Here’s something to keep you busy while I dick around and don’t post:
First, this is the most decent online comic I’ve come across in a while. It’s updated with 2 pages every Tuesday. I mean, the fact that it has a character names Zomgz should be enough on it’s own. The fact that Zomgz only talks in circuit diagrams should just be icing on the cake.
Second, The Badass of the Week is probably the best site ever made. This was the entry that I Stumbled onto, but give the archives a good look-through. I’ve been reading them in my spare time for the last 2 weeks.
Lastly, here’s a small update on what I did last week:
1) I bought Dawn of War: Soulstorm, which is the third massive expansion to the original Dawn of War title. Buy it. I’ll try and post a full review later (which is sort of a RCG type thing to do). I’ve got to keep playing it compulsively for now.
2) I spent the weekend playing Halo3 with Wolfgang. As you may know, I bought an Xbox360 for the specific purpose of playing that game, so I’ve been trying to get my money’s worth. This weekend was the DoubleXP Griffball Weekend. Since likely none of you know what that means, just let me say that it was time well spent. And since everyone was playing it that weekend the wait times between games were slim to none. Also, since Wolfgang and I seemed to be winning more than 50% of the games we played, we recruited Tinglez and her friend Jon to fill out our team (instead of having Xbox Live randomly match us with 2 asshats), going as far as to buy Tingles 1 month of Xbox Live membership. That was the lineup. It was awesome. The best game we had was one where the other team all lagged out and stood still, resulting in us murdering them numerous times in order to score really hard to get medals (revel in my 1337ness).
After that, we spent 45 minutes getting to Bentleys, most of which was us shovelling out Wolfgang’s driveway and then pushing Jon down Wolfgang’s cul de sac until we got to a plowed road.
I’m going to play more Dawn of War now.

Nice to see some posts!
I thought you were going to post about valentine’s day, though. (Not that I’m complaining, of course. I’m actually hoping that, by mentioning it, you’ll go, “Oh yeah! I’ll do that right now!”)
When I formatted my computer (two formats ago), I made it a point to not install stumbleupon. I can spend several hours on the internet, wasting time, WITHOUT having a button calling to me, begging me to go off and explore some of the neatest sites on the internet.
As for “DoubleXP Grifball”; I can only guess that it is some sort of a reference to Blood Gulch Chronicles, as they had a character named Griff. But, that’s just a guess.
Yeah, I’m not sure about the Valentine’s day post anymore. I got about halfway into it and haven’t touched it in a couple of weeks. I may just reprint it in a condensed version (which may come as a relief to some readers).
I owe pretty much every cool thing I know from the internet to SU. Par example, I was watching Zero Punctuation weeks before anyone here posted about it thanks to SU.
And your supposition is correct. Grifball is named for the RvB character Griff, although I’m not exactly sure why.
And I thank you.. although I can’t remember my rank right now… You should talk to Wolfgang about recent blog drama if he hasn’t already divulged such information…
In closing.. Cheers for DakotaFanning! “Wait! one of them’s alive! Watch out for DakotaFanning(2)!”
Yeah, he showed me the wall posts (they were in his Gmail too). All I can say is that I hope her husband made her sign a prenup. And that she’s a dirty, skanky, lying, ball-busting, no good Romanian-Canadian whore.
Yeah, DakotaFanning(2) was pretty X-treme compared to his compatriots.
What’s this drama of which you speak?
It’s called Grifball because the guys who made RvB invented it. In the series Sarge makes a reference or two of how Grifball was his favorite game. It involves hurting Griff somehow. Bungie then thought it was awesome and picked it up as a real game-type.
Binks: Basically Wolfgang’s ex is a big hoe-bag. You can read about it on his wall.
Tinglez: Thanks for the info.
New Post!
Check it.
