Downloaded, installed, changed password and am back up and running again. Store isn't working yet but hey, that's pretty much a given right now.

So guess who just bought Mass Effect 1 & 2 today? Norro's finally going to get to play the series! ... eventually, anyway. I'll probably get to it after I play through my other games I've had on my little mini-queu. Picked up Borderlands GOTY for the PS3 with them today, too, so yeah... lots of games to play. Only thing is with the two Mass Effects I still need to swap them at one of our stores. I'm really OCD about my game cases and CDs, if they're not in pristine condition I rarely buy them, and ME1 didn't even have its book, I only bought it because I had a deal on it. Going to switch it soon, then add it to my library

Use Sektor, keep your distance, spam teleportation uppercut when they make a move?

I remember in Elementary school how fucking vivid those Pokemon rumors got sometimes. Something about how in R/B there's a way to unlock Togepi and get its evolutions, because it was reserved for a special event but you could use a glitch to obtain it. Then when you had that you taught its last form fly and you'd be taken to some sky world when you used it ala Mario, and you'd encounter a few "preview Pokemon" from the next gen just chilling out there in cloud patches. Snubbull, Pikablu, etc. Doubtful that that was a particularly popular urban legend, but it's one that I'll always remember because like two kids in my class insisted that they'd done it but never brought the games in to prove it, for obvious reasons.

You know, I was looking at the trophies for this thing after I finished unlocking all the fatalities and alternate costumes and... holy fuck. Beating Story Mode got me a silver trophy, but if I were to somehow get the trophy for conquering the ladder mode on expert without using any continues, it's only a fucking bronze?! How the fuck does that make sense?

Fun at GameStop with customers yesterday: "I bought a preowned PS3 for Christmas and the network is down. Oh, it's coming back? I don't want to wait. Let me return it and get a 360 at no cost to me. No? Fuck you, guy!"

He had a conversation with himself while you blankly stared at him?

And now it's time to go off to work, where I get to listen to customers complain about the PSN issues all day. Woohoo!
-
Hell of a thing sending another universe to certain doom. Lots of fun, though. Makes a man feel big.

Mortal Kombat is fantastic. The story mode is surprisingly really, really good, too. Johnny Cage's stuff in particular >_>

THE UPDATE IS HERE! I just booted up Minecraft to mess around in my world and it said there were updates to download. I thought it was just some minor patch or something, but the first thing that happens when I open my world is I get a prompt to open my inventory, and immediately get an achievement for doing so. Time to fiddle around and see what else I can find... this should be fun.

I hear someone deleted my comment from their locked status update. Shit's about to go DOWN.

You're getting old, Norro.

Worst beatdown ever.

The beatdown hasn't begun yet! These are warning shots! WARNINGS SHOTS! >_>

... you realize, at its core, nothing has really changed drastically, right? I played R/B/Y and G/S/C and then stopped playing Pokemon ever since until B/W. I tried the ones in-between but couldn't get into them for some reason (hated Gen III, was okay with Gen IV). Fact is, these new games are fantastic-- easily the best I've played since the first two generations-- and they're really easy to jump into. All the complicated "new shit" are optional things anyway. You could train your Pokemon the old fashioned way, or you could breed the best and do all kinds of shit to make the ultimate Pokemon killing machine. It's optional. It's not like you're going to care about taking it to tournaments or online or anything anyway, so what does it matter how you play? And the musical things in B/W are optional... I completely skipped over it myself. If you can't get into these new games because they're too complicated then I really don't understand how you could say that Yellow is even playable

It's the danger of centering an entire television show around one character. Nathan deserved it yes, he was easily the funniest one of the crew; however, Sheehan backing out of a third season means the popularity of the show is more than likely going to tank, and to be honest I just don't see anyone filling the shoes Sheehan's leaving behind. I won't be going into the third season expecting not to like it-- by all means, I'm giving it its chance because I want to see where they run with Simon and Alicia-- but damn it all, it needed Nathan!
-
Robert Sheehan confirmed to not be rejoining the cast of Misfits for the third season. Getting replaced by a character called "Rudi", casting still ongoing. In short: This. Fucking. Sucks.
-
... Sheehan has been confirmed as not returning for the third series. Word is they're replacing him with a character called Rudi or something. I don't know. I just know that Nathan is no longer going to be on Misfits and that sucks so fucking hard it hurts.

