OTFPOTD: October 6th Early Edition (Now in wintergreen flavor)

Tiny by BrianL on

It's about midnight, and it's a raining outside. High winds expected again in the Everett area today.

Why am I up so late? I've got to DJ a dance this week and one of my old 1/8" to XLR cables has gone bad and I'm too cheap to buy a new one. In other words, I'm cannibalizing some old cables and soldering them together.

Anyhoo, interesting links of the day:

New Nintendo DS will have a camera built into it, so you might want to wait a little while before buying one PositivePaul.

Deus Ex 3 details emerging. I loved the first Deus Ex and liked the second one. I can't wait for a third one.

Adam Savage gets drunk then runs on a treadmill. Captured in high-speed for your enjoyment.

Next Knights of the Old Republic game to be a MMORPG fuck you Bioware.

Remember DooM? Boy this takes me back.

So does this one.

Potential discussion topics

  • Bill Murray is interested in Ghostbusters 3. Would you watch it?
  • Best root beer: Thomas Kemper. Y/N?
  • Do you enjoy thunderstorms?
  • Has anyone read The Name of the Wind? 

Last week we discussed a lot of Top 11 lists. Here's my Top 11 Favorite Video Games of All Time. Your list/thoughts?

  1. Chrono Trigger
  2. Super Mario World
  3. DooM
  4. Half-Life 2
  5. Deus Ex
  6. System Shock 2
  7. Dreamfall: The Longest Journey
  8. The Dig
  9. Final Fantasy VI (III in Japan)
  10. Mass Effect
  11. Xenosaga

I'm off to play Doctor Frankenstein with these audio cables again.

Midnight is late?

I'm around.

And then – Like a flash – I’m gone. Whoosh.

...and now I'm here

You know,

I wanted to make a list, but I’m just too damn lazy to come up with 11 different locations on where I’d rather be.

by brayden04 on Oct 6, 2008 6:50 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Haha true.

But every place has it’s ups and downs. For instance. No sour cream here. I am dying to make some damn guacamole. And yet, without sour cream I am helpless. Most unfortunate.

by brayden04 on Oct 6, 2008 7:11 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

That would be a great idea.

But I don’t think there are any bases close to Osaka or Kyoto. Or, at least, I haven’t seen very many white/black people that would indicate off-duty military people.

by brayden04 on Oct 6, 2008 7:13 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Agreed.

I need to play for Okinawa.

by brayden04 on Oct 6, 2008 7:15 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Tokyo

would probably be cool to live in. But I’d get tired of all the people after awhile. Although I personally haven’t been there, I’ve only heard great thigns about the girls on Okinawa. All the Japanese people are jealous of girls from there.

by brayden04 on Oct 6, 2008 7:18 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I never went to Okinawa

and only spent a week in Tokyo last summer so my experience is obviously quite limited.

by coolguyrob on Oct 6, 2008 7:20 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

The way I make it it does.

I can’t make it without it. Well, not as well as I can make it with it. And I just can’t stand shitty guacamole.

They celebrate Halloween in Zagreb?

Or are you just having a bunch of Americans over?

by brayden04 on Oct 6, 2008 7:19 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I'm bringing Halloween to Zagreb

I’m inviting a bunch of Americans from the Embassy as well as all of my Croatian friends.

by coolguyrob on Oct 6, 2008 7:20 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Nice.

Halloween is a great holiday only because it gives girls an excuse to dress…..hot.

by brayden04 on Oct 6, 2008 7:21 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Two things

At least I’m honest.

And

I don’t make them dress like that. I just enjoy the views. Is this so bad?

by brayden04 on Oct 6, 2008 7:24 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Mean Girls.
"Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it.
