Generally speaking, the density of posts made this year has been lacking of lustre, I mentioned this to Balai recently and he pointed out that I was the source of a significant percentage of last year's blog-related content, and that I had been slipping as of late. The trouble is that there hasn't been any big news lately, at least not any I feel inclined to talk about, there have been a couple of minor things here and there though. So, how to overcome this obstacle? Just talk about severall minor things in one go instead! Or talk about kittens for three paragraphs, either way.
-> I, like Myke, saw The Unborn yesterday, if you haven't seen it I highly recommend you thank your associated deity. It isn't scary or anything, just really, really bad. Half way through I had started to wonder if I had actually walked into the wrong screen, I wasn't watching a horror film, I was sitting in a documentary on this arsehole.
-> Lately I haven't been keeping up with Xbox Live Marketplace content as much as I normally do, so I'm probably about to start talking about old news, sorry. I played the Dark Athena demo yesterday and, well, it wasn't bad it just... it just didn't suck me in. This is an unequivocal tragedy, I have enjoyed the Chronicles of Riddick films thoroughly thus far and a good game based on them would be nice.
-> He may make claims to the contrary but Myke is most certainly not a man, there are a few pre-requisites (three of them to be exact) you must meet before being allowed entry into this exclusive club, these standards he doesn't live up to.
-> Back to some old news. Lost Planet 2. Yes please. That co-op footage looks like it will be a riot. I never played the Colonies expansion pack for the first Lost Planet, but the Akrid hunter mode certainly sounded great, if they include that mode in the sequel then I'm sold. Not familiar with Akrid hunter? Let me fill you in: one player is a giant death insect, everyone else dies.

Porphyric Hemophilia
Checking out the latest news as I do, and some archaeologists have recently dug up a female skeleton with a brick lodged in her jaw. The article claimed it was because of medieval ignorance to how diseases spread. I'm completely fine with medieval ignorance. If it weren't for their ignorance, we wouldn't have all this folklore. Without that folklore, we wouldn't have such genius films as Lesbian Vampire Killers.
Anyways, I thought I ought to tell you that I have been wearing slippers all day. Interesting little fact there. Oh and I watched The Unborn yesterday. Now, I'm not going to completely slate the film... but it was terrible. I mean, as a film it was ok, but it tried to take itself as a horror. In a good horror film, you aren't meant to see the scary thing. If you do, it must be nanoseconds. Sorry for the spoilzors here, but toward the end of The Unborn it started to feel like a Jewish version of Ghostbusters. Without the funny.
Unless you lust after Odette Yustman like a horny dog after your favourite pillow, then I wouldn't suggest seeing it. Oh, and the dog the rabbi sees is so adorable! I want one. One with it's head upside down, that was cute. Ye gods I'm sounding like a girl... I once bent an iron beam like the ones that make up the internal structure of skyscrapers. Also I can bite a hole in the Yellow Pages. Oh yeah, I'm a man. Ignore anything Iced says in later posts.
War out guys!

Labels and more
It would seem that while Myke was ranting he had forgotten to add the commas between labels, this has generated what I consider to be the best label of all time.
So all together now.
1.2.3.
Thanks Myke
Well now that's over I'm sure I should carry on with something far more interesting, like what's happening over here at ye olde workplace.
In short, loads.
I will be done soon with a couple of my models but, you'll all be happy to know that we're finishing some features up soon and that we should get to work on some other stuff fairly soon.
Anyway that's all from me, and yes to answer the question dying to ask me, I will sign you.
Lastly, get off my damn lawn you kids!
*cough* Clint eastwood and I'm hungry for cheese burgers and star wars lightly marinaded with BBQ sauce *cough*

Would you like to buy some DeathSticks?
You don't want to sell me DeathSticks. You want to go home and rethink your life.
So, after my brief diversion via correcting the life of this bug-man at a bar, I am now on my laptop somewhere in Coruscant, ordering a glass of White Tuskan. Frankly, at the moment I'm jonesing for a Burger King (XL bacon double cheeseburger, large meal with Pepsi and BBQ sauce). Anyone willing to post one to me?
Right. Onto business. Balai is sitting here with me, and will give me inspiration for a rant... No? OK. Well, I will now go onto some random ramblings instead. For your enjoyment here is EPISODE 2 OF MYKE'S RANTS!
Gran Torino. It is a good film, I urge you, the general viewing public, and you, the weird people who actually read this blog, to go and see it. Plenty of bandwagon awaiting within. Like the scene where some gang members are trying to abduct the boy who lives next door to him, good ol' Clinty comes out with his rifle (from back in the days of his service in Korea) and aims it at one of the gangsters using the age-old old dude line: Get of mah lawn. He manages to make it sound so hardcore, you can hardly keep yourself from jumping up from your seat yelling 'Yeah! You tell that bitch!'.
Another scene from the film has Clint pointing his finger (in such a way to insinuate that his hand is a gun) at some more gangsters. You are just waiting for him to say 'You gotta ask yourself one question. "Do I feel lucky?" Well do yah, punk?!' Much to our disappointment, he did not however emit this line from the orifice de la Masculino he calls his mouth. Despite this he did say 'Pow', which was utterly hilarious.
Last note on the film, the song Eastwood wrote at the end is terrific. His vocals aren't anything to be desired, but it is a really nice song. The film is worthy of the praise it is getting.
I think, but I'm not sure, that I am now finished for today. Maybe I will post another rant when I get home, but that's not a guaranteed. Good morning to all, and to all a good day.
Stealing ideas from Iced is hilarious.

Lessons of life
Sometimes lessons need to be taught by teachers, other times they need to be taught by parents.
However in a few cases lessons must be taught by royally fucking up, this leeds me nicely on to a story which I shall now tell.
Come along gather round now, that's better.
It all started when I was playing around in some of the lesser known areas of the operating system I was using. This place was dominated by complicated text strings and dangerous path files but, I tread carefully to be sure that I did not trip up and accidently break something.
Anyway long story short I tripped.
Yeah you heard me, I accidently broke an important path file in the registry system.
Not to worry though, it would seem that Ijust broke the way in whihc my computer saved thing and subsequently have now failed to get a project in to Iced.Twice. It's fixed now so I should be able to keep on track and get it into Iced by about wednesday. Also I'm going to break a tradition by saying happy today everyone.
