io9 interviews Steven Moffat about Doctor Who. For those that don't know, Moffat is taking over as the executive producer from Russel T. Davies after the specials coming out next year. Season 5 is basically when he starts. It has a little bit of a spoiler for the final episode of season 4, but not much of one.

Today was a weird day... one word - iPhone

[info]lethann and I went to the Marlow's Tavern near our house, it was very tasty. Afterwords we went to see Hellboy 2. Very beautiful movie, VERY. The designs of the monsters are both terrible and beautiful. It is alien, and alluring.

Now I want to see Pan's Labyrinth. I won't buy the DVD, since I will be getting a PS3 later this year, so I will wait.

Debra and I have been playing "Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King" on WiiWare. So far both of us are loving it. We got all of the DLC.

Who else is playing it? I have a secret project I am working on related to MLAAK... and need an artist who also liked MLAAK and who can do pixel art.

I just got back from Wall*E. It was a very enjoyable movie, and I think that move people will like it. Allot more adult (and i don't mean sex... but more complex) humor than I expected.

01:15 pm - Diablo 2 Live
It looks like they finally announced Diablo 3. I am guessing that when this comes out, [info]lethann's soul will be forfeit.

I am surprised that they never ported Diablo 2 to the xBox or the xBox360 Live Arcade. I think it would be a good fit, 'specially for the 360 arcade, they could call it Diablo 2 Live , or something like that.roughly how I would convert it )

Well, I watched this week's Doctor Who. For having very little Doctor, I loved it. It really showed how much of a wonderful life that Donna Noble has. I am looking forward to the season ending now, because I want to see what they do with this.

11:20 am - Lamentation of their women.
I played a little bit of Age of Conan at Battle and Brew last night (Friday). They have two house accounts, so I got to build a char, and try things out.

Overall, I liked it. Combat is much more interactive, and honestly, harder because of it. The lack of move through took a little getting used to, but once I remapped the strafe buttons to what I felt comfortable with, it all worked. You don't really target mobs in AoC, instead you aim your self, and swing. You can target things, but it does not seam to matter all that much when attacking, since you will hit everything that your swing connects with. Positioning matters for allot in this game.

The game is a mature game, and is not meant for kids. Doesn't mean they won't be playing it, it just means that a parent has to ignore their parental duty and buy them the game with out paying attention, and activate it with out paying attention.

There was one bit of AoC that I found interesting... night mode. You can enter a "single player" mode of AoC to run your quests. Basically certain quest givers allow you to "wait for nightfall" were you enter a single player mode of AoC. Nobody else is there to grief you, kill steal, or stuff like that. Most of the vendors are closed, and I am sure there is other restrictions, but it is an interesting way to handle the beginning quests being over farmed/populated. I remember killing deer in the night elf starting area on day one of WoW... the hunt for Bambie's mother was brutal, and there must have been 40 long ears all camping those bloody deer.

Apparently the night mode is available on a PvP server, I played on a PvE to test, which to me seams like a contradiction. If you have a non consensual PvP server, the players should not be able to opt out of player interaction. Meh, maybe it works, who knows, I did not try a PvP server for my little bit of AoC.

Gear does not seam to be a big deal. I am not sure if this is intentional or not, but talking to people, even at the high levels there is not a race for the loot. Gear seams to be interchangeable allot. Maybe they will fix it later, who knows.

This game looks interesting, I actually think [info]lethann might like it. I wonder if it will come out for the 360.

02:32 pm - My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!
A line in the sand, over time, is just grains on the beach.

Why is drawing a line in the sand such a romanticized concept? We draw a line in the sand and will go no further. We draw a line in the sand and will hold them here. A line in the sand is just something drawn, a place you feel is important, which was not important before. And after the tide, will no longer be important again.

A man draws a line in the sand, and stands defending it. Life is lost over this line, wars are fought, agony endured. When the man looks down, the wind has blurred the line, and the sand remains, stained in his sweat. What price was this line, this boundary of sand, what cost was a man's pride?

You yourself draw up lines in the sand. Walls where you will not cross, where you do not allow others to cross. Boundaries give us comfort, give us a sense of freedom in a way, since it shuts out the unknown. You know your side of the line, and if you don't cross that line, you only worry about what you can see. Your own lines in the sand trap you, limit you. After standing, after living for time, you can forget what the lines were for.

Why did you draw that line in the sand, that boundary you will not cross. When time has passed, and memory fades, all you see is the line. Blurred as it is, you step across that line. The crossing of one line begets another, and you find your self walking into the unknown.

And you learn the price of wisdom, for the line had a purpose.
