If you haven't watched it...

DO.

If you like nerdy comedy, that is (your secret is safe with me.)

Logan Blitz : Cage fighter Tough hero.
Gunnery Sergeant Carrie Lawrence : Ex-military Fast hero.
Dr. Christina Shultz : Biochemist Smart hero.

A guy who is really good at punching things and two characters with more than a few ranks in Demolitions. Yeah. This is gonna be interesting.

I am more than a little sad no one picked any psychic feats. Hilariously, only the cage fighter meets the requirements.

Diet Cthulhu : Just for the fhtagn of it. Same great taste but with less ph'nglui mglw'nafh.

I've been working on a Call of Cthulhu-style d20 Modern campaign after reading a bunch of Lovecraft's writings. Pretty much, it's just d20 Modern with the addition of the Sanity stat (SAN). In everything, however, there is humor.

So, I TOTALLY missed the balloonboy LOLDRAMA but I managed to catch up on all the excitement and horror thanks to a few dedicated individuals on my f-list.

To apologize for my absence during the drama, I will post pics.

So, being a bachelor pad, we don't have much in the way of proper ingredients. Still I managed to make something...

Bacon cheeseburger casserole.

It is as amazing as it sounds. I think I now have another skill rank in Craft (Delicious Food).

Why put up with paintings of Jesus holding the Constitution, when you can have Cthulhu do it?

Found a picture of Sammee while organizing the pictures on my computer.

It's been less than a week since he's been gone, and already I came home to find a cat in my house. Apparently, dad wanted one. Naturally, it has to like me most of all, even though I am not ready for another pet.

Bitch bitch bitch, I know. Mostly I just wanted to share the picture.

And it's done. It went fast once we got it going... I don't think he really figured out what was going on. I knew it was coming, from the day we got him I knew one day I would have to watch him die, but god damn it hurts so much. I have never in my life cried so hard as I did over his body.

Because I've been doing a shit ton of reinstalling due to me trying new versions of Ubuntu and also fucking them up horribly, I figure I might as well make a spot to hold code that will make my reinstalling easier. This code block enables the medibuntu repository as well as installing gnome-do, thunderbird, banshee, sound tools, speedcrunch, xournal, inkscape, pyroom, extra compiz settings, extra themes, and new codecs.

Tomorrow: See best friend. Put dog down. Suppress guilty feeling that I was a bad owner.
Saturday: Look for jobs again. Play video games. Suppress guilty feeling that I was a bad owner.
Sunday: Celebrate my 21st birthday by getting which-way-is-up drunk. Use alcohol to suppress guilty feeling that I was a bad owner.

Got the keys to a new place and we're gonna be moving this weekend.

Obviously, there has to be a giant storm on that exact date. Watched the radar and the time lapse shows several different patches of green converging from all different directions right over my house, turning from green to yellow to red to magenta.


MAG-EN-TA

This is gonna be fun.

So, my grandma brought home a candle that smells like a birthday cake. Like, exactly like a birthday cake. We actually started craving white cake, so we got some.

Now I can honestly say that someone's cake tastes like a candle.

Aether must have a mass of 9.49205 × 10²⁵ kg and a mean radius of 25,515.86 km to have Earth-like gravity and Earth-like atmospheric pressure at the same depth.

OH GOD WHY DO I CARE SO MUCH ABOUT THE REALISM OF A FICTIONAL PLANET?!

Also, why is the final boss music of Eternal Darkness so damn catchy?

Got in an argument with some friends and ended up walking two and a half miles home in the dark last night. I dunno what's wrong with me.

Okay, so I need to pick the native races that inhabit my game world. It's important to do this early because it can radically alter how the world's society develops. A peek in the Player's Handbook reveals these races...

• Humans

• Dwarves

• Elves

• Gnomes

• Half-Elves

• Half-Orcs

• Halflings

Go see it.

NOW.

It's amaaaazing.

So, while my friend is DMing, I've had free time. I've run Dungeons and Dragons games for years now, and so it's natural to think like a Dungeon Master whenever I even think about the game, so not having any world-creation responsibilities is unsettling for me. So what did I do? I decided to spend my time building a new world, perhaps even to publish online. Who knows if it will get that far, but it's a neat project and I really want to have an actual, complete game world to call my own instead of creating half-assed ones every new campaign. It could be one I use again and again, and the lack of a time constraint on its creation means that it will likely be of high enough quality to actually be worth using again and again.

Usually I do all my world creation by myself without any external input, but I want to try something different. So, I'm putting my stream of consciousness into a blog post, mostly so that I can reference it at a later date from anywhere and so that I can get input from others instead of being solo. So what do I need to do?

I am immediately reminded of a line from The Mentalist.

"She's entitled to her opinion."
"Not if it's wrong!"

While I would be surprised if there were no other forms of life in the universe, I do not seriously believe they have visited our planet. There are no known mechanisms by which a physical object can move through space at a sufficient velocity to reach its intended destination in a reasonable amount of time. Even going faster than light could take hundreds or even thousands of years to reach another star system. Why the hell would these creatures expend such ridiculous resources to visit us only to hover around in the sky for a few seconds, a minute at most, perhaps even poke the native wildlife with needles, and then leave?

Also, why the hell are they even poking creatures with needles? They can warp space and time to travel several hundred times the speed of light but they don't have anything more medically advanced than an anal thermometer?

I have 8965 bad sectors on my hard drive. My scan is currently 65.63% done.

This does not please me.
