on mech commander gold.

+ 2 vultures and 3 uller J's salvaged. and a shit ton of vendor trash inner sphere salvage from about 10 captured warehouses.

christ that was hard. I'd show the screenshot but apparently the game is so old it is not only not alt+tab friendly but also not print screen friendly. basically, I had 3 elite pilots, all of them with half health by the end, with a combined 40 kills on that one mission. and a refit truck that was 2/3's dead (it uses up health to repair the others)

I thought you'd be HAPPY. jesus CHRIST.

V marathon tomorrow @ 8 on ABC in preparation for the next season. if you don't know what V is, it's about Morena Baccarin playing a hot alien lizard queen and plotting to take over the earth. If you don't know who morena baccarin is, uh, just watch V.

Podskin People wish to inform you that they'd rustle her dorsal fronds in the gates of the Great Nest.

<Liz>: hi llamavore
<llamavore>: hi liz
<llamavore>: merry christmas
<Liz>: You too llamavore, how are you?
<llamavore>: not bad, woke up at 6
<llamavore>: so I'm modding simcity 4
<llamavore>: what about you
<Liz>: Eh, avoiding my dogs whines.
<Liz>: The cat is taunting him at the moment by walking by his crate.
<Liz>: But it's still sleep time for him, can't let him out yet or it'll mess up his schedule.
<llamavore>: fucking cats
<llamavore>: always starting shit
<Liz>: Indeed.
<llamavore>: swishing their tails like douches
<Liz>: I used to really like cats. But now that I have one of each in my own house...
<Liz>: I can't stand this bitch.
<Liz>: But she's been around for 6 years so I can't very well let her outside and turn my back on her :p
<llamavore>: bunch of pricks is what they are
<Liz>: lol
<llamavore>: I can still smell the cat pee in pillows sometimes from a cat I had 2 years ago
<Liz>: Yeah, anything she pees on I have to throw away or else the dog will do it.
<llamavore>: lmao
<llamavore>: she's a bad influence on your dog
<Liz>: Meh, he's just territorial.
<llamavore>: that's just the excuse she uses
<Liz>: She poops in the shower if I don't keep her litter box emaculate. It's a bit ridiculous.
<llamavore>: you underestimate your cat's dickishness
<Liz>: Oh she's a total cunt.
<Liz>: If I walk away from food i'm cooking
<Liz>: she'll take it and run under the sofa with it.
<Liz>: In the pan or not.
<Liz>: she run through the living room with a half cooked chicken breast before.
<llamavore>: that's the kind of cat that would make me look into asian lean cuisine recipes
<llamavore>: if you know what I mean
<Liz>: rofl
<Liz>: She eats my left over chinese.
<Liz>: I feel slightly wrong about that.
<Liz>: But I do it anyway.
<llamavore>: yeah it's funny how people get so fucked up about people eating cats
<llamavore>: when cats don't give a fuck about eating cats
<Liz>: lol
<llamavore>: pass the duck sauce
<llamavore>: swish swish
<Liz>: I'd never eat my cat. lol :p
<llamavore>: that's why she gets away with shit
<llamavore>: she knows
<llamavore>: you have to reason with animals on their level
<llamavore>: if you're not willing to eat them, they aren't going to listen to you
<llamavore>: at least the carnivores
<llamavore>: they're probably good in sausages
<llamavore>: chances are you've had some cat before if you like sausages
<Liz>: XD
<Liz>: I don't eat pork or sausage really.
<Liz>: I'm a chicken steak or lobster type of person.
<llamavore>: then, my friend
<llamavore>: it is time you kept chicken, cow, or lobsters as pets
+++ ChanServ has given halfop to im317[ria]
<llamavore>: they won't fuck up your shower
<llamavore>: well
<llamavore>: lobsters at least
<llamavore>: when you keep animals for nothing other than their company, they get a bitchy sense of self entitlement
<llamavore>: moth
<llamavore>: moth
<Liz>: lol
<Liz>: The dog is totally fine.
<Liz>: It's just the damn cat.
<llamavore>: I have 2 dogs, they're good guys
<llamavore>: the main thing that makes them better is dogs are pack animals
<llamavore>: whereas cats, aside from lions, are stuckup loners
<Cpt[GOD]zilla>: dude
<Cpt[GOD]zilla>: take your dogs over to moth's house
<Cpt[GOD]zilla>: i heard he loves dogs
<llamavore>: I heard that too
<llamavore>: based on what I heard
<llamavore>: I would never take my dogs over there
<llamavore>: maybe cats though

