Dark One

Is everyone in that family a ******* moron? I mean seriously, you are under no obligation whatsoever to save the life of the man who killed your father, the people you know, is a psychopathic murderer and is delivering you to god knows what. You let the ****** die and you get away. It's pretty much exactly like the end of Batman Begins only this kid doesn't have the sense god gave the common turnip.

There's a new DLC coming out tomorrow for ME3. Retaliation and it's free. Adds more stuff to the MP. There's another one, called Omega, that's supposed to be for the campaign due out sometime this fall. Dunno when exactly.

Thundercats...ah Cheetara...bringing into being a whole new generation of furries.

Never saw Symbionic Titan the first time around, so it's new to me. Very much a Tartakovsky (sic) show as it seems to have heavy Samurai Jack influences.

There was a pretty glaring continuity error in today's YJ. When Kal and Artemis are on the flyer, she has her blonde hair one scene and in the next it's back to being black. Kinda surprised something that big made it through.

Watched Bottle Fairies. My word, the cuteness is overwhelming. It's a short, 2-disc series about a group of 4 small fairies that are learning about being human with the hope of becoming human some day. The episodes are about 15 minutes or so long, so comparable to say Sealab 2021 in length. The only other series that I can think of, that approaches that level of cute is Digi Charat.

Hmmm...thought this would've bee a Will Ferrel/John C. Reilley buddy pic.

That's the thing. This knowledge isn't restricted or hard to access. If there's a bookstore, library, or possibly even a home improvement center nearby, there's a pretty good chance there's at least some information on building a kiln. Hell, if the town has a wood-fire pizza place, there's a good possibility (maybe) that it could be converted to smelting copper.

Got ceramic bricks from pretty much any home improvement store? You can, arguably, build a kiln with them.

Copper doesn't require the usage of high temperature facilities. It was, after all, one of the earliest used metals. There's plenty of spare (and quite pure) copper lying around in the form of household electrical wiring that is now useless. A properly built kiln with a wood fire can get hot enough to melt copper. There had to have been some in places like Chicago that could've been scavenged or hell, just read a book on it.

I would add Eurotrip to the list. Every so often that Scotty Doesn't Know song pops into my head. I think I'll be remembering that song till the day I die...

Went back to watching Beck (I have this bad habit of starting series then starting something else in the middle of it). Nice sedate, music based show. Some of the songs are pretty good.

That Charlie is really getting on my nerves. I would almost think she's bipolar or something, given how she swings back and forth so readily from practically crying over a rebel she just met to coldly shooting a guy with a jury rigged gun. That, and her eyes. Her eyes are creepy as hell IMO. The whole shooting-the-bag bit was stupidly over the top. She's lobing an unfamiliar weighted bolt and managed to hit that backpack dead center at a pretty decent distance while barely aiming? ********.

Would've loved it if Brother had started talking smack about Tinkleton (what I would like to think I would've called him). I don't think he's going to succumb to indoctrination. He's got a little too much hate for the militia, especially the ones that have taken him.

Sniper guy has obviously never learned about target prioritization. You see a guy on horseback with the rest on foot? Shoot the ****** on the horse! I mean, ya, you're going to have to take out the foot soldiers too, but you've got the element of surprise and a tactical advantage to take out your enemy's commanding officer.

Finally, the weapons that the militia were using. I believe those were percussion cap muzzleloaders. They're saying that they can't make the copper casings for bullets, yet they are capable of manufacturing the percussion caps necessary for those weapons to fire (or having a ready supply of the things)? They can accumulate and make mercury fulminate to make the caps, but they can't cast a casing?
