Sméagol

Funny thing, I was about to ask you, so I logged in, then saw your PM. You answered before I asked. Ok I’m in.

Pre-orders are up, on Hobby Search amongst others. Slated for March.

You have 2 more endings when you do down with the elevator instead of up. In fact, both of the endings have been changed somewhat in the final game, so I’d say go out and experience them in the mod first. Especially the “videogame ending” was a nice surprise in the final game. Anyway, as you can see, I changed the opening post to talk about the stand-alone game, although the mod is still available. Can some mod remove the “(source sdk mod)” from the title please? And why can’t I change it myself? :P

For certain people:

A little over half past three, when most co-workers have gone home, that’s usually when Ivana reflects on her life. “I used to be so carefree in my childhood.. Not a single worry”, she thinks. “Now look at me. Stuck in this drab office job, with no prospects of a better career.. My husband left me for a younger woman, leaving me to raise my drug addict of a daughter alone. She won’t even talk to me anymore.. I struggle to pay my mortgage and my bills. Why do I even go on? It would be so much easier to end it all..” Quarter to four.. That’s usually when the sobbing starts. And when the sobbing starts, that’s when the happy pills come out of her desk.. The question each day is, “does she only take one, or does she take the whole bottle?”

So.. By chance, I happen to find out this is out since yesterday. Downloading it as I speak, will report when I’ve played it.

We’re getting fibre.

[Obduction] Spiritual sequel to Myst. Artwork is looking good.

I missed the first one. Well, I say “missed”, but I wasn’t really interested in it, despite Jennifer Lawrence. But after seeing Silver linings playbook (which I’m definitely going to see again next month), and after seeing a bit of Winter’s bone on Netflix again after recommending it to my dad, I’m in the mood for more Jennifer Lawrence. And with marathons coming up next month.. I haven’t read all the posts in this thread, but how’s the film? Is or isn’t it too much targeted at teen girls like I imagined it was at the time? After seeing the trailer for the sequel, I suspect it isn’t too bad, although it won’t top Silver linings playbook. But I’m inclined to go for that marathon.

First 4 Figures seem to be teasing Vyse from Skies of Arcadia.

Works better in space.

I’ve never worked in retail, but I can be the demanding client. Few days ago, I had to pay € 30.22. I had enough cash with me, but I didn’t want the change, so I asked if I could pin the € 0.22. Not a problem at all, but the woman next to me had to laugh.. A very long time ago, I went into a recordstore. There was this guy behind the counter who I hadn’t seen before up to that point, and he hadn’t seen me. I was walking up to the counter, reaching for my bank card and the paper with the titles I wanted, in my inner pocket, and I ask: “hey, do you have <title>?”. Guy looks scared, and says: “.. I thought you were going to rob me for a second..”. So I ask in reply: “do I look that scary to you?”. I found it hilarious. Also a long time ago, got a call from a funeral insurance company. Can’t recall the exact conversation obviously, but it was something like: “Hello, is mr. <my dad> in?” “No, I’m his son.” “Ah, that’s good too, do you have any funeral insurance?” “I have absolutely no idea.” “Surely you should know?” “I have no idea, my dad takes car of such things.” “Aren’t you interested in a funeral insurance?” “Frankly, I don’t care.” “Ok. Goodbye.” So I annoyed the call center worker. These were genuine responses as well, I stayed polite and didn’t intend to annoy her.. But I felt good about it. These stories also remind me of [The trenches comic site], about testers in the game industry, it’s from the guys behind Penny-Arcade and PVP. I don’t care about the comic itself, but the stories underneath it are funny, though I don’t know how truthful they are. Also, I totally disagree with the age rating systems. Thankfully, I never had any real issues with it, but my kids can play and see everything they want if I ever get them. The parents should be there to guide them, but they still should be free to learn from their own experiences and mistakes.

His printer obviously isn’t equipped with e-ink cartridges.

With still 1 hour and 20 minutes to go, she’s definitely not cut out for a 9-to-5 job.

I like this thread. Most of the stuff I appreciate has already been mentioned though. I love the sound of rain in the morning, if I don’t have to get out. The sound of birds. Seeing animals, especially animals I don’t normally see / pay attention to. Since I’ve been doing a paper route for some time since I was unable to get a proper job, I’m seeing all kind of animals in the morning. Hedgehogs, all kinds of insects, even foxes (they shouldn’t even show up here). I don’t think it’s mentioned, but completely obvious: the smell of fresh bread. I also love the smell of.. burned wood (I guess?) in winter. I think it’s coming from fire places in some homes. Or the smell of Barbecue in summer, even if it isn’t ours. I guess I love the smell of burning! On the subject of burning, I actually love eating slightly burned things (not when it’s black obviously, just brown). This mainly applies to toast en rice. Ehm the cold coke is already mentioned, but I love that as well. When it’s absolutely hot, and when I grab the coke out of the freezer (I put the coke in the freezer if it’s not cold yet, because it’s obviously faster than using the fridge, but also because the fridge simply isn’t cold enough for me). But I don't just love it over my tongue, I love the feeling of the cold coke streaming through my body, until it reaches my stomach. I’ll think of more. Edit: The feeling of getting an haircut, even though I only do this once a year.

I need to get one myself some day. I love this looks like a normal hoodie, without screaming its merchandise from some videogame.

Is there soundcloud embedding? [super Mario Bros (RAC mix)] I love that one, but I quickly skimmed the rest, I’ll leave the links here for you to check out: [Nintendo vs Sega] [Nintendo vs Sega 2] (He also makes “normal remixes”, which is when I came across this).

Kotobukiya announced 2 new figures for their bishoujo line. Only artwork is available at this point, but at least that’s looking good. I’d be interested in Jubilee is she turns out well.

Tanooki Mario from First 4 Figures. Like most stuff from F4F, this doesn’t really excite me, that said, Mario doesn’t exactly require a complex sculpt.. Zelos painted I usually go for the ladies, but Zelos is sexy :p. And you can expect quality from the manufacturer.

Imagine the cook’s surprise after the steak sneezed back at him after adding the pepper.

Sex music: (Also the singer is absolutely hot)

Well, I’m not one to talk, as I flaked last game.. But there could have been more bad pictures if more people got in their entry in time. Anyway, next game, I’ll do mine in Paint, I promise. Edit: and with a mouse, as I have no tablet.

I dunno, good drawing have never been a problem before.
