Ah, Monday. The weekend was too brief, as always. Bro goes to court this morning. We see if he spends the next year in jail or not.



I spent much of yesterday walking on slight disconnect. It seemed almost like I was a little bit outside of my body, controlling it remotely. Minor numbness, sort of how I picture Boston Brand and his hosts.

Las Olas Alley

Walkabout... Alleyway, 21 w Las Olas Blvd, Fort Lauderdale.
I wander through here pretty much every day after work.


I'm having too much fun fiddling with autostitch. I may make the largest version a wallpaper on one of the computers at work.

All kids love log!

I also found a stickerart (graffiti) pool in flickr.



Would people who imprison others called imprisoners? That's a clumsy term.



The New Harry Potter Book (both text and audio book) were available for bittorrent download within 12 hours of its release. I can't search for nice legal public domain books without tripping over the dang thing. A wide assortment of formats, rtf, pdf, txt... you name it.

Also, 827 pages? somehow, I suspect the dire need of an editor still remains.


[livejournal.com profile] waxy_org spotted this thread.



Looks like a zombie variant on the old vampire game. from the same guy that came up with the original plans for the Zombie Infection Simulator (This revision is the best I've seen of the ZIS. A lot more features than the one I put together.)



I'm officially sick of the Bard's Tale. total play time, about 5 hours, give or take, in 1-2 hour bites. some cute moments, but meh. If I could save at any time, and not just at certain way points, I'd have liked it a lot more. Nothing makes me toss a game aside faster than "Whoops, you lost, go back and do the same 20 minute brainless series of combats again". After doing that thrice or so, I'm finished.

Maybe I'll come back to it after I've taken a FarCry break. Maybe not. Depends on what's on my plate. I'm only up for so much whack-a-mole, no matter how cute the in-jokes are.



It's been said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I don't know about that, but I have been seeing a lot of "flattery" lately. Not the basic stuff; passing around links and quizzes is a lot of what is fun, but replicating the format down to "Moment of lyric" and so on is sort of weird. I hope that they find their own voice soon.



Speaking of the Moment of Lyric:

Blame it on the Tetons. Yeah, I need a scapegoat now.
No my dog won't bite you, though it had the right to.
You oughta give her credit cuz she knows I would've let it
happen.

Blame it on the weekends. God I need a cola now.
Oh we mumble loudly, wear our shame so proudly.
Wore our blank expressions, trying to look interesting.
Blame it all on me cuz God I need a cold one now.

All them eager actors gladly taking credit
for the lines created by the people tucked away from sight
is just a window from the room we're bound to.
If you find a way out, oh would you just let me know how?
Would you just let me know how?

Blame it on the web but the spider's your problem now.
Language is for liquid that we're all dissolved in.
Great for solving problems, after it creates a problem.
Blame it on the Tetons. God, I need a scapegoat now.

Everyone's a building burning
with no one to put the fire out.
Standing at the window looking out,
waiting for time to burn us down.
Everyone's an ocean drowning
with no one really to show how.
They might get a little better air
if they turned themselves into a cloud.

It's log, it's log, it's big, it's heavy, it's wood!
It's log, it's log, it's better than bad, it's good!

What's the matter, Susie, what's the matter, Jill?
We're sick of our toys, we've had our fill!
Dollies are boring! And I hate to cook!
We want a NEW toy!
Well, let's have a look...

Ha ha, I watched WAY too much Ren and Stimpy growing up. I really think it was one of the formative shows of my childhood. That might explain a lot.

What rolls down stairs
Alone or in pairs...
Rolls over your neighbor's dog?
What's great for a snack
And fits on your back?
It's Log! Log! Log!
It's Lo-og, it's Lo-og
It's big, it's heavy
It's wood!
It's Lo-og, Lo-og
It's better than bad
It's good!!!

I loved me some Ren & Stimpy, too... back when it was fun-nay! :D

On the Zombie game, I'm playing a medic type but I can't work out how to tell how hurt someone is. And since thats how I get most of my XP its a little annoying.

I've got a firefighter... he's got an axe and wirecutters... my first skill to pick up will be first aid at 100xp.

I guess you hope for realtime communication?

Real time communication that didn't cost AP would be nice.

I've gathered a little selection of gear (spare pistol clip, first aid kit, bottle of wine (downed), a book, crucifix, wirecutters, and a single shotgun shell.

I've found out that I need to get 150xp to get the Diagnose skill which tells me how hurt someone is. Jeez. They don't make it easy.

I'd like to see the code for it.. I wanted to do a ravenblack variant for a bit, too.

HP is only 652 pages long. Wonder if the ones you saw are fake or just in a bigger, font.

Could be either-or!

"only" 652 is still rather a stretch! :D
