The pumpkin pie was pretty good. Better than I had expected.
So...
Okay, so I just watched Click. I reccomend it to anyone who hasn't seen it. I have to say, the ending actually left me in tears. Anyone else seen it?
I was just watching The Incredible Hulk and it gave me an idea…
Yeah, I saw Click when it was in theaters, and it was a lot better than I'd expected.
I posted this idea in its own thread here, but I don't think anyone even check there.
So, here is my idea again, posted here, so more people can see it.
I have an idea for another ZC related contest thing. This was an idea I got from "Famitsu's 100 Top Games List".It's simple. I imagined it as each month, people submit their quests* and the first 10 entered get added to a poll. The poll is open for a month, and people select the quest they would most like to see complete. I was thinking about having the option of voting for more than one quest, but I dunno. After the month it up, the 10 quests would be posted in order. This would be left up, and the submissions would go on for next week. You can enter the same quest again, and again, but you must enter it each time. Quests will be added on a first post-first add basis. I might have the option for people to "nominate" other people's quests, but they would need permission from the author. These are all just some ideas, and any feedback it welcome. I'd like to try it out, at least once (maybe a trial would only last a week though). I just think it would be interesting for people to see how anticipated their work is. This is not meant to hurt anyone's feelings, or make them feel bad. It is meant to do what real game publishers go through, and get some MAD REP on your work. Or not. If this goes through, I can set up more official guidelines. As it stands, it will be similar to SotW ad far as posting and submissions.
* Not an actual .qst file. You would submit the name of your quest, and a brief description. Possibly a screenshot. Anything you feel would promote your quest. No demos though. It would provide an unfair advantage to anyone who doesn't want to release a demo.
.... AND, there aren't any rules against organizing this type of thing unofficially, right 😃
Gawd, I'm bored! [SIZE="1"](I just thought I'd let you guys know.)[/SIZE]
go kick the kitty!
Well, this weekend has sucked for my girlfriend and me. We talk by email mostly, and she only gets an hour of computer time each day. Which, conviniently enough has fallen when I'm not here for the past three days in a row. Today might be better though...
We put up our Christmas tree 😊
Nice tree Moo. In the picture behind it that bug appears to be staring at the tree with a look of pure awesome on his face. Very nice.
I agree... NICE tree 😊 We're still deciding if we're gonna put one up or not... since we moved into the apartment we've not really found any room for our bigger tree and have only used the smaller "table top" one. I want to figure out so we can use the bigger one 😊
Very nice tree! Now, if only we can get up off our butts BEFORE Christmas Eve to put up our tree. :laughing:
My Dad's going to go out of twon in two weeks, so next weekend we have to get a tree and put up Christmas lights. It's going to be once crazy weekend.

Yeah, can you believe that MY little Bladen drew that? If you were to come into my apartment, you'd laugh and call me "that mom". I have his artwork up everywhere lol.
But thank you. It's a small tree, but it's also a small apartment...
Moo... that's what moms' are supposed to do hon 😊 Put their kids artwork/drawings up... all over the place. It helps build their (the kid/child)s' self-esteem 😊
I just saw The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. Wow, that was a good movie. It really exposed to horrors of concentration camps, the propaganda about that, and everything. I highly reccomend you watch it. Words fail to describe it.
Watch this video till the very end. The look on that rabbit's face in the exact same one that Bladen drew. You're going to have to teach him about copyright infringement Moo! =D
In tree related news we just got a new one tonight. Apparently the old one that was at my parents was either A)Ruined when there sump pump stuck off and they got like 3 inches of water in the basement or B)Stolen by tree gnomes. Personally I lean towards B but everyone says I'm crazy for it.
In Christmas related news, at Bellevue, about 25 minutes away from where I live, there's a festival every night until Cristmas, with artificial snow fall, carols playing over loudspeakers, and light displays. It's pretty awesome.
Anyone else seen Burn After Reading? It was pretty awesome. It is done in a similar "no one really knows what's going on" style of The Big Labowski.
We used to buy a tree up until a few years ago. I refuse to have anything to do with that synthetic wannabe. It doesn't even smell like pine.
I saw burn after reading, great movie. I particularly liked at one point how the head of the CIA goes, "Well we certainly learned our lesson here, whatever it is."
Yeah. The ending was pretty good. A bit unexpected, but still good.
Anyone here ever see "Vantage Point"
Great movie.
Agreed. Although my Mom and all of her friends who saw it hated it. I think it was the whole same 22 minutes from differents vantage points thing that drove them away. I was kind of upset that they never revealed the terrorist's plot though.
I never saw vantage point and I heard mixed things about it. Recently I've found the movie offerings to mostly be big steaming piles of shit. However, there are a few movies I'm looking forward too.
The Day the Earth Stood Still, I think this movie could be great. I know some people aren't Reeves fans, but I still say this one is going to be worth seeing. It looks as though they might have actually put thought into the plot and not just special effects, what a novel idea huh?
The Watchmen. Seen the preview for this one, read the comics, loved em. Can't wait for the movie now. Dr. Manhattan had better be as awesome or more as in the comic.
Star Trek Movie. I admit it, I am a trekkie. Plus, this goes back to the roots man, the roots. As Maxim magazine said, "Beam me up a nerd boner, Scottie."
Euro Trip, anyone? Oh, wait...
To be honest, it still was a good movie.
I recently saw and loved Role Models, and I, too, am excited for Star Trek.
So guess who's getting DSL in a few days.
Answer: Me
Woo! Now I can call up RCN and tell them to fuck themselves for giving me the worst cable internet ever.
Hmm. Is it just me or is the Water Temple in Master Quest WAY easier than the original? And, if you wanna talk about going out of order, I did Forest, Ice Cavern, part of Fire up until the Hammer, part of Water up until Longshot (Which you get really early), Bottom of the Well, part of Spirit up until you need Fire Arrows, then went back and finished Water, finished Spirit, and am now I'm en route to finish Fire. I've also gotten the Biggoron Sword and Mask of Truth already. I thought Twinrova would have been harder with only 13 hearts.
On a movie note, my mom started to watch 'Secret Life and Bees', and had to stop about 20 minutes in since she said is was too "unpleasant". She spends a lot of her time reading murder books. Oh well.

Oh my god, that movie was hilarious.

I'm pessimistic. It looks like they took out everything I like about Star Trek and tried to make a sexy action-flick with young, hot actors for people that don't like Star Trek. The director, JJ Abrams, has said in interviews he has never liked Star Trek was interested in doing his own version.
Well great! Someone who hates what I love is going to rape it with his own interpretation. No more "nerdy" stuff based around dialog and science. Let's have a sex scene and more explosions!
I'll wait until it comes out on DVD and just rent it.
