Robot Roll Call!

Kevin Smith, Former Deputy Minister of Vocabulary Wrongity

I think Steve was more right than I was.

T.S.:"Wow, look at this laundry list of complaints. Says you have no directiion, no college ambition, no job prospects..."
Brodie:"Yeah, it also says I have no dick. But you'll notice that follows the financial question, proving once more what women really look for."
T.S.:"Oh no, she calls you callow in here."
Brodie:"You say that like it's bad."
T.S.:"Well, it means frightened and weak-willed."
Brodie:"Really. Sh*t, that was the only part of the letter I thought was complimentary."

Now Am Realistisch

Steve and I officially have the same 'do, even though in the Life Real his is more Blade Runner von Sydow and mine is more 'skull stubble', our avatars manage a certain versimileh.

Nonetheless:

Fists wins one internets.

Tuesday - 11/24

So, shall we take an H3 break Tuesday? Perhaps some Team Fortress??

(do you think the big guy wanted to be the heavy? Or was he just obligated - "hey man, you're the big guy, you HAVE to be the heavy. Besides...I've already got a scout costume")

Radioshack INCIDENT (with audio)

Rock & Roll Epilogue

I like to think of this as the sad, true-life ending to the Police classic "Be My Girl Sally."

Robot Ants!

apropos of nothing

Xbox update online

I'm out Tuesday. Just a reminder that the dashboard for the 360 has been updated. It's a pretty quick update, but you might want to log in ahead of time for about 10 minutes (anytime before Tues) and poke around it a bit. Most of the stuff they added seems to be fluff - but I'm a sucker for creating a "realistic" avatar of myself.

My favorite failblog to date

Not gaming related, unless you include Burnout (which I've picked up by the way - $15):

Splitting Hairs

I've had conversations in the past about the difference between geeks and nerds. We had agreement that there was an industrious quality to geekdom that is lacking in nerds. Steve has his a broadened coinage for nerd which I think is near-synonymous with "spaz" ("he is a raquetball nerd."), but I do buy his basic premise, which is that anyone can be into something to an uncool degree, regardless how "cool" that thing might be regarded.

Anyway, this chart brings in the third leg of the milking stool.

I don't get paid for this, honest.

So, it's lonely wandering the Fallout 3 wastes, but you have your radio. At the beginning you have the option to choose between one playing patriotic tunes with a Paul Harvey-esque announcer, or another one playing oldies like this:



Or this



Sure, you could turn the radio off - but tell me YOU don't want to stumbling around through twisted rebar and rusted out atomic cars while blowing off the heads of super mutants while listening to that?

Sorry sir, it appears you've been blacklisted...

They DO sell batteries at other stores. Perhaps they can sell you some rechargeable units?

It's Official

Last night I had some lab guys watch the game to see what they could come up with. i didn't say anything because i didn't want it to distract you. What they found was interesting even if it's only official validation of what you already knew -- they said that The Hessian is more slippery than wet ice on wet ice.

The Hessian: slippery mofo
