Who were you Denvercoder9? What did you see!?

So I'm not alone in this after all!

Today's observations:
-ArmA.3 redid the HHL UVmaps, so if you don't update your model, you will have the hairiest hands in the world. Also, ears. Ears on your hands. Hand-ears, if you will.
-The new version of BinPBO, instead of saying "you forgot a semicolon, I will now refuse to do anything, throw up 80 billion error messages and then crash your entire computer rawr rawr rawr" now says "you forgot a semicolon, here, let me put one there for you". This is literally the only thing I've ever wanted from a compiler, and, in my mind at least, is cause to forgive BIS for everything ever. Even OFP: Elite.
-By 2035, humanity will have evolved to have a head that's just slightly too big to fit any of the hats we have right now.

Are you saying that human existence does make sense?

No, I'm saying you can get that point across better than I can.

[D@V£]

No, I'm saying you can get that point across better than I can.

Well... I guess string theorists recently performed an experiment that "proves" the universe is in fact only 2 dimensional, then again, as far as I can tell, string theory is pretty much the modern equivalent of the luminiferous aether... so... go figure.

Wait, you were mocking me there, weren't you?

Yes, I was.

Saw the 2nd part of The Hobbit today. Not quite as overwhelming as the first one (in the strict sense of the word) but still an awesome movie with a fine cast and amazing imagery. Should've been longer, though.

[D@V£]

You want a longer version of a Peter Jackson movie? Good god man, are you insane?

[pMASTER]

The special extended editions of The Lord of the Rings are just marvelous — four hours of additional material which make the movies much better than they already were! Unfortunately, the SEE of The Hobbit I has only a few more minutes.

It's the director's cut syndrome: Alyways the studios tell directors to shorten their movies but why, for the love of God? I've never heard anyone watching a director's cut say 'Well, if the cinematic version had have had that scene I'd have walked out'.

[D@V£]

Well, I dunno, there's the scene with all the French colonials in the extended cut of Apocalypse Now.

[pMASTER]

I don't get the reference?

[D@V£]

Well, you see, in the extended cut of Apocalypse now there's this bit with a bunch of French Colonials, which is about half an hour of everyone sitting around a table being lectured about French Colonialism, for some reason.

That's the only half an hour i like in the movie Wagner isn't really my kind of music, a little too much "i want to invade France once again"

Insanity interspersed with moments of normality (the Bunnies, French colonials) to depict the unreal experience of war is the entire point of the movie! You've just undermined the entire purpose of that movie! And that part has additional nudity in it, so meh.

Hmm, interesting thing that just happened. The Firefox spell checker doesn't recognize the word "movie" and says it is spelled incorrectly. Now in the previous sentence it also does not recognise the name of the program it was designed for (Firefox) either. To sum up the current situation: The world is likely going to end in 1 - 24 hours. Indigo please report to my bedroom, what the world thinks about our messed up relationship doesn't matter any more my dear

She asked me to tell you she would come but alas we can't find the keys for her handcuffs anymore.

(Merry feast of love, everybody! )

But it's French Colonial Nudity! It's too artistic to be sexy! How the devil is a man to get aroused while contemplating the duality of the human condition?

What's this about the world ending? Every time it happens around this time of year no one tells me until after I've done my Christmas shopping. Goddamn typical...

[Wittmann]

Ugh. Work sucks. I hate this time of year.

So. Still alive. I think. Whats happening here?

Weather is kind of nice... sometimes;


Had to go look for a missing person on Xmas eve. I'll indicate how it ends; if you go windsurfing, for the love of god wear a personal flotation device.

I'm guessing that dehydration wasn't an issue ...

[pMASTER]

For a reason I cannot name LAN parties aren't anymore the fun they used to be...

@Witty

Thumbs up for you doing your job anyway.
Gotta say one thing... as little as I could imagine a Christmas @ 30°C I'd love to celebrate New Years Eve in summer. Up here everything between January and March is basically wasted time - it's all but exams and bad weather. A meaningless season with almost nothing to look forward to.

[Blackbuck]

Well. It's that time again. 12 months have passed. 12 whole months. In that time we've lost some great and good people, many before their time yet we who remain continue to cling to this rock hurtling through space at sixty seven thousand miles an hour but for what purpose? I implore you all to take time to reflect on the events of this year and to look to the future for what 2014 will bring. Life is (for the most part) what you make of it so grab it by the tenterhooks and make it into what you desire.
That said I wish all of you, family, friends, associates, colleagues and acquaintances the very best of luck in the coming months and with that I think a quote from a great albeit fictitious man; " We all change. When you think about it, we're all different people all through our lives, and that's okay, that's good, you gotta keep moving, so long as you remember all people that you used to be". Geronimo!

edit: Just found out the Julian Calender starts in March. Happy fake Gregorian new year. Seriously, fuck Gregory whoever the hell he was. I don't even care, he wasn't Caesar, that's what's important. If you aren't Caesar, who the fuck do you think you are to tell me when the year begins?!
