Cmdr. Cracken Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 So I bought Fallout: New Vegas on Steam... I've never, in all my years, played a Fallout game. Figured I might as well, since Fallout 4 is coming. Takes place in Boston, from what we can tell. Maybe Ed can get some virtual revenge on Berkley School of Music?

K_Kinnison Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I have played all the Fallout games. Really like them. But i think we decided that Ed was going to be a Ghoul in the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 When I saw that news on a friend's newsfeed, my first and only thought was: "Well... there's no way that in a post-apocalyptic wasteland version of Beantown that the subways could actually run any worse or be any scarier than they are already in real life."

K_Kinnison Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Got to 90 degree's today. And at work they have no A/C in the warehouse, so we are told to drink lots of warm bad tasting water to help avoid getting heat stroke I kid you not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom Rabbit Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 100 degrees outside, and I'm inside sandwiched between a flat grill and a broiler. ...And the Oregon Health department won't let you drink on the cook's line. They're afraid bacteria are going to crawl down the straw and get on your hands or some stoopid damn thing like that. Really. I mean...what about my health? It definitely won't be sanitary if I pass out into the soup. Asshats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoom Rabbit Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Wally the Space Dolphin says that the Oregon state health statutes which require the banning of any kind of drinking container on the cook's line of a restaurant or food preparation area in an industrial food processing facility has less to do with their passing interest in the cook's ability to taste the food he is cooking by decreasing the aqueous percentage of his physical body and making his palate more sensitive to the saline and astringent qualities of food than in subjecting a generation of cooks to heat and dehydration stress so their DNA will change in such a way that in the future an army of super desert-resistant space warriors will be available for use in missions of conquest on distant planets with harsh climates like Arrakis or Tatooine when wandering mankind finally reaches them. F*ck you, Wally! I'm thirsty up in here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom Rabbit Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Perhaps a cell phone could be invented that recharges itself by absorbing energy from the ambient heat of whatever environment it's in. Such battery charging technology would help lower room temperature in hot climates... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K_Kinnison Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 A heat engine is very inefficient, and still needs someplace cold to increase the efficiency. (as per Carnot's thorem). A sterling engine would work, but the size of the heat exchangers needed makes it prohibitive and most of them are "Fueled" by heat far in excess what the human body can handle you are better off still using an external battery or induction to recharge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K_Kinnison Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Finally started to play the modern fallout games. I guess I missed something... because they're pretty awesome. Fallout 3 is my favorite out of the whole series. I tend to play a sharpshooter, and do a lot of sniping. It was early in the morning when he rode into the town He came riding from the south side slowly lookin' all around He's an outlaw loose and running came the whisper from each lip And he's here to do some business with the big iron on his hip Big iron on his hip And be sure to listen to the dialogue of Liberty prime. it is hilarious. "Communism is a temporary setback on the road to freedom!" Also I really liked the "Operation: Anchorage" add-on. One of the best add ons in the game for my favorite game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyan Farlander Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 I'm kind of starting to worry about R15. He hasn't posted in a week. We all hit dry spells in our posting, but he usually posts quite frequently. And he didn't sound too happy in his last post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Hmm... I thought I saw him on Facebook more recently... but I'll check his page and see if there's any news or activity there. Hmmm... June 4th was the most recent post there. Hopefully he's just taking an "Off-the-grid" break while he sorts things out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyan Farlander Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 RIP, Christopher Lee. Count Dooku made no sense and probably didn't even need to be in the Star Wars prequels, but, like so many other times in his career, Christopher Lee brought a classiness and dignity to the role that elevated it above what it actually was. It was always a pleasure to see him in any role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K_Kinnison Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Ian McKellem did a nice tribute. Even he was in awe of Christophere Lee's ability and breadth of work. Saw the Band Cloud Cult perform last night... outdoors, perfect night, for free, and even had 4 fly-overs by C-130s during the performance. A couple of the fly overs couldn't have been more then 2000 feet above us. This band was amazing. I could see my self easily pay $50 to see them perform again, the had two sets, one acoustical, the second electronic The players in their band: Lead singer/Guitar player/Writer. A Cello/Percussion, Violin, Keyboard (also french horn), Keyboard (Also Xylophone, Banjo, Guitar, and TUBA) Drummer And Two Artists making paintings they auction off after the show.

Wildstar Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 First weekend completely to myself and without having to be at the bowling alley in a while. My state tournament obligation actually ended today, as well, with my blog post about the official results. As I expected, Westgate bowlers won everything except scratch doubles and scratch all-events. One of my friends said he'll be getting a check for $900 next week...he was a member of the winning handicap team and bowled well in his minor events, as well.

Cmdr. Cracken Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Finished the main quest in Fallout 3. Now on to the DLC then eventually travel to New Vegas. taleoftwowastelands.com let's me go between the wastelands... but I figure I'll just finish all the DLC for Fallout 3 before moving on. Still haven't gotten Dogmeat. ;_; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edlib Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 So... I'm really kinda over the whole idea of having a printer at home. I use it so infrequently that the ink cartridges are useless when the time DOES come to print a document of some sort... and then I spend hours running cleaning routines, that use up what little ink hasn't dried up, and a pile of paper. And the result still looks crappy. I really should have remembered to print this form out at work... but I didn't, and I need it for the morning. I have some folks from the Blue Hill Boys and Girls Club coming to take some of these guitars off my hands. The cheaper junkier ones, of course... the multi-thousand dollar ones I'm holding onto as a fall back in case dad's money gets dear. The club had a show at our place last week... and for a group of kids who really have almost nothing, they were really talented and super-enthusiastic about performing. We've given them some old gear from work too. I'll never play all of these... I've barely touched any of them in the year they've been here. Getting them into the hands of kids who will play the crap out of them will feel good! Plus: I can claim a charitable donation on next years taxes, AND gain some precious cellar floor space back. Win/Win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
