The Mind Of OverlordTomala

Early to bed, early to rise, early to get off and pass out.

Did some more work in premiere and after effects. Also played a bit of L4D2 on the side, didn’t run into any asshats but still got some nice footage. A hunter and jockey attacked me at the same time and I managed to come out of that without any rape whatsoever.

Will probably be on tomorrow afternoon sometime assuming I don’t pass out after work. I have a full day tomorrow which means it’s time to bring my lunch box! Thai fried rice awaits.

Music to test by

With Aperture-brand turrets, boots, bots and panels flooding the applied science aisle of your local department store, you could forgive the up-and-coming test lab for taking a breather. Judging from their latest press release, though, their laurels remain untouched by backsides. Bolstered by recent breakthroughs in the field of jazz smoothing, Aperture announced today the first of three downloadable aural stimulus packages.

Whether you’re a mega-science corporation with decades of test experience, or a young start-up liberating your first test subject from non-testing with a chloroform-soaked rag, Aperture guarantees results. Wake up your test subject, open the chamber door, and press play–let Aperture’s patent-pending rhythmic compliance enhancers do the rest.

SNews has launched!

http://snewsnetwork.wordpress.com/

SNews (pronounced “snooze”) is a satirical video game reporting service. It’s meant to cover a large array of games, from action-adventure and RPG to “virtual world” online social games such as Second Life and There. Our media includes in-game reports, fake documentaries (mockumentaries), commentaries, map and video game reviews, and other columns for your entertainment.

SNews is looking for reporters.

Posted by the runner up overlord.

The URU community has long since had TCT and CCN, but now it’s time for something fresh! Something radical! Something that is informative while at the same time entertaining!

Our Overlord and I have been talking and we have decided to create SNews, a brand new gaming journalism panel!

If you wish to apply, simply make a post in this thread with the game you wish to report, the name of your column, and what type of content you wish to publish. If we gain enough interest, the Overlord may create a broadcast area for our efforts.

Signed,
Yutram – Runner Up Overlord that is Lost in Space

It also helps if you like to film gaming or have an interest in writing reviews. For games, maps etc. Yutram shall have the blog up later by today.

Is this thing on? Hey, it’s 10PM in Hawaii and I’m hungry.

Back when I was previously guest blogger on the old Blogsite for my most generous host, the one and only Overlord Tomala, she asked me to post something clever, or even mildly interesting. Despite the fact that my posts lacked the heat (i.e. Habenero peppers) or steamy topics (saunas or hot tubs) I’ve apparently been invited to guest blog again. Now to think of something.

Oh, I think the reason I was asked back is that I actually met a friend from Uru in person. My friend from the Institution (yes, THAT Institution), Rik and his wife met me in Dallas for some most excellent Tex-Mex at one of my favorite restaurants, Mi Cocina. I think that means My Kitchen, which means that I should have washed the dishes afterwards, like I usually due in my kitchen.

Lately though, we’ve been eating in other places. We spent 8 days in Maui, having pizza at the Lahaina Pizza Company twice in that time. Most excellent choice (Cheese, tomato, onion and black olive, Chicago style deep dish). We’ve had fish, and chinese food at a place in Kahului named Da Kitchen. Was I supposed to wash dishes there too? Da?

Now that we’ve returned to Oahu, we’ve already had our usual favorite food at Kin Wah Chop Suey in Kaneohe. We still fix at least 2/3 of our meals in the vacation rentals that we rent.

More on Malasadas tomorrow. Bon appetite y’all. This is your world traveling din din reporter, reporting from The Gathering Place, Oahu, Hawaii. C58

The good news is I didn’t blow anything up.

So today was my first day working bakery. I actually wouldn’t mind staying over there, but it’s one of those jobs where you’re by yourself with too much to do and a limited amount of time. It’ll be hell once I’m off of training. I’m glad it’s not permanent.

Bought some margarita mix for tonight! Don’t have to be back tomorrow, so I think I’ll introduce myself to some drunken gaming tonight.
