I love picking up my cat because he likes to lick my face and nibbles on my hair like he thinks he's a puppy. Which makes my face swell up a bit and itch like mad before I dash to the bathroom to rinse. But it's worth it! ...contemplating ordering some cheap Chinese food or making something out of the fridge, after which I shall holler to my spouse to get off that darn BL2 game so I can watch some TV.

No offense to Jackson, but I like this "I am the danger" video better. (mild language) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sT6dPpZ9C68

I think I heard California was trying to get a $12 minimum wage going recently. Did that go through? Not that $12/hour gets you very far in metropolitan Calif.

That's another one that I looked at on Steam's early access. When I watch the preview video, it looks awesome, but at this point I know it's best - at least for me - to wait until there's a finished product/reviews. I still believe Molyneux could/can make good games, if he could reign in his personal ambitions/visions just a little bit to fit into more realistic boxes. Or something. Hopefully he listens to the feedback.

Looks a little bit like my first cat ever, actually, except mine was a bit more long-haired.

I mostly like 50-60fps (at high settings) so I know I have large amount of wiggle-room for those areas/situations where the fps sometimes spikes down dramatically, in some games. If games stayed at a constant 35-40fps and never moved from that, I'd be fine, but most of the time they don't, so....

Someone over Something Awful praised, said "The game really has that Fallout "feel", in my opinion, and the combat, for one, is very good and varied for a single character RPG.". Most likely going to get it myself once it's finished. Yeah, if it continues to get good marks as it progresses, I'll definitely want to try it. I'm almost curious enough to try it as it is now, but I've been learning that while I do like getting early glimpses or playing in final development stages, I don't think I like playing a game too early in its development stage. Getting attached to stuff and then having it be taken out, or whatnot.

Female sees kitten: "Aww, it's so cuuuuuute!" Female sees pic of her best friend's new bf: "Dang, woman, he's cute!" World of difference, see?

KaineParker's hopefully attractive women thread.
LadyCrimson replied to Rosbjerg's topic in Way Off-Topic
I think we're starting to occasionally stray a bit too far into "who has the best butt cheeks/butt floss" vs. generalistic "attractive women." It's a hard thing to judge at times, given all the varying degrees of what's PG-13 these days and what's not, so I'm not going to spend time editing out what's there already, but let's try to avoid more of it or there might not be a 3rd thread. -
That's an interesting mix...certainly handsome. And there's nothing wrong with the word "cute." Don't know why so many guys don't like that word. Cute can have multiple meanings and implications to women, just depends.

Was surfing through the indie list on Steam and noticed the Kickstarter project Castle Story is on there now as "Early Access." It's not getting very good marks/rep seems like, and I have doubts they're ever going to finish that one. There's also Underrail (turn based rpg, more promising), Prison Architect (looks funny) and Folk Tale (city-build/strategy, reminds a bit of Majesty). I'd try the Prison one but it's rather pricey for early access and Folk Tale has no save-game yet.... Anyone tried the Underrail one?

I don't know about what my eyes are supposed to be able to do...all I know is these days, on modern games with all the bells and whistles, if the fps starts falling below 35fps, I feel like I'm swimming in molasses. It's certainly playable and it's not all herkyjerky, but it's still not visually fluid or smooth. The difference is highly noticeable (vs. 50fps and above). On older games, however, it seemed like you could play games at 20fps and it still felt largely fine. At least in solo-play.

He's pretty cute...probably cuter than his dad was at that age. I wonder if he'll look as weathered, in 15 years.

To quote hubby: "I'm all out of Dexter." Thus he's been watching another Showtime show, called The Big C. I've only seen a few of the episodes and some scenes as I walk by. Seems rather uneven but bits of its black comedy is pretty funny.

About to curl up under some blankets and watch the 1937 comedy film Topper. I love that movie.

*Wants a new bluray/dvd player* Store clerk: Can I help you find anything? I'm the expert in this section. Me: Are any of these still a "dumb" blu-ray player? Store clerk: *silence* ...even the dumbest still has (optional) internet connectivity and a boot-up time. I think that's what I dislike the most about a lot of the new media units. Boot-up time. When I turn something on, I want it to be functional as instantly as possible, like the old days. Not have to stand there for many seconds, disk in hand, waiting for the darn unit to decide it's ready. Boot up time is ok for a computer, not so awesome for a DVD player.

There aren't many (active) around here these days. And I personally try to stay out of the chest-beating discussions as a general rule, because really, I'd rather spend my time playing with a cat or something.
-
His supposed more mainstream films have lost some of his original touch. I don't think he's ever been comfortable doing the mainstream (non-"independent"), since his Army of Darkness experience. Could be why he's moved so far into producing instead.

I have no clue what the long wig and stuffed dragon toys pinned to long underwear are supposed to be.

The Appeal of Fantasy
LadyCrimson replied to mcmanusaur's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
I voted Escapism, but for me it really sorta depends on what one means by fantasy. eg I don't see fantasy as limited to magical kingdoms with Princes, Kings, and Elves ... even if that's what is commonly used/referred to as fantasy. Games are escapes from having to think about reality (or sometimes, from having to think at all), and thus I don't really want to play brutal war games with "realistic" guns n' violence, wrack my brain to figure out real-world based scientific puzzles/issues, or manage a career track for a Sim while managing its emotive moods and potty cycles. I just want to turn on a game and have it be immersive enough for me that it's like having tunnel vision...where for a while, nothing else matters and all my focus is bent towards the game. And most of the time, that's been in games with a fantasy type emphasis. -
What's wrong with Rami? I know he can be a little weird so he doesn't fit all projects (who does), but seems like it's popular to dislike him these days...I figured because some people didn't like his Spiderman. As to Colin Farrell ... I don't get their attitude towards him in that article. Have they not seen In Bruges? It's not like he's a crap actor. Not the best, but not crap either. As to a Warcraft movie in general....meh. I wouldn't hold my breath re:quality, no matter who's involved.

It did feel a bit anticlimactic, what with all the build up. Rather mellow pacing and conclusion, mostly. But it was pretty emotionally sad. I'm not sure it contradicted chr. evolution too much. He was always a waffler, at least in terms of personal motivations.
-
Yeah....Jessie and Walt's son's bits were wrenchers. I guess we know now where that time went. A slow, calm before the storm episode, which I appreciated. Not to mention...Robert Forster as the "vacuum cleaner guy". That was awesome. Going to be watching that in a bit.

I saw the word "pizza" enough times in this thread that for a second I thought I'd mis-clicked and was in the "What's for dinner" thread. ...and Neverwinter is still the only game I log into a bit each day. Must...get...that Pray reward companion...

Stayed up way too late, then slept too much. Now tapping feet for Breaking Bad ... 30 minutes and counting... Also ... it took a while, but Mr. Black now jumps up and sits on the toilet whenever he hears the shower running, meowing and trying to poke his nose in. I guess he is a ... Peeping Tom!
