Har.

But it would have been more effective if he said "I'd like to see how that works..."

Earthbound: Yes, please!

FF7: Nah, I'm OK thanks.

Actually, you have to do that for any character in any show. A lot. Sometimes it's annoying to do, and it's all pre-production stuff.

It's just better with comedies because they get to be funny. Much like commentaries.

Yeah I've heard about the commentaries, but that's for later when I'm drawing or something.

I enjoyed the character bios.

Raawk pretty board!
Pretty board!
Raawk.

I'd love to see it too.

And I'm a Flight Of The Conchords fan too, Ayeswhore!

Oh yeah, I saw Heroes.

Not a bad season finale.

So, Ando is an amplifier.
Does this mean that he didn't actually kill Hiro in the future?

Did you ever think he did?
Did you ever think he actually betrayed Hiro?



Watched series one of Spaced yesterday, moving on to series two tonight since Wednesday sucks for TV.

Needs pose work but I dig it!

All it's missing is Mike touching his butt.

?

It's called Dragonball:The Movie. Count on it being based on the movie.

Or better yet, give ME the game! I can afford it, but-um-I'm saying please so that's way more polite.

I like actual trees.

Well I'd already been skating before, and had my own boards, but OK.

Why? Why? Why?
What?
Why exactly?
What? Why?
Be more constructive with your feedback, please. Why?
Why?

But really, that's a real story. I doubt she has a kid and I hate that guy for those reasons and more anyway.

They're somewhere over the rainbow, dicklock!

It shouldn't be that way. We're actually understaffed with me there. But jobs that were supposed to start in October and November still haven't come in.

Also, I'm good at it, so I get my work done faster and sometimes better than I'm supposed to.

M: Follow the yellow brick road.

Did Steve tell you that, perchance?
Steve...

But I was actually being serious.

Yeah.
Yeeaah.

He always asked me if I've seen it, when I'm pretty sure he knows I have and I'm pretty sure I'm probably the one who said something about it in the first place.

Muppet's Christmas Carol is almost verbatim from the actual book, except for a few added background stuff, a couple changed names, and a few lines. So when they make a GOOD Channukah story for once that stars a real mensch, maybe they can skeeze off that.

Edit; Ohright.

Really, you need to see it in motion. It's talking and motion... Erg.

Pokemon inspired me to catch 'em all.

And I did.

See, Majikn knows what's up. HE's down with the Ikea voice! God!

I just didn't like the names of those kids, and the whole epilogue was beyond trite. It wasn't even remotely interesting, just obvious.

Friday was kind of interesting, or just a runaround of stuff.
On Friday my friends and I were supposed to go for a big night out (they'd just finished the semester, and for Liz's birthday). Bus strike, bad weather, blah blah blah, but this is how it went down (or didn't); So I get home from work, look at my MSN and there's messages left from Lynsey (96% bitch) like "Come to Denny's at 7:30 and then Gracie's after at 8" except spelled worse. I look at the clock and it's 8pm. My reaction: " ##### off, Lynsey."

Basically kind of pissed because (1) They all know I work until 7 on fridays, couldn't possibly be HOME by 7:30, all that stuff is across the damn city so I couldn't be THERE by 8:30, and no one bothered to call or text my mobile and instead left messages on my MSN which makes coordinating harder.

So whatever. I ate and then drove to Gracie's. I should mention that's short for "Grace O'Malley's", an Irish pub thing with a dance floor that I'm not really a fan of. Anyway I get there and it's like, 9 or something. I park (had to drive, which means I wouldn't even be able to drink at the bar) and then right outside the door I get a feeling. Check my phone and Dico (My friend Shawn, also Lynsey's boyfriend) had sent me a text while I was driving; "Come to my place, we're watching Dark Knight". I replied "What now? I'm at Gracie's!" and then he replied "Come to Denny's now."

#####.

So I go over to Denny's, and less than a quarter of the people are there. We talk a bit and I find out they basically just changed the whole thing and we're just gonna watch Dark Knight and people will be meeting us there. Fine whatever. Not worth the drive in the ##### weather but fine. I was really ready to unload on Lynz if she'd started running her mouth but she wasn't around at the time, and when I saw her later I didn't care.

Anyway so I get in the car to go to Dico's and meet them there. His roommates' are supposed to be in there anyway so I can just go up. It's not like they lock the door. As I'm driving, I see a car behind me with four people in it. So I assumed it was my friends, and made hand motions through my back window at them. The car changed lanes and was passing me on the right, so without looking I just gave held up the finger lingering.

