"Time to watch this movie I've been wanting to see for ages!" "...is that a loose thread? STRING!"

I've been rather hyper all day. Can't sit still to even play my game. Keep thinking I hear something scratching around in the bushes outside, like a cat or raccoon, but it goes on forever. Maybe it's the wind. Or a leprechaun hiding his pot o' gold. Or Michael Myers. No I'm not drunk. Gah, time for bed.

The past few nights I keep thinking I'll try "The Maze Runner," even tho it looks pretty YA silly, but each time I sit down on the couch, the cable VoD function suddenly ceases to work for 10-15 minutes ("sorry, service unavailable, reboot unit or try again later") and by the time it works again I'm off doing something else. Perhaps the movie gods are trying to tell me something.

So did the toddler accidentally switch the safety off while rummaging about in the purse, too, or did mommy not have it on? Or maybe it was a handgun with no safety. Well, it's sad, but ....

Either my car has developed a serious wobble, or it's very windy ... I hardly had to push the shopping cart, the wind blew it uphill for me! I can have a 4 hour computer task going and easily will still find an excuse to not do chores. Like, catch up on TV series. Or use other PC's to continue surfing the internet. Or make nooky with the spouse. Or take a nap. ...most chores are evil and generally to be avoided at all costs. Especially in winter. Unless I'm feeling obsessive about grout cleaning, which occasionally happens.

How's Act3?

Been there, done that, have the photos. There's something odd about doing tasks like that, where I can't help sitting there and watching the clock. Well, at least if it's a lot of those little 5-15 minute jobs, since leaving means I might lose time efficiency by not returning in a timely manner. If it's going to take an hour for every task, I'm outta there.

Previous thread ...I still don't know why this thread's title is traditionally always in caps.

Party on, Garth. Or something.

Welcome to the Obsidian Community Photo Sharing thread! Start of previous thread. A combination of "pics of yourself" and other photo topics common to many forums. If you feel comfortable sharing pics of yourself, this is the place. But if that isn't your thing, pics of your pets, your backyard garden project, vacation or that awesome sunset/nature/other photo you captured etc. can go here too. It's not the place to share funny internet memes, as we already have a thread for stuff like that. ----------------------------------- The most recent pics from the last thread, repeated here:

Been some great photos over the past year and a half or so. But finally time for a new version.

Start of previous thread End of previous thread Last couple posts etc.

Y'all talk too much. New thread time.

Anyone who's freezing is welcome to visit our house, where it's a sunny and balmy 53F during the day and 39F at night. We can have an evening volleyball beach party via torchlight! I know I'm a moderate wimp in either temp direction myself (all 72F, all the time is my dream) ... but I keep staring at my cat lounging in front of the heater, wondering why HE thinks he's cold, with that fur coat on and everything.

Maybe....it would be better, anyway. Perhaps a little more modern of a setting tho, not King's and castles.

I didn't say an rpg about a character who spends all day in their living and bathroom, trying to solve the mystery of a mysterious mold growing in their kitchen. Just...not "fantastical." I guess I'm burnt out on such from all the trends via movies and games and books. There was a time when something didn't have to be "fantastical" in order to still be entertaining.

I'd like a rpg that still has forests and lakes and mountains but no magic. And also not set in space or spaceships or aliens in every port or mega apocalyptic futures with mutated creatures etc. Basically I want something more down to earth and maybe even rather mundane in terms of setting/world....not fantastical in any way. The bad guys are just bad/ill tempered/immoral people, like in Westerns or old mysteries. Maybe I'm weird.

Loved original Tombraider, can't stand the new ones. But this doesn't mean I think all games today are worse than the ones of the past, or vice versa. I just take them all one at a time...or try to. I tend to have pretty narrowed tastes, tho, even from the beginning, so it's just difficult to find games that fit them. (in terms of finding games I'll play for ages, vs. fun but quick one-offs)

Today I felt like something more than yogurt and fruit etc. so I had some wonton soup with a small bowl o' fried rice and pork chow mien. I now feel like I have a bowling ball in my stomach. But it was tasty, and the soup is always nice on a chilly day. Time to find a movie to rent and settle on the couch a while.

True enough, but those grunts and few words felt right for the chr./made me like the chr. and were full of feeling! ...and in both cases, I didn't realize it was him until much later. Maybe they alter the voice in post-production a bit. I think it's often less the voice itself and more the immobile face that often goes with it.

It's funny because I think he does really well in his voice-over animated work. But his live-action stuff, I could often do without him opening his mouth. True of many action-dudes, really, outside of the occasional one-liners.

I don't think the image is making a judgement about what's good or bad...only about how times/attitudes change. Which is hilariously true...

This is true if you never go online. But as soon as you go online, Steam detects a patch is needed and even if you don't download it/have updates for the game disabled, will tend to disable the ability to launch the game again until you do update it (you get a "this game needs an update" type message). It might not do that for every single game, but in my experience it's been most games. Not that I own Steam's whole catalog or anything like that. Yes. When there's a patch/newer version you can download it when you want, often as a different file, so you can easily revert back whenever you want, if you want.

LOL....not just true of Skyrim, either. "I can carry 50 stone bricks and guns and canons etc. but not this one extra pair of socks..."

Just a few hours, I'd imagine.
