02:27 pm: PS3: My Worthless Reviews
Only worthless inasmuch as you could have found one of a few hundred other people's reviews on these same games. Essentially, if you read on, it's because you trust my judgment on games.


( Fallout 3 )


Fallout 3 has a good game cutomizing set of options and benefits from good side story elements, and suffers from a few reality defying game rules, and the main story being mediocre. All in all, if you are looking for some good RPG/story fun, you could do worse than this.

Arbitarty Rating:4.5/5


( Bioshock )

Arbitrary Grade: B+


( Conan )

This isn't Conan; it's Kratos, who has killed that great barbarian and taken his skin and style.

Arbitrary Adjective: Sucks

( Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction )

Ratchet & Clank back again in the traditional form. If you liked it before, you'll like it again. Probably. IF you never did it before, you are going to blow things up and learn about the main characters. That's it, really.

Arbitary Stars: ********

Well, for now that's it. I think I might get to playing Uncharted soon.

08:21 pm: Filling In
Well, I mostly keep quiet here, but I thought I would mention:

1. I have, in fact, finished school. Finally.
2. I have found Twitter, and I love it.
3. I am glad I can say that I'm proud that I voted for our current president.
4. Spocon was a blast. I can only hope it's quality increases at the same rate as Norwescon declines.
5. I'm looking for a job.
6. Oh and My dear wife and I are moving (again). She got a job that was not in Portland, so away we go again.  But at least it's slower than lat time.

In other news, the accumulation of D&D accessories continues.  This makes me happy. 
However, my stomach pains also continue; this does not make me happy at all. D:

10:12 am: Every Once in a While
I feel like this.

11:45 pm: By the Numbers
Tomorrow is one of the class critiques. Two more days until my actual critique for my studio class. Eight more days until class is over. Twelve more days until I walk. And thirty days after that to have my work in for my painting class.

four more comics to complete for Thursday, two each day. One to be painted, three to be drawn and painted. Any more than that is gravy at this point.

Also, need to photocopy two sick notes, pick up eight(?) tickets for me walking, and figure out what it is that I would like most for graduation presents.

And in other news, Angela brought up the fact that this year I am turning Thirty.


At this moment, I have a profound hatred for numbers.

07:39 am: I'm Tired
Tired of being in pain, tired of being sick, tired of working for teachers instead of myself, tired of being unemployable, tired of being tired all the time, tired of worry.

All of which makes me want to sleep more than it makes me want to get up and do anything.

10:55 pm: Funny . . .

I always thought of my wife as liberal. ;)

Your dating personality profile: Liberal - Politics matters to you, and you aren't afraid to share your left-leaning views. You would never be caught voting for a conservative candidate. Big-Hearted - You are a kind and caring person. Your warmth is inviting, and your heart is a wellspring of love. Adventurous - Just sitting around the house is not something that appeals to you. You love to be out trying new things and really experiencing life.

Your Top Ten Traits 1. Liberal 2. Big-Hearted 3. Adventurous 4. Intellectual 5. Practical 6. Shy 7. Sensual 8. Traditional 9. Romantic 10. Wealthy/Ambitious

Your date match profile: Practical - You are drawn to people who are sensible and smart. Flashy, materialistic people turn you off. You appreciate the simpler side of living. Intellectual - You seek out intelligence. Idle chit-chat is not what you are after. You prefer your date who can stimulate your mind. Conservative - Forget liberals, you need a conservative match. Political discussions interest you, and a conservative will offer the viewpoint you need.

02:29 pm: You know you are getting old when . . .
The bands you listened to in High School have "Best of" albums.

And when you call them Albums instead of CDs . . .

02:45 pm: My sister is a history geek
And if you are too, you should read these articles.

Really, go.

11:46 am: Tentacle Grape
This soda is the weirdest thing I've seen recently.

Like, in the last five minutes.  God bless the Internet.  God bless Hentai.  And God bless Tentacles. :D

11:54 am: I'm a Monster!
RAWR!

I need this shirt badly.

:)

05:01 pm: Penny Arcade Honored
Which is just so cool.  I mean really cool.

So yeah.

05:55 pm: Shirts!
Snorg Tees always makes me laugh.

I think this shirt perfectly suits haamel :



That's all for work today, folks!

04:31 pm: Hype
You know what I'm expecting from the movie incarnation of "The Watchmen"? A fun super hero movie. I do not expect the end of days. I do not expect pure enlightenment. It's a good story on paper, and I'm sure they did a serviceable job in translating it to the big screen. But I'm tired of seeing "_______ movie is going to be the biggest thing since _________". Nothing's ever as great as the hype.

01:31 pm: Dragonforce in . . . Spokane?
You know it's the end of the world when Dragonforce decides to visit a podunk town like Spokane Washington.

April 18 – Knitting Factory, Spokane, WA


Especially when they skip over Portland or Seattle.

02:00 pm: President Calls People in Washington D.C. Wimps
Okay, not directly, but he did question why his kids got the day off school.

You tell 'em, Obama.  A little ice and snow?  That's nothing.

02:31 pm: Sam Adams
Since people are talking about it, here's my two cents: unless and until it's shown that he committed a crime, he damned well better stay on as our mayor. Because if he resigns over hiding the fact that he had perfectly legal sex and that the public has no right to know his actions in the bedroom, I think I might go mad.

Public official's sex lives are not your business, people! Everyone hates when the government wants to wade into their usual sexual milieu and say what can and can not go on, and so they should be more understanding that two people had sex and that it's none of their damned business.

On top of that, we all lie. So "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" and all that.

09:15 pm: Becoming a D&D Nerd, Snow and sickness.
Yeah, I pretty much just summed up the entire time between my birthday and now, in order.

I've gotten into the newest version of the D&D rules for many reasons (streamlined, simple, and pretty logical) but I have yet to find anyone who will play <b>with</b> me.

Snow kept me bound to home for a good part of "winter break", and then I got ill.

So yeah, go me.

Oh, and I got cool stuff from my loving wife, angikate, for Christmas.

Games!

05:11 pm: Gifts for all the little girls and boys
Very possibly not so much happening this year.

but while fiddling with my amazon wish list, I found a shirt that made me:

a) think of a friend (haamel)

b) giggle

So I thought I'd waste you people's time by linking it here.

02:28 pm: I Feel
-Damned Tired of working with plaster.

-Happy to have found Pandora.com.

-Anxious to be on my way up to Lacey For my early birthday celebration.

-Entertained by my newest user picture.

:)

12:55 pm: 1,000,000 sigs = Uwe Boll stops Directing?
So, it seems that, according to this link, if we can all put a million sigs on this petition, Uwe Boll will stop molesting the art of film-making.

What the hell are you all waiting for?
