| Your post didn't contribute anything, Murdock. It's borderline spam.
I got one more, but only because I see him once a week or so--the gas station attendant. I don't really talk to him much, just enough to tell him what pump and how much, but he seems to always be eager to strike up a conversation with me regardless of how busy I might be. I guess he figures he's got me while he's setting up the pump. |

| On the contrary, I can talk. I can be bitter, and I can be an asshole, and I can do whatever I want to do or say. Why? I'm no longer an agent of the US Government, so I've regained my rights as an American to my limited freedom and freedom of speech. Also, my inherent pursuit of happiness...ergo, I can be all those things if I choose to do so because it gives some sick form of joy.
[ EDITED FOR CONTENT ] Steve's gone, it was tragic, that's it. If anything, he's managed to continue his education of stingrays through his death. Brought worldwide awareness of a specie of animal that not many people on this planet knew could kill a man. He's immortalized in his work and his television shows. Is it possible to just drop the subject now? Or, do we need to continue attacking me and FX for having opinions that don't fall within the norm? P.S., I still don't like FX...I just tolerate him. Xeo, can you talk to my bosses about being immature and stupid...it might help my promotion...and, I'll stop because I can let things go. (Last edited by Zabuza on 09-06-06 04:38 AM) |

| But, it is dependent on the owner. I mean, my work computer has no gender because I don't identify with it as mine. It's just a tool I use at work, a genderless object occupying my (shared) desk.
My laptops vary from male to female depending on how bitchy their operation is. Most of the laptops are female though, the Toughbook is the only male, I think. |

| How does FX get to double post?
Anyway, I just filled a small portion of my bio with userbars, not that I really care for them or would use them elsewhere. My only other board that I visit is primarily used for work purposes, so I don't personalize my signature or profile there at all. I would like to see a QA Tester userbar, but those would have to be catered for each gaming company. (Last edited by Zabuza on 09-06-06 04:47 AM) |

| Money: It's never really mine. I'm just holding it as the middle man between my work and my collectors.
Fame: Day crew thinks I'm an arrogant bastard, and night crew just loves me as their BREW guy. Other than that, I'm a nobody. Rock & Roll: YEAH!! Let's rock the car!! Not that much, it'll flip over...dammit, too late. |

IKEA SOLVES EVERYTHING!!Well, no, not really. Mostly the friend experience does that. But, you've got work on Saturday. I've got weekends off.I don't know. I could tell you just to let it all go; but even I'm finding that I can't do that anymore. We all got stress, especially when you're working for whatever reasons or goal (or being underappreciated at work). I send you a virtual hug, and a standing invitation to visit Whitey (when he's loose or he manages to get out of his leash). Can't really help anywhere else. I mean, I spend my days sleeping, and going to work. I make "Ask a BREW Ninja" videos when I get home at four in the morning, and "Adventures of a Gay Man" whenever I get around to editing those vids. I write when I'm bored, at least start my famous trademark cliffhangers--the ones I never intend on finishing--and sit down to draw things I also never finish. But, then, I've got a tub of Legos. Go play with Legos. |

| Ghostbusters has been released back in the NES days and is being released for cell phones.
Blade has also been released prior for PS2 and that generation of consoles. We used an E3 copy of it for QA tester training at Activision. Although, Firefly would be an awesome game. However, I don't think it can be formatted as GTA style. Probably mission-based GTA freeroam, like the Simpsons Hit & Run style or similar. I've been deluded by the gaming industry, so I really can't think of anything I'd like to see because I either already know what's coming out, or I really don't want to see anything be made yet. Although, as sadistic as I am, I'd love to make some kind of TSA-oriented game strictly for the purpose of making fun of them. I'd like to see if EA makes a sequel to SimCity 4--although, I really think Spore is just the way-better sequel to the SimCity series. I'd like to see some kind of Monty Python game for consoles. I know stuff, but can't talk about it. |

