Didn't play the first one, and so far have no interest in the 2nd. However a lot of people I've met lately are all excited for DA2, so I've been, just now, watching some early Let's Plays. So far the best thing I've seen (and it's very early) is one guy who decided to run his gal chr. out in her underwear (cause it made me lol). The blood splatter setting he was using was really odd tho...it looked like crazy paint splatter on a wall, or something, not blood. edit: do like the party members and the combat doesn't look too bad 2ndedit - like the mage staff or whatever it is too. Wicked looking.

lol...I know. This video stuff has me by the...well, I'm female, never mind. On the plus side, I finally learned all that virtualdub can really do. Thumbs up. Going to try my hand at video cameras again too. I'd forgotten how frustratingly fun video editing is for someone like me...then I bought this PC...need a few more TB's of hard drive space tho...

That's why I have my own website for sharing images. But it doesn't work with streaming videos...or at least, I don't have it set up for that.

You mean like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkxdE4OEYEQ...feature=related Exactly. Hahaha....that was funny. And somehow, by following some other videos from there, I found the Star Trek Rhapsody. Hysterical.

... I promise it's not just a "Boone video." Tho I did want to put in more random npc's...I mean there's Thorn & the sewers and the camps but songs aren't long enough to get everyone in there, grrr (some npc's just won't dance either, or look like crap if they do)...now I can spend the weekend cleaning out the gajillion temp. files.... good times, good OCD times.

For some reason wasn't happy with the my current video project, and then realized it was the music. Was using this one song because I thought it'd be funny/appropriate, but it's not. I don't dislike the song, but it didn't fit the video or created a mood I didn't like or something. Changed the music, much better. At least imo. heh Isn't it weird what a difference a song/music makes for something....

Stayed up all night learning video stuff, recording, editing, recording, editing...games are fun to work with and I'm learning a lot in the process but I may need another video camera this year...

This stupid game has turned me into a video-making addict! It's not even about playing the game anymore, it's about the task-obsessiveness/learning of making videos. Argh! I've been working on a semi-ambitious (or at least very time-consuming *cry*) umpa dance video and learned how to use AVIsynth to do split screen in VirtualDub. Which is awesome. (the short test vid isn't awesome, just showing 4 vids on one screen). It may not be Sony Vegas Studio but it's amazing what virtualdub can do once you figure out how. When the next game comes out that I'll obsess over for months, I'll be ready to make nutty videos from day1. Woot.

Yeah, exactly.

I could pick 8 albums, but if we're talking single songs here, there's no way I could confine myself to that. Luxury item...if I'm assuming this is a 'lost on an island' scenario where there would be no electricity etc. (since we're talking about a magical music player...) then for me it would definitely be a supply of good firesteel/ferro rods. Rubbing sticks for friction, for most people, is hard.

Some of us didn't know he existed before LoTR... Didn't know who he was when I saw GI Jane ages ago and don't like that movie enough to rewatch it. Hildago was unimpressive to me. I think I thought Appaloosa was decent but for some reason all I remember from that movie is Ed Harris (one of my faves)...haven't seen Eastern Promises.

You take people too seriously sometimes, Walsh. In the non-comical sense it matters not at all simply because I don't have to go see his movies. But if you want a more serious answer...I'm not at all concerned about the obvious studio angles. What I wonder about is the creeping feeling that he's going to pull a Lucas, become obsessed with what "CGI/tech can do" and work/tinker endlessly on his one vanity/love project. Cameron had no interest in making T3, or the next Alien movie...in the past he seemed to usually be more interested in moving on to new projects/stories than endless sequels....but Avatar may be his Star Wars. Which could be either good or bad depending on one's point of view. We'll see.

The Road was memorable. I like it when films aren't all happy happy...if they're done well, and that one definitely was. That film & A History of Violence were enough to convince me Viggo Mortensen could actually act outside of the bigger-than-life fame of LoTR.

I find James Cameron's descent into becoming a director of predictable, humdrum, mega-million movies terrifying.

Makes sense to me...that's exactly how I become/feel.

I was unimpressed with just the preview they keep showing in the on-demand list screen. I watched a 2004 movie called A Home at the End of the World. Kinda slow/quiet but I liked it a fair bit. It's a strange yet touching film chronicling many years of two best friends and eventually a sort of love triangle/non-traditional family unit.

ME2 doesn't seem to have native gamepad support so hubby is trying FO3. Watching him struggle through the intro/tutorial section, I have a feeling he won't last long with that one. Keep telling hubby he's obviously geared to be a console gamer (likes gamepads/hates keyboard-mouse, couch, big TV, action oriented) and should buy a console but so far he refuses. Myself...not playing anything. I think I'm 'gamed out' for a while.

What are oatcakes? Biscuits/bread made of oats? I still almost never eat breakfast. Maybe a piece of toast occasionally. Today I spent an hour bent over a rice cooker filled with water, in order to steam out my nose. Winter+artificial heat=dry sinuses and very very bad allergy/post nasal drip issues. Time to sign my life away for some more Sudafed. Sigh.

And Sting in plastic green undies! .... I bet he'd give a lot to take that job acceptance back... I liked the sci-fi mini-series better in terms of comparing it to the book (not that it's saying all that much) but the movie version had Stewart, Sting, Jurgen Prochnow (I think he made a great Duke), Brad Dourif , Richard Jordan and all these other people I love in tiny roles so...it wins.

I'm the same. "Hi haven't seen you.." *click* "Yes once years ago I.." *click* "Watch your mouth or.." *click* "She was gorgeous and.." *click* "Goodbye."

...making me all tech-jealous again. ...the guy on the left in the 2nd pic is funny lookin'.

My seemingly ever worsening allergy-clogged & post-nasal drippy voice is beginning to make me sound like some low-pitched witch of the west. It's cool and annoying at the same time. ...it's been pretty uneventful this week. Hubs had the long weekend and was playing video games, while I....actually, I barely remember what I did all weekend. It's all a blur.

That was fast. Ok then...so maybe not so much for hubby. That's ok, means I don't have to share.

I was at BestBuy purchasing a microphone...apparently I should have bought a microphone headset...but this USB thing should work...anyway while there I also bought ... Fallout3 and MassEffect2. They were on sale, why not. None of the other games I'm waiting for are even close to being released yet far as I know... Not quite playing either of them yet, but they're on that shelf when I want them. Or maybe hubby would like ME2. He's been playing Borderlands again...he doesn't like tons of reading/rpg decision making but did ok with Kotor2...is ME2 kinda like that in terms of action vs. dialogue? Moreso? Less so?

Cat likes to steal neighbors clothes/shoes etc. (there's video links in the article) I'm glad we didn't move to San Mateo...I'd be wondering where all my sponges went.
