The Sequel is Out There…

Posted in Movies/TV, Books on March 28, 2008 by Dream

I just stumbled upon this in the last few minutes…I didn’t even know they WERE making a sequel

I really hope it doesn’t suck. The first movie was good, but not nearly as good as the show. When the show was good, it was fantastic. Even when it wasn’t that good, it was still fun.

Tangled Up in Black

Posted in Clanky Bits of Loose Change with tags on March 26, 2008 by Dream

We hate tangled phone cords. I don’t know how someone can use a desk phone with the handset cord tangled up into a little ball of goo, but it makes me crazy. I’ve waged a one-man war against this and my clients typically come back to their desks to find their phone cords untangled whenever I set at their desks…although I’ve yet to hear anyone complain (”Tangle my cord back up, damn you!!”)As proof, here is today’s vanquished tangle, before:

And after:

Begone, foul tangled cords! You’re no match for us!(P.s., this was posted with MarsEdit - a test post. Pretty neat.)

Marksman Redux

Posted in Gaming on March 23, 2008 by Dream

One of our favorite pastimes is a kick-ass MMO called Hellgate: London, a futuristic, Diablo-like game with great graphics and lots of neat bad guys.  I’ve been playing a character called a “Marksman”, who is basically a guy with a big gun (insert phallic joke here), but late last week the folks at Flagship Studios decided to roll out a new patch making my character a sissy.  They changed the skill tree to sort of spread out the Marksman’s skills such that it’s very hard to concentrate your abilities in one place, and simply decreased the effectiveness of…well, nearly everything.  Pricks. Regardless of this, using some clever strategy (e.g., running away a lot) and lots of firepower, and even more stubbornness, we killed one of the “big bad guys” in the game last night, a huge creature called “Moloch”: 

Moloch
Today, perhaps, we take on the other big bad guy, apparently called The Dessicrator.  Where do they come up with this shit?  Anyway, boo on Flagship for making my guy a milkmaid, but the game is still fun.  Bye Moloch–R.I.P. (rest in pieces…) 

Buffy Cast Reunion! *dances*

Posted in Movies/TV, Books, Whedonverse with tags , , , on March 22, 2008 by Death

Sarah Michelle, Seth Green, Nicholas Brendon & Michelle Trachtenberg.
Since joining Flickr this morning, I did a search and found a couple of Flickr groups related to buffy (”Buffy” and “WHEDONnesque”). A quick peek at WHEDONesque and I learn of a recent Buffy cast reunion at the Paley Center for Media in Los Angeles. It was this past Thursday so the news stories are fresh out there. Apparently before the reunion there was a screening of the fabulous musical episode “Once More, With Feeling” and mention of Joss’ new internet-only musical, “Doctor Horrible’s Sing-along Blog.” Now THAT I have to see. I read a few articles on the event, and saw some funny & interesting cast interviews. Among those filmed were Sarah Michelle, Seth Green, Nicholas Brendon (who was acting like a moron), Charisma Carpenter *mews*, Amber Benson *purrs*, Emma Caulfield, and Michelle Trachtenberg. God, I miss this show. Maybe we will have a reason to read the Season 8 comics afterall. Sounds like some interesting developments…

TV Guide had a good article on the reunion, as did iF magazine. The Paley Center posted one video clip of the reunion, and TV Guide has several cast interviews. Someone please stake Nicholas Brandon. He’s either the most obnoxious person on the face of the earth, or doing hardcore drugs. He dresses like bum, too! I bet his mother was mortified.

Slush-o? Doh, I mean Squishee!

Squishee!This is probably old news to you, Sir, but I found this article and slideshow hilarious. When can we go?? *bounces* I’ve always had a thing for Apu…

Mmmmm…one day…

We’ve talked about this over the years and one day it will be ours! I think the product marketing staff had us in mind when they made this little gizmo. What do you think, MP?  Hey, her panties look REALLY familiar…

iGasm Fun!

I hope they refill my prescription

Between work, spouses, and kids it’s hard to handle sometimes. For those times, we need some extra-strength medication. I’m Fed-Exing some of these to you tonight, MP. I’m really sorry our evening spiraled out of control when all we just really wanted to do was to chill out together and kill some mutant zombies and make a Stonehenge run. *grumbles* Take 2 pills with a full glass of water and I’ll be right up.
