Jack: Oh, shit! Those shirts! I WANT!
Good morning.
Sorry about my whining last night.
Sometimes work isn’t fun. I just had to mini-vent at the time.
Thank you for the hugs.
I’m a sort of walking, talking, mess of a human right now. I’m getting myself gathered though! I have high hopes that I’ll catch up with life soon!
Moved
to the work computer. Am now installing Mass Effect 2 on my home computer. Then must go on line and get my four special downloadable content items.
Morning Cj!
CJ, Vent away! I have done it before and even if no one reads or responds for a few hours it always made me feel better.
Be safe EssBee. Dont make no cowgirls sing the blues…
OMFG my life would be complete with that Event Horizon shirt. I must procur….
Jack: those shirts ROCK!!!
Bunny, Hello, Beautiful! :luv:
Thanks, reaper. I generally try to remain positive and know that I haven’t been as much of late, but I appreciate the support I receive here when I fall short of my own positivity requirements.
And um. Wow. How much I hated Event Horizon – I cannot put into words. Wait… yes I can. I demanded my money back… and got it.
And off I go to volunteer in my daughter’s classroom. School releases early today so I’ll get an extra hour with her before I go to work!
This brings me joy :lub: (why am I not getting my swoony face ..)
dangit
there it is. One for Bunny too
Cj: Hang in tough!
Safe travels, EssBee. Don’t forget your passport!!
:LOL:
ED WINS THE THREAD!
Happy Trails to you…
;)
I’m looking forward to seeing the Runaways movie.
http://www.spin.com/articles/joan-jett-stars-rock-runaways-party-sundance
Me too ditto. Ive always enjoyed the 70′s ladies riot rock. Its gonna be good. Like Dakota Fanning alot too. In a non creepy underage way.
The Runaways movie looks pretty cool, though I imagine I’ll see it as a rental. Not really the type of movie the Misses and I would go out to see. Ah Mass Effect. I loved the first one so much, but currently I’m waist deep in Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age and Fallout 3. Hopefully after I’ve made it through these three I can get a copy of ME2 for less than $50.
ME2 is being evil. It’s not letting me log into the network so I can’t use any of the extra content.
Did you really just say “the Misses”? Oh Rhett… Rhett Rhett Rhett… Have you learned nothing Ive taught you?
*shakes head*
CP: Blown Away – Shiny Toy Guns
Is that a remake of the Tom Selleck/Gene Simmons Runaway movie?
I’m not sure I wouldnt relish a remake of that movie. Re-starring Selleck and Simmons. Older, wiser, deadlier…. shazam.
M’ bitch?
See I knew you still retained the knowledge.
*sigh*
Well, am going to take my Boo for lunch. Then I guess I’ll just have to play ME2 without the added content. Saw nothing on the forums so I posted a request. No reply yet.
*sigh*
TEB: There have been reports about ME2 DC problems.

Vent all you want, Cj. We’ll make more.
I imagine ME2 will have a few growing pains this first month. I’m tempted to get the PC version and see how it looks on my 24″ LCD, but I have to be able to start my character from where I left off in ME1, so XBOX 360 version it is.
And I just need to say, it’s
to see a Rhett Deadpan reappearance.
Apparently, there’s a movie called Ink. Any feedback on it?
I watched Ink recently, Johnny Null.
It’s
-Really weird.
-Low-budget.
-Chock full of creative ideas and visuals.
-Painfully silly at times.
-Obviously inspired by Neil Gaiman’s Sandman comics.
I liked it, but I recommend with caution.
Hey thanks Jack, life’s done a bit of a pile on and I’ve been trying to get back to daylight. BTW, I’ve got something for you to take to your next EV@11 . :)
Somedays, I’m amazed I don’t have a fucking ulcer.
Agreed ditto. Tho in my case, replace “ulcer” with “liver failure”.
That’s the best kind of ulcer to have.
The liver is evil and must be punished!
Vack from lunch. Thanks for the link ditto, unfortunately, all the problems I’ve been hearing about ME2 aren’t the ones I’ve had. I haven’t had any reply to my forum post yet. May try to log on again in a bit. If it doesn’t work I’ll have to decide whether to play it without the DLC or wait a day and play Ego Draconis instead, with the hope something will come up tomorrow.
i guess I’m venting too.
ditto: if you have a f***ing ulcer, then I think you’re doing something wrong. Usually ulcers just sit there and give pain.
Jack: Thanks. That’s the vibe I got from the trailer. But it’s still got to be better than The Lost Highway!
Theres not much worse than Lost Highway. Even Patricia Arquette’s bouncing boobies in seemingly every scene cant save it.
Ego Draconis it is.
Dr. Lecter has a tasty liver recipe with fava beans and a nice chianti.
*slurping sounds*
Ah Ha! Someone answered my post. I guess my password was too complicated. i aways add symbols and numbers to my passwords. EA doesn’t like that. Letters only.
On to Mass Effect!
I feel a bit let down by Apple’s new Tablet.
http://toucharcade.com/2010/01/27/ipad-hands-on-first-impressions-rolling-in/
Van: I do too. It certainly is far less than I hoped for.
ditto, you hoped it would be less than $500?
Ah, the Ipad, would it have been cooler if it was pirate themed and they called it the Ipatch? Based on the early reports Apple have met my expectations which were pretty low to begin with. I’m not seeing much more than what Tablet PC’s already brought to the table.
Since it doesn’t support flash based content, it brings even less to the table.
I can’t believe how much press this thing is getting.
For the record:
The pirate patch joke you’ll (hopefully) hear eventually on Deadpan is not as funny as Rhett’s, but is also not a plagiarism.
I love you Rhett….
“ditto, you hoped it would be less than $500?”
BAZINGA
Definitely “meh” on the iPad. I think this one is going to be about as game changing as the Segwey.
I don’t see my wife giving up her Kindle for this.
Re: Rhettro’s “Runaways” link featuring Joan Jett – reminds me.
I once worked a Super Trooper at a Joan Jett concert in a collusieum.
Backstage afterwards, I rounded a corner in a hallway and there she was – all alone, leaning up against the wall. It was just she and I.
She was sweaty and looked like she wanted to lay down.
Me? I probably looked like a deer caught in the headlights.
She looked up and me with those dark, heavily eye-linered eyes … and I attempted to fill the awkward pause with as NOT fawning praise as I could manage for a “20 something”.
She ended up signing my crew pass and then suddenly, one of her handlers came and whisk her out of my life forever.
*sniff sniff* I had my chance to become Mr. Joan Jett and I blew it.
Well, … maybe if I HAD blown it …
… er, I mean.
Aaah never mind.
Don’t hate yourself for not loving her, J0e.
Hey Deadpan
I think I’m Mass Effected out. Now it’s just me and my Arrow.
Oh?
Have you reached Critical Mass effect?
Sad story, JOe!
Hi from Texas, gang! Ess from Tejas. For the night, at least.
Did I ever tell you guys my Linda Perry story? Wait, yes, I have.
:D
Darn, I saw “Runaways movie” and immediately thought of the Brian K. Vaughan comics
Exactly! I get pissed off everytime I hear “Runaways movie” and it isn’t the one that I want. Well, like a mini-pissed off. It only lasts an instant.
Do you think that Jobs hides in his office and shakes his fist at the sky when the same mewling fools that have poopooed tablets for fifteen years, including his own, suddenly decide that tablets are awesome if they come with a stupid name?
It’s gotta be frustrating when it isn’t the technology that is being adopted but the marketing.
TEB: Oblio?
