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.
“So understand,
don’t waste your time always
searching for those wasted years.
Face up… make your stand,
and realise youre living in the golden years.”
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. :)
“I screamed aloud to the old man
I said dont lie dont say you dont know
I say you pay for your mischief
In this world or the next
Oh and then he fixed me with a freezing glance
And the hellfires raged in his eyes
He said do you wanna know the truth son
Ill tell you the truth
Your souls gonna burn in a lake of fire”
“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.
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.
“Oh he was locked inside a room without a door
His innocence he suffered for
In a world of black and white, they were wrong and he was right
Just looking for a clue, it’s a nightmare come true
He’s going underground to track that danger down
Oh Billy, hey why you got that gun? “
They are a great group of guys, JOe, only a couple are even slightly creepy, but that doesn’t last in our club. The rest are just fun. Most you wouldn’t really be able to tell they were gay unless you were paying attention.
I will contribute something for slandapalooza. After that experience, I’ve earned it. Just not quite sure what to say that would be clean enough for a Deadpan episode :)
So Big D, Derek not Diablo, has returned! Cool. 18th of June, so not much longer. We will all have to get online for some Diablo 2 action soon after that. :)
DAMN YOU STUDIO FOGLIO !!!
*shakes tiny fist at sky*
since Cheyenne Wright brought Girl Genius to our attention the other day, I find that I am spending an inappropriate amount of time reading this on-line comic. Time that I SHOULD be using to do things like my SLandapolooza submission.
Wait … maybe it’s really Cheyenne’s fault!
YOU!!!!!! *shakes tiny fists in air again and looses all ability to form coherent thoughts*
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)
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
(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.
(/Disclaimer)
I think that the world would be a lot better off if who ever the US President was (be that male or female) they got laid on a regular basis! I think there needs to be a law.
Now … of off to trim the hedges (NO, that isn’t a euphamism! I just wish it was.)

thanks Ed. I am in Laredo, TX as i send this out. That made my day.
Jeremy – for some reason the image that popped into my head was the Peanuts cartoon where Charlie Brown is playing baseball, throws a pitch, and the ball comes screaming back by him, flipping him in the air and knocking his shoes and socks off.
Was one of the people standing around you a really sarcastic girl with dark hair who made smarmy comments about you being a block head?
Was there a Beagle and another player that always seems to have a security blanker with him?
Good Grief!

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.
:D
So not much happening then?

I have a question for you, Van.
The series Wire in the Blood – do you know what that title means? I don’t get it.
Not sure it means anything as such, it’s a quote from a TS Eliot poem.
Which the wiki entry claims was the title of a book th series was based on:

Aha! Eliot . . .
I wondered if maybe it was a British idiom that I wasn’t following.

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.
“So understand,
don’t waste your time always
searching for those wasted years.
Face up… make your stand,
and realise youre living in the golden years.”
What an awesome concert. \m/ !!!!
Okay Rhetrro you’ve convinced me to break the shrink wrap on my copy of Diablo 2.
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?
“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.
Bargain Bin madness. LOL
That was a great review.
That seems to be the way I’ve been buying most of my games for my PC lately.
Yes it was a good review, many times his reviews are better than the games themselves. LOL
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.
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.
JFS – I am very afraid of your Rugby players … on sooooo many levels.

What are you guys doing this weekend?
Buy more crackers! We all need more crackers in the world!
1. Cleaning house, my folks are coming to visit in a couple of weeks and I need to clean up that landfill in the kids’ rooms.
2. Out side I have a ton of tree limbs than need to be cut and bagged.
3. Lots of laundry, probably start that tonight.
4. And if I can get all that done there’s some carpets that need to be steam cleaned.
5. Hopefully there will be sometime left over for swimming, guitar playing, computer game playing and participating in the Dwaynapolosa.
Currently playing: Maladjusted — Morrissey
This weekend? Some housework, groceries, getting ready for a business trip, and going to a wine & cheese party on Sunday.
And, of course… BEER!
Talk to geesquared, ditto, he has crackers to go w/ the cheese.
Rhettro, you should really calm down and not be so wild.
1. Power wash the deck.
2. Re-stain deck.
3. Complete gravel path from deck to backside of garage.
4. Oil change for the Jeep.
5. Fire up the Camaro and give it a car wash.
6. Pour some concrete on the cracked garage slab.
7. Miscellany duties that the wife has on the list.
So they keep telling me. ;)
Cheeeeese!!!!
Wine!!!!
Beer!!!!
And CRACKERS!!!!
Buy more Crackers!!!!
“I’m just crackers about cheese.”
There’s a thought there to be developed………………
Cheese and wine are pleasant nouns, but kind of unpleasant verbs…….
hmmmmmmm *rubs goatee*
Wensleydale?
Unpleasant unless someone shouts, “Cheese!”
Then everyone smiles.
Goatees are fine just don’t rub the goa… eh, nevermind.
Would spooge be the reverse?
Pleasant verb, unpleasant noun.
Why would your rub the goat?
Goats are for throwing, not rubbing.
Now why haven’t I heard about this before?
http://tinyurl.com/2v3woh
LOL
You are behind the times, Rhettro! ;)
I guess I need to retract my statement about it being an unpleasant noun.
You guys are too funny.
See, I knew something was missing.
So what are your weekend plans EssBee? Doing anything fun?
Well no wonder! I guess that’ll be an article to pass along then. LOL
Have a great weekend Deadpanners!
Have a good weekend Gil. When is Patman suppose to be back in the States?
My mother is coming to visit, so we’re going to go crazy. Indy IV in the morning, flower shopping in the afternoon.
Tonight: whatever mom wants for dinner and 3:10 to Yuma on DVD. And beer.
Patman returns on the 18th of June.
*knocking on wood*
Derek is back today so half of the team has returned. Have fun cleaning Rhettro!
Awesome! You’ll have to fill us in on your thought of Indy 4.
Later, gee!
That’s a nice combo…mum, dinner, 3:10 to Yuma and a beer!
Hrm…
Mum over for dinner…
3:10 to Yuma
and a beer.
Works pretty well to the tune of “10 Days oh Xmas”.
C’ya EssBee! :)
So Big D, Derek not Diablo, has returned! Cool. 18th of June, so not much longer. We will all have to get online for some Diablo 2 action soon after that. :)
Oh my gawd a Wallace and Gromit reference.
W&G saved the makes of Wensleydale cheese.
makers even
As for the weekend, I’m not working so will be taking it easy.
Watching Southland Tales will happen at some point.
As a Yank, I can’t say I’ve ever tried Wensleydale, but because of W&G, I want to. :)
“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”
*headcheese*
First Drink of the Day!
…is a Jackman’s American Pale Ale from Left Hand Brewing in Longmont, CO
Boulevard Double-Wide IPA
Yum
Funny, I thought “Wensleydale” was a Monty Python reference. It is a cheese shop after all.
I followed it with a local brew- Schell’s Dark
Ed, Wensleydale kept reminding me of Dinnnnnnsdale from Monty Python.
Ya know – I spotted an IPA called Jackamo. No shit. If only I liked IPAs.
Weird.
I thought “Wensleydale” was what someone was calling Jack when he was in his goatee stroking, thoughtful mode.
I pictured him also with a pipe and a Jacket with some sort of insignia on it.
… and I’m off.
Night mush.

I second Ed’s recommandation of WNDR radio. Haven’t made it to 12volt or Moravi yet but have every intention to do so.
So tonight I saw the new De Palma movie ‘RedActed’.
Harrowing in places (especially the rape scene), but an interesting experience.
I see from the wiki entry it’s got the right wingers gunning for the director.
“Poking at the dragon.”
