Never mind the pizza review ... it's the kitten.

Well, when you finish it, let me know the title so I can play it.

Maybe in the long term that couple is less worried about the bullets themselves and more concerned about why they were there in the first place. eg, maybe someone wants them back, haha.

There's not much to spoil. It's just characters much more fleshed out, one character arc/background that was removed (the "wolfman" the group found in a car on the way). It all added up to tons of extra pages, but it wasn't anything vital nor did it change anything. More filler, more character depth.

You have a pool, Keyrock? I didn't care that much about it when we had one, but now that we don't, I miss it.... Thinking about going to Fry's and spending money on some non-virtual things.

I have over a million AD between all my chrs and another 1.1 million AD sitting in the AD exchange waiting for the price to come down so I can get a tiger mount. Bah. If it doesn't come down where I want it in a few weeks, by then I may cancel the exchange offer and put it back up for a bit higher/spend more. The only thing I buy on the AH, most of the time, is blue Leadership workers (when they're 60-65k) to eventually turn into Hero's (the faster to make AD with...) and the occasional profession resource (like ores in bulk, time-saver). The rest is saved for Zen exchange or for when my alts finally reach 60 (highest is only 43 I think) and I feel like buying them some cheap purple gear. I haven't even been doing any dailies. I'm tempted to make another few Leadership alts but was trying to save those slots for the new race/class. Imagine if you had the max 50. A month and you'd have 30million or something.

Sand gets into everything.

I'm back to not having enough of an attention span or the patience to learn anything new/play anything for more than 10-15 minutes in a row. Break time.

Salem's Lot with David Soul was the first King mini-series. And it scared the crap out of me when I was 11. Altho it was originally going to be a movie I think, then they turned it into a short (2-night?) mini-series instead. Then turned it into a movie again with a shortened/edited version. I loved The Langoliers - the story, that is. I've read and re-read it numerous times. The mini-series, not so much. Especially Bronson Pinochet's (or whatever his name is) performance. The Stand - Ray Walston, Rob Lowe, Gary Sinise, Miguel Ferrer, and Bill Fagerbakke were all outstanding. Couldn't stand Molly Ringwold or Corin Nemec...they ruined a lot of scenes for me just by opening their mouths. But it's still one of the best of King's TV adaptions (and the book itself a classic King epic ... both original and extended versions).

This usually occurs whenever my spouse says something about him not porking out on the pizza this time.

Under the Dome, the first two episodes. I loved Steven King's early/middle career but haven't really kept up with his later career, so hadn't heard of either the book or that they were turning it into a long mini-series/maybe series. Just ran across it by accident in the VoD menu. The pilot was very fun for the first half, then all those Stephen King staple stock chrs/situations started popping out in force... which in a novel can still be awesome but in a show with no inner-voice narrative often results in a B-movie cheesecake feeling. --small 1-sherrif town that seems to consist of about 30 houses and one church, in a crisis that brings out the worst in most people --obsession with birds as a symbolic death theme or whatever it is --obsession with people spouting nonsense or rhymes or something while in a trance/seizure/rapture... --the reluctant stranger/outsider --the crazy nut teen who's angry/rejected and violent (and a source for major cheese lines) --the town mayor/council/whatever with a secret and who maybe isn't so nice after all --the fallen/corrupt priest type of chr. ...anyway, the pacing of the show is very fast-food edible, but the 2nd episode became pretty silly in that King mini-series way. I'll probably still watch it, tho, to see how it all goes. The fact that the actor who plays Walter White's brother-in-law in Breaking Bad has a major role in it is major attraction for me. He's fun to watch, even when doing cheese. ...I should buy the book, too. I'm sure I'd enjoy it a lot more than the TV series.

Dear SF Giants: So, guys, what's upppppppp? Can we do a little better than last place? Dear Red Sox: Even if it falls apart at the end, it's still overall far more than I was expecting from the year. Which of course, makes it more interesting.

that's a cash shop item for trolling other players :D Well, that's just rude ...but funny.

Dear Diary: outside achieved (it's cooled off today and late afternoon feels good instead of "I'm mellltingggg"), a little color in the face, a little exercise, blah blah ... I'm ready to be a couch potato for the evening. If it stays this temp, might try a long hike tomorrow morning. Just not too steep. The downhill would kill me. I'm not a huge exercise sort these days but this knee stuff has even me feeling like more of a log than I want to be. Or maybe the beach...walking a few miles on sand might be good.

