - I ostrich at the first sign of atrocities committed to children.  Having anything remotely like that happen to my family is unfathomable, and I feel like I need to keep it that way - out of sight, out of mind.

 - In other news, I'm surprised the End of the World in 2012-ers have not come out in support of Sandy supporting their cause.  Seems logical.

 - I think all the NHL players can go fuck themselves and I honestly hope that the NHL needs to re-structure their shit after this debacle (3rd work stoppage in as many collective bargaining agreement expiration's between the league and the players union).  These moron players have the audacity to compare what they do, and what they earn, and what they are 'struggling' with to the everyday person in an attempt for compassion and understanding.  These fuckers currently take 57% of the cash the owners make for their salaries.  JUST their salaries.  Not including their RENT AND MORTGAGE REIMBURSMENTS, food, hotel, medical, etc.  The owners (who in their own ways are likely savage, heartless, and cruel businessmen and equally unlikable) want the split to be closer to 50/50 and will roll-back salaries to meet that end.  The asshat players cry "woe is me, my 1, or 2, or 8 million a year salaries are going to be rolled back 7%" (but they will still get the goddamn mortgage reimbursements) and they ask for sympathy from the fan, "what if your boss threatened to rollback your salary 7%".  I got news fuckfaces, that 7% rollback is a reality, and then some, for lots and lots of people making less money a year than you cockmonsters make playing 15 minutes in ONE GAME.

And another thing, these fucking brilliant players cry unity, when already a good number of them have left the country to play overseas for a lower salary, until this unpleasantness sorts itself out.

I honestly hope that the NHL partially implodes, the owners fire the executives, and bring in replacement players.  I care about the LA Kings, not particularly any of the players on the team.  They are all in it for themselves and covet free-agency above the team, the game, the league, or the fans, so fuck em.  Bring on the replacements, bring on the journeymen, bring on the kids out of college; if they are wearing the Kings sweaters, I will root for them.
