Congrats!
I agree with the communist goblin. Debt repayment is incredibly important.No. Pay off your debts.So I recently got a couple of hundred dollars I wasn't expecting, and now I have to decide what to do with it. I have narrowed it down to 2 choices, which I shall call The Responsible Choice and The Fun Choice.
** spoiler omitted **
** spoiler omitted **
Right now, I am leaning heavily towards The Responsible Choice. Can anyone convince me to instead make The Fun Choice?

Victory is mine! After clearing the cache the Xbox was able to find enough memory to actually run the stuff at the end of the fight with the archdemon!!! Okay, yes, I know, this is sad that I'm so excited about winning a video game, but hey, it's the little things. ^.^
Dragon Age is an awesome game to play and you are totally justified in being excited to see past the death of the archdemon. :)

Does this place come with a new laundry room? Cuz I'm really interested in this new place I will go to to explode into my composite parts when things get tough.
The laundry will be in the garage. Let me know before you start to feel jealous about anything so I can park my car outside.
Thank you.
Had a nice, if short, weekend home with my family.
We saw Transformers 3, and, well, it didn't improve my opinion of the franchise. I will refrain from my Freeholdian hate-filled rant, but I will say that I didn't even bother to shush the people behind me who were loudly narrating the movie as it went along.

Ah it was that good eh. Well I will put that on the list of movies to wait till they leave the theater then.
I have been wanting to see the new X-men film anyone like it?

It is good. If you have any familiarity with the X-Men comics leave that behind, because it does not really follow any sort of canon.

It was fun to watch, though. :) As I know little of the comic, I just got to enjoy it for what it was.

Dammit, CJ. Must you ALWAYS make my [redacted]?!?!Quiet. Everyone must be watching True Blood or something.When you came in the air went out
And every shadow filled up with doubt
I don't know who you think you are
But before the night is through
I wanna do bad things with youI'm the kind to sit up in his room
Heart sick an' eyes filled up with blue
I don't know what you've done to me
But I know this much is true
I wanna do bad things with you, okayWhen you came in the air went out
And all those shadows there filled up with doubt
I don't know who you think you are
But before the night is through
I wanna do bad things with you
I wanna do real bad things with youI don't know what you've done to me
But I know this much is true
I wanna do bad things with you
I wanna do real bad things with you
Um no.... must I remind you...Kelly Bundy.

Actually, I try to watch comic book movies with the idea that I'm going to watch the movie for what it is. Comic books do not translate directly to movies, and it's silly when someone attempts to do it (*cough*Watchmen*cough*).

I didn't see it in the theater, and it didn't hold my attention enough when it showed up on cable TV for me to watch it all the way through.

Ah, I did like the Watchmen movie, I thought it was well done, but I really liked the comic book as well. I know it did not do terribly well sales wise but I thought there were plenty of movies which I love like 1982 version of the Thing which did not do well in the theater but I at least thought were good.

Overall, I liked Watchmen, but there were some irritating things about it--namely, why they decided to deviate from the series for Veidt's plan if they were going to follow so closely to the series in nearly every other aspect.
The Thing was an excellent movie. The whole John Carpenter/Kurt Russell run worked very well. Are you going to see the remake of the remake?

It is an awesome game. It's been years since I just sat down and played video games, but this one definitely sucked me back in. :)
growing up over here, most of this comics are completly unkown and superhero comics pretty much don't exist.
so every comic book movie is a new story with fresh new characters for me.
superman, spiderman and batman have been only movie characters for me as a child. x-men was only a tv cartoon
watchman, blade, green lantern, daredevil and many others I had never even heard about before there was a movie
the comics I grew up with are: Asterix, Lucky Luke, Micky Mouse, Clever&Smart, Yps

It did not bother me so much about Veidt's plan being changed, I gathered it was to make the movie perhaps less expensive? The alien race created to destroy everything with mental powers may have lost the audience a little more than they already were. I actually thought the plan made the story a little tighter.
As for the new Thing I heard it was going to be a prequel not a remake of the remake, mind you I think Carpenter's remake was better than the orginal one of the few times that can be said.

