The Mind Of OverlordTomala

I loves me some Serious Sam 3

Played a bit of it tonight. The graphics are amazing and the monsters are like new! Think it’s getting time to upgrade the video card come tax time. In the meanwhile I can experiment with overclocking the GPU for a little boost.

But yes. Serious Sam 3 puts Duke Pukem Forever to shame. Then again everything does. I like the rockin’ music it has too. At times it even sounds a bit Uruesque (being that Sam is in Egypt it’s only right I guess) at times which makes me wonder if I should be at peace or should I be kicking ass? I could just imagine someone creating a map of Gahreesan for Serious Sam 3. That would be bitchin’.

I noticed that my summer DLC from Second Encounter made it over into Serious Sam 3. I’ve only made it passed Cairo and I can tell I’m really going to like this game.

It seems I was partly wrong.

It turns out he never did get the gifts returned to him. He talked to my mother today while she was at work today and popped his bubble. He thought I still had the gift the entire time… She decided to explain to him from a mothers standpoint how I felt and he really had no choice but to be nice.

If the store manager lets this happen again I’m filing a report up top. If I really wanted to be a dick this whole situation could have counted as harassment. But at this point I really see no need in doing so.

My elderly fanclub continues to thrive…

In case I haven’t made it obvious by now the store I work for is basically the social club for old people. I’ve been hit on constantly by old pervs for the last 4 years of working there. One of them (an arrogant asshole at that) tried to give me gifts before Christmas through our store manager who accepted them on my behalf without my permission. Most women in the store have had history with this guy, He’s rude, crude and believes women only work there to find dates. (He used to date one of the ladies and when she dumped him he would eyeball her constantly whenever she was there) He’s even tried to give me expensive valentines day gifts before a couple years ago which I politely gave back to him. What kills me is that the store manager knew I did this in the past and STILL accepted these Christmas gifts for me. He’d rather the customer be happy at the expensive of my comfort.

What was in there? I don’t know. I gave it back to the store manager and said “No thanks”. I’m sorry but I’m the kind of person that doesn’t go accepting gifts from strangers. Especially ones who are known to be total lowlife douchebags and suddenly decide to be nice for whatever reason. He confronted me tonight and acted like I got a present even though I know he got it back, people who knew saw him walk out of the building like he got his nuts kicked. So I played dumb too and it pissed him off even more “How was my present? Which one I got a bunch!” In the end I guess he got me some expensive earrings and he said something to the effect of “I know what women like and have good taste. Ask my mom”. Which is funny because at his age I’m surprised his mother would still even be alive. He can’t even afford a car, so I’m going to guess he’s yet another basement dweller that likes to hang around our store for 6 hours a day.

Now knowing that once again he got me expensive jewelery I’m even more happy I gave it back. I would have felt even more uncomfortable accepting it expensive goods from someone I hardly know and really have no interest in getting to know. Another thing I find really strange about this whole thing is that he’s a morning person. I’ve been seeing him show up during evenings now. Rather interesting…

The funny thing is that if these people knew what I was really like they wouldn’t last 5 seconds…

Festivus Open Thread

Today was a nice and relaxing day. Woke up to sunset to make myself a cheese omelet with red and green salsa on top, opening presents from friends and giving some to my brother through digital distribution. After all a family that slays together stays together.

I hope everyone else is having a good holiday.

The holidays bring out the stupid in people.

So today we had a woman who was pissed off because of her soggy ice cream. Nevermind the fact that she picked it up first while shopping for everything else. Somehow this was our fault…

For me the happiest part of Christmas will be these people leaving me the fuck alone.

Certain old men can’t die out soon enough.

I’m not sure what it is but it seems like elderly men want to know if I’m married or have children. I shit you not. I’ve had 3 or 4 in the last year ask me if I’m either married or demand why I haven’t given birth to any children yet.  What makes this even stranger is that every single time this happens I don’t know them at all but they sure as hell have seen me for quite some time. Tonight I had my 4th encounter.

It started off normally enough. I was in the middle of looking at one of our shelves to see if anything needed to be stocked when he came up to me. He looked normal. Tall, gray hair and mustache. Said that he has moved into town permanently, seems to remember me from a couple other trips he’s paid up this way (seeing me push carts) and seemed happy to see that I’m inside out of the rain and cold. Then he asked me if I was married. When he found out I wasn’t he practically had a heart attack. He seemed flabbergasted that I wasn’t married and how dare I not have any children! I made it clear that I wasn’t exactly looking and that seemed to annoy him even more. Then he said that him and I could get married and tell everyone… Yeahhhh at that point I told him to have a nice day and I got the hell away from him. He followed me though and said from a distance that he was joking. Needless to say my bosses know what to watch out for.

Still this is something that while it’s infrequent, when it does happen it’s annoying. Why do these old farts show interest in my potential marital status or what pops out of my vagina? It’s always old men. Old women or even younger women tend to not give a shit. Young guys either ask me out or don’t care (or if they do they’re discreet) about it one way or another. It’s always single old anal retentive looking men who probably never scored because of strange questions like that.

I don’t go around asking questions like that, they shouldn’t either. End of argument.

Also too, I won Dota2. Will have to give that a try sometime.

Tonight’s lesson: Noding TF2 maps.

Well, tonight I learned how to node maps in TF2 so that bots will fight properly instead of standing around. Interesting thing, they don’t work properly on payload race maps. They’ll fight but the red team won’t push their bomb. Aside from a few small glitches on the other maps I noded everything seems  to be in order though. Having said that I’ll be downloading more custom maps and noding those as well for the server.
