You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

COULTON IN RB2!!!!!

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I read about Coulton here whilst I was on the radio just now, I ended up telling everybody as I was so excited.

Coding and Sleeping

This new site Good Old Games Gog.com look interesting once they have more titles. Old games on the cheap with DRM and disk checks removed and rigged to run on XP and Vista.

I'm tempted to pick up Freespace 2, I have it, but one of my disks is scratched preventing reinstalling. I bought FS 2 out of a bargin bin originally, so another $6 doesn't seem to bad for the convenience.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

That site's a cool find, Gud. Battle Chess! (Not that I'd have anyone to play it with even if I bought it, but it brings back memories.)

Anybody know of a racing game that actually has decent physics?

The Gran Tirismo games put heavy emphasis on real life driving physics.

ION, I saw Bender's game the other night and loved it. Aside from the obvious LotR and Star Wars references, I caught references to Akira, Time Bandits and Adventures of Baron Munchausen. I was laughing most of the way through, and loved the reverse take on the Darth/Luke "I'm your father" scene.

Pete has been eaten by Gears of War 2. I KNOW I like Little Big Planet better, from a bystander perspective.
