Some splainin. Linked here weeks ago. "Why would I wanna read the book? All I'm saying is, I see a game every day. I watch baseball every day. I have a better understanding about why things happen than the computer, because the computer only tells you what you put in it. I could make that computer say what I wanted it to say, if I put the right things in there. ... The computer is only as good as what you put in it. How do you think we got Enron?"

My final Christmas present of the year matured this weekend when I went to a little place in the city for an Italian beer and cheese tasting. My first thought when I got it was Italian beer? Well, the Italian beer was very good. It's a style all it's own and does not pigeonhole into the styles dominated by British/Belgium/German brews. The first thing to strike you is that the Italian micro-brew industry take on bottling. Taking their cue from the wine industry they package the beers in large bottles that more resemble wine than beer (not to say that other beers don't do this, but it's the exception than the rule). The beers themselves were very light on the palate. One of the beers we had was 7% alcohol, but you would not have know it because the flavor of the beer hides the alcohol. Reading my cheat sheet I saw that the last beer was going to be a stout, but what my brain though it would be and what it was were two different things. If you have a well stocked beer store and have the opportunity to try some of these beers I would recommend it. They were delightful. The cheese was good too. The unfortunate part of the story is that I had left late (3:10 for a 4:00 tasting) and arrived at the location spot on at 4:00. The garage I had directions too wasn't exactly where I thought it would be and I thought I found a good parking spot on the street. However, thanks to NYC's byzantine parking rules I ended up getting a parking ticket. It left a bad taste in my mouth and am considering throwing it away. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

There were 6 cheeses. All but one of them were raw milk, with the only pasteurized milk being a young (less that 6 months old, where pasteurization was required by law). The first was a very soft creamy cheese that was almost melting on the plate. The brie's I had before have all been fairly bland, but this had a lot of flavor for a young (pasteurized!) cheese. Even the rind was excellent. There was a Fontina but I can't say anything special out it. There was this other washed rind cheese where the paste was very chalky in the middle, but as you moved closer to the rind it got creamy and very soft. That was cool because it was like 3 cheeses in one. The fromagier (?), to her credit, did not include any Parmesan, Romano or Pecorino in her sample, we have that enough, but there was a very hard sheep's milk cheese that was very strongly reminiscent of Parmesan. It was salty, complex and very delicious. They gave us a cheat sheet of all the cheese and beers we had, but it's at home. None of them were yellow or smelly. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

#26400 by Squeaky 2008-02-01 20:39:00 Bleh, ICBC found me 100% at fault for my recent car accident. My options are thus: let ICBC pay it out through my insurance. At which point my premiums will go up by $1000 next year, then another $900 the year after that and then $500 in the third year before dropping back down to the rate I'm paying now. My second option is to pay for the other drivers repairs (a scratched bumper) out of my own pocket for an estimated $500. Hmm... I think I'll go with option 1, clearly that is the more better option. That's what, motherfucker. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

Oh cool, we won an award. This weekend I attended a "game jam" session, which is about making a game in 48 hours. Or, well, 20 hours more like it once you get past installing software and gathering/coordinating a group of people and, oh yeah, sleeping. But we did it, me and seven others. It wasn't the most pleasant process, though I learned a couple of cool things (about managing, producing, game design and more) so I went home damn pleased. And then it turns out we went on to win one of the two awards given each year, so yay for us. Links to follow, but I just wanted to share the good news.

Spiderman 3 wasn't awful. Maybe because of all the negative talk I was expecting less, but I enjoyed it well enough. For sure it wasn't up to the standards of the first two, but it wasn't a Fantastic Four. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.
|
|
Are you implying that either of the first two Spidermans were better than Fantastic Four? Because, nuh uh. "I don't like story in games." - Soren Johnson
|
|
Yes, of course I am implying that the first two Spiderman's were better, as well as implying the F4 is dreck. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.
|
|
Sure, Fantastic Four was bad. But there's bad, and there's Spiderman bad, and F4 was not Spiderman bad. And then there's Superman Returns bad, which trumps them all. "I don't like story in games." - Soren Johnson
|
|
You scale is a bit screwed up, but otherwise correct. Spiderman was a good comic movie. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.
|
|
Heh. I just watched Spider-Man 3 too. It was complete dreck. It was like a joke. |
|
Spider-Man 2 was rather damn decent, it goes in the good pile. Number three was indeed just terribly terrible though, I'll go so far as to claim it's an actual insult to moviegoers. Way too clichéd and unfocused to be of any worth. FF and FF2 on the other hand are sort of harmless superhero movies, they're a bit silly and not earth shattering in any way but they're part of the base line. Brainless and simplistic yet fun to watch if you're in the mood. Don't dip below FF quality though, for there lies madness. Such as Spider-Man 3. "[WoW] have set up a system that allows me to rent my friends on a monthly basis.."

|
Spiderman 2 was far worse than Spiderman 1. "I don't like story in games." - Soren Johnson
|
|
S2 had the better villain, better setup, and fewer awkward Dunst scenes.. "[WoW] have set up a system that allows me to rent my friends on a monthly basis.."
|
|
Better villain, yes. More emo and less action, most certainly. "I don't like story in games." - Soren Johnson
|
|
The action from the first and third movies were negative action. "[WoW] have set up a system that allows me to rent my friends on a monthly basis.."
|
|
While Spider-man 3 was the worst of the three, it's nowhere near the horribleness of FF. And it's light years better than FF2. |
|
Comic book movies go like so: Batman Begins > Spiderman 2 > everything else. 'Nuff said. "Thug means never having to say you're sorry." - UTurn
|
|
Batman Begins > Hulk > sea of shit "I don't like story in games." - Soren Johnson
|
|
I found FF2 better than FF1. FF1 was admittedly not all that hot, but I thought the sequel kept a nice pace and quasi-interesting plot? The Destroyer of Worlds, what's not to adore? On the other hand I never got the Batman love. It was good, I'm by no means arguing the opposite extreme, but I never got the rush of awesomeness that I think others did. The lady was too damsel in distress, the plot detrimentally silly but not horrible-bad, and the action and stuff pretty nice. I understand its pleasing qualities, but I got more of a rush from the two first X-Men movies. Their respective openings in particular were just outright awesome. "[WoW] have set up a system that allows me to rent my friends on a monthly basis.."
|
|
Hulk? Hulk was exactly the same trashy shit as S3. Featuring an insultingly bad plot and superhero who can't control his anger. The movie even had a shitty ending to boot. The damsel was beautiful as always and the actionscenes funny, but that does not save a movie that is in every other way a disaster. "[WoW] have set up a system that allows me to rent my friends on a monthly basis.."
|
|
Hulk was way to pretentious. And annoying. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.
|
|
Hulk is better on repeat viewings, but still a pretentious pile of crap. I have more hope for the new version. |
