Celebrate National Cosplay Day

In honor of the holiday, I’ve updated my past Halloweens page with another old pic I recently found. Given the excellent probability of digital cameras at VTSFFC Halloween this year, I expect to be able to add my 2003 costume to the page Sunday or Monday.

Office conversation

“Microscopic bugs in your hair, mites on your skin – do you have any idea what’s in your blood?”
“Ummm… a tiny submarine carrying Raquel Welch?”
“Or worse, Chris Rock and David Hyde Pierce…”

I’ve avoided these for so long…

… but this one just gives such great answers.

I will conquer: The Moon. Beat that. (Where I will build The Alan Parsons Project.)
My title will be: Bill Gates. (I think I might enjoy the position more than the current holder.)
I will succeed by: Brute military force (Robot Hunter Killers.) (“using wave after wave of my own men…”)
My Enforcers will be: LV-426 Aliens. (I’m fine as long as no one sends Predators or Sigourney Weaver after me.)
My first act as ruler: Make smoking a capital crime. (… I’m just leaving that one where it is.)

Ooo, hit me again Agent Smith

You know, if I were one of Morpheus’ freedom fighters for Zion, I’d spend a *lot* of time researching electronic ways to block the ‘pain’ and ‘damage’ signals the Matrix wanted to send to my meat body.

Imagine if you hacked the connection ever so slightly to redirect the pain signals so they’d send a tiny jolt to the pleasure center of your brain instead. Agents could shoot you all day and it would just make you giggly. Your Matrix body might end up looking like The Crow, but that might be turned to your advantage; and you can always get another the next time you jack in.

This guy was serious

“You guys charge by the word, right?”

“Yes sir.”

“Okay, the ad reads: 1998 Framistan 300, 2001 Geezberg 197, 1972 Hoopyloc 180, and 1986 Felgercarb 200. $1000 for all. 540-555-1234.”

“Okay, sir, that’s 17 words.”

“No, it’s only seven words. The rest are numbers, so I get them for free.”

“… what?”

Owie owie owie

Well, apparently someone waltzed into Valve Software‘s computers, and waltzed out with the source code to Half-Life 2. The code and compiled binaries are all over the net, and soon script kiddies will be able to cheat at multi-player before the game is on the shelf.

I’ve always wondered what the point of cheating in online shooters is. Isn’t that the same as stating up front, “I suck so badly that I don’t have a prayer of beating anyone”?

I’ve sometimes used cheat codes in the single-player missions of some shooters, but I know I suck. 🙂

Hiding sharp objects from myself

There is a mission in the Terran levels of single-player Starcraft that I have been trying to beat for over a year, since we bought the game. I haven’t played a single Zerg or Protoss mission because this level has kept me from finishing the Terran campaign.

Tonight I beat it.

… and then the game locked up before I could save.
