Buon Natale!

Hope everybody has a great Christmas :DDD

Buon Natale! Eat lots and enjoy whatever pressies you get. I'll be pawing over my Kindle and browsing later at night for the first psychology books to get for it :D

Fucking government.

Found the Australian Internet Censorship petition, and stamped my user-info with a button.

Krudd, what the FUCK are you smoking?

You cannot fucking censor the goddamn internet. We'll look at what we fucking want; within the guidelines of the law. Go spend all our dollars on actually prosecuting pedophiles, instead of a blanket ban on anything to do with drugs, crime, and violence, that's fictional. You've including games made for those OVER the age of 16 under the blanket ban, FFS!

It's up to the individual parent to censor the internet for the kiddies, and it's up to you to properly deal with pedos. You can't solve the problem by saying right, the entirety of the Aussie pop are pedos, so let's censor every site, video-game and movie too to make sure we're safe!

Why can't we make our own decisions as to what content we can look at? Why are you adding blgos and e-mails into the ban? Does this mean all of us can't write one bloody blog post or email about, SHOCK, violence, or criminal psychology, or a movie that had a drug scene in it, or a role-play thread because somewhere out there it would be considered inappropriate for a 5 year old?

You're wasting our money on a scheme that's so flawed and illogical, and taking away our freedom of speech/looking-at-sites&playing-video-games instead of looking at the bigger picture. I hope whoever fucking voted for Krudd the cowardly lion gets hit by a goddamn bus.

Harry Potter & HBP: meh =/

I finished watching the HBP movie, and.. I don't know. Sad to say that I didn't like it.

Splurgin', Arkham & ...more comics.

Bought a big stack of brand new comics 5 minutes ago :D 2 belong to Kef, but the rest are mine. My collection feels empty after no longer being able to add 10 new issues to it every other week. Fuck you, DC. You and your R.I.P 'canon' SL and generally your shitty writers of all things.

Can't wait for Arkham 2 to come out. Whenever it's coming out. I signed up for updates; apparently it's down, though. Anyone else have problems with signing up?

Printed comics today to laminate at home. I was pissed last night because CDB was down, again, so I couldn't continue cataloging. I didn't catalogue here because I was busy printing.

Watched Kef play more of Dragon Age, jolly good fun. Stupid thief. Mages > thieves. >)

Watched Star Trek 09 movie, and watching the Transformers sequel tonight. Remembered that the Half-Blood Prince is out, so I need to get my hands on that one too.

Arkham Asylum 1 & 2 + Weekend

Started a new game of Arkham Asylum the other day and finished it last night. It will be another big disappointment if the sequel's ending is just as cliche/tacky. The cameo of Sionis, The Iceberg Lounge (yet again) plus others is certainly promising :D :D :D

I for one, am NOT looking forward to the possibiity of Nightwing or a Robin being incorporated into the franchise. Robin by name was good enough for #1. I don't want to see or hear a Robin. Nightwing on the other hand, is worse. Whiny little bitch that he is =/

Weekend! Comics and Photoshop and movie marathons. Watching Kef continue his game of Dragon's Age; I haven't continued my own save because the story so far is nearly exactly the same, so it's like watching Kef's play through as a rerun.

The cyclone has disappeared. :D It's headed well into WA over near Perth. It went up to a category 5, but bumped back down again to a category 4. It's nearly Christmas, and I'm hoping another one won't arise over this next week.

Been thinking about PS CS4 (or CS5 when it comes out), and weighing the pros and cons of getting a Windows version for my laptop at home, or getting a Mac version to use on Kef's Mac. I might get a... Mac, because I'll do more at his place than at home, and Elements has 99% of what CS has to offer, save for channels, mask, the nifty pen tool, and some other 'tiny' things that I so desperately want. I am not buying two $500 CS4s just because I use PS on Macs and PCs.

I posted some more shit into Arcanum, fixed up some of the older entries with updated!updates, yadda yadda. Updated Mikado's test layout too, Chaos, so that's another zillionth thing you need to take a look at.