| They arrived at a police standoff back at the OnSight building in Santa Monica. SWAT teams stood outside in the parking lot, rifles trained at the windows of the building. The parking lot had been evacuated as well as the other businesses and schools around the building.
"Carter, what's going on?" Howard parked the car next to a SWAT van, zipped on a kevlar vest and walked up to the van. "Well, I found Mr. Dwiers. He's in the building, is an active employee of OnSight, is claiming responsibility for the other murders, and is holding the entire building hostage. Intelligence reveals that he has help, and all three floors are electronically wired to motion-sensored explosives. He's also holding hostages in every single room on every single floor that contains windows." "So that if SWAT shoots out a window, they kill the hostages as well," Howard scratched his five-o'clock shadow chin, "how clever. Almost reads like a novel I read a long time ago." "Sir?" Carter inquired zipping on his kevlar vest. "I had a friend, actually, he's a producer now for some gaming company up north; he used to write a lot of short stories and novels. Best known for being incredibly detailed in his books," Howard paused, squinting his eyes in thought, "Carter? Find me 'Will Not Fix' by Wesley Almundbarre. Oh, and see if you can figure out if our man has read that novel or not." Carter nodded and ran off, cell phone in hand, towards the car. Howard walked up to the lead SWAT officer, "Hello. So, how long's it been?" "Good afternoon, sir. Um, it's been close to two hours. He's already killed a security guard on the third floor, and has made no further contact. We're working on getting a helicopter to come in through the roof." Howard shook his head, "No good, he's probably got the roof wired with explosives as well, and the atriums probably have people guarding them. Oh, and whatever you do, don't shoot the second-floor conference room window, no matter how much your guys might think it would be good to take someone out." The SWAT officer gave him a perplexed look, but said nothing in return. It appeared as though Dwiers had read through the novel, and could possibly had rigged up the entire building in the same manner. But, there was a weak spot, implied and not written. "I'm heading towards the building, try to negotiate something. They're probably not going to shoot outwards; it would involve breaching their fortress," Howard walked towards the building, gun in hand, up to a wall of SWAT personnel. He quickly dialed the main number, and sat waiting for someone to answer the phone. A heavily armored QA tester walked nonchalantly passed the front glass doors to the lobby, and answered the phone. "Yeah? What you want?" "Where's Dwiers? Let me talk to him. I'm Detective Howard, with the Los Angeles Police Department," Howard leaned on the crouched row of SWAT sharpshooters, "I can meet his demands. Ask him if he knows about 'Will Not Fix'." "What the fuck are you talking about, man?" an exasperated sigh came from the tester, "Fine, please hold while I transfer your call." "Heh. They're still operating on a level of diplomacy," he glanced up towards the second floor window above the main doors, "and they're playing ping pong on the second floor. Ah, the joys of wiring an entire building." "We're killing the power to the building!" came a yell from somewhere behind Howard. Howard turned and ran towards the SWAT sargeant, tackling him to the ground, "No! You will not cut the power! Why the fuck do you wanna do that shit?" "Kill the power to their computer systems and magnetic locking doors, dipshit." "No. It's not going to work. They have rigged the redundant systems." "That's impossible, they've only been hold up for two hours." Howard stood up, helping the sargeant to his feet, "You think they didn't plan this over the last month? You think they just managed to wire and take an entire building in a couple of hours? And, have the help of an entire night crew? No. It doesn't work that way," Howard looked around the street, spotting a book store, "Look, send one of your men over to that bookstore. See if you can find a book entitled 'Will Not Fix' by Wesley Almundbarre. Read it." "I don't have the time to read a fucking book, Detective." "Then you obviously don't care for the lives of those being held inside," Howard turned and held the phone back up to his ear. "This is Cross, what do you want?" "You've been a busy man this morning, haven't you?" "Insomnia. Gotta do something. Besides, playing with shrink wrap is fun." Howard moved closer to the glass doors, "Why take a former job, Cross? Why take the building? Fulfilling some sick fantasy." "Maybe," Cross whispered into the phone, "I'd say it's more like playing a game. A lethal game, but still a game. Except, these enemies don't respawn." "What do you want, Cross?" "Too early, call back. I've got a Halo tournament to play," he hung up. Howard stomped his foot on the ground, visually tracing the motion sensor pasted onto the glass door, leading around to a small smattering of C6 placed on the bottom of the doors. Carter walked up, holding a book and bringing a tall man in tow. "Guess who I found doing a signing at Borders in Westwood?" Howard turned around, "Wesley?" he pointed to the building, "Look, it's your masterpiece in progress. And, what, three weeks before the theatrical release that just finished filming over there last year? I told you your mind is a dangerous thing, at least to other people." Wesley shrugged, walking back with Howard and Carter to their car, "So, a fan has managed to recreate my novel in its entirety already? Wow, I figured I'd be the first to do it that day I'd snap." "Yes, but unlike your character, he's been busy murdering former co-workers and bosses all morning." "Oh, I thought about doing that, but I wanted to keep it within the building. Never really thought someone could actually do it, though. The systems aren't wired exactly as I detailed in the book. I wonder how he acquired the C6." Howard pulled out the file he acquired from Skyscraper, "he's former ASS." "Oh, well then, that makes sense. Wait, I might know him, then...um...Cross Dwiers?" Howard was astounded, "How did you know?" "You didn't think I made up the name Cross Dwiers, did you? Dude and I worked together at OnSight. He helped me write the novel." "Great." Howard sighed sitting on his car's trunk. A gunshot rang inside the building, coming from deep within, "They've started the Halo tournament." "Oh," Wesley sighed.