Then I noticed it wasn't their car when it was ahead enough for me to see it, and was embarrassed. But it didn't matter my turn was right up ahead.

I went into Dico's building and I knew he'd recently moved but only up or down a floor. So I went to the apartment I thought it was. I'm often unsure which apartment is the right one in that building so I listened at the door since people were supposedly there. I go into to 204, walk right up into the foyer and... Not the right place. Two asian guys look at me like what. the. #####. So I play it cool like 'Sorry guys, wrong place...' and high tail it out of there. I should have gone to 304. I thought they'd moved down, but they'd moved up.

So I texted them. Nothing. Called. Nothing. Waited outside the building's doors, as it was cold but cold I liked a lot more than being inside the building. As I was waiting drunk people were leaving, but wasting time being drunk in the doorway thing where you buzz in (the door was propped anyway). This dancing girl looks at me through the window and starts dancing AT me. I wasn't really in the mood but I played along a bit and laughed. Another drunky girl there (but not cute like the other one) came out the door backwards a bit and was loudly talking some stuff not worth mentioning and I was bored so I was listening. She caught my eye and immediately stopped talking. Mortified, she crept back inside the doors and said in a low voice "That's embarrassing." I laughed in my head.

When they finally came out the dancy girl something along the lines of "What's up?!" in that super friendly way loud cute dancy drunk girls talk while they don't actually stop dance-walking to wherever they're going.

'Not much, just waiting for some people.'
"Yah! Yah! Me too! OK have an incredible night!"
'Heh I'll try.' or 'Oh I will' I can't remember.

And then I said something like 'have a good night' and she loudly said whatever response is typical of that type, but I wasn't listening as my friends all finally showed up all once. So no one was in their apartment anyway. Scags. Anyway as we all went in the doors I was laughing about this very stupid exchange that just happened, and me walking into the wrong place, and me flipping off the wrong car, and then had to tell Brian (he asked, I didn't think this story was that good).

The rest of the night was pretty boring. Met Dico's sister (and it was her birthday or some thing and that was the main reason we were supposed to be going out but WHATEVER 'cause she was ALWAYS on her damn phone. Cool phone though, I have the same one) and watched Dark Knight, then played a bunch of Shadow Of The Colossus because the people that live there really dig it and I guess it's a replayable game.


Saturday afternoon I get a message from Dico;
"Gracie's tonight at 8".
No. I didn't have my car and there's no busses, I had no way of getting there and I didn't really feel like doing all that again. And I knew it would be the same thing again.

I found out Sunday that I was right.
But whatever. I went over to frienemy's place in the crap part of downtown.

I should mention that he only got said place downtown because for the the entirety of the time I've known him, I've my own (alone) place downtown. The difference is that I'm actually from this city and wouldn't get a #####hole in the assend of downtown, like he did.

Anyway he, Sonia, and I watched "Christmas" movies. Only two of the three we watched were Christmas movies; The Muppet's Christmas Carol, and Nightmare Before Christmas. The other movie was Batman Returns (my favourite Batman movie, I don't care what you think) which at least happens during the Christmas times. After those we were thoroughly through with holiday movies for a while, so we watched a few How I Met Your Mother episodes on DVD and then I had to jet because of having to get up super early for work.

Aside, I have to say my frienemy is slowly becoming less of a tool now that he doesn't live at home. I'm not just saying that because he gave me a GL book I wanted and lent me Spaced on DVD. He's just getting not so annoying when it's us three, but is still really annoying with more people (he's competing in his head, I'm sure) or on MSN (and it is every day).

Anyway today I got up early and super-tired to go to work. Got in pretty well for once, since it's been hell with the weather and bus strike. Actually we were early. So we got breakfast. That made us late, but we knew that it would and didn't care because the bus strike allows us to be a bit late without consequence and this is my last week on my government contract so I've checked out anyway. Even so, I was only like 15 minutes "late".