What're You Watching On Netflix Streaming?
The Mask of Norro replied to A-Dub's topic in Movies & TV
Futurama seems to be a constant for me in terms of shows on there. I also just got done watching Mystery Team-- as I mentioned on my last status update-- which was the weirdest movie I've ever seen an absolutely brilliant all the same. They could really stand to get more of their DVD-only queu set to instant though... there's a lot of things on there I'd love to watch if they were available for instant streaming. Instead I have to wait for them to get the damn DVDs out which, right now, is taking forever because Lorina and I found The Secret World of Alex Mack DVD but it's currently checked out by someone already. That drives me nuts too, if they run out of the DVDs on harder to find shows then you're basically stuck waiting for the people to return it. But yeah. Other than that, Mythbusters is great to have available, I've watched some Last Airbender again to get myself hyped for Korra when it comes out... the anime selection on Netflix is decent but honestly nothing compared to what most other websites have already, which isn't too surprising. -
Just watched Mystery Team for the first time... weirdest fucking movie I've seen in ages. Loved it.

He really did make the movie. I mean, all the characters were out there enough that you just can't really overlook them, but Glover really was meant to take the lead in it. Just... just *such* a fucking weird movie.
-
I have this saved on netflix...I"ll have to watch it tonight now
-
It's brilliant, just silly and brilliant.

Just got back home from our Orlando trip. Lorina and I's anniversary was awesome, never realized how big the Florida Mall was. Fantastic past couple of days all around, really.

It's a big mall.

But that's just it: that's not "just like comic books". There are at times damn near close to a hundred different continuity chains for a single character. Take Spider-Man for example: you have Sensational Spider-Man, Ultimate Spider-Man, and many, many other different tellings of the same character, same universe, but with different outcomes to situations and different events happening that change the perspective and direction of the character's life. Story Arcs may happen within the same continuity, but one character can have multiple continuities, none of which relating to the original. Characters change with the people working on them, yes, but they do not always happen within the same continuity. As for me, I say if they want to keep making Batman movies, don't continue Nolan's. The point of scrapping it all and starting over is to give a fresh, different, untold perspective on a character we've (or rather, will hopefully have seen) a successful trilogy of within the last decade. We don't need another telling of Batman's origins-- we got that already, the movie-going public will already know where he came from. Make a movie that's outside of the Nolanverse for Batman, but make it continue Batman's story as if we've known him all along (because we have). Doesn't have to reintroduce him, just tells his story from a different direction, different world entirely. Nolan's works don't need to be potentially cheapened by milking a franchise off of what he's done that's been successful. Let future Batman movies stand on their own rather than banking off of his work, I say. And again, that would follow more into the comic book industry's footsteps: a change of direction, a change of artist/writer... a new universe to explore in. This isn't a different "Story Arc", it's a whole new story entirely, a different universe for the Batman we've always known. That's what would work the best, I think.

I spotted one off the coast of one of the neighboring landmasses to my island home. Was pretty unexciting since I only got to watch it walk around for a few moments before it disappeared into the darkness. Found a bitchin' cave today off on a nearby part of one of the neighboring landmasses, too... enough diamond for me to make two picks and still have some left over. Enough gold to make a block for my entrance and still have some left over. Tons of iron, coal, lapis lazuli and redstone. All-around an awesome cave system that I'm still not done exploring yet because of how freaking massive and easy-to-get-lost-in it is. Seriously, this thing's tunnels won't stop coming. I've seen lava pools big enough to make me think I fell through the world and into the Nether or something, and waterfalls flowing onto these things from underground springs to form natural obsidian. I can't wait to see how many other resources this place has.
