Yeah, yeah... I'm here.
Okay, I got violently ill with a flu or something (maybe something bacterial?) monday night, and I still feel like shit-- but not like boiled ass drowned in shit. So that's good. I guess.
What sucked is I became sick while Scott and Juana were here. Thanks to them for taking care of me a bit when Sharon was called into work.
Anyway, enough of that. here are some things of interest, I guess.
- First up, do know that many people who play video games are indeed fucking retarded. So don't look at the comments on the place I'm linking to. Okay? Promise? I'm telling you, they will just piss you off to no end. Here's an article talking about McCain using the Medal of Honor: European Assault score as a part of his advert-wank campaign. Right. And the composer is pissed because he's an Obama man. Right right. Know what irks me? None of these rocket scientists in the fucking comments noticed the following irony (or whatever): McCain says "Only a fool or a fraud talks tough or romantically about war". Got that? Read it again. Let it sink in. Now add the fact that he's using the score of a (ahem) VIDEO GAME ABOUT PLAYING UR DUDES KILLING BASES OF DOODS IN WW2. In other words: McCain proves yet again, this time in a small way, that's he's just a piece of shit who's only claim to fame is that he can be shot down by Southeast Asian folks with the best of them. A feat I'm sure is hard to achieve, right? He musta had to work really hard to earn that. (In fact, he did! It's tough to be a pilot! Which is something I will even give the King Bushes credit for; the Elder One more so-- dive-bombing is serious biness, kids).
- Don't flip me shit. Dude was shot down and captured-- which doesn't qualify him to be in political office in any way, shape or form. So let's look at his other... ugh. Lame. Dude's lame. It was a rough gig in 'Nam for him, yeah. But I bet he was still glad he wasn't infantry. Or a regular "nobody" pilot.
- Enough political yibber yabber. They're all fuckers. Obama is just the one least likely to make me want to cleanse myself with fire after voting for them.
- This happened practically outside my door. Glad everyone lived. Drake got a great show... There were over a dozen emergency vehicles of all kinds. Road is still closed off.
- Someone here posted this choice quote from author Terry Goodkind:
"First of all, I don’t write fantasy. I write stories that have important human themes. They have elements of romance, history, adventure, mystery and philosophy. Most fantasy is one-dimensional. It’s either about magic or a world-building. I don’t do either.
And in most fantasy magic is a mystical element. In my books fantasy is a metaphysical reality that behaves according to its own laws of identity.
Because most fantasy is about world-building and magic, a lot of it is plotless and has no story. My primary interest is in telling stories that are fun to read and make people think. That puts my books in a genre all their own."
My first question: Does Mr. Goodkind have an industrial band? Industrial fans will know what I mean, especially if you are familiar with the whole "We're not Industrial" bullshit made popular in the 90s.
Also: Goodkind, based on this quote, you're a douche. I don't read your books anyway. The only person I know who does is an ex who would probably be better off getting a brain transplant from a half-dead, partially mentally deranged seal. And that's being the good kind of kind. GET IT?
- Yes, yes. Moving on.
- Microwaves blowing shit up. Watch and learn kids!
- Here's a classic: Spellcasting 101. Learn magic! Just like the kind (the D&D kind!) churches warn you about!!1 You rule, Bill.
- 2 Videos you MUST see, especially if you live in the US (though it may work for Canadians, too). Part One is here. Just find Part two from there. The moral of the story? Never, EVER talk to the cops. Keep your goddamned mouth shut. Even if you're innocent.
- Jason is a man. He's a man who does a great webcomic. It's called Hellbent...and for a small price, you can even be in it. Yes! That's right-- YOU!! You who nobody except maybe your mom (and me, of course) cares about. Go to Hellbent and find out how you can be immortalised FOREVER (or something). Plus, you will be supporting the arts. You like art, don't you???
- And let's get caught up on Orcusville, shall we?
Love?
Love Under Pain
By Any Other Name
- Free RPG Day is this Saturday! I get more excited about this than Free Comic Book Day, honestly. (Not that I hate FCBD or anything!) Find out if your friendly local shop is participating. Mine is. HUZZAH! Free dice, minis and other RPG stuff? Nine levels of Hells Yeah.
- Holy crap I'm babbling on, aren't I. I also picked up the third expansion to Munchkin. It's nice. I got to play a game of Cthulhu Munchkin before it took off with it's daddy, Scott. Great game. Will be buying it soon.
- Oh, and the new Blood Bowl comic is pretty good... but I dunno about the art. It's almost too "artsy-euro" for my tastes, if that makes sense. Nothin' against the artist personally, but it really distracted from Forbeck's excellent handling of Nuffle's Sport. And wow, take a look at that new Boom site. Nice.
Oof... enough for me here. Being sick and run down has been sucky. It also fouls my mood. Did you know there's a street here called Foul Bay? Whenever we're on it, I always call it Lord Foul's Bay. Heh.
I must be sick.
Note: Shouts out to the various people I nicked links from.
wire_mother is one, but I'm so fuzzy headed... well... yeah. Excuses, excuses, I know.
