This is why encumbrance rules are no fun.

And we have a winner!

You should see 10,000 dice:

It's like 10,000 D6's when all you need is a D10.

Is it bad that I still pictured you saying that in Alanis Morisette's voice, and the "RAAARGRRHH" sung at the top of her lungs?

Isn't that how "You Oughta Know" goes?

It's a word with the meaning all wrong!

A little too ironic.

Alright, it's nearly October. WHERE'S MY COSTUME QUEST 2?!

I'm the only sober one in this apartment right now. Edwin's sleeping off the liter stein he knocked back on today's impromptu German bierhaus trip, and Destruct-o-kitty must have gotten into the catnip stash while we were gone, because she's currently entertaining herself by lying on her side and dragging herself all over the living room with only her front paws.

Edit: plus, now she's walking around with something stuck to her nose and doesn't seem to notice.

The movie Grosse Pointe Blank is even better if you think of it as the sequel to Say Anything.

So you're saying the seatbelt light never turned off?

I tried playing Far Cry 2 multiplayer just now. There are only 8 servers running in the world and all but two are empty. There are only 13 players in the whole world playing this. Most servers seem to be in Spain or South Africa.

It reminds me of the section from Fletcher's Spec Ops the Line article.

"THE MULTIPLAYER IS A CANCEROUS GROWTH."

Had an idea for a game so I hacked together a prototype. It's decent fun for what it is actually. A link if anyone wants to try it: http://www.speedyshare.com/ExfNA/vbo...

Building a dice tower using only D6's may not technically be cheating, but...

"I freaked out, Joined the army, went into business for myself. I'm a professional killer."

Also, kickboxing is the sport of the future.

Do you have to do post-graduate work for that or can you jump right in?

Oh my god those piles of dice. Want to swim in those dice. Like Scrooge McDuck in his money bin.

Aww, that's always sad to me for some reason. Empty online games. Like I used to play a lot of EA's boxing game back in 2009 or so, you'd get matchups immediately. These days? Nothing, it's like a wasteland. There's probably like 4 guys playing all over the world.

On the other hand I bet there's still people playing Everquest or something...

edit: Hey that article looks really good, I'll try to read it later

I know of two coworkers who play Everquest due to the low system requirements enabling them to run on their work laptops and the free-to-play model.

Despite having a bald head these days I look nothing like my baby pictures. I'm starting to think those 40-year-old photos are fakes.

Neighborhood groupthink is amusing. One person puts their trash out on the wrong day and it radiates out from there. Next thing you know half the street has their trash out a day earlier.

(Maybe I should go put mine out just in case...)

I have trouble imagining you as a baby. In my mind, you clawed your way from between your mother's legs as a fully grown bald man grinning manaically.

Period.

[size=8]Seriously. Why'd you have to go with 'clawed'? 'Emerged' would have been nice and gentle; 'sprung full-form' would also have worked. 'Clawed'. *shudder*[/size]

Fight Night Round 3 was the last one made in Chicago, and the last one I bought.

Have you seen this man? Tell me that face doesn't scream "I clawed my way into your world, marking the countdown to the bleeding of your young and the howls of the damned."
