All about the athletic skill there?

The only weird thing I've had is that after dealing with the infected village and such post Ag Center, only to return to hand in that completed quest and found that for some reason the West Airlock had shut. According to the computer in the basement all doors were open, but it wouldn't let me through. Ah well. For the sake of one minor sub-quest, I couldn't be arsed restarting it all. So I just carried on.

But to help the Monday morning start..

Heh. Well to jump back to the vague origins of this series of threads... Part of it was "supposedly" to consider the different values of attractive / sexy around the world via the wide-ranging spread of the forumites country and culture-wise... Also, interesting point to be made - Does Attractive / Pretty / Aesthetically-Pleasing-to-the-Eye always mean Sexy / Erotic ? I would say not. I've known girls who I've thought were pretty or even beautiful, but sexually nah, something just didn't click. Or mayhaps that then becomes a question of personal chemistry when you're actually interacting with the ladies in question?

To carry off the sunday, and just to keep Wals happy then..

One of my friends announced that this song has become their latest guilty pleasure. And then made everyone listen to it.. http://youtu.be/QgmzAu7_wyc

Aren't all men hormone crazed 14 year old boys somewhere deep inside?

Just to throw in for the weekend collection..

Well, combinations of the attributes grant you various increases in action points and initiative... So if you want to be able to take aimed shots with that sniper rifle twice a round.. you might want to have things balanced more.

It does kind of amuse me that the Chinese media have been running coverage of this referendum in the line of "Instability and unrest caused by too much democracy. Look at the waning of a once great nation due to not strict enough social order..."

I've been roaming idly around Skyrim. I haven't actually been getting quests done. I haven't levelled up. I've just wandered and found locations....I really should make a start on actually doing stuff.....

Kite. Live-action based on the anime , your standard low budget dystopian run-down bleak future city full of corrupt cops and child trafficking gangs. A teenage girl wreaking vengeance for the death of her police parents on the mysterious crime figure known as the Emir. Samuel L Jackson taking a turn as her father's former partner who has been helping her. Eh, not too bad, not too great. You kind of expect one of the twists, there aren't that many action sequences so much as sudden moments she kills people by surprise. Also, I will admit to having caught the film Live Nude Girls on the background the other night. An incredibly cheesy comedy set in the 80's about a washed up finance guy who suddenly inherits a strip club in LA from his uncle, only to find that it's gone from it's glory days in the 60's and 70's to a washed up dingy joint by '85. So he has to struggle with the battle against bankruptcy, sleazeball customers, and out of control strippers. Along the way he manages to accidentally invent the art of the pole dance and lap dance. It actually pretty much follows all the clichéd points of a classic sports movie, just with strippers instead of baseball. Most of it was pretty bad, but it had a few lines that just had to be quoted. "So give me an overview of the situation." "Well, it's like the Titanic. After it's hit the iceberg. If everything was on fire. And the water was full of exploding sharks. And everybody has leukemia." ".... Right. So not going well then?" "Hey, that's my coffee!" "I need it more." "Really?" "Were you up all night till 45 minutes ago having sex with three drag queens and a rather confused rodeo cowboy? No? Right, now give me the damn coffee!"

Felt like some virtual hiking time, so re-installed skyrim. put the dlc on which I haven't played yet, and just spent some time loading up mods on it out of curiousity... now time to plunge into the fray and see what I actually remember of it...

Well I attended a Mexican Independence Day party, where everyone was encouraged to wear Mexican themed outfits. And one of the hosts made Mojito's with Brazilian rum. Then later dressed as a luchador and wrestled all the women at the party.

Hm, did anyone link this in a couple of months back? IGN got Romero to play Doom with them and give a general chatty interview on the history and how-to and why-for of Doom.. http://youtu.be/b86PwuzyxlY
