Post Apocalyptic Tuesday for the Rookery

Opens door to the rookery and to everyone surprise there are minefields, machine guns, zombehs, Battle FBBCs, and a Sack Tank with a count logan death star hovering

welcome to WAR GAMES....

coffee n donuts are being served in the attic

You see, I got my shipment today for my items for my DS Lite. All is well and fine. About 10 minutes ago, I opened up my DS Lite, and the hinge just snapped off. Waiting 3 weeks and then to send it to Nintendo would take another 3 weeks. I guess I'm out the cost of a new DS Lite (was planning on buying a DSi to suppliment this DS Lite) but looks like that plan is gone.

Sigh, hope tape works as a temporary solution until the stores open.

Tape does not work as a temporary solution. Only will use glue if Nintendo says they will not fix it (for free)

/e flutters in from downstairs noticing the mushroom cloud.

Again?

/e sighs and turns on the record player.

Not a hugely upbeat way to start the day but perhaps a long spate of puncutated evolution will kick off from all this....

/e begins sprouting titanium feathers and razor claws.

OOk! Too soon! and why do I now crave Three Musketeer flavored salsa?

/e starts rummaging through the pantry for said salsa ingredients.

It is 5am.
I cannot sleep anymore. The rays of Mr. Sandman have not effected me. I am awake.
The disaster that effected the device called 'Nintendo DS Lite' has been in my mind. Shall I go to the replacement center and get a new copy (another DS Lite) as well as call the company that made it to see if a repair is free? If it is not free, I'm getting another one. If it is free, I'm getting another one.

Disaster after disaster has befallen me. The Nintendo DS Lite delivery that has enhanced my gameplay has also been the downfall of the old, defective unit. Stay true, my old system. You may be repaired. Only time will tell if it'll be free.

(( My DS Lite was an old white unit, which had a cracked hinge. I went to play it around the time of my previous post. I opened it, and that's when it catastrophically failed. I was planning on getting a DSi in September to supplement the DS Lite. Plans changed unexpectedly. At least I'm going to the EB Games on a Tuesday which is Taco Tuesday at Tacotime in the mall there. New DS Lite will meet new cart. Old DS Lite, if it's repair is free, will meet Nintendo. If not, it'll be a bit before I send it off. Mom will get that one along with my old stuff)

Rad whats the difference between the DS and the DS lite? If you have had that many problems with it maybe you just got a lemon and should get another one.

Hey, haven't we overdone the whole "Post Apocalyptic" thing? Also, I really don't think we should tag Rookery threads with Virtue. I mean seriously, we do not represent the whole server, people.

Sorry if I seem mean or anything, I'm just sayin' ...

Anyways, good morning and have a good day everyone, even Count Logan.

DS is large and unwieldy. Can't play it. DS Lite is not. My white one lasted a good 2 years. Just a defective model originally.

I'm looking towards the cobalt/black one. I still have my spare screen protectors for a DS Lite that I haven't used yet (yay!)

*fights her way down to the kitchen, shooting a bunch of ghouls and zombies before tossing a grenade and slamming the door shut. Grabbing and ice cold Nuka-Cola she takes a big swig*

To much post apocalyptia? Is that possible? Good morning everyone. You all have such a lovely glow today.

Morning Emmi and Neko!

Well Puppeh started it and then Logan had to go an nuke the place. Pesonally, my mutations are nice, I can slice through walls with these new x-ionized titanium wings.

/e glees.

Good thing too I'd have hated to gotten shafted like Doug Ramsey. Weee. I can translate any language.

Although....

/e reaches up to rub chin with a x-ionized wing and then thinks better of it.

Being able to translate ANY language could be a very useful skill especially if it allowed one to determine the very fabric of existence. Could make one a very powerful mutant indeed.

Still though super sharp wing mutations is still fun.

/e affects announcer voice, "In Rookery, the wing can be used like a knife! But you wouldn't want to a tomato with it! Until NOW!"

/e makes salsa out of a tomato then sprinkles Three Musketeer bars bits all over it.

Neko, do we have ghouls in the kitchen again?

Yes, but Doug Ramsey also has Psylocke with the hots for him. And you know, that covers for any kind of sucky mutation. And yup, ghouls in the kitchen. You know they're like roaches, once you see one, there's dozen more hiding around you can't see. Darn it people, you know you shouldn't leave your brains lying around. It just attracts them.

