So Many Topics

One) Darkon

Props to DP Wieland--which is the best future-author name ever, and who is one of my favorite scrappy defensive-offensemen PK specialists on the Minneapolis Swine Hockey Club (MSHC)--props to D for the heads up on what surely will sweep this year's Oscars in all documentary categories. All I have to say is "Lightning Bolt! Lightning Bolt!" These fuckers truly know how to roll... twenties.


Two) Hinoi

Props to Zinnfondle for the heads up on these pretty Japanese girls and their prettier Japanese fire-breathing wrestler. I dare you to resist the urge to learn those complex arm... movements; I dare you to resist singing along: "Night ahv Fylu!"


Three) Late Night Office Fun

Sal messaged me at 11:30 pm. She was sad because she thought I was out at the bars with everyone else in the world--or at least everyone in our department. But, in fact, I was grading in the office. She didn't ask for proof, but I supplied it anyway.

Then I decided to go back to grading papers until security kicked me out--which normally would have happened at midnight. But they never showed. Here's more proof.



Four) Garmz - Black & White 2

Fuck. Yes.

As if B&W1 didn't accomplish enough, B&W2 is even better. Well, I'm guessing it is. I haven't exactly played it yet.

In B&W1, of course, you play as a god--good or evil, whatever you want. You gain belief/influence over mortals by manifesting miracles. For instance, you can save drowning children if you're a good god. The villagers rejoice and praise you. Or, if you decide to go evil, instead of saving a drowning child, toss one out to sea. You'd still gain belief/influence since eville miracles like those cause mortals to praise you out of fear. My kind of game.

As cool it is to play God, you get to take care of an avatar too! Avatars steal the show in B&W1. It's surprisingly fun to play fetch with them, scratch their bellies when they're nice to a peasant, slap them around when they "accidentally" eat one, and teach them new tricks that help spread your godly influence with the mortals. Your avatar, as well as the temple at which peasants worship you, is a reflection of your alignment, either good or evil. An avatar of a good god glows with a sparkling aura while an evil avatar's eyes blaze and its footprints scorch the land.

In B&W2, though, avartars are all growed up. Your avatar leads an army of believers into battle against enemy avatars and their heathen non-believer armies. I better type some of those words again: Avatar... leads army... into battle... enemy avatar... heathen non-believer armies...

Peter Molyneux will you marry me? Type "wOOt" in a comment if yes.
