I need to learn programming so I can create a fighting game where you get to name all your opponents and even vary what they look like with tons of customizable facial features. Then you can make them look like, and name them after, people you don't like.

I've already got a few people (especially from my old job) in mind.....

I don't even like fighting games, (Mainly because I get to play them so little that I stinketh at them)

But THIS game, THIS game I would buy. AND learn to play. And become very, very good at. :D

Sorry, channeling a little rage-against-the-stupidity at work myself lately. :)

Wife stayed home again today. Apparently, there's a PTO meeting she wants to attend. WTF do they schedule such a meeting for 0830 on a Wednesday? They must know most parents are probably busy with work (except for we few unlucky ones)? Maybe that's the idea, though.

I've had some heavy debate going on in my head about finally breaking down and buying Diablo III. I've heard good things about it, despite they are forcing you to get a Battle.Net account in order to play. I've even heard you can run through the game solo, no need to team up with (or play against) annoying weirdo strangers.

Scarab Sages

Of course, a new video game might be the last thing I need. It's bad enough I've been replaying many of my old favorites, and ignoring more important things I could be doing.

Scarab Sages

Not this weekend, but the following, we are driving in to New Orleans for a wedding. It is not my choice. I was hoping my wife would simply send a gift and be done with it. It's not like we're actually related to this girl. She's simply my sister-in-law's best friend and like a second daughter to my in-laws.

However, they set the date for Friday. What kind of s!$@head morons get married on a f%&%ing Friday?. So now we have to get the kids home from school/daycare, get the care packed, and drive in Thursday night. Which means the boy will miss a full day of school. Not even a week into the school year. F~&&ing wonderful.

This is why I tend to hate people.

Scarab Sages

So that'll be 12+ hours wasted in travel time.

Stoopid f@+!ing scientists. Why haven't you invented teleporters yet?

Yes, you CAN play Diablo III solo. It has a good (, maybe even great) storyline. Buy the one that includes the Reaper of Souls expansion.

Edit - It is not just on the PC. They have a X-Box 360, X-Box One, PS 3, and PS 4 version of Diablo III. Like before, buy the version that has the Reaper of Souls expansion.

They were wanting to test it, but the lab rat that was to go through it said "NO!!!"

Sadly (or is that "Thankfully"?) I don't have any of those systems. So it would have to be the PC version.

I probably won't do it, simply because a new game to obsess over his the absolute last distraction I need at the moment.

You know, for an Undead Abomination you are pretty smart.

Hollow Man is, in my awesome and fantastical opinion, a severely underrated movie.

Battle Royale - great f#@#ing movie!!! The Japanese are seriously f$@!ed in the head, but in an awesome way.

Don't feel bad. It took me 14 years to "get around".

I'm going to buy a motorcycle, then have it modified with a storm trooper design. Then I can ride it without a helmet, because I'll never hit anything.

A week from today, I'll theoretically be in New Orleans for a wedding. Is it sad that I'm actually hoping one of the kids gets too sick to travel, and I have to stay home?

Scarab Sages

Or...I can always hope my wife forgets to notify the boy's school ahead of time that he would be absent on Friday. Then I conveniently forget to remind her such a thing needs to be done.

No notification means he might get in trouble. That might do the trick....

Scarab Sages

So...I noticed the other day the Star Wars: The Old Republic online game can be downloaded for free and played. Or, at least part of it. I went ahead and downloaded it quickly enough. Then there was an update to download - that took about an hour. Then the update had to install - which also seemed on the path to taking an hour or more.

So I deleted all that s%~! and called it a day. Should have known - free ain't free.

Scarab Sages

I probably should get my second cup of coffee now.

Scarab Sages

Mmmmmmm.....coffee.

OTOH, it CAN be purchased for a reasonable cost from GOG and then downloaded and played. I got one of 2 bundles when GOG got a lot of old Star Wars games for a great deal. And they are always having sales.

OR you you can be like me, and still have your old Original Xbox copy and an original Xbox to play it on. :)

You're thinking "Knights of" The Old Repbulic. I was talking about plain jane "the Old Republic" - the third game in the series, where they made it an MMORPG and moved the timeline forward a few hundred years from the first two games.

And, yes, I also have my original xbox, and recently played my way through KotOR and KotOR II. Now I'm working on Jade Empire. After that, I might follow it up with the original Fable. Not sure yet.

Ah hah! Know I know. Did NOT realize they came out with a third before the online game. :P

I have the original fable. The game itself is not too bad, I enjoyed it, (I never finished it) but those 'bonus' side things, (presenting the monsters head to X# of people in X# of seconds?) EGAD! :P

Wrong game. He was not talking about Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic games (which are AWESOME!!!), but the online Star Wars The Old Republic MMO game.

Pay attention, dragon! I have already lectured him on his misunderstanding! Do not make me send the acid-trip gnomes to give you a sound thrashing and steal your treasure.

Scarab Sages

I have no idea where "acid-trip gnomes" came from, but now I have a desperate need for them to be given stats by someone other than me.

Scarab Sages

Otherwise, it's Labor Day weekend. The sun is currently shining. I have absolutely nothing planned.

This is what happens when the only people you typically socialize with actually have a life and you don't.

Scarab Sages

Baby girl always "wakes daddy up" on the weekend. Typically, I somehow always know when she's going to arrive, and wake myself up. However, I lay there waiting for her.

When she comes in, she usually raises her hand, walks on her toes, and says (quietly) "tip toe, tip toe..." as she crosses the room. Then she says "wake up", gives me "warm hugs" (she loves Olaf from Frozen), then tells me to go potty.

It is one of the more pleasant aspects of my life.

Scarab Sages

I've got some chicken tenders marinating. Later, I will wrap them in bacon and grill them, possibly along with some sweet corn.

Scarab Sages

Finally, the pest control people came out to the house yesterday and did the exterior treatment. I made sure they knew about the several wasp nests around the house. Normally, I would take care of them myself (from the maximum distance allowed by spray), but two in particular were so high up, and in such a location, that even the (27 ft.) spray would not reach them. Little f~$$ers.

Happily, they are all dead now.

Scarab Sages

I have a particular hatred of wasps, ever since I was stung by four at once whilst a young-ish lad.

Scarab Sages

The grilled, bacon-wrapped chicken tenders were particularly delicious this evening. A fine vintage.

Scarab Sages

Kids are in bed and sleeping peacefully. As soon as the wife follows their example, I can have peace and quiet.

Scarab Sages

Tomorrow, I shall.....do something.

Scarab Sages

Probably more than one something.

Scarab Sages

Also, I'm bored.

Scarab Sages

I had finished Jade Empire the night before, so last night I started playing Fable on my old Xbox. Love the game, and this is the "Lost Chapters version, which had a bunch of added content. The game play is still awesome, the graphics are still awesome, and there's a lot of fun s#$! to do in game.

Still, it's not capturing my attention the way I hoped it might. Right now, I don't even feel like starting it up.

Sad.

Scarab Sages

If this keeps up, I may have to go ahead and buy Diablo III, just for the sake of my own sanity.

Scarab Sages

Sometimes, I reread the Really Grimm Fairy Tales I've written, and I worry for my sanity.

Scarab Sages

Seriously, some of that s#$@ is pretty f~~+ed up.

Scarab Sages

Still, if nothing else, I am grateful to Disney for giving me so much to work with.
