A “Quote”

Straight from the Horses mouth:

Jbj “You realize, Alex… you may be the Wisest Man in America?”

Can’t make this up, folks.

Fitness, Precipice, Academia. Also, Warcraft Sex.

As anyone following my twitter feed (all twelve of you, Also Barack) I have been playing Wii Fit as of last wednesday, and… well, I feel healther, but the damn scale keeps going up. In any case, I highly reccomend it – it certainley makes you think twice before picking up that bag of cheetoes. It is rough, considering temptation is right down the street. Also, I am considering switching to Coke Zero… We’ll see.

I’ve also been doting around the Penny-Arcade game, On the Rain Slick Precipice of Darkness. Literally available everywhere (mac, linux, PC, Xbox) I am playing it on the PC and it is easily one of the funnest games out there. It’s irreverant comedy and fun gameplay almost distract me from the fact it is groundbreaking- what other webcomics can boast they have contribute so much to the genre they parody so perfectly. Oh, that’s right – Penny-Arcade.

In School news; Best semester ever, just in time for my special studies push. I’ll be working with Doc on the advising thing, who I am surprised does not want to kill me, after what I have done to his son. To be honest, I am more than excited – the academic process has always intrigued me, and now that i have a leg to stand on academic-wise, it will be fun. After some thought this year, I have decided to indulge the once ignored thoughts and change my goal: I’d love to be a Professor, get a doctorate and some rougeish chap to call my Protege. I’ll give credit where it is due.

Meanwhile, I came upon this while reddit-ing earlier today (in a wii-fit induced pain crunch). Most interesting to me is the information near the bottom: Apparently the Alpha software had much more brute versions of the Troll and Tauren Females, ones that match the looks of the male species. In the Case of the Troll, the posture is actually what piques my interest. The Male troll is hunched over, with large knees and and arched spine suggesting that crouching or squatting is a common position for the species- any male troll players will know this to be true, and by the alpha shot of the female troll, it is reflected. However, in the final release of the game, we see a much more slender, or as the article suggests, ‘pretty’ version of the troll female. Ultimately, it looks like realism was sacrificed in the name of vanity- understandable, but somewhat reflective of overall culture. There are some relative realism between the sexes- I mean, the Orc women could pretty much tear me in half and Tauren females aren’t exactly anorexic- but looking at the differences between Draenei male and female, I have to wonder how these particular species mate…. I mean, you could probably fit three women in the chest space of a draenei male.

I may post on this in the future, as my girlfriend is a staunch player and supporter of troll females -I am curious to know which she prefers, the current version or the rougher alpha. Regardless, I still think she is Hawt.

Finally

My youtube project from Doc’s class all set and ready for veiwmafication. Enjoy.
