When you say Pizza Hut is coming to your home do you mean a Pizza Hut girl is doing delivery to your home? Or you now have a Pizza Hut IN your home because you felt you really needed one there? I hope your personal Pizza Hut has the $5 all you can eat lunch

10 bucks for any pizza so I got a super supreme with extra cheese stuffed crust!
BOOM.

[J Arcane]

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.

Fuck.

Fucking roommate ruins my $70 fucking pan, and then throws ME out.

I've theoretically got until the end of October, but I can't afford to put more money in a place I'm getting thrown out of, so I get to find another place in the next week and a half.

In the middle of the first week of school.

With no transportation.

Fucking son of a bitch.

Correct. It really is the only option. People who dislike Saints Row are NOT expressing their opinion but instead have to be inflicted with a malign and mysterious tumor-like growth impacting their fun-center like a proctologists finger impacts a colon. Both equal unfun times unless you like death or a finger up your rectum.
In no way does this statement have anything to do with the fact that I personally like Saints Row 3 and if you don't you are stupid.

Note to any parents-to-be: If someone recommends you get lots of sleep before the baby comes, FOR GOD'S SAKE LISTEN TO THEM!

Aye, definitely this. The other thing I have learned is that visitors are not interested in seeing you. My best nap was when my parents came to visit. I was awake for the first half hour of a 3 hour visit and napped past them even leaving.

But I love it and tonight is another long night of finalizing Kickstarter art and writing music. I actually need to get back to writing the game.

I am on the fence with Pizza Hut. It is very different from other pizza. I can't say I like the stuffed crust, but one of my guilty pleasures is their lunch buffet.

Good luck with Kickstarter, that Obsidian thing really sucks.

School ends this December, and I'd like to focus more on writing then. I think I'm like many dreamers who want to someday produce a book. Like many dreamers, I'm sure I'll eventually put it aside and forget about it.

I am working on what I want to do for NaNo. This is the first year I started planning way ahead. I'm stoked. This is the first project that I can actually see the completion of. On top of that I would love to try to get it published if I can get it to the point I have in my mind. I'm currently not going to say what the topic is yet, but I'll probably spill the beans later.

I'm glad that you decided to give it a chance. The game is just so fun. SR4 is easily one of my most anticipated titles.

Same thing here. Guilty pleasure for sure.

Thanks concerning the Kickstarter. Its been a blast. I really do realize I am a project person through and through. Have not been this happy since I planned that execution in Guam.
It isn't perfect, it isn't the best thing in the world, but it is pure crushed up fancy fucking passion mixed with more than a little pure Karak blood in the way of time and effort.

So therfore it appears to be worth around 2,800 bucks.

Hahahahahaha.

[J Arcane]

Well, I've now spend the last hour or so emailing or texting every decent place within my price and distance range on Craigslist. Got a few numbers I need to call too when it's not so late, and one of them is sort of a friend of a friend, so that might give me a bonus there.

Fingers crossed I find something quick, but then, I usually do. People like to hear words like "ASAP" and "cash in hand." Even from someone with no decent rental history.

I started playing The Saboteur after Killalon the optional DLC boss from Lost Odyssey tortured, raped, maimed, drawn and quartered burned the remains and pissed on my remaining ashes. Yes he beat me... bad. After I almost had him too, and I even read a guide before battling him. I guess I really needed that Reduce Casting Time 3 skill. But I don't have the patience to get to him again, as it takes a while and there are NO save points. Fuckin' JRPG's are brutal sometimes.

Ya so that's when I shut off Lost Odyssey and went to the Saboteur. Can't remember it being this fun the first time but it definitely picks up later. So much to do in it.

I wouldn't expect anything less from you than a supreme stuffed pizza. ADD used to love Pizza Hut. We hit one for lunch not to long ago, but she was a bit disappointed. We do have one near us so we might try the lunch buffet again when she gets a day off during the week.

I remember back in the 80's when PH wasn't the big chain it is now, my cousin introducing them to me in Maryland. I am a pizza lover of any kind. I mean i'll eat "boardwalk" pizza and enjoy it. So finding them in the '80s, man I loved PH. I'd still go to their buffet to enjoy one but I have a really good pizza place that I can walk to so no ordering in for PH. Of course if I lived near you, I would just walk up to your window and order a PH pizza since you built a PH in your home

So much the reason I love your humor and the conversations we have anywhere.

