The Bard

I think I'm fine with being "disrespectful" towards a fantasy franchise. Most of the art has been fairly standard to the point where the concept versions are undoubtedly not going to be much more than air brushed, bloomed out fantasy art images that wouldn't look out of place in a Tolkien compendium. I would probably pay money for a Wind Waker art book though. Zelda is so passe though. It's been the same shit for years, and no - motion plus really doesn't make any difference to the fact that the games are pretty much structurally indifferentiable.

I truly cannot believe people give a shit about this retarded crap. The Zelda "story" is like a dog turd that over the ages has been wind worn to a fine crust and embossed the pavement, evoking a nod of disgust from the sane and rabid fandom from the clinically impaired.

If you're happy and you know it fap your glans! Fap Fap!

I'd definitely go for number 2. Just the travelling time alone is going to be a deterrent to visiting the first place, whereas you won't feel it's much of a hassle to stroll into the second whenever the mood takes you, thereby actually justifying the asking price.

I've never had a high as clean and as euphoric as one coming off a triumphant cardio workout. I do tend to get bored easily, but pushing yourself is more than worth it for the results. God's drugs. By damn he makes you work hard for 'em.

Lol. Why is it always the self proclaimed "nice guys" that always seem to complain about being "friend zoned?" As if being nice to a girl dictates that the relationship should by rights go in a sexual direction. Being "nice" is such a bland, uninteresting trait anyway, why would you claim that to be what defines your character, unless of course, you're using it as a crutch to explain away your supposedly paradoxical lack of success with women? Maybe it's because I've never really had much trouble with women that I don't see the allure of this particular argument, but perhaps stop moaning about it? No girl is ever going to be attracted to a guy who claims to be persistently hard done by.

If Company of Heroes 2 is cancelled I will kill everything. All of the things.

I wrote summat for the site. It's alright.

I'm sorry I missed the Wii off at your place. In recompense I'll come over to your place of work this week and whisper sweet nothings in your ear while you drudge away your day on Excel.

Got far too drunk and made out with a girl that I've had the worlds biggest crush on for years, and we somehow ended up sleeping in the same bed, although we didn't actually do anything. I asked her out, to which she said no, probably because she thought I was just taking advantage of her being drunk. Funnily, I posted about the same thing happening with this same girl about 4 years ago, and it was just as crushing then. But being the drunk, depressed fuck up that I am these days, I went ahead and argued with her about it for a while, and I'm pretty sure the entire house heard the conversation. Spend all yesterday with the worst hangover of my life, eating valium and knowing I've probably not only made an omnishambles of things with that girl forever, but I've probably lost a few friends over the incident too. Woe is me.

Just watched Midnight in Paris. The first Woody Allen film I've truly loved.

I got Sky broadband, which even though it's a tad slow, has no usage cap. I'm fairly sure I've gotten through more than 500gb this month. What's the deal in Australia? Isn't there some service you can change to without a usage cap?

I think I might need a job before I can start paying off my student loan, most of which I spent on musical equipment anyway. I'm pretty much happy to spend the next 25 years unemployed.

Titties. Titties to all the above.

Yeah, I've gotten used to not playing anything under 60fps. I'm running a 7870 so maybe it'll bump it up into that range.

Hmm, I am stroking my chin in contemplation. Have you played the PC version yet? I'm hearing that it runs a little choppy.

I could get it on disc, but my house is already cluttered to the brim with physical media. I don't feel a real urgency to play it either, being super busy with X Com and Borderlands. I'll just wait it out.

No idea how to jigger this proxy doohickey. Think I'm going to have to wait for a couple of months. Apparently it's not on Steam yet because of some weird PC exclusivity deal Ubisoft have with a high street retailer. Laaame.

What's the deal with this not being on Steam yet?

Gangnam Style is the aural equivalent of the residue of fecal matter and baby batter that builds up after butt fucking, and you're arguing that the cover doesn't do it justice. Good job, dude. Have to throw my hat in with the Burke. A butchering.

Hey, anyone still playing this on PC? Finally got a copy last night in the sale. Anyone want to get a questing posse together and go trash talk over voip while killing and looting?

I have gotten to the point of unresolved desperation and unspent desire that I often stop at the side of the road to do a Method Man esque double take and yell "Daaaaymn!" at the unsuspecting booties of various nightwalkers that be out creepin'. Triflin'. Dirtfoots. Diiiirty foots.

Oh titties, I was going to ask for Braid

I also live alone, and I can confirm that exact feeling of mental and physical torpor that overcomes you as soon as you reach home and realise that there's going to be nothing exciting or stimulating waiting for you through that door. I've considered forming a cocaine habit. What you really need though, is discipline. You need to make sure you see another human face every day, make sure you can converse with someone, because the worst part of living alone is being stranded with your own hyperactive brain, and not having access to a yardstick or a mental benchmark against which to measure the accuracy of your thoughts and feelings . It'll start to drive you crazy. The anxiety of having to maintain a home by yourself is stressful enough in itself. I was working for three weeks where I didn't have the opportunity, nor the motivation to clean my place. You'd be surprised how filthy a place gets in that space of time. I might start hiring a maid. And a hooker. If only there was someone who performed the function of both... A wife! These are all problems for me though, because I have no discipline to speak of.

Think I may aswell ask one last time, seeing as the sequel will be arriving shortly: Anyone feel like getting online with me to play some Company of Heroes matches? Anyone even remotely interested in RTS should check it out; it's to my mind the best RTS ever made, and I'm really getting an itch to get into it again.
