    Haha, love that graphic strip. Too true...

    I like companions in my rpg's tho...so I'd still like to at least be able to have one or two followers. Doesn't have to be a full party. And can be optional/mostly option, like FNV. I'd like an RPG that felt a bit more sandboxy, too...but not in the same way as the Elder Scrolls games. I'm not sure I could describe what I mean/want, very well, however.

    I know....I just ate too many in one sitting. Heh. I've always annually bounced around in weight a little, usually not a big deal...but the past year or so I've gone a bit past what I consider tolerable. Too much eating out again. So trying to be more careful about what/how much I eat. Not a strict diet per se. Sometimes it's just hard to keep myself from eating "just one more". Also, it's past 4am and here I still am...didn't drink any caffeine after 3pm either. Sigh. Guess that notary will get a bleary eyed stare and stuttering penmanship.

    That's what the "S" really stands for! I know the problem with Superman being too powerful and that isn't cool anymore, but I still like him.

    *struggles to load/watch the trailer* ... Why does YouTube suck so much lately. Goes from 32KB/sec to 400KB/sec and back and forth and stop and start half the time. Anyway...I like that trailer best so far. Still a little too "new skool/serious" for my tastes, but I might enjoy it.

    ... I was going to make a silly joke here, but I think I shall refrain. ... But I know what you mean. I've never done anything remotely on the level you probably are, but ... yeah. I've been there in spirit. :D edit: clarification

    Benedict Cumberbatch, will you marry me and be part of my ever-growing male harem? No? .... darn. In other news ... legal notary visit tomorrow, so I guess I better get to sleep before 4am this time. Also...after being pretty "good" diet wise the past month and losing 4 pounds, today I ate too many mini-chocolate donuts. *hangs head*

    Ugh...earthquakes. I know a little about them since I'm in Calif. We can grow to be blase about all the little tremors but it's always something in the back of your head. And a 7.8 too. Hopefully the casualties will remain low as they figure things out.

    I liked the 1st season, but then lost interest early in the 2nd. It just became too many plot strings with too little time spent on each one. I don't tend to like neck whiplash shows. Also, I learned that The Wall stuff still hasn't been dealt with much even in the books, and that was largely the string I was interested in. There were three Dr.'s where I watched a number of their episodes. Tom Baker (still my fave), Christopher Eccleston, and David Tennant. Just the other day I believe I saw my first one with the current/most recent Dr. He seemed ok. But overall I haven't followed that series too much. I find it difficult to in the States...altho it's easier these days than it was in the 70's.

    First thought that crossed my mind: I can't believe we're up to "Update #50" already. Has it really been 6 months since the KS?

    Saw Django Unchained. The first half had me in stitches. Christopher Waltz is da best. Not usually into slapstick but that head-bag scene was hilarious (and largely the only straight slapstick in the film). The 2nd half was still good, just not quite as much. Were/are they setting up for a sequel or something, because it sure felt like it. DiCaprio was good in his role too, altho by the end I had my usual issue with feeling like he just isn't quite up to the task. He gets really close, but not quite there. Maybe it's his voice, not my personal preference. My husband's quote: "All that film needed to top it off was a Steve Buscemi rant." Anyway, A for the first half, B for the 2nd half and A++ for Mr. Waltz.

    Sci-fi with different planets and ship travel. No, I don't mean KOTOR3. Something original/new. Not apocalyptic or fantasy-magic and preferably no zombies. Not that those are bad things, it'd just be nice to have something that felt different again. Maybe something more like Blade Runner in world atmosphere might be interesting, but a little less dark.

    Game of Thrones takes more than half the novel to start to get into it. I felt the same way but stuck it out and by the end desperately wanted the 2nd book. But at the time, I still had almost a 2 year wait or something, and by then I'd forgotten most of it. Didn't want to re-read it and figured I wouldn't get the sequels without doing so. So never went back.

