Reporting for Duty

Unit 36: An alien android sent to defend humans from an extra-terrestrial threat. Trapped on Earth, it continues to execute its primary protocol.

Yup, I'm smitten. It's only going to cost about $15USD a month...

Now I need to form a Super Group.

Oh, and if you want to solo, it really looks like Blaster types are the way to go (think Punisher). I want to try the Controller type, but I think it might get frustrating to have my butt handed to me by every two-bit hood.

For Truth and Justice

Or at least some heavy duty smacking of evil people (and misguided zombies...). City of Heros: If you can get a trial key, give it a go. It's very much in the mold of World of Warcraft as far as mechanics are concerned, and has a couple of minor issues in its interface, at least for me. On the other hand, the sheer amount of customization to your hero more than makes up for any deficiencies in the control scheme.

The only really creepy thing: the voiceless throngs of anonymous citizens. It's very eerie to run past a crowd and hear no one speaking. And it appears that the automobiles have noiseless engines as well. Really want to try City of villains now, too.

Now ... back to duty. Come Barnacle boy - I sense EVIL!!!

Fear

I have fear. (Aside: yes I'm going to start posting thoughts and shots from the dealers room, but first I need to rant.)

Yesterday I made a stop at the local to me (my neighborhood that is) Geek Boutique to see if I could get a copy of battlefield 2 cheap. The deluxe version is coming out soon, but I have a hankering' for some new game action (I should get back to Oblivion, but I feel like savoring it). I was stunned with what I found.

Rows upon rows of console titles have squeezed my favorite platform.

I mean, I OWN more titles than these guys had on the 'New' rack.

Wii, eh...

Post apocalyptica

Tired. Like 'weight of Atlas' tired. But it was a good weekend.
Success goal 1: set up table BEFORE room opens - achieved.
Success goal 2: sell something - achieved.
Success goal 3: have people actually calling me Mr. Poody - achieved.
Success goal 4: have people I don't know ask me for a "Friend of Mr. Poody" sticker - missed.
Success goal 5: pay costs of table - achieved.
Success goal 6: Pay cost of product for table - missed (note to self - at least break even pricing next time!)
Success goal 7: Have good time - achieved.

So, I'm approaching 80%. That's good for my first effort. Un-looked for successes include being dubbed the unofficial "King of Lego" and getting to listen to Robert J. Sawyer shop for used books.

I have shots of most of the people and their booths for a series I'm going to do on the show. More later. Oh as a side note: regardless of the fact that your wife paid the money for charity, drinking a shooter from an atractive woman's bra, while said woman is still in it == BAD IDEA.

Yes, it should have been obvious to me too.
