obscurereality

While waiting for The Walking Dead #77, I found this little gem… Too bad it’s only a miniseries. I’ve read many stories with the same basic plot… something is infecting people via <enter some form of technology here>, but there’s just something about this one. Maybe because it’s art is fantastic, and the other similar stories are just text.. I dunno. Anyway, go grab all 5. They’re worth it.

Here’s some media from this summer…

Make:Philly BBQ – Water Rockets.

Meh. That’s all for now. Trent’s going back to WA on Wed. Do not want.

I took a walk down to the Comic store during lunch today during lunch, and found this: Zombie Dice. It was pretty cheap, and thought it looked simple enough to be some Trent and I could enjoy. And, well… zombies.

The gameplay is really simple. You draw 3 dice from the cup, and roll. You get one of 3 sides; Brain, Foot or Shotgun (hence the title, which Trent took to chanting). The goal is to be the first to collect 13 brains. If you get 3 Shotguns, your turn ends and you get no points (one point per brain otherwise). You can keep going, but based on the color of die you draw, determines the likelihood of getting a Brain. Red being the ‘Hardest’, and Green the ‘Easiest’. This actually draws a bit of strategy into the game, which of course can be completely ignored.

As with most simple games, Trent kicks my ass at this game as well. He was able to beat me in 2 turns more than once. Too bad he’s not old enough to take to casino.

SJGames also has Cthulhu Dice, which I will likely purchase as well… cause, well… tentacles.

Wow… it’s been a while.

I’ve been retarded busy in the last two months. A real update follows eventually…. for now, a quick outline:

• I’ve had Trent all summer. It’s been nothing short of awesome.
• Trent and I swam in the ocean for the first time, ever. No Krackens or anything with giant tentacles stopped us.
• Mendel is still printing, but has a new extruder problem. (Too much heat I think)
• I’ve ditched my iPhone (and AT&T) for a DroidX. Verizon rocks.
• I switched jobs. My title has gone from ‘prole’ to ‘Engineer III, Anti-Abuse Department’ – And it’s awesome over 9000.
• Haven’t been taking many photos :/
• Read Makers (effing awesome) and have started re-readinglistening to the Hitchhikers Guide books.
• Have all but stopped driving my car I just dropped 3k on (Yay for jobs in the city!)
• All but neglected Hive76 :\
• Start skateboarding, all be it half-assed and only after drinks in the dark.
• Started paying a little more attention to EVE after the Tyrannis expansion.
• Love the DroidX
• Flew my niece in from OK for 2 weeks. That was fun.
• We all went to Hershey Park.
• Next week we’re going to a Philadelphia Union game (football, not hand-egg)

These comics are awesome:

I got a Flip HD, it’s rad, here’s a video:

Meh. I’m tired.

Chicago!
