And why aren't you here entertaining me? I demand answers.
-
I apologize.. I've been mostly hounding the Gaming forums and neglecting the General Discussion board.. and all the other boards.
-
I was just staring at two squirrels having sex. And it wasn't your gentle animal sex, they were rough - tumbling around and stuff.
-
I found a good bootleg site and have been busy rocking out.

I've been reading Desolation Jones (http://www.amazon.com/Desolation-Jones-Warren-Ellis/dp/140121150X/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1214149908&sr=8-1). Sweet ass book.
And I'm really digging J.H Williams art work.
check this out. (http://www.jhwilliams3.com/gallery/)

Thanks for the links. The book sounds intriguing... might have to hit my comic shop up for it. Been a while since I've picked up a good graphic novel.
-
Nobody is ever here anymore, so I've been elsewhere.
-
I've been having modem troubles.
-
Plus it's summer. So I've been spending a lot of time outside.
-
I was horizontal at the time, probably unconscious (in a good way).

well my life has been a little interesting as of late. as i said before, i was living at home because of my pedo housemate. after a night out (the champions league final), i came home very drunk and put the tv on. my dad stormed into my room and demaded that i turn the tv off and stated that i was treating the place like a hotel, so i threw a few sentiments his way which resulted in him threatening to kick the shit out of me. i suggested he give it a try, which ended up with me breaking a chair on him, kneeling on his face and insulting him until he cried. i got the fuck out of the house and promptly got arrested for assault.
so yeah, i'm living back at the flat with psycho - where we currently have no internet access. he's gone completely off of the rails on mdma and coke and is high pretty much every night of the week. he's also suicidal and utterly mental. he slit his wrists the other day spraying blood all over our bathroom and up one of our hallway walls. unfortunately he didn't kill himself, he just made a real mess of the place. understandably no-one wants to hang out with him at the moment, so he keeps trying to infiltrate my social life, which doesn't really work since pretty much all of my friends thought he was a dick even before all of this. i also managed to lose my house keys, which means i have to rely on my housemate to be awake/around when i want to get back in after nights out - which is difficult because he holds it against me that me and my friends wish he would quitely die and leave us all alone (either that or sort himself out - but that's even less likely). i feel for the guy, but some of the shit he's doing is getting pretty unforgivable.
other than that, having a strong desire to be out of the flat for as many hours of the day as possible, along with the lack of internet access have forced me into becoming a bit of a socialite. i've been drinking a lot (i mean a lot more than usual) and been catching up with a lot of old friends. i even got in a pub brawl recently - something i haven't done for ages. ended up chipping a tooth and gouging a lump out of the inside of my lip, giving me the ability to spit blood at will, which in my drunken stupor seemed nearly as cool as breathing fire. also, my sex life is the best it's ever been, which while not something you need to know, i take a great ammount of pleasure in writing. there's something about having your life turn into a big, steaming pile of shit that really makes you relish fucking the living shit out of someone.
but yes, from my frequent visits to macdonalds to rinse their free internet for torrents, i've briefly popped by and noticed this place is pretty quiet.
-
Holy fucking shit.
Looking at the bright side, that should entertain Que nicely. There's more drama there than in your average miniseries.
-
I moved two weeks ago and the only thing that didn't survive it was my PC. I ordered 400 bucks worth of parts over the weekend and am hoping to rectify the situation soon enough.
-
Hooray for entertainment!
And that sucks K-Man. I hate moving, but I've never lost a PC over it. That would probably send me over the edge.
-
I am stuck with some stuff... came back to talk about George Carlin for a touch. I probably won't be back for another year. Whee.
-
I probably won't be back for another year. Whee.
Wait, what?
-

I know you still lurk... why don't you post? Someday you'll have to let us know what's up.
-
I'm pretty sure that Pug and Raisa got married and moved to super mystery island where no one knows what the fuck is going on.
At least, that's my theory.

I'd feel better about it if I knew exactly how it happened. Handled it with kid gloves the whole time while I was moving. Got down here, connected everything, plugged in the power supply, flip the switch on power supply, PC turns on :o
Yeah, obviously that's not supposed to happen. You flip the switch ont he power supply and the motherboard lights up and the fans come on..nothing else. I guess somehow it just fried.
-
Try reseating everything?
-
am here... sometimes.. not married but quite soon!!
-
I always thought scary would be the next one to get married
-
I've been following the story about Beo's crazy roomate for a while.
Pretty crazy stuff. :P
Sounds like the kind of guy who'd get a needle in the neck from Dexter and wake up covered in plastic.
-
Dexter is such a great show. I'm on the last season of Six Feet Under right now. The contrast in Michael C. Hall's character is great.

