I've managed to build up a pretty crappy base, but it should do for now - I've got 2 enhancement stores, an arcane workbench and empowerment station, a
tech set, a salvage store, the invention vault & crafting station, and...a medbay.

It's lackluster, bare bones, and sloppy, but it should do.

I've noticed that story fragments in posts have all been reduced to one line extending to and off the edge of the screen. Doubt there's anything to be
done with existing posts but perhaps the forum has a setting or something to keep new ones from dropping into this mode? Anyway just a heads up.

Okay please forgive me if this have been mentioned.

power: compulsive dance from all in AoE or maybe earshot of helmet speakers.

Would be great for stopping riots, sidetracking mass gatherings. One additional thought on this, I've been toying with the idea of creating a style called
"combat dance" for a vaporware story and it's likely if someone like a martial artist could combine the "dance" compulsion with the
fighting they'd likely be quite effective and unopposed while this one is in effect

Did we lose the thread with the link to the Firefly/Serenity video to Wicked's "Defying Gravity" during the Yukufication?

Pursuit Of Happiness

» I'm An Adult Now

Well, I don't hate my parents

I don't get drunk just to spite them

I've got my own reasons to drink now

Think I'll call my dad up and invite him

I can sleep in till noon anytime I want

Though there's not many days that I do

Gotta get up and take on that world

When your an adult it's no cliche it's the truth

(Chorus)

'Cause I'm an adult now

I'm an adult now

I've got the problems of an adult

On my head and on my shoulders

I'm an adult now

I can't even look at young girls anymore

People will think I'm some kind of pervert

Adult sex is either boring or dirty

Young people they can get away with murder

I don't write songs about girls anymore

I have to write songs about women

No more boy meets girl boy loses girl

More like man tries to figure out what the hell went wrong

I can't take any more illicit drugs

I can't afford any artificial joy

I'd sure look like a fool dead in a ditch somewhere

With a mind full of chemicals

Like some cheese-eating high school boy

Sometimes my head hurts and sometimes my stomach hurts

And I guess it won't be long

Till I'm sitting in a room with a bunch

of people whose necks and backs are aching

Whose sight and hearing's failing

Who just can't seem to get it up

Speaking of hearing, I can't take too much loud music

I mean I like to play it, but I sure don't like the racket

Noise, but I can't hear anything

Just guitars screaming, screaming, screaming

Some guy screaming in a leather jacket

Wooah!

(Chorus)

Kickstart My Heart Lyrics

Artist(Band):Motley Crue

When I get high

I get high on speed

Top fuel funny car's

A drug for me

My heart, my heart

Kickstart my heart

Always got the cops

Coming after me

Custom built bike doing 103

My heart, my heart

Kickstart my heart

Ooh,are you ready girls?

Ooh,are you ready now?

Ooh, yeah

Kickstart my heart

Give it a start

Ooh, yeah, baby

Ooh, yeah

Kickstart my heart

Hope it never stops

Ooh, yeah, baby

Skydive naked

From an aeroplane

Or a lady with a

Body from outerspace

My heart, my heart

Kickstart my heart

Say I got trouble

Trouble in my eyes

I'm just looking for Another good time

My heart, my heart

Kickstart my heart

Yeh, are you ready girls?

Yeh, are you ready now?

Ooh, yeah

Kickstart my heart

Give it a start

Ooh, yeah, baby

Ooh, yeah

Kickstart my heart

Hope it never stops

Ooh, yeah, baby

Ooh, kickstart my heart...

When we started this band

All we needed, needed was a laugh

Years gone by...

I'd say we've kicked some ass

When I'm enraged

Or hittin' the stage

Adrenaline rushing

Through my veins

And I'd say we're still kickin' ass

Ooo, ahh, kickstart my heart

Hope it never stops

And to think, we did all of this...

To rock

Ooh, yeah

Kickstart my heart

Give it a start

Ooh, yeah, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-baby

Ooh, yeah

Kickstart my heart

Hope it never stops

Ooh, yeah, baby

Ooh, yeah

Kickstart my heart

Hope it never stops

Ooh, yeah, baby

Ooh, yeah

Kickstart my heart

Give it a start

Ooh, yeah

Ok boys, let's rock the house

That's all.

Well that's some what true. Even if it's more like what I do when I get an urge, one that usually corresponds with being bored. One may wonder just what that urge could be, but one need not. For if they read on they'll find out.
The urge I occasionally get is, I must build something. Now this urge is sometimes satisfied with upgrading or rolling out computers. That's just sometimes as it can become tricky and irritating, something I last solved recently by building a Lego Bulldozer, a Truck and a AT-ST. More recently it re-targeted upon IKEA furniture (Which was good as I was needing a new DVD storage thingy).

Still, the urge comes and goes and the top of me PC's case, now has the revised movie-ed EVA-01 to go with a Lego AT-ST. Next I think a Tachikoma, Big O or a Ingram will in the works.

First of all, get Undertow. It's on XBLA and free right now. (Until Thursday)

Second, I highly recommend some of the following:

1) Project Sylpheed - heavily Gundam and Wing Commander inspired space shooter. Should be sub-$40

2) Earth Defense Force 2017 - a game with such solid gameplay and *atrocious* dubbing it's a cult classic. $20 on Amazon.

3) Condemned - CSI+Silent Hill. Very creepy, very fun. $20

4) Project Gotham 3: - gods, there's zillions of copies of this, and it's really cheap now that 4's out. Great racer. I've seen it for $10.

Allow me to also recommend Eternal Sonata - might not be cheap, but it's a good classic JRPG, with lots of musical overtones, and a history lesson on
Chopin, too!