<Cpt[GOD]zilla>: haha
<Cpt[GOD]zilla>: i used to MSN with moth

<Liz>: Zilla, who IS moth?
<llamavore>: moth is you.
<Liz>: and llamavore why are you always looking for moth? :p
<llamavore>: moth is me.
<llamavore>: moth is all of us.
<Cpt[GOD]zilla>: ^
<Cpt[GOD]zilla>: although
<llamavore>: why am I looking for myself, you mean?
<Cpt[GOD]zilla>: moth probably needs a haircut
<llamavore>: I like my hair long
<llamavore>: fuck you
<Cpt[GOD]zilla>: dude
<Cpt[GOD]zilla>: have you seen moth's hair?
<llamavore>: it's not girly if it makes girls horny
<llamavore>: no, lol
<Cpt[GOD]zilla>: it's kinda like troy polamolu, yet not as sexy
<llamavore>: I don't know what he looks like, and I was under the impression he was a dogophile
<llamavore>: that's what I heard from kenny at least
<llamavore>: maybe kenny was projecting, he does think he's a fox
<Cpt[GOD]zilla>: well
<Cpt[GOD]zilla>: http://gremlindog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/troy-polamalu.bmp <--- imagine that hair
<llamavore>: yes, it's all becoming clear.
<Cpt[GOD]zilla>: but more.... spread out everywhere
<llamavore>: moth is black?
<Cpt[GOD]zilla>: no
<Cpt[GOD]zilla>: but he has black person hair
<llamavore>: ok
<llamavore>: my reality was almost turned upside down
<llamavore>: relieved
<llamavore>: oh really?
<Cpt[GOD]zilla>: but he is deathly afraid of dogs
<llamavore>: hm
<llamavore>: liz, moth is or was a member of the RIA
<llamavore>: I don't see him on the forums
<Cpt[GOD]zilla>: llamavore, what if i told you that moth is middle eastern?
<llamavore>: but back in the day he made regular appearances to bitch about numbers and alliance statistics
<llamavore>: I'd be mildly surprised, but they did invent algebra
<Cpt[GOD]zilla>: moth absolutely hates me
<Cpt[GOD]zilla>: and he is also still in RIA
<llamavore>: I wonder why my summoning hasn't worked
<Liz>: Oh mmmk
<llamavore>: maybe my approach is all wrong
<llamavore>: and I should talk about alliance statistics and the extinction of dogs
<llamavore>: liz, are you marrying some dude you met on CN
<Liz>: Not that I know of.
<Liz>: I've never met someone from CN actually.
<llamavore>: seems like something you should be certain of
<llamavore>: were you dating someone from CN or was that a joke
<Liz>: No lol Never dated someone from CN.
<llamavore>: not even diplomatic cybering?
<llamavore>: must have been another liz
<Liz>: Perhaps. I was married until recently so I can assure you, it was not I. :p
<llamavore>: oh cmon, marriage doesn't stop people
<llamavore>: but ok
<llamavore>: I believe you but I think it's funny that you think that would assure me
<Liz>: lol ok
<llamavore>: where you from, UK?
<Liz>: Nope. US.
<llamavore>: hmkay
<llamavore>: guess my britdar was off
<llamavore>: moth
<llamavore>: moth
<Cpt[GOD]zilla>: moth hates me

and why can't I play in the arcade

just saw it

action factor: good, the movie is not just a dumb testosterone fest but the action develops with purpose.

suspense factor: average, but good at some parts

coolness factor: very good, excellent at some parts

cliche factor: bearable and the characters aren't so stereotyped as to be boring, but stereotyped enough to be funny in a way.

unexpected death factor: not as much as some of the other movies but still good.


--spoilers follow, but no major plot spoilers.--

Main Complaint: in the dialogue, they advance the characters' awareness of what's going on, too quickly. the writers could have milked more out of the situation by realistically prolonging people's realization of this fucked up scenario. but, other parts of the dialogue are pretty good, so it's ok.

the premise as you've probably gathered from teh previews, is that they were selected, abducted, and brought to the planet (actually a moon I think). now the great thing about a plot like this is you can explain a lot of weird shit like 'why is it they could all speak english' oh because the aliens picked them out that way so they could communicate better and work as a team. it also explains why there are apparently some terran plantlife there, if the aliens have been doing this a long time they may have added plants and animals from various planets to make it more interesting.

things to look for when you see it:

I know from seeing it that there are/were Aliens (xenomorph, Aliens Trilogy type aliens) on the planet. how do I know this? there's a chestbursted corpse in one scene.

There's a new type of alien; no not the Aliens kind, and not the Predator kind, nor related to the Predator kind. It is delivered to the preserve in much the same fashion as the humans; but its plot significance is nil, so I wonder if they're establishing it for later movies. it does add to the chaotic, don't know what to expect feeling of the movie.

laurence sea kittenburne's character is awesome. I have no idea what he was eating or how he survived that long on the planet, but I suspect he had to eat other creatures/people which were delivered there to supplement his diet of strange alien fruits and shit. or who knows, maybe the predators drop in food and ammo too.

and at one point a character quotes hemingway, and yes it's a quote from hemingway, he's not oxshitting.

but I work better and more creatively with others than by myself. anyone know any good sites for collaborations of this nature.

also, naked alien boobs. that's why the dvds will sell. so far there's nothing on Rule #34 site based on it but give it a few days at the most.
