Double-post, but I figured I should make this a separate post for those not interested in Starcraft chatter.

I am just about finished with my job! I have exactly seven work days left, and then I will be returning to life in the time zone I actually live in for the first time in a year and a half. This is pretty big for me!

As such I'm intending to do a count-down of sorts, in the form of seven 'Top ____ List', one for each day. A Top Seven ______ list, a Top Six ______ list, and so on and on.

I need subjects for these lists, though! It can be anything, even something I've already done one of those memes for - my answers might have changed. Something fandom-related is preferred. Please post suggestions in the comments.

Just finished watching that big Starcraft II tournament in Germany.

The third-place match was something like this: )

And then the finals rolled around.

And they were more like this: )

...welp. Fuck this series, then. I guess I'll stick around until the end of part one, since it's so close, and I still plan to play Park Hyunmi somewhere because she is the very very bestest, and maybe Jeeha because he's fun, but I doubt I'll be reading part two whenever it's released because...what the fuck? You spend the entire series building up this interesting conflict between these two groups, and then in the space of a single chapter totally out-of-nowhere eradicate it in favor of a completely different and much less interesting conflict?

Not even Liquid Shark can make me like this.

So in Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty there's two points where you have to choose which plot branches you want to follow. This only actually changes a few things, like four cutscenes and two missions total. (There is a third choice later, but that doesn't affect the plot; just whether you'll face Nydus Worms or Mutalisks in the final battle)

Naturally, the moron that I am, I chose the wrong ones on my first playthrough! The choices I eschewed are, in both cases, way better than the ones I chose, from a story and character development perspective.

Read more about why! )

Jesus fucking christ, Huffpo.



Seriously? Seriously!? Even when I agree with you, you're a fucking embarrassment.

Anyone else playing Alien Swarm? It's a four-player cooperative top-down shooter game from Valve, where you fight your way through swarms of aliens to complete mission objectives. There's eight characters to play as, divided into four classes (Officers who give a passive damage boost, Special Weapons with the big guns, Medics who heal, and Techs who hack consoles and doors), and there's something like forty unlockable weapons.

It's really fun. And the best part? It's free! 100% free. Not as a sale or promotion or whatever, just permanently and totally free on Steam.

GIVE ME YOUR STEAM IDS

BLIZZARD I AM WEAK TO YOU

OK so in addition to buying Starcraft II I have gotten back into World of Warcraft. But I am doing so with a twist! A roleplaying twist, to be precise.

No, I'm not going to go on an RP server and game there. I've tried that before, it just didn't work.

But what I do intend to do is play the game as if I was a character playing the game. Roleplay a character playing WoW! Like, for example, play as Gumshoe from Pheonix Wright, who rolled up a Tauren character.

I know some people on my flist also play WoW, so I was wondering if any of you would like to join me in my silly RP shenanigans!

Jesus christ, first anime!Hohenheim was an ugly fucker. It's like they tried to soften his appearance with a power sander, forgetting that his hard features are what makes his design work.

Jesus fucking christ, Avatar fandom. We've only had official confirmation of the new series for like a day, and there's already shipwank.

This is the worst fandom.

Wow, NOM finally managed to out-stupid 'The Gathering Storm'. Fear the intimidation tactics of rainbow umbrellas!

So guys [livejournal.com profile] yuri_dressing is a thing now.

You should all go post there. I mean, if you want to. But I highly encourage it because OH LAWD too many dicks on the LJRP dance floor.

I'm sure everybody and his mom is sick of hearing me say this but goddamn I can't wait for school to start. For possibly the first time in my life, I'm actually looking forward to it. That and I just don't want to be doing my job anymore; it's not a bad job but I'm sick of it and sick of my boss' bullshit and BLEARGH less than two months left.

DOMA just got declared unconstitutional and the front page news on HuffPo is fucking LeBron James.

Anyone who thinks that HuffPo is worth the bits it passes on as anything but a decent aggregator for a small number of reasonable bloggers/columnists is being suckered. It's every bit as terrible as any mainstream media outlet.

26 icon set of Serial Experiments Lain, for [livejournal.com profile] anime_abc's mega challenge thing. One for each letter of the alphabet!

Four percent and counting! Admittedly these are pretty preliminary numbers, but it doesn't exactly bode well.

Dear mainstream media,

It's not that fucking difficult.

That? Is a teenaged boy doing your job for you. BETTER than you. All it takes is asking questions of substance, about actual policy matters, and coming to the interview prepared with facts. NOT DIFFICULT!

Seriously, can you think of any mainstream media figures who regularly do that? Not counting ones whose initials are RM.

WHAT THE FUCK

(Link potentially triggering for. Fuck, I don't even know. Genital mutilation and child molestation I guess but somehow that doesn't feel like it wholly encompasses it)

What the everloving fuck shit fuck goddamn what the hell holy shit.

THIS IS HAPPENING IN AMERICA.

THIS FUCKING VIDEO



I cannot stop watching it! I know very little about the fandom it's for, and don't really want to know more because what I've heard sounds super-skeevy and boring, but. THIS VIDEO. It is like the perfect combination of catchy song and adorable animation to make me watch it on loop over and over.

This piece of music from an entirely unrelated fandom sums up how I feel about the chapter perfectly.
