how.

If you've ever wondered how I write - or don't write - well, you can take a look at this. Upon reading this, my brain immediately wrote a short script for a four-page parody comic. Of course, I 'd read Alan Moore's parody of Daredevil less than a week before.

But still. This is the process. Merzbow vs. Daredevil: that's a good way of explaining cruftworld to people.

[Aside, to secretary]: Honey, can you get Jer or Troy or Moil or Rusty on the phone?

new age weekend.

Sigh. Cold weekend and I'm listening to serious amounts of satellite radio. This Spa station is like synth sandbox pads that rotate endlessly.

Cutedump.

Sorry, too many cute animals on my hard drive, gotta get rid of them...

Saw some lovely screenshots for Killzone 2 (PS3).

Most of these competitive-mindset FPShooters only have "Normal" as their easiest setting. I wish there was an Easy and Easiest.

Plus I don't own a PS3 but hey, I never thought I'd buy a PSP either.

Astro Fighter Sunred is the best thing on TV.

The series really hit its peak with Ep. 7, but I just saw Ep. 8 and it was really good too. Check it out here - http://a.scarywater.net/anbu/

Why is it sandboxed tv? Well, the plots don't seem to follow any particular ... uh ... no that's not it. Well, maybe sandboxing doesn't apply but I sure am watching this show and now you know that.

The "R" button on my PSP doesn't work and I can't get my Sim to cook a fish. It's inaccessible and the buttons cannot be reassigned.

So I offer you this image. Anon's not wrong.

Sandboxing: The Sims 2 / Castaway (PSP)

I had intended to start with a classic sandbox like AOE1. But in my recent downloading, I got my hands on one of the few sim games for PSP. I've just played it for an hour so far, but it is closer than I've gotten on the PSP so far.

I chose not to send a party to the island, but instead to live out my personal abandonment fantasies and send a single Ranger (odd occupation) who looks like one of the Flight of the Conchords dudes. The tutorial seems to be mostly over but i am collecting driftwood and eating coconuts and to be honest if I can subsist at this level I swear I'll become a master of coconut powergrinding.

Plus, though the three dee model isnt flawless, there are no enemies to fight so my incompetence does not impede. And it looks good enough for me, so far, honestly.

i am a caveman: 01.

sometimes.... well, all the time, I like to LARP as a low-level rogue caveman/dwarf (neutral evil) living in a futuristic world he never made. For example, today I found a magical coat that was given to me 10 months ago, when it wasnt cold. It would never occur to me to buy a coat but I tried this one on and its warm and the caveman fights off the elements for another day.

You found a new item!

This coat doesn't look too good but it is clean and brown and itchy if you only wear a t-shirt underneath.

it takes many forms.

This comic actually addresses a kind of sandboxing.

(I didn't mention this yet, but I am reading all of human culture out of order, and I tend to quote things people know rather than things they don't. )
