Seriously considering not wearing underwear anymore from now on...

When it's cold, my nutsack will shrink and pull up.

When it's hot, my nutsack will relax and hang out.

Why mess with nature's cooling system?...

I've been in a mood for DooM lately. I found out Skulltag has been succeeded by a new project called Zandronum.

For those who don't know, Zandronum is basically ZDoom (Doom with a bunch of limitations removed and some optional extras) with client/server online play. You also have the option of using GZDoom's OpenGL renderer instead of ZDoom's software renderer.

If you like doom you ought to try out ZDoom and it's derivatives sometime.

Well, turns out my monitor does have a limited 3 year warranty so I'm trying to RMA it. Digging into the long list of purchased things in NewEgg I was able to find my invoice so proof of purchase isn't something I'll have to worry about. It's a shame. This monitor has been in my possession for exactly a year and two weeks, and over the last two weeks has developed problems. Rock solid for that first year, barely any backlight bleed, no dead/stuck pixels, and it's factory calibration is spot on. It's the only IPS panel I've seen that's suitable for gaming.

Ah well. We'll see. I'd really like to not have to buy another monitor.

Finally found a freaking Washington silver quarter in my register at my part-time job. They are the ones minted before year 1965 and worth about $7.50 each. Had been checking every day for the past 2 months or so :lol:

That one would be awesome, if it weren't permanent.

Oh damn, Zombies ate my Neighbours isn't a twin stick shooter, you can only shoot in the direction you move! Has it really been so long I forgot about it?

I'm probably getting the Megadrive version then, I don't recall it looking any worse and it's going to be far, far cheaper in boxed form. And I already own the console.

It's got some technical drawbacks, but nothing that at all breaks the game or anything like that. It's a perfectly fine version.

...I don't think I can purchase this game. It's not expensive or anything, it's just... the FMV intro



I'm actually kinda scared by it. Seriously, I don't even know exactly what about it is so damn unsettling, but it fucking freaks me out.

Which ones are those? I'm curious.
