Luckily,my husband and I aren’t that old (1967 do the math), I just had my daughter when I was young. And, at the risk of sounding vane, I don’t look my age. I was at the office the other day, we had a young visitor who thought I was closer to his age (28), that felt nice.
As old as who I feel hmmm…. the next door neighbour is really cute…
May 29th, 2008 at 7:07 am
I wonder if my husband would approve?

So next week Lego Indiana Jones is released, according to IGN.com June 3rd in the US, June 6th in the UK.
From the previews looks like this one will be fun.

Ah but did the young vistor have a close look at the back of your hands TEB?
I will now go into hiding.

May 29th, 2008 at 7:25 am
Van, *ignoring vein comment* while I enjoyed Lego Star Wars I did have issues with the way it was ported over to the PC. I didn’t like the way you had to complete the level before you could save it. If I wanted a console, I would have bought a console version. I hope they change this feature in Indiana Jones
I did like the humour, in Lego Star Wars, though.
May 29th, 2008 at 7:32 am
My son is a big Lego Star Wars fan. He’s got 1 & 2 for the Game Cube. I pretty sure we’ll get Lego Indy, but I’m not sure for what platform, probably either Wii or 360.
May 29th, 2008 at 7:41 am
I generally am not a console gaming person. We (meaning my daughter) has a Wii and a PS3 but I much prefer playing on a PC
May 29th, 2008 at 7:57 am
Having no air conditioner in your car blows.
That is all.
May 29th, 2008 at 7:58 am
I used to feel the same way TEB, till I got a flat screen LCD TV for my Xbox 360. Playing games is much nicer when you can lounge on a comfy chair.
Any spanish inquisition jokes will get the evil eye.

NO ONE EXPECTS THE COMFY CHAIR!
That is all.
May 29th, 2008 at 8:00 am
I’ve had my PS3 for over a year now and apart from the games I bought when I got the console I’ve bought no boxed games for it.

Hopefully the rumoured 90 minute cut scene means 90 minutes in total for all cut scenes and not just one scene that last for 90 minutes (for MGS 4).
Waiting an hour and a half to actually to continue in the game would be taking the piss.
May 29th, 2008 at 8:09 am
You have bought the ticket and you will take the ride.
That is all.
May 29th, 2008 at 8:12 am
I couldn’t get into MGS games. I don’t do first person games as I get motion sickness. My husband likes them, though.
May 29th, 2008 at 8:22 am
Depends on the game. Someone made a good analogy on one of the computer game forums I’m on. He said if a video game is more like a movie, with a lot of visual action and simple controls, then it lent itself to being on a console with a large television. If the game was more like reading a good book, with deep thinking, such as strategy games, it was better on the PC. And that’s sort of how I do my game buying. I’ll never buy another racing game for my PC, there’s no way I’ll buy StarCraft 2 for any of my consoles.
May 29th, 2008 at 8:23 am
Due to a timing mishap, I won’t be able to watch “Southland Tales”. Suxors.
That is all.
May 29th, 2008 at 8:30 am
we saw half of southland tales. I will probably watch the second half this weekend - without my husband, I can’t convince him to finish it.
May 29th, 2008 at 8:35 am
I think I’m going to rent it from Amazon Unbox. There’s no way I’ll get it from Netflix in time. Not sure if I want to torture my wife with it or not. We both loved Donnie Darko, but if the movie touches on string theory, I doubt she’ll like it. LOL
May 29th, 2008 at 8:35 am
Strategy games don’t usually need a monster of a PC to run smoothly though.
May 29th, 2008 at 8:37 am
I’m watching ST over the weekend, I left it till the last minute in case I wanted to record a comment.
May 29th, 2008 at 8:39 am
I only play console games anymore because it is cheaper in the long run.
That is all.
May 29th, 2008 at 8:41 am
Sorry about the “No Southland tales for you!” ditto.
Rhett - make sure you brief your wife before viewing, although this is not meant to be taken as a drama. As it is in a contemporary setting and there is no laugh track … many mistake it as a “normal” movie. It aint!
RE: Amazon Unbox - this is the route I went (unbox to Tivo) and was quite pleased with the quality, can’t see driving to the video store ever again.

ANyone planning to participate in SLandapalooza should send Jack a little e-mail saying so. I don’t know how much time he spends pre-planning his show but having a general idea of how much content to expect would surely help him out.

FYI, Southland Tales features a high-tech form of energy production and distribution whose on-screen description kind of implies that it might be based on string theory. That part only lasted about a minute, though.
May 29th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
Plotonium, anyone?
May 29th, 2008 at 3:34 pm
Amy, actually Quantum Entanglement is a very real branch of quantum physics, primarily in the area of teleportation research. (I’m not shitting you, they can transport photons… thats about it so far)
String theory has to do with the missing mathematical gap between quantum physics and relativity and astrophysics.
I met a person that inspired a song, but I’m struggling with it because I’ve never written one before. That and I dunno if you could say I were yet capable of playing music on my guitar… I can show you A, D, E, Em, Dm, F, C… And maybe a couple others…
May 29th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
I would say, if you want to write a song, write it. Someday, I would like to write a song as well, but I want a stronger grasp of music theory first. I did find this link that you may find either very helpful or very flusterating.