Um, are you cool with your dad now?
-
not exactly. my dad always used to threaten me, and hit me a few times when i lived at home full time. i used to put up with it for the most part, because i didn't really have any other options. this time i went ape shit crazy, because fuck it - he might be my father, but he's acted like a complete dick towards me over the years and i'm old enough that i don't have to put up with it anymore.
my mum has problems with him too, and my older brothers had similar relationships with my dad when they were younger - it's just the way he is. thankfully though, since the above mentioned incident, he's realised that maybe it's him who has the problem and has started seeing a councellor. he's actually tried to sort things out with me, but i don't think i'm ready to put all his shit behind me just yet.
-
Doing 50/90 (http://5090.fawm.org), and so should you be, Que.
-
Shit, with my life right now? Not a chance. I wish. And if I even tried to attempt it I'd probably keel over after smoking 3 packs of cigarettes in a week. I did see the email a bit ago and I wish I could participate, but even if I wanted to, this is the worst year ever for creative inspiration. I've been creatively dead up until Friday, when I finally wrote a new poem after quite some time writing next to nothing.
Good luck with it, though. I'll have to pop over and hear some of your stuff. I should probably get on the forums and expose myself to musical goodness, too. I haven't picked up my guitar in a couple of months. It hurts me to think about it.
-
mmmm married now.
-
Congratulations! I hope you're giddy-happy. :)
-
Congrats Raisa! I hope your wedding went well. :-*
-
Congratulations raisa!
-
That's a pretty good excuse for not being around
-
Aww, now she can have little political assassin babies!
Also, are you serious? Because I totally couldn't tell before if you were joking about it or not.
-
political assassin babies? hahahaha
thanks guys.. yes.. it's quite true. I'm still getting used to the idea myself.
-
Well congratulations, then. May the two of you be very happy together.
-
pics pls
-
You know, a little bit of this, a little bit of that.
-
A little bit of depriving us entirely of your presence? We wondered if you fell into oblivion never to return! Glad to see that isn't the case.
-
Congrats, Raisa!
Also, yeah,50/90 is tough. So far I'm up to 7. The Latex Heart Attack have made an appearance, as will new fake-band Berlin Beckons.
-
God damn it. How do you people find the time and energy for this stuff? I swear, at this point all I can do in the evenings is crawl into bed and play with my DS for a half hour before passing out.
-
I just had Porchclimbers. We mixed a 26er of Gin, 26er of Vodka, 6 beers, 2 cans of Five Alive Concentrate and one can of Ice Tea concentrate. All this split between three people. It tastes like fruit juice and is almost 40% alcohol - this means it always leads to good times.
-
I almost vomited when you said gin, then again when you mentioned orange juice. No thank you. If you substituted in some Southern Comfort you'd have my trifecta of alcohol related no-nos all rolled into one drink.
-
I will never understand why you people find gin so offensive. It's really quite a benign mixer that goes well with all kinds of stuff. What's not to like?
-
I recently mentioned somewhere that I found a recipe for a gin cocktail which is basically OJ & gin mix. (WTF are orange bitters?) Beefeater gin is the only real booze in the house now, so I was looking for a way to make it palatable. Amazingly, the mix works. I guess it must be like chili plus alka-seltzer. They mellow each other out.
-
Clearly posted it in the wrong thread...
I'm here still, but I spend most of my life offline. I finally succumbed to starting a blog so I can shout my thoughts at the internet. It's mostly political / social justice oriented, rather than personal bitching/whining. There is a great deal of bitching and whining, but aimed at Canada's ever-unraveling society.
But yeah, I've mostly vanished from forum-life. I just don't have the time anymore. Life takes up most of my life now... No time for the intertubes
-
I haven't been around in a while. Sorry, but I've been busy trying to see if this writing thing can work out, starting a website with my step brother, and moving out of my house and being really fucking poor.
-
And why aren't you here entertaining me? I demand answers.
B/c I'm boring, you get no entertainment and no answers. :P
-
At least you're posting, which is more than the rest of us can claim the past 2 days.
-
The past 2 days I have been playing Assassins Creed. There is my excuse.
-
I sprained my ankle. The entire area between about midway down on my left calf and the second knuckle of all 5 toes is one giant bruise.
-
Jeez, that sucks. How'd you manage that?
-
Running over uneven ground in the rain at work. On the plus side, I got a week off work, but I spent the first 5 days in bed since it hurt so badly.
-
Pussy.
:-[
-

That game is fun, until you realize there is no variation in the gameplay. But it sure is pretty to look at, and the fighting system is pretty fun once you get near end-game
-
Pussy.
:-[
Agreed, but considering it happened at work, there's no sense in hurrying the whole return process. The doctor said stay off my feet for a week, I was compelled to oblige. Today was my first day back at work. I liked laying around more.
-

I just picked this up today, I'm having fun with it so far.
I was playing through COD4 again this past week on the hardest setting. I put around 12 or so hours into it and enjoyed it again, though there are some portions on the hardest difficulty that are just frustrating as hell - particularly when you die and have no control over it.
Also I've been working full time and trying to socialize with people. So I've been busy. Kind of.
-
I did notice the repetitiveness of AC, but it really didn't bother me. I beat the game and did every "investigation" mission. Sure they were all the same things over and over, but I had so much fun running around the city that it didn't matter. The new PC only investigations were ok. I liked the archer assassination and the race ones. The merchant stand destruction ones kinda sucked because no matter what it got the attention of the guards. Oh well, cant win em all.
Also, those templars would show up in the worst places. "I just killed a pile of guards and now have 10 more actively searching for me, so I'm going to do my monk thing and slowly walk away and hide over th...fuck a templar!"
-
Even though AC is a fairly repetitive game and the gameplay doesn't evolve, it's still really fun to play. I sometimes feel like playing through it again.

The merchant stand destruction missions REQUIRE you to get the attention of the guards I thought... That's what I did with it and I passed those missions
I agree though, sometimes I just boot up the game to parkour around for a while. Climbing to the top of that huge church gives me vertigo on a big monitor
-
I played AC way longer than I needed to, just because of that. What you get to do is so much acrobatic fun that it doesn't matter that there's little else to do.
-
I'm actually on the other side of the fence now. I'm obscenely bored with the game and find it very hard to play. I think the game is brilliant on many levels, but I think I have to more or less side with the critics now. I've tried to get enough momentum going to finish it, but the game just bores the crap out of me. It's a great playground, and would be amazing if it just had more combat depth and mission variety. Then it would be as good a game as it should have been. That doesn't detract from all the amazing things they did do, though. I still think the way they built the world was fantastic, and seeing Jerusalem from a distance for the first time and the first time I walked into Damascus rank as some of my most memorable gaming moments ever.
