^ I still have no interest in this game, but if I did try it out one day, this would be me.

There's lots of brown eggs in the grocery store. But it's true that often in movies and TV shows and ads, eggs shown tend to be the white ones so the association tends to be with those, for many. I find the only difference to be that brown eggs (sold here) seem to have a bit thicker shells. And tend to be a little smaller than the "jumbo" white eggs can be.

Yes! A hi-res .exe for Caesar3. Thank the heavens. So now instead of having to stare at this on my not 4:3 monitor: I can look at this: My visual sanity is saved!

Abraham on the show feels too much like he's being used almost as comic-relief, so far, the way the actor is playing him. It doesn't fit, for me.

Noticed I'd missed The Voice blind auditions (the only part of that show I care about) but lucky for me there's on-demand. So I watched the 1st one. For some reason it always makes me smile - the combo of the silly judge banter and the reactions of the singers when/if chairs turn. I could use some smiles today, so it was a nice way to relax, even if I can't fast forward through the filler. Also making me smile: Mushroom cat. (kitten was being tube-fed so they were using the costumes to keep kitty still)

I know this is one of many topics that can be touchy and tempers may flare, but perhaps we could try discussing differing opinions without behaving as if intelligence-slurs etc. are actually debate points.

Only my mother could make salmon and red snapper in a way that I liked them. Although I do like smoked salmon, if it's the more dry kind vs. the super-moist kind. I have no idea what's for dinner tonight, since I didn't feel like cooking. One of those fend for yourself times I think.

Walking Dead - omg, Denise Crosby! ....and the obvious Terminus scenario is obvious. Of course, they could be just be messing with our minds, making it seem so.

"This is Planet Earth! You're looking at planet Earth! Bopbopbop bopbopbop!" ...if it helps get the housework done...

Yeah, we can understand that. ...yeah yeah.

Until you want the patch....

Finally feeling like I need a bit of a break from Banished ... which leaves me once again staring at the Steam pages without really knowing what I'm looking for. Which means in the end, I'll probably just go back to Banished. Or Dungeon Keeper. Or Caesar3. Although, I've kind of had an urge to install the first early version of Planet Explorers and dig another underground fortress...

This combo doesn't sound like my belly would approve.

I didn't find it surprising, because I was familiar with the comics up to a certain point. There's a similar plotline in them and it was easy to see that's where they were going in the TV series. But it was nice they didn't wimp out at the end and they did it very well ... it might have been cool if they'd switched it around, but at the same time I suppose that wouldn't have had the same shock value for most.

That was a really long .gif to sit through, but with the IceAge reference, it was worth it.

That ball-bomb launcher is really interesting...

Visiting my fave Red Sox blogs again and starting to think about baseball.

I miss my stuffy Templar sidekick. He made me giggle.

Mentally distracted a lot lately. One big situation I've been dealing with for a while, a couple more recent smaller ones, all potentially life altering in some way, mostly emotionally but also other ways. I know I'm being vague, not ready to be less vague. Some days it catches up and feels like swimming through taffy. Like staring at pad of paper because you were going to write a simple grocery list and then realizing you haven't written anything for 20 minutes. I mean, that happens to me occasionally anyway, but now it's happening a lot more often. At least the days have continued to be quite nice. I bought some more live-catnip pots for the windowsill. Some people have window gardens full of thyme and basil or whatever ... I have catnip.

It's weird how I can enjoy running around a game firing gunz and tossing grenades, but somehow mayhem with tanks and planes and all of that interests me not at all.

The youtube embed still-image is hilarious and made me lol. Looks pretty generic MMO-wise, but who knows. It might be fun(ny) to run around with that sword. Maybe. Can't really tell much from a trailer like that. Nice scenery...

I'll see your tank army and raise you my genetically mutated super-cat army... Don't think I'd be interested in a tank MMO. A general MMO I might at least look at. Tank type games, not my thing. Which is fine...I don't have to be into every game Obsidian wants to make, in order to love Obsidian for the games they make that do fall into my areas of interest. I wish them luck, and I'll still be curious about previews and stuff.

I grew up then, so yes, I was around. But I didn't listen to hard rock/heavy metal that much. Def Leppard's Pyromania, Sammy Hagar, a bit of Van Halen, few Judas Priest hits, that sort of thing. I was more into the "new wave". That one Quiet Riot song is all I really heard/saw on MTV all the time and I didn't buy their album. Most 80's collections will just have that one song, so it's just what I joke. I think I have heard the Metal Health song before, tho. P.S. - I'm 45, btw. By the mid-late 80's I actually stopped paying a lot of attention to the music scene in favor of other stuff. Which is why I'm stuck in the 80's half the time. :D

HBO typically costs an extra $18-$20 a month. Sometimes if you haven't had it in a while they'll give you one of those "$10 for first year" deals. But considering cable (with AMC access) usually runs $60-100+ a month (depends on area, company, package, HD or not etc), plus any on-demand rentals you may also accrue, many don't want to pay the extra for stuff like HBO/Showtime/Starz, especially these days.
