Uh oh. I smell upset Avatar fans.

Avatar is one of those movies where the more and more I think about it, the less I like it. Kind of like every George Lucas film. And Unobtanium....Really?

Looking at pictures of the 2001 Toa, their Turaga and Matoran clustered together triggered a sense of feelgood on me that none of the other sets did. I guess there's nothing else to say now except... HALT. HAMMERZEIT.

Got the same opinion from my brother; while he thinks it's a bad thing, I think it's a good thing. It's caused 'Invasion of Personal Space' for a reason- I wanted it to be unsettling in a way that didn't need hideous creatures or disturbing images.

Just me messing around with my art tablet for the first time, getting a feel for how the basics work and all. Not expecting any praise here, but opinions are always intriguing.

Not only do those bums at Games workshop continue to promise a Necron update yet never even touch them, but I just checked their site for the first time in months and they jacked the prices up on them by at least 15 percent. 14 bucks for a single metal Pariah. What a crock of nonsense! I definitely need to start selling this stuff off before I get used to the idea of spending that kind of money.

Call it reassuring, call it ominous, but whenever I find myself bored senseless I just take a look at my schedule of Fall college courses. Can't forget the whole "Try and find a job in this miserable economical environment that isn't indentured servitude to faceless fast food corporations" part, either. Suddenly, being bored to death is a luxury I'm all too happy to have while it lasts.

Other sites? I'd ask for examples, but there's that whole "OTHER WEBSITES DO NOT EXIST" policy that goes on around here.

I figured I had matured more then this. Perhaps it's just that I have so much I can spend that I've begun contemplating things I never would have considered before. Maybe the resurfacing of the Toy Story franchise reawakened some inner kid in me? But man, I got a bizarre urge to get my hands on some Turaga. Maybe the Bohrok Va too. Why? I have no clue. I always knew I wanted Nuju, but this bad? Holy dooley. I own the green guy *yes, I forgot his name*, Nokama, Vakama and the black one... But I never managed to get a hold of Nuju or Onepu. That's where the dilemma comes into play. Unfortunately, people on Ebay think that six 4$ figures *which would add up to a mere 24$* apparently quadruples into 100$ worth. Seems they're trying to appeal to collectors, and I guess in this scenario I 'technically' fall into that group. The difference being I don't feel like spending a full blown Benjamin on 2 inch tall plastic robot men. So I guess my real question is this: Anyone on here got a more reasonable alternative? You wouldn't get a lot of money out of me, but I might be willing to trade off things.

Oh you sillies. You seem to have mistaken my riff for some sort of serious criticism here. Keep in mind I've been playing the game for roughly... 24 hours now? Either way, I enjoy the game. Although that still doesn't change the fact my party members insist on standing eerily still and saying nothing despite how many times I try to interact with them. Couple it with the elevator music and it becomes the chilling pinnacle of awkward game moments.

"Lukas Shepard was trying his hardest to concentrate. Saren had gone rogue and effectively jeopardized his position on the council, as a Spectre and ultimately the entire human race... He and his allies would have to bring down the leviathan themselves. And yet despite this grave burden of responsibility now weighing down on his shoulders, he couldn't even begin to devise an approach. The annoyingly cheery elevator music softly prancing about in the background saw to this as he stared blankly across the elevator. The Quarian and Krogan seemed to have succumbed to the same audible assault as well, their minds reduced to bowls of intergalactic tapioca. Light rippled across blank, dilated pupils while the sickeningly upbeat techno diddied on in the background. The silence was shattered by a howl as Shepard snapped his head to the right to spot the source. The elevator next to their own was crossing paths during it's ascension. In it a man in bulky, worn armor adorned with gluing blue lights was fending off a mummified creature that was far more hideous then the husks Shepard himself had encountered on Eden. Meanwhile a heavily armored feminine with a cannon for an arm was blasting away at what Shepard could only describe as floating green jellyfish. Another clad in massive red armor adorned with golden eagles and skulls was engaged in hand to hand with a counterpart in black, gold trimmed armor wielding a chainsaw. Despite their independent struggles, they all glanced over simultaneously at Shepard and his party as the two elevators crossed one another. The whole group in the other elevator briefly forgot their conflict, long enough to laugh and point rudely at Shepard along with a variety of other colorful gestures. And just as soon as they appeared, they disappeared. 'Man,' Shepard thought, 'I really should have just waited for that elevator' . He briefly glanced over his shoulder to try and get his comrades opinions on the encounter, only to see they were still patiently gawking at nothing while that wretched music carried on in the background. " ...Someone please tell me what is with every game made by the guys who gave us KOTOR and big cities filled with running around in circles running errands for people? AND THE ELEVATORS. I NEVER THOUGHT ANY DEVELOPER WOULD HAVE THE BRASS TO SERIOUSLY MAKE INTEGRATED SEQUENCES OF AWKWARD ELEVATOR WAITS BUT THEY DID I have no idea whether that is a good thing or a bad thing but the world of games will never be the same.

