  • 01:17 140-Character Tweet Review: Clash of the Titans – $125 million b-movie #tweetreview #
  • 01:26 Sure, giant killer scorpion was cool … but half a dozen of them just seemed like overkill. #
  • 01:27 Not nearly as bad as 2012 where it just felt like they had effects budget to burn through at times, but still very flashy over substance. #
  • 01:28 Maybe THAT’S what this one needed – Perseus defeats the Kraken by RIDING A RUNAWAY SUBWAY TRAIN THROUGH ITS HEART. YES!!! #
  • 01:28 No? #
  • 01:35 One last comment before bed – the 3d was pretty much pointl
    ess, except in causing confusion in the parking garage after the movie. #
  • 01:36 Alice in 3d was ok, but if they’re going to be more like Clash, I might actually actively seek out the non-3d versions going forward. #
  • 01:37 Or better yet, we can just give up this 3d gimmick and find something that actually adds value to the movies … LIKE A GOOD SCRIPT! #
  • 01:37 There. Now I’m done… 🙂 #

My fingers have been tingling for almost 3 hours now…

Posted on by Scott / 2 Comments

(Note: If it wasn’t for the fact that Tech Month is already in full swing and I’ve got almost two months of columns scheduled going forward, this would’ve been so easy to turn into a humor column, but I digress…)

So I tried to be productive when I got home, and do you know where it got me? Tingly hands – that’s where!

I’ve been meaning to pull some weeds out front for a while before they really get out of control, so when I got home a little early today when it was still light out and with the garbage can conveniently not filled and thus ready for the disposing of said weeds, I pretty much just threw my stuff inside the door and got right to pulling. Normally the weeds out front aren’t too bad as long as we get them early – maybe a few stragglers that would fight to dwarf the actual plants if left to grow, but this time nothing huge. Halfway down the sidewalk, I was pretty impressed with just how quickly it was going and figured that another five minutes and I’d be back inside making a homemade pizza for dinner…

It was then that I reached to grab a bad weed.

At first it just seemed like it had little thorns on it, so I (foolishly) pressed forward, tried to navigate around them the best I could, and continued to yank the thing from the flower bed. Oddly enough, though, when I had finally raised it and it was several feet away from me in the garbage can, I couldn’t help but notice that … well … my hands still hurt!

I kept going, and they kept hurting/tingling until finally I realized that I either needed to stop or find a pair of gloves or something because it had rapidly gone from irritating pain to “Wow, that does really hurt!” pain. I even came in and tried washing my hands, but it only seemed to mildly subside.

Anyways, I was able to find a pair of rubber gloves (which looked kinda silly, but whatever) and finished the last of the weeding so at least the job is done, but I still think it’s odd that here three hours later, I’m still feeling the effects of whatever the hell those damn weeds’ defense mechanism was! I’m still not entirely sure if they’re some sort of very tiny, micro needles that are still attached to my skin, or possibly an oil or something that’s acting as an irritant. Fortunately, it’s died down to a persistent pins and needles feeling throughout my fingers with only the occasional sharper pains, but I still hope that by tomorrow it’ll have worn off altogether!

Still, leftover battle scars or not, they’re the ones lying in a heap in the woods behind our house instead of standing tall in the middle of our garden, so I win.

Tellah, you old fool!

All he wanted to do was avenge his daughter, Anna, but Meteo was just much too powerful for him to wield.

On the upside, though, at least now we have some room in our party for people who can actually, well, remember all of their own spells…

Twasted Twime, revisited…

I found this old post while spending some time tagging on LiveJournal, so I thought it’d be interesting to get the 2010 update, as such…

Scott Sevener has 2,454 total tweets and assuming they spent an average of 30 seconds per tweet they’ve spent 73,620 Seconds or 1,227 Minutes or 20.45 Hours or 0.85 Days using Twitter!
Only 20.45 hours hours of Twittering? I bet people tell you you’re a good listener, don’t they?

Wow – in 15 months, that still seems like a lot to me! We’ve tweeted a long way, baby…

leveling in vain

Posted on by Scott / 2 Comments

One thing that I really like about the Final Fantasy series is that, at least in the ones that I can remember, you never have to worry about leveling up people who aren’t in your party at the time.

Example:
For those of you who know FF2, I just retrieved the Crystal of Earth and I’m about ready to go face down Golbez in the Tower of Zot. At the end of that area, I’ll lose one party member (Tellah) and gain two others (Kain & Rosa). Now, I’ve spent the last couple of hours leveling my current party because I’m in a really good place to do so, however when this party shift does take place in a bit, Kain & Rosa will join my party with roughly the same levels as everyone else.

Leveling can often times be tedious as it is, so I like the idea that I don’t have to think, “Ok, now these three are at level 30, but when the others join, we’ll need to go back and get them up to a reasonable level, too.” It’s all just done for me, as if to assume that everyone else isn’t just sitting around watching TV while we’re out fighting monsters.
