Leilani - can I have one more piece of candy?
Ryan - yes, but you have to tell me what it is so I can mark it as eaten on the spreadsheet.
Ryan - and how many nerds?
Leilani - two.
Sean - just you and me.
Ryan - well, I am making a spreadsheet of my daughter’s candy haul.

Ryan - … Is that darth vader just walking down the street? awesome.

the old man and the sea
i’ve been pretty vocally harsh on cameron’s avatar, and if the matrix allusion in the last post didn’t make it clear why, let me explain. (no, there is too much. let me sum up.)
first and foremost, i’m still embittered by his unsportsmanlike strong-arming of nickelodeon and shyamalan’s the last airbender adaptation*. the entire mindset of someone who says...

and honestly, you watch something like district 9, then you watch the trailer for avatar, and the james cameron joint can’t help comparing poorly. it’s almost not fair.
here you have an established hit maker with decades of experience, 300 million dollars, literally bleeding edge new fx technology, and i watch the avatar trailer and i don’t even want to see the movie. almost...

sean: will you hand me my nalgene?
ryan: i don't know what that is.
sean: ... will you hand me uncle nalgy?
ryan: i will do this for you.
sean: thank you.
ryan: i've come to a decision. henceforth i shall only hand you this bottle if you say 'go get uncle nalgy, i want to give him a kiss'.
sean: if that means you stop randomly putting him on the floor, then deal.

Ryan - I don’t understand the point of windows 7 starter edition.
Sean - it’s like how you can buy a car with no seats and 3 wheels.
Ryan - not from the dealer!
Sean - yeah, they’re ah, cutting out the middleman.

basic cable
and stargate didn’t have the stones. kind of a bullshit episode. much better than i was expecting, a few nice character beats, some good Epic Ancient Technology, and more bullshit Fake Drama than i really cared for. still, could have been worse.
could have been better too, though. i guess they’re saving that plotline for at least a mid-season cliffhanger.

so i just watched most of saw 3 on syfy
disregarding the movie for a moment, it’s absolutely ridiculous that syfy can show as much of the violence and gore as they did, but they have to censor out someone saying fuck.
as for the movie itself, it’s good, though brutal; if you think you won’t like i imagine that’s true. most of my familiarity is from luke’s in-depth reviews, discussing both the plot and the...

Super monkeyball for the gamecube - TOTAL BULLSHIT. I had figured the lack of camera control on the gba version was a tech limitation. The auto centering camera changes which direction i’m rolling which throws me off course, which is fantastic on platforms and catwalks.
Fuck this, i’m not 16, I don’t have time to master broken control schemes. I have 3 versions of this game and I can’t play any...