Amen. As soon as I got Wrex and Garrus I basically hurled the two humans off the shelves. I guess that means I'm a xenophiliac, huh?

No, no photoshopped shenanigans involving the sci-fi game and the card game here. You may all leave now. Nah, just kidding. About the leaving part, not the Uno. There is no Mass Effect card game, much less Uno. Sorry to disappoint... Anyways, Steam had both Mass Effect games for steep sale. Originally I had no interest in the games, but I must admit the whole idea of your actions in the first game leading to consequences in the second sounded really cool. So naturally when I see the first going on sale for 5 bucks and the other for 20, it's fairly obvious I had to at least give them a spin. Of course, all I ever knew about the games in advance was that they were basically mass-budget dating sim games *CoughspoilerUglyBlueSpaceLesbianscough* , but hey. Can't knock it till you've tried it, I suppose. Not to mention I was getting bored with all these grimdark sci-fi games. So Mass Effect looked more then a little...Colorful. Who knew in the advanced future of humanity, all female military personnel would be issued pink and white armor? The camouflage worked great during the siege against the fortress of self-proclaimed dictator for life Willy Wonka, but it looks a little out of place here. Regardless, from what I have played of it it's actually pretty fun. Am I about to spend hours on end playing it? Not from the looks of it, but it got me off Team Fortress 2 and Killing Floor, so I won't complain.

Demomen need to stop waving those toys around;they might hurt someone. Axetinguisher> Demo Knights.

Well, how else would you explain why I'm back here? One minute Wyatt tells me the site's gone berserk with the signature guidelines and a month later I finally give in to curiosity and sign back on. So. UPDATES OF INSIGNIFICANCE I aced my art and film classes, not to mention graduated. Somehow, I figured finishing homeschooling would suddenly yield more excitement in my life, but not so much. That's up to me and I am working on it. Warhammer 40k is starting to bore me. I'm planning on selling both my Necrons and Chaos off to...Well, whoever I can sucker into buying them. Why do I keep the Tau? I don't know. Something about them still appeals to me. But yeah, ultimately I feel like my hobbies should be a little more productive then little green army men. Don't get me wrong, Necrons are still awesome... Just not worth actually owning. Video games are starting to bore me. Most. Lost Planet 2 is a blast when playing with my camaraderie, but this online stuff is a silly way to waste time away. Oh and once I evolve this Puptar thingy into that big green guy *Tyrannitar, I think* in Pokemon I can finally stop playing. Still waiting for the day when a plane crashes just outside my street. Don't lie to yourself; brushing shoulders with death is the best way to spice one's day up! I got a friggin' Art Tablet for graduation! Of course, the software that comes with it is just as, if not more, complicated then Photoshop ever was. So art may or may not ever show up on here. See boredom. I'm going to get a nice big electric guitar soon. I figure it was time to get into something new, and I've always wanted to make music on par with Tool, A Perfect Circle and Bad Religion. Does this make me an interesting person? PFFFT get out of here. If you want interesting, go visit an insane asylum or something. I'm saving all my prankster daydreams for New Years Eve: 2012. Well, maybe not the Gman's Pizza one, but still. Already bored of being on the computer, talk to you all in awhile or something!

Toodles, all.

"I wonder if I lost all my stuff when I uninstalled TF2?" After several minutes, I am relieved to see I have not after reinstalling it. An hour later... I'm so funny

"You have successfully uninstalled Team Fortress 2" That felt goooooood~

I'm not particulary fond of online versus games- but I've always played Team Fortress 2. There is one thing I've found, though. The game's coordinator-and-teamwork attitude is spoiled by two things. The Demoman and Soldier. Now, I don't care so much about losing as long as I still have fun in the process, so that's not the issue here. I'm not one of those people who plays these games to win and feel awesome or something because it's just a game. But when I'm just trying to unwind and find I can't enjoy the game because we're getting steamrolled by a team with several dozen Soldiers and Demomen who just hammer M1 over and over again, praying their splash damage will kill everything in sight -and it usually does- then I have a problem. 3. 2. 1. ... Where's the boom, you say? Where's Carl screaming and raving about how he wants to send all the Scottish cyclops back to Scotland in several dozen neatly arranged pieces? What about digging an Axetinguisher into the skull of a rocket-spewing neanderthal? Well, I've found that no matter how hard I try, I can't get that angry. It's a game. I don't get angry as much as I just get this bitter taste in my mouth because I'm slowly losing interest in a once-great game because it's getting spoiled over by FUBARed classes. If anything, I feel more like a winner walking away from defeat with a calm demeanor. The way I see it, I have no interest in playing something that only makes me angry and costs me time. I guess that's where I'm truly bothered- I know I'm just growing bored of online gaming. Don't get me wrong, though. In-game I still loathe those two cheap classes, but I find I just don't really care about it as soon as I turn away from the screen for a moment. Let them have their victories. Let them have their ego-boosts from being good at a game. I've got better ways to spend my time then them, and that's what matters to me.

GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD GEDDITOFFAME *I am talking about a particular song that has been going through my head ever since I heard it on Tuesday*
