The Mind Of OverlordTomala

Open Thread

Not much to report. Did a little ESO today and progressed further into Black Mesa. Been helping my brother with his Blog posts everyday. He loves Scribblenauts about as much as I love Skyrim right now. Can’t really fault him though since Scribblenauts is fun. 😛

I also helped him get setup for video recording. He wants to do YouTubing, and tomorrow (if I have time) I’ll be helping him get a YouTube account together so he can share his Scribblenauts dance parties off to the world… and whatever else he wants to do.

I was going to write an epic rant or two today but… fuck it. I woke up this morning, had corned beef and cabbage and drank Rum and Coke since I didn’t properly celebrate St Patty’s. Oh, and if anyone wants to judge my drinking habits you can stop. I don’t drink EVERY morning. Just on what I feel are the important days. 😛 Plus it feels more awkward drinking at noon rather than 3 or 7 am like I used to do during my swingshift weeks, that and when you have drinking buddies from other corners of the world it’s okay to bend a few rules in my book. Right now I’m settling down with some watermelon tea before snooze time. Gotta keep hydrated so I can move those cardboard boxes. 😛

A bath to die for

Played Skyrim during my lunch break today, because that’s what normal PC Master race types do when they’re forced to take an hour to eat :v. I’m on the same character as my desktop version, but I’ve been taking different paths and making different choices. I finally got into Solitude to watch the execution. Only it wasn’t an execution… It didn’t execute.

Some of them were stripped down to their loin cloths and were left in a stupor. When I spawned the bath-house there is a little basket where you can leave your clothes while you take your bath. Apparenly a couple of the NPC’s not only left their clothes in the basket, but their weapons and scripted death as well. 😛 Had to reload that save. Now when I return I can rekindle my lost bond with corpse buddy. 😀

Sometimes Skyrim can be funny.

I love it when weird things happen in Skyrim. Especially when it’s things that aren’t supposed to happen in the first place. 😛 But several mods later things are bound to happen, right? Like that one time my good friend Bandit Marauder died and I got his inheritance:

Yutram shared this one with us tonight and we just about died:

Bribe the guard with… not money? As Yutram put it:

PC Modding: Where even the accidents can be awesome.

How to prove you didn’t steal anything: Flash the security guards and bite them

People do strange things when they’re caught being stupid.

When the store’s loss prevention staff accused her of theft and pulling her clothes partway off didn’t convince them otherwise, she resorted to violence. According to police, she hit one of the employees trying to detain her in the face, then bit his arm. She left “visible injuries” in the attack, but nothing bad enough that the employee needed medical attention.

Dumb people do even dumber things when they get caught. I’ve seen tweakers around this area do similar things, but not quite that grotesque.

I went outside O_o Also games

We finally had some good weather today, so I decided to take a little walk. Also played a bit of TF2 with someone who was visiting one of my servers. It looked like they came for the custom maps. I played as a pyro and I have to say it looks like I haven’t lost my touch. 😛

Finished off the day with some Skyrimming. Defeated King Olaf and got the verse. I crafted myself a fur collar to wear.

Apparently I’m turning into a furry. Which is funny because I figured that was established in ESO:

What do my Skyrim characters and I have in common? All of our left eyes suck.

Felt a little vintage today.

Dug out Win 3.11 and did a DOSBox install just for some old nostalgia.

win31

So far I haven’t run into problems. I copied the install onto my laptop just so I can troll people during my lunch break. :v

I did come up with an idea, to install this onto a thumb drive to take to work. Then plug it into our main Windows 7 Machine and just launch DOSBox in fullscreen mode (with a more tame looking Program Manager and color scheme of course). That would make for a fun April Fools day prank. :v

But so far it’s been fun just poking around in it again for old times sake. I plan to locate some more games for it, ready to record for YouTube if need be. I’ll probably copy this over to Linux DOSBox for my own amusement next… after I reinstall CentOS.

I found a Serious Bug

Decided to continue my adventures in Serious Sam. I never played much of the HD First Encounter (unless you count the First Encounter DLC inside of HD Second Encounter) so I decided to have a go at it. I was greeted by an interesting bug:

On another note I also took the time to customize the game on my gaming keyboard. I mean after all I have the games all perfectly customized on my Steam Controller. I need to stop neglecting my Serious Sam keyboarding! And let me tell you this is one Serious Setup.

No longer do I have to raise my hand higher on the keyboard to do a quicksave. Ha!
