The Nameless Site

Nothing is better to me than screwing up telemarketers.

Today’s guy was all friendly and loose.

“We do 1010 numbers for long distance”
“Oh, we don’t make long distance calls”
“oh.. none at all?”
“nope”
“How about traveling?”
“hrm, nope”
“okay then…..*searching* I guess i can’t help you with
your long distance needs”
“okay, sorry, bye.”

So far this weekend I got to try two really cool demos, and one really pathetic demo.

TMNT: The Movie game really sucks, you can easily tell its the same engine as hulk, and spiderman and such. Doesn’t even feel like ninja turtles except you can do some combo moves(?). I think at least, I had trouble getting anything other than the super jump to work.

Supreme Commander was pretty cool. The first level took me 1.5 hours on easy to complete, and i was shocked to see there was another level to be played after that. I guess the 1.5 gig download had alot of stuff on it :) Unfortunately, during the last phase of the first level, I had approx 40 guys, plus whatever the computer had fighting, and it was seriously starting to lag my machine, so I doubt i’ll be picking up this game any time soon.

Command & Conquer 3 was by far the most fun, and the full motion video briefings were finally cool, except for the one time your “helper” told you to right click on something, otherwise it felt really cool (I know I already said that, but it did). Plus they got a few big name actors to go along with the ones they had in the previous games. Jennifer Morrison From House, Grace Park from Battle Star Galactica, and Billy Dee Williams from starwars. At least those are the big names I saw in the demo.

I am so pre-ordering C&C when i get a chance this week.

This weekend Nigel loaned me this short book called All my friends are superheroes. So far its been pretty awesome, but there’s just one superhero description I have to share.

The Dancer

The Dancer has direct communication with God, much like a personal phone line. The telephone she uses is her body and she dials by dancing. As such, her dancing is a very, very sensual thing.

In the past, whenever she went out dancing, she got hit on and hit on and hit on. She didn’t like this at all. She hated it. It wasn’t what she was trying to do. She just wanter to talk to God. She almost gave up dancing altogether. Then she got an idea.

Now, just before she goes out dancing, the Dancer straddles a photocopier and makes copies of her vagina. When guys come up and hit on her, she justs hands them a copy.

“It was legen-wait for it-dairy.” – Barney

But yes, honestly, how could a movie be any worse, the budget was sad, the acting…well… it was sad, they spent their money hiring a few big name actors.. i’ve seen better special effects on slurrey videos. Specially the whole pirate ship music video thing, other than having T&A in the video, it was so low budget..

Speaking of T&A, it totally would have been a better movie if they had nudity and/or swearing. I know i’ve said usually it deters from movies, but honestly, it couldn’t hurt this one.

Really, all you can honestly say about it is “It was epic”

So about a week ago now my camera’s LCD window cracked/broke. I honestly am not sure how it happened, but i’m fairly certain, due to not having any case or other protection, its my fault.

Now that being said, the camera is barely a month old now. I got it from mom for Christmas, she paid extra for the futureshop warranty. So as its still less than a year, one would suspect the double warentee would make it easier to get things fixed. BUT NO!!!

Yea, I totally suck at forcing thier hand, but all they were doing was telling me how it was physical damage and they won’t fix it. Finally I got him to tell me I could probably get the screen fixed but it would cost $200. And that if they replaced it, everyone would just drop their camera to get another one.

I’ve now realized that I should focus on seeing if I can get them to at least help pay for a repair, i don’t need a new one, I just want my screen working again. I was prepared to shell out good bucks to pick up a good case.

It doesn’t make it any easier to know I’m in the wrong this time, but I just want it fixed, I miss having the small camera already (although I *can* use it, its jsut hard to line up pictures properly, plus i have no idea if its zoomed or not).

Watching superman returns (don’t ask why)..

First he goes to lois’s house and watches her family through the walls. Next he goes to outer space and listens to everyone in the city.

I don’t think this is a very good movie..

It has nothing that makes it a good movie.

If the word ‘rofl’ appears in a bash.org quote, be concerned.
If it appears more than once, you can almost guarentee its a bad quote.

So many quotes had to be marked down this batch. They just released 42 quotes between about midnight (PST) last night and about 10am this morning.

Looks like some new mod is just approving everything. Some are good though.

Yay! Spent the day on the server.

* Upgraded Apache (I think, I didn’t check version #s)
* Dropped lighttpd frontend (don’t need 2 httpds running at one time)
* Upgraded loudblog for hiscifi.com (Even if I never do get a response as to if they are ditching loudblog/whatever)
* Upgraded php
* Installed eaccelerator

I’m fairly certain I tracked down the perforamce issue too.. Streaming music to a flash player. I don’t know for certain, but when I attempted to do it, like 15 apache threads opened up, and load spiked.. and that was just me.

Now to go back to playing dungeon keeper 2.. man old games.. how I miss thee :P

Oh my.. del.icio.us Bookmarks has to be one of the coolest new firefox (2.0) plugins.. Just like flock did.

First it goes through, imports all your bookmarks to del.icio.us with some of the common tags for things you have. Everything you import is not shared by default, so you don’t have to worry about private links.

Now I can go back to using the comics tag I was using before.

I love this plugin so much.
