This has always been one of the most intriguing images from the original Conan movie.

This has always been one of the most intriguing images from the original Conan movie. I always wanted to see this happen, and now it is. Main question: since Mako is dead, who will deliver the bad-ass voiceover? On the same subject of revisiting a movie when the character is much older: I really want to see Vivica Fox's character's daughter from Kill Bill get HER revenge on the Bride for killing her mother. The Bride tells Nikki to find her, "if she still feels sore about it" as an adult.

Another one of my buddies is joining my ACKS campaign. He gave exactly the right amount of background info.

Another one of my buddies is joining my ACKS campaign. He gave exactly the right amount of background info. "You know this dude, Kadramas, is just a complete bad-ass!  He slew an Orc at the age of 14 and has been craving adventure ever since.  His sisters and parents are at home sniveling in fear of the Orcs on the Borderlands, but Kadramas, being the complete bad-ass that he is, must go slaying.  He has a spear!"

I'm a save scummer. I've always been a save scummer, and I always will be.

I'm about to play some XCom.

Image
I'm about to play some XCom. Why did I love this game so much as a teenager? Probably because in the mid 80's my mom told me she'd seen an author on Johnny Carson the night before named Whitley Strieber. Strieber started the modern alien abduction craze with his book "Communion." Mom described how Strieber claimed to have been visited by mysterious beings. He wouldn't identify them as aliens, but that's really what he was saying. I was fascinated and terrified by the thought of being taken from my bed at night by aliens. Then Mom bought the book. THE COVER. I could not let myself think about communion aliens at night. There would be no sleep if I did. So, when I see a communion alien, a gray, an X-Com sectoid, all I want to do is shoot it.

Picked up XCOM today.

Image
Picked up XCOM today. When I played the original it was so hard, it prompted me to learn how to use a hexidecimal editor so I could change my soldiers stats and give myself billions of dollars. I don't think I can do that on my PS3, but I still had to accept the "Classic" difficulty. "Only for experienced XCOM players." Fuck yeah, that's me. And holy shit, I haven't felt my heart pound while playing a video game in forever. Skyrim is pretty, but this game is all about tension .  I gasped when my sniper was wounded. Now she's out of action for 9 days. FUCK!

So I can't watch the debates. I want to curl up into the fetal position and plug my ears. But I get the impression that this is how it went down.

I believe that life begins at Inception. Seriously, that movie changed me forever.

I demand to be pandered to! I'm glad they use the term "nones." It's more inclusive than the horribly pretentious "brights." Barf. http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2012/10/09/non_religious_americans_now_one_fifth_of_the_population_according_to_pew_survey_.html

To avoid my daughter's sleepover last night, my brother and I went to first, The Master, and then, Dredd.

To avoid my daughter's sleepover last night, my brother and I went to first, The Master, and then, Dredd. I tell you what, Joaquin Phoenix would be doing hard time in the iso-cube if he'd pulled that shit on Dredd. In short, The Master was no There Will Be Blood, and Dredd hit all my '80s dystopian sci-fi buttons. If Robocop is your idea of a sci-fi classic, you will like Dredd.

Dear Google Play, please implement a shopping cart feature so that when I buy a bunch of $0.

Dear Google Play, please implement a shopping cart feature so that when I buy a bunch of $0.25 apps they can all go on one transaction and my wife won't yell at me while she's entering them into Quicken one at a time. Thanks.

Cirlcle Organization Time

Cirlcle Organization Time Wow. Almost 450 people have me in circles, but about half those people are not in my circles. I don't post publicly usually, so if you want please tell me what circles you want into. If you already see my personal posts, you are already circled. Gaming/Nerdery: RPGs, miniatures games, video games, boardgames, sci-fi, movies, TV, books, comics, etc. Android: like the phones, not Data from Star Trek. I just installed Ubuntu and this might turn into a Android/Linux circle. Science/Skepticism/Atheism: I don't think I've made any posts just to this circle, but if it gets big enough I might. My internet arguing days are done for the most part, so this would mostly be for talking about interesting stories in the news having to do with these things. So define yourselves and I will sort you thusly.
