I never rent games! I'd rather wait until I can buy something outright than rent it.
The visual style of the game is very original. It's not cookie cutter at all

I like the visual style, too, which is partly why I find the game kind of disappointing. The first area is all pretty colors and anti-Elder Scrolls but then it's just either the same area repeatedly, places with blue skyboxes, or the same caves everywhere.

I got a chance to see the cancelled sequel to that game once.
Art style translated well to the Wii.

It was turned in to the last PoP game. The name escapes me, but it was made to coincide with the Sands of Time movie.
Oh, well I liked the Wii version of that game a lot. Best Prince game since Sands, imo.
I have no played the PS3 version yet.
It's really pretty well-received in general: http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/kingdoms-of-amalur-reckoning I didn't expect it to be so critically acclaimed.

I will get on later hopefully for a while since tomorrow is a holiday! I have an idea of what we are gonna do on the 23rd, and I need to practice because im pretty sure there is a stong possibility of explosions
It's a much better game than Skyrim.

Finagled my way onto the club lounge internets in the Dallas airport, but alas. RP TC is dead.

We've moved to IRC. It's easier.

Just curious, is there any of GAF in Hawaii? Oahu/Honolulu specifically?

I'm-a gonna be lazy about the Steampunk World's Fair, I think, and make a Victorian-era swimsuit. It'll still be a really useful test of my very raw handy-stitch skills, though.
On another note, I expect epic cosplay from you this year, ma'am.
We all want to be there. You have our envy.
Anyway,
"You're welcome to hoop with us."
"It's impossible for me to do that because I'm a nerd."
"I'm a nerd."
"I work in IT."
"I run a Linux neuroimaging lab. I outnerd you."
(the moral should be that you can do fun, active things, even if you have intellectual hobbies or jobs)
I still didn't manage to convince him to hit the hoops with us. It is a shame, because I think he really likes girls, and my hoop jams are generally girl-dominated. Still, he's aces in my book, because he helps run a charity to help prevent abuse of pitbulls and breed-discriminatory legislation.
So, pretty decent con. I didn't really go to much of the programming. I got staggeringly drunk on Friday, pissed off a friend by saying something pretty innocuous (she threw empty candy wrappers at me all Saturday in revenge but later felt bad about it, and we made up), spun two or three hoops for something like six hours, taught some tricks, had a box strapped to my pelvis that dispensed yummy treats to people, wore the pumpkin thing, and generally wandered around and stuff.
There was a tabletop gaming room, which also hosted some form of odd LARP wherein the battles were done via games of Rock-Paper-Scissors. The main brunt of the event consists of a shitton of performances by local circus performers, musicians, comedians, burlesque performers, magicians, and so on. There was a face and body painter who did pretty great work, lots of vendors selling mostly costume oriended things, the adult room with the cool suspension machine and the demos about how to do naughty things to people, the amazing head-scratching toy in the center of this page (oh, geez, it's like your head is experiencing an ongoing orgasm while you're using it!), a Never-Ending Tea Party (though, sadly, the tea heater did break on Sunday), and amazing amounts of fire performances, and acceptably debaucherous room parties (there's something special about a con when security freely trades flask tastings with random attendees)...
...all in all, what you'd expect from an East Coast nerd event.
Also, one of the parties had Doritos. Yummmm!

I tried to decipher GW's post and I failed.

The quotes were a discussion I was having with a friend whom I was trying to convince to come and hoop with my peeps. He was self conscious about his ability to hoop because he was a nerd. I tried to explain that I was an even greater nerd, thus proving that it was possible.
The rest of my post was more straightforward -- just chatter about the stuff I did at the Wicked Winter Renaissance Faire over the weekend.

Hooping is...basketball, right?
Because my initial thought was hula-hooping.

On only three glasses of wine, you should be pretty sober.
No, no, I was indeed talking about hula hooping. Do they refer to basketball as "hooping"? I know I've heard it called "hoops", but I didn't think that was common.
I don't really involve myself with competitive activities, so I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to sports terminology.

"glasses" is a relative term.
I have no real wine glasses, only normal ones

Aw you guys don't have to do anything but I would like to see everyone at least two of the nights I am in LA for some pool playing / food / alcohol.
Oh hells yes. There is a certain level of awesomocity to that picture. I love it.RNH:
And the one everyone has been waiting for, Dave (with Sumo):
It's a high level.
I wont be there, that's right smack dab in my 10th anniversary. I'd be beheaded if I left to go hang out with a bunch of people that aren't her.... but thanks for the invite.
