Obviously when you are playing a game like World of Warcraft, it is all consuming to the level that it begins to invade the other aspects of your life. It was a joy, as I talk about back in that old post, to be playing with my (now wife) then girlfriend and hear her make hideously accurate quillboar noises. Now it just invades my other thoughts such as when thinking about comic ideas and embarrasing situations, the kind of stuff I think about every waking hour of every day (naked troll women). Surely that will google us some excellent visitors!
I’m actually amazed that I didn’t see the news that Trogdor is going to be unlockable in Guitar Hero II in more places. As tired as the Homstarrunner stuff got from over-exposure, that song was just something out of heaven. Today’s Penny Arcade revealed some sad news to me that Gabe has mostly given up on Lost, though I admit this part of the current season is starting to ‘drag’, or just not picking up as much as the last two, but we have supreme faith in the writers at this point. The worse part of this, is that apparently Gabe, as well as almost everyone else I’ve even heard of, has fallen in love with Heroes. A show who’s first episode caused Becky and myself to convulse uncontrollably for minutes at a time. I’m determined to give it a second shot, as everyone claims it is so good, assuming I can somehow get my eyes on the episodes between the inital one and present day. If it is bad, rest assured, I will write a full analysis of why it sucks hardcore.
The other really awesome news about Guitar Hero 2 is that it will feature a song by Dethklok, the band from Metalocalypse. Both songs: genius.

The first episode or two of heroes is rather bad. But that’s mainly (in my opinion) due to the lousy background story on how they all just randomly get their powers. Perhaps they’ll come up with a better background story later but otherwise it’s become my favorite new show on tv.
And even if Lost ends up disappointing later on it’s a fun ride regardless.
I am actually pretty secure in assuming that Lost will in no way be disappointing in the future, it’s just right now that I’m worried about. Last night’s episode seemed, I hope, to mark a point where they’ll start getting back to the things that creeped us out so much in the first season, and just expand them with all the material that’s been developed in the year since.
It’s good to hear someone else agree that the first episode (at least) was bad, thanks Garyh!
I didn’t mind the first episode of Heroes, and have been mostly keeping up with it. The biggest problem I have with it is that only one of the main characters is a likable character that you really want to watch: Hiro. I’d much rather watch a show about a Japanese nerd who has the power to stop time and his work buddy.
The telepathic cop has been kinda fun too, and the cheerleader continues to border on the ridiculous… we’ll see. The show is hanging on by a thread for me, the bad becoming not worth putting up with for the good.
I’ll admit, I’ve been watching Heroes (mostly due to my roommate) and it’s kinda nice to get away from the comic book feel that dominates the genre of super powers. However, when the one guy stops time and comes back with a katana, that makes me see the comic book stuff rearing its head again.
For an interesting book on male sexuality and what a guy would really do with the ability to stop time check out “The Fermata”.
“Last night’s episode seemed, I hope, to mark a point where they’ll start getting back to the things that creeped us out so much in the first season, and just expand them with all the material that’s been developed in the year since.”
That’s how I feel, too. This season so far has been off, but it looks like things may get back on track soon.
Yeah, we’re just getting things started…We have some bad news for the fans though…
William Murderface Murderface Murderface has gone nuts, and his dorknob endorsement isn’t selling enough doorknobs, which is a bit of a bad fix fr him…
Skwisgaar Skwigelf as you all know, tasted some of my barbeque sauce (Explosion Sauce) and got some on his hands wen we tried to force his hands out of the crystal hand aquariums (which seemed really dumb at the time) and he had a horrible allergic reaction.
Pickles is still contemplating on ho to get more people to use nickels (apparently his face on them isn’t enough for this country) and he’s laying down beats for our next song bloodklok.
Toki, he slipped into a massive diabetic coma, so we don’t have eiter of our guitarists up and ready right now.
As for myself, I’m sitting in the main hall…playing video games and drinking barbeque sauce…I’m so bored right now…but trust me, the next show is gonna be great.

P.S. I’ve always hated my father. Explosion Sauce changed that…
Explosion Sauce. It’s good on it’s own!
