...I feel like I've just binge-drunk my way through a party hosted by mirth and Starfury and woken up on the side of the interstate with someone else's pants and sore parts of my body that should never be sore.

Weekend at Mirthfury's ;)

Can't be. The presence of pants, even someone else's, rules out any party thrown by Star&Mirth.

I collect them and hang them in my basement. It's my "precious" room.

That's if we could have basements in Houston, which we don't. Sigh.

Going pants-less is simply not an option when it's -6 degrees (F) out.  F*** me.  :buck2: 




I've not even bothered with a "no purchasing new video games" resolution, as I know there's already a few titles coming this year I'll likely be getting.  Stardrive II is almost certainly a day-one purchase for me; and unless it's a complete failure, I'll probably be getting Attila Total War as well.  Grand Ages: Medieval also looks very interesting.

It's -10 degrees now.  I've switched to pajamas & slippers, as I'll be going to bed soon.  (I'm in the middle of a rare three-day stretch off, so I'm actually keeping the same hours as you day-walkers.)

We're getting the brutal cold here over the next few days. Damn, I hate wearing pants.

It's 58 here in Fla. Opps... Sorry that's 85. My bad. Mowing the grass tomorrow, afterwards a drink and a dip in the pool. Just curious, how do you northeners find your mailboxes in 5ft of snow? For that matter, how do you find your mailmen in 5ft. of snow?  :2funny:

We had a big freeze over here yesterday, here's what it looks like outside.  You don't need skates to play hockey on the street :)

Narrowly avoided buying Reccettear (or however it's spelled), even though I was reminded of its existence in a post-sale-sale at Steam, and even though it's quite accurately described as the world's most realistic fantasy Jew loli simulator (for some values of those terms).

STILL GAME FREE! STILL GAME FREE! (Partly because I convinced myself I remembered buying already on a GG sale and was just too lazy to check until 'later'.)

When I got around later to checking if I already owned... whatever that game was... I discovered I had sometime in the past accidentally bought a GG copy of Ascension to the Throne.

Yes. I own two copies of this game. This game.

This is why I need to put a morturary... um.... mortatori... ..... an ARTY MORTY on buying new games. {/obscureMichaelCaineref}



In related news, I am offering a free Gamersgate edition of Ascension to the Throne for anyone who would like to be see if they, too, will be surprisingly addicted to this free-roaming tactical strategy fantasy game.  :)
