Old thread hit the post ceiling that fast ? Damn

Hint system? The Smoking Mirror is the worst Broken Sword when it comes to absurd puzzle solutions and surreal encounters. Director's cut has a button in the bottom right that gives you hints on what to do. I keep hearing horrid things about BS2, I might as well play it to further understand why it gets that (that and what the hell, have nothing else to play ).

Finished off Broken Sword, fun game although I abused the hint system more than I should have. Plodding along through FIFA 12's BS for the foreseeable future.

Saxon - The Eagle Has Landed Continuing my trend of finding out bands everyone else has known about forever

Westboro trolls a-go

Some guy collected a bunch of LucasArts background art - http://neurotech.imgur.com/

Punch a CRT monitor, works well, provided you can find those. I never did find out how my friend's experiment of tossing one of those out a 14th floor balcony went, incidentally.

Almost forgot it's election day here. Wonder if I can use this to get out of work earlier - can also avoid the damn line up at the polls. Elections for every level in the past year too, heh.

Why ? It'd be full of dead Quebecers..actually, now that you mention it, good idea.

Heh, I'm betting that they'll do some outlandish public grieving over this in Japan first.

Yeah...it's just the left wing types. Then again right wing types always make themselves out to be Homo Superior in my experience.

I liked the joke on Slashdot about him having a kernel panic. Also this one was a bit chuckle worthy - "His final will stated that he be buried in a glossy white coffin with no visible hinges or latches. And rounded corners"

Hm, 'immeasurably better', that's some claim.

Well Steve Jobs died. Reaction should be interesting. Kind of funny to think what the reaction will be when Thomson, Stallman, Ritche, etc. buy it - thought it'll make sense.

FIFA 12 and a bit of BS. In FIFA, the passing sure has gotten wonkier, or maybe I've not adjusted a setting - trying to cut a ball back across the face of goal seems to inevitably fail for me so far. But in a way is nice to have passes fail. AI still plays the same game, 8 men back, 2 divine forwards that coupled with your scatterbrain CBs make route 1 very profitable at times, hehe.

The latter's a nice song to relax to (or be really morose to, I suppose).

Nah it's preferable. If my mother's family had done it more, they'd be less of the sneaky vipers they are now.

Well finished Last Colony. That was...so so I suppose, nice happy ending - although kind of wanted the CU to win out in the end. Am left with trepidation about reading Zoe's Tale though, heh, an entire book from that character's POV doesn't seem appealing after the third book.

You just need a good family dustup. We have those every now and then, very good stress reliever.

Nope didn't know thatl, learn something new each day. Would the revolution have to not occur though ? Supposed to be divergent not completely the reverse. Tale does make a good point about needing to continue the story, though, so it should be someplace outside the sphere of the previous game to build on that (I'd prefer more stuff about NCR than any of the FO3 factions).

Well they don't have to put you in Cuba, could just have it as an endpoint or something or the other. That and was my lame attempt at wit, Americans trying to flee to Cuba, har har. Then again, I wonder what state Cuba is in in the Fallout universe.

That's about a typical day's body count for Mogadishu, no ?

Yeah have to vote on Thursday. Thankfully the NDP hasn't trucked out Layton's corpse.

Maybe there can be a subplot of Cuba as a Promised Land.

The Vault's very useful for crap like that. That would be an amusing quest to give though, making you wander around the wasteland, sifting through items.
