Now Playing: That Alicia Keys song... dunno the name. Something about keeping secrets...

Eidos.

They ran Lara into the ground. They cancelled perhaps the greatest game with two(!) female leads. They released Backyard Wrestling

They also paid for my subscription to Electronic Gaming Monthly. And Hitman: Contracts was passable. And they did publish the Legacy of Kain series.

So I was beginning to forgive them...

Then, this.

I officially hate Eidos all over again.

*cries on the inside*

Now Playing: Ai no Megami no Ho - Sailor Moon

I took my car to my mechanic. And there was this dog sleeping in a grass lot across the street. So, since I had nothing better to do, I decided to go sit on a bench near the doggie.

I got up to the bench, then realized that the doggie wasn't moving. So, I decided to see if the dog was okay.

I got up to the doggie before I realized that it was a freakin' huge dog with razor sharp teeth. And that it had been tied down. And that I was stepping on the rope.

So, I turned around and walked away. I stopped just outside where I saw the rope ended.

Then I whistled.

And, much like those old looney tunes with that dog and Foghorn Leghorn, the dog bolts upright, spots me, charges, and promptly nearly strangles itself on its leash while trying to get to me.

It was all very funny, in a "If I hadn't seen the rope I'd be dead now" kind of a way.

In other news, I'm just about done on my GURPS: Tales of Lassane website, and I should be starting the game as soon as I hear back from my players. That'll be fun.

In other other news, Fear Effect: Retribution is done, but I'm not releasing it until the end of next month. Honoring birthdays and such.

And I finally made it to dot.hack//MUTATION. Now it'll be another three months before I finally decide to play it... I really should pick up //SIGN, but I'm not getting anything else until I finish getting the Silent Mobius graphic novels (only four to go!). And then I start in on Gundam 08th MS Team and 0083 Stardust Memory. Rightstuf.com just dropped the price of... something. I can't seem to find it in the catalog anymore.

Oh, and Sailor Moon Season 2. You can't beat the price they've got it at. (49.99 versus 149.99 most other places).

Man... coffee is gross. I need my Pepsi back...

Now Playing: If I had a Million Dollars - Barenaked Ladies

So I scanned a bunch of art I'm going to use for my upcoming GURPS game. Since a lot of that art is spoliers for the plot, you won't see them. Because I'm mean. And too lazy to make proper webpages. And mean.

You know what the greatest thing about Electronic Gaming Monthly is? All those random links to interesting web pages. Like the Encyclopedia Obscura.

My favorite article so far? Definitly A Chinese Torture Story. I'm half-tempted to actually buy that movie, having read the summary. Luckily, I realized that death from my mother would be swift and brutal.

Penis explosion. *snicker*

Now Playing: Why Georgia? - John Mayer

As I was driving home from school, I noticed this butterfly fluttering above the street. I slowed down (no one was around) to admire it.

That's when it swooped down and crashed into my windshield, leaving a disgusting multi-colored smear on my glass.

That was depressing.

On the plus side, my mom won a scanner at work, and, since she has an all-in-one already, she gave it to me! Yay!

Now I scan in photos of ever Dean Koontz book I own. I don't know why I would want to do that... but... yeah.

Lessee... what can I scan? Be back in a minute.