2 is awesome as well, and if you can enjoy sci fi, Mass Effect 1 and 2 are a must!

I'm planning on getting Dragon Age 2 sometime in the next couple of months. And as soon as I finish playing through Awakenings (Yay for exapnsions so I'm not done with the game too soon.) I'm going to give Mass Effect a try. Our neighbor loaned it to us, and will also loan us Mass Effect 2 if we like the first one. Yes, our neighbor is awesome. :)
That said, I know full well that once school is back in session that I won't have much playing time at all. It'll go back to all homework all the time. Though it shouldn't be nearly as bad as last semester. At least the nightmares have stopped now. :)

Those are of a much different style and substance than mainstream American "comic books" which for years has been with few exceptions have been "superhero" comics. Stylistically you have three styles based mainly upon two companies. DC and Marvel.

Does this place come with a new laundry room? Cuz I'm really interested in this new place I will go to to explode into my composite parts when things get tough.
The laundry will be in the garage. Let me know before you start to feel jealous about anything so I can park my car outside.
Thank you.

that sounds so wrong. Where is Uri when you really need him?
For those who like to write adventures....I have a feeling my "Dormant Volcano of the Ice Drake" won't win. :(
And not only because I stole heavily from The Crystal Shard for good chunks of it. And, yes, the dragon's name was Icingdeath!
Did your player catch the reference? Do you run in FR or Golorian?
EDIT: Naked DMing for ToP o_O
No, hee hee!
My players don't read much fantasy. I wouldn't have attempted something so blatant if I had thought for a minute I was going to get called out!
EDIT: Good Dungeon Masters borrow, great Dungeon Masters steal!
We're playing in Golarion, but they don't know much about it, yet. We spent three years playing in the Scarred Lands and this is only the third session on Avistan.
One of the reasons we (or I should say I) switched over was there seemed to be a lot of thematic continuity between the two worlds (Calastia = Cheliax, for example, and the grimness of the setting).
I really like what I've read of Golarion (Vive la Galt!), but if Scarred Lands was still getting support, we'd probably still be there.

Man. I was almost sacrificed to Moore et. al. by my friends for not liking that movie.
That's amusing, but I don't think Moore would care one way or the other. His apathy towards film adaptations of his work is pretty well-known.
I loved the comic, was pretty meh about the film.
I still cry at night speculating at what it would've looked like if Terry Gilliam had done it. Same with Harry Potter, actually.

John Carpenter and Kurt Russell in 2012!
Grr. I really hate when someone decides to have both sides of an argument that isn't even happening anywhere other than in their own head and I can't even get a word in edgewise.
I'll proudly go down on record as a fan of the Harry Potter books.
The movies, imho, were mostly pedestrian, with a notable improvement, again imho, when Alfonso Cuaron picked up the reigns for Prisoner of Azkaban.
You may be right about TG and HP, but, still, I wish he had helmed at least one of the films, just so I could see it.
Yum yum.
My garden is coming along smashingly.
Peas and swiss chard and beets, oh my!

I can understand why they changed it, but it was jarring in a movie that also presented scenes almost panel-by-panel from the series.

Heh heh.....I remember asking the panel at the comic convention "are they gonna make an X-men movie?" when I was like 12;
and George Perez {look him up if you don't know....;)} says to me "nothing in the immediate future,.....but you never know what the future'll hold...." or something like that.|

I can't seem to escape large corporations. We just found out today that the company I started at in April is being bought by another, larger corporation. I'm trying to stay optimistic despite the last time I saw something like this, half the employees were gone after three months.

It....it's like....I don't know you anymore!!!
Just kidding. While I agree that Carpenter's film was vastly superior to the original black and white, that older movie does hold a bit of sentimental love from me. Back in the day, AMC used to do Friday night classic horror movies, and I remember that being one my dad and I loved watching.

I can understand that.
By way of contrast, I'll throw out The Day the Earth Stood Still. That there was a terrible remake/re-imagining. Whoa!