I finished the work I had left from last week at quarter to ten. I pretended to work until my boos went on break at ten. When he came back I went over and he was (once again) surprised I was done so fast. He said he had nothing for me so I could just play on the computer or do whatever for a while. He never found anything for me to do for the rest of the day, so here's what I did at work today;

-I finished Kingdom Come, from half-way.
-I did a quick gestural marker drawing of Superman.
-I did a quick gestural marker drawing of Batman.
-I did a quick gestural marker drawing of Green Lantern.
-I did a quick gestural marker drawing of Supergirl.
-I did a quick gestural marker drawing of Catwoman.
-I did another quick gestural marker drawing of Catwoman.
-I did a dull pencil and pen doodle of Catwoman.
-I did a dull pencil sketch of Catwoman.
-I read the newest Penny Arcade comics and news.
-I read the newest Dr. McNinja comics.
-I read some VGCats news, but didn't care.
-I did a bunch of nothing.
-I tried to get around government website blocks to get on MMM or play a game.
-I read news articles.
-I sent people e-mails of dumb stuff I found online.
-I looked at lolcat pictures.
-I did a whole expert sudoku puzzle.

And I had lunch somewhere in there. And since I had to wait for the carpool, I left a half hour later than I normally would have. And my boss to not come in tomorrow since there's nothing. But I'll probably still get paid for it. Thursday is my last day, so apparently we're going out for lunch.

I'm just happy I can stay up a bit tonight and SLEEP in tomorrow.


This was a long post.

Well that's a given, really, since it's not like they straight ported the bitches.
Heheh, he said "straight ported the bitches".

Not really.
But I heard she has a daughter now.
But I heard it from a total wretch, who smells really #####ing bad and always has and is very greasy and likes Batman too much and whole bunch of other reasons I'm not in contact with him and haven't been since grade seven.

If you don't update soon I'm gonna chuck a wobbly.

I felt exactly the same about 360... And then Banjo dropped. And I've been making a mad amount of money for my age and living arrangements and hadn't spent a dime of it on frivolous things (or ANY things, I've just been banking it). Also peer pressure, but that's never really worked on me so I can't really count that but it probably greased things.

I guess all the planets lined up.

On the subject of the trophy system (which is the PS3 thing, yeah?) and all that new Sony jazz, I read some stuff today about PlayStation Home... Well, I'll just say the concept originally sounded awful, and now it sounds a lot worse.

Also, I was referring to SA:DX, as I never played the Dreamcast iteration.

Weird, I never played either of them on Dreamcast either, but I had the opposite experience with them on GC.

I know what you thinking. You thinking "duri'mastupiddorkwadnamedalec".
DON'T deny it, you twat!

I don't care if I get hardcover or paperback. Like, ever.

Severus is a weird name in general.

In Latin, it directly translates as "Grumpy."

It's not so much that, it's the order of the names-or rather the sound of them-that irks me. It's like they named the kid without listening to the name in their own head. It just sounds stupid.

yah basically u coulda just said "yeah dudes albus severus is a dumb name yo"

Yup... I'm the only person.

Nah, I know some that agree with you.
They're all wrong, of course, but you know.

The Ghost Of Christmas Past in Muppet's Christmas Carol is FAR creepier.

Like seriously. I watched that movie again yesterday so I KNOW.

It was the end of volume three, so it's not a skippable one. Also it was good.

I can't think of anything video games made me do that was new. I was mostly raised by TV instead, though I've been playing vidya games since '86.

I'm really trying to think of something that isn't like "Megaman made me draw robots" or some other dumb thing. The only thing closer than that is I like jumping and parkour stuff because of old 2D platforming, but that's probably not the reason I like that stuff anyway.

Maybe I like Street Fighting because of...


Tekken 3? Har. Har. Of course that's not true, Tekken 3 is awful.

OH ohh! I think Tony Hawk games helped me get into skateboarding. Like, I'd already been doing it a bit since I was younger but it brought the drive back, and my friends started too.

Everything I know about women I learned from Leisure Suit Larry.

That's how I learned to check the drain before ever turning on the faucet in a bathroom sink.

Really?
'Cause I learned everything I know about the Cold War from MGS3.

That must not be much.

I'm not sure about what's going on with Sarah in Terminator. It makes me uneasy, but it's probably not actually what you're suppposed to think. Every other storyline I'm digging.

I really enjoyed this week's Heroes. I feel good about volume four.

Uhm... So what is that achievement anyway?

-Was it SA or SADX? I can understand the former but I found the latter was overall better made than SA2:B.

I won't buy the new Sonic. I don't own my favourite Sonic so I'm not gonna start with something that will probably only be half-good.

-I wouldn't have gotten a 360 if it wasn't as damn fun as it is. I feel the same way as ASR; The Wii is my favourite but the 360 has.. something. I hate original XBox burningly. I hate how this 360 WILL fail me, though. I really do. It's one of the key reasons I held out so long on getting one.