When did Psylocke have the hots for him? When she ran around in pink poofy pants as Betsy Braddock or later when she was super hottie ninja girl? Cause I thought he was *ahem* dead by then?

You mean like rad roaches right?

It's my brain it can go where it wants! I just wish it would leave a note sometimes and tell me some of the things it has done, especially when it comes back smelling of alcohol and has tattoes on its medulla oblongata of Bea Arthur in a corset. Man I wish I knew what happened to my brain THAT night.

/e sighs.

Puppeh was tending to Rookery 2.0 last night so I'm guessing he didn't think about the fact that post apocalyptic had been done.

*sits down at his massive console pushing buttons at random*

BOOGER!!!

*watches Redmond get nukes as he drinks his coffee*

Mmmmm... Integrate that ya goofs. Ok, who is next to anger the almighty Shecky?

Mornign Attercap and Tech and Overlord Shecky!

I like Chess...


Bangkok, Oriental setting
And the city don't know that the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world in a
Show with everything but Yul Brynner

Time flies -- doesn't seem a minute
Since the Tirolean spa had the chess boys in it
All change -- don't you know that when you
Play at this level there's no ordinary venue

It's Iceland -- or the Philippines -- or Hastings -- or --
or this place!


One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
And if you're lucky then the god's a she
I can feel an angel sliding up to me


One town's very like another
When your head's down over your pieces, brother


It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity
To be looking at the board, not looking at the city


Whaddya mean? Ya seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town --


Tea, girls, warm, sweet
Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite

Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist
Whose every move's among the purest
I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine


One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me


Siam's gonna be the witness
To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
This grips me more than would a
Muddy old river or reclining Buddha

And thank God I'm only watching the game -- controlling it --

I don't see you guys rating
The kind of mate I'm contemplating
I'd let you watch, I would invite you
But the queens we use would not excite you

So you better go back to your bars, your temples, your massage
parlours --


One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
A little flesh, a little history
I can feel an angel sliding up to me

One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me.

It was during the pink poofy costume phase, Rooky. Specifically it started in the New Mutants annual she and Mojo were added to the X-Books. They made it very clear at the end of the book that they had feelings for each other, and there were some references in the NM and X-books about it, but nothing was ever made of it. Then Doug got the hots for Rahne and became deadified while Betsy turned from posh Brit supermodel to generic ninja #2328 and it was never spoken of again. They probably decided to shy away from the whole thing because of the age angle... He was what, 14 or 15 and she was in her 30's... That and the New Mutants changed writers so fast, and that's pretty much I believe when the suckitude started setting in big time, leaving us with Rob "arms bigger than their heads and guns everywhere! Totally not compensating!" Liefeld.

Ah thanks for the reminder Neko, I could see how that might not play to well to some folks.

Ah yeah thats about the time I stopped reading New Mutants. Leifield also had a think for full pockets too and odd poofy armor and face masks, like boxer training things.

/e flutters up to the bannister and in the process slices through three hanging lights.

Hrmm, I see there are some downsides to supersharp wings. Not many, but some.

*looks at his monitors and pushes a few more buttons*

BWHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! You not hold up toilet seat so you bangkok!

*Watches Bangkok turn to rubble*

Morning Rook!

They also make giving hugs difficult.

*hops up and tries to give Rook a hug, but slices her arms off*

Oh bother...

*jumps in a big pool of radiated water until the arms grow back, then holds up a brand new thumb in a victory gesture*

Thanks Moira!

Okay, back to reality for a moment...

My DS Lite that was broken would not be repaired for free. I'd need to pay to repair it anyways, so that can go on hold a bit. I guess I could try a repair on my own then since if I break it, they'd fix it anyways.

I will not be buying a DSi at this time since it's not a worthy purchase. The DSi only has cameras with horrible resolution and an app store (not to mention it lacks the GBA slot, and I play GBA games).

So, I'll try to get a cobalt/black DS lite, since those are sexy.

I collected NM through the end of the Mutant Massacre. I even have the Magick 1-4 special mini-series that covers her origin and what S'ym and the soulsword actually are.
