Got a job at a grocery store in my parents' town so I'm there for the summer, though I have an interview on Tuesday at a museum about 30 min. from my actual home, so here's hoping. Working in the archives for the summer would be cool.

Speaking of movies of my youth.

Real Genius : wikipedia.org

It is not great, but it is one of my favorite movies. This movie hit for me at just the right time. I was 15 years old when it came out. This was a movie about intelligent people doing interesting/fun stuff at college. They were smart and cool and in a place where smart was valued. I was not interested in stories about high school - this was college, a place I wanted to go. While I didn't end up going to a school like CalTech.. err, "Pacific Tech", this movie showed me that there were places where I could find like minded people my age. Too deep for a comedy like this? I think not.

It had Val Kilmer (cool from Top Secret!), William Atherton (the best "jerk" character actor of those days) and Michelle Meyrink and John Gries. The actor that plays Mitch is kind of a wooden plank, but hey.

So I was playing Diablo yesterday, finally after servers were working later in the evening, then I had to log into SWTOR for an op. Which didn't work because aside from Mumble getting the overlay to show up on my screen for the first time in six months, I got booted twice from the game. Had to repair the launcher the first time, and the second as it turns out I had to reinstall. So I figure I'll reinstall overnight and play some D3 and I get to level 10. As soon as I click the button to start playing my hardcore character...Diablo servers go fubar! Definitely a conspiracy!

I will say one thing about modern games who post on forums. The majority of them are consistent...consistently stupid, but consistent nonetheless.

I started a wizard, got to level 3 this morning and am liking it, but I made a barbarian and got to 3 too. Still cant decide!

Oh and if anyone wants my Battle tag for grouping it's kfuk#1388 although I think I'm going to play hardcore mainly

So Blizzard is planning on introducing cross realm zones in MoP. That's intriguing.

Now I'm just waiting for Tuesday, going to try an exercise in patience and probably frustration as I attempt my first full runthrough in Diablo 3 on hardcore once I unlock it.

How is it possible that we are spending more for education than every before around the world, with new technologies being adopted at a younger age by people and a spellchecker even in our text message programs and we get stuff like this:

SWTOR.com General forum (from a soon to be deleted post)
I dont make any sense on those 1.2 updates. They r almost useless for 50s(except craft skills). The Legacy gears are sucks, they just better than the same level BLUE gears and even cant upgrade with characters level? Then why u call them 'Legacy' gears? Also, all the legacy skills have no benifits for 50s (except the class buffs), we cant use the valor rank needed spells( cuz they only can be used with no weapon), what r these? jokes?
Lets talk about the pvp ' rated ' gears. they have rank needed but have no difference with war hero gears(even the outfit), however, we have to use war hero gears plus rank commendations to get them. So r u telling us that we had better not play the rank warzones if they come up?
Ok, i understand a little about those updates, bio want us to level up more and more characters for dealing with the main character end game boring time.BUT, how many of us can gear up more than two 50 characters on time? We r not all professional game players, we dont have such much time to play.
Now lets see our PVP planet Ilum. Theres no pvp dailys for it anymore. This confused me a lot. Why u created this planet and make it dead after 4 months?
Besides, weekly rewards r the same as daily rewards, so give me a reason why i need to do weekly quests.
What about PVE? New ops and fps! Yeah, thats great, but none guild players r crying. Cuz no one takes the lead! We dont have something like 'dungeon finder', we have to ask in general and wait and wait and wait...
Bio, dont u see that? dont u know u r losing players? PLZ, thinking about how to keep players in instead of asking others to come! If a game is awesome, u dont need to advertise, people WILL come to play. Making the in-game players satisfied is much more important than ur advertisement.
U know what,7 years after wow begins, i dont believe the game techniques have no development, but bio, this game makes me feel like the same as 7 years before. To tell the trueth, i am so upset about 1.2 patch. I love Star Wars, I love to play a game about Star Wars, but not like this way...

I'm absolutely fascinated by people. In SWTOR the huge patch has been deployed and hasn't even been live for an hour. People are already bitching about it and bitching about what needs to he changed for the next patch! I really miss the old days, when it required some smarts to access online forums...

Also Angry Birds Space is really awesome!

are a direct attack on another player, directed at someone's rant in bright pink and triple the normal font size of the SWTOR forums. Well, I only got a warning, I know that the person I was responding to reported me, and I do find it funny even if I disagree because I have seen much, much more vicious posts stand.