Unfortunately, I'm starting to understand why people like the idea of achievements and gamerscores. Don't get me wrong; I don't like that idea. But holy ##### is it ever encouraging when you get an achievement by accident. It's got a sick pull or something that makes you happy about it when it's so unimportant.

-I keep playing Lego Indiana Jones even though it's not really good. I mean, Lego Star Wars 2 (which is the original only trilogy) was awesome and the demo of Lego Batman seemed like it'd be pretty good, but Indy is just... It's not on. Add to that the fact that I only really remember the story of Raiders Of The Lost Ark (my favourite one) and that even then the plot is hard to follow since there's no dialogue and these movies just aren't as epic as Star Wars, and it gets worse.

So why do I keep playing it? It's simple; I can turn off the sound, and watch TV shows on my laptop while mulling away at this game. And somehow, that makes the game really enjoyable.

Fable II won G4's GOTY.

That's really awful. Like I knew they were bad, but... wow. The game is not that good, it's just very good for me.

I had a crush on a Maegan in grade one.

Something bad just happened. My 360 just froze like it did when I was playing Fable II, but it did it during a cutscene in Lego Indiana Jones.

I dislike that game anyway, but now I'm worrying about my Box's health. If I get the RROD, is it even possible to recover save files?

Yeah I've seen those, (I have the first and last images saved somewhere too) but I'm not a fan of such shirts.

Everyone's out of your league when you don't play the game, son. But I'm always outnumbered, never outgunned.

And no I hate Megan she's a jerk that's why I pull her hair!

... she's priddy...

Upon playing the Mirror's Edge demo, I have to say I see what people mean about the controls and/or not really seeing what you're doing, but not it's an issue that's easily dealt with. Once you get past all the boring training it's pretty fun.

The only thing I really don't like is combat, since half the time I can't see what I'm doing. It also makes the ability to disarm someone completely useless if they know you're there.

I'd really rather it be that you have to get to wherever, sometimes with a time limit, and sure sometimes with some enemies, but most importantly if it was VERY free-roam. Because what I really want to do is just run around and jump buildings and stuff. I don't know if it IS like that or not, but that's what I'd like to do.

I definitely wouldn't want to wear or eat polio.

I know, right? It makes sense with the source material, but still..

Whatever. To die on the job is to die for Darkseid!

I want to marry you*

*Mikero

Well that makes one person, then. :-/

Alt.: Get in line! >:-D

Goin' straight through the hole
You ain't got no game
I'm breakin' ya out the frame
Coming through like a train
Looking to take over the world is my goal
With my unstoppable crew takin' all control
You can't get none of this, we're runnin' this
Well taker, earth shaker, 3 point gunnin' this
Get out the lane, I'm comin' through
And if you don't wanna move then I'm comin' right through you

It's like inch by inch and step by step;
I'm closing in on your position and destruction is my mission,
Though eight is not enough, your whole squad better duck.
It's like switch when I bust
Now you're whole crew is dust!
Comin' through my area, I'mma have to bury ya,
The real scream team on your scream scene.
It's like showdown on the range
Go tell me who wanna tangle with the
ghetto witch-doctor neighborhood superhero?

We want it aaaaalll!

(Uhm... Yeah, I have this song on my iPod...)


And yeah, Cool World is good. I like most Ralph Bakshi stuff. But I hate his Lord Of The Rings like I hate polio (verily).

Ohoho, I prefer red wines, cause I'm (part) FRANCH CANADIEN HONHONHON.

Oh Snare, we're our own Bon Cop Bad Cop!

Someone should make "Franch" dressing.

Megan is easy though.

I think next I'll play as what my friend pretends to be, she's not at all as evil as she'd like I guess.

"I. Am. The. New. God.  All is one in Darkseid.  This mighty body is my church.  When I command your surrender, I speak with three billion voices.  When I make a fist to crush your resistance, it is with three billion hands. When I stare into your eyes and shatter your dreams. And break your heart. It is with six billion eyes.

"Nothing like Darkseid has ever come among you: nothing will again.  I will take you to a hell without exit or end.

"And there I will murder your souls!

"And make you crawl and beg! And die! Die! Die for Darkseid!"

Really? That's very ridiculous. What is the point of that? It's just a demo of just one level. Unclench Microsoft, for God's sake.

With alcoholic drinks that aren't beer, I find I can't feel how much it's effecting me. With wine it's only a bit more delayed, but with things like rum or vodka it's almost not there though I know it must be.
