a collection of shows...

Hey to anyone who might accidentally stumble back into the swarveyland world.

Here are a bunch of shows, in one convenient player, that I have not posteded here.

Enjoy, bastards!

the 18th show-izzo...

for lee... 17th show...

re: the 16th show

re:the 15th show!!

heh...

Nothing more than, "Heh..."

the name of the show is: in the red...

el archivo...

for those reading twitter...

Here's a picture.


For those not reading Twitter, though I don't see how you are not, this sign is posted before the closest parking place at the Westerly CVS.
I believe this is a very narrow portion of the population. There can't really be enough people who fit this description to require a parking spot just for them, can there? Be?
Man, that's a horrible sentence thinks I do but hunger have I with the most.

in the red: the TENTH show!!

my response...

Oh, if only someone would come up with a job entitled Professional Smart-Ass, I would be rich.

See below for the anonymous letter someone left under the doors of many of the people on the floor where I live. Never mind, I'll just repost:




Here is the anonymous letter I wrote back:

i like a well-stocked bathroom as much as the next guy...

But, come on.

please esplain this...

The most conflicted car rear end EVER.

re: the ninth show...

Apparently people are actually listening and, get this, look forward to the posting of the archive.

Who knew?

Here's the ninth show. I think it's a bit of a drag show, and when I say drag show I do not mean that Steve, Danny and myself were wearing dresses.
That's NEXT week.

solid waste or liquid...

It's a nice idea, but, it totally failed with me as I had to flush in both optional ways to see the difference.

gas is expensive...

Special's what?
Down in the...? Is the car wash at the crick?
Is it too much to ask for some proper grammar when I am spending 50 dollars a pop?

recent pictures 1...

Ah... Humans living together.
Some of us should look into crypts.
Well, I don't mean just look into the crypts, but, like, explore the concept of crypts as a place to reside.
Because, they're quiet.

re: the eighth show

This show was good. No, really it was good.

the seventhy show...

erykah bad-do...

sausage!

archive!!

love the bubbles...

i wish i knew of this site for day 8 in the countdown...

the fifth show...

More than 100 people have listened to last weeks show.
Neat-o.



Thanks for listening!
Say something, will ya?

re: the fourth show

this was supposed to go up a few days ago...

This sign was up in the lobby of my building on Sunday morning.
I have to disagree with the writer.
ONLY those who have not paid for something, have business stealing it.

hardest job in the world...

The smallchild and I like to have pizza once a week. I hope ,someday, she will grow out of this, but she really likes Dominos. She won't even talk about some other pizza showing up at the house.

Making pizza at Dominos has to be one of the hardest jobs in the world.
Check this out:


This showed up in place of smallchild's small cheese.
Notice there is no cheese on it, thereby making it a small.
I called the Dominos store and was going to explain my situation, when the manager interrupted me with, "You got a sauce pizza, didn't you?"
I said, "Well, I have a disk of dough with some sauce on it. I'm not entirely sure what I have could be counted as a pizza."
"Ha, ha.", she said.

So, either someone ASKED for a disk of dough with some sauce on it and our orders got swapped, or, someone making the pizza forgot to put cheese on our pizza.
I'm not sure which of those options is more unbelievable.

Thankfully a delivery dude showed up in 45 minutes with a replacement pizza. He also was kind enough to give me a coupon for a free 2 liter bottle of Coke for my troubles.
On top of it all, he graciously allowed me to keep the disk of dough with some sauce on it, even though I was trying to give it back.

There you can discuss anything that happens either in the strict confines of swarveyland or in the swarveyland annex BlogTalkRadio.

re: show the third

There were some technical difficulties that completely threw me off.
Out of all the three shows that we have done, I do not think this is the best one of them.
Also, I moved off Skype, because it kept dropping me, but, Skype had better sound quality. I'm all too quiet and stuff.

Generally I am not feeling positive about the entire process right now.

Try to enjoy anyway:

re: second show

The hour goes by too fast.
Next week will probably be 1.5 hours.

Enjoy.

no, no, no...

The silence is not deafening.
Actually, it might be deafening, but for the opposite reason than you might think.
I haven't reviewed the game, because I haven't had time to review the game, because I've been PLAYING the game.
I played it all evening Tuesday, slept, then played it all day on Wednesday.
Most people in this circumstance would say, I LITERALLY played it all day Wednesday. In this case it would almost be accurate, too. However, I took the garbage/dog out. I ate lunch at Wendy's and then in the evening went with Jenn to get a burrito.
So, I did not LITERALLY play all day on Wednesday, but it was close.

There are things wrong with the game.
The driving model is crap and it will take a lot for me to get used to it. You'd think, with a name like Grand Theft Auto, the Auto part would take the lead. The driving feels much more secondary this time around.
Your characters face is dirty looking because he always needs a shave. He is, I believe the word is, grizzled. I've never said this before, but I'm going to say it now. I'd like to shave him.
The music selection is not as good as it usually is in the series. You could file this complaint under "minor" and I would be okay with it.
The shooting, dodging, cover, fist-fighting system is fairly deep and complex and I need more practice. This is only a bad thing because I still kind of suck at it, not because it is inherently faulted.

The big question will be, does the game live up to the hype? The answer is, it depends.
It depends on what you want from a game. If you want an out-of-the-box fun time or a game you could just casually pick up and enjoy, this is not the game for you. For that kind of enjoyment, I would definitely give Burnout Paradise the major edge.
I can totally foresee people picking GTA up for 15 minutes then coming away with the "What the hell was all that fuss about?" attitude. They would not be wrong, either. The beginning part of the game is more of a drag than anything.

Here is the other side, though. I just spent a lunch hour with three other people who have been playing the game. The entire hour was spent with different people recounting different things they have experienced and being excited about all of them. This was from people who have not gotten 20% deep into the game yet.
They talk about what happened like it really happened to them. They have specific emotional responses to the characters, both part of the game and on the fringes.
The game is like living a different life in a similar, though different, world.
Think of all the possibilities that present themselves to you every time you open your front door. Well, this game does not offer you the same level of possibilities as that, come on, it's just a game. Don't be stupid.
There are a hell of a lot of different, interesting things that can happen though. And people who play are excited about them. This is why it is the best game that has ever been created, even with its faults.
I'll put it into perspective.
In the game, you have a cell phone. You end up on the intrawebz fairly early in the game. You find a site that allows you to purchase new ringtones for your cell.
I don't have the level of phone yet that allows me to purchase new ringtones.
I am excited to get ringtones, for a phone I don't have yet, which does not really exist.
Also, I spent 1/2 hour watching a crappy little virtual television on my 42 inch RT screen.

midnight...

I'm glad I was able to successfully bore everyone with this countdown.
It is finally at its end.

Woot.

well... not months...

A rare editorial to this countdown that so few people are interested in.

The above image was the best one I could find. In my mind, this picture is fairly iconic. The whole mess with the bull you'll get the horns interchange was quoted several bajillion times in my youth. The frame I used, however, does not exist all over the GlobalMegaNetz as you would think it would.
Notice the quality isn't great. That's because I had to capture a frame from a crappy YouTube video. Finding this speech of Paul Gleason's, even on frigging YouTube, was a pain in the asses.

Want to know what you can find really easily?
This:

This is not The Breakfast Club. This is Not Another Teen Movie.
I will have no part of it.

Thank you.

look, look, look, look...

A break from the countdown...