IAB is quiet at the moment for me; waiting up on Lethe to get back with musing and whatnot after exams is over. My christmas 'break' won't make any difference to me; every day is the same :D Comics, PS, typing shit. And scanning, too! I still haven't finished printing and laminating my golden age issues.  I need to get back to doing that so maybe I'll be done by New Year.



EDIT: Ganked from Amy. :D
Dear Santa...

Dear Santa,

This year I've been busy!

Last Wednesday I caught a purse-snatcher who stole [info]meowvatar's purse (30 points). In September I bought porn for [info]ledgerjokersues (10 points). In April I helped [info]kaijou_jaguclaw hide a body (-173 points). In November I signed my organ donor card (28 points). In July I punched [info]egyptianchaos in the arm (-10 points).

Overall, I've been naughty (-115 points). For Christmas I deserve a moldy sandwich!

Sincerely,
project_mugetsu

Arkham Asylum 2

Been watching the Arkham Aslum 2 trailer for a while now, and I've got to say this: FUCKING EPIC.

We've all died and gone to heaven. At least, I know I have. :DDDDDDD

Harley and Joker are back, along with the other villains! Hopefully Ivy, Scarecrow, etc are included, but I wouldn't care if Croc wasn't brought back, or Bane for that matter.

Titan looks like it's still the main plotdevice. =| Uhhuh. Like it was an original, good idea to begin with, WB/Rocksteady.

The trailer. is. fucking epic. I love it so hard. The game is going to be breathtakingly awesome and milkshakes.

Biased here; it would be win if man-bat was introduced, along with Black Mask, etc.

God damn it. D= Fighting off the urge for an Arkham game. Where's my Harley when I need one? Anna was the best one. D= No one can top her Harley. Fuck IJ's RP community. The half that's made of fandom hoppers and shady janes/joes.

So many great cameos/stuff in the trailer. The cosmetics warehouse is win. Still amusing that the ending sequence in Arkham 1 kind of contradicted what happened to the island in the storyline, but great that they've caught this plothole and .. well, moved Arkham Asylum.

Yes, yes, fuck yes. I cannot wait for this game.

Two reasons to use my Ace icons in one day. Wow.

The Goverment is aiming to censor teh Internetz over here by banning sites that contain nasty things like drug use, sex, and the more realistic nasty shit like beastiality and kiddie porn.

What. The. Fuck.

Why the fuck are you big brother-ing the internet for Australia, Krudd!? Why must you censor practically the whole Internet with the justification to protect innocent eyes and a 'caring society'?

It is not going to work. I don't know how an INDEPEDENT BODY can screen websites and tell Optus to block X sites.

Does this mean that IJ will be blocked because, gasp, sex and other.. things are on it?

>:|

Don't tell me that I can't visit IJ in the near future. Get fucked.

Narnia, Gotham City

General browsing yesterday dug up on set pics of what the Dawn Treader looks like for the third Narnia movie. The helmet is a nice touch, but I agree with the other comments, it does look a bit 'plastic'. And big in comparison to the rest of the boat.

Still not touching the movie with a 10ft pole. The first was the opposite of pure magic, and rushed to hell and back. The second.. I could only stand half an hour or so of it before I had to turn it off. I grew up watching the BBC Narnia series, and wish that the for-today's-st00pid-generation!retelling of Narnia would take itself more seriously, among other things. You know. Actually have a plot instead of being another cash cow/advertising thing for CGI. That, and the fact that Narnia is just Christianity.

Last night I finished off the Nolanverse Gotham City map, and what happens? :D The lovely person who uploaded Nolan's Gotham map on a map site (can't remember if it was Google Maps or another site like it) took it down. The link only took me to an empty.. box.

