Demonic Gerbil

Played ye olde Call of Duty today. The early part of it, with the 101st Airborne guy was pretty fun, and Stalingrad was memorable, but the whole thing came off as kind of a disjointed wreck. Are the other games in the series like that, skipping around at random to different times and place?

10 hours, solo, pwning crap like whoa. Click on the thumbs if you want to see the ding and the 10 hour screenie.

I went into this expecting, I dunno, something a little like Outpost, but instead I got a game which... plays itself? Either that or the interface somehow is more obfuscated than Dwarf Fortress...

Food Network has this crazy 'Food Network Challenge' show where they make ridiculous themed cakes. And it's interesting to see what they come up with... but... to me, it doesn't really seem like a cake unless you can, y'know, eat the thing when you're done making it.

Left to go to the Fayette Mall in Lexington around 3:30. Hit the bank on the way out, literally drove around Lexington, had lunch at Tony Roma's (delicious noms I must eat them), visited Jo-Beth Booksellers, Whole Foods (the things I do for Cossie <3), the length of the Fayette Mall, bought a Madeline pan at Williams and Sonoma, then went grocery shopping at Meijer's.

It was a busy day with some company I rather enjoy.

"The Bard class is hands down the most technical and complex class available in Forsaken World. Alongside regular spellcasting, the Bard class is home to a unique system known as the Measure. This measure can be populated with music notes that are generated through spellcasting both in and out of spellcasting.

As the measure begins to fill, special buffs are cast that are directly dependant on the order of notes generated. This means that anyone playing a Bard has more to worry about than just spamming their skills - they need to plan ahead to create the proper set of notes for the correct buff at just the right time."

Someone get crackin' on putting that into the FFRPG, or one of its bastard offspring.

So, that weirdo was out again last night. We stalked him down the road (this time he had a trashbag). We actually went out driving to catch up with him, curious as to where he was 45 minutes after passing our window (answer: getting more trash into his trashbag of doom. Once we got back, we waited for him until returned (low light very red video in da house). Well, turns out he's the guy that lives at the end of our building. He also swept the driveway, went weeding around the mailbox, and generally creeped me out a whole lot. Is this weird?
