HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

No one is going to get my costume but other nerds like us.

The ballad of Shane Morris

You went far too young
sweet Shane
Your voice still in our ears
sweet Shane
We will never forget your laughter
sweet Shane
The smoke from your bongs
sweet Shane

Your memory will live on
in every taco
in every redwood

Ahem

"Gearbox’s Steve Gibson made an official announcement to Destructoid and stated that Borderlands would be released for download on Steam. Gibson also mentioned that the desktop release would include several features that will definitely not be seen on home console versions. Weapons can be exported via item cards in .jpg format, so if players collect a weapon of mass awesomeness that no one in their circle of friends has, they’ll be able to share it with them. In addition to that interesting feature, Borderlands for the PC will come with special menu and inventory systems designed exclusively around the mouse input option. Another little extra is the addition of timedemo benchmark software, which is exclusive to the PC. Last, but certainly not least, if played on a high-end system, the PC version of Borderlands will show off the most impressive graphics of all three versions of the game"

The Cold War

The Cold War was an intense stand-off between the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic after 3,653 BBY, lasting until 3,623 BBY. The Treaty of Coruscant ended the Great Galactic War, sealing the Sith Empire's victory. Peace was brought, but tensions between the Sith and the Republic remained high. In the thirty years after the War, fear and uncertainty gripped the galaxy. Border skirmishes and proxy wars between the Sith and Republic erupted and the uneasy truce between the two foes appeared to be on the verge of collapse.

It is in this "Cold War", as described by the game's creators, that the MMO The Old Republic is set, in the years after the Great Galactic War.

hi guys

hi

(pic goes to link)

Now this I don't understand.

So I get this email from Newegg today, because I purchased Windows 7 64bit. I guess they recommend accessories now with purchases. But how the fuck is a copy of Windows 7 32bit an accessory? My head just exploded.

You're On Your Way To: Borderlands

Preload. Now.

I started playing Machinarium last night

I started playing Machinarium last night and I had to stop and catch myself. I almost played for two hours and I didn't even realize it. The puzzles are really cute, just like the characters. You really have to think outside of the box to get each set done. There is a little light bulb at the top that will give you one visual clue. Or you can play a little mini-arcade game to get a play-by-play, visual walk-through. Pretty creative actually. You have to pay attention to almost everything in each screen. Even then...sometimes you have to go back five screens and pick up something you didn't even notice the first time through.

You should try it. It's basically just a big Flash game, so it was easy for them to put a demo up. You can play the game demo.

If you buy the game, here's an early hint: 5:45.

Finally.

You all knew this post was coming.

Machinarium Soundtrack

I downloaded it, then I reuploaded it for you. It is very good. I want you to hear it.

The bonking of the father...

I was repeatedly bonked by dold(er)3r last night and I woke up with a headache this morning. It's science. Also, have you looked at Machinarium?
Do it here.

Borderlands 4-pack

I don't know if any of you guys are interested, but did you see the Borderlands 4-pack pre-order? It breaks down to about $34 a copy if you get it that way. If three of you are interested, I could buy the 4-pack and you can PayPal me the $33 to $34. Just an idea...

Also...I love Dan's medical school.

L4D2 stuff

RPS has some news on L4D2:

DO IT RIGHT HERE (click it)

It is "scavenger mode." From the description it seems okay, but nothing special. Kind of like survivor mixed with versus. There is also a video in that post.

Black Shock

This is my champion Black Shock. He is half robot and shoots lightning everywhere. It makes a lot of sense.

Good Morning Son

Hank Abuzarieh

This is my champion Hank Abuzarieh. He has a robot hand and can fly. He also has a bunch of laser guns and robot gadgets to help him out in a bind.

Darth Zannah

When the Dark Lords of Kaan's Brotherhood of Darkness unleashed a planet wide Force storm during the Sixth Battle of Ruusan, Rain survived by instinctively enveloping herself and Laa with a bubble with the Force. Unfortunately, when she watched Laa being killed haplessly by Jedi scouts, she was so stricken with anger that she killed them, unwittingly giving in to the dark side to do so. Rain's display of rage attracted the attention of the war's only surviving Dark Lord, Darth Bane, who decided to take the young girl as the first and only apprentice in his fledgling Order of the Sith Lords. Rain cast away the handle of her youth, and became Darth Zannah.

No Good Spies

We don't have any skilled spies.

We don't have any because we are good people.

Good people don't become spies.

Could a good Taco be tempted by the Cancerous Evil Incarnate?

I hate spies

Can I get a spy-check please???