BERLIN - A young man’s creative marriage proposal apparently triggered several UFO reports in a small town in Germany.
Bavarian police say several people called this week to alert them of strange lights floating above the sleepy town of Plattling.
It turns out the lights were 50 paper lanterns sent aloft by a 29-year-old man proposing marriage to his girlfriend.
Neither the man or the 27 year old woman were identified. However, police report that the woman did say “Yes”.

Skowhegan, Main - If you’re in the market for a roomy brick - and - stone Victorian - complete with some pretty impressive security features - look no further.
The Somerset County Jail in downtown Skowhegan is for sale.
The price: US $200,000 with no extra charge for the razor-wire fencing.
the lockup, built in 1897, is scheduled to shut down later this year when a new 200-bed county jail opens.
Tonya Allen, a real estate broker, says a major feature is the building is situated int eh heart of downtown and has no zoning or permit-use restrictions.

Hey Gil,
Dungeon Siege 2 and it’s expansion came in the mail the other day. Got it for $17.50 and I also picked up Painkiller and it’s expansion for $4.50. I installed DS2 and patched it to version 2.2. It looks beatiful, my only complaint is that the text doesn’t scale so playing at high resolution makes me have to squint to read. Diablo 2, while graphically inferior, is a much smoother game experience. I’ll have to install Painkiller tonight.

Okay Rhetrro you’ve convinced me to break the shrink wrap on my copy of Diablo 2.
May 30th, 2008 at 9:33 am
Cool Van.
Do you have the Lord of Destruction expansion for it? If so, go ahead and install it as well as it ups the resolution from 640×480 to 800×600 as well as a few game play upgrades.

Did you listen to the Escapist’s review of Painkiller Rhettro?
May 30th, 2008 at 9:55 am
“It’s got a gun that shots shuriken and lightning!”
Yep. LOL
But beyond that I did play both demoes when they came out and I like them, just didn’t feel like spending $50 at the time. But for $4.50 you can really go wrong.
May 30th, 2008 at 10:02 am

That was a great review.

The Gold Edition of Painkiller (which includes the expansion pack) is available on Steam for 10 bucks…if you can’t find it in the bargain basement.
May 30th, 2008 at 10:30 am
This was the version I got: http://tinyurl.com/54k7fh
Although it was $4.50 on sale and in stock. LOL Shipping was $4.95 though so I was closer to $10 out of pocket. The game doesn’t need a manual so the Steam route is a good one.

“Would you come and share
My cross, my pain, my heartbroken nature
For this burden is too heavy to bear
Too troublesome for one man to handle
Since my darkness swallowed
The last gleam of light
I’ve been rambling in the shadows
Hour after hour in the dark
They who never got sorrow,
Grinding grief in their hearts
Never lost a thing,
Never had a thing
They who never witnessed beauty,
That flamed even the all-encompassing night
Never lost a thing,
Never had a thing
Now these bitter tears run ceaseless,
And drown my hope far too deep
It must’ve been the day we parted
When I trapped this sadness in me
Since my darkness swallowed
The last gleam of light
I’ve been clothed in mourning,
Wearing sorrow day and night”

If you guys aren’t listening to WNDRwolf’s show, you’re definitely missing out. The last couple of episodes have been podcast author interviews and they have been good.
And, on that topic, some other recommendations:
WNDR’s most recent interview was with Trucker Overdrive aka Jack Jaffee. I started listening to 12 volt theater and I’m about halfway caught up. Jaffee is a sick, twisted mind, but still a compelling listen. Definitely something different.
The one before that was with Phillipa “Pip” Ballentine and her new podiobook “Chasing the Bard”. I started listening to that after hearing her voice work on Tee Morris’ “Moravi Remastered”. Bard is an alternative history/fantasy about Shakespeare’s life and it’s relation to supernatural beings from another place called the Fey. That story is currently running and about 11 episodes along.
As I posted to WNDRwolf, I listen to a lot of podcasts and I don’t go searching for new ones on Podcast Alley or Itunes anymore. The way I pick up new ones is via interesting promos or friends recommendations. And, quite frankly, I give priority to podcasters who are part of the Deadpan community when I look for new shows. No promise that I’ll stay if it’s not my cup of tea, but I will make an effort to check their shows out.
Dubshack has also proven entertaining with the Farpoint Recap. Though, listen to episode 8 at the risk of your own sanity. Dubshack barely escaped with his life after I listened to it.