It didn't matter in the slightest, however. I finished the map, I just had to fix the edges where the map turned into blackness. :D :D :D Gloat, gloat.  The map is 150MB when the two halves are put together, but only 39MB when flattened with Photoshop. I have no idea how to share it with Chaos and Lethe. I don't want to upload it to MegaUpload/Share/whateveritsbloodycalled. =/

Icon'd and finished my Joker's layout today. I fixed the TINY error that was bothering me. Still got Arkham and Bingo to go =D

Apparently because everybody else is doing it :D Meme.

If you could hang a sign on me, what would it say?

Stolen from Amy.

Other news: cyclone Laurence went :D It's over in WA now, haha. It went from a low to a category 3 down to a 2 and now it's a 1 in WA.

If it ever came back and the power went so I'm not around to update anybody, you can just check the status by going to www.bom.gov.au, click NT and then on the Cyclone/Tropical Low track forecast map for the NT. I'm  not worried at this stage, though. It's busy in WA =P

Fucking huge storm yesterday, though. We could've gone without that one D= The rainfall level was 79MM EDIT: it's been updated to 250mm. Holy shit. Cars were stalling on the roads because the water was so high, the racetrack was a LAKE, trees and power lines were knocked over. Blargh.

At the moment it's only spitting lightly. Watched 28 Days Later again because it's a good rainy day movie <3 Edit #2: My Joker journal has moar hugs! O: Who is the rapist?

Dec. 12th, 2009

BRB, Narnia.

Category 3 Cyclone Laurence. Fucker.

Might not be around. Hopefully it'll pass.

Assassin's Creed II: Finished! My review.

Review behind the cut.

I finished it last night, and the ending sucked =/ Scratch that; the last 5 hours or so of the game sucked.

Dec. 10th, 2009

Thunderstorms!

Had the first thunderstorm today :D Several power surges and whatnot; the wet season is on.

Don't freak if you don't see me or any updates for a while. Random power surges fail, but nothing can be done about it. It's the cyclone season, and the near it gets to Christmas, the more erratic my online time will be. Boo. =/

Photoshop + Creed

Still Photoshopping away. I should really finish fixing Arcanum and Joker layouts today, but... not really in the mood to concentrate on anything for longer than 5 seconds. Thus, quick iconing instead =D I had finished scanning The Bouncer: Visual Arts CG collection last night before I spent some time playing Creed. Can't be fucked with the third Assassin's Tomb; the puzzle one.

Except for loltastic health problems, life has been good =D Uneventful. Just Creed-ing and PSing and translating and scanning. Nothing new.

Argh, I need more comics. D= Comics that I want that don't exist.

Did I say before that I really, well and truly hate my stupid HTC Dream phone? Well, I do. I fucking hate it. I want to throw it out the window. But it cost $2K, and I have to keep using it until it dies so I can then get myself a shiny iPhone.

Also? Optus, stop giving my number to the hordes of Indian special offer!23shiftomgz!! 'companies' that keep calling me. You fail. I don't want to change my number.

Assassin's Creed II + Translation & Scanning

Played Creed II throughout the weekend, and planning another marathon this arvo and tonight with Kef. Game = win. The voice acting is hilarious, though. Bad/funny Italian accents =P

Busy today scanning The Bouncer: Visual Arts Collection, and The Bouncer: Beginner's Guide books. Kef can start translating IX tomorrow morning, when I start scanning that at home with my scansna[ :D

iTuned yesterday since it's been a new month for a while. Pft to bandwidth =/

Dragon Age taunts me so. I've hidden it away as of this morning. >| Argh,

A replacement Zack has joined IAB. Huzzah!

What else? Nothing, except congrats to Kai for finishing his TAFE and now being a 100% qualified massager! No, I can't spell the correct word for it X3

Assassin's Creed II + Dragon Age: Collector's Edition

I got Assassin's Creed II yesterday, and played it for a few hours. It is epic. It's pretty much Batman, though. Run cross rooftops, ambush people, and don't forget eagle vision. =P

My Dragon Age copy arrived this morning: llwkekjr holy crap. I'm not touching it though, until I finish Creed. I will hide it away so it will not taunt me :|
