Building security at work: still stupid.
Connectivity between disaster server and disaster desktops: still nonexistent.
Flies: still sapping my kitchen.
Credit union account: there, but I don't know my number, and I need to get money out of it today.
gaaargh.

When I go home I'm throwing out everything in the refrigerator other than the milk and the butter. And then running the most violent plot I can to work it all out of my system. Hope people don't mind OH HAI SURPRIES GUNSHIPS or anything.

I'm kind of all for it, actually.

[camwyn]

Here's hoping my HL plot victims feel the same way. If I'm feeling merciful, they'll just get helicopters instead.

[aeons_crackshot]

Helicopters are good for me at least.:-) Before the plot even started I had an idea that Annabelle might take out a chopper by hitting the tail rotor.

My character is so more bad-ass than I could ever hope to be.

Also, what is the etiquette on who posts when in a plot thread? It seems like every one posts in turn. Is that correct?

[camwyn]

Normally there's a posting order, but since we have people from different time zones and different levels of availability, I think we can allow for whoever sees a real opportunity to tag to jump in when they spot it.

[aeons_crackshot]

Thanks! I wasn't sure, so I figured I'd ask.

I've heard you actually can catch more flies with vinegar than with honey, just as a side note.

[camwyn]

I've heard much the same. Personally, I favor sticky tape over either.

[varadia]

More death and destruction is always win.

And X-23 makes an awesome damage sponge.

Except for vaporization. That is a no. OTHERWISE.

[leeshajoy.livejournal.com]

Nah, that comes from the Striders and their penises of doom, not the gunships.

[varadia]

I'm pretty sure it will be a while before I don't find that funny.

*snerks*

[leeshajoy.livejournal.com]

I mostly continue to call it that because it annoys Cam. ;P

[camwyn]

Ovipositors of doom are much more unpleasant than mere giant alien wangs.

[leeshajoy.livejournal.com]

More unpleasant than death by bukakke?

[camwyn]

Ovipositors imply that the bearer of the ovipositor is about to lay an egg in something and the egg will hatch and what's inside will eat its way out.

[leeshajoy.livejournal.com]

But the Strider's guns don't work that way, do they? :P

[camwyn]

True, they don't- but the promise of working that way is something I, for one, find immensely more disturbing. (Then again, I used to go completely berserk searching for Tentaculats during games of X-Com 2, because there was no way in hell I was going to let some flying brain sneak up on my people and infect them. I have a thing about 'oh my god WHAT'S in there??' when it comes to aliens.)

...And for the first time I'm glad to not be a Milliways mun. :)

[camwyn]

I am not a kindly god. Never claimed to be. Fortunately, the only people subject to this are the ones who volunteered to participate in the assault on City 17 in acts_of_gord's world, rather than everyone in the game.


.... not that I don't still want Bruce the Combine gunship flying around out behind Milliways.

[leeshajoy.livejournal.com]

My Alyx headvoice says NO THANK YOU.

[midnightlurker.livejournal.com]

... o/~ Bruce the Combine Gunship lived by the, um, scene

And frolicked in the wastelands out beyond City 17... o/~

Doesn't scan, darnit. -.-#

[cameoflage.livejournal.com]

That would be AWESOME. I come to* Milliways for the crack, and it delivers. In bulk.

*Technically, lurk at. I can't write fanfic because I have a mental block in that department, so I'll probably never join in, but I love reading it.

[blackjack-svr.livejournal.com]

This was the final straw that made me go look at what Milliways is.

Yeah, okay, so, now I feel like I'm the last to have heard of it.
