| So, many of you have probably heard of this or saw last year's, but I thought I'd share it all the same.
Desert Bus for Hope is a charity event for Penny Arcade's Child's Play charity. It goes like this: They play the most monotonous video game ever, the legendary Desert Bus for a certain number of hours, with the number of hours based on the donations they get. The donations continue while they play, adding more time. Each hour costs more. They have live streams of the bus, the drivers, and a chat where you can talk to them. Every thousand dollars there's a bit of macrospam on the site in celebration.
As of when I'm posting this, they've been playing for almost 22 hours, out of 101 currently paid for with over $13,000 in donations, and have one point, working on 2. Last year they got $22,800 and six points, the world record. They're looking to break both.
It's good fun for us, torturous for them, and hey, if you're going to contribute to the suffering of others, might as well do it charitably.
ETA: Well, they broke the important record. They just broke $25,000 and counting, committed to 110 hours, of which they've played about 64. They haven't gotten more than 6 points though. They keep crashing.
ETA2: So Gabe and Tycho decided to match the next $10,000 that came in after about $25,500. Current count since the announcement? $5000 has already been donated, bringing them up to 30K and something like 113 hours. There will be at least $5000 coming from PA, probably more as more donations come in. The boys almost cried when Tycho called and told them about it. | comments: 21 comments or Leave a comment   |
| So, in light of this (don't read if you don't want to know about stupid batman spoilers) I decided to give you a post on why Grant Morrison is stupid. I'm not sure where my dislike started. It was probably Animal Man, though. Goddamn fucking Animal Man. Whether he was comparing the seal hunt to ripping out dolphin fetuses and using them for toys, turning entire storylines into nonsense about Animal Man being a comic character until I was so bored I just didn't give a fuck about the plot anymore, or dedicating an issue to talking about his dead cat when they finally fire him, Morrison didn't exactly please me on that title.
Admittedly, he's still above Garth Ennis because it'd be damn hard to suck worse than Thor: Vikings(of which I swear I wrote a review for, but it seems to have disappeared? Goddamnit. I'll write a new one), which is -1000 points in writer rankings.
Anyway, in-between making bestiality jokes about Morrison because I'm classy, it descended into references to one of my very first contributions to scans_daily.
It was Animal Man.
This thread is lovely and notable as well as a good example of why I don't like Grant Morrison through the eyes of his fans.
John: do not let your eagle daughter hang out with him
Ann: D: D: D:
John: although that's more a warning for colbert and his eaglechild
Ann: Stephen jr is a boy.
John: would that stop morrison?
Ann: D:
John: he'd probably make it wear a little eagle dress
Ann: Shut up.
John: then he'll write a comic about it. And the eagle will realize it is a comic character and not stop talking about it.
John: people will praise it as a work of genius.
John: while mating with another eagle, the dialogue will say 'we fell like fighting superheroes' | | comments: 8 comments or Leave a comment |

| It's a very, very funny show that's on British TV and is currently in its third season. The second episode aired tonight and I laughed so hard, I nearly broke something.
Here's the link of the new episode.
This has been an incredibly funny series. That there episode? Pushed it into "legendary" status for me. Apparently a lot of other people feel the same way. Just wondering if any of my favourite wankas share this special love? | | comments: 64 comments or Leave a comment |
| So there's a new Issue (expansions, kind of?) city of heroes coming out and with them comes special free stuff for each character on your account.
As a result, I'm in a push to create new characters so they'll have the free stuff saved up for when they're higher levels. I've only got one left that I'm considering right now, so \o/.
My latest are:

| The last couple of weeks have been absolute shit, they really have, and I am having a very hard time finding things for which to be thankful besides, y'know, "roof over my head (for the time being)" and "food (at the moment)" and that sort of thing, but there is one thing for which I am unabashedly thankful without any sort of parenthetical statements attached at all, and that is this:
Today is George W. Bush's very last Thanksgiving in office. He will never pardon another stupid fucking turkey (even though he will likely pardon a whole lot of actual criminals, joy) and in less than two months, he will be gone forever. Finally. *happy sigh*
So it's sort of like today can be everyone's Thanksgiving, in a way. Happy Thanksgiving, World! We got you a Barack! And we totally love you, even though we've done a pretty shit job of showing it these last eight years. Big group hug!
Oh, and I'm also thankful for Twilight getting it's own cornfield-esque sort of Lounge comm, and also Fishie's post full of mostly naked men. I take my joy where I can get it. Yays! | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |

| This will be one of the most awesome posts I will ever write.
Mostly because I'm hardly writing at all, and where there is no text, there will be pictures of naked men. I've been in a rotten (ahahahah...ha... :( ) mood lately and naked men make me happy, so I thought I would spread the love. Plus I can now just scroll through them, again and again *_*
So unless Photobucket is a tool and deletes them all, this is officially Fish's Best Post Ever No Question About It Totally And Completely Hellz Yes No Full Frontal But Plenty of Butts Oh Right On That's What I'm Talking About (acronym: JKASJDLKAJDLSKnal).
oh, and big pictures are big. Fair warning.
( And I'm not kidding about the naked men bit, so's you know. )
And Happy Thanksgiving, folks! | | comments: 9 comments or Leave a comment |

| I see that there have been many posts about Twilight lately! I'd just like to point out that I created a comm a little while ago, ![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/community.gif) sparklefield, which is not part of the F_W network and is therefore not mandatory, but might keep people from getting fed up from an overload of Twilight-related posts. | | comments: 13 comments or Leave a comment |

| There were a lot of things wrong with it, but it is still my second favorite Bond movie because I never cared about any Bond before Daniel Craig.
The intro was pretty weak - the song was a perfectly good Bond tune, but the visuals were just unimaginative and unimpressive, and it didn't help that I had to watch it twice. Because, you know, I went to watch the English version and it turned out they were accidentally showing the German one. So they had to stop it and rewind and show it again. And then they weren't sure if it worked on the second try, so they were like "we hoped this worked, but if it's still in German now we'll give up, cancel the show and hand out refund".
So, anyone knows how far into the movie the first words are spoken? I mean words that will come along either as English or German? Huh?! I give you a hint: Very far.
Until then we had no way of knowing if we were actually watching the movie or just biding our time before we left. That kind of sucked. And it didn't help my optimism that the movie title was still "Ein Quantum Trost" on the second try and that the Italian lines came with German subtitles.
But then it turned out that yes, it was the English version and everyone in the cinema clapped and cheered and all was good. \o/
( I guess from here it's a tiny little bit spoilerific. In a vague way. )
Yeah, so basically for me it's just that I like Daniel Craig so much. I know some of you can't understand that, and I can't really explain. It's just little things, like his voice when he says all casually "Twas a pleasure". Then I wish he would say that to me. :D | | comments: 16 comments or Leave a comment |

With only hours left until the offer expires, Dr. Pepper's website is down/crashing and I don't have my coupon yet.
I even called the number they have on the site and all I get is a busy signal. >:(
ETA: From the website - "Everyone in America has until 6 PM EST on Monday, November 24 to get a free 20 oz. Dr Pepper" | | comments: 18 comments or Leave a comment |
