That is pretty great.

Personally, I think the world could do with a little more fake history.

"...and that's how Kvothe turned the battle of Gettysburg."

Oy, maybe Kvothe could get himself a better woman. Screw Celeborn, lets have a crossover where Kvothe gets to hang with Galadriel and give Elrond no end of attitude.

Then they could both help Napoleon because fuck history. It'd be cool.

It's worth hanging with Napolean for the hats alone.

Though I feel our bias thus far is too fantasy leaning. I'm sure there are some good scifi crossovers for history. Because fuck history and fuck the linear progression of time.

Definitely, and I am happy to include video games.

Sephiroth called the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs.

Ash from Evil Dead and a bunch of wacky Ewoks hold a real spot in Australian outback lore and Ned Kelly owes them money.

Glad to hear it!

Basically the same. Busy and happy.

The stars were aligned for my return.

Yay. I am happy for you.

Don't be a stranger

I'll try to stop by more.

Woot!

I have my own thread, so I thought I would use it.

You got an Av and a phone!

Is that one of them thar Japanese hot spring monkeys?

It is indeed.

It seemed fitting. I even upgraded to a smartphone this weekend. So I am officially that monkey's technological equal.

You just got a smart phone?

You had a dumb phone up until now?

 

[Monkey_Face]

You had a dumb phone up until now?

A flip phone. Yeah.

The past few months I didn't even have that. It broke and I just didn't bother. Drove my wife nuts. Which, admittedly, was fun.

I feel so much better.

I use my phone basically as an audio book player.

Shamed my family through not knowing how to text for years.

Now it's an audio book player with occasional texts.

Yeah, my old phone I only ever really used as an alarm clock, but the baby wakes up at 8 every morning on the dot. So the baby literally had all the functionality of my phone.

Audio books! Good idea. I should get some of those on the annoying screen that texts me sometimes. I'm having to get used to the idea again of people being able to contact me.

"Since you're out anyway, please get eggs."

"THIS TECHNOLOGY IS RUINING MY LIFE!"

Yeah, audio books were the hook and podcasts like Caustic Soda, which if you haven't listened to, I think you might appreciate. Just random weird research on the freaky and upsetting.

My alarm is "Code Monkey" from Jonathan Coulton. I have to get up at 4:30, which sucks and the cat is an unreliable alarm clock.

I haven't, but I will. I've been listening to Night Vale and some gaming podcasts.

Cats are unreliable at everything. They tricked their way into our homes, and now look at them.

Have you been playing Hearthstone?

Night Vale! I've been thinking about getting back into that. I started and then stopped, but saw this tweet yesterday.

Hearthstone the Warcraft card game? If that's it, then yes! If something else...well...no.

 

[Monkey_Face]

Ha, that's a great tweet. Yeah, I skip around the episodes a lot. Not a bad thing to fall asleep to.

I want to make my own podcast that's a parody of those RPG podcasts that's just people recording themselves playing D&D, and just not label it as a joke and see how far it goes. But that would require work and... other people.

Yeah, the Warcraft game. I've been liking it a lot. I think they did a good job on it. Another use for the annoying texting device.

I'll have to restart it, I'm yeeears behind.

Yeah, but you're funny and witty and that will out you in a few seconds. If you could really manage an ego made of extra-weighty desperation you might be ignored like the 99% of other people on Twitch.

Oh nice! Yeah, it worked out well. Everquest has one too, Legends of Norrath and I had a lot of fun with that too.

There unfortunately isn't much that you get from playing Hearthstone that shows up in the game, though I got the neato Hearthstone mount on launch, my Horde Paladin loves it. Blue and sparkly.

Since there's another expansion coming I've started replaying Warcraft too, getting my 22 guys through Draenor.

 

[Monkey_Face]

I don't get twitch. Why would I watch other people play video games when I can play video games?


Aaaaand my daughter is pelting me with random objects. Later

Have you heard they're trying to resurrect some long dead, giant virus, found frozen in Siberia?

General rule of thumb: if it can survive being frozen in Siberia, don't wake it up.

Don't split up. Don't pick up hitch hikers. Don't skinny dip near creepy, remote cabins. You know, basic safety.