That's how I'm interpreting it, based on Sawyer's wanting opinions and various other things. I'm still a bit sad I won't get to see how it would've worked ... unless they put it in as a hardcore/expert/whatever mode option or something ... but seems to be a case of wanting input, input given/mulled over, decision made. I'm fine with that happening here and there and for ideas they're bandying about and are curious what the players might think. Sometimes the players have awesome ideas and input. I just don't want to see it happen constantly to the point where I start to feel like their own vision might get lost a bit too much. I'm pretty sure that won't happen, but it does cross my mind once in a while.

Kids have it/will have it so easy now/future. I didn't have any video games to teach me/make math fun. We had...paper flash cards and chalkboards and sometimes even drew figures in the dirt! So boring. If I had had something else, maybe I wouldn't have flunked math all the time ... wait...nah, I still would have had to show up to class. nvm. ...seriously tho, I'm all for having as many teaching tools as possible, games or otherwise. The better to have a chance of accommodating multiple learning styles. We don't all learn (the fastest/the easiest) the same way.

I've wanted a high life steal (mine's still sitting at around 11% I think) and a shorter cycle time on Sunburst (Recovery). eg, I'd love to be able to spam Sunburst...not as much dmg of course, but with its own skill-healing effect + lifesteal, it might be...fun. ...still need lots more AD's to really experiment with that sort of thing tho - it's never enough since I buy everything on the AH at this point. At least I have a good chunk of time before the expansion (which I think will have new soloable campaign areas?) to stock up. ...I didn't realize/notice that dye pack was Zen-shop available, either. I just noticed it in the lockbox merchant.

Well, on the one hand, I'm kinda sad I won't ever get to see the original vision they came up with, to see how it truly worked/felt first-hand instead of just assuming it would suck. But on the other hand, I never cry over the lack of a durability mechanic.

Google/YouTube's forced me into their new menu/interface now. All I have to say is ... YUCK. Tired of being inside today...time to go outside for a bit.

I am so lost in this game, it's like everything's in a foreign language and I'm supposed to know it already. Do I need this? Do I already have that? Am I wasting XP points? What is that/why do I need it? I'm supposed to go where? Eh? What? Who? lol Also ... why am I/others dancing when I just want to build stuff? Because I got some achievement unlock at the building station?

I'd be ok with that, especially if you had to find the master teachers ... eg, they're not just hanging around in town picking their noses waiting for you have the cash to click on them. They don't have to be super hard to find, but some kind of effort required. And yeah...I feel for the developers too. Can't please everyone all the time and all of that. I still hope that they will at least stick to whatever things they may strongly want for their game and not be tooooo influenced by all the armchair posting. I have tons of my own preferences, like anyone else, but frankly I want to have a game by Obsidian, not a game "by the masses," if that makes sense.

I hit Reply on the last game mail exchange we had to send you a dye pack, which seemed to just use your @ name, no chr. name. Did you get it? I'm still not confident about this mail system. Haha. ...I wish it was double-diamonds all the time. I'm just raking it in. Now, if people would stop asking for quite so much for AD to Zen exchange ... just a little bit lower, that's all I want ... I could get that tiger mount and still have a decent amount of diamonds left over.

The only problem with the Dread is I can't stand his main weapon. That delay is far too long (the assault gun is fine tho). I love the way the Recon "feels" but yeah, so fragile. We'll see. I'd like a cycle but not sure I want to spend money on the game...I spent enough on that other one already. Tho at least this one is cheaper for the Founder's. I'll play it more today, try to get a better idea. Plus since it's the weekend I can get hubs to try it, perhaps.

I miss them, but I understand the reasoning why they're not legal anymore, around here. One of the big droughts and a lot of fires, IIRC, was one of the many clinchers. First it was the big ones, then pretty much everything. Most people might be likely to use them as safely as possible, but like you said, there's always the yahoos, drunkards, etc. that do stupid things. I'd rather my house/block didn't catch on fire because of them. Although I do think not even allowing those hand sparklers was a bit of an overkill. But whatever.

Since I used to dance and still like to watch some dance, I think that's my favorite post of yours, ever.
