Obsessions
Just a few of the things that the llama collects, some day I'll upload my Warmachine army after I get my Cryx painted.

Virtuality
Grr... so I just watched Ron Moore's new sorta TV-show premiere, sorta TV-movie Virtuality. If you live in the US you should too.
I'm angry and a little bit hurt, not because it's bad. No, quite to the contrary it has all the makings of what could be a great show, mystery, drama, intrigue. Chances are, it never will become one. I'm angry because it only got a handful of viewers last Friday, potentially ruining the slim chance it had of becoming a continued series. However getting shoved into the Friday night death slot, in the summer in the same week as a major movie release, I'm not sure how many viewers they could have been realistically expecting.
Words of wisdom to any aspiring young writers or directors: If you've got some sort of brilliant idea for something fresh or smart, don't go to Fox. Seriously, the corpses of Firefly, Arrested Development, Futurama and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles are still rotting on their front porch.
I desperately want this to get picked up. Maybe this will receive the same grace that Dollhouse did?

Two in one
Bill Nye the Science Guy playing William Shatner. One of the more surreal things I've seen.

Blast from the 31st century past.
Man... when someone fails us, leave it up to the fans to salvage something from it.
However, there is this Crysis mod entitled "MechWarrior: Living Legends".
Let no mistake be made, when I was an 11 year-old llama, there was nothing more awesome than Mechwarrior 2. I played the hell out of that game, and the series has always been dear to my heart. Even though in recent years it's veered more towards straight up action instead of simulation. Despite that, I still love to play Mechassault: Phantom War on my DS despite its flaws.
There has been nothing on the horizon for any Battletech/Mechwarrior/Mechassault fans in a long time. Seems like Mechassault 2 is going to be the last game in the series for the near future.

So far it's not looking too shabby.
Here's hoping it gets to see the light of day.
