Isn’t the Internet wonderful?

I find it much easier to make big posts like this whenever stuff happens instead of writing lots of little ones…
Toribash
I got Toribash a few days ago, it is basically a game where you bash the crap out of an opponent.
It’s not a button smasher sort of thing though, you have control over about 20 ‘muscles’ which you can either relax, hold, contract, extend and in some cases turn left, turn right, raise and lower.
What the Toribash wiki says:
Toribash is a ragdoll-physics, turn-based fighting game created by Hampus Söderström (AKA Hampa), a Swedish software developer. Toribash was a “Best Game Idea” finalist at the 2006 Swedish Game Awards.
The basic aim of the game is to fight the opponent, scoring points for damage. Some limbs break easier then others, others give more points when hit. To get more points, each joint can be relaxed, contracted, extended or held. This makes the gameplay very open-ended as there are no set moves, although many people will copy a move which seems to work well.
Toribash is a shareware game. Simply go to [Toribash.com] to download it. Unlike Direct X, Open GL lets all formats of computers download and play the game including Linux and Mac.
When you do become a registered player it is not just for a month or yearly, it is for life. Many new features await you. You can become an official member of the Toribash forum. [[1]] A widely expanding forum that has been around ever since the administrator Veb, created it. Ever since that occurred, new opportunities awaited for the Toribash game as a whole. Two pieces are better than one.
Toribash has turned into a game that keeps getting better and better as time goes on; a developing experience. It makes the game stay refreshing every time you play it. From new updates, to new capabilites such as joint color, blood color, torso color etc., it all boils down to Toribash being one of the most improved games anyone has ever seen.
Here is a video of some of the stuff you can do:
It can also be artsy:
Crysis
I got Crysis as well and it isn’t really that good. I made a custom config so I could play it with dx10 graphics on my dx9 system and sure it looked stunning but the campaign is pretty crap.
That said the sandbox is pretty awesome. I love making a hundred thousand barrels and just dropping a tornado into it all. I also love tearing down houses with my fists and picking up the enemy and using them to bring down a tank. I also like shooting a guy in the face in pitch darkness, having his friends come over, shine their gun mounted lasers at me, not notice because of my cloak, then me coming up behind them with a rock and crushing their bodies to mush.
Here are some pictures, and by the way, this is not the quality that I normally play on, I can’t stand anything less than 60 fps to I have to turn off DOF and motion blur, and a few other things…
That concludes part 1 of What has happened since the 8th of August.
I saw this movie today called Twelve Monkeys, it’s all about this post apocalyptic Earth where everything has been destroyed by a mutated virus. It was pretty good, but it never solves the story in the end.
He has a dream throughout the film of a guy in an airport getting killed, in the end it turns out it was him that gets killed in the end, lot’s of paradox’s… That old time-travel butterfly theory stuff…
It stars Brat Pitt as a “mentally unstable” person and Bruce Willis as the main character, James Cole.
If you haven’t seen it already you really should.
Nick was telling me about Shooter a few weeks ago, and I just thought it would be another one of those shoot em up kinda things…
So today I went down to blockbuster cause I found $10 in my pocket and felt like playing MOH: Airborne and saw shooter in the new release section… I got it for like $3 extra (some deal) and watched it.
It’s realism is, amazing. The filmmakers employed former U.S. Marine scout sniper Patrick Garrity, in order to train Mark Wahlberg in accurate sniper tactics.
It’s also VERY funny, here are a bunch of quotes, most are out of order.
These are the first lines in the movie;
Donnie Fenn: Movement. Two men. Approximately… forty goats.
Bob Lee Swagger: They’re not on anybody’s side. We don’t have to shoot them.
Swagger goes to Mr. Rate for help;
Mr. Rate: That’s how a conspiracy works. Them boys on the Grassy Knoll they were dead within three hours, buried in the damned desert, unmarked graves out past Terlingua.
Nick Memphis: You know this for a fact?
Mr. Rate: Still got the shovel…
Sarah Fenn: What are you going to do?
Bob Lee Swagger: Exercise my right to bear arms.
Swagger is the sniper, he is going to have a “meeting” with a guy who kidnapped his girl;
Bob Lee Swagger: Where are we meeting?
Colonel Isaac Johnson: Somewhere where I can see you coming from a god damned long way off.
Later on;
Attorney General Russert: Colonel, your moral compass is so fucked up, I’ll be shocked if you manage to find your way back to the parking lot.
Then;
Colonel Isaac Johnson: I won. You lost. Get used to the idea, son.
Bob Lee Swagger: I’m not your son.
Earlier on in the movie, after Nick has gone back to the office.
Howard Purnell: You have embarrassed this office. You will be facing a review from the office of professional responsibilities.
Nick Memphis: Sir, I don’t, I don’t feel embarrassed. A force recon marine scout sniper disarmed me 3 weeks out of the academy, if anything I feel lucky to be alive.
Bob Lee Swagger: They delivered me on a train, wrapped up like a present.
Bob Lee Swagger: There’s going to be more shooting, more people are going to die. I didn’t start it, but I mean to see it through.
Bob Lee Swagger: I got a plan, but I think I’m going to need your help.
Sarah Fenn: Ok. I’ll do it.
Bob Lee Swagger: I haven’t even told you what it is yet.
Sarah Fenn: I know.
I’m not going to give the plot away any more than I already have, if you really want to know what happens, go to the wiki page.