| At least your car is just suffering from being hit by a parked car. Mine is just being lame with one expensive repair following another expensive repair. I'm looking to spend at least $3000 on him this year alone. But meditation is really good. I'd be a much more bitter person without it. | |||

| I have all of those tools. I'm just lacking motivation, mostly.
Meh, I'll do it over the weekend. If you'll help. I think we should use Miko and Fappy. It's odd that Cairoi calls them American Heroes when they're British, and they're a British pop band. (Last edited by Zabuza on 09-08-06 05:19 AM) |

| I'm tying this one in to "Will Not Fix". Same premise as the Paradox Island Series, POV of the same story, but this one happens outside from the POV of the investigating detective. The other one, "Will Not Fix", happens inside from an omnipresent/omnicient POV of the four testers involved in the stand-off. Except, the Halo tournament doesn't happen in "Will Not Fix" for at least a few more chapters. "Howard" picks up on it about seven hours into the whole thing; the police just think it's been two hours when he arrives. And, since the first chapter of "Will Not Fix" is just half-an-hour into that afternoon (on a different story plane, not exactly in line with this one--the "Will Not Fix" in "Howard" is just a novel being redone by copy-cats while the "Will Not Fix" I'm writing is the novel (I don't know if that makes sense)--one occurs in the morning; the other in the afternoon), it implies some sort of time warping...except that there are two versions of "Will Not Fix".
In "Howard", it makes mention to Wesley's story--"Will Not Fix". In relation to "Howard", this fictional story is being carried out, with a few changes, in his real life as a standoff in the real (fictional in the our universe) OnSight company. In relation to our world, "Will Not Fix" is the same story that the Detective Howard character is referring to in "Howard". So, both version, while related, are not the same story. Does that make sense? Just accept it as a convolution of two stories that are similar but different. In "Will Not Fix" (my version, not Wesley's), Cross Dwiers is completely made up. He doesn't exist. He's a combination of myself and a few other people. In "Will Not Fix" (Wesley's, not "mine"), Cross Dwiers is a real person (in the "Howard" world) that he based his Cross Dwiers character on. Wesley is using something that I do in real life: I use friends names for characters, and just capture their personalities. The exception, is the "Howard" story and "Juice", I think, thus far. Wesley is my alter-ego, if it helps. Howard is an alter-ego. Cross is an alter-ego. I don't know. I know how the whole thing works...moving on: "Halo tournament, sir?" Carter asked turning to face Wesley. "Yes," Wesley started thumbing through a copy of his novel, "it's the point in the story when the night crew testers force the day crew testers into a tournament pitting each crew against each other. The difference is that when a day crew tester is killed, he's really killed off by one of the night crew members." "Ah," Carter thought for a moment, "and if a day crew member kills a night crew member?" "They're killed in a more painful, slower manner. Or switched up," Howard interrupted. He was a great fan of most of Wesley's works, but suspected that even Wes had the potential to carry out excellently planned criminal acts without the suspicion of the authorities. "So, what you're saying is that he's started executing his hostages?" Carter turned to face the building as another gunshot rang within. Howard nodded, "Unfortunately, yes. Now, where the fuck is our negotiator. I hope they can read quickly." Howard walked towards the SWAT sargeant, explaining the situation to him and how they couldn't act upon it. He turned to face a nervous Wesley, "They're following your novel out of order--the Halo tournament didn't occur until day two. Do you think Cross is willing to destroy all of day crew?" Wesley leaned up against a SWAT truck, "I don't think he'll stop with day crew. See, Cross doesn't like people in general. I'm sure he'll be done once he's killed off everyone he hates--day and night crews included." Howard's eyes widened, "Excellent. Thanks for not writing that into your book." Wesley straightened up, "It was implied, Jeff." (Last edited by Zabuza on 09-08-06 12:00 PM) |

| Well, I've got the PT Cruiser all weekend while my car is being looked at. I think I'll be out with Mayra on Saturday though.
I tried animating it today. Came to conclusion that I don't like drawing. I'll just end up doing it in MSPaint. |

| I saw it at E3, but forgot to look into it further while I still worked for EA Games. I tried to get another look at it, but also forgot as I was distracted by shiny gaming freebies in the Activision booth.
But, if its as good as the Sims series, maybe I'll pick it up. |

I have an online store (that I'm not gonna advertise here, you'd have to PM me for that). Anyway, came up with this design and use it as a logo for my (future) mobile gaming development company: Shuriken Handset
Thought it conveyed a general emotion about cell phones. (Last edited by Zabuza on 09-11-06 07:34 PM) |
