More Red Dead Redemption. I have this weird feeling that the character known as "Uncle" is going to do something catastrophic to me. . . .for those that have played red dead, no spoilers please!

I haven't played the game, but with a character name like "uncle" I'd expect bad things from him too.

I'm going to predict something that includes, "Say my name!"

Finished watching Season 2 of Sonic X. The last minute of the last episode rocked, in an unrealistically cheesy sort of way.

If you really want to see it.

playing stalker, got a mission to clear out a group of bloodsuckers from a village. wound up doing it at night, somehow aggroing ALL of them at once and had to take them out with the knife when my gun jammed.

At least you didn't have one of those mind-raping jerks join them in the field. That was not a fun mission with one of those controllers around.

Dealing with 4+ bloodsuckers simultaneously while having my screen freak out and see a deformed head? Make the game more fun why don't ya. Oh yeah, that was also my first encounter with a controller while at it. However, I beaned the guy between the eyes in 1-3 shots before another bloodsucker or 2 were about to ambush me. Didn't expect to survive it.

It's kinda funny. I don't know which mod of mine let me walk so far out of bounds. Maybe I just found a hole in the invisible wall fence?

It is surprising you didn't go all GTA and fall through the floor, only to fall from the sky somewhere else.

[Gunner-Chan]

I tried. I just fell and fell and fell. Got boring.

Spoiler: It's more fun to beat up Argonians for their lunch money (click to show/hide)

Well you missed out on a great chance to grind your screaming skill.

It has been an...unusually unusual day. At the beginning of the day, I took a count to find that there were 12 of my laptops in stock. No, that was not number of models. That was the total available to sell. (This number is usually above 70 or so, just for reference.) So, I figured it was going to be a long day, because all of the lappies under $450 were sold out, but people were strangely receptive to being redirected to what was in stock. A couple hours into my shift, I was bending down to pick up a pack of ink that was on the floor, and tore the crotch out of my pants.  Everyone was empathetic when I ran into hiding, and the store manager shared a funny story with me while I waited for the wife to bring me a new pair of pants. Shortly after I got my new khakis, I spent almost an hour talking to a seriously cool young lady who wound up being a reviewer for a tech blog. I gave her my sales pitch on various cool stuff in one of our laptops (CoolSense, ProtectSmart, Beats Audio, etc,) and she invited me to write for her blog, in exchange for the occasional gadget instead of money.  Mid explanation on why we killed the TouchPad, the lights in the store went out. This, of course, meant that I could not punch out. So, after the employees kicked everyone out, I spent half an hour talking to people on the phone, trying to figure out what to do.

Why does any of this make me happy? Well, despite all the setbacks, I stayed upbeat and cheerful. I had a pollyanna day, and hey...new pants.

I'm learning how to write a bill at the moment. This is very interesting stuff.

I got three huge rolls/stapled together pads of architecture blue(white?)prints from the recycling behind the city office thingie. (It's a pretty small town, population is about 13,000).

So cool, I might hang some them up in my room, or find out where they were being built and have almost correct blueprints to start a life of crime with.

I think most of them are just typical house blueprints, but I'm hoping to find something awesome in there.

But my mom wants to let the toddler/baby color on all of them. :/

I'm a huge dork for space exploration.  My dad is a professional dork.  We both enjoy laughing at bad movies.  Naturally, we went to see Apollo 18.  Our criteria in mind, we were not disappointed.

Spoiler: Where's Tom and Crow when you need them... (click to show/hide)

Our biggest question about the movie, knowing basically the entire plot since the trailers give it all away, was what kind of moon monster can you pass off to audiences in the year 2011?  I think the first serious movie about what crazy stuff astronauts would find was 1964, with giant fly-men.  You can't even try to use something that crap these days, except as a joke.

Turns out, moon crabs.  Seriously?  That's what you're bringing to the table now, moon crabs?  That turn people into moon zombies?

Like I said, we were not disappointed, and clearly the rest of the audience shared our understanding if not our taste.  Telling that a major movie premiering on a holiday weekend could only attract about twenty people for a evening showing in a big city.

Also, they're making another remake of The Thing.  That should be stupid, but reminded me of the John Carpenter remake, and that movie was terrific.  Like, the real kind.

Don't waste blueprints on baby doodling if you at all can, there's plenty of less interesting paper available.

[Max White]

I agree, it would be heart breaking to destroy the hard work of architects. Keep them, preserve them, protect them!

Not a remake but a prequel. Hopefully they get the atmosphere right like the remake.

I totally agree with both statements, but I don't think that it's an argument that I'll be able to win. But I was able to take one of them, I think I'll go through it and keep it. It's for some 'art house', seems to be a museum of some sort. The other two were residential housing, one was a 'rehabilitation' of an existing place, and one was a new apartment building (as far as I can tell). They're definitely cool though, maybe I'll be an architect?
Hrmm. I hate the fact that I have to decide what I'll be doing for most of my life so early. There's so many options. Too many.
