Hm, on the movie related news.. Ernest Borgnine has passed away today.

Apparently, they were designed as part of an outdoor advertisement which won the Grand Prix award at the Cannes Lions 2004 Award for Outdoor and Print.

As long as they remembered to pillage and then burn... Or as the Pirate King is fond of saying the "the ships go down and the women yield.. or is that the other way around?"

A Nice little ode to Nikola Tesla... For the remainder (which is a big chunk) Why Nikola Tesla was the Greatest Geek who ever lived! So many people forget about the bad side of Edison...

Turn it into a strategy game? Mass Alert 4: Command and Reaperise?

King has a lot of interesting ideas, but his books can vary incredibly wildly in the quality of the writing.

For one of those things that's been lurking around..

But it's usually entertaining poo

Heh. Exactly how many studios has Activision closed this generation? A short look at Activision's history of studio closure...

Well, the old Koenigsegg CCX on Top Gear.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svxRpqeqFRY Edit: And of course, after that, Koenigsegg actually went and put a spoiler on it.. And let them have it again. (Now the spoiler is standard)

I really should try getting back into my playthrough of New Vegas with all of the DLC... Hm, damn, thinking I was just starting Dead Money when I got interupted by life, and then hm, Deus Ex, then TOR... That's a fair few months ago now. I haven't picked up anything new in awhile, so pretty much going with regular doses of TOR as my only gameplay the last couple of months.

The Higgs Boson walks into a catholic church. Priest says "What are you doing here?" Higgs Boson says "You can't have mass without me"

I have to admit, if its something you can see yourself playing for 200 hours minimum, looking at it as a "Euro an Hour" isn't that bad an investment.

With it of course.. Actually, haven't Koenigsegg put the top gear wing on all models since then?

Trying to push a more upbeat mood for the day.. so I've been listening to "A Very Scary Solstice",.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsgg51dNeCk

I have a yearning for a greasy burger. Which I might give in to. Hilton bacon burger? Hmm. There's a kebab shop just down the road that does an amazingly unhealthy but darn tasty "super-burger" - just over 3/4 pounds of meat (that you hope is beef), cheese, onions, assorted salad-type between the layers..

Trying to ponder what exactly has me in the mood to put Clint Mansell's score of "The Fountain" on loop and get quietly drunk today. Not actually doing that, but that seems to be the lurking urge loitering in the background.

On the one hand, I'm tempted by the classic that is the E-type Jag.. or, not a supercar, but the other classic I absolutely adore from a distance is the Rolls Royce Phantom 2.. But if we're talking modern day.. Koenigsegg CCX. For what looks like sheer fun.

Also, the structure of time was an interesting showing. The potential developments and fallout over x years in a specific locale based on choices you made.. If it had just been pushed along a bit more .. but again, it was "idea conception rather then what actually got built".

I do have to say.. with Jedi Knight / Sith Warrior / Bounty Hunter types, Huttball has grown on me. It seems much more geared for those class types to have fun in, Sith Assassin stealthiness seems to work better on the other warzone maps, but doesn't quite "grip" Huttball that well. And you seem to be getting into pvp matches with people who understand coming up with "cunning plans" during the minute of pre-match intro and actually attempting to coordinate more these days rather then go wildly off on kill frenzies..

Is that the one on Corellian Run that I never see active? Pushed my Bounty Hunter through Act 1 and now he's a "Champion of the Great Hunt". Just got adopted into Mandalore's clan as well today. Juggling some of the Ilum and Belsavis dailies with my Sith Inquisitor and Smuggler. I'm going to have to build up the credits to get that mailbox on my ship at some point...
