nuadha_prime? Card night this week?


satyr_mi? Finish off the chicken strips tonight? (It's a sickness, I know, I've had chicken strips for like 5 days in a row)


WoW blabber. Almost 67. 1.5 levels until Flight Form.

Neverwinter Nights 2? Nice and shiny, but damn could they have made it more brutal to a machine than they did? Not used to turning shit down on my home PC for anything anymore. Oh, and way to go re-using all the voice samples from the original game. Nothing screams "production value" more than recycled audio tracks.

Comics blabber. Supergirl #13 was good. There were a couple odd artwork moments, but still good. And they need to decide between all the artists how Powerboy is going to look, because the cleavage window is way too big for a man. Granted, showing off a hairy chest (there was no hair on him the last few times I've seen him show up in anything) isn't something I'd complain much about, but hey. JSA #2 was okay... I like it, don't get me wrong, but it didn't seem like enough actually happened in the issue. And the big reveal at the end would have probably been great if I had actually any idea who *spoiler* was once he took off his mask. :-p That entire not having read any of the previous stuff and all. ;-)


Back to work time.

Being that I'm a huge fan of The Legion of Super Heroes, the reveal of JSA #2 brought a squeak of glee from me. I do agree on the cleavage window on Power Boy. I wonder if he, too, wants Superman to fill his hole?

As for Neverwinter Nights 2, I had massive trouble running it before it got patched up to 1.03. Where I could barely run it at 800*600 on the absolute lowest setting (getting around 5-25 fps), I can now run it at 1024*760 on medium-high with no problems.

For the JSA bit, I "knew" that was who he was because I've been reading forums like crazy, so after the "teaser" panels from the end of #1 where everyone was like "OMG IT'S HERE LOOKING FOR HIM!! IT MUST BE WHAT'S HIS NAME!"

As to PB: Most original drawings of him had a very very small hole in the chest of his costume. Including his "preview" appearance in Issue 11. Now, uh, well, huge hole. o_O As in "WTF I can almost see his nipples??" huge. I think he wants Supergirl to fill something, but I really don't wanna go there on that one...

As for NWN2: I'm used to playing at 1280x1024 with everything turned up. Having to downsize to 1024x768 and medium settings is annoying. And the UI from a crack-babies head is making me go O_o

I hate the UI with a passion. What was so wrong with the one from NWN? It did the job it was supposed to do without a flaw. The NWN 2 one is giving me lip everytime I try to move a skill, spell or feat to the quickbar.

Let's not forget the hilarious save bug you get if you keep saving on the same savegame. It's so much fun getting corrupted saves with faulty .Z files with 0 bytes in them. :V

Still, the game itself is great, I love the dialogue and character, and it IS pretty.
