Garfield Minus Garfield
I prefer Garfield with Garfield, but without Garfield talking. It's so much more funny when you realize John is talking to a cat who's just a frickin cat.

What are you playing now?
Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney case 4 is so far the 2nd best case in the series. And by "2nd best," I actually mean "1st best, but I'm witholding final judgement."

Dawn of War: Soulstorm announced
I'm not sure how I feel yet. The campaign itself doesn't feel significantly different from Dark Crusade. I've only played one battle with the Sisters of Battle, so I won't say anything there. It was the tutorial. The changes to the Necrons seem minor. One bit I do like is that the power generators have little lights on them indicating how close they are to being used up. The new "unit" for Necron is something I'm undecided on. When you research the Nightbringer, you also get acess to a Deceiver option for your Necron Lord. The Deceiver has a very weak ranged attack, can turn an enemy to your side for a period of time, and an illusionary Monolith. It's nice, but to use it, you have to forgo the Nightbringer, so it feels more like a new ability than a new unit. I played one battle with the Dark Eldar and they were hard to get used to. They are very different from any current race. They have a set and forget build system, which you may have seen in other games. Once a worker starts a building he can be reassigned, which also means you can't speed it up. Though it seems worker downtime can be used for the harvesting of souls or whatever the new Dark Eldar resource is called.

And guess what I'm playing... Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney I applaud you, excellent choice.

Dawn of War: Soulstorm announced
Only things I can comment on so far: The title movie was nowhere near as good as Dark Crusade's, but not nearly as bad as the original Dawn of War's. The background movie when starting the campaign was just silly. Of course, there was really no way around it, they had to explain what 9 races were doing on four planets. Well, these guys were here, these were here, these were here, and then came, and then and then and then.... Oh and also, Gorgutz has to be the official hero of the series.

Dawn of War: Soulstorm announced
When I play with friends I try to keep it as comp stomp games. Although back in The Frozen Throne beta I'd play in max number player games split into two teams. And still would get taken out first.

What you did today
Inversely. Lower wavelengths are more dangerous. Even for other living things than eyes. Which is why you hear more about needing protection from UV than IR. Lower wavelengths are more energetic.

Dawn of War: Soulstorm announced
I never bother with multiplayer in strategy games. Which is why I pretty much demand an interesting campaign.

What you did today
Yes, Blu-Ray players are 405nm. But that's a measurement of their wavelength, not power. I can find nothing about specifics in power. It probably varies from device to device. I imagine it shouldn't need as much to do its job as a DVD-R. But I also imagine that any Blu-Ray burner would also get up there.

I got it, too. Installing.

Movies you have seen lately
extended version? so another 2 hours of walking then? don't get me wrong, i liked the movies (the first time i watched them) trying to sit through them again was a bit of a yawn-fest though last movie i watched was Bubba Ho Tep (on the advice of my brother) Bruce Campbell as Elvis... How can someone not like The Lord of the Rings trilogy? I'm dying for the hi-def extended edition releases.

What you did today
It has got to be more damaging. It's running at a far shorter wavelength than DVD and CD. I've never heard anything about them being in yet a lower power class than DVD. But I've not looked into that at all. Maybe I will! Edit: I can only find very little information on it. Someone once said they saw a Blu-Ray player with a class 2 label. And wikipedia refers to DVD burners (note: burners, though) as III and IV! So yeah. It shouldn't be as damaging. Until you pump more energy into it.

Aside from there being Star Wars RTS already, Ensemble Studios is Microsoft owned. Would you really want a console as the primary platform with the PC version requiring Games for Windows LIVE? And the PC version potentially coming out a year later? I think a 4X would be interesting, though.- US Presidential Elections
God damnit, Texas. I had hope for you this year.- the best so far??
If it won't have a PSP, Nintendo DS, and PSOne option, it needs at least a Nintendo DS and PSOne as a singular option. Because I won't choose between Phoenix Wright and PSOne, dangit!- What are you playing now?
While they're at it, they should hire me. I know what would actually happen during an invasion by an oppressive interdimensional empire.- Anime recommendations: Part 2
I... I hardly even remember Pokemon. But I used to enjoy watching it so.- Airmen Made Sausage With Their Own Blood
Beer brats!- Airmen Made Sausage With Their Own Blood
I'd eat it especially if it was my own! I mean, heck, I just gave up a lot of blood! I need to eat now.- many outweighs few?
Eddo is a postmodernist. The needs of the many do not outweigh the few. The needs of the many you care about or identify with outweigh the needs of whoever. It may not be logistically or rationally sound, but it need not be. Human beings are not so rational.- Anime recommendations: Part 2
Update! I tried out three series so far. Full Metal Panic: Second Raid: I purchased this and loved it. I plan on purchasing Fumoffu now to complete my collection. Last Exile: ****win. Watched the first 8 episodes and loved them. I plan on purchasing this if I have some spare cash after Fumoffu.
