  • 13:24 I mis-heard the DM as saying that monsters were armed with "meat dispensers." I expected their battle cry to be: "WOULD YOU LIKE A BURGER?!" #
  • 17:26 "How do you ball-gag a sword?" #
  • 17:40 Primal Power is pretty good. More fluff than the previous power books, which is good. Gives some more context for those classes. #dnd #
  • 18:49 "We just trust him." "He's got the Hand of Vecna, after all." #dnd #

  • 10:35 Criticism of L4D2's AI director tweaks, making the game too hard/less fun: digs.by/pxB Worrying. I guess I'll have to see for myself. #

  • 12:04 You know what video game trend I want to see? Cross-platform multiplayer, so I can play games with my friends, whatever system they prefer. #
  • 13:50 Dealing with governments is ridiculous. An hour and 4 phone calls later, I'm not much closer to fixing this. #
  • 15:48 Fuck. The screening of Stingray Sam in Seattle is tonight and I forgot. Goddamn shit, I did _not_ want to miss that. digs.by/q4o Grr. #
  • 16:22 Why is it so hard to just get someone on the phone to tell me what I need to do to fix this shit? Fuck bureaucracy. #MMAwouldfixthat #
  • 17:01 Alright, tickets juggled. Looks like an online payment I made when I thought I was being responsible never went through. #
  • 17:01 Now I need to run paperwork back and forth. And show up in court at the end of the month. #
  • 21:02 Alright! Managed to actually go see Stingray Sam at the screening in Seattle! Hooray! #
  • 23:32 I'm so glad @agentmobius gave me motivation to make it to Stingray Sam. It was great and I got to meet @corymcabee #

  • 11:04 Is Chrome going to be the first real push for the cloud-based OS? Interesting, but I use iTunes and actual program way too much to jump. #
  • 11:08 Looks like Chrome OS is basically just the Chrome browser that doesn't need Windows, Linux or Mac to run. Interesting. #
  • 11:15 I love ads that make no damn sense digs.by/pDO What do Pringles have to do with Silent Hill and Lara Craft-as-a-stripper? #

  • 11:51 The more I pay attention to politics, the more discouraged I become in general and the more "Republican" becomes a dirty word in specific. #
  • 12:20 Pretty cool thoughts on email RP/skill challenges supplementing the Penny Arcade D&D game digs.by/iMS #

  • 09:24 So I've been asked to let my hair grow out. I don't think @agentmobius understands the terror of the White Man Fro she is asking for. #
  • 09:38 Taking down your web site so that attendees can't see what events you had LAST year to judge the coming year? Bad idea. #
  • 09:42 Man, the drama never ends, does it? This is gonna fuck some shit up hardcore... #
  • 10:24 I was _this_ close to actually taking a goddamn Facebook quiz, but my will remained strong. #
  • 10:52 I kinda wish that the background text went somewhere, but PulpFest has one of the coolest-looking con sites I've seen digs.by/hkF #
  • 11:24 If you have a pre-reg discount, why don't you list at-the-door prices so I know how much I'm saving and actually want to register early? #
  • 11:44 Guess the wild and carefree days of summer are over. Let's get back on the diet and see if I can get rid of the rest of the weight I want. #
  • 12:14 The God of War Collection makes me wish that more old games would get a brush-off and update for current consoles, without complete remakes. #
  • 12:36 totally different - listen to Uncle Tupelo - I Wanna Be Your Dog (Acoustic Demo) (Iggy Pop & The Stooges cover) on @hypem awe.sm/6ODc #
  • 13:59 surprisingly emotional - listen to Brandi Carlile - Mad World (Gary Jules/Tears for Fears cover) on @hypem awe.sm/6OTd #
  • 14:16 I love every version of this song that I hear - listen to Athlete - Bulletproof (La Roux Cover) on @hypem awe.sm/6OXb #
  • 14:32 Hooray! Fucking computer locked up again and Explorer crashed! Man, I sure do love Windows. Yes indeedy. #
  • 14:38 Guess my computer's not powerful enough to handle this newfangled "screen saver" technology. #
  • 15:17 Logan's gonna hate me for this one: listen to Petty Booka - Lost In The Supermarket (The Clash cover) on @hypem awe.sm/6PIk #
  • 16:32 Looks like I'm going to have to monitor my Internet and yell at Comcast. digs.by/hul I don't pay for X down to only get to use Y. #
  • 16:57 Time to head home. Gonna check on @agentmobius and give her the gift of Light and Food first, though. Traffic's gonna suck... #
  • 17:21 Just sitting here. Watching the light change. "25 minutes with traffic" was a cruel joke, Google. #
  • 20:55 Heading home finally. @agentmobius has been bundled up, fed and finally has a light in her room. Now I have to figure out late, late food. #
  • 21:09 Super-late birthday present from @lilliankasper twitpic.com/obv14 #
  • 22:43 awesomely low-key - listen to Four Tet - Iron Man (Black Sabbath Cover) on @hypem awe.sm/6RPi #
  • 22:54 Dinner: sauteed chicken & broccoli, seasoned with garlic salt, black pepper & all-purpose seasoning. Yummy & on-diet. #
  • 22:54 I think I'm gonna finally start playing Mass Effect. I've been putting it off, but I just gotta dive in before I'm tempted by any new game. #
  • 00:48 So... played a bit of Mass Effect. Plot seems totally awesome... but gameplay hints at lots of frustration in my future... #

  • 11:10 played Rock Band 2 yesterday gamerdna.com/r/2UC4 #
  • 11:15 How come the character builder never prints to PDF quite properly? Isn't PDF supposed to be _standard_? #dnd #
  • 11:22 Looks like the character builder crashed trying to open the preference pane. Awesome. #dnd #
  • 11:38 Is there any way to specify custom languages in the character builder? Can't seem to find it... #dnd #
  • 12:49 "I'm smuggling bacon... IN MY ASS!" *shows* *everyone cries* #
  • 13:36 Combat begins! Time to try out these new paragon path powers for the first time. Blood Moon Stalker FTW! #dnd #
  • 13:56 50 points of damage on a crit. Hell yeah. Charged with combat advantage to get +1d10+1d6+4 bonus damage - then critted for +6d6 more. #dnd #
  • 14:14 Man, Front Row _freaks_ out when it loses a connection to whatever library it's trying to play from. #
  • 15:25 I may need new shoes... twitpic.com/my1cj #
  • 17:45 I think I've come to terms with the new Apple mouse. I think I'll have to pick 'em up soon... #
  • 02:41 Boss battles might still be pretty damn stupid, but damn if I can't stop exploring in #arkhamasylum, especially once I get the Riddler map. #
  • 02:47 And the cat pissed the bed again. Just what I wanted to find out when I'm already going to bed waaaay to late. :( #
