The gf and I started watching Twin Peaks a couple of nights ago. For some reason I wasn't expecting it to get weird so quickly, but I probably should have been.
I graduate in two weeks barring any massive fuck ups. Enjoy the cushion of a year because those final two weeks are like hell on earth.
o_O
Oh, Mim. You so dramatic.
I'm not dramatic. In my situation, I just have a massive onslaught of work ahead of me while also needing to set up appointments with school counselors and invite people to graduation without pissing people off.
Adding to the fact that I am increasingly becoming lazier and have been sleeping more than I ought to be because that's my way of escaping stress, it's hell on earth!

Why you pinching me? I just passed my karate final, don't get your arm broke.
the 4e DMG has a pretty insightful chapter on RPG gamer types (based on Robin Laws' work) and how to cater to them effectively and defuse conflicts that arise. it acknowledges, for instance, the Lurker, the dude or lady who is largely there because their friends are rather than because they want to play D&D, and has some good tips for how to keep them engaged while recognizing that their engagement likely has a ceiling.
naturally this chapter was angrily called out by many reviewers as being stupid new-school hippie gay bullshit
That sounds interesting. I have a copy of the 4e DMG at home. I should read that.
The 4E DMGs are both pretty great books. Almost nobody seems to have read either of them.

MMO theorycraft comes mostly from the very fine tuning dungeons in MMOs have.
If you have a suboptimal build, you may endanger the goal for the entire team.
Shit, during my hightier WoW days you'd actually play with mods that predicted your latency in order to autocancel the current cast and start the next, to do more damage.

Back in my EQ days, we had to cast all of our spells by hand and remember when spells were going to wear off. None of this addon nonsense. I hear you guys don't even lose experience for dying anymore either.

I graduate too! I have this terrible anxiety that somehow I am going to fuck it all up and ruin my grad school plans. I don't think I'm anywhere close to that but I feel so terrified.
My mom wants me to go to grad school. I will only go if I find something I can really sink my teeth into and not a second before.
Until then, gotta find a job.
find a job for me, meem, so I can go to grad school

if White Wolf had released an updated version of Aberrant that took upon it all the revisions of nWoD's system (like the elimination of Soak mechanics, for example)
then I would've happily used that instead of M&M for my superhero game
I even tried several different methods of doing a conversion or inspired-adaptation myself, doing everything from trying to straight convert it to jiggering Mage to work to whatever
it became too frustrating and i eventualyl said fuck it
and used M&M
it was a shitty compromise

And Pony, some of the fight slowness last night was neophyte characters who were holding back against a group of idiots.
some of it, like the Toughness issue, comes up in all M&M games
the Toughness mechanic is REALLY WONKY and needs to be looked at with a hard eye
Toughness makes sense in a four color campaign where your gonna be punching people through buildings and it doesn't even really faze the character. For more gritty campaigns the solution I'd look at is making the toughness save Attack PL + 20 rather then +15. It means high toughness characters will take bruises more often but shrug off dazes and stuns. And low toughness characters will splatter if the dice don't go their way.

I'd definitely love to see a revival of that universe in general. Trinity had a great setting, IMHO. Oh well.

when you wanted to regen mana you'd actually have to read your spell book
It had better be your plan to go see some damn free films.

I've got an internet reseller on the phone, trouble shooting one of our lines that one of their clients uses. I'm on hold and the telephone music is Weird Al's Achy Breaky Song.

I figure it's because of the DVD re-release a few years back (2007?) and now Netflix.

I SAID. I figured out the who the killer was midway through season 1.

Same here. Do yours end up with you waking up in a seedy Motel 6 with a sore butthole too?
