That's right Monthenor, you are humor. You're a laugh riot! Every time we're watching some really crapy movie, this genius tires to out do MST3K. Especially when we sit down for something like Virus (a Valhalla production), starring Jaime Lee Curtis; since the movie has a distinct Alien feel about it, Monty makes a crack about "Sigourney Weaver" with a Norse accent. Then we all laugh because he thought Curtis was Weaver. That was over a year ago, and we're still making cracks about it! That's how funny Monthenor is, we just can't stop laughing at him! Like his plight with Mozilla, all because he didn't get it installed properly because his box contains a finicky Windows 95. An hour of setting his home page for nothing! Ah ha ha ha ha ha! ;-)

On a happier note (I think), Eight Legged Freaks will indeed rock. Yes, it's a bad movie, but it knows it's a bad movie, and will do well with itself. Monthenor did hit the nail on the head with that humor thing... when I go to a movie, I want a higher level of humor, not "Look at me, I'm a Fox sitcom, aren't I hilarious and delightfully brainless? Look at me dance!"

GTAIII Fact of the Week: You can indeed get two hookers in your car. You don't get action any faster; your health won't skyrocket, but you've got two ho's in your ride! However... they're both in the back seat. I don't know exactly what that means, but it makes me feel justified for smacking both of them down with my bat as soon as they get out of the car. Butch would be proud.

GerbilMechs 007 : Tracking the Beast

16Jul02 (Monthenor): Yup, here we go. What's that? That's a motherfuggin' hallway, G. In perspective and all that wack comicry shit. That one panel took about 50% of my effort this week, and most of the other 50% was spent on choosing a good speech bubble to represent radio chatter. It ended up being a grayish gradient because all the little jagged line designs I tried really really blew. Heh, and now Morgion and Matto know why I was talking about ballet during the Halloween marathon :) I really wasn't expecting the hugely positive response I got for my little "this isn't bacon" joke last time. Just reinforces my notion that I don't create humor; I AM humor. That may sound egotistical, but it's not like I plan it...I'd like to see you become the butt of an insomniac exercise joke on purpose. Speaking of being the butt of cruel jokes, you'll all be happy to know that reinstalling Mozilla did indeed make it work as advertised, and I'll migrate my bookmarks sometime soon. Then it begins the Trial by Monty to determine its worth. As for new news, I'm really digging on this Demonology 101 thang that was linked in the MT forums today. I remember Pikalek showing it off a few weeks back while we were discussing GMechs, but I hadn't gone to look at it until today. And yet another champion gets added to the list. Good thing she only updates weekly...I'm swamped as it is. And oh baby, Eight Legged Freaks opens Wednesday. It's going to be really awesome...or really suck. It all depends on how 90s the humor is (since our own decade insists on merely recycling the 90s' humor [this is a BAD thing]). Maybe that Arquette idiot won't get much screen time. Maybe his insides will be liquefied and consumed in the opening sequence. Maybe he just needs a new agent. No gaming news, since it's all really gaming olds. GTA3 still holds sway, helped not the least by the fact that it's the only PS2 game I own.

17Jul02 (Monthenor): Hey now, I have an extremely finicky version of Windows 98, thank you very much. My computer and I, we have an understanding. It listens to me about 90% of the time and keeps my Winamp shuffle feature pounding out the hits that fit my mood. In return I let it have its occasional quirk, like restarting when I hit "Shut Down" or vetoing a new program. It knows I like Opera, and I guess it just didn't see the need for yet another browser. Now that we've both been subjected to public geek humiliation it wants to redeem itself. We'll give Mozilla a shot and then never speak of it again. Not that its failure is a foregone conclusion or anything. Doop de doo, stuck at work, doop de doo...check this Java out. So Gumi is supposedly our main class, except when it's an applet, which it usually is. That's when GumiApplet takes over, except that wasn't set as our main applet class. But Gumi can't be the main applet class because it didn't even include an init() method, whereas GumiApplet wasn't the main applet class because it contained nothing. To make matters worse, Gumi takes a GumiApplet as an argument in the constructor, but then keeps that reference private from the GumiGame that Gumi creates even though GumiGame needs to access the username and password from GumiApplet that weren't being passed to Gumi and which actually usually come from ConnectBox, which wasn't being called from ANY of them. There, now you're all as confused as I am. Also, Jamie Lee Curtis looks a lot like Sigourney Weaver, except not at all. Shut up.
