I have it on good authority that at least two of the dwarves are not ugly. I agree, though. The Hobbit book isn't very good once you get older than eight and everything's that been added has created a more streamlined experience. Parts loyal to the book are parts like the enormous non-sequiter mountain giant bit that should have been cut out.

Just finished backing up all files I have except for anything on an online or cloud service. Now to napalm scrub my harddrives with holy fire and rebuild society in the form of a clean install. Wish me luck. these kinds of things have a tendency of blowing up in my face (it's the holy fire) and I may not be around for a couple days.

J-Law as the hippest cats in town have taken to calling her seems to have taken the role of "queen of the internet" on her shoulders. Hard pressed to find people who don't like her there. I'm expecting the backlash will begin soon.

Hell if the song and lyrics are good enough I can stand the worst voices on the planet (Primus sucks!), but Lisa Hannigan's voice is truly angelic.

My computer's been horribly on the fritz. Backing up all my files now, gonna do a full reinstall.

Best part of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is this girl's eyes. Quite a looker, but that's nothing compared to

She was desperate for one last pleasant sensation before being torn limb from limb by the great, scaly beast. This is the best thing ever.

I generally don't carry many bags unless it's my laptop bag so I keep it in my hands at all time.

I've done that. Still prefer it to carrying an umbrella. For the few moments it comes in handy, it's not worth all the time it's just dead weight.

That last one gave you your man card back. It's a man card that connects to other man cards however. Don't take my man card crap, I'm just matching the tone of the list in the opposite direction. Do what makes you feel comfortable.

1. A tailored black suit - I used to own a suit. I gained some weight and now it doesn't fit me, and I never wore it in the five years it did fit me. Suits are a waste of money. 2. Black dress shoes - Dress shoes? I don't wear dresses. Sorry. 3. Brown dress shoes - Two pairs of fancy shoes? Then what do you wear regularely? Man card is forfeited on the purchase of a third pair of shoes. 4. Stocks - Are you a moron? 5. A tool kit - Duh. 6. A nice wallet - It used to be nice. 7. Cologne, NOT BODY SPRAY - Got it, never use it. 8. A watch - Pocketwatch or bust. 9. A proper bed with proper bedding - Duh. 10. A flashlight - Duh. 11. Duct tape - Oh yes. Moving on. 12. A weekend bag - I've got one satchel. I can put stuff in it. Having anything else other than one satchel means you have a purse collection and you need to hand in your man card. 13. Proper glassware - Duh. 14. Grooming kit - You mean a comb and a shaving razor? I hope so, otherwise I'm taking away your man card. 15. Double-hinged wine key - Because a basic corkscrew isn't enough? I quit drinking several years ago. 16. Multiple towels - I'm a hoopy frood. 17. A chef’s knife - Duh. 18. A passport I have a European I.D. that works everywhere in Europe. Good enough? 19. A flask - Is this the fifties? 20. Sewing kit - Girlfriend's got one. 21. An umbrella - IT'S JUST WATER. Grow a pair! 22. Buy an ironing board, and an iron. Are you sure this list isn't for women? I do own these though. 23. Jumper cables - I actually do own this. For... interrogation purposes. 24. Undershirts - What are you, five? I haven't worn undershirts since I've been able to dress myself. 25. Playing cards - I've got some packs buried in a closet somewhere. 26. A lint roller - My girlfriend has cats, only reason to have this ever. 27. A leatherman - Piss off. 28. Sunglasses - Duh. 29. A record player - Hipster bull****. I hook up some speakers to a CD player or my laptop and I'm fine. 30. Football/soccer ball/basketball, etc. - Children's games does not an outdoor person make. No. 31. A French press - Coffee is filthy and anyone who relies on it to get through a day is weak. 32. Good socks - Duh. 33. Good underwear - Duh. One pair has a giant Batman Logo on the ass. 34. A cast-iron skillet - Duh. 35. Multiple sheet sets - Duh. 36. A bar set - Stopped drinking a couple years ago. 37. Matching dishes - Duh 38. A decent car - Can't drive. Get car sick, throw up on the side of the road unless I almost O.D. on Dramamine. 39. A solid book collection - I've got one. I've read them too. Because I'm not a faker. 40. A decent bottle of booze - Stopped drinking a few years back.

I stand by what I said when the first one came out: This is the best Dungeons & Dragons campaign ever.

Every self-respecting man over 30 should have the intelligence and self-confidence not to listen to a random list on the internet to tell them what a real man has. I'm still a few years away from 30 and I already feel more confident and self-respecting than anyone who took this seriously. You should own a book collection with the addendum that it doesn't matter that you read them or not? Why even bother? This list is for fakers, for the Barney Stinson wannabe's who can't get a girl without pretending they're better than they are. Do what you are comfortable with, what makes you feel confident. If it's on this list? Great. If it's not? Just as good.

Are you sure about them being liable? I thought one of the legal caveats when you pledge is that a product isn't guaranteed. I don't know the whole legal bull around it.

Drive was another occassion where people mistook the character being awesome with the actor being awesome. The silent tough guy was cool, but plenty of people could have done it better than Gosling.

Hah, trying out the latest update of the alpha/beta/whatever state War for the Overworld is in right now, and the narrator said "the interplay between good and evil often results in fallout".

Not too worried about Eternity having bugs. Not as much 3D engine stuff generally means less bugs. Not always, but still.

Nice work. You are now officially the owner of a pair of balls. Maybe you want to give the (free) DLC, Justine, a chance as well. Quite scary, but a lot shorter (About 20-30 minutes if you don't die). If you want to relax, however, maybe try playing something Sandbox? Minecraft perhaps?

The Neverending Story? Is Falkor in this?

That would have been far more awesome. Hrm, I'm sure I've got something blinding in the house...

I heard Jurassic Park Builder was entertaining from several people. I can't confirm as I haven't played it.

A blind Let's Play is when you make a Let's Play of a game you've never played before and don't know a lot about.

The best part is that she really didn't know.

Helped my girlfriend set up her brand new blind Let's Play Youtube channel, so now of course I gotta pimp the hell out of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Kpj2A6F0sQ

Thanks! Apparently I've missed a lot of rumors. Johnny Depp and the Rock? The heck? I suppose that would make the part Paula Patton is up for Garona? And I'm guessing Colin Farrel would be Khadgar or Lothar... Weird.
