Not really a kid. Not really an airbag. WHAT THE HELL IS IT???

Ah yes, those heady days when post count could be confused with legend status.

How have the last 4-5 years been?

I'm pretty good, that's what's good. Other than an unfinished map or two in Wads and Mods, a dead Jurassic Park TC, and a cancelled never to be released Free Heretic Map, I have contributed nothing of substance to the Doom community. Except bad posts on Doomworld and ZDoom forums, and a few submissions on Realm667.

Disappointed I missed this. It's like Tommy Weisou ended his film career and picked up the management position for a mapping team. -

I'm pretty stoked for this, for a couple of reasons.
One, it was filmed at the amusement park where I work in the summers. It's funny how realistic the movie actually appears to be, even though it's a complete exaggeration for the most part. For example, I worked at the game featured in the horse race scene my first summer, and I actually did get told by one of my supervisors to be more enthusiastic when announcing the winner, etc.
Also, my cousin has a pretty decent role in the movie. He's the kid in the trailer who's singing and playing the air drums on the dock.
It comes out some time in March (in the U.S., at least). So you all should go see it. -

Every time I spend money, I immediately take all the coins out of my wallet that I get back in change because they make my wallet bulky and uncomfortable and I put them all into a box in my room. Every so often, I'll gather everything together and either put it in coin wraps and deposit it in the bank or if I'm lazy I'll just go to CoinStar.
It's about that time again, and I just counted $59 in quarters, which obviously doesn't even include the insane amount of smaller change that's accumulated over the past 8 months or so. So once I get everything sorted out, it'll be like finding a $100 in my pants pocket or something. Pretty sweet. It's like my Christmas present to myself, except I'll probably just end up spending it doing all of my Christmas shopping for other people.- Show previous comments 12 more

Ha, well now you've done it. Because of that I now have to link to my favourite sentiment about the new prez. (last panel) -

Did I miss something?

I've come to realize that Doomworld is far and away the most soothing on the eyes. I use the default theme and the navy blues/blacks make me far more likely to zone out staring at dwf than any other site that I check out regularly.

I just saw it for the first time, like ten years late apparently. It was on cable TV so I'm assuming it was somewhat watered down, but I was not overly impressed considering what I've heard people say about it before. The ending was pretty predictable, I thought the last two kills were going to be Brad Pitt's wife and her unborn fetus (and I really thought it was going to be the fetus when the box arrived). But then once all that shit went down I really thought a better ending would have been for Brad Pitt to cap himself instead of or in addition to Kevin Spacey.
Anyway there was this thing on the Weather Channel earlier about people who live in these Antarctic bases at the South Pole year-round. That was way more interesting than Se7en. They live in this big dome that basically has a small town inside of it, complete with a library and a bar and everything. Since they're so far south, they literally have no sun from March to September, so they're pretty much trapped in there. I think it'd be pretty cool to do that for a year.
So yeah talk about whatever you want I guess, I just wanted to share my channel surfing results of this idle Wednesday night.- Show previous comments 8 more

I have no idea. It's been in the making for like 3 years now. I just hope it doesn't suck.
Converting the graphic novel to a screen play seems like it'd be really difficult, the way it was set up with constant jumping back and forth between different places and times. Plus the whole "graphic novel within a graphic novel" subplot would be nearly impossible to integrate into a film version and have it make sense to the casual viewer. -

That WAS going to be the ending but it was someone decided it was a bit much (I'd say that line was crossed with the Spiked dildo XO ) also Morgen Freeman was going to shoot Kevin Spacey (and say some kickass lines while doing so) but Pitt insisted that he was going to be the one to do it.

I have this strange nostalgic fetish for VHS movies. Maybe it's just the fact that I grew up during the 1990s and I hate to see that part of my youth just go to waste, or maybe it's the fact that the little 12" TV I own is like ten years old and has a built-in VCR. Either way, I've amassed a nice little collection of VHS tapes that I take with me everywhere I go for more than a few days at a time that I am still adding to constantly. Just today, I stopped at the local Exchange and bought 9 more movies at $1 apiece, and it inspired me to catalogue my collection:

Animal House
Aristocats
Army of Darkness

Some of these I've had since I was a kid, others I've come across since I began my VHS revival a couple of years ago. Eventually, I want to reach the point where I have a nice, diverse collection of films, so that there's nothing really integral from my youth that I'm missing. Right now, there's about 20 more movies that I really would like to find, after which I think I would be satisfied. After all, videos tend to be somewhat unwieldy compared to today's technology and I would like this collection to be finite.
However, I'm always open to suggestions. The only parameters are that it has to be something that came out before 2002, which when my family got its first device capable of playing DVDs, thus finally beginning to render my video cassettes obsolete. Apart from that, it just needs to be something that I could always put in and enjoy, a film that does well to represent its genre in the particular era in which it came out.- Show previous comments 28 more

Many CDs of mid-1960s albums are the stereo versions. Mono typically sounded better at that time until the industry "perfected" stereo (which is still arguable for a lot of later music). Stereo was new to most artists at the time, and they weren't sure how to get the most out of it, but mono was no problem.
This is one reason many mono vinyl records from the mid sixties sound better than the stereo CD versions. -
You know, the whole matter was covered by James Randi years ago.

Hmm loudness war... maybe not entirely relevant to that article but I have noticed CD's becoming louder and louder as time goes by.
I mean, like how NakedSnake is a big fan of AC/DC, I'm a big fan of Dream Theater. So as such, when I'm switching from album to album I notice these sound levels increase.
Their debut album is relatively quiet, and I always have to increase the volume from what it was previously on (mostly because alot of the music I listen to is post-1989). The second album is slightly more louder but not really noticeable. But then suddenly, come 1994 and you get the third album, there is a huge boost of volume... and every suceeding album does increase in volume, though sometimes not so evidently.
It really annoys me actually because I'll put together a playlist on iTunes of different songs from different albums. When one song finishes and the next begins, it's like BANG and (while listening to headphones already at quite a high level) it's really frustrating. Having to quickly unzip everything to get to my iPod just to turn the damn thing down a bit.

Holy shit this is fucking awesome. I can practically walk up to my doorstep.

This is what happens when two trucks accidentally arrive on the same day even though they're not supposed to and we wind up with more stuffed animals than we know what to do with. -
the new Pumpkins leaked. And it's surprisingly good.

This phrase bothers me.
I feel like if something is "cooked to order," that means it's cooked beforehand so when you order it, it's already there.
That is all.

P.S. Red Lobster's biscuits fucking rock.
Yes they do. Oddly enough, them, clam chowder, rice, mashed potatoes, and the baked potatoes are the only things we keep sitting around cooked. The rest is cooked as people order it as per the thread topic. The lobsters are the only fresh thing. We kill them back in the kitchen.

So those lobsters in the tank aren't just for show after all.
But seriously, do they still give kids those stupid little comic books and crayons for the paper table cloth?

(I haven't been to Red Lobster in a while)Yes. Yes they do. Then the fucking lazy servers throw them into the silverware tub and when I run it through the machine all the wax melts to the silverware and it's a bitch to get off. >_<

Not as bad as leaving my wallet in El Segundo I guess, but terribly inconvenient nonetheless.

Lut's title reminded me of the whole "stupidity cannot be concealed" thing and I realized I haven't seen him around in forever.
Like he doesn't even bug me on AIM to play his crappy levels anymore. -
A few days ago I drove around the city with a friend and took about a million pictures, which I managed to pare down to three Facebook albums. I live in a pretty awesome town so I thought I'd share these for anyone who's interested in photography/cities/skylines/architecture/parks/etc.

Album II
Album III
