Scribblenauts

So I purchased this game for DS called Scribblenauts yesters. You have to write words, then whatever you wrote comes to appears and you use whatever you make to collect a star and beat the level! To use some 90's lingo, the gam is "rad". I played for six hours yesterday and another today already (it's morning now) and will play some more latter. You can do stuff like:

• Make an economist, give them a shotgun, make a liger, then they fight.
• Create a tux, tophat and pennyfarthing and ride it around.
• Get a sloth, glue a propellor to its head and fly around on it's back.
• Make a geographer get mauled by a pack of wolves

It's fun!

Marvel!

I purchased this game called Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 (MUA2). It is, to use a 90's adjective, rad. I've been reading comics on and off pretty much since before I could read but haven't really for the last six years or so. I'll occasionaly see some comic related movie and want to start collecting them again, but then remember how desperatly poor and handsome I am and think the better of it. Anyway...

MUA2 is rad, like you can be thor and smash shit up with your hammer, then switch to spiderman and web stuff, then change to gambit and throw cards at people, laser things as iron man, etc etc. Total nerdgasm type stuff. Zap, web, punch, smash. Words cannot describe.. well I guess they can as that is what I am trying to do here, I'm sleepy and can only think in cliches, sorry. Well not really. Ummm so yea.

It was so much fun it somehow it tricked me into subscribing to marvels digital comic service. It lets you read old comics that have been scanned on line. I've spent the weeking reading the ultimates, moon knight, ms marvel, silver surfer. It's been... good? I'm out of words, sorry. Oh yea, MUA2 doesn't have silver surfer in it, or the punisher, or magneto, so it's pretty much missing heaps of good characters. Also there are new ones in it who I had never heard of. It insults me that marvel dare invent new characters rather than use the same ones they've been using for the past 50 years.

I didn't even spellcheck this post, aren't you lucky

Final blog post

I'm stopping this blog to let me work full time with MR.CHAO WEI, Bank of China (Hongkong), which I assume is the name of the bank. In china they must give banks proper names to make them seem friendly. Also, MR.CHAO WEI, Bank of China (Hongkong) is emailing me with some kind of student account from england somewhere. I guess the financial crisis is affecting MR.CHAO WEI, Bank of China (Hongkong) so bad that he had to resort to using his old student email when he was a women named Natalie.

Anyway, I will be too busy handling my US$18,600,000.00 business with MR.CHAO WEI, Bank of China (Hongkong) to update this blog.

Goodbye for ever.

Finally after that I shall provide you with more details.

Like a Viking, touched for the very first time

I got some mead. I have never tried it before and it was at the shops so I bought some. I think it's a cool drink cause of the Vikings used to drink mead and the Vikings are pretty cool for dudes with long hair. It was originally made buy getting girls to put honey in there mouths and spit it into a bucket (or whatever the Vikings used for buckets). Then it sat there for a while and eventually turned into mead. Or so a book I may have read told me when I was little. The website of the manufactures says “It is the essence of Mead and a stand-alone fortified drink. Mead at its absolute best!”, but it didn't tell me how to drink it so I'm thinking a glass.



I think it smells like jim bean, gross. Maybe a little spicy too. It looks pretty much like any other spirit type drink. Taste is pretty weird, not too unpleasant, rather sweet and spicy. I don't know how much I could drink as it's kinda thick. (My evocative descriptions doing anything for you?) I'll probably go the pansy route and mix it with lemonade.

That first picture is maybe a little small

One whole year!

This blog has been has been around for a whole year, I feel like a proud mother. So many good times. Remember that month when I updated more than twice, good times good times. To celebrate lets play a fun game! It's called...

Romulan or Australian Politician!!!!


It's easy, simple guess which of the following are Romulans, the bad dudes from beyond the neutral zone, and which are Australian politicians, the bad dudes from Australia.

Number 1

Number 2

Number 3

Number 4

Do, do, do, do (I don't know how to write game show music but that was my attempt)

Times up.

Did you guess number 4? If so then you are correct!!!!
If not then too bad.

Number 1: Don't let the haircut fool you she is human under there, it's Senator the Hon Penny Wong, Minister for Climate Change and Water

Number 2: This is a tricky one as she is actully half Human and half Betazoid, but not Romulan. The picture is from an episode were she had to get surgically altered to look like a Romulan.

Number 3: Perhaps the hardest one to pick, but it is form Prime Minister John Howard. I know, I know, the scowl and eyebrows, but the Romulans are not evil enough to produce anythign as vile as WorkChoices.

Number 4: Is Romulan!

Well wasn't that fun.


Satire or spitefulness, you decide

Coraline

I went to see some Coraline movie in 3D at a place far away because all the movies here are too old to be able to play 3D movies. You get to wear silly glasses and get a headache, it's great. Like being drunk without the benefit of feeling like the most witty person alive. While there I found everyone's favorite decapodian in bobble-head form.



I don't really know why I have to buy stuff this. It must be some kind of deep-seeded emotional and psychological problem that manifests itself through the purchase of plastic crap based on cartoons and star wars. Plus the packet looks pretty cool, retro-futurism type stuff. The sides of the box tell us that it is "Amazingly life-like for a chunk of plastic" and that "the brain slug who controls you says to collect them all". Which of course doesn't make sense as the brainslugs in the show never actually talked to the person they controlled.



"We favor unusually large subsidies to the brain slug planet" The others seem to be Leela, Fry and Bender. At the places I looked there was no bender and the other two did not look so good. Hence the buying of only Zoidberg.


Can you even read the back? Maybe if your eyes are better than mine. It's not very funny so I wouldn't bother. Here he is out of his shell, but still in his shell (ha!).


He looks kind of cross eyed and wonky so I'm going to keep him in his box. What I really like about him is that he reminds me of my favourite Futurama episode "The Farnsworth Parabox" which includes, amongst other things a breif foray into a parrel world populated by bobble-headed poeple.

Squirrelcat lives!

I found a new species of animal that I have named the Squirrelcat (squirrelus catyus). The Squirrelcat is about the size of a squirrel and has a light grey colouration sometimes accompanied by a mottled pattern. It has the head of a kitty and a bushy ail like squirrels do in cartoons. I haven’t seen a real squirrel this week so I don’t know how realistic they are. Running along both sides are skin flaps which squirrelcats use to glide and generally make themselves hard to catch. If one is managed to be caught they often omit a purring sound, not unlike a regular cat or Simba from The Lion King. If you wish to catch a glimpse of a squirrelcat then you must only attend the dream I had a few days ago.
