The weather beaten trail wound ahead into the dust racked climes of the baren land which dominates large portions of the Norgolian empire. Age worn hoof prints smothered by the sifting sands of time shone dully against the dust splattered crust of earth. The tireless sun cast its parching rays of incandescense from overhead, half way through its daily revolution. Small rodents scampered about, occupying themselves in the daily accomplishments of their dismal lives. Dust sprayed over three heaving mounts in blinding clouds, while they bore the burdonsome cargoes of their struggling overseers.
"Prepare to embrace your creators in the stygian haunts of hell, barbarian", gasped the first soldier.
"Only after you have kissed the fleeting stead of death, wretch!" returned Grignr.
A sweeping blade of flashing steel riveted from the massive barbarians hide enameled shield as his rippling right arm thrust forth, sending a steel shod blade to the hilt into the soldiers vital organs. The disemboweled mercenary crumpled from his saddle and sank to the clouded sward, sprinkling the parched dust with crimson droplets of escaping life fluid.
The enthused barbarian swilveled about, his shock of fiery red hair tossing robustly in the humid air currents as he faced the attack of the defeated soldier's fellow in arms.
"Damn you, barbarian" Shrieked the soldier as he observed his comrade in death.
A gleaming scimitar smote a heavy blow against the renegade's spiked helmet, bringing a heavy cloud over the Ecordian's misting brain. Shaking off the effects of the pounding blow to his head, Grignr brought down his scarlet streaked edge against the soldier's crudely forged hauberk, clanging harmlessly to the left side of his opponent. The soldier's stead whinnied as he directed the horse back from the driving blade of the barbarian. Grignr leashed his mount forward as the hoarsely piercing battle cry of his wilderness bred race resounded from his grinding lungs. A twirling blade bounced harmlessly from the mighty thief's buckler as his rolling right arm cleft upward, sending a foot of blinding steel ripping through the Simarian's exposed gullet. A gasping gurgle from the soldier's writhing mouth as he tumbled to the golden sand at his feet, and wormed agonizingly in his death bed.
Grignr's emerald green orbs glared lustfully at the wallowing soldier struggling before his chestnut swirled mount. His scowling voice reverberated over the dying form in a tone of mocking mirth. "You city bred dogs should learn not to antagonize your better." Reining his weary mount ahead, grignr resumed his journey to the Noregolian city of Gorzam, hoping to discover wine, women, and adventure to boil the wild blood coarsing through his savage veins.
The trek to Gorzom was forced upon Grignr when the soldiers of Crin were leashed upon him by a faithless concubine he had wooed. His scandalous activities throughout the Simarian city had unleashed throngs of havoc and uproar among it's refined patricians, leading them to tack a heavy reward over his head.
He had barely managed to escape through the back entrance of the inn he had been guzzling in, as a squad of soldiers tounced upon him. After spilling a spout of blood from the leader of the mercenaries as he dismembered one of the officer's arms, he retreated to his mount to make his way towards Gorzom, rumoured to contain hoards of plunder, and many young wenches for any man who has the backbone to wrest them away.
I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
ugh
I put Sorcerer's Stone on hold, I should pick it back up
Anyway should I play Kingdom Hearts? Now I feel a little jealous that other giant corporations don't really make badass crossovers out of their intellectual properties (possibly excepting Cartoon Network FusionFall)...

Oh, yes, definitely. Just ignore how silly it is and enjoy the amazing gameplay, voice acting, and characters.
A character's believability is directly tied to the quality of their writing. The writing in KH is... mediocre Hollywood-type stuff, at best. The plot of the first game is basically Final Fantasy 4 with the core characters replaced by Sora and friends, and Disney replacing everyone else.
But here's the thing: I never said they HAD to be believable.
Their relationships have to be, though, and with that at least Kingdom Hearts succeeds with flying colors.
As a sidenote, my computer has this really annoying button thing in the top left corner of the mousepad that's ostensibly used to zoom in and out, but more often I end up brushing against it when I'm moving the mouse and then it won't let me move. It's really irritating.
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
Glad to hear things are going well, JZ!
All this talk about Kingdom Hearts reminded me of the 3DS game, which in turn made me wonder what 3DS games I should look for when I get the chance.

Anonus: I'm thinking about getting Sticker Star too. I can't think of anything else available right now that particularly stands out, though.
I want to get Luigi's Mansion 2, and I'm curious about Animal Crossing: New Leaf (I've never played any of those games before). But the latter doesn't come out until May, and the former doesn't even have a tentative release date.

So I was at JCPenney earlier and they had this:
So I had to take the stairs.
But this turned out to be a good thing, because in the stairwell I found this gem:

"SAFETY FIRST"
To be perfectly honest, I would've taken the stairs anyway. Riding escalators makes me feel oddly uncomfortable.
I'm not sure how to explain it in a way that isn't awkward, but... being carried up an escalator doesn't feel quite as secure as climbing up stairs or riding in an elevator. I can alleviate this a little by walking up the escalator instead of just standing on it, but there's always a tiny nagging feeling like I have a risk of falling or tripping over something.

I'm right there with you on preferring stairs to escalators (I used to be deathly afraid of escalators until I was 13 or so), but normally I wouldn't have a choice because the stairs are for employees only when the escalators are running.

CA: Well, balls.
The mall I normally go to has stairs that customers can use on both ends of its main hallway. (I'm sure there's a proper term for it that I'm unaware of, BUT NO MATTER) Of course, most people use the escalator in the center of it, right next to the offshoot hallway that leads to the food court.
Every time I'm reminded of the fact that Morby is a ship by people, I die a little inside.
I know, I know, let the yaoi fans have their fun, but still. They're too straight and the interspecies romance is a little bit more off-putting when it's between a raccoon and a bird.

I have a vaguely funny story about escalators.
When I was 12 my dad and I attended a midnight release event for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. It was at the Barnes & Noble at Easton Town Center, which is a standalone two-story bookstore.
At the time I was so afraid of escalators that I insisted Dad and I take the elevator when we needed to get between the two floors. But there was always a line for the elevator, so at one point I just gave up and decided to use the escalator instead.
So I was like "Let's go upstairs" and Dad started heading toward the elevator but I was already halfway up the escalator and I was like "uh...Dad!" and he ran over and got on the escalator too.
I guess it's not that funny now that I'm telling it, but it was funny at the time.

We all got fake Harry Potter glasses
I kinda wish I'd kept them even though they were just cheap plastic things and I could probably get a pack of 3 at the dollar store
I went to the midnight releases of a couple of the Harry Potter films, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (book), Twilight 1, 3 and 4, and The Hangover Part II.
Not all of those were great works, but hey, I'm a bored teenager.

HEY TRE
If I gave you the original file of this, is there any sort of image-manipulation magic you could use to make it pretend not to be blurry?
Because I'd like to include that sign in my flashing lights project dealy but I sure as hell am not going to Georgia any time soon to re-shoot it.

You know
This might be part of why Columbus proper hasn't annexed Brice yet
Columbus wouldn't abide these substandard street widths and the homeowners probably don't want to sacrifice chunks of their yards to widen them
There's an alley in Occoquan that's that narrow, though there's no Street View there so I couldn't show you unless I went up there and took pictures. :P

I did own a copy of Donkey Kong Country at one point, but that's different.
It is therefore, a good game.
I never had any donkeys, you ass.
I think this is a good Heapstyle video
