So I just published my first fanfiction on ff.net.

Not sure how I feel about this.

Less good than you will after I figure out where it is!

...notrly.

I just realized that although my code is being backed up online, my artwork (models, textures, etc.) isn't!

Rectifying this now! Granted, there's probably a better way than splitting it into a 7-part .rar archive and emailing it to myself 3 parts at a time... but whatever.

exhausting day. beach for 8 hours, airshow, f-22 stunts, blue angels.  moved to a different spot on the beach and had one of the most painful skim sessions ever.  i pretty much got beat up by some water for an hour.  cut off at the ankles repetitively sending me headfirst over the wave and into the sand beneath it.  got a rather lot of air of the back of one wave, and proceeded to land by way of a back flop on my slight sunburn.  then it was all about to be better as i was perfectly set up to catch perhaps the wave of the summer.  until it suddenly turned into THE biggest shorebreak i've ever seen at VA beach right as i got there, and i could do nothing but scream "OH ****" and watch in horror as it collapsed right on top of me. 

goddamnit i have to go back to work tomorrow.

Really wish I'd taken the time to go through Spoony Experiment backlog before now.

Found my old Civ III game from middle school.

War with russia was going excellent but then they signed a pact with the Celts, who then paid every god damned country to declare war on me and asked for peace. Needless to say, I launched a coordinated assault with bombers, cruisers, and battleships to blast a corridor to the Celtic capital. During the barrage I deployed tanks which raced towards the city and razed it to the ground. None survived. Except for my guys, they all survived.

I'm getting ads from GoG describing Gabriel Knight as "classic gaming".

The things I mainly remember about the Gabriel Knight series were they had the scariest advertisements in PCGamer I ever saw (me back then would kinda flip past them really fast), and they were Sierra moon-logic-puzzle pixel***** madness "adventure gaming" very nearly at its height of moon-logic pixel*****iness.

Am I way off base here? Are these really classics worthy of inclusion in an ad that has been cut-and-pasted several times for Fallout or Panzer General or Alpha Centauri?

What is the name of this song?
I can't for the life of me remember

Heard it while watching stuff on youtube, and now it's really bugging me (used audacity to record)

Just remembered a fun little point 'n click adventure game that I played back when my age was in the single digits and I didn't quite have the grasp I do now on double entente.

Torin's Passage. A game that the writer said was made to include jokes that kids wouldn't get the whole meaning of, just the silly bits that kids would laugh at.


Also played the Steel Battalion demo on Xbox+Kinect. It was okay and the kinect involvement was certainly inspired, but it was still more than a bit awkward.

Edit:

Also This.

Apparently the Trololo singer died today at age 77.

I remembered the Maur the dragon chatterbot today.  I'm sad to report its demise - while I can find several transcripts of people talking to it (and being eaten after various lengths of conversation), I cannot find a running copy online.  RIP, devilishly cranky dragon, I never did figure out the solution to you...

On the topic of car collisions, I had a moment of impossible stupidity this morning that makes me think this is going to be a **** week.

On the weekend, some neighbours of ours had an afternoon party on their driveway in our cul-de-sac.  My wife and I attended, but when it was nearing time to put our little guy to bed I folded up the lawn chairs and tossed them in the garage in case we were going back over later.  Tossed them in the garage, right behind our old beater I use to commute to work.  I noticed them there yesterday when I was working in the yard and made a mental note to put them away so I didn't back over them on Monday morning.

I backed into them this morning.

Better yet, because they are light aluminum and shorter than the back window of the car, I pushed them 3 feet backwards with the car (and they oddly did not fall over, despite being wobbly as hell folded up) into the garage door frame and lower sensor, where they wedged and then provided resistance to the car, which I immediately noticed and stopped backing up.  I then spent the next 10 minutes bending the garage door track and sensor mount back into place all the while waving at my neighbours who were also leaving for work.

Timely reminder with all the kids in our cul-de-sac for Ryan - sightlines out the back of our beater are terrible, check behind car before backing up.

Why I try to park rear first nowadays...

With the advent of back-up view cameras, won't be long before nobody takes that kind of advice seriously. :|

Borrowed Skyrim from my friend and am planning to spend the next few days screaming "Fus Ro Da" at my tv, because pressing a button for my shouts of power is too mainstream.