I think Saboteur was the game Karak and I bonded over. I really liked the game and it's one of those "lost and forgotten" treasures in this generation of games. I talked about it enough that Gen X played it and I thought enjoyed it. Part of the fun for me was the different ways to complete a mission. I tried stealth on most of the missions half the time failing and being chased by Germans but that was half the fun. Losing them in a car or by foot...fun times.

[J Arcane]

Ouch. Good luck with this J.

Fortunately, the idiot sprang this on me after I got my financial aid, but before I paid next month's rent.

So fuck him. He wants me out, I'm gone. I've got two places I'm looking at tomorrow, and a lot of feelers in the water as well, so I should have no problem finding somewhere else, maybe even somewhere cheaper.

He can keep the damn deposit. $150 I already spent is cheaper than $400 I haven't.

I know I said this when I was playing, but SR3's soundtrack during story missions is brilliant. I don't think I've ever seen another game where the licensed music was so integral to the experience other than, duh, rhythm games.

[Xydarc]

SR3 was the best purchase I made from the Steam summer sale.

So what do I get to do first on my birthday? Play the waiting game for my copy of Borderlands 2. Looks like I'll be able to get some GW2 today.

The bad parent I am, I have been letting my son play Sleeping Dogs just so he can cruise around and see the city. He is only 3. Well, he found the kick button and now attacks innocents and will even cruise around looking for victims. Then he has to escape from the cops. He came out the other night and said the cops arrested him and my wife had no idea what he was talking about.

Today we found out my son was at daycare threatening his friends, saying he was going to punch them. So I think we need to find a new game for him or I will be raising a psychopath.

Outside of missions, Sleeping Dogs isn't violent as I told my wife. But if you go around punching innocent people then yeah, it can be. He was just supposed to drive around but noooo, he had to learn the controls, the little sneak. Now he dives out of cars as they speed down the road and when I asked why he did that he said, "I want to beat this guy up."

Nice. I will get DotY for sure now.

[Gorvi]

I played a bit of Uncharted 3 last night, probably because I'm looking forward to finally playing Uncharted: Golden Abyss tonight. It should actually be delivered today, so I doubt I'll be playing anything else until I've played through that twice.

[Karak]

Another good thing about Saints Row 3.
You can have the zombie voice through the entire game. And he even sings along with the songs...so brilliant.

@Purple concerning Pizza hut
I have never enjoyed a pizza from a pizza shop. Like the ones that are specialized or really popular in towns. They always taste terrible to me, I am sure the reverse is true for others. But Eugene/Springfield/Corvallis have various pizza places that are adored in prayer-like whispers by the people here and each time I eat it some dude wants to put a damn artichoke on my pizza...what?

See to me a pizza deserves meat and cheese, and thickness and all that. It doesn't deserve the disservice of covering its delightfully shiny face with artichokes, sardines, banana slices, spinach, or anything from Trader Joes. Obviously smaller places have more mundane pizza's like that but I still haven't found one as good as piping hot pan pizza. It helps that the pizza place is only like 4 feet from my house. So they arrive searing with the heat of a small sun, the pop is chilled, the bread-sticks still bubbling with cheesy lactose cheese.

I find that pizza is a wide range of things. I love me a good slice of pepperoni, but will try almost anything. Give me paper thin or so thick that you have to eat it with a fork and knife. One of the best pizzas I ever ate was clam, garlic, and cheese. I think there is a right time and place for any pizza/topping (except sardines, screw those nasty little salt licks).

Apparently having a manual release on disc drives today is too much to ask, so I had to disassemble my entire blu-ray player to get my copy of Cabin in the Woods back. The disc looked okay at first, but now I see that it has a little fucked up notch on the outer ring of the disc.

SR3 news.

I laughed so hard during the pony cart chase sequence that I almost cried. "They explode!" I squealed, as I gasped for breath from laughing.

I played the first few missions with two different characters. I started off with a Hispanic chick, but I dumped her when I decided she didn't quite click. I went with a dude with the default voice. It's cool that different voices say different stuff. The best example is the sequence where you're singing along to Sublime with Pierce. The Latina girl sang along perfectly. The white guy kept messing up the fast part of the song, which was hilarious.

Ya SR has it right. They have dialed in a good deal of the humor and they know that tying the humor into the game is what makes it click. If they just had the dude being a typical white guy who maybe said some one liners it would not hit as hard as him interacting with the world(the singing). It is amazing.

Saints Row 3 is the best sequel to GTA: San Andreas ever.