    Hm. I suppose that frame interpolation thing could be the issue with those TV's I saw. When staring at them it made me think of the 48fps debate on The Hobbit, wondering if that's what I would have thought of it (didn't see The Hobbit in the theater). As usual I haven't kept up with TV tech, since we haven't been in the market to buy one. Not that I haven't tried to convince hubby we could use a new one....he's not quite ready. And agree about plasma. The one 80" TV was the awesome tho...contrast/blacks and I was surprised at how sharp it was for being that large. Even hubby, who pretty much can't stand LCD-anything for video, didn't seem to be bothered by it much. Nothing near that price range is listed on their website tho, so I can't re-check what brand/tech it was using. Maybe it was a 4k resolution one?

    Boone as a companion might even make me like Diablo3. Well, not really, but it would make me laugh.
  16. LadyCrimson
    I'd debate that, but what would be the point. It's all subjective. We love what we love. Also, dwarf hamsters can beat both in terms of cuteness. That all said, perhaps we can get back on topic a bit now....save the specific cats vs. dogs for some other thread. I did mean what I said early on tho ... I'd like to see more cats in rpg's, because I'm tired of there always been nothing but dog/wolf like creatures. Doesn't mean dogs can't be in the game (as familiar, pet, companion, wandering town animal, whatever)....I just want cats too.

    I definitely think it's at least partly due to less and less games are made that are what I'd call my type of game. Certainly most AAA titles make me yawn even just reading about their concept. And then there's the story/chr/setting repetition. Loved NV to death but I'm not sure I'd love another Fallout game. Altho if anyone could make me want to revisit that setting, it'd be Obsidian....not Bethesda.

    Y'know, I bought some cheap hardcover of that book back when (uneven page edges)....but I never got around to reading it. I suspect I got about 30 pages in before I became distracted and never picked it back up again. I wonder if I still have it somewhere.

    ...nice knees! Your kids are still just the most adorable things...and this coming from someone who isn't very into children.

    Music

    LadyCrimson replied to Gorth's topic in Way Off-Topic

    So I just watched (most of) PSY's new single Gentleman. I suppose the song is ok for what it is (not really my thing), but I'm sitting here wondering why his black pants have the crotch seam down at mid-thigh. It's not that he needs to "pull up his pants", and they're not true "balloon" pants. They just look redonkulous.

    I'm back to feeling uninterested in spending any time playing games. More my "fault" rather than lack of interesting games to play. Just need more and longer breaks from gaming all the time, seems like.
  22. LadyCrimson
    To start things off, here's a tiny pic of me. ...ok, ok, here's a more recent one from a couple years ago. I'll try to get a better one where I don't look lumpy and half asleep, later. This one's old, but I thought I'd show Tsuga C what I meant by my past cat who liked to be wrapped up, which I mentioned in another thread. Another older one: occasionally I attempt to take more serious photos, altho I do that less every year because I get lazier every year. Lastly...something I treasure. I miss Carl. ....actually, this makes me realize I need to pick up my DSLR camera a bit more often again. I haven't even taken many of my current cats since I acquired them. <.<

    Welcome to the Obsidian Community Photo Sharing thread! We've had many like it, but this one is new. Thought it might be time for another one of these, except I thought I'd try for something a bit more general this time. Consider it a combination of "pics of yourself" and other photo topics common to many forums. In other words, if you feel comfortable sharing pics of your own mug, whether smiling or otherwise, this is the place. But if that isn't your thing, pics of your adoring pets, your backyard garden project, or that awesome sunset/nature/other photo you captured can go here too. It's not the place to share funny internet memes, however, as we already have a thread for stuff like that. Sometimes a picture says a thousand words, so let's see what you have to "say"!

    Nah...I've always gotten mixed mutt type cats, so to speak. Shelter and strays, occasionally kittens that others want to pawn off on the "catlady." But he probably does have some Siamese or other oriental blood in him somewhere. He's also very large for a cat, so I like to think he's part panther.
