Today's the day we celebrate goofy attempts at unified Roman state religion. so whether it's Saturnalia (held over), the feast of Sol Invictus, or Christmas, have a good one.

If it is none of those, then merry Tuesday, I recommend the mu-shu pork with extra pancakes, and the Black Adder Christmas Carol.

well, he answered so post a reply in this journal and I will do the following:

1) Tell you something I learned about you by looking at your FA page for 13 seconds.
2) Tell you a color you remind me of.
3) Tell you my first memory of you.
4) Ask you a question.
5) Tell you something I like about you.
6) Tell you an object that is to the left of me.
7) Dare you to do this yourself in your Journal.

Do you DARE to reply, and take the Fenris challenge?

so Netflix poped up "Jesus Christ Super Star" as a suggestion since I had been watching documentaries on Rome and the Medici.

I've never seen the whole thing before, just a song or two. And this brings me to a question.

Are you really supposed to like Jesus in this?

From my point of view Judas and Caiaphus are the only ones who are not talking crazy. Judas is pissed that jesus is wasting medicine and money on himself instead of using it for the poor, and is put off by the people giving him accolades that will inevitably anger Rome.

Caiaphus is worried that they're going to call jesus king, which is the quickest possible way to get a roman rampage through the area.

But Jesus is just a straw messiah in it. Just very different than I expected from what little I knew about it.

That said Judas and Caiaphus were right, and future half assed messiahs and revolts did get the romans to smash the whole province.

And I'm just sort of rambling.

Does the series get good again after 2? I ask because I really enjoyed the first game, but this second one is proving to be almost unplayable to me. I kind of want to know where the games go story wise, but they took the game play aspect I like, sneaking up on things, and buried it under a bunch of races, collectables, and jumping puzzles. And I'm not sure if I want to slog through this mess to get to the next game in the series, or if I'm just going to pretend Assassin's Creed ended with 1.

Yep. Sandy annihilated half my town. I am currently hiding out an hour to the west, and even here power was only just restored minutes ago.

My apartment is undamaged, but unlivable until the utilities get to working again. Until then I can respond but I don't have access to my scanner until I go back home.

Once again there is a gigantic all destroying flood headed to my area 3 weeks after I moved. Clearly Poseidon has some absurd grudge against me. Well screw you you watery bastard, I hate albatrosses and I think your horse looks dumb.

moved into the new apartment, internet is hooked up, and normal operation should be resuming.

I really hope I don't need to do this again next year.

Found a new place, will be moving in the coming week. internet access interruptions are very likely, and may continue for and uncertain duration.


You have been warned.

the weather was kind of shit here so I ended up playing halo reach. what did you do?

what's best in life?

So I beat the ronin and their sword powers. I mowed the samdi down without the slightest hesitation, and I just now got to the red shirt 90s tattoo cliché convention, and I have to ask one question, "will the main character ever learn to make a proper threat?"

I mean for fuck sake she's in a room with Donnie and captain big and worfy and she can't even think to ask donnie if he's forgotten the sounds of the rollers burning to death? Ask him if he can sleep through the night yet? Or hell just mention that she is currently wanted for over 5,000 counts of murder 1.

Anyway, the difficulty really goes completely out of all the fights once you unlock infinite submachine gun ammo.

I finished Saints Row last night and have started on 2. So far not bad. I really like that Ultor goes and pulls an OCP on still water.

Not really as in love with the character customization as I had hoped. The face works well, but the body kind of needed more options. Some sliders for hips, butt, breasts, and belly would really help. Since the breasts look a little rediculously tiny if you pass 60 on fat and max muscle.

Also I really enjoy pounding the Ronin and their crappy swords into the ground with a crow bar. Their little bikes aren't bad either.

Due to cost, and recommendations, I went with saints row 1&2

what are people's favorite 360 games? So far I've played Halo (all of them except reach) crackdown 2, and assassins' creed.

going to finish out the current list in the previous journal, but that is it for now.

For reasons I'm not going to elaborate on, I have off until monday. no one I know is free for most of that time, so I'm just going to be drawing.

What would people like to see?

(this is your chance to request stuff. I won't guarantee I'll do everything requested, but I'll probably get to many of them.)


Edit: don't ask if you can request, just post what you would want. I'm going to decide based on subject, not based on who is requesting.

Epic Rap Battles in History!

I assume the rest of you long since heard these, but they're new to me.

Gin + that watermelon stuff next to the lemonaide + club soda = a thing. Probably gives you fire resistance like the cheese wheel.

What?

I have spent most of the day cleaning. I swear the apartment is more of a mess than it was when I started. clearly something has gone wrong here.

So, those of you who draw porn or random fetishy stuff using physical media, what do you do with the original after the picture is scanned? I ask because I've just got mine sitting in a pile on a shelf in the closet, and it occurs to me I almost never take them back out after scanning them.

I'm working on something and could use some thing to listen to. ideally I'm looking for a good internet radio station or a fairly long play list. Something I can just start running and not need to change or adjust often. Anyone got any ideas?

"is that a cat girl, I've had a bad experience with catgirls." -someone else in response to a daktari sitting on a table.


er right http://www.infinitythegame.com/infi.....paign-doctors/ <--- that kind of daktari. she was apparently very threatening at all of 28mm tall.

so another mass effect journal. I've been messing around with the multiplayer, and there is a store that sells these various forms of blind purchase upgrades, which I guess makes sense. The part that has me confused is that I can either buy them with credits (fictional money you get by winning missions) or with bioware points (which are just scrip that is bought with real money).

Is this sort of scheme common in online multiplayer? Do people really pay money for in game mystery boxes?

Just finished mass effect 3. had fun up until the last 20 minutes.
My suggestion is play up until the start of the final mission then take the disc out and just imagine there was an epic space battle followed by a party and liara doing things she'd regret in the morning.


(as the title says spoilers ahoy)



(are you gone?)




(seriously last chance to leave)


WHAT THE FUCKING HELL. I spend all that time getting Quariens and Geth to live together in harmony, and the only non-retarded ending would take out all the geth as colateral? what the fucking hell!

There were geth and quariens living inside the same damn space suit it was gonna be great!


I brought Garus and Tali with to earth because they were the only members of the crew that I could really count on. Especially Garus. I would play the shit out of a Garus's 1 month vigilante spree if there were such a game or DLC.

Spoilers for Mass Effect 2 Overlord follow.



The damn cain mini nuke just took all of the drama out of the ending of overlord for me. The whole time while Shepard is lecturing the doctor about performing unethical experiments on an autistic savont all I could think about was "didn't I just shoot him with a nuke?"

I'm pretty sure this is because I did the boss battle the wrong way. It's just a little hard to take someone seriously when they are talking about the welfare of someone they just nuked.

Good dlc, I just wish I had brought a different heavy weapon.
