    Im at a Super Bowl party, with a bunch of little kids, and one teenager who believes graphics are the only key things about games.

    I asked him if that is the case then how did pacman sell so well, and I still havent been given an answer.:D

    Alright, who else here can't give two shits about the Super Bowl. I'm calling today Super Sunday because I'm spending it with scifi, games, anime and the purchasing of a new Android phone!

    I don't care about the football. I'll still watch it, but for the commercials.

    Is it just a cold, or did you catch something worse?

    My cousin's coming over to watch the game with my dad. If I'm lucky, his Xbox is coming with him so I can play Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood in the basement. Otherwise...I'll be sitting right here, doing something.

    Super Bowl commercials are the stuff of legend...supposedly. They're the most viewed and most expensive advertising space in America, so the companies tend to go all out on them and make them as entertaining as possible. I used to watch them but now I don't really care so much.

    PROTIP: If the Xbox doesn't come, drive to some place fun and forget that the Sportsball Bowl even exists!

    Just a tenacious little cold, but I'm going to whinge about it like it's TB.

    Whinging!? I love to whinge! You're probably a pro at it, though.

    mc_scoobydoopack_creeper.jpg

    The Creeper is not yet programmed in with its custom behavior and stuff, simply because I haven't figured out what kind of behavior it should get. It's faster than the other two mobs, though, and his speed will remain consistent, even when its strength level is higher.

    Anyway, here's a question for you guys while I work on preparing the Creeper with custom behavior and crap.

    What should I be making next?

    You'll have the choice between the following things:

    The Skeleton Men
    These Skeleton Men will be unusual mobs, in that instead of just one, a maximum of three can be seen at once in your world. Also, it's also the only mob that requires at least three different skins instead of just one.

    Daphne Blake
    A friendly mob, and when she's killed, she can be seen again at spawn, like the other friendly mobs. She actually has two forms: When giving her enough of a certain item, probably diamond, she'll occasionally transform into Crush, who is more competent than regular Daphne.

    Vincent Van Ghoul
    A neutral mob. He's basically immortal, and when you attack him, he kills you dead. Other than that he does absolutely jack.

    Velma Dinkley
    When given enough tools (not weapons), she'll randomly drop craftable items. The better the item, the rarer it drops, and, the more often it drops, the less likely it will drop again.

    Alice May
    Alice May will start off as Alice May during the day, and acts like a neutral mob, but once it's night, she'll turn into her ghost form, a hostile mob. When attacked during the day as Alice May, she'll attack you back. When you kill her in this form, you won't get any items.

    That implies you don't care about bowls.

    To those of you who are interested and have been discussing Kingdom Hearts lately: Here's something I did for the hell of it over the past three months while working my way through the series. Thought you guys might like to see it.

    To those of you who couldn't care less about Kingdom Hearts: This is what OCD looks like! Also, further proof that I am one sad geek.

    Actually it is, because they're trying to shoot it one handed and one lady smacked herself in the forehead, and I couldn't contain my laughter.

    Don't know why but I'm really missing being in the military.

    If people are stupid enough to waste money on a Desert Eagle (for those not in the know, it's woefully impractical and a 1911 does the same thing for much, much less) chances are that they're too stupid to care about... y'know... hitting targets. This is how dirt shooting was invented.

    I completely agree with you, I love the 1911, and it's sad to see it replaced by a 9mm as sidearm for the armed forces. In my personal opinion I think the Deagle is overrated and the 1911 is under.

    Amen to all of that.

    Also, 9mm is a pretty much worthless round and I have no idea why all the militaries are so quick to adopt it. If it's a metric standards thing, why not use the 10mm?

    Honestly the way it was explained to us when we had our Pistol Qual, was that the 1911 was far to inhumane and that the 9mm had equal fire power(lies.) and because of the bigger clip and the less expensive ammunition.

    Oh, that's what it boils down to - price. They'll make up anything if it's financially beneficial. What branch were you, if you don't mind my asking?

    I don't know anything about guns, so explain to me how one pistol can be more humane than the other. :confused:

    It has to do with pain and wound trauma. The Hague Convention (I think) - to which the US is a party - expressly prohibits ammunition specifically designed to cause severe pain, dismemberment and unusual suffering in enemy combatants for use by a nation's armed forces. This means we can't use hollow points, flachettes or expanding rounds in a military capacity. I suppose someone thought the 1911's .45 ACP round was more painful than the 9mm. Hell, it probably is. I'd find a side by side comparison of the round size if I weren't so lazy.

    Has anyone played Agatha Christie Evil Under The Sun? for Wii/Pc I wanna know if its any good.

    I have it for PC and absolutely loved it! I am biased because I really do like Poirot. I thought the interactions between Poirot and Hastings were really funny. I got stuck a few times, but that's usual for me. If you like Poirot, I think you'll like the game...

    Oh wow, I was just looking at this game yesterday. Reviews generally say it has nice graphics and voice acting, and a great storyline (I'd hope so, coming from an Agatha Christie novel). Apparently though the puzzles are not great - lots of fetch quests, random inventory combinations and boring backtracking (simple to figure out what you need to do, takes a long time to actually do it). And Poirot is a kleptomaniac who breaks into people's hotel rooms to nick stuff without cause.

    Awww :( Poirot is never a klepto, just.... always prepared!

    Dude, Japan totally has us beat when it comes to snowmen. I saw a snow Shyguy, a snow Totoro, several snow Choppers (from One Piece) and a snow Luffy. Heck, there was even a snow Mr. Potato Head and a snow Timon and Pumbaa.

    Contemplating making a snow Max ala the one from Surfin' the Highway.

    Decided to mess around a bit on the guitar today.
    Decided to record meself, (I haven't done it in a long time), and I must say I have improved quite a bit since my last recording.

    (I also apologise for the mistakes. For some reason I make more of them when I record myself... :/ (even the ones I've practised daily that I know off by heart!)
