Well I'd have reacted differently, but I'd still have reacted. I ran it by a couple of people I know who are not well-versed sci-fi geeks.. and none of them have a problem with the name. In fact, none of them recognised the soylent name in the first place...

Eh, I made a bet with some friends back in secondary school that I'd still be going strong a century from then. So to win my pound we've arranged to meet up a short distance from where my school was when I'm 114... Edit: I mean, literally ever couple of years one of us turns round and does the "Remember, 2093, July 21st, just outside of Clements..."

hm, apparently gran fell down out in her garden this morning and is still being a bit wobbly. So its the family arranging to get her in for a doctor's checkup this afternoon. The joys of making it to your 90's I'd say...

Pushing through the morning, had an on/off sleep, and a bout of weird dreams, now sipping tea and letting a minor headache fuzzle around in the background. The dogs are being a bit back and forth and all "fuss me! fuss me!", and the sun is shining so I'm pondering whether to try clearing a bunch of laundry before I poke at something work related.

Also, if this wasn't a forum of fairly well-versed sci-fi movie goers, that would probably have gone over a lot of people's heads...

I have to admit, I do enjoy starting a new character and running around on the beginner planets...

Is this where the old crack of "rugby is a game played by men with odd-shaped balls" comes into play?

You have the madonna with the big boobies hanging on your wall? a slightly gay gestapo agent hitting on you and airmen hidden in your house?

No , not brandy. Port.

Salutations Ros.. Enjoy these moments while they last.. The birthdays that celebrate yet another year of good life, wait until you feel it's more the birthdays are simply staving off another year before the grave..

Some of those were.. incredibly painful to listen to. I'm not sure if it's just the dialogue making it even worse, or the delivery of that dialogue... "I have to stay alive and write this article before I die..." "hug me if I'm dying..and vice versa.."

As long as it doesn't descend to the depths of the "would your rather" side of the x vs y..

"Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Take his fish away and tell him he's lucky just to be alive, and he'll figure out how to catch another one for you to take tomorrow."

So far Female Voice 1 is the only confirmed returning female player voice I've found. There seems to be conflicting information on who is voicing Shaundi too. Well, from what has been shown, there's going to be an occasion when there are two Shaundi's.. One as she is in SR3, and the one from SR2. From that video clip, it certainly sounded like the SR2 style of Shaundi was a certain returning voice artist who didn't do Shaundi's voice in SR3..

Catching up on a few things and got around to watching this: http://youtu.be/kOyWwcg9Dcg Yup, I think that wackyness is something i'll have fun with in a couple of months..

Hm, the Europa Universalis III Chronicles are on the weekend deal at half price. Hm, tempting.

I'm bouncing around with my Smuggler at 52, my Inquisitor (who stayed grey rather then go light or dark) is hovering around 51, my Jedi Knight is at 50, my Sith Warrior is at 50, my Bounty Hunter is at 50, my Consular is at 40, and my Imperial Agent is around 18... I haven't pushed a trooper yet properly (although I did run one to about 30th level in the pre-release trials way back when). I have to say the Imp Agent does have a nice storyline in that early stages that pulls you in. The Consular's seems to lose it a bit in that chapter 2... It's interesting how some chapters can be incredibly engaging, then others are just meh. There doesn't seem to be a ryhme nor reason to that. Although both the Inquisitor and Sith Warrior seem to have the most consistent from prologue to chapter end that I've seen so far.

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzaii Across the 8th Dimension.. I can just rewatch this film a ridiculous amount of times.. http://youtu.be/0gNJ1z-ulB4 http://youtu.be/lOzZVGpjkLg

I've got to admit it seems that most of my guild after playing fairly solidly for a year and a bit are all suffering burnout at the same time. I was all interested in seeing Markab, but then that got released while i was in Mexico, and since I've been back home I just haven't been able to get in the right psyche to get back in for any serious length of time.. Heh, everyone seems to be popping in for 10 minutes here, 10 minutes there the last month or two.

The weather's turned here, It's seriously muggy over-pressured feeling, which was all through the night and not conductive to a restful slumber. Apparently that combination is conductive to hammering headaches. Sipping on the cup of tea (it's traditional ya know) and remembering where I stashed the asprin. Also got gran going to the doctors this afternoon to have her eyes checked up after the laser surgery some weeks ago.

Taking a break from trying to focus my mind and instead dealing with the joys of organising my mothers drug supplies. Oh metformin and chlorphenamine and co-amilofruse and amlodopine and gliclazide and ramapril and.. and .. and...and..(well, lets just say a fair few others) how we love the medical containers and the joys of popping packets open...
