What you did today
I have found the pet that I want to own... and no, that's not a light being put on kitteh, that's kitteh itself doing the glowing in order to stomp out feline aids.

Movies you've seen recently
Just watched the Gundam 00 movie.... Honestly, it wasn't worth it. It felt like the entire first half of the film was useless overall, everything that happened at that point could have happened in the span of 10 instead of 50 minutes. Also the moral I got out of it was I WISH I was kidding.

Deus Ex 3
But it still didn't build. The entire thing (to me) felt a bit disjointed up until the very end (probably because of the fact you keep going back to Detroit). A good story would flow pretty well and not seemingly have everything be in it's own little box.

Deus Ex 3
The issue with Deus Ex is that here doesn't seem to be a sense of... DOING anything or urgency. There doesn't seem to be an overarching story, so much as an overarching theme about the augmented v non-augmented. And the "conspiracy" as I've mentioned before, doesn't really live up to Deus Ex level conspiracies. It's just kinda "Oh hai.... I'm your conspiracy for the evening, would you like a bit of bree?"

What you did today
My bloody roommate decided that he's going to entirely change the room, including how I usually end up getting on my bloody bed, because "It looks better". He's trying to defuse the situation saying constantly "It's fine!" but My issue is more with the fact that he didn't even tell me this was happening before he did it, and did it at work saying "You'd yell about it either way." Still entirely missing the bloody point >.<

What are you playing now?
And so illogical : you have a place with only children that send adults in another town. Yet, they managed to have still children dozens of years after its creation. How ? No idea. Orphans from all over the Wasteland. well, they're allowed to live until they hit 16. I'll leave it at that.

No idea. *Looks at his original post* Cleeek zeee Liiiinnnkkkk!- What you did today
Realized that my advanced math classes (310 and 335) don't count towards my major (the highest math course in my major is 267). Sent off a mail to my advisor about it.- Movies you've seen recently
Isn't that from the guys who did Epic Movie?- RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS THREAD!
Character inspired by John Woo films is poster child of all action heroes. Also Max killing small army worth of enemies in previous 2 games should make it bit easier to accept. Rockstar + RAGE + Euphoria + Max Payne should be fun. Didn't they try to play up in the second one that the series isn't an action game at heart? It's more a Noire story?- What you did today
Had a HORRIBLE day at work. Spent 5 hours bent backwards pulling out celing tiles and washing them, then scrubbing them (while they're still in the celing) before the truck pulled up to give us food, and had way to much food on it for us as we unloaded it. Then realized after talking with a female friend that literally my entire school career (again) is riding (again) on this semester. I fail this school, I don't really have another chance.- What are you playing now?
Pick up Space Marine. It's single player is pretty dang good, and the multi is only going to get better once the DLC (free!) hits next month- What are you playing now?
Melee Commander/Thaddeus combo with maybe a Gatling good dreadnaught riding sidecar makes things go SO much quicker. (For the record, the Gatling WILL gib just about anything that gets in it's special abilities arc.)- Finally found my planet
Actually, what the hell DID happpen to squats? got run over and eaten by a Tyranid Hive fleet.- RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS THREAD!

You kidding me? Harrison Ford himself stated in an interview not a long time ago that C&A was a silly child movie. Personally I disagree with Ford, but I do wish to point out that the bloody thing was way way way to long.- STEAM!
In the upper lefthand corner of your library which view are you on?- RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS THREAD!
Basically it's what tale said in a nutshell. Companies don't want to have to deal with the issues of having an employee being paid by them to create his own thing that he'll sell for a million. I think engineering companies have similar clauses that control IP of their inventors. But they are not being paid by them to work on their own project, its their free time. Its not even if they use resources from the company that they are working for at the moment, its an automatic measure. It seems too extreme, it will probably kill what little creativity this industry has. They've been doing it in other creative mediums (as I mentioned, engineering stuff and inventions) as well as including such things as "no competition" clauses for employment contracts every so often.- The funny things thread part 3
YES, YES and OH YES Ever heard of Onichanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad?- RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS THREAD!

Also, waiting for the "Exterminatus" DLC (basically, Gears "Horde" mode, or Nazi Zombies, or Dawn of War 2 Retributions Last Stand Mode... but for Space Marines) is going to be... excruciating.- What you did today
Just learned about a "study abroad" opportunity from my summer school teacher. Basically I'd take a 400 level course from him, and spend spring break in London. Only issue is coming up with the extra 3 grand to pay my way.- WH40K: Space Marine
You say that like it's a bad thing! It's from an ultramarine... the Smurfs are supposed to be obsessed with tactics! - Movies you've seen recently