So we were at Target looking for the plastic sandboxes that look like a turtle. We wandered past the electronics department and there just happened to be 3 Wiis in stock. We’ve had Target Giftcards stockpiled for just such an event, so we bought one, plus the 9 extra games/i more controller pack.
We do plan to have a covered sandbox of some sort, Ed, but the foxes, posssible coyotes as well as large owls and eagles in the vicinity mean that our neighbors leave the cats in “non-roaming” mode. We’ve even seen a few tracks which look like they are probably bobcat. (Large toepads, no claw points)
May 31st, 2008 at 12:20 pm
I second Ed’s recommandation of WNDR radio. Haven’t made it to 12volt or Moravi yet but have every intention to do so.

“Poking at the dragon.”
So this was fun. I just got a call from a campaign worker for a woman running on the Republican ticket for congress. Me? I’m an independent but this woman is almost a cliche’ of EVERYTHING the democrats accuse Republicans of being. All her campaign stuff screams of horror and danger and gives no indication of what she would do about any of this other then “fight for you in Washington”. Great.
Even her smear ads against other Republicans or so stereotyped as to be funny to the trained observer (Lot’s of newspaper clippings with the words “scandal” and “lobbyist” and such highlighted and then the article on the top of the pile is about her opponent.
IT has nothing to do with scandal but at a glance you’d think this guy was involved in lots of scandal. Then you look close at the other articles and see they have nothing to do with this guy. Nice.
Of course, running from the faaaaaar right - this woman is all about telling you what YOUR family values are and how she wants to go to Washington to enforce them on you.
So when I get this call a few minutes ago, I just couldn’t resist trying to “Out far right” the “Far right politician.”
I let the young female campaign worker go through her song and dance and when she gets to the end and starts talking about protecting my TRADITIONAL family values I spoke up -
Me “Traditional Family Values?”
her “Yes, she will fight for them.”
Me “If she truly believes in traditional family values … then why isn’t she at home raising a family instead of running of to Washington to play with the politicians?”
Her “(pause)(stammer) Well, I guess that’s what she’s into.”
Me (trying not to laugh) “What she’s INTO! When did THAT become a traditional family value! Good day to you mam.)
*click*
I really wanted to lay it on thick and heavy, try to sound like Thurston Howl and make some mention about “Running around having cocktails and wearing pants-suits”! but I’m not very good at torturing random strangers for a joke.
Still … hehehe “I guess that’s what she’s into.” hehehehe
May 31st, 2008 at 1:50 pm
(Disclaimer)
For those new here at the Deadpan Bar … I have no problems with a woman running for a political office.
I do have issues with those who wish to tell me what MY family values are.

Didn’t write my SLandapolooza report. I’m a bad man. I also slept through half the race.
A real snoozer.
Went to see Indy4 tonight.
It was okay. IMHO though, It lost all it’s steam before the ending.
Also, I’m willing to suspend my disbelief about a lot of things if you’ll keep things moving along, keep me distracted. If you give me time to sit around and think about how improbable that last scene was though … you loose me.
All in all, about on par with National Treasure. Not as fun or good as Iron Man.
I’d rate it a “Matinee” film. - Not worth seeing at full price but the action scenes are probably better scene on the big screen instead of dvd.

They probably won’t pull the movie off for fans of the graphic novel, but that maybe irrelevant to people who have never read the GN.

JackJaffe: Yes I am the same way.
Thanks JustaJoe for the Movie Review.
The start of another week Bleh

Morning, Pan!
Travel safe, ditto.
I agree with your take on Indy, JOe. I’m glad I saw the first show and didn’t pay full-price for the ticket. I liked it okay. Iron Man was so much better.

Morning Pan!
A wet and gloomy day here in Calgary.

Van, I played that game! It was fun.

I just caught JustaJoe’s post about the Republican call and about shot my breakfast bar out my nose.
For those of you who didn’t manage to get in submissions, I’m not gonna say don’t worry, but I managed to get mine in at the expense of getting my own podcast out… It was only a partial analysis but it clocked in at half an hour.
Somehow I suspect I’m going to get labeled “The Guy that Killed the Palooza.” Which I guess if that becomes my AKA name, that might be all right.

Well there is always the next film.

The weekend went off just as I predicted it would with 80% of my time on home mantenance.
1. Installed hook in ceiling to hang light fixture. Check.
2. Mopped all tile floors, cleaned all grout in tile floors, reseal all grout in tile floors. Check
3. Cut up pile of dead tree limbs with chainsaw. Put said limbs into trash bags. Check.
4. Watch Southland Tales. Uncheck.
Still in the throws of the massive house cleaning prior to my folks visit next week. I’ll try and give Southland Tales a view tonight or tomorrow and possibly a few words as well. I did manage to finally watch the Cloverfield DVD that we had lying around. I liked it fine. I would rate it about the same as The Mist. Cloverfield slightly missed it’s hype level as where The Mist slightly exceeded it’s hype.

“Can I play with madness?”
Okay, back to work. L8r Pan.

Rhettro, I agree with you about Cloverfield. I thought it was okay, and that the monster was cool. The acting was B.A.D., though.
June 2nd, 2008 at 8:20 am
So that’s Jeremy and Ditto going on travel. EssBee just got back … anyone else?
June 2nd, 2008 at 8:21 am
Well you can certainly listen to Madness:
