  1. First 3D movie I've seen since the cinema installed the new projector and I can't say that I'm a fan. $3 extra and triple the eye strain! Hurray! And then those bastards want me to give back the glasses afterwards?
  2. Never had a problem with them before. For some reason this one wasp always tries to build a nest inside our barbecue every spring. He leaves real quick when it starts to warm up. I've never seen more than the one wasp though. He likes chewing on the wooden lattice that rings our small deck and he's damn noisy about it too.
  3. Hmm. I've only managed to reclaim two of my four high scores. One I'm not getting back with an ironmode mono and the other I'm really close to getting, but I keep missing those one or two blocks that would put me over the top. I should go on the offensive while he's sleeping and grab his scores for a bunch of other songs instead...
  4. Audiosurf showdown right now. A friend beat a couple of my high scores, so we're going back and forth right now on a number of songs. Bastard took my Metroid Metal - Crateria Surface high score. He's got at least one of my scores because I can't get a match 21 bonus on ironmode. The blocks are just a little bit too far away to get the combo.
  5. I found it painfully boring and quit at the beginning of act II. Hope you enjoy it more. Agreed, Assassin's Creed is the master of master of boring side missions and boring story. If it had been like Hitman, it could have been awesome. At least Prince of Persia had Elika and an interesting ending. An interesting ending? I don't know if interesting would be the word I would use to describe the ending.
  6. I broke down and bought Assassin's Creed on steam this morning before the sale ended. As much as I hate Steam, $10 is my impulse buy tipping point. Today's deal (Prince of Persia 2008) is a crappy deal. 50% off, but they still have it listed at $50 regular price. Steam is the only place I've seen selling the PC version for $50. Everywhere else has sold it for $30 starting at release.

    At least Ottawa is doing better.

    The way everyone was going on about it, it sounded like he'd done something absolutely crazy, but after seeing what he did, I don't really see the big deal.
  9. I'm pretty close to that. I'm only 180cm and last I checked I was around 82kg. Admittedly that was back a good 5-6 months ago and I've been a lazy bastard all winter. Yeah, that's the catch when living the colder regions of the earth. Once seated in a nice, warm car in cold morning of -27 degrees, you won't ever go back to biking I wish I had a car! My preferred school schedule of nothing before noon and my habit of not getting up till noon or later doesn't allow me the use of the family vehicle very often when combined with the requirement that I get up by 8am in order to drive others to work before getting the vehicle for my own use. Instead I'm usually left standing at the bus stop for 10 minutes waiting for the bus which sucks in the middle of winter. Thankfully they changed from a 30 minute schedule to a 40 minute schedule so the buses actually run on time now. It was a pain in the ass trying to figure out when the bus would go past on the old schedule.

  11. Don't you just love exam time? For the rest of the semester in 5 classes I have 3 exams, 1 VB program, and 3 group projects (two due this week, wednesday/thursday). In other good news, I just finished a temporary data entry job so I should be getting some money from that in the near future. I really need to get a proper computer chair before I attempt anything like that again. My current chair is way too low for extended typing sessions.
  12. The PHB is $75 because for some reason they are linking to the super deluxe edition rulebook and not the standard version which is still $35. Quiz said I was a Ranger.

    I had a feeling that it was going to be an interesting game when it was tied 3-3 after one.
  14. I wouldn't worry about the button prompts too much. They probably didn't even think about the button prompts when they were putting together the demo footage for Qore. If you have/are watching Gametrailers TV, there were a couple segments of dialogue that were shown that had playstation button prompts.
  15. I remember replaying Kotor 1 about 2 years since my last playthrough and it's been almost like playing the game for the first time. While I of course new the general plot already, I didn't remember most of the quest, not to mention the smaller ones. Unfortunately, I played TSL so much (along with modding) that I doubt it'll be the case here I wish I could do that. There are very, very few games in my collection that I can replay after years and not remember just about everything that I accomplished the last time through. It's sucks so very much to not be able to re-experience a story again no matter how long ago it was. I might not be able to recite everything from scratch, but once I'm back in the game it all comes flooding back. I seriously envy people that can leave something for a year, come back and have everything seem fresh to them again.
  16. Thank you! I completely missed that options button...
  17. I somehow managed to switch the forum over to a threaded view instead of linear and now I can't find the stupid thing to change it back.
  18. ??? organizational theory? you mean they actually have CLASSES on this? damn... coulda used that a couple decades ago. taks Yeah, they do indeed have classes on that. It wasn't exactly very in depth though, so I dunno just how much the average person would really get out of it.
  19. I had a test today in my Organizational Theory class that was worth 50% of my final mark. I'm absolutely horrified about what kind of mark I'm going to get on that test. It didn't seem that bad to be honest. Only needed to answer 7 of the 11 questions and I actually had answers for more than the seven that I did answer, but that's what has me worried. Those always seem to be the tests that I do the worst on. 50% is just a damn huge part of my mark. Watching the interview on TV right now. Just wow...
  20. I had a sudden urge to watch Bourne Supremacy last night so I stayed up late to watch that. Now I want to see Ultimatum again, but I don't have that one on DVD.

    Humans suck. Cats and squirrels, on the other hand, are awesome. No, both cats and squirrels suck also. Cats are jerks and squirrels are fond of decapitating flowers and digging up gardens.
  22. I'm bouncing back and forth between a number of things. I still get the occasional game of L4D going, I'm on Chapter 21 in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and my copy of F.E.A.R. (1, not Project Origin) arrived the other day. Also, for some reason, I bought a British version of F.E.A.R. It has the BBFC ratings on it. For $10 I'm not complaining, but cheap little DVD case? It looks pretty pathetic in my game collection wedged in between Crysis (Limited Edition shininess!) and NOLF2. It kinda blends into the background.
  23. It looks like I'll be seeing it tonight as well. Or at lest I'm going to try to. Jerks. There aren't any midnight showings here. Just 3, 7 and 10pm tomorrow.
